Want to know how to boost your OnlyFans presence? Looking to attract more followers? Wondering where to promote your OnlyFans account? Let’s dive right in!
The key to increasing your followers and subscribers on OnlyFans is to drive more traffic to your profile. Why? Because more traffic means more visibility, and more visibility leads to more profits.
So, how can you generate traffic for your OnlyFans page? It’s actually pretty straightforward.
First, sign up for popular platforms and social media sites (we’ll cover all the options in this guide) that already have a large user base, like Instagram. Next, start posting enticing content on these platforms. Finally, make sure to include a link in your bio or “about me” section that directs users either directly or indirectly (more details on that coming up) to your OnlyFans page.
That’s all there is to it! By following these steps, you’ll be on your way to boosting your OnlyFans presence and attracting a growing audience.
Principles of promoting OnlyFans on Social Media
When it comes to promoting your OnlyFans, social media should be your go-to strategy. The key concept is to build popularity and potentially go viral on your social media platforms. By doing so, you can redirect a portion of that traffic to your OnlyFans page, where some of those viewers will become new subscribers.
Think of social media as the starting point of your OnlyFans promotion, serving as the top of a sales funnel. Your goal is to capture as much attention as possible and entice those viewers to subscribe to your OnlyFans account by offering enticing previews of your amazing content.
Consider your social media accounts as the entry point to your OnlyFans sales funnel, where you create awareness and attract as many eyeballs as possible.
⚠️⚠️Not all social media platforms are friendly to OnlyFans creators⚠️⚠️
Read the overview section of each social media listed below to see whether the platform is friendly to onlyfans creators. And whether or not or not you should link directly or indirectly to your OnlyFans in the bio of that social media.
Link directly or indirectly to OnlyFans?
In your social media account bio, you need to have a link that either leads directly or indirectly to your OnlyFans page.
Like this:Social Media -> link -> OnlyFans.Depending on the social media platform that link may not link directly to OnlyFans page.On certain social media platforms (e.g. Instagram and TikTok), you will get banned or shadowbanned for linking directly to OnlyFans or obvious onlyfans promotion.
So, in that case, your link would link to either:
1. An onlyfans creators friendly platform like Twitter (which has a link to your OnlyFans in its bio)2. A landing page made in allmylinks/linktree/beacons.aiE.g. 1 Social Media bio -> Twitter link -> OnlyFans
E.g. 2 Social Media bio -> allmylinks landing page -> OnlyFans
What is a landing page?
A reference landing page is just a webpage that contains links about you.
For example links to your OnlyFans and social media accounts, maybe even your personal website.
Linktree, allmylinks and beacons.ai are the most popular tools Onlyfans creators use that allow you to create reference landing pages for free.
Linktree lets you create a page that looks like the one above, and contains links to all your socials.
OnlyFans search sites
The OnlyFans platform itself does not really have a good search feature. It’s pretty limited and does not let you filter or search by niche/body type and so on.
So it’s really hard for potential subs to find you organically on OnlyFans – they can’t just type “big booty creators” into a search bar and get results. That’s why loads of third-party websites have been created to help potential subs find the type of content creator they’re looking for. Some of them allow “ads” to be purchased by creators.
The biggest OnlyFans search sites in the industry are:
These sites have a lot of traffic from guys who are looking for the right profiles to subscribe to. This makes them a great platform to promote your OnlyFans. For a fee, you can get yourself to the top of the search results and get guaranteed traffic to your page. This works just like the ads you see at the top of a Google search result.
ModelSearcher: A very Special case
ModelSearcher.com is the latest search- and discovery-engine for OnlyFans accounts. The concept is quite unique: You as an OnlyFans creator can enrich your ModelSearcher profile by posting pictures and videos. Both SFW and NSFW. The more pictures and videos fans will see of you, the more they are likely to visit your OnlyFans account where they can subscribe to your account.
And the more content you post on ModelSearcher, the HIGHER you profile will rank in organic search results – and the MORE fans will see your profile. Which will result in more clicks to your OnlyFans account.
Something very particular of this place is that it feels to be the “discovery section” that OnlyFans lacks of. So, a clever strategy would be to combine your ModelSearcher profile with your OnlyFans posting. ModelSearcher will redirect all of the users to your OnlyFans profile aswell.
#️HASHTAGS #️ To Promote OnlyFans
To effectively promote your content on platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter, utilizing hashtags is essential. However, simply spamming hashtags is no longer effective in 2023, as these platforms have become smarter in detecting such tactics.
The key to successful OnlyFans promotion lies in conducting hashtag research and carefully selecting the appropriate ones. Look for current, relevant, and popular hashtags that align with your niche and incorporate them into your posts.
Ideally, you should use a combination of hashtags:
Highly popular hashtags within your niche.
Moderately popular hashtags within your niche.
Popular hashtags that may not directly relate to your niche.
It’s important to note that Instagram and TikTok have blacklisted certain hashtags. These hashtags are restricted, meaning that content using them cannot be easily discovered. Hashtags related to nudity, OnlyFans, explicit content, illegal substances, racial issues, and more fall into this category.
Therefore, avoiding using such hashtags on Instagram is crucial when promoting your OnlyFans account. Adhering to these guidelines can optimize your hashtag usage and increase your chances of reaching a wider audience.
Reddit to promote OnlyFans
Overview
NSFW content-friendly? ✅
Can you link OnlyFans in bio? ✅
Can you mention OnlyFans in captions, titles, etc? ✅ *
*rules vary from subreddit to subreddit
How to get more followers on OnlyFans with Reddit
Reddit is an amazing platform that has ‘subreddits’. Subreddits are different communities of Reddit users for just about everything including your content niche.
The overall strategy for OnlyFans promotion on Reddit is:
1. Find popular subreddits in your niche
2. Post promo content there
3. Link your OnlyFans in your Reddit profile
While Reddit can be a goldmine for onlyfans promotion it can also be a tough nut to crack.
Rules vary from subreddit to subreddit and you need to play by the rules to avoid getting banned.
💸How to sell on Reddit💸
In general, you want your account to look ‘real’ and not like an account that’s used just for pushing your OnlyFans and onlyfans promotion. Reddit users are very sensitive about being sold to… you can’t come across as ‘pushy’ or ‘salesy’ on Reddit and you can’t spam your OnlyFans link everywhere. Reddit users need to feel like they ‘found’ your OnlyFans ‘naturally’ without being pushed there.
Reddit OnlyFans Promotion Subreddits
Reddit has some subreddits for onlyfans promotion so you can post content and your OF link there if you’re just starting out and looking to maybe get a few subscribers.
💫PROTIP💫 Promotion subreddits, like promo threads on Twitter, are mostly full of sellers and not buyers – but you can gain some subs from these subreddits as there are some genuine buyers there too
Here are some NSFW (Not Safe For Work) OnlyFans related and onlyfans promotion subreddits you can post to if you do nude/lewd content:
Summary
Reddit Do’s
✅ Find subreddits related to your niche
✅ Read those subreddits rules
✅ Obey the rules to avoid being banned
✅ Link your OF page in your profile ‘About’ section or a Profile pinned post
✅ Reply to all comments but not DMs
✅ Post to non-adult and popular subreddits too
Reddit Dont’s
❌ Don’t post OF links next to your pictures/videos
❌ Don’t break individual subreddit rules… you’ll get banned
❌ Don’t respond to 99% of DMs – timewasters.
TikTok to promote OnlyFans and get subscribers
TikTok Overview
NSFW content-friendly? ❌
Can your OnlyFans link in bio? ❌
Can you mention OnlyFans in captions, titles? ❌
You might be thinking:
“Oh no – TikTok is not friendly to OnlyFans creators and adult content and I can’t post my OnlyFans link in bio… no way I can use it for onlyfans promotion…”
Wrong! TikTok is an amazing platform for onlyfans promotion. TikTok has an insane amount of traffic. In fact – In 2022 TikTok overtook Google as the most visited website in the world.
So how do you leverage that insane popularity and ability to go viral? You just have to be clever in how you go about it.
How to funnel TikTok traffic to OnlyFans?
Simply put: in your TikTok bio link to a platform that contains a link to your OnlyFans.
How to get OnlyFans subscribers using TikTok?
First – keep it PG 13 so that you don’t get banned.
Stay updated with TikTok trends: Follow popular TikTokers to stay in the loop regarding what’s currently trending and popular on the platform. Create and post content that aligns with these trends to maximize your chances of reaching a wider audience.
Explore popular content formats: Certain types of content consistently perform well on TikTok, such as dancing videos, lip-synching videos, and participating in trending challenges. Incorporate these formats into your content strategy to leverage their popularity and engage with TikTok users.
Utilize hashtags strategically: Hashtags play a crucial role in TikTok’s discoverability. Include relevant and trending hashtags in your video captions, aiming for about four – eight hashtags per post. This can help your content reach a larger audience interested in your niche.
Create engaging videos: TikTok promotes videos based on how long users watch before scrolling to the next one. Aim to captivate your audience from the start, as the longer they watch, the better it is for your video’s visibility. Strive for a minimum watch time of 5 seconds, with 7-10 seconds being even better. Keep this in mind when planning and filming your TikTok videos to increase viewer retention.
Think about this when you are making videos. You want to keep people watching your TikTok to the end, not swipe away.
Tiktok Do’s
✅ Post consistently
✅ Use viral sounds and make suggestive type videos using them
✅ Try not to get banned
✅ Show either cleavage or legs – but not both (both = risk of being banned)
✅ Copy popular creators in your niche
Tiktok Dont’s
❌ Don’t post any nudity or anything too sexy
❌ Do not show underwear
❌ Don’t mention “OnlyFans” anywhere
Twitter to Promote Your OnlyFans
Overview
NSFW content-friendly? ✅
Can you link OnlyFans in bio? ✅
Can you mention OnlyFans in captions, titles? ✅
Twitter is pretty friendly to adult content and OnlyFans creators. You can safely link your OnlyFans in your bio – you will not be banned or shadow-banned. You can also safely use OnlyFans related hashtags on Twitter (we recommend using a maximum of 3 hashtags per post).
Here are some popular OnlyFans related hashtags you can use on Twitter:
#onlyfans #onlyfansspotlight #onlyfansgirl #onlyfansbabe #Onlyfans #onlyfansmodel #OnlyFansPromo #Onlyfansnewby #onlyfansgirl #onlyfanspages #onlyfanscreator #egirl #sellingcontent #onlyfansgirls
You can copy & paste them anytime.
How to get more OnlyFans followers from Twitter
To grow your OnlyFans following via Twitter you generally want to be active and post content regularly on there.
Trying to post 1-2 times consistently a day is a good goal to aim for.
Engage with your followers – reply to comments and DM’s.
Post polls and invite engagement with your posts by asking questions.
You should network with other OnlyFans models on Twitter too.
Networking with other models will help you find other models who can help you to grow your OnlyFans. They can invite you into Twitter RT (retweet) groups, Telegram groups, and shoutout groups.
🥷The Twitter Steal Method🥷
This is a lesser-known more ‘secret’ (and controversial…) method that can work great. Think of the other methods discussed so far as a sort of ‘shotgun’ approach.
Well, then this method is a ‘sniper’ method.
Here’s how it works:
You find popular OnlyFans content creators in your niche.
Find their Twitter account.
Look at their Twitter followers.
You follow and/or DM some of their Twitter followers and eventually share your OnlyFans page link with them – if they’re interested.
Some people (including OnlyFans models) think this method is not moral, so use only a little and at your own risk.
Twitter Do’s
✅ Use 1-3 hashtags per post
✅ Link your OnlyFans/allMyLinks in your bio
✅ Use the words OnlyFans and OnlyFans related hashtags
✅ Use hashtags related to your niche
✅ Network with other OnlyFans models
✅ Like, comment, and engage with other OnlyFans models
✅ Participate in engagement threads (S4S, Retweet for Retweet, etc.)
Twitter Don’ts
❌ Never use more than 3 hashtags
❌ Don’t post your best content. The goal of your Twitter account is to drive traffic to your FREE OnlyFans page
❌ Don’t post fully nude content (it’s technically allowed… but we don’t recommend)
Snapchat To Get OnlyFans Subscribers
Overview
NSFW content-friendly? ❌
Can you link OnlyFans in bio? ❌
Can you mention OnlyFans in captions, titles? ❌
Can you mention OnlyFans in DMs? ✅
Like Insta/Tiktok etc. you cannot safely post your OnlyFans link on Snapchat – you’ll get banned.
💸The Tinder & Snapchat funnel 💸
One way to use Snapchat to promote your onlyfans is to pair it with Tinder.
On Tinder put your Snapchat in your bio.
Add everyone who adds your snap to a private story where you post your promotion pics (that u use on Reddit and Twitter etc).
Send your OnlyFans link when they DM you.
This is actually crazy effective when done right 😉.
Snapchat Do’s
✅ Use as part of a sales funnel
✅ Add people to private stories
✅ Do DM people your OnlyFans link
✅If you offer sexting as a service snap is good for live pics and vids
Snapchat Dont’s
❌ Post about OnlyFans
❌ Post nudity outside DMs
Adult Tube Sites
You can use adult tube sites like Pornhub to promote your OnlyFans – there is an insane amount of traffic on these sites.
Most of that traffic is only looking for freebies – true. But that 1% that’s willing to pay for content?
That’s still a huge number – 1% of 100’s of millions is a lot! 😉
A lot of these tube sites have social media-like functionality so that you can create your own profile and add links to your OnlyFans and other socials.
What should you post on these sites?
1-2 minutes videos and teaser content works best if your main goal is to promote your OnlyFans. You can post longer and more explicit content either – this does work for some OnlyFans creators.
But the idea is the same for us as non-adult social media… You want people to sub to your OnlyFans to see explicit content they have not seen before for free. Obviously, you can be more explicit on Pornhub than on Instagram so use this to your advantage but we suggest leaving something off the table. Something that they have to subscribe to your OnlyFans if they want to see.
Manyvids has its own organic traffic, so can bring you traffic and sales. You can post videos that can be bought individually a-la-carte on there. And you can also link to your other social media accounts in your profile section. But most traffic is likelier to buy individual videos directly from Manyvids. This is good since it’s another income source outside of OnlyFans for OnlyFans creators. And Manyvids is just not the best platform to promote your OnlyFans.
Pornhub Community
Pornhub has its own organic traffic to bring you traffic. You can post clips/teaser content there and say to go to your OnlyFans for the full video. Or you can post full / longer videos too. And you can also link your OnlyFans in your profile.
You should be able to drive traffic from PornHub to OnlyFans much more than on ManyVids where you’re more likely to sell full-length videos.
Instagram To Promote Onlyfans
Overview
NSFW content-friendly? ❌
Can you link OnlyFans in bio? ❌
Can you mention OnlyFans in captions, titles? ❌
Can you mention OnlyFans in DMs? ✅
Instagram is not very friendly to onlyfans creators but it’s still an effective tool to promote your onlyfans. You just need to be very careful to avoid being banned or shadow-banned.
❗The three main rules to follow on Instagram:❗
Never link to your OnlyFans page
Keep photos mild
Never mention “OnlyFans” anywhere
🚨(1) Never link to OnlyFans🚨
Instagram is not very friendly when it comes to OnlyFans models.
That means that even having OnlyFans in your linktree/allmylinks might get you banned or shadow-banned. To work around these new restrictions:
Have linktree/allmylink in your Insta bio.
DO NOT link your OnlyFans in there.
Do have a link to your Twitter.
In your Twitter bio link your OnlyFans.
🚨(2) Keep photos mild🚨
Instagram does NOT allow full-frontal nudity on your account. All content must be considered SFW (safe for work).
Instagram is not very clear about these rules and is often inconsistent – allowing big celebrities to post content they might ban you for. So it’s wise to err on the side of caution. You WILL get in trouble if you show private parts… so keep your content sexually suggestive at most. Keep your captions and descriptions sexually suggestive and not explicit either.
🚨(3) Never mention “OnlyFans” anywhere🚨
In hashtags, comments and captions never use the word “onlyfans”. Instagram will flag your account if you mention OnlyFans.
Lastly, remember to always engage with your followers if they comment and like your content. Even if it’s just liking their comment. But a 2-second reply of “thank youuu ” is much better.
📈How to grow a brand new Instagram account📈
Are you starting a new Instagram account to promote your OnlyFans but don’t know how to get your first few hundred followers?
Don’t worry we gotchu’ .
The easiest way to kickstart an Instagram account is to use the ‘follow/unfollow method. First, find a smaller page, say, 1-10k followers, in your niche. Next, find a post of theirs that has a few hundred likes and lots of comments and start following people who liked or commented on that post.
Some of these people will follow you back. A 30-50% follow-back ratio is possible if your profile picture if good (bright and exciting) and your Insta page is on point.
Do not follow or unfollow too many people in a single day
When starting stick to 30 follows a day and then 50 the next day and gradually ramp up to 100 follows a day. If you follow or unfollow too many times in a day (or hour) Insta or Twitter will flag your account as suspicious. This is a cool hack to get potential subs because you’re following people who engaged with another content creator in your niche.
And engagement is what Instagram is all about.
If you have 10,000 followers but only 100 people like your posts, Instagram (and potential subs) will suspect something fishy. You need to unfollow people as you grow, little by little continuously.
Remember that ultimately likes and engagement is what you should be aiming for, not follower count. If your posts are getting tonnes of likes and a decent amount of comments, this is what will give you a chance of hitting the Instagram Explore Page.
That’s the ultimate goal because if you do hit the Explore Page your account has a decent chance of blowing up / going vial. Finally, post SFW content only, but not content that will get you banned. No explicit content, no full-frontal nudity, always ERR ON THE SIDE OF CAUTION.
Instagram Do’s
✅ Use allMyLinks/linkTree/beacons.ai in your bio (without OnlyFans link to be super safe)
✅ Set your page to public
✅ Post stories & regular content often…!
✅ Shoutout for Shoutout
✅ Use hashtags
✅ Before using any tags on Instagram, search them yourself to see they are shadowbanned
Instagram Dont’s
❌ Don’t use sexually explicit language anywhere
❌ Don’t post ANY sexually explicit content
❌ Don’t use sexually explicit hashtags
Adult Cam sites
If you’re comfortable getting on cam on adult webcam sites then get yourself a decent webcam and hop-on to Chaturbate or Myfreecams (MFC) and promote your OnlyFans on there.
Do something interesting or exciting to build attention to your room and then try and promote your OnlyFans in the main chat or move people from DM’s over to your OnlyFans to see more of your content.
Camming for OnlyFans is pretty simple – if you are able to be engaging and attract viewers some of them will want to sign up to see your onlyfans content. Just make sure your onlyfans link is easy to find.
When it comes to picking the right cam site to promote your onlyfans Chaturbate is the more “sexual” of the big two (Chaturbate and Myfreecams) and also allows couples to stream too.
Chaturbate and MFC both have a 50%+ payout percentage and high levels of traffic.
📷Camming Equipment 📷
Using your laptop’s built-in webcam will not be good enough quality for these streaming sites.
You need a good quality external webcam.
The Logitech C920 is used and highly recommended by onlyfans creators and camgirls.
A good external cam is enough to get started but if you want to take it to the next level then you need to consider lighting & maybe some props.
Chaturbate
One of the OG cam sites. Chaturbate has tons of traffic is a great site to promote your OnlyFans. Once you start broadcasting, you must find ways to engage viewers, commenting, and tipping.You should have some mechanism or offer to entice them to move to OnlyFans.
MyFreeCams
Another OG cam site that has loads of traffic and is pretty similar to Chaturbate.
Shoutouts / Cross Promotion
A Shoutout is when someone promotes your page on a social media platform. You usually pay for a one-way shoutout like this.
A shoutout for shoutout (S4S) is when someone mentions your page on their social media platform and asks their followers to check out your page, and you do the same for them in return.
This way you both benefit from more exposure to each other’s followers.
To get this type of shoutout lookout for S4S groups on Twitter, Telegram, and Reddit.
🧠Should you pay for shoutouts or just do S4S?🧠
Purchasing a few shoutouts is a good idea when you’re starting out to get some momentum going.
Once you have some followers you can start to use S4S so that you’re not paying for shoutouts anymore.
⭐Principles of good Shoutouts⭐
Whether it’s a paid shoutout or a S4S try to get shoutouts from models in your niche with as many followers as possible.
For example, if you are in the BBW niche, you should get shoutouts other BBW models as their followers will probably like your BBW content too.
Shoutouts On OnlyFans
The OnlyFans platform itself is one of the best traffic sources because OnlyFans already has a large audience of paying customers… you just need to get them to look at YOUR page.
Engaging in OnlyFans S4S (Shoutout for Shoutout) is the best way to gain exposure FAST on the OnlyFans platform.
Shoutouts On Instagram
Instagram has a bunch of traffic so shoutouts/cross promotions here are potentially very effective.Try to shout out with creators in your niche.
Shoutouts On Twitter
Twitter has a bunch of traffic so shoutouts/cross promotions here are potentially very effective.Try to shoutout with creators in your niche.
Where can you buy paid shoutouts?
You can browse influencers and purchase shoutouts using tools like https://shoutcart.com
It’s not even that expensive.
If you have $30-$70 to spare it’s worth trying a shoutout or two to see if they work for you.
Try to screen for legit accounts with hundreds of thousands of engaged followers.
Before purchasing a shoutout through ShoutCart you should check the page’s engagement (how many people are liking and interacting with their content) yourself by checking out their page on whatever platform they’re using (Insta/TikTok ect.)
Browse lots of influencers on Shoutcart, use the filters to help narrow your search, then pick a few that best match your niche.
You can filter influencers by category, audience size, follower demographics, or simply search by keyword.
Streaming Sites (Non-Adult)
Live broadcasting apps like Liveme, Twitch, and Periscope are great places to promote your OnlyFans. If you want a mobile app checkout Cake(android) or Coconut(iPhone), they are basically the same app. Be warned in advance that you will encounter a lot of trolls on these apps when you promote your OnlyFans, especially Periscope. But hey – you need to have thick skin in this game.
On these apps promote your OnlyFans until you get banned (if enough people report you you will get banned). Then make a new account, rinse and repeat this process as many times as you need.
Twitch
Twitch is a streaming site for video gamers but you can use it to promote your OnlyFans. You want to stream yourself (most important) playing some game.Make sure that you can see that the game are both being streamed. After that, you need some mechanism to move people to your OnlyFans.That might be just having your Instagram in your Twitch bio. And your Instagram has an Allmylinks with a link to your OnlyFans.
🧠Twitch hack🧠
Do you or can you play video games? Then this Twitch hack is a good method to try out.
Since all of the popular video games have a large number of people already playing them and competing for views they are too competitive for newbies.
What you should do is find an older, smaller, less popular game and stream yourself playing that.
With a lesser-known ‘niche’ game, you’ll have less competition and you should aim to get 10-100 people watching your stream.
Just put your Allmylinks/linktree in your bio, don’t do anything else to promote your OnlyFans.
And of course, you need to be streaming yourself from a good webcam and the stream of the actual game playing.
FYI: You don’t have to stream video games, although that is what the platform is for, so expect to get banned if you’re streaming other things, but you can simply make new accounts.
Youtube
We all know what YouTube is.And just like Twitch, you need a sneaky way for your subscribers to find your OnlyFans.
If there is no way for people to find your OnlyFans, it doesn’t matter how much traffic you get on YouTube – it will not increase your OnlyFans subs.
Omegle
This free chatting and webcam app allows you to connect with strangers around the world. You can either chat or video chat with strangers. When you use Omegle, they randomly pick someone else and let you talk one-on-one with them. You can even target your audience using the search function on the Omegle website. Engage with people in the chat and get them to follow you on your socials or OnlyFans.
Dating Apps
Some people think that it’s not nice to use dating apps to promote your OnlyFans (even if it’s just secretly in the DMs) – but hey that’s up to you.
Personally, we believe in getting the bag and worrying about other things later. Dating apps can be a great way to promote your OnlyFans.
You need to be a bit sneaky in the way you use Tinder to promote your onlyfans so that you avoid getting banned.One thing you can do is move your Tinder matches to SnapChat and from there add them to a private story and promote your onlyfans the DMs.
Here’s one way you can use Tinder to promote your page:
Make a new Tinder Profile.
DON’T put your OnlyFans link in your bio
Adjust the age range to also show older guys (older guys spend more money)
Only match with people you think you might be able to move to OnlyFans
After a few messages let them know they can talk to you over at OnlyFans
