OnlyFans: Website for Adult Content Creators

OnlyFans was started as a social media platform just like the other social media platforms. However, influencers were given a choice to post whatever content they preferred. 

OnlyFans included softcore to X-rated content. Furthermore, it was a privileged feature meaning anyone willing to pay was given access to the content.

This platform has snowballed in the last few years and has created a big buzz in the porn world. In addition, the platform has allowed adult performers to connect with people by paying a monthly charge.

To date, the best OnlyFans pages bring in thousands per month. According to Matthew Camp, a gay performer, his page has earned more than USD 10,000 in a month. The exciting thing is that he earned this figure before releasing penetrative scenes.

Business Model of OnlyFans

First of all, OnlyFans is not an app. It started as an adult website and gradually expanded to become a major player in this niche. OnlyFans has become so popular there was a massive flow of traffic to the site in 2020.

Anyone can sign up here. There is no restriction regarding the content being posted or shared. There is both clean as well as obscene material. Technically, it may be considered a general application and has not been developed just for adult content. Surprisingly, people from other fields use this site as well. These include bloggers, dieticians and more.

However, the site has become useful for people from other fields as well, including adult entertainment. Porn stars, porn creators, adult models and cam girls flock to this site. Even reality TV program creators who want to make some extra cash visit this site for content so that they can share revealing snaps.

In the opinion of OnlyFans, if you are into social media and required to produce your content, you should opt for OnlyFans. Whether it is uploading a few tips, a tutorial, behind-the-scenes footage or only selfies, many people will be willing to pay to see those.

The users can view or share photos, videos, and live streams on this platform. Some people use this application to share naughty pictures for quick money. Also, there are professional sex workers who use all the site’s features to generate money.

OnlyFans Page Creation and Profit Sharing

There are two ways of using this web application, first as a subscriber and second as an earner. If you are looking to earn, you have to add a bank account and start uploading the content. The best thing about OnlyFans is that it is possible to charge whatever comes to the mind of subscribers. It could be something as low as USD 5 per month while there is no upper limit.

Depending on the content, it is possible to charge USD 1 million for a month. Users need to ensure that the subscribers understand the value of such a high price. Once that is done, no problem at all.

For every sale made, OnlyFan keeps 20%, and the remaining 80 per cent is given back to the creator or owner of the content. The 20% commission is utilized for covering expenses in lieu of the website hosting, payment processing and other miscellaneous expenses necessary to keep the website and the application functionalities up and running.

The payment processing system is an in-built feature. It has been designed so that there is no need for any external or third party billing or payment portal. All the payouts are managed by the site’s algorithm and happen instantly every day. However, depending on specific cases, there could be a delay of up to 7 days. For example, if there is a new subscriber or a tip on the first day of any month, the transaction may get initiated on the 2nd of the month. Then, on the eighth day, the site would raise a transaction for the earnings done on the 2nd. This is how the cycle will continue in such cases.

OnlyFans Referrals

If someone is referred to OnlyFans, the person would be 5% of the lifetime income. However, since the platform is soaring, it can attract subscribers by almost 150 thousand within 24 hours. So, there is a possibility that the referral payment may get limited, or a restriction might be imposed. Predated referrals, however, would continue for some time. But, after that, no one knows what might happen next.

The decision to limit the referral scheme might affect the sex workers since many sex performers rely on OnlyFans for income. Also, new performers are joining almost every minute. Therefore, OnlyFans will be coming up with a new formula soon so that the flow of new performers continues while the existing ones do not feel left out.

To become a part of the OnlyFans family. You first need to add the payment card and then click the subscribe option on a profile you fancy. Once done, the content will be immediately locked. For example, all adult content is restricted until there is a subscription for a chosen account.
