How to Promote OnlyFans 

There are a few ways to get you to the top 1% on OnlyFans. We’re going to learn what can get you on OnlyFans search engines and put your name out there. 

So without further ado, let’s find out what has worked for other creators, and might be able to get you that bag! Let’s jump in.

1. Promoting Your OnlyFans on Social Media

When trying to successfully launch your OnlyFans page, social media platforms are your best friend. 

From everyday apps like Instagram to niche corners like Reddit, you can promote your OF everywhere. Since OnlyFans doesn’t have an explore option, other platforms with strong algorithms are your best bet. 

Let’s start with one of the most popular ones, Instagram.

How to Promote OnlyFans on Instagram

The very first thing to remember with IG is that it doesn’t allow for nudity. So you need to give a taste of what your OF content is, while not getting too NSFW. 

Teasing OnlyFans is easy. Share a few bikini pics, make some videos in the gym, and make your content known to potential fans. The hard part is walking the line between getting banned and just posting cute selfies. 

If you choose to avoid teasing your OF content, you can instead leverage trends. You’re basically trying to grow your Instagram followers. Use tags, trends, collabs, whatever you can to get your reels viewed by users.

Once you get people to your IG page, it’s time to take them to OnlyFans. You can use a link in bio tool like Linktree or Linkme. Make sure to drop hints about your OF account in your videos as well.

There are plenty of elements involved in going viral on Instagram. You need to control when you post, use reels, get users to engage, use hooks, and plenty more. It’s also important to have a content plan.

For example, Ari Kytsya started her account by just posting fun content. She managed to grow her account to 2.6M followers in less than a year.

By putting her links in bio, hinting at her OF, and funneling those fans into her paying subscribers, she also managed to get her OnlyFans likes to 645K.

So aim for going viral, remaining safe-for-work, and still letting fans know they can get more from you.

How to Promote OnlyFans on Reddit

Reddit is an incredibly powerful tool when you’re getting started on OnlyFans. In addition to subreddits dedicated to finding and reviewing OnlyFans creators, you can also post on kink-friendly subreddits.

For example, if you have a couple OnlyFans account, you can also post on r/Cuckold. Alternatively, you can post on r/ChubbyGirlsGW and introduce yourself if you’re on the heavier side.

You can also get help from r/OnlyFansAdvice. Tons of experienced OF girls actually enjoy helping out newcomers. 

So you can gain new followers, defend yourself against negative reviews, and find new creators to grow together on Reddit.

However, there are some important factors you need to remember for posting on Reddit. Let’s take a look:

• Read each subreddit’s guidelines and stick to them.
• Verify your identity. You can do this for each subreddit separately, or use r/LetsVerify. 
• Be consistent, submit to 5-10 subreddits a day.
• Keep it varied between subreddits with different niches and kinks.

That’s it. Remember to stick to the guidelines and stay on Reddit’s good side.

How to Promote OnlyFans on Twitter

Another popular advertising tool is Twitter (or X). An advantage this platform has over IG is that it allows for adult content. This means you can post whatever you want, without the fear of getting banned. 

The problem is that this platform isn’t very good at introducing new content to users. So it may take you a while to gather a following. You have a few options here. You can:

• Engage with viral tweets,
• Use tags,
• Join retweet groups,
• Use trending phrases.

Make sure to keep your profile updated, link directly to your OnlyFans, maintain good quality content, and post consistently.

There are some…shady tricks that also prove helpful to some users. For example, this Reddit user reports that paying to push a phrase to the trending tab and then posting her promo in that tab was very helpful for her.

So next time you’re wondering how to promote OnlyFans on X, remember to stay patient and consistent.

How to Promote OnlyFans on TikTok

As opposed to Twitter, TikTok has the perfect algorithm for promoting newcomers. Most influencers believe that your first few videos on TikTok will be on strangers’ FYP, no matter what their content is. 

TikTok’s algorithm can help you get seen by a completely new audience. However, you need to understand how to use its full potential. To get fans from TikTok, you need to:

• Use Tags: You can use hashtags about your content niche, like #AltGirl, #Goth. You can also use OF related tags like #Spicy, or #OnlyFriends. 
• Make Use of Trends: TikTok loves its trends. Your content doesn’t have to be spicy either. Just do a famous dance or copy a trending sound. The goal is simply to get your name out there.
• Comply with Guidelines: TikTok is extremely uptight about guidelines. Make sure to keep your content family-friendly to avoid getting banned. 

You can also build a new community with other creators. Secret tags like #accountants, #OnlyFriends, and #feettok are great for finding your coworkers. 

For example, Sophie Rain managed to grow her OnlyFans mostly through TikTok. She created an OF house (BOP house) through the community, and grew her own and other creators’ pages through it. 

Ultimately, Sophie made $43M from the platform, proving that OF can be more than just a side hustle.

Once you know who has the same vibes, you can collaborate and grow together. As long as you keep users on the platform, TikTok will appreciate your content.

So we’ve learned to use social media to grow our account, but is there any other way? Users sometimes wonder how to promote OnlyFans without using social media. 

While this is an option, it does make your promotion work much more difficult. So only opt for this if you absolutely have to. With that in mind, let’s jump in.

2. Use Dating Apps

What better place to find your audience than dating apps? Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, and Sugar Daddy are all great, but you need to avoid getting banned. 

Most apps aren’t opposed to you promoting your OF as long as the content you’re posting is PG-13. However, you can’t directly link to any adult websites. 

You can include a Linktree or Beacon.ai link, but no direct links to OnlyFans. While this is true for most dating platforms, make sure to check each website individually. 

Another problem that you might face is less-than-polite people in your messages, especially on Tinder. Since you may need to swipe right on many people to get more subscribers, there’s no guarantee they’ll be nice.

Stay safe out there!

3. Collaborate with Other Creators

Shoutouts, word-of-mouth, or just being in someone else’s videos can also prove effective. You can do shoutout for shoutout, pay to be on someone’s wall, or crosspost a video to both of your pages.

When looking for a creator to collaborate with, you can check Reddit and OF search engines first. It’s important to find creators who post similar content to yours. 

This ensures that their audience will enjoy your content as well, making it easier to get new subscribers.

Building a community can also help creators grow their pages. That’s how most members of content houses such as BOP house gain fame.

So similar content, community, and shoutouts can help you find your subscribers.

4. Use Adult Websites

By promoting your OnlyFans on adult websites such as Pornhub and Brazzers, you’re ensuring access to an audience that wants to see you.

You can post teasers, short clips, or photo compilations, depending on the website you’re posting on. Make sure to keep something hidden as motivation for fans to subscribe. 

As ever, mention your OnlyFans but don’t link directly to it. The idea of having your photos on a website like Pornhub isn’t exactly appealing. However, it’s a safe bet to get new subscribers. 

5. Do Paid Promotions (OnlyFans Search Engines)

Since OF doesn’t offer a search engine, there are many third-party search engines you can use. These tools allow people to search and find creators based on factors like location, age, niche, and looks.

You can pay these websites to put you higher up on the search results. While this means your profile will be pointed out as “Sponsored”, it still shows up on the first or second page.  

6. Hire an OnlyFans Agency

Your other option is to find an OnlyFans agency that’s in line with your financial goals. Depending on what you choose, these agencies can launch campaigns for you, reach out to other creators, and even respond to DMs.

Make sure to carefully study these agencies, as some of them have a bad history with creators. 

For example, Unruly Agency has been sued by many creators. One unknown “Jane Doe” and Sarah Stage and Jessica Quezada are only three of their plaintiffs.

Creators found that this agency takes over their finances, shares content without their consent, and has even shared “revenge porn” after a model left them.

So when you’re trying to find an agency to work with, make sure to look into their legal history as well. 

How to Promote Your OnlyFans Anonymously

You might be surprised, but you can make money on OnlyFans without showing your face. There are a few ways to keep your identity hidden while promoting your account. Let’s dive in.

Create Anonymous Social Media Accounts

First and foremost, don’t mention your name or any other important details on social media. You can create a persona and use it to promote your social media without putting your name on it.

This means you can use your accounts to find other creators, market yourself to your audience, and even go viral, without ever showing your face or revealing your name. 

Use Geoblockers

Something else that’s best to hide is your location. Avoid showing the outside of your window or anything else that shows exactly where you are.

You can also use geoblockers. These tools allow you to block your content from a certain country or region. So you can keep uploading content, without anyone from your country seeing it. 

Use VPNs

Another option you have is using VPNs, instead of limiting the global locations that can access you, VPNs mask your location.

For example, you can be an Ohio OnlyFans creator who seems like they’re from Germany. This way, you can ensure that you seem like someone from a completely different part of the world. 

So you can promote your OnlyFans account without any worries at all.

Conclusion

When learning how to promote OnlyFans accounts, there are a few super important factors to remember. Social media, guidelines, and your privacy are the big three.

Whether you’re using Reddit and TikTok, relying on Tinder, or just putting up teasers on adult websites, you need to prioritize your privacy. 

So go ahead. Start your Reddit account, make a mashup of your best clips for Brazzers, or just make a Bumble account. Best of luck!
