Hey there fellow OnlyFans newbies, let’s talk about some common mistakes that can easily be made when starting out on the platform. Whether you’re a pro or just starting out, it’s important to be aware of these blunders to ensure you don’t fall into the same trap.
1. Consistency
First things first, consistency is key. You need to be creating content regularly for your subscribers to see. If you’re not keeping a consistent schedule, your subscribers will lose interest and drop off. And let’s be real, fewer subscribers means less money. So make sure you’re posting on a regular basis and letting your followers know when to expect new content.
2. Encourage Tips
Next up, don’t be afraid to suggest tips. Sure, you can make money from subscriptions, but don’t underestimate the power of tips. Encourage your followers to tip you every time you post new content or go live. But don’t just constantly beg for them, you have to earn them by engaging with your fans.
3. Optimise Your Tip Menu
Another tip is to “hack” the tip menu. OnlyFans doesn’t have a feature to sell products directly, but you can get around that by using the tip menu. For example, you can suggest a $5 tip for Product A, $10 for Product B, and so on. This will prevent confusion and ensure your followers get the right product.
4. Promotion
Promotion is also crucial if you want to grow your OnlyFans. The platform isn’t going to randomly send traffic to your page, so you need to put in the work to promote your content. Utilize social media platforms like Instagram, Twitter, and Reddit, but make sure you’re not spamming your followers and be mindful of what’s allowed in terms of adult content on different platforms.
5. Not engaging with your fans
One of the most important things you can do on OnlyFans is to engage with your fans. Respond to comments, messages and DMs. This will help you build a stronger relationship with your followers and make them more likely to stay subscribed and tip you.
6. Ignoring analytics
You can’t improve what you don’t measure. OnlyFans provides you with analytics on your account and content, make sure you take advantage of this feature. It will give you insights on the type of content your followers are most interested in, the time of day when you get the most views and other valuable information that can help you improve your content and grow your account.
7. Not diversifying your content
Don’t just stick to one type of content, diversify! Experiment with different types of content, such as videos, photos, live streams, etc. This will keep things fresh for your followers and give them a reason to stick around.
8. Not being genuine Be yourself!
OnlyFans is all about authenticity and building real connections with your followers. Don’t try to be someone you’re not, it will only turn off your followers.
9. Not keeping your OnlyFans separate from your personal life
This is particularly important if you’re using a pseudonym. Keep your OnlyFans account separate from your personal life and make sure you have boundaries in place to protect your privacy.
10. Not using hashtags
Make use of hashtags to increase your visibility on the platform. Use relevant and popular hashtags that will help your followers find your content.
11. Not being open to feedback
Be open to feedback from your followers, it can help you improve your content and grow your account. Take criticism constructively and use it to make your content better.
12. Not being patient
Growing an OnlyFans account takes time, don’t expect overnight success. Be patient, keep creating content and engage with your followers, and success will come.
13. Not being mindful of copyright laws
Make sure you have the rights to use any music, images, or videos you post on OnlyFans. Copyright infringement can lead to legal issues and can even get your account banned.
14. Not reading OnlyFans’ terms of service
Make sure you’re familiar with OnlyFans’ terms of service, they can change and it’s important to stay up to date with them to avoid getting your account banned.
In conclusion, while OnlyFans can be a great way to make money, it’s not without its pitfalls. By avoiding these common mistakes, you’ll be well on your way to success on the platform. Remember to be consistent, suggest tips, hack the tip menu, and promote your page effectively. Engage with your fans, make use of analytics, diversify your content, be genuine, keep your OnlyFans separate from your personal life, use hashtags, be open to feedback, be patient, be mindful of copyright laws and always read the terms of service.
