It's been a few months since it made its appearance, or rather, that its existence was known, a social network suitable for the elderly where people could unleash their “bodies”. We talk about Onlyfans, what is it? How to access it? What can you do?
If you want to know what Onlyfans is and everything you need to know about the most "racy" social network there is (without going to the extreme) here we will talk about it
Onlyfans: what is it
Let's start by defining Onlyfans. Its name in Spanish would be "Solo fans", and it refers to a social network suitable only for adults (because of its sexual content) where the creators, that is, the influencers or those who make a profile, they can share erotic images and videos or those that border on sexuality to the maximum of any type, category, scene, etc.
In this case, Onlyfans does not censor absolutely anything, neither videos nor images. And for that reason they are a claim for many.
But above all Onlyfans drew so much attention to find many celebrities who had risque images and videos as well as the possibility that their fans, by paying a certain amount of money, could access another series of "stronger" or even personalized videos.
Even though the social network is known for sexual content, the truth is that we can also find other types of content in it such as fitness influencers, chefs, etc.
Onlyfans has been active since 2016, but not much was known about her and most didn't know her until the topic of celebrities came up. According to the data provided by the founder and CEO, Tim Stokely, in 2020 the network already had more than 30 million registered users and they were going up due to the news that came out.
How onlyfans works
Let's delve a little deeper into this social network. For it, You should know that there are two types of users. On one side are the creators, that is, people who have an account, are over 18 years of age and also upload content to the network. On the other hand they would be the fans, that is, those who follow the different accounts of the creators.
These (the fans) they can create their account for free and follow the people they want. But not always, since some accounts may ask for a series of subscriptions or even pay a monthly fee.
For their part, content creators, to have their account, yes they must pay month to month (or year to year), although later they make it profitable by making their fans subscribe. Therefore, they can publish content and even offer other types of premium images or videos to fans who pay the fee (or want a personalized service).
Steps to create an account in Onlyfans
If you want to take the step and create your Onlyfans account, the first thing you will have to do is download the application and create a free account. Then, you have to verify, but it's not the same as what you know (you get an email with a link that you have to click), you'll have to take a selfie for the app to confirm your identity.
The next step, if you are a content creator, is set monthly fee for fan subscriptions. And it will only remain to upload content.
In case you want to be a fan, all you have to do once you create your account is use the search engine to find the accounts that you want to follow and subscribe to them (paying) to access the photos and videos.
Your account as a creator
As a content creator you can create four types: photos, videos, audio and text.
In addition, you would have five content tabs: one for all posts, one for photos, one for video, the next for audio and the fifth for those posts that you remove from the main wall, that is, the archived ones.
Apart from these publications, you can also create some previous payment. In other words, a publication that, to unlock it, you have to pay a fixed fee.
Your account as a fan
If you enter Onlyfans as a fan, you know, from what we have told you, that you will have to pay to subscribe to the creators and be able to access their content. However, you can also pay for a photo gallery, for videos, audios, etc.
When you stop paying for that creator's subscription, you can no longer access the account, that is, even if you have paid to see previous publications, these will not be displayed. However, the same does not happen with the separate publications; You can have these even when you stop paying the subscription (because the network understands that you have paid separately for this and that it belongs to you).
How much money is earned on Onlyfans
We know that the sexual theme is one of the ones that sells the most, and therefore it is normal that you consider that it can be a good way of income. But it is not as easy as it seems (especially if you do not have a good body or are well known).
As a creator, you would earn money through three ways:
- Subscription fee: what they must pay to subscribe to your channel. These are usually between $4.99 minimum and $49,99 maximum.
- Payment messages: the possibility that fans write to you or even ask you for personalized things. Some of those messages could cost up to $100.
- Propinas: money as donations that they offer you because they want to thank you for the content. The most you can tip is $200.
Of all those ways of money, creators receive 80% while the platform keeps 20% at the rate of referrals, support, hosting, processing payments…
According to the platform itself, You can earn just over $7000 a month, but in the case of celebrities there are some who have broken records. Such is the case of Bella Thorne, who in just one week on the social network earned more than two million dollars (1 of them in 24 hours).
Now that you know what Onlyfans is, would you dare to create a creator account or a fan account? What do you think of this social network?
