How to Start an OnlyFans Without Followers?

The most popular OnlyFans accounts come with hundreds of thousands or millions of followers. They make big bucks daily.

Content creators who have just started have a dream of achieving that number of followers. But it must be said that achieving this is quite a challenge.

Some would even call it borderline impossible, and it is clear why.

With countless content creators out there, the requirements for standing out from the crowd are quite high.

But you have to start somewhere, don’t you?

Let’s talk about how to start an OnlyFans account from scratch, without having any followers.

BTW: Are you aware that you can make millions on this platform without ever even showing your face? You just need to be persistent and to believe in your success!

What is the Right Way to Start?

Before you even start, you must keep in mind that building an OnlyFans following requires time and effort.

Besides that, it is important to conduct different marketing methods. When you adopt that kind of thinking, you can start building the following.

Here are the steps for you to conduct this process and reap benefits in the future:

Step #1: Starter Kit

There is one rule every OnlyFans content creator agrees with: quality content is the most important.

Let’s face it, nobody will subscribe to your account if your content is below average. With average quality, your chances become somewhat better, but it’s still not enough.

For you to create high-quality content, you need to have a top-notch camera. It doesn’t matter whether you opt for an iPhone with a great camera or any other device that offers the same quality.

The next device you should look for is a tripod that will keep your device firmly. Plus, obtaining a ring light for ample lighting is another great idea.

If you want your account to look professional, there is no way around this.

Step #2: Choose a Niche

After you through the technical stuff, like gear, the next step is to choose your niche. After selecting the niche, it becomes much easier to focus on the target audience.

Your target audience is the users looking for the type of content you create.

Keep in mind that niche is not something set in stone. It is a flexible concept you can adjust to make it more attractive.

Niche is an important factor in making your account stand out from the crowd, which is something we’ve discussed earlier.

It is a way for you to know exactly whom you are addressing, making the promotion much easier in the future.

You should perceive it as one of the cornerstones of a successful account you want to build.

Step #3: Various Content Types

One of the biggest misconceptions among OnlyFans creators is that sticking to just one type of content leads to success. That cannot be farther from the truth.

It provides that false sense of consistency, which is, in reality, laziness.

That is why Onlyfans content creators shouldn’t refrain from creating different types of content. For instance, the following types of content can be done in several niches, but can provide that extra touch your content might lack:

While this might look like going outside your particular niche, this doesn’t have to be the case. If this is the case, you can always add a little twist to make it similar to your standard content.

Step #4: Free and Paid Accounts

If you read OnlyFan’s terms and conditions you will see that the platform allows its users to create two accounts at once.

Sure, the following you have on two different accounts will be calculated separately. But, it offers you the option to be active in two niches.

Not to mention that you always can convert a free account to a paid one, and vice versa.

Why is this important? Well, it is quite simple, building a following is much easier on a free account.

After you amass high numbers of followers, you can convert to a paid account.

What you should remember is that OnlyFans takes 20% of earnings as a mediator.

Step #5: Social Media Promotion

Social media platforms are the place to be when it comes to promoting your OnlyFans account, no doubt about that.

Just think about it, the pool of potential followers on these platforms comes in millions of people. Sure, this doesn’t mean the creator will have millions of followers (at least in the beginning) but it offers a possibility to reach millions.

Getting only 1% percent of that is a huge thing for a creator.

Even though some platforms might have some limitations regarding the “sensitive content”, they are still considered great channels for promotion.

If you are not confident enough that DIY marketing can produce results, you can always hire agencies who can do that for you.

However, be careful and choose only those who can provide the best possible results.

Step #6: Sell PPV Content

All the reports on OnlyFans tell us that the majority of income comes from Pay-per-view or PPV. Therefore, striving to create content perfect for this kind of distribution will take you a long way.

PPV is recorded content that is accessible to the subscribers. They will pay to see the content you have produced.

There is one little twist you can do to make it a bit interesting, called customized videos.

Customized videos are those where subscribers are asking the content creator to do something for extra buck.

Combining these two elements can help you both to amass a larger following and earn more in the long run.

Step #7: Scheduling Content

The final step we want to touch upon will ensure consistency and persistence. We are talking about creating a plan and scheduling content.

Think hard about what kind of content you want to produce and a realistic timeframe that will make producing such content possible.

It is important to know that the schedule should be done according to your plans. At the same time, this is not something that should be set in stone.

You can modify those plans on the go. However, keeping a similar timeframe, and posting some additional content as a treat can lead to a boost in viewership.

Be careful about the tighter schedule because there is a possibility it’ll ruin your content down the road. That is why it is important to be realistic.

Step #8: Networking with Other Creators

Networking is one of the strategies that works perfectly on social media platforms. Nobody should be surprised that the same goes for OnlyFans.

What does it mean? It basically means following other creators in this case.

Why would you do that? The reason is quite simple; reaching out to other creators opens the possibility for collaboration in the future.

Not only that, it is possible that someone might notice your account after the collaboration with an account that particular person enjoys watching.

Networking, and collaborating as a result, is almost a guarantee of a fresh intake of followers if conducted the right way that is.

Summary

Now that we went through all the major steps OnlyFans content creator needs to go through at the beginning, you are equipped.

Starting from scratch, even though it isn’t easy, doesn’t have to be a nightmare.

You can have fun and still grow in the future.
