HOW TO START AN ONLYFANS WITHOUT FOLLOWERS – HAVE A NICHE

What is a niche?

It’s your content style, audience, branding, and online persona.

Every aspect of your content:

your clothes
the props you use
the way you talk
the way you type
how playful you act

… all should reflect your chosen niche.

Some of the more popular OnlyFans niches are:

Bratty
Pornstar
Innocent at home
Kawaii
Anime/Cosplay
Findom
MILF
Athletic
Yogi
Fitness Babe
College Sl*t
Dominatrix
Stoner
Squirter

It’s a good idea to look at successful creators to see how they brand, and how they show their online personality in their content.

Study everything from their poses to the captions of their posts – there is always something to learn.

You should also check out where and what they post, for example – on Reddit, Insta, etc.

If you’re in the Kawaii/Cute/Cosplay niche here are some content creators worth checking out

NSFW LINKS:

It’s a good idea to link your stage name to your niche too.

For example “lilykawaii” literally has her niche name – “kawaii” – in her username.

That’s a good idea.

We describe 8 different niches

AND give examples of 5+ successful content creators in each niche

CREATE A MINIMUM OF CONTENT

Note: This is our recommended beginner content strategy for how to start an OnlyFans without any followers. It is NOT the only strategy to make money on OnlyFans when starting with 0 followers – but we’ve had great success using it in our agency.

In order to make $1,000 on OnlyFans as fast as possible this is our recommended 3 step strategy.

Make your OnlyFans page free or offer a 30-day free trial
(or have a low sub price like $4-5)
Focus on Reddit promotion (it’s the best platform when starting with 0 followers)
Sell PPV (Pay Per View Content) on OnlyFans in the DMs

What’s the logic behind this set-up

The idea is that most of your income will be generated by selling PPV (Pay Per View) and custom (e.g. a custom video of you doing X) content on OnlyFans.

That’s why you need a free page, a 30-day free trial, or at least a low price.

Because you want the opportunity to sell to as many people as possible.

You need people on your OnlyFans page so you can actually DM them with enticing offers & captions.

Here’s what you need to get done

You need:

a list of subreddits to promote to (keep reading…)
20-30 teaser style pics for promotional purposes
A content menu of stuff to sell on OnlyFans (customs and PPV)
(optional) 3-5 gifs / short videos for promotional purposes

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY

3-5 pre-recorded videos that you can sell in DMs

MAKE ONLYFANS ACCOUNT (FREE/LOW SUB PRICE)

START PROMOTING ON REDDIT

Reddit is THE best platform for creators starting with 0 followers.

Why Reddit for new creators?

Reddit is the best platform when starting an OnlyFans without followers because Reddit doesn’t really care about, or have any concept of how many “followers” you have.

If you make good content and post it to the right subreddits you will get clicks and views.

It doesn’t make any difference how many followers you have.

Good content gets upvoted to the top, and get’s clicks.

Compare this to Instagram people actually look at your follower number.

Likes count and people actually care about these on Insta.

Social proof is a big part of Instagram and other social media, and getting likes early from existing followers is a big part of going viral too.

Reddit levels the playing field for creators without followers.

0 followers and 1 million follower accounts are no different.

Equal opportunity unequal results.

What is Reddit and how do you get started?

So we’ve convinced you that Reddit is the best platform if you want to start an OnlyFans without followers.

But how do you get started on Reddit?

It’s so weird.

If you’ve never used Reddit before watch this 2-minute video and you’ll understand it much better.

Watch this 2 minute video

There are only three terms you need to understand to “get” Reddit for OnlyFans.

SUBREDDIT

Reddit is made up of many small communities called subreddits.

Subreddits are usually referred to like this: “r/nameOfSubreddit”

So www.reddit.com/r/gonewild

would be called r/gonewild.

Spoken or typed like this

“Hey, do you post to r/gonewild?”

Or more simply

“Hey, do you post on gonewild?”

UPVOTE & DOWNVOTE

Reddit works on a voting system in which users can either vote up or down

on posts and comments.

Content with a larger sum of upvotes minus downvotes will show up higher on the page.

Votes are submitted with the grey arrows to the left of the post.

Between the arrows is a number, which is the sum of upvotes minus downvotes.

Karma

Karma is the sum of upvotes minus downvotes.

There are two kinds of karma: comment karma and link karma.

Comment karma is gained from users upvoting and downvoting comments

And link karma is gained when users vote on link posts.

Posts that are text-only (called “Self-posts”) receive no karma.

HOW DO YOU PROMOTE ONLYFANS ON REDDIT?

Now that you understand the basics of Reddit and what a subreddit is.

You probably now see that the key to getting views and clicks on Reddit will be posting your content to the correct subreddits.

If you’re a BBW content creators you’re going to need to find subreddits related to BBW content – communities of people who are interested in what you offer.

If you’re in the MILF niche then you need to find MILF/mature related subreddits and so on.

Your next question should be:

How do I find the best subreddits for my niche?

The short answer is this.

REDDIT GUIDE

START A TIKTOK

After Reddit TikTok is the second-best platform when starting an OnlyFans with zero followers.

Pretty much for the same reasons as Reddit – social proof is just not that important on TikTok.

(Although followers are definitely more important on TikTok than Reddit, they’re less important than on Instagram, Twitter, etc.)

Going viral is the key on TikTok – and that’s all about understanding and manipulating the algorithm.

WARNING

Never link your OnlyFans on TikTok.

If you put your OnlyFans link on TikTok (or even mention “OnlyFans”) you will get banned.

The safe way to move TikTok followers to OnlyFans:

Put your Instagram link/name in TikTok bio…
On Instagram have your linktree/allmylinks…
On linktree/allmylinks, have your OnlyFans link…
Boom! OnlyFans.

So how do you get followers on TikTok?

Post consistently
Use viral sounds and make suggestive type videos using them
Go live! Live can get loads of views on TikTok
Try not to get banned (don’t post any nudity or anything too sexy)
Mentally frame your TikTok as: You’re a normal entertainer on the sexy side but you just happen to have an OnlyFans
If you’re using a sexy sound – dress super modestly
If you wanna dress a little more revealing don’t be too close to the camera, move a bit away and don’t use an obviously sexual sound
Show either cleavage or legs – not both. Posting both or too much skin is a big risk of being banned
Do not show underwear
If you get banned – start again! It’s the nature of the game!
Copy TikTok trends
Copy popular creators
Copy popular creators in your niche
Try to put your own unique twist when you copy content
Filter comments! Then you won’t even see the mean stuff
Google “tiktok post times” and you’ll be given a chart of the best times to post – convert to your local time zone
Go to “creator tools” in Settings and enable analytics
Reply to comments with a short and sweet “thank you” style message

FOLLOW NEW ONLYFANS USERS

This is something you can do today to get more OnlyFans followers and it does not require you to have or use any social media.

This method has its roots in the Instagram “Follow Unfollow” strategy.

What is that?

It’s a way to increase your follower count on Instagram.

Here’s how it works:

An account follows you on Instagram.
You are happy, flattered even, so you follow them back because you’re a nice person.
They unfollow you a few days or a week or so later.
They hope you won’t notice they have unfollowed you.
They have increased their followers count.

That’s it.

The key thing is that this actually works…

Even today when so many people now know about it.

But guess where people DON’T know about it?

OnlyFans.

Think about this…

If you were able to follow and message people who signed up to OnlyFans just hours ago…

Would they be more likely to subscribe to some random creator, or you — the human who followed and reached out to them first?

Here’s a cool stat for OnlyFans follows:

10-20% of people you follow usually subscribe back to you.

And something you might not know:

You can mass-message all the people you follow.

So here’s how you’d apply this strategy to OnlyFans:

Follow a bunch of new OnlyFans users
10-20% of them will subscribe to your profile
Mass DM them
You can now sell them PPV content

Now FINDING and following a bunch of new OnlyFans users is very difficult and time-consuming to do manually.

BUT.

There is a great app that will do all the heavy lifting for you automatically.

Literally with the click of 1 button.

It’s called ofautofollower.

It will safely and automatically follow new OnlyFans users for you at the click of a button.

Here’s the thing though.

Ofautofollower actually has another awesome feature too.

It will also automatically Follow your Expired Fans too.

Remember how the “Follow Unfollow Method” works?

So your expired fans will be reminded of you and have a chance to re-sub.

AND.

You can mass DM them too now because you follow them…

Smart right?

So the main things ofautofollower do for you:

Get you new subs by auto-following new onlyfans users
Increase rebill rates by auto-following your expired subs

Creators usually make 50-100% more money from using ofautofollower.

ofautofollower is onlyfans.guide approved and I know lots of creators using it happily.

Why do we recommend ofautofollower specifically?

Because it’s:

100% safe & battle-tested
Comes with 24/7 support if you have any questions or issues

The owner has even agreed to give 35% off the subscription price for OnlyFans.guide readers.

Also, there is a free trial.

AND you can cancel at any time.

CONCLUSION

Let’s review exactly how to start an OnlyFans without followers…

Firstly – just need to be willing to put in the work and have reasonable expectations and you can expect gradual consistent growth.

Next, Reddit is the best platform when you’re starting with zero followers.

And after Reddit, TikTok is the next best.

We also outlined our content & sales strategy (used successfully for more than a year) for growing brand new accounts to $1k/month as fast as possible and starting with no followers.
