Hello, community! OnlyFans is becoming increasingly popular, so much so that even governments are considering the decriminalization of activities related to models. It’s quite surprising that in a modern country, photographing oneself and sharing it on specialized platforms is still restricted. But that’s a topic for another time.
OnlyFans is a highly profitable niche—not just for models or agencies but also for affiliates who drive traffic to it. Today, we’ll delve into OnlyFans as a vertical: how it works, the best traffic sources to use, and the nuances affiliates should expect if they decide to choose this niche.
Before we begin, let’s recall that we’ve already discussed what the Adult vertical is and its unique features. Make sure to check it out!
How Do OnlyFans Offers Work?
If you decide to earn with OnlyFans, you’ll most likely work with individual models or agencies managing a list of models. The goal is straightforward: drive traffic that subscribes to a model’s account. The model earns a profit, and you, in turn, receive a reward.
This means that quality traffic is a must. For instance, you could drive a thousand unique visitors from India via push traffic, but none of them might pay the $20 subscription fee to view adult content. Consequently, they wouldn’t become fans, and advertisers won’t pay for such traffic.
Therefore, before launching a campaign, it’s crucial to analyze what kind of traffic you’ll purchase and which monetization model best suits your funnel. Let’s discuss this further.
Ideal Traffic Sources for OnlyFans
There are traffic sources for OnlyFans that are almost canonical: they’ve been used by affiliates for a long time and consistently show high efficiency. We’ve already covered some of these sources in previous reviews.
We’ve already written about how to get free traffic from Reddit. This platform is actively used for promoting OnlyFans offers. But why Reddit?
This social network not only allows adult content but also significantly boosts the visibility of such posts. You can use any creative format—photos, videos, or gifs, with gifs often performing best.
However, competition is high. This means users are harder to impress with basic adult content. Affiliates need to stay on top of trends and find creatives that convert well, such as cosplay themed around upcoming games or TV shows.
The Reddit audience includes many IT professionals and gamers—typically people with disposable income. After all, not everyone can afford to spend $70 on new games, making this a lucrative source of quality traffic.
There are proven strategies for using Twitter that many affiliates rely on. The concept is as follows:
- Create a well-designed account and purchase verification to make it look official.
- Add model photos and teaser posts linking to their OnlyFans.
- Actively comment on popular posts, especially teaser posts with adult hints.
Such posts are often shared by large communities to attract traffic and views, which you can leverage for your purposes.
Explicit content on Twitter (now X) is not prohibited. The traffic is of high quality, making it a viable source for driving OnlyFans subscriptions.
TikTok
TikTok, being a Chinese platform, restricts explicit content, including pornography or erotica. However, it remains a significant source of relevant traffic.
This method is more suitable for models who can create consistent teaser content that appears in recommendations and user feeds. Affiliates might need close collaboration with models or employ creative tricks like using deepfakes.
It’s also easy to track trends and find popular audio tracks, giving you ample opportunities to capture traffic.
Popunders
Well-optimized campaigns using popunders can also deliver high profits. This method requires minimal manual effort, and traffic costs are affordable.
However, the risk of driving low-quality traffic is significant. If advertisers strongly oppose this, it’s better to skip this source.
Similarly, META ads, especially Facebook targeting, rarely convert effectively for OnlyFans traffic.
Payment Models in OnlyFans Offers
In OnlyFans offers, affiliates encourage traffic to pay for adult content, which is often available in free sources. Therefore, ensuring traffic quality is vital to achieve conversions.
Once this aspect is addressed, it’s time to choose a monetization model.
Affiliate Programs
Driving traffic through affiliate programs is an excellent option, especially for beginners or those lacking communication skills (you’ll see why later).
Today, there are two main categories of affiliate programs for OnlyFans: closed and open. The former is generally for experienced affiliates, while anyone can join the latter.
Any OnlyFans affiliate program operates like a standard CPA network, where models act as offers. You choose whom to promote, get a tracking link, and earn commissions for target actions.
Payments typically follow a RevShare model. The percentage depends on the model’s popularity: new models may offer up to 30% of their earnings, while established ones pay less.
The benefit of affiliate programs lies in the wealth of information provided to help you select the best model for promotion. Apart from creatives, you also receive performance stats. Promoting top models may not be worthwhile due to lower conversion potential (fans might already be subscribed or find leaked content for free).
Direct Traffic Agreements
This involves negotiating directly with models or agencies about the amount and cost of traffic you can drive to their page. Rates vary based on traffic quality, with affiliates often earning about $1 per conversion.
Conversions are credited when users not only click the link but also subscribe to the model, which is a paid action.
The advantage here is the potential for a consistent monthly income by managing traffic for multiple models simultaneously. However, there’s a risk—models or agencies might not pay. Still, providing quality traffic can lead to long-term partnerships.
Account Management
This job leans more toward SMM management than affiliate marketing. However, it’s worth exploring if you’re looking for opportunities to earn. What does account management entail?
The model creates content, while everything else falls on your shoulders. Agencies managing accounts typically earn significantly more than the model, who often keeps only about 25% of the revenue.
Establishing trust is crucial, as “new” models might suspect scams and ignore offers, even lucrative ones.
If you succeed, managing accounts can be highly profitable. It requires handling not just the OnlyFans page but also external accounts on platforms like Twitter or Reddit to drive traffic directly to the offer.
Conclusion
OnlyFans is a young but highly promising vertical that’s both exciting and profitable to work in. Why discuss it now? With Ukrainian OnlyFans models reporting outstanding results (e.g., nearly $1.5 million in taxes paid by the platform in 2023), this niche holds potential even in the local market.
If you’re looking for a new vertical to explore, consider OnlyFans offers. Have you worked in this niche, or are you a fan of a specific model? Share your experiences in our Telegram community, and let’s grow affiliate marketing together!
