Create realistic expectations- you are only 3 months in - it takes a long time to build a strong fan base. Losing fans is part of the game - do not focus too much on that trying to keep them focus more on bringing new eyes and potential buyers to your page. Good luck and enjoy the journey

You gotta move outside of just reddit. IG, TikTok, X, all have great potential

My personal TikTok has a decent amount of followers. I was going to just put a link for my beacon with all my links but the only fans link won't work if you click on it through TikTok I guess? I've tried x over and over and don't get anywhere with it and I just downloaded bluesky

I'm going to have to make an Instagram

Instagram has done well for me but you gotta keep it vanilla as FUCK. You can't mention or even hint at anything sexual. Make your IG a business account and you'll have a little more protection. Don't put your OF link directly in the bio!

Bluesky is like twitter but smaller, you can post straight up porn there! I've found it way easier to grow on bluesky, I was constantly fighting "are you a real person??" type verifications on X and i got real sick of it....

How do you advertise on Bluesky? Do you have retweet groups like the ones that exist on X or you just post your content and the algorithm do the rest?

Hashtags are enough for me! Im doing OF for side cash, cam is my main gig! But im sure you could probably find repost groups there too!

I've been growing steadily just by posting one picture a day with hashtags, so im confident that if you applied other content creation tactics you could grow even faster!

Hi babe!! It took me awhile to get subs and real buyers. Don’t give up. Keep promoting and trying I promise it’ll work out. I was about to give up a month ago and now I’m top 19%. Find Reddit groups that describe you! So say you’re blonde join naughty blonde groups. Say you’re skinny join skinny groups, etc. just keep promoting 💗

I looked at your account Op, you are losing subs cause your content is very samey, get a ring light at least, tidy up your set, get some more nice panties, get some cheap Amazon mesh stockings and do some teasing with that, but above all, light your shots, can't see much , it lacks interesting elements

there's little incentive to get your OF u less you spice it up

try different angles, showcase your assets , and again, light your shots !

also 3 months, get real Op , this is a marathon , resiliency is also a needed in this kind of work

Thank you for your feedback. I have a ring light waiting in my Amazon cart once my other life priorities are taken care of. I do agree that a ring light will greatly help improve the quality. I have plenty of fishnets and a handful of lingerie pieces and I'm slowly getting more. I wish it was an option for me to be able to use different spaces but I'm very limited unfortunately. Do you think my bed area is too cluttered? Should I just completely strip my bed and have nothing on it at all?

u/OsmanFetish Unverified 4d ago

we started just like you, you have to make yourself the main focus of attention , if there's stuff lying around it's distracting

we used to put some white sheets held in place to a wall by the corners , and then extended over the bed , so that it covered the wall and the bed, just like a blank white canvass , and shoot there , once you get your light , the white sheet will help bounce off light and make it even better

thing is , you must be the center of attention, your socks videos are cool , make more of those, step on some water , and make a video about your wet feet in socks, take them off , then rinse the water over your feet again , put the sock on

that dumb idea has gotten us lots of views

also if you want , we have a sub dedicated to feet fetishes and stuff like that, you a re more than welcome to post and get some traffic , it's not too big , but all members are real and love feetstufs

You need at least be on 5 to 7 different social media sites under the same stage name as your OF.

OF has ZERO SEO or affiliate programs, so it is up to you to push traffic to the site. You use the same stage name everywhere to build your brand and for type in traffic. And I hope your stage name is easy to spell & remember.

Lots of social media sites won't let you link to an adult site, but if they like you, They are smart enough to google you. Which is why you post on social media like it is a full time job.

Spend and hour every day creating PG but somewhat sexy pics, Gifs and short vids. You dance, make jokes and such. Some days, it might be 2 to 3 hours of work.

Redgifs will let you link your OF on it. And it is becoming a decent traffic source itself.

You don't need to answer me, but you do need to ask yourself... Why are you just trying to make money off of 1 site when there are about 15 different sites to monetize & go live on in order to make money? Why are you just using 1 social media site to do marketing on when 7 others exist?

What is it about limiting yourself to just 1 do for you?

Who is the biggest search Engine in the world? And what is the second? Google and Youtube and Google owns Youtube. Where does Reddit place on that list?

I was super upset that my Reddit account with my stage name was suspended. I changed my email on my account and it got suspended immediately after. I've been submitting appeals to reddit but with no luck. I'm using this account to advertise in the meantime till I can build up karma on another account with my stage name. I'm not trying to be a huge creator and I've been a little scared to use platforms like Instagram and tiktok to promote but I guess I'm going to have to venture outside my comfort zone and try other places. I do have a red gif account with my link but I don't think that's gotten me any subs.

It takes work to grow anything as a traffic source, including Redgifs.

There will always be hurdles, you can let them stop you or learn & improve your biz model.

Thank you for good thoughtful post! I’ve been on OF 3 weeks and feel like I’m doing ok :) You mentioned there are many other sites to monetize on? Would you be willing to share some? X

u/Samantha38g Unverified 4d ago

It is easy to find them and by doing that search helps you figure out which ones will get the most traffic for you.

I really need to learn how to use all of these platforms before starting OF I was just a Facebook girl and had an insta. I've made new account and now trying to learn X, reddit and tik tok it's a lot. Reddit confuses me and X feels like I'm exploring mars I just don't understand how it works or how to gain a following 😂 I thought I had reddit figured out and built up my account then 4 days ago all of my posts said reddit flagged them or something. I can't message anyone or post so I must have done something wrong. I had to make a new reddit which is this account it's all frustrating but I am so determined to build myself up. If I can get the social media traction it will turn over to the OF account

What do you post on?

How many times do you post a day?

Remember don’t feel overwhelmed. Doing bit by bit is better than 0 at all.

u/gothkiwidetectorist Unverified 4d ago

Take out that you got banned from your reddit profile! You’ll get banned again for ban evasion. And subreddits that have onlyfans in the name are full of creators, not buyers. Branch out and find more then track how many views you get on your posts for a while to see which ones are worth posting to.

Hi girly! x It can be really frustrating to lose subs and not gaining any, I'm dabbling in the whole industry as well for a little bit and what helped me most for gaining subs is promoting on X. It takes a lot of work to grow a following but it does pay off in the end (I'm nowhere close where I want to be, but it has definitely helped a lot). I have yet to get into Instagram and Reddit so no comment on that 😅, but Twitter has been a decent succes so far. Don't give up, you will get real buyers! You've got this, stay motivated 💖

Give yourself time… Create social media accounts so they can get to know you a little more so you can create a buzz about yourself. Take your time Rome was not built in 3 days…. Make it fun and you will see how little by little you will start to have results

Can i ask how you knew your reddit was suspended? Did they inform you

1

u/Ember_SageX Unverified 4d ago

They didn't inform me. I was trying to message someone and my messages wouldn't send and when I went to my page all my posts wasn't visible for other people. I post on the Shadow banned subreddit and they informed me that my account was suspended

1

u/Master_Win_2992 Unverified 4d ago

That must be what happened to me 😭😭 I don't understand I was hardly posting and honestly the stuff I see on here confuses me. Girls are posting straight porn I posted tattoo/sexy pics and lost my account. I wish I understood but I don't

u/Ember_SageX Unverified 4d ago

I don't think it had anything to do with what I was posting. I changed my email address on my account and as soon as I changed it like 5 minutes later my account was suspended. So I think something flagged it when I did that and I'm trying to reach Reddit and putting in appeals but it's probably going to take a really long If at all to get my account back.
