The creators of OnlyFans planned a platform for creative people: musicians, designers, photographers, artists, animators - those who would like to monetize their creativity. Reality quickly showed what kind of “creativity” the public most desires.
Now OnlyFans is associated with nudes - racy photos in different styles that one person sends to another. Among young people, such photos are in demand among lovers. For content creators, this is a business and a way to earn money.
Earnings in Russia and Belarus
Currently, citizens of Russia and Belarus cannot create an author page on OnlyFans. You can get around this restriction only by obtaining a residence permit or citizenship of another country. Account owners from Russia and Belarus were blocked from accessing the platform and their accounts.

Content monetization
Content monetization is possible through: subscriptions, PPV, tips, customs, as well as sexting and streams. Let's look at each of the directions in more detail.
Subscriptions
The model can maintain 2 accounts at the same time: paid and free. Free - to warm up the audience. Paid - basic, by subscription. Until the client pays, he will not see photos and videos.
Minimum subscription price is $4.99 per month. Of this amount, the platform takes 20% as commission, the remaining 80% is received by the account owner. As part of a paid account, you can sign up for a trial subscription or a discounted subscription.
On a free account, monetization occurs through Pay-Per-View - individual paid posts. Content can be published on your page or offered directly in private messages. This feature is not available on the paid subscription page. You can change your subscription type at any time.
Pay-Per-View
The PPV (Pay-Per-View) function stands for "Pay First, Watch Later." Until the fan pays, he will not receive anything. The minimum cost is usually $3, but the author can increase the price at his discretion. As statistics show, income is not limited, and many experienced models make money through PPV.
A message with enticing content is sent to the chat. There is a price for viewing the full version. This transaction is safe and convenient for the model. Statistics on this type of earnings are recorded in the Messages column.
Tips
The practice of tipping has spilled over from real life to virtual life. Fans can send money as a thank you for a post or simply “for beautiful eyes.” This is an effective tool that you need to know how to use.
Custom content
Customs (from the English “custom content” - content to order) - photos and videos that were not planned by the model, but were made at the request of fans. The price for a custom minute starts from $15-$20. Content is sent via PM after payment.
Sexting
Another very successful way to get money is by exchanging sexually explicit content on the platform or, more simply put, typical virtual sex by correspondence.
Uninhibited models with a well-developed imagination play out real thematic scenes with fans. Even such a profession has appeared - sexter. This may not be the model itself, but a specially hired person who, on behalf of the account owner, corresponds with the interested party.
Streams
This type of activity allows the model to communicate with fans and motivate them to invest even more money into the account. During streams, fans can send tips.
On the account page there is a separate button “Publish a new post”, which also allows you to go live. The model may limit access to certain audiences.
The stream can be made free, paid, or you can set a goal to collect a certain amount of tips. The model can invite guests, for example, other models.
Referral links
The platform allows you to earn money using referral links. Terms: 5% of another user's earnings during the first year. The affiliate program limits the maximum amount of earnings per model to $50,000.
A referral link can be placed on any social network or on a personal website. But there are several prerequisites:
- the model must register using the link, otherwise the invited client will not be counted;
- only those who have not previously registered are allowed to register;
- account confirmation required;
- you can withdraw funds from your balance not immediately, but 7 days after the application.
