How Only Fans works
Generally speaking, when it comes to OnlyFans one immediately thinks of adult content, but that's not all. There are, in fact, many profiles of sportsmen, artists, musicians and so on, who use the platform by selling content dedicated to their profession or perhaps to a passion for which they are known.
Another difference compared to other popular social networks is that OnlyFans is accessible only via browser, even from mobile. At the moment, in fact, there is no official app that allows you to always have OnlyFans at hand on your smartphone or tablet.
By joining this platform, you can look at other users' profiles, subscribe to their paid content, or you can post photos yourself, or also video o music and start earning from what you publish. Obviously it is important that the published content, while being uncensored, does not violate the terms of service of the platform and the limits of common sense.
Basically you cannot post discriminatory, offensive, defamatory or hateful content. Furthermore, all the content you post must be within the legal limits of your country and in any case must not refer to minors under the age of 18, must not incite violence and so on. More info here.
Once these measures have been respected, you can instead make all the other content available with the payment of a subscription or by selling specific photos and videos requested by your followers via private chat. Sometimes fans will make specific requests about the content you should develop and then sell to them, but those requests must still be acceptable to you.
On average, subscriptions cost between 4,99 € and 49,99 per month but they can also be paid annually, thus obtaining one discount on the package. In addition to the monthly and annual payment, you can also set the payments on a quarterly basis, or ask for extra amounts for specific content even after a fan has subscribed.
Transactions all happen from within the platform OnlyFans, which keeps 20% of the turnover for itself. You cannot avoid paying this percentage because processing the transactions outside OnlyFans would make the procedure illegal. It is necessary connect your bank account (the holder must be the same as the account) to receive payments.
