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:
- https://linktr.ee/lilykawaii
- https://www.reddit.com/user/pirickili
- https://www.reddit.com/user/ErinAshford
- https://www.reddit.com/user/love_lilahh
- https://www.reddit.com/user/littlmisfit
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

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.
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.
Here are the 4 best resources for finding niche subreddits

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
Use paid ads
There are onlyfans “search engine” websites out there.
Think Google – but for OnlyFans.
These search engines have thousands of real guys searching for creators to sub to.
