OnlyFans Basics
Maybe you’ve even posted a few spicy pics or videos. But now you’re staring at that lonely little “0 followers” and thinking… “Where the hell is everyone?”
Don’t worry — every successful creator started exactly where you are. The good news? With the right strategy, you can go from zero to your first 100 loyal fans faster than you think.
In this guide, you’ll learn step-by-step how to get your first followers on OnlyFans — even if you’re just starting out, don’t want to show your face, or have zero social media following. Let’s turn that profile into something people actually subscribe to.
Why Do Followers Matter on OnlyFans?
On platforms like Instagram, you can have 100k followers and still make no money. But on OnlyFans, your follower count is directly tied to your income.
More followers = more potential subscribers, tippers, and loyal fans who keep paying month after month.
Here’s why it’s important to build a follower base:
More eyeballs = more conversions (some will subscribe right away, others need warming up)
Fans love active creators — followers create social proof
A larger audience makes it easier to run promos, upsell content, and go viral on social platforms
But unlike other apps, OnlyFans doesn’t have a public discovery feed or algorithm. Which means…
➡️ If you don’t promote yourself, no one will find you.
Let’s fix that.
Step-by-Step: How to Get Your First 100+ Followers on OnlyFans
Start With a Free Page (Optional But Powerful)
Especially as a beginner, you might want to launch with a free OnlyFans account to attract followers fast. This removes the paywall barrier and gives fans a no-risk way to check you out.
Once they’re in, you can:
Send pay-per-view (PPV) content via DMs
Offer exclusive bundles
Later convert the most loyal fans to a paid VIP page

Promote on the Right Social Media Platforms
Let’s be real: Nobody is finding you on OnlyFans alone.
You’ve got to drive traffic from where people already hang out.
Here’s where to post:
Twitter (X) – #1 for adult and NSFW promotion
Create a separate account for your creator persona
Post daily teasers, spicy content, behind-the-scenes
Use hashtags like #OnlyFans #OFmodel #spicycontent
Follow similar creators, like, comment, and engage!
Instagram (w/ LinkTree)
Build a visually attractive grid
Share your vibe (fitness, fashion, lifestyle)
Add your OnlyFans link to LinkTree in your bio
Use Reels + Stories for engagement (stay SFW)
Reddit – the hidden goldmine 🔥
Find subreddits related to your niche (e.g. r/OnlyFansPromos, r/FitGirls, r/CosplayBabes)
Post spicy teasers (respect rules)
Include a clear CTA like “More on my OF 😉 link in bio”
TikTok – major viral potential
Be clever and stay within community guidelines
Use sounds, trends, and niche humor
Point to your Instagram or LinkTree (“link in bio”)
3. Create a Content Hook (Make Them Want More)
If people don’t know what they’re subscribing to, they won’t follow.
You need a clear hook — a reason to follow you.
Ask yourself:
What vibe or theme do I offer? (e.g. girl-next-door, cosplay queen, spicy fitspo)
What makes me different?
What kind of content will fans consistently get?
Then, reinforce that hook everywhere — in your bios, captions, and DMs.
Example:
“Exclusive cosplay sets every week 🎮 + custom DMs 📬 Only on my OF”
mUse Shoutout-for-Shoutout (S4S) to Tap into Other Creators’ Audiences
Shoutout-for-shoutout (S4S) is when two creators promote each other to their followers.
This is one of the fastest ways to grow on OnlyFans when you’re starting from zero.
Here’s how to do it right:
Find creators in your niche with a similar following
DM them with something like:
“Hey! I love your content — would you be open to doing a shoutout swap this weekend?”
Make sure your content is solid before you reach out
Track results (use promo codes or ask new followers where they found you)
⚠️ Be picky. Don’t S4S with inactive or low-quality pages. Align with creators whose audience matches your ideal follower.

Post Daily (or at Least 3–4x/Week)
Nobody follows ghost town profiles.
When someone checks out your page, they want to see that you’re active.
Start with a schedule like:
3 photos per week
1 short video
1 behind-the-scenes or personal text post
As you grow, increase your frequency or repurpose content across platforms. Consistency builds trust and keeps followers coming back.
Engage With Every Fan (Yes, Every One)
This is where small creators have a huge advantage.
You can talk to every follower, reply to every DM, and make them feel special.
Here’s how to do it:
Send a personal welcome message to new followers
Like + respond to comments on your posts
Send occasional freebies in DMs
Use polls or questions to get content feedback
Fans stick around when they feel like part of a community — not just a wallet.
Run Giveaways and Limited-Time Offers
People love free stuff and urgency.
Try one of these:
“Free trial link for the first 10 people to DM me”
“$5 sub for 24 hours only”
“Tip me $5 and I’ll send you a custom selfie”
Use these on Twitter, Reddit, and even in DMs to convert lurkers into real followers.
Use a Link Hub (Never Just Drop Your OF Link!)
Platforms like Instagram and TikTok sometimes block direct OnlyFans links.
Use a link hub like:
Then post:
“🔥 All my links here: linktr.ee/yourname”
Make sure your link hub looks clean and includes:
OF link
Social media
Wishlist (optional)
CTA or free trial if available
Network in Creator Communities
Join private Telegram groups, Discords, or forums where creators swap tips, do S4S, and share growth hacks. Be active, ask questions, and share value.
