Plain and simple, you have to know your audience.
Are you talking about subscriptions, PPV, unlocks, services, or tips?
Either way, it all boils down to the same thing. Attract your ideal fan. If you’re getting cheap clients who want to pay $3 for a subscription and get everything else for free, and that bothers you as a creator, then your branding needs to change.
How to know more about your target audience.
Ask yourself:
- When are they online?
- What are their hobbies?
- Where do they work?
- How old are they?
- Where will they find you?
- What do they like about you and your content?
- Are they looking for something specific?
Just answering a few of these gives you the insight to put yourself in the right place at the right time.
Once you find that ideal fan, they’re more likely to spend money than a random who stumbled across your link and got curious.
How to engage your fans on OnlyFans
After you’ve converted a fan, it’s important to recognize their style.
Are they worth your time? Will they spend more money? Do they respect your rules? I wouldn’t waste time on someone who’s asking for discounts or failing to open a PPV message. They get sent to generic mass message hell very quickly lol.
However, when you find a potential spender, it’s time to put in work. Here’s what I do on other platforms:
- Cater to them.
- Learn about them.
- Figure out why they’re interested in you.
- Upsell with video bundles, custom content offers, sexting, etc.
- Give them content that THEY are interested in, not just your latest uploads.
- Send them personalized PPV, like audio or nude/lewd selfies.
- Tell them that you appreciate their support. A simple thank you actually goes a long way.
How to (attempt) converting non-spenders
Some guys just want the subscription feed, and that’s it. It’ll be hard to convert them to anything else.
Using the same rules as engaging your ideal fan could work, but some guys just don’t get it lol. They either don’t feel the need for the personalized experience, or it flies over their head.
But, here are some more ideas I’ve used to convert non-spenders:
- For them, you REALLY have to stand out with something original. Consider them the “infinite scrollers”. Break their mindless scrolling with something that pops out at them.
- Ask them authentic questions about themselves. When you get an answer, try to feel them out and gauge their interests.
- If they’re a never-ending chatter who’s not unlocking your messages, ignore them or tell them you’ll be slow to answer because you’re talking to paying customers.
- Sometimes, you have to start with $1-$2 PPV with them to get them spending. I wouldn’t put too much thought or value into something that cheap, but it’s a good way to engage them.
- I’ve seen some Dommes say that calling them out helps LOL, but that’s not my style.
Maybe consider pricing the low spenders out.
The results of this vary. Personally, I raised my prices on other platforms and got better clients. I’ve heard a handful of other creators say the same. And for many, this doesn’t work.
You could price out the low spenders with a higher subscription fee. However, if your entire following is cheap, you won’t get any new subs until you start targeting the right audience.
