Social media is a permanent part of our lives, where it is monetized in various ways, mainly through advertising and sponsorships. OnlyFans evolved the concept by providing a subscription service, where to view content posted by creators, users on the network must first pay.
Various content creators can be found on the site: artists, models, actors and influencers. They can share exclusive content, such as photos, videos, live streams and messages, with their fans.
Social media has become very popular on the web in recent years with mind-boggling results. Follow this guide to discover all its secrets and strategies to start using it better.

What is OnlyFans?
Let’s start by introducing OnlyFans, it is a social network that anyone can join and which allows you to share personal content, even if it is prohibited for minors under 18, as well as “traditional” content about your daily life, passions and hobbies. The idea is to create a dense group of fans with whom we can exchange messages, photos and videos of any kind, without any censorship of the contents , obviously within the limits of legality.
Now you will wonder where the difference is compared to other social networks such as Facebook or the freer Twitter . As we said, access to the site is free , but if I wanted to follow a particular user, I could do it either for free or by subscribing to a monthly subscription to his private contents , so it is only by paying that you can actually make the most of the potential of this social network.
In fact, you can browse some profiles for free, but to access others you will have to subscribe. Furthermore, to talk to and receive content from your favorite user, it will sometimes be necessary not only to simply subscribe to his profile, as mentioned above, but also a direct payment.
On the other hand, you too can do the same, creating your profile for free and starting to make yourself known on other social networks, to create your own fan base that wants to follow you by subscribing to your account , perhaps after advertising it on the other social networks of the moment ( read our guide on 13 Tips to Grow Organic Tiktok Followers ).
Soon we will explain how to create a free account and how to move around the portal.
You’ve heard of OnlyFans and, intrigued, you registered to view the contents for which this social network has become famous, i.e. those prohibited for minors under 18 years of age. […]

How to upload/send content on OnlyFans
You may be wondering how to publish photos and videos on OnlyFans, precisely because you are interested in starting your own small business or simply because you want to share what you want with your fans. You can do this either by publishing on your page or by sending your content in private chats, in both cases it is very simple.
Here are the two procedures to follow to be able to share and/or send files on OnlyFans:
To share on your own page , directly from the Homepage you can decide whether to write a post, create a survey or add images and videos (this function is only unlocked for content creator accounts).
Once you have uploaded the content, or written the desired post, all you have to do is click on ” Post” , in a short time your content will be online and available to your fans.
After sharing the content you will be able to make three more choices, by clicking on the icon with three horizontal dots at the top right of the post the four items will appear:
- “Copy link to post” (to get a link to share);
- “Add to your profile page” (to highlight the post);
- “Edit post” (for any last minute corrections);
- “Delete post” .
Instead, to share content via private chats you will have to open the chat in question and click on the photo icon found under the “Type a message” section . At this point, all you have to do is upload the multimedia file and send it to the user.
How to add a card/recharge on OnlyFans
As already mentioned, OnlyFans has a dual usability, free and paid , and at this point we will explain how to navigate the functions of the latter mode, in order to understand it better and try to avoid spending money unnecessarily, given the huge amount of content present.

To access the menu relating to cards and payments, click on the circle-shaped icon with a little man inside and select the item ” Your cards” (to subscribe). Here you will see a screen with options: “ Your Cards” , “ Payments” and “ Add funds to your profile” .

Here’s how to add a credit card:
- click on the blue ” Add Card” button at the top right, enter all the data requested and click on the ” Send” button at the bottom;
- once this is done, click on ” Check” , the system will charge you an amount, less than 1.90 dollars, on the current account in question. Check the exact amount charged and communicate this amount to the platform in the section that is shown to you immediately afterwards, this amount will be returned to you immediately.
From this moment on, you can use your current account to add credits to your wallet and use them to sign up for a subscription and unlock posts.
If you don’t want to add a credit card directly , Onlyfans offers an alternative: under the heading ” Add funds to your profile” you will see more options, in more detail, 10, 20, 50 and 100 dollars. These are the top-up cuts that you then decide to credit to your account on Onlyfans.
Once you have decided on the amount you are interested in adding, click on the ” Pay” button again and you will have filled your wallet. You can use this as your default payment method by activating the “ Use wallet as primary method for future charges” option .
