OnlyFans is a content subscription website for creators and their fans. OF is extremely popular among porn stars and webcam girls but a range of authors you can find there is extremely wide. It means that you can get things from food recipes and fitness advice to nudes there. This business model allows creators to receive direct payments from their subscribers (made with subscriptions, tips and pay-per-view feature).
OnlyFans most money pays to authors (80%), about 12% is company's profit and 8% contains various types of merchant and processing fees.
Everything started in 2016 and it wasn't connected with nude content at all. It changed 2 years later when an owner of MyFreeCams became a person of significant control with over 75% ownership of the parent company of OnlyFans. At present the platform is one of the most popular sites among pornography fans and performers. Are you interested in knowing the website from both these sides?

OnlyFans if you want to share things as a performer
How to start earning on Only Fans? It's easy. You must verify your account, add your payment details and set your subscription price. When all of that is completed, you can start sharing posts locking them behind your paywall.
The account may be verified when you are at least 18 years old. OnlyFans asks for personal details and your ID document. It also asks if you plan to post pornographic things.

How much can you earn with OnlyFans being the performer?
There aren’t any limits for creators on OnlyFans. Your profits depend on the number of your subscribers and your content.

And you can try to be the next leader of the platform. People love OnlyFans at present.

Is OnlyFans safe?
OnlyFans cares about the security of its users but you must remember that even with 2-step authentication, you still must share your payment details with third parties. It is advised to have 2-step authentication security option if you want to feel safer and it’s also necessary for some advanced functions:
- changing banking details as creator
- to make the account active after 3 months of its inactivity.
You can use both Google and Microsoft authenticator so make it compatible with your device. Then for sure your account will be protected better.
Is OnlyFans anonymous?
For sure if you want to be creator, you can’t remain anonymous because you must verify yourself with your personal and payment details. But what about subscribers?
Being a subscriber you have more chances to stay anonymous. With a randomly created username and without your real photo in your profile nobody will reveal who you are. Creators won't see any of your details except your user name and that you've subscribed or tipped. So the only info that's public is what you choose to put on your public bio like any social media.
Of course, the website must process your details so your payment data is processed and to make you able to pay. But there is a solution also for that. If you want to make your account more anonymous you can get some kinds of Visa preloaded payment cards (like a credit card, but you load the balance on it first). It'll still have your name on it, but at least it won't show up on your regular bank/credit card statements.
How has OnlyFans changed the world of the porn business?
OnlyFans is the website where porn is more intimate than on other platforms, even when we consider webcam sites. And what’s more, it’s better for Instagram because on OF you can get more. At the very first glance, OnlyFans may seem to be the Patreon of porn, where sex workers and porn stars do their best for money. But customers and stars can get also closer and it gives every side more intimacy. It's important mainly for subscribers who can feel appreciated - and thanks to this they are also willing to pay more.
Webcam platforms are very popular but most actions are made live. OnlyFans offers a model that contains a steady influx of content. It may be connected with other platforms (like Twitter for instance) and thanks to this subscribers can get notifications about all new activities. And they are made not only during live shows. And users can decide in determined cases if they want to pay for specific content or not. For some users it isn’t that enjoying like live performances but there are also people who prefer OF’s model because of many private reasons.
