The worst thing about OnlyFans, by far, is it’s lack of discoverability features.

Unlike most platforms, OnlyFans doesn’t enable users to browse profiles.

Driving traffic is entirely on us.

It doesn’t exactly help that the majority of social media sites are strictly against sex work.

If Instagram and TikTok suspect you’re selling spicy services, you’ll be banned.

That’s where NSFW platforms such as Reddit and Twitter come in.

I strongly suggest using a combination of Reddit and Twitter so it’d be worth opening The Ultimate Guide To Reddit For OnlyFans Creators in a new tab if you’re yet to read it.

You can also grab a free PDF version of the Reddit guide, which I’ve linked below.

Once your Reddit is up and running, you can take to Twitter.

I wouldn’t recommend the reverse order as Reddit is where you’ll attract your audience.

Twitter is where you’re able to accelerate your reach. 

Here’s how to get started if/when you’re ready.

Hope this helps!

How To Optimise Your Twitter Profile For OnlyFans Promotions

Create a captivating cover image
Use Canva (a free graphic design tool) to create a collage of your best safe for work selfies or shoot something that’ll work horizontally.

You can’t include anything NSFW in your cover because it can’t be blurred.

Upload a profile photo
It would be worth keeping your profile picture consistent across all platforms so you’re easily identifiable. Again, this must be safe for work.

Keep your bio brief
Avoid waffling on about yourself in your bio. Most users aren’t going to read a chunky paragraph containing your life story.

Instead, use your bio for something fun and flirty.

Add your OnlyFans link
Unlike Instagram and TikTok, Twitter allows OnlyFans links in bios. You won’t need to conceal your link in a link tree so don’t bother beating around the bush.

Think twice about sharing your location
It wouldn’t be wise to include your location for safety purposes. You can always say you’re from heaven, hell or next door. Be creative.

Pin a post to your profile
You’re able to pin one post to your profile so choose wisely! You could promote a sale or simply share your best free content.

Change your username
Your username doesn’t need to be the same as your handle (@yourusername) so you can change it to include keywords relating to your content, fetishes, or features.

Mark content as sensitive
One setting worth changing before proceeding is the sensitive material setting. Otherwise, you’ll be flagged and possibly permanently banned. I can’t stress this step enough.

How to gain Twitter followers BEFORE you even post

Link your Twitter in your Reddit bio
Encourage your Reddit followers to join you on Twitter with a link in your bio. You can also pin a link to your profile, leading directly to Twitter. This is the easiest way to gain your first Twitter followers.

Connect your Twitter to your OnlyFans
Be sure to connect your Twitter account to your OnlyFans. If someone lands on your profile who doesn’t subscribe, they might still follow your Twitter and covert to a paying subscriber later down the line.

Follow your followers back
Give it a go and check on your analytics in a couple of weeks. I bet you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how much this helps your visibility. I know I was.

Follow your competitor’s followers
Make no mistake, OnlyFans is not a competition. There is room for everyone to succeed.

By competitors, I simply mean the other creators in your niche. If you share features with another creator, there’s a pretty good chance their followers will also enjoy your content.

Follow active users
Check out who’s liking popular posts and give them a follow.

Don’t mass follow, or follow and unfollow or you’ll be flagged for spam.

Don’t bother buying bots, either.

How to promote your OnlyFans on Twitter

Share censored teasers
Give Twitter a glimpse of what you share on your OnlyFans, without showing too much.

Add your link in the comments
Be the first person to comment on your post with your OnlyFans link.

Post consistently
For optimal results, post at least one Twitter post per day.

Retweet your own posts
Maybe they missed your post when you first published it. Retweeting it will give it a boost.

Nurture your free followers
Replying to comments will not only encourage engagement, you’ll be boosted by the algorithm and appear in more user’s feeds.

Follow fellow sex workers
Don’t be a bother by engaging to self serve, but form genuine connections. The creator community isn’t as toxic as you may imagine, though there are some mean girls here and there.

Join engagement groups
Once you’ve established a presence in the sex work community, you’re likely to be invited to join engagement groups.

Other creators will retweet your posts if you retweet theirs. Each group has it’s own rules.

Pay for promotions
One way to jump the queue is to pay popular creators for promotion.

Just make sure they’re a good fit and share a few of your features.Shout outs typically range from £30-£300, depending on the size of the profile you’re marketing on.

Encourage retweets
One way to encourage engagement is to set community goals. Tell your audience you’ll share x if you reach y retweets.

Share videos and gifs
Movement is much better at capturing attention. You won’t need to post full length videos. Even 5 second clips do better than still images.

Keep it casual
Professional shoots cause disconnect, believe it or not.

Retweet
Retweeting posts published by other users will give you more exposure.

Comment
Give a compliment or two a day, just don’t spam. Your interactions ought to be genuine. Everyone will be able to tell if you’re self serving and you’ll create an awkward atmosphere.

Message engaged followers
Ask your most engaged followers how they are. They’ll be pleasantly surprised you messaged them, just make sure not to spend too much time talking for free. Be honest and upfront by suggesting they subscribe to see more.

Post daily
Maximise your marketing efforts by posting 5 times per day. Post once per day at the very least. It doesn’t need to be a photo or video every time. You can also make use of Twitter’s other features.

Post polls
Posting polls can help you determine what you should create next.

Ask the audience
Ask your followers questions every now and then.

Remain out of reach
Connect publicly in the comments, but don’t reply to every direct message you receive. Remember, one of your main OnlyFans selling points is accessibility.

It may be worth turning your messages off, or at least limiting who can contact you to profiles you follow.

Twitter Mistakes OnlyFans Creators Make

Twitter trains
COMMENT BEOW WITH YOUR ONLYFANS SO WE CAN ALL GROW TOGETHER!!!! Uhh, no. The only person this benefits is the person who posted the original tweet. Waste of time.

Leaving captions empty
Sexual content will be blurred so you’ll need to entice with words if your posts are NSFW.

Don’t follow and unfollow
Your suspicious Twitter activity won’t go unnoticed and will result in a ban. Just don’t do it.

Don’t only post promos
I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again. The biggest marketing mistake is appearing to be a marker. The importance of humanising the digital experience cannot be overstated.

Don’t spam other creators
I get that you might have a million questions but how do you think they figured it out? It’s all a game of trial and error. You have the advantage of learning from those who started before you. You have this blog! Google is at your fingertips so don’t be a pest.

Don’t overuse hashtags
Most other guides to Twitter for OnlyFans creators I’ve came across emphasise using hashtags. However, keywords work in your captions, whether they’re hashtagged or not. Hashtags look spammy and a bit desperate, to be honest.

Don’t become impatient if you’re shadow banned

Shadow bans can last 3 days. If it happens to you, it’ll be over in no time. Wait it out.

Reposting OnlyFans media to Twitter
Do not, under any circumstances, share your OnlyFans content on public platforms.

Understandably, your paying subscribers will be pissed if you’re posting what they’re paying for and your free followers will have no incentive to subscribe.

Your social promos should only ever reveal the tip of ice berg.

Don’t be robotic
You don’t want to come off as a robot. While you should post consistently, you don’t want every post to be a direct promotion.

What did you do today? What did you eat? What are your cats up to? Twitter care more than you may imagine.

Sharing a little about yourself via your tweets will peak your followers interest and you’ll be on their mind more.

Even if they don’t ask, they’ll be wondering.

I hope this guide to Twitter for OnlyFans creators has been helpful. Wishing you the best of luck on your journey.

As always, stay safe! ❤️
