You’ve launched your OnlyFans. The username is locked in, your page is live, and maybe you’ve uploaded a few posts. Now the big question is—where are the subscribers?
Getting your first 100 subs might feel like a slow climb, but it’s more about strategy than luck. This guide breaks it down into actionable steps so you can grow steadily, without burning out.
Step 1: Make Sure Your Page Is Worth Subscribing To
Before you start promoting anything, give people a reason to subscribe. Your page should look polished and intentional.
What to check:
- Profile picture and banner are clear and on-brand
- Bio is short, direct, and tells people what to expect
- 5–10 posts already uploaded (photos, videos, or both)
- A pinned post that welcomes new subscribers and explains what they’ll get
First impressions matter. You don’t need to have everything figured out, but your page should show that you’re active and consistent.
Step 2: Choose One Social Platform to Focus On
Trying to promote on every platform at once is overwhelming. Instead, pick one channel that makes sense for your content and personality, and focus your energy there.
Here’s where most creators start:
- Twitter/X: Still the most adult-friendly promo platform
- Reddit: Great for niche communities and traffic, if you learn the rules
- TikTok or Instagram Reels: Ideal for creators comfortable being on camera and playing within content guidelines
Once you’re comfortable on one, then expand. Don’t spread yourself too thin too early.

Step 3: Tease, Don’t Spoil
One of the biggest mistakes creators make is giving away too much on social media. The goal of your public content is to make people curious, not satisfied.
Instead of posting full photos or videos, share clips, cropped shots, behind-the-scenes angles, or text that hints at what’s behind the paywall.
Make people want to see more—and show them exactly where they can do that.
Step 4: Use a Link Hub That’s Clean and Clickable
You need a central place where fans can easily find all your links. That’s where link hubs come in.
Use a service like:
- AllMyLinks
- Linktree
- Solo.to
At the top, place your OnlyFans link. Under that, include your socials, tip page, wishlists, or anything else relevant.
Make sure your hub is mobile-friendly, has a short bio, and doesn’t feel cluttered.
Step 5: Be a Real Human
People don’t subscribe just for content—they subscribe because they like you. Engage with followers, reply to comments, and show a bit of personality.
You don’t have to reveal your whole life, but you should feel approachable. That connection builds loyalty and keeps subscribers around longer.
Step 6: Collaborate With Other Creators
Find creators with a similar audience size and swap shoutouts or features. It’s one of the fastest ways to grow your reach without spending money.
Make sure your brands align and that you’re promoting each other authentically. This isn’t about random follower grabs—it’s about reaching the right people.
Step 7: Offer a Limited-Time Incentive
To encourage those early subscribers, offer a deal. A time-limited discount or bonus can give people that final nudge to click subscribe.
Ideas to try:
- A 50% launch discount
- Free trial for new followers
- A bonus message or photo for the first 10 subscribers
Whatever you offer, follow through on it. Building trust early is key.

Your First 100 Subs Are Closer Than You Think
The first 100 subscribers are the hardest because you’re building from scratch. But once that foundation is in place, things get easier. Focus on making your content and page clear, stay consistent with your promotion, and engage like a real person.
It’s not about having everything perfect—it’s about showing up with intention and learning as you go.
