Thinking about starting on OnlyFans? It's more and more common. Here's the complete guide to creating your account and getting started right.

1. What you need to sign up

Before you start, make sure you have:

• Be an adult (18 minimum, verified with ID)
• A valid ID (passport, ID card)
• A bank account or PayPal for payments
• A phone for two-step verification

2. Signing up on OnlyFans

1. Go to onlyfans.com — type the URL carefully, watch out for clone sites.
2. Click "Register" — you can sign up with email or via Google.
3. Choose your username — it will be public, choose it well. No second chances.
4. Set your email and password — use a strong password.

3. ID verification

OnlyFans is very strict about this. You'll need to:

• Upload a photo of your ID
• Take a live selfie
• Confirm you're 18+

Verification usually takes a few hours to 48h. If it's rejected, you'll get an explanation by email.

4. Setting up your profile

Once verified, it's time to customize your profile:

• Cover photo — an attractive banner (recommended: 1920x600)
• Avatar — your profile picture, choose wisely
• Bio — describe who you are, what content you offer, your posting frequency
• Subscription price — start low and raise it as you grow

5. What price should you set?

French creators typically charge between €5 and €20/month to start. You can start low to attract your first fans, then raise it gradually.

Don't forget that OnlyFans takes a 20% commission.

6. What should you post on OnlyFans?

OnlyFans isn't just nudes. Many creators offer:

• Fashion/lifestyle photos
• Behind-the-scenes videos
• 18+ content (photos, videos, sexting)
• Personalized messages
• Live streams

7. How to promote your account?

This is where a lot of new creators get stuck. Without promotion, no one will find you.

• Twitter/X — post regularly, engage with the community
• Reddit — communities like r/OnlyFans101 exist
• TikTok/Instagram — careful, they ban NSFW content, so be creative
• Directories — list yourself on directories like Comptoir des Meufs to get found

8. Mistakes to avoid

• Don't post stolen content — it's illegal and you'll get banned
• Don't lie about your age — verification is strict
• Don't use your real name — protect your privacy
• Don't spam your promo — you'll get reported
• Don't neglect quality — blurry photos don't work

In conclusion

Creating an OnlyFans profile is easy, but succeeding takes work. Be authentic, stay consistent, and engage with your community to build loyalty.
