Who Can Create an Onlyfans Account?
Anyone can create an Onlyfans account to monetize their “real-life” or online personal brands. Many types of people from many different niches have been able to generate income through the platform. These categories include:
Why Have an Onlyfans Account?
If you already have a following elsewhere, should you create an Onlyfans account? Absolutely! Onlyfans gives you new opportunities to post what you want, when you want, and charge what you want. You can utilize extra features for more exclusive content, such as direct messaging for tips and PPV. You can even live-stream or set up events for those who subscribe to your account.
Different Onlyfans Niches
As Onlyfans allows their creators to post any type of content, the platform has, in some circles, become seen as a “porn site.” That being said, nothing says that you have to post adult content. You should note that Onlyfans does recommend other creators on every account’s home page. Occasionally, you might see a banner or a profile picture that isn’t family-friendly. If you or your community would rather avoid seeing the occasional image, you may want to look for an alternative.
The following are several niches of Onlyfans accounts that don’t involve adult content:
Alternatives to Onlyfans
If you want to upload non-adult content elsewhere but still receive a subscription fee, you can use one of the following places:
-
1. Patreon
With Patreon, you can post special content for your patrons that they can either receive through a monthly subscription or a paid-per-post. Create different tiers that offer unique privileges to the people who are willing to support you financially.
Patreon was founded in May 2013 and has been helping content creators raise money through crowdfunding ever since. They do have a strict ToS on what can and cannot be posted.
Patreon takes 5% + $.10 for donations of $3 or less and 2.9% + $.30 for any donations over $3.

2. Guilded
Guilded was created as an alternative to Discord, allowing gamers to communicate to each other through text, voice, and video. That being said, you can also use it for any niche. It is free to create your own server and you can add and assign roles to people who join as you please.
With Guilded, you can create different tiers within your server, allowing your fans to choose which tier they want to purchase. You can create special channels on the server for each tier and post exclusive content within them.
Guilded takes 2.5% of your subs as well as the Stripe fees (the program they use to process payments).
-
3. Steady
Steady is another online platform that allows you to upload and publish content that your biggest fans can view behind a paywall. With Steady, you can offer free trials, choose your subscription amounts, and create tiers for your current and future fans to join.
The amount Steady takes will vary depending on the payment method, but it averages 4.6%.
