Meanwhile, OnlyFans has been known for a long time and there are other platforms for the same purpose. Founded in 2016, the platform has grown tremendously in a short period of time. Such a success story of a payment platform with UGC (user generated content) cannot be missed. Of course, in the platform’s eight years of existence, that also causes competing platforms to emerge.
Therefore, as a content creator, it can be difficult to have to choose between platforms to share your content. Do you focus on one platform? Or do you go through different paid channels to offer your content? Of course, it can be a time-consuming task to grow, especially if you are active on multiple platforms.
In this article, we list the benefits for each platform for you. So that you can (hopefully) more easily make the choice in the platform that suits you. After all, there are plenty of alternatives.
Let’s start with the benefits of OnlyFans
The reason for choosing OnlyFans as a content creator is simple. The platform has been around the longest and therefore also has the largest number of users. On the one hand, this makes it easy to grow, but therefore it also means that you have to deal with more competition. You often see models recruiting subscribers through external channels. For example, through social media, or through article placement on our website.
Benefits at a glance:
- Wide range.
- Choose your own subscription costs (for fans)
- Often new features.
- Discreet.
The drawbacks:
- Lots of competition, which can make starting out difficult.
- Not always accessible with payment platforms.
Fansly is also not to be missed in our list
Fansly is a social media platform that, like OnlyFans, allows uncensored adult content and offers the opportunity to earn money from that content. Founded in 2021, Fansly offers a lot of basic features.
Benefits:
- Selling loose content.
- Option for free trial subscriptions to lure new followers.
- Instant text messages for personal contact with fans.
- Referral program offering a 5% bonus.
The drawbacks:
- Customer service leaves much to be desired.
- The terms and conditions on the platform may be unclear.
- Bonuses for referrals are only available temporarily.
- Limited payment options can complicate transactions.
Fancentro, big and well-known in the Netherlands
FanCentro, like OnlyFans, is a free platform where fans can buy content directly from their favorite influencers. This platform is super flexible with all sorts of ways for creators to sell their work, including private social media accounts, paid feeds, direct messages, live streams, a clip store, and uncensored stories. With so many options, as a creator you can choose exactly how you want to connect with your fans.
FanCentro also has a learning program called Centro University. Here, as an influencer, you get all kinds of useful tutorials that will help you use the platform optimally and boost your earnings. Of course, you can use this knowledge on other platforms as well ;).
Benefits:
- Help with transferring your content from OnlyFans to FanCentro.
- Various tools and features to share your content.
- Always accessible to adult material.
- Customer service is always available.
- Personal coaching to increase your success.
- Earn extra with tips and promotional opportunities.
For those in the know: F2F!
A truly Dutch platform is F2F, relative to OnlyFans and other platforms. This platform is one of the newest of the list and focuses mainly on the Dutch market. With some of the models on our site we have mentioned the F2F link.
Advantages:
- Tips from fans.
- Direct messaging
- Rewards users for bringing in new fans as well as other content creators.
Disadvantages:
- Not as many visitors as some of the larger platforms.
- The platform is not always easy to use.
- Only 1% bonus, less attractive compared to other sites.
- Mainly focused on the Dutch market, which limits global growth opportunities.
So, what platform do we recommend?
We have now listed the platforms, but of course the question now is which one we recommend. Personally, we recommend starting with a smaller platform, because that way you also get maximum benefit from the growth of the platform. So don’t start immediately on OnlyFans, but on a Fancentro or a F2F.
Ultimately, the size of the platform doesn’t make a huge difference. On a smaller platform, you stand out more among the content creators. However, your own promotion is important. The easiest way is through social media, or through our website. Every day we get hundreds of visitors on our website, 83% of which click through to an OnlyFans profile.
