Onlyfans Pages That Aren't Worth It.

[JaLoBro]

4.99 for a whole month is actual pennies. 16 pennies a day. Giving pennies to a content creator you admire, then saying they aren’t even worth those pennies? It’s just wild and unnecessary rude.

it makes me think of the pandemic, with entertainers, drag queens, using the platform to try and make money for rent as they couldn’t work.

it makes me think of me, with my nearly 10,000 likes on here, all my free media, and never capitalising from it and putting myself first. And now I have to, with tripled rent, and now I have to think about people saying “Cherry isn’t worth 16p a day”.

Ugh, sex work is not a place for overthinkers! We will have to agree to disagree on this one x

You guys remind me of Siskel & Ebert arguing over their opposing movie reviews.
One person might dislike the movie Showgirls because of the bad acting. Another person
may like it because of the nudity and they found the bad acting hilarious.
It's just an opinion. Relax.

Thats like saying you should be paying a $1 for a long movie trailer. You have enjoyed part of the movie right?

The excerpts are advertising to encourage you to the site to pay a subscription. Thats exactly why they use twitter - its their marketing machine.

They infer there is more to see and more available when in fact there isn't unless you then pay an exorbitant amount for a video in most cases.

The site itself will tell you there are 100 videos however does not allow you to see the length of them unless the creator allows that. Most don't because, as I said they 10 second excerpts and not what I want or paid for so you go in blind, assuming this creator you like is being fair about what they are doing.

The creators are fine believe me - they have learned that gay men can be dumbasses when it comes to porn and know how to milk it.

Hard agree with you! If you want me to sub for $4.99, then put in an equal (or greater) amount of effort to make the subscription worthwhile! More vids than pics with the vids being a decent length (5-10 mins) will usually do it for me.

Hiya! How much time will you be spending looking at the content? Will you be jerking off?

If it's hot enough. Since O.F. doesn't allow piss vids, I usually request a decent-length, regular shower vid, just plain, no jerking off necessary.

So let me get this straight. You want lots of videos. All around 10 mins each. So, we are looking at hours of content… for 16p a day? You guys are absolutely WILD.

If I join an Onlyfans I scroll through the video media looking at time lengths. I'll probably open a couple of short ones to have a look but how much do you get out of 20 seconds of a butt pose. Not much.

I can get a whole lot more than that on any of 100 free porn sites like boyfriendTV or pornhub.

You know that anything under 5 minutes is unlikely going to have a cumshot then I don't even bother, move on and wait to see how much their PPV will be.

I think a lot of guys feel similarly. Creators should be more like someone like David Christian (dombeeef) who posts a few good quality long collabs, has a decent back catalogue and charges a reasonable $12 or $13 per month.

Thats why he's making bank and others who skimp on content struggle. End users - creators should listen to them - wouldn't that be a weird world.

No I'd pay a 12 month subscription worth $100 for that and just have.

you seem incapable of understanding there is massive amounts of free porn readily available and creators have to compete with that.

No matter what you want the real world to be, that is it.

For $5? I'd want maybe 10 decent length vids in a library with 2 new ones a month and would be happy if the price rose slowly over time.

You seem to think this is just an either or thing...its weird.

Exactlly.

Cherrybomb seems to think we should happy to scoop up some crumbs off the floor and be grateful.

Thats why they never get ongoing subscribers - because they don't think about what the end user wants they think about the least they can provide to grab a few pennies. Short term thinking that means they'll fail in the end.

When you read stories frm ultra successful OF'er they invest an insane amount of time and effort into it to get themselves established and listen to feeback and ask what people want. Imagine - asking people who are willing to pay you money what they would like for that.

Revolutionary!

 

[dave in oz]

Getting back to the topic at hand... jimmy_only is hot and his page is free, BUT he charges up to $50 for a video that's barely 2 minutes long. Also, you can't message him unless you tip. Ridiculous.

He has probably found some wealthy subscribers who are happy throw money for custom vids at him so he doesn't have to try to hard.

Or he is over it and will only do it if he gets mega bucks.

OK this now makes more sense - you are taking this personally whereas we were talking objectively.

Look - here is a perfect example of someone starting out who has managed the correct price point while they grow their subscriber base. He charges $5.99 a month and in a year will probably be at $10 or $11.

Yes, it’s hard to be objective when listening to what people expect for just 16p a day. I think people are forgetting how little 4.99 a month is, after the OF cut it’s actually more 3.50. If someone is charging 20 a month, sure, pop off. But 4.99? Madness x

Charge $4.99, get 10 subscribers who come and go each month because they see nothing of any interest for that and leave.

Charge $5.99 like some do - or $6.99 and upwards to $10 and even $12 and provide killer content , get thousands and thousands of subscribers from positive word of mouth and reviews and suddenly that 16p a day becomes $50,000 a month because you focussed on growth and subscribers not bleating about 16p a day.

I am definitely subbing that OF because its a bargain and I will mention it to others. I doubt that OF'er sits there feeling sorry for himself when 1000's are coming through door. Think small and you'll stay small.

I can't think 0f another way to explain this basic business logic so if you don't get it I can't help you.

Just a quick side note, you do know that you can have a nice causal convo with someone online without the below, right?
“If you don’t get basic logic I can’t help you”
“bleating about”
“You’re weird”

You don’t have to be rude just because you’re online, I haven’t been rude once.

Sure, I can see why you would think that was rude but I suspect that is you avoiding what I actually said because you can see the logic in that but do not want to admit.

In general I think people start an Onlyfans for 3 reasons.

1. John - Everyone else is doing it and making heaps so I should be able to as well. I'll create a twitter, do a couple quick videos in the shower and pouting and watch the money roll in. After 6 months John is only posting once every two weeks to his twitter, he has not uploaded new content in a month and moans about how hard it is. He gives up.

2. Jill - I can see some people succeed at OF and some fail when it comes to subscribers and income. I'll research the ones who succeed and structure a business around their model of providing quality content at a competitive price to build my base so I can leverage off that to build a successful business that will be earning XXXXXX dollars in 3 years. Jill stays on top of her marketing and PR, invests every cent back into better equipment, collabs and providing the best experience possible for her followers. SHe is always asking what she can do better or what people want and over time her subscription price has gone from $4.99 per month to 2 years later being $12.99 a month she has a vast library of content, great word of mouth and loyal fans.She has already achieved her 3 year goal income and is working harder than ever to double that. She is focussed and always challenging herself to do better.

3. Jack - I am starting an Onlyfans because the likes and the money validate who I am and make me feel good as a person. I refuse to be compete on price because that should not be a factor in it. Things start OK for Jack. Each new subscriber makes him feel good and he is sure his attitude of a high price and a small library that grows slowly plus PPV is the right move. Things slow down after 2 or 3 months as Jack has to keep pushing marketing to replace subscriber turn over and wonders why people refuses to see the value in what he is providing. He receives an email here to there explaining why people are leaving but sees it as their issue not his.

You can treat OF as an easy way to make money, a business that has potential if you work and listen to those around you or as a side hustle that gives you seem feel goods initially but ends up making you feel worse when it fails to continue to give you what you need.

All valid but not all successful, depending on your measurements.

This is it. This is the BEST possible explanation. If they don't get it after THIS, I'd honestly give up.

This isn’t just a superbly articulated and condensed description of an OF business model/case, it practically summarises any kind of personal or professional endeavour, enterprise or effort and how it is predisposed to either thrive or not. Thank you to the author for this insight.

What am I supposed to be avoiding? I entered this with commentary on the expectation vs reality dichotomy, the value of 4.99.

This has now become an example of mansplaining when, in reality, I haven’t asked for any input regarding how to grow someone’s OnlyFans and charge 5.99.

We are communicating very differently, and in relation to very different things. Shall we attempt to get on the same page before looking down upon others?
