Why conversational messaging is key to OnlyFans growth

Spenders buy from creators they trust, and trust gets built in conversation before any sale. That is the whole case for conversational messaging.

Messaging subscribers is a great time to make a PPV (pay-per-view) sale, and it can be tempting to rush into offering content right away. 

But Creators who take time to have a conversation before trying to sell content get much better results. 

It can be difficult for subscribers to spend money on OnlyFans Creators who they haven’t spoken to. Conversational messaging solves this problem by making your subs feel comfortable with you.

By actively listening to their experiences and sharing your own, they’ll develop a sense of trust and loyalty that will motivate them to buy more content—and spend more when they do.

Let’s look into the benefits of conversational messaging and techniques to make the most of it.

How does conversational messaging increase sales?

Establishing trust is an important step in an online relationship. A common fear is that the person you’re speaking to online isn’t who they say they are.

This is especially relevant since many OnlyFans Creators use engagement assistants or messaging tools. 

If a subscriber suspects that they’re speaking with someone who’s impersonating the Creator, they won’t want to buy content.

Even if a subscriber is speaking with an assistant, it’s essential that the relationship feels genuine. 

You can establish a sense of trust by taking the time to have a conversation with a subscriber.

A simple conversation about how their day is going or their feelings and interests can lead to a sense of genuine connection. 

Here is a list of benefits of establishing trust with subscribers through conversation:

• Increased revenue: This article in Harvard Business Review shows that “customers who had the best past experiences spend 140% more compared to those who had the poorest past experience”.

• Increased loyalty: Establishing a connection with subscribers through conversation can help them develop a sense of personal investment in you, which can make some of them very loyal.

• Increased sales: Developing trust and loyalty with your subscribers has a major impact on sales. A 2019 survey by Edelman shows that 81% of consumers need to trust the brand they’re purchasing from. By developing a subscriber’s trust and loyalty you’re investing your earnings.

• Subscriber insights: The more you hear from your subscribers, the more likely you will learn exactly what they want to see. This can be very useful for creating content that you know will sell.

Elements of conversational messaging

Conversational messaging comes down to a handful of habits that make subscribers feel like people rather than wallets. 

Here’s a list of tips to follow: 

• Be welcoming: When it comes to building trusting relationships with subscribers, the goal is to be friendly and approachable in your conversations. By making subscribers feel like they’re welcome to talk with you and to share their feelings, they’ll feel valued.

• Be positive: A positive tone creates an inviting environment, and subscribers are more likely to open up to you. 

• Practice active listening: To practice active listening with your subs, think about what they’re telling you, and respond with questions that address their thoughts and feelings. By engaging thoughtfully, you’ll eliminate doubt they have that you actually value them and their time.

• Share personal anecdotes: Sharing personal anecdotes is a powerful way to establish a strong sense of connection. If you can relate your subscribers’ experiences to one of your own, they will feel genuinely listened to. By establishing this type of rapport, your subscribers will feel connected to you and will be more likely to make a purchase.

Case study

This is a perfect example of how to be conversational while messaging a subscriber.

Let’s go over everything the Creator does to make the conversation feel natural and genuine:

• Engage with the subscriber’s interests: The Creator doesn’t miss an opportunity to ask about the subscriber’s interests. The Creator quickly relates to the subscriber’s interests by sharing that she likes the same video game they do. The Creator is clearly trying to make a connection between their own interests and the subscriber’s. 

• Ask questions: The Creator asks an open-ended question that lets the subscriber talk about their work or hobbies. This is the type of question you’d ask to get to know someone on a date—it’s flirty and natural.

• Talk about something besides OnlyFans content: When you talk about topics that are unrelated to your OF content, the subscriber forgets that they’re talking to a Creator who’s trying to make money. Instead, you make them feel relaxed—like they’re talking to a friend!

• Don’t ignore their questions: Instead of sexting right away, this Creator takes a second to answer their sub’s questions about why they’re traveling. This little detail makes the conversation feel natural and respectful, increasing the odds of the sub spending money.

• Don’t force the spicy content: This creator doesn’t force the topic of sexting or sharing spicy content, and as a result, it feels like a very natural conversation. It’s important to remember that your subs will broach the topic of spicy content on their own.
