Why you shouldn't skip OnlyFans livestreams, according to Reddit

Want to make thousands of dollars in just a few hours? It’s totally possible with OnlyFans livestreams!

The thought of going live might seem scary at first. But don't worry—you can start simple and build your confidence step by step. 

In this article, we'll explore why livestreams are crucial on OnlyFans. You'll get tips from other creators on how to make your live sessions popular and learn how to handle any issues that might pop up.

Why go live on OnlyFans?

There are lots of reasons you should consider adding livestreams to your OnlyFans repertoire. 

Stronger fan-Creator relationship

Livestreams offer a chance to connect with your subscribers on a deeper level. When you’re chatting with your fans in real-time, it’s like having a cozy virtual hangout.

Your fans will appreciate the opportunity to see you live—and will tip big to see more.

By interacting with your audience live, you break down the barrier that often exists between Creators and their fans by creating a sense of connection that will keep your subscribers coming back for more.

“I find it’s good for sales (I usually have a little rush after my streams of subs asking for more), and it helps customers know you’re a real person and have a bit more of a connection” says /u/kendallll.

Livestreams aren’t just for your existing fan base—they’re also a great way to attract new subscribers. Try promoting your live sessions on other social platforms. Share a sneak peek on Instagram or tweet about your upcoming stream. By casting a wider net, you’ll reel in fresh faces who are eager to see what you’re all about.

Tips can skyrocket

Livestreaming on OnlyFans is a major money-making opportunity. Even if you don’t have a massive following, you can still make a major profit. The trick is engaging with your audience and giving them a reason to stay in the live. 

Verified OnlyFans Creator /u/kendallll1 shared tips on Reddit on how to make money hosting livestreams. 

OnlyFans Creator Marie Dee hosted a livestream with a bunch of girlfriends hanging out in her living room, having a drink, and interacting with their fans live. She made $5,000 in just 3 hours!

Redditor /u/Weary-Examination-19 writes, “I heard one girl sets goals like at a strip club and they just remove a piece of clothing when the goal is reached. Ex. $25 accessories, $50-$100 for top, $150-$200 for bottoms and people will just try to tip to get to those goals!” 

/u/PolyWordSoup says, “I personally do a free stream with a $300 tip goal to get my top off, a $300 goal for bottoms, and a $500 for cum.”

“One of the people I follow has a wheel spin thing. And has a bunch of prizes like: 5min custom, a PPV, piece of clothing off etc. And she’ll spin if you tip a certain amount” writes /u/yammybaby.

Tips for successful OnlyFans live sessions

Here are some tips to help you make your OnlyFans live sessions a hit.

Plan and promote

As an OnlyFans Creator, you already know how important it is to promote yourself. This also applies to OnlyFans livestreams. 

When planning a livestream, schedule your sessions in advance and spread the word on all your social media channels. Direct messages are also key. Reach out to your loyal followers and let them know when you’ll be going live.

With Infloww, you can identify your top-spending fans and target them with customized mass DMs letting them know about your upcoming stream. 

/u/kendallll1 suggests asking your fans what time works best for them, saying “I highly recommend posting a poll asking what time subs prefer. I did a poll recently and the most popular time voted was 6 PM pst”

Remember, the more buzz you create, the more viewers you’ll likely attract.

Start casually

When it’s time to go live, ease into the livestream with some casual conversation. Start by warmly greeting your audience as they join, and respond to their comments and questions in real-time. Chat with your fans and ask how their days are going. This will make your viewers feel welcome and engaged from the get-go.

/u/Notacelebrity1995 suggests: “BE YOURSELF! Talk about your hobbies, nerd out, draw, cook: do what makes you happy and that makes your viewers happy! The most frequent feedback I’ve gotten is how appreciated it is how much I interact with chat & keep a positive attitude!”

Keep it short and sweet. If it’s your first time, a 15 to 30-minute stream is a great way to get started. 

Monetize with tips

If you run a subscription-based OnlyFans, you won’t be able to set a price to enter the livestream. Your fans can enter for free. Consider creating a tiered tip system to incentivize your viewers. Offer different content or actions in response to specific tip amounts. For example, set tip goals: your fans will have to tip until a certain amount is reached for you to take a piece of clothing off, use toys, wear sexy lingerie—you name it.

“I usually have a robe and lingerie on. 50-100$ for robe off, then x for top off, x naked, x this toy, x cum, x that toy, x cum etc” writes /u/christine_smoke.

Fans who tip you get a checkmark next to their username. This lets you devote more time to your most loyal fans and listen to what they want. 

Unleash your creativity

You’ve gone live, welcomed your fans, and you’ve got a tip system in place. Great job! Now it’s time to get creative. Play games, try out fun ideas, and keep your viewers entertained. 

“It was my birthday 🎂 I got a fancy cake and shoved it in my face. I talked shit to people, I teased, I kept hearing CHA-CHING. I wore my heels and felt super rad… Kind of like a champagne room, but way fucking better” writes /u/kyraaluuani.

Listen to your fans and see what they appreciated the most. So you can fine-tune your strategy and concentrate on what works best for your future live sessions.

Overcoming obstacles

Livestreams may not always go smoothly, but if you come prepared with a positive mindset, you can overcome any obstacle.

If you encounter technical issues like lagging or audio problems, try basic troubleshooting tips like restarting your device or checking your internet connection. Apologize to your fans in the chat and ask them to be patient until you figure out what’s wrong.

And if you’re camera shy, practicing can help. Here’s what /u/FreelyKaty suggests: “Worth practicing in front of a camera recording you. Then watch it back, see what your hands are doing and how often you smile, how you speak and if you say Umm a lot. Are you watching yourself or looking into the camera giving eye contact?”

It's natural to feel a bit nervous before going live, but remember: you’ve got this. Your fans enjoy seeing you live and can’t wait to see what you have in store for them!

Going live on OnlyFans

OnlyFans livestreams are a great way to boost your earnings and strengthen your relationship with your fans.

With a solid promotional strategy, a tiered tip system, and a positive attitude, livestreaming can take your OF game to the next level.
