How to use OnlyFans messages

Onlyfans’ direct messaging feature has revolutionized how Creators can monetize their work. By simplifying direct engagement with fans and creating more opportunities for promoting content, DMs provide Creators with endless potential for bringing in cash.

Aside from the guaranteed subscription cost for site access, your DMs will be your biggest outlet for boosting income. Creators may get overwhelmed by the high volume of messages or simply need help understanding how to use the platform's wide variety of tools. 

Let’s go over best practices for making the most of OnlyFans’ messaging features, connecting with your audience, managing your inbox, and maximizing your earnings. 

Introduction to OnlyFans messaging 

Messaging on Onlyfans is no different than messaging your friends on social media—it’s a direct line of communication between you and your subscribers. While texting is one of the quickest and most common ways to interact with your fans, Onlyfans has several options for messaging, including sharing photos, videos, voice clips, and more.

If you have a high number of messages to keep up with, utilizing tools like scheduled messaging and mass messaging will be your go-to features. Staying on top of your DMs will increase recurring subscriptions, bring in tips, and boost earnings from PPV (pay-per-view) messages with content attachments. 

Using multimedia in OnlyFans messages

Enhancing your messages with multimedia, such as photos, videos and audio clips will be an unexpected treat for your fanbase. It adds a level of personalization and additional gratification that your subs will appreciate and find rewarding. Who doesn’t love receiving a flirty photo or video?

Keep your fans excited and engaged by including high-quality photos and videos in your messages. Adding content that can’t be found on your other socials will help create a sense of exclusivity for your fans and motivate them to continue subscribing each month. 

Add GIFs

GIFs are a fun way to add personality to your messages. Consider making your own from your video clips, or using your favs from the internet to express an emotion in your DMs. 

To make your own GIFs, you can download a free GIF-making app or try Giphy. Looping a GIF or making it replay seamlessly over and over is a great way to flex your editing skills with minimal effort and keep your viewer entranced. 

GIFs are also a great way to give your fans a preview of unreleased content and get them excited about what’s coming next!

Record video

Recording a video to send in your DMs is another simple and effective way to keep your viewers happy. These videos don’t have to be too spicy or explicit—keep it short and sweet by blowing a kiss to the camera or giving your fans a quick view of your OOTD. 

You could also record yourself waving and thanking your fans, a shoutout that will go a long way toward building loyalty with your subscribers. 

Your fans will love seeing YOU behind the screen, so let your personality shine through by adding quick, quirky snippets of your day-to-day in your DMs. 

Record audio

Voice messages add an intimate and personal touch to any DM. Use this feature to personally respond to a fan’s message or question or record a simple greeting so that your fans can hear your voice. 

Sending a voice-recorded ‘good morning’ or ‘goodnight’ text will give your subs that feeling of care and connection that so many people crave and cherish. 

Plus, adding an element of personalization and familiarity to your page is a unique and invaluable asset for keeping recurring subscribers!  

Add media from the vault

Want to add something special to your DM but don’t feel like recording something new? Utilize your vault to store premade assets that you send out in DMs. With Infloww’s Messages Pro, you can quickly respond to DMs with relevant content with the push of a button.

Fans may tip you for certain responses, like a body rating, a special greeting video, or a sexy selfie. Having several of these assets already on hand in your vault will save you time and help you promptly respond to special request DMs, making your fans feel impressed and taken care of.  

Scheduled messages

Scheduling messages allows you to plan your communication in advance. This is especially useful for maintaining regular interactions even when you’re busy and may not have time to keep up with each chat individually. 

Use this feature to easily share media with your entire fanbase or send to just your most loyal fans using the Top Fans feature. This feature categorizes your fans based on the amount of earnings they generate from tips and PPVs. It is a great way to share content updates and personalized messages with all subscribers efficiently.

Message price

Setting a price for your messages will help you easily monetize content sent through DMs. This feature is particularly valuable for sharing extra sexy content, behind-the-scenes looks, or special offers that fans can unlock for a fee. 

By pricing your messages, you’ll create more opportunities to generate additional income from your dedicated subscribers who are willing to pay for a more intimate and exclusive look at your content. It’s a great way to boost your earnings while rewarding your most engaged fans.

Responding to fans' messages

Prompt and engaging DM responses are vital for maintaining a positive relationship with your fans. 

You should aim to reply to your DMs in a timely manner and always keep a friendly, respectful tone, unless your niche involves a persona that requires a different style of communication. 

Having various scripts dedicated to different message scenarios will help speed up the process of responding to messages. To personalize the script, add the fan's name or details.

Setting aside time every day to review your DMs is a great way to make sure that no messages go unseen. Infloww’s Enhanced Messaging can help keep track of message statuses and read receipts, making follow-ups more efficient.

Personalizing messages for better engagement

Always look for opportunities to personalize your DMs to make your fans feel valued. 

• Address them by name: Address your fans by their names in your messages if they have a name associated with their profile. You could also address them by their screen name to have the same effect if you don’t know their real name. While some fans may not want to share their real name, you can always ask in an effort to make a more personal connection.

• Be positive: Try using positive, cute emojis and exclamation points in your messages to create an enthusiastic, casual, and sweet vibe.  

• Express gratitude: Acknowledge your fans’ support and show appreciation in your interactions by thanking them for recent content purchases, recurring subscriptions to your page, wishlist gifts they’ve bought, or even comments on your posts. This level of attention goes a long way with subscribers, making them feel like you see their efforts and commitments! 

Managing a high message volume

As your subscriber base grows, managing a large number of messages can become challenging. Using tools like auto-replies for common questions will simplify your work and take some of the repetitive messages off your plate. 

You can also use the scheduling feature to make sure messages are being sent out to your fanbase regularly without having to keep up with individual chats. However, even if you’re using mass messaging to connect with your subscribers, it’s still a good idea to look through your DMs yourself every so often to make sure you don’t miss out on opportunities to earn. 

By using Infloww’s Messages Tabs, you can easily switch between chats, ensuring you never lose track of a conversation. Staying organized will help you maintain quality communication and focus on your earnings without getting overwhelmed.

Using Infloww’s fan tags for targeted messaging

OnlyFans offers the Top Fans feature, which lets you prioritize conversations with your highest spenders. 

Infloww takes it a step further, offering Fan Tags that automatically categorize fans based on their engagement. 

• New: Give new subscribers the attention they deserve. Build loyalty among new fans by incentivizing them with personalized content beyond automated welcome messages. This could include offering exclusive PPVs, special offers, or a sneak peek into what they can expect from their new subscription.

• 🔥 Fans who recently purchased PPVs: Try sending these fans personalized messages thanking fans for their support, offering discounts to PPVs, and asking for feedback for future content.

• ❄️ Fans who haven’t been messaged in 72 hours: Try to re-engage them with special offers or content updates to remind them of your presence.

• ❌ Expired subscriptions: Send reminders, such as personalized promotions, to encourage them to renew. You can also track which fans are up for renewal and ensure they receive the attention they deserve.

• Off: Fans that stopped renewing their subscriptions. Use the auto-follow feature and messaging tools to reach out with personalized DMs and special promotions that encourage them to come back. This could include offering free trials, exclusive content, and discounts.

Ensuring privacy and security in messages

A focus on privacy and security in your DMs is key for building a sense of safety and confidence for both you and your subscribers. Here are some tips:

• Never share personal information like your real name, real birthday, email addres,s or place of residence—and don’t ask for vulnerable information from your fans. 

• Be cautious of potential scams, which tend to include links or downloadable files. These can contain malware and compromise your devices. 

• Phishing attempts and other scam attacks can seem like they’re innocent messages coming from a legitimate source, so it’s best to be cautious and avoid any messages that require you to click or download external material. 

How to message on OnlyFans

Using Onlyfans’ multimedia messaging tools lets you easily captivate your fans with personal and unique messages, keeping them invested in your content. 

Efficiently managing your messages—whether it’s setting prices, scheduling them, or using automation tools—keeps your communication smooth and consistent. 

Getting into a reliable messaging workflow will allow you to shift your focus to other tasks, like creating your content! 

Each part of the messaging feature can help you build a strong and engaged fan base, so take the time to learn these strategies, and you’ll create a more rewarding experience for your subscribers.
