Categorize your OnlyFans subscribers to maximize your earnings

While getting new subscribers is exciting, it can take time to customize your interactions with each one. It’s challenging to keep track of individual preferences—especially when you have lots of subscribers. 

An easy way to solve this problem is to make different categories to easily identify your different types of subscribers. 

By dividing your subscribers into different categories, you can target them with the most effective scripts. This strategy also identifies the fans who will spend the most, allowing you to focus your energy on these subscribers.

Read on to learn how to categorize your subscribers, the different categories of subscribers, and which type of subscriber pays the most!

What is subscriber categorization?

Say you have one sub who’s submissive and another who’s dominant. These are your first two categories. You know right away that one needs different treatment than the other, so it’s important to know who likes what.

When you get a new subscriber, have a conversation to ask questions about their interests and desires. For example, you can ask them, “Do you like to be in control, or do you want me to be in charge?” This type of question helps you figure out if they’re dominant or submissive.

Categorizing your subs is about keeping track of what they like, and how willing they are to spend money. There are lots of categories that fans fall into. Try putting an emoji in front of their name to keep track of the category once you learn what it is. 

A fan can have a 😊🍑 in front of their name to signal to you that they’re a solid spender and that they like anal. You’ll know right away that it will be worth it to give them attention and that you should send them anal content.

Benefits of categorizing fans

Here are the top benefits of categorizing your fans:

• Track their preferences: By keeping track of your fans, you can easily keep track of the best type of content to send them. Instead of having to scroll up into your previous messages or ask them again what they like, you’ll know right away just by looking at the emoji in their name.

• Identify the biggest spenders: Categorizing also helps you keep track of how often fans spend. Once you’ve identified your core followers who spend the most, you can focus most of your attention on them. This is why the strategy is so beneficial—it lets you maximize your earnings by focusing on the big spenders.

• Building your core fanbase: Once you’ve categorized your subs, you can start paying less attention to the types who don’t spend money. Your goal as a Creator isn’t to chat with everyone—it’s to chat with people who are worth the time.

Types of spenders you should focus on

To start establishing your categories, let’s look at the types of spenders you should look for:

The whale 🐳:

The whale is the sub with the biggest budget who’s willing to spend over $500 every month if given the right attention. One of the top priorities for any Creator is to give lots of attention to their whales. 

The goal should be to make them feel like they’re in an online relationship. Give daily attention to the whale to create an extremely strong sense of connection and justify the money they give you.

Solid spender 😊

The solid spender is a fan who consistently spends a certain amount on PPV content and sexts. They don’t spend as much as the whale, so they don’t require daily attention, but they’ll likely make up the majority of your core fanbase.

Has extra info in notes 📝

Anytime a fan has extra info in their notes, leave this emoji to signal to yourself that you should be aware of this info when you message them. This information can include their likes, dislikes, and particularities.

Waiting for custom 🥶

Use this category if a fan has requested a custom photo or video but you haven’t delivered it yet. This can also be a useful way to keep track of how many customs you need to create. You don’t want to forget and message them about something else before you deliver their custom!

You’ll get the best results if you deliver customs within two days. 

Sends unsolicited tips💲

Don’t you love it when you get a gift for no reason? The random tippers are often people who have the potential to become solid spenders—or big whales! 

Whenever someone leaves you a random tip, make a note so that you remember to pay attention to them soon.

Prefers a set rate to sext with content unlocked 🤝

Negotiation can pay well, but if you’ve already established a set rate with a fan, put him in this category! It’ll let you skip the negotiation, and they’ll be happier if you get straight to sexting.

Has spent before but stopped paying 🔔 

If a fan used to spend but doesn’t anymore, there’s probably a simple reason why they stopped. 

Keeping track of these fans and getting in touch with them lets you figure out what happened. 

Often, you can fix the problem by figuring out what content you’re missing or what kind of sexting experience they’re looking for.

Types of kinks/interests

Has wife/gf 💍

If a fan tells you they have a wife or girlfriend, it’s probably because they want you to talk about it. Asking if their wife is home can be a great way to start a scripted sext or to see if they’re available to chat.

Into anal 🍑

People who like anal respond very well to this content. When you build up a category of ass-play fans, you can quickly send them targeted content whenever it’s available. Tapping into this niche can seriously boost your revenue.

Foot fetish 👣 

This group is an easy target with niche content, since not all Creators are serving this interest. Try to keep this type of sub happy by sending foot content regularly.

Dominant 😤

Dominant fans are easy to cater to. Let them take the lead and figure out what they like to be called. For example, dominant fans often like to be called “daddy” or something similar. 

Submissive ⛓

Being dominant takes a bit more work, but it can be very profitable if you do it well. Remember to be domineering while sexting by humiliating submissive fans. 

Submissive fans often like being told when they’re allowed to experience pleasure, so try putting restrictions on when they can touch themselves. It can also be profitable to ask for more money from submissive fans because they often like being dominated financially as well.

Bisexual 🌈

If your fan mentions to you that they’re bisexual, this can be an exciting element for you to mention while you sext. 

It’s important to remember to be respectful of their orientation and talk about their bisexuality in a way that celebrates it and makes them feel good about themselves. Try to focus on talking about the genders that they’ve expressed interest in, and make sure to listen closely to their feedback. 

Female subscriber 🚺

While most OnlyFans subscribers are men, it’s important to remember that female fans can also subscribe to your content! By categorizing them with an emoji, you can make sure you use a voice that you would use when talking to a woman.

Doesn’t send dick pics 🥖

If someone has told you that they don’t want to send dick pics while sexting, it’s a great idea to make a note of it! A fan will be much happier if they only have to express their boundary once, and they’re more likely to spend money if they feel that you listen to what they say.

Types of subscribers you should give less energy to

Time-waster ⏳

If you spend a long time talking with someone and they haven’t tipped or bought PPV, put them in the time-waster category. Your time is valuable, and you need to make sure you’re giving it to people who pay you.

When a time waster is still trying to talk, you can acknowledge them, but don’t put too much effort into your responses.

Doesn’t sext ❌

Put people in this category who have expressed that they’re not interested in sexting. Sexting is where you make money, and while it’s possible to sell customs to someone who doesn’t sext, you shouldn’t waste your time trying more than once.

Waiting for payday 📆

If someone has told you that they’ll spend money once their payday comes, put them in this category, and take note of when they say they’re getting paid. Don’t bug them before payday, but get in touch once they’ve been paid. 

Spends money but tries to chat for free 🙄

Place someone in this category if you notice they’re trying to get more than what they’re paying for. Don’t be shy to point out that they’re not tipping enough and that they won’t get your attention if they don’t shape up.

Threatening behavior ⛔

Any sort of threatening behavior is unacceptable. Cut off content with these fans.

How to categorize your OnlyFans subscribers

Start by talking to your fans about their interests so you can categorize them into niche content types. 

Keep track of their spending habits to identify the fans you really want to focus on—the whales, solid spenders, and random tippers. 

If you keep your categories up to date and focus on your best core fans, you can maximize your OnlyFans earnings!
