OnlyFans Promotion
Definition
An OnlyFans promo is a temporary discount on the subscription price to attract new fans. OnlyFans allows promos of up to -100% (free subscription for a period). Promos are a powerful acquisition lever, but they need to be used strategically: the goal is to convert promo subscribers into PPV buyers.
Concrete example
A creator launches a -50% promo for 7 days (subscription at $4.99 instead of $9.99). They gain 150 new fans. Chatting kicks in right away to turn these promo fans into PPV buyers before the end of their first month.
Best practices
Use promos to drive volume, then monetize through chatting/PPV. Prepare specific sales scripts for "promo fans" (they are more price sensitive). Limit promos over time to create urgency. Do not run promos too often (it devalues the content).
Key figures
Increase in new subscribers during a promo: x3 to x10. Post-promo retention rate: 20-40 % (lower than full-price subscribers). Positive ROI if chatting is effective.
Common mistakes
Running promos over and over without chatting behind them. You acquire fans who spend nothing and do not renew.
