If we’re talking about adult content platforms, we have to focus on the one that was—and still is—the pillar of the field. We’re talking about Onlyfans, which continues to grow to incredible levels and at a striking pace, even though more and more competitors are emerging to try to take a bit of market share. Some services like FanCentro, MYM, or AVN Stars are also positioning themselves very well and attracting a large number of participating artists. However, the numbers Onlyfans has reached seem unattainable, and this is because it is a much more consolidated tool over time, with many renowned artists maintaining profiles.
The big difference between Onlyfans and the other platforms will surely continue to exist, at least for a few more years. This is because it is a tool much better suited for artists who are relatively established in the scene, since the site allows them to gain even more visibility and make the most of the fan base they already bring with them. For models who are just starting their careers, by contrast, the platform is somewhat complicated for achieving the exposure needed, due to the large amount of competition. In addition, other sites like AVN Stars or FanCentro are better prepared for starting from the bottom and beginning to gain fans—for example, through the search function.
Nevertheless, many artists—despite just beginning—still choose Onlyfans as their platform and risk not having the visibility needed at that stage. For them, there are some tools or tips within Onlyfans to help gain as many subscribers as possible, which can lead to higher earnings than they currently have. One of the most interesting actions to take in this regard is to create a free link so that viewers can access the content without having to pay the monthly subscription. The idea is that they can enjoy it for a while without paying and then start paying afterward. In this article we will provide all the details so you can consider it as an option.
What is Onlyfans’ free trial link?
As we already know, fans have to pay a monthly fee for each profile they want to view on Onlyfans. Although the amounts can vary quite a bit depending on the artist, in economically challenging times it isn’t easy to get someone to pay to see our content. The user wants to be sure they like what they’re going to pay for, and that’s the most complicated part because if the profile is paid, they can only see the description and the main photo.
That’s why there are different alternatives to improve the conversion rate, and one of them is to generate a free trial link. This means giving users the chance to view the content without paying, with the aim of attracting them so that at some point they do start subscribing by paying the previously stipulated monthly amount. In other words, it would be a kind of free subscription, with the caveat that it doesn’t last forever because it has a set duration. This duration is also set in advance, as is the number of redemptions that can be made. It’s important to mention that the same link cannot be redeemed more than once per user, so the viewer should take advantage of it when it’s available.
It’s a strategy we highly recommend on this website, especially because many models experienced in the topic have managed to substantially increase their number of subscriptions thanks to this method. Below we’ll focus on how to generate the free trial link so everyone knows how it can be done.
How to create a free trial link on Onlyfans
Being able to generate the link for fans to subscribe for free is not only feasible but also a very simple process. Below, we’ll detail the step-by-step so there’s no doubt and everyone knows how to do it.
Step 1: Go to the Promotions section
The first thing we need to do is go to our profile and specifically to the tab that says Promotions, located between Statements and Your Cards.
Step 2: Free trial links
Once we’re in the Promotions section, we’ll find the Promotional campaigns area, where we’ll see text that says Free trial links. Click the arrow there, and then press the button that says Create new free trial.
Step 3: Configure the trial link options
This is the longest and most important step because this is where many key aspects of the link are configured. Here we detail them point by point and offer some tips:
- Offer limit: in this option we can define how many people can use the link before it expires, so that not everyone can access for free but rather there’s a cap. From our perspective, we recommend leaving it without a limit, which you can do. If at any time we see that the number of people using the link is higher than we expected, we can simply delete it.
- Trial duration: This is quite relative since it depends a lot on each artist. You can set the trial for just one day, for a week, or for a month. A day may be too little for the viewer to appreciate all our content and thus subscribe, and a month may be too much since they could enjoy it without paying a dollar. The most sensible thing is to strike a balance between these two extremes, or try different links and durations to see which one works best.
- Expiration: This point is very similar to the first, as it refers to the time window during which a user can claim this link. We also recommend setting it with no expiration date so that everyone can access it, and when we decide we want to charge for it, we can remove it.
