The field of art has been undergoing a major shift for several years now, mainly due to the rise of social networks and various streaming platforms, which provide a good way for artists to promote their work. But this expansion has also brought different activities under the umbrella of art, although it’s a debate that still needs to mature. We’re referring to the well-known content creators or influencers, who offer many options to their fans—not necessarily through music but through different kinds of posts.
Adult content has grown significantly within this context, and nowadays it’s very common for different people to want to create their own to share with their followers or potential fans. The truth is that on social networks this was quite difficult, because although a large part of the content could indeed be shared, another good portion was left out due to restrictions and censorship—such as rules about nudity or prohibited posts.
That’s why we mention that many platforms specific to the field began to emerge, allowing these influential personalities to share their posts with people who are truly interested in viewing them. Besides the advantage of centralizing and organizing everything on one website, these platforms also make it possible to monetize the content, since people who want to subscribe to this fan club or to a particular profile have to pay a monthly fee.
Among all the options on the market today, one of the most important is FanCentro, which was created in 2017 and has grown very rapidly since its launch. It has a particular feature: subscriptions can be monthly per profile, but you can also pay a higher one-time amount and have a lifetime subscription to that account. Many wonder whether this is really a good alternative, so in this article we’ll lay out its features in detail so everyone is aware. We’ll also make a comparison to clarify the differences between Onlyfans and FanCentro, so everyone knows which is the better option when creating an account.
What is FanCentro?
FanCentro is an online platform with two types of users: the content creator and the viewer. The former has the ability to create content through different formats: videos, photos, page clips, tips, private messages, among others. The user with a viewer profile has to pay a monthly fee for each account they subscribe to, and only that way can they access the posts.
Unlike other similar sites such as ModelCentro—where artists can create their own websites to share content—on FanCentro everything is created on the same platform, and no external tools are needed to create the posts or products you want to sell.
This website is used specifically by adults, and this is important because if you are a minor you won’t be able to create an account—not even with a viewer profile. For artists or influencers it’s a very good way to earn money through their posts, and although most users use it to watch or upload erotic content, what’s considered “for adults” is much broader.
How to make money with FanCentro
Something many people who are about to start monetizing their content ask is how much money can I make with FanCentro. The truth is that it depends greatly on each artist, since they are the ones who set the prices (although there is a minimum and a maximum established by the platform). The content is sold to users through “perks,” a feature through which the end user subscribes not only to the artist’s profile on the platform but also to their profiles on different social networks.
Influencers have the chance to set up different subscription offers, making it very clear what the prices are for each and when the offer ends. However, a good option some use is to create free subscription offers for a set period of time, to attract users who will then start paying monthly to keep enjoying the profile. These offers must specify the name, the billing period, the billing mode, and a brief description so the viewer knows what they are getting.
Another feature that can increase revenue is tipping. This is a tab where the user can pay an extra amount in addition to the monthly subscription, in order to help the artist grow and motivate them to create even more content. Although it may seem unusual, it’s a feature that has worked very well, as many people are willing to pay extra to receive more content.
Which is better, Onlyfans or FanCentro? A comparison
If we want to make a comparison between Onlyfans and FanCentro to see which is the better option, we can consider different factors, since not all users prioritize the same things and the analysis ends up being entirely subjective. That’s why we’ll differentiate point by point for each variable, so each person can focus on what matters most to them and make the best possible decision based on that.
Payments
In terms of payments there are several points to consider, but the first thing we should analyze is the commission each platform pays out from subscriptions. In that respect they are equal, as both offer an 80% commission to artists—that is, the sites keep the remaining 20%.
However, FanCentro’s advantage here is that it supports different payout methods, making it much more flexible. Each method has a minimum amount, and this is clearly established in the terms of use presented before you enroll. The available methods are: check, bank transfer, Paxum, PERO, SEPA, USDT Tron/TRC20 network, and USDT Ethereum/ERC20 network.
One downside of FanCentro is that payouts are made only on Tuesdays, but beyond that we can conclude it offers a bit more flexibility than Onlyfans.
Possibility of being promoted
This is a very important point, because for people who are just beginning to create and share their content, it’s crucial that it be distributed and that more and more people gain access to it. This is quite complicated on Onlyfans for several reasons. The first is that it’s a fully consolidated platform that already has millions of artists posting their products, so there’s much more competition. The second is that it does not have a search function that allows viewers to find accounts of interest (the only way is for it to appear on the home page through the algorithm).
In this regard, FanCentro has some qualities that make it a better option, such as the platform’s affiliate program, which gives users the chance to promote themselves by linking their account with their social-media profiles. Also, since it’s a less ubiquitous platform, there’s not as much competition, and it’s more likely that viewers who visit can find your channel and subscribe. End users can also earn commission by promoting their favorite artists, which gives us even more opportunities to be promoted.
Customer support
If we’re going to partner with a company like this and our main goal is to earn money, we need a way to contact someone at the company whenever an issue arises (which, as we know, is very common with virtual platforms). This is a point where Onlyfans has received a lot of criticism in recent years: some artists have filed complaints and were not satisfied with the responses (in some cases, they didn’t receive any response at all). This isn’t surprising, since it’s an extremely massive platform, which makes supporting so many users more complicated.
FanCentro, for its part, has support that really stands out. They have a live chat so users can ask whatever they want, and there are always people attending to us and guiding us as needed. There’s also a Training area—or what they call training staff—that gives us tips on how to maximize our earnings.
Different ways to earn money
Although Onlyfans is an extremely established platform, it has fallen somewhat behind in some features, and today the ways to earn money are fewer compared to other platforms. Currently, options include revenue from: creating custom content for fans, referral programs, tips, one-time pay-per-message, and monthly subscriptions.
On FanCentro, by contrast, we have other alternatives such as: tips, live streams, monthly subscription walls, sale of page clips, pay-per-message, premium Snapchat management, among many others.
For this reason, FanCentro also proves better in this respect, as influencers have more alternatives when it comes to strategies to implement. For example, if we see that monthly subscriptions aren’t working the way we want, we can start selling page clips or offering private messages and see whether that approach brings success.
Conclusions
If we read the entire article and comparison, we might conclude that FanCentro is a better alternative than Onlyfans—although we believe it’s difficult to make that statement categorically. There are some areas where Onlyfans is better positioned and others where FanCentro has the edge.
What we can highlight is that if we’re just starting out and want to run a test, FanCentro may be a better option, since there will be less competition on the platform and more chances to be discovered. In addition, it offers greater flexibility in payments and more options when building content strategies.
If, on the other hand, we are already well known on social media and believe we’ve built an audience, Onlyfans is a platform that may offer greater visibility and can help us consolidate quickly.
