Introduction
Starting the ednevure into content creation can seem very terrifying at first and often
deters people. Many have the idea that you need a fancy camera and killer studio to
even make money creating content and while these things do help they are definitely
not needed at all. Below is a detailed guide that may help you finally start that content
site and start making money.

While this guide is here, it does not guarantee your success. All the success you
achieve will be by following what works for you and remembering that it may be slow at
times. It takes time to build a standing client base in any field, and this is no exception.

Please always use an alias at ALL times, do not include your legal name or your
location in any postings. Your safety is always the top priority.

What content do you wish to create?

Amanda Wright - OnlyFans Manager - wrightamanda501@gmail.com

The first step is to understand the type of content you wish to feature on your
content site. Here are some questions that may help you figure out what kind of content
you want to sell.
Do you want to stay vanilla or dive into the world of kink?

Are you only having lewds or will you be selling nudesa s well?

Do you want to focus on coupled content?

What are your best assets?

What part of your body do you love and cannot help but show off?

Do you want to focus primarily on foot related content?

Are you going for a girly vibe, a milf vibe, goth girlfriend or something else?

By figuring out what content you wish to create, you are able to ​DEFINE YOUR
MARKET​. Defining your market gives you the ability to cater to that specific market or
niche as well as use keywords that will cause them to be more responsive.

You can always allow your content to show your personality or you can create a whole
new persona and brand and run with it! Have fun always.

Finding the Right Content Site for You


Once you have defined your want to market your content towards, it is time to
find the right site that caters to you as a seller. Below is a comprehensive of multiple
content sites that are popular within the content creation community. Take a moment to
review it and see what site best fits your needs.

Highlighted is my recommended content sites.

AVN Stars:
Fees: 20 %

AVN stars is one of my favorite content sites available. The main feature
that makes AVN such a hotspot for content creators is the ​internal traffic​. Internal traffic
allows members to find your account via # or keywords! This allows your account to
grow exponentially and also allows you more time to create content as ​heavy​ marketing
tactics do not need to be used. AVN charged a 20% fee on all income made.
This site features the following:
● A paid wall for subscribers
● A free wall for followers
● Tipping on posts
● Weekly contests with cash prizes for top 10 winners
● A feed similar to twitter
● Internal traffic
● PPV Messaging
● Paid Block ( they need to pay to be unblocked)
● Homepage tips
● Post tips
● Free AVN merch
If you would like to join AVN stars, you can do so via ​this link

OnlyFans​:
Fees: 20%
It does one thing and it does it really well. It has all the basics you would
expect and the fees are low/average. What really makes it stand out is that new
features and improvements are added frequently. There’s detailed income statistics,
and promotional tools such as discounts & free trials. Pay-to-view messages are a great
extra feature that lets you send out videos & pictures for your subscribers to buy.
Additionally, fans can tip you directly through the platform; this also works well for
selling custom content. Anything you upload is automatically watermarked. Anytime
someone subscribes, unlocks a pay-to-view message, or tips, payment is added to your
pending balance; after 7 days these funds are moved to your current balance, which
can then be withdrawn. Payouts can be done by a variety of methods, and usually arrive
within 2 days, which is super convenient!
● PPV Messaging
● Free Wall with PPV posts
● Paid Subscriptions
● PPV messaging
● Post tips

Of course there are many other content sites that the ones described within this
document. These are simply just the sites that I personally recommended based on my
own prior experience within this profession.

Now that you have decided exactly what site you wish to use you can start building your
profile. Knowing your market helps you narrow down ‘key words’ that you can use within
posts to help excite clients and persuade them to further feature your content

Making Content
Once you have chosen your preferred content site, it is time to get that camera out and
start making some content. When you are making content here are some things that
you can try to keep in mind to maximize your profit.

Making content that caters towards a specific market can help narrow down what
exactly you want to do within your content. Remembering, you’re selling your ​brand​.
Defining your brand will help define your content. Let the inner you shine through and
have fun!

1. Lighting
Lighting is very important in creating content. Try to aim to have
natural light within your photos as this looks best on camera. There
are times when natural light is not available, and in times like these
I turn to my handy photography lights or ring lights. Ring lights and
photography lights both mimic natural sunlight
Try avoiding heavy shadows within the image unless you’re aiming
for this.

2. Background
Having a clean background in your photos can make or break an
image. Try to clean up your surroundings, and have a plain background
behind. However , it is not needed to have a ‘backdrop’ background. You
can also use photoshop to blur your background. To to this go to
selections > select subject > click CTRL + I > Go to Filters > Lens Blur

3. Posing
There are a variety of fun boudoir poses that can help accentuate
your body and best features. Here are the tips and tricks I try to
utilize.
Please take a moment to review ​this​ extensive posing guide.

Here are some more sources to help strike inspiration for your
content and posing for pictures.

12 Incredibly Sexy Boudoir Poses

4. Editing Photos
It is hard to always get the ​perfect s​ hot with the ​perfect l​ ighting.
When a photo is too gorgeous to delete and retake, Lightroom will
be your best friend. You can download lightroom for free via the
App Store on your phone. You can also purchase an adobe studio
membership which gives you access to not only lightroom but other
applications as well.

When editing photos to add a ‘magazine’ like feel I turn to


photoshop. Simple edits like using the doge tool (lightens areas)
and the burn tool (darkens areas) can make a dull image so much
brighter and add more definition to an image. I tend to use the
dodge and burn tool to help mimic natural contour/highlights of the
face to add more dimension to the image.

Below are several tutorials on skin smoothing and editing that can
be helpful for those who are new to photoshop.

Marketing Your Content


The most important part of creating content is getting the word out about said content.
Marketing your content is the only way you are going to be able to make money off of any sort
of content creation. By using sites such as AVN, marketing does not have to be as aggressive
due to the fact there is internal traffic. Internal traffic means that users can simply search up
hashtags or keywords to find your content and posts.

When having an OnlyFans, it is often recommended that you have a free and a paid page.
When having a free onlyfans, you can choose to have PPV posts as well. Luckily, sites such as
AVN allow content creators to have both a free and a paid wall. This helps drive customers to
follow. Once they follow, you can start converting them to paying clients.

Client Segmentation
Client segmentation is often utilized in all forms of marketing. It is the idea that you
create lists based on your clients ‘buyer journey’. A clients buyer journey is as follows: view
content >> decision to purchase >> purchase. My fans are categorized into groups based on
fetish, and if they tend to buy PPV content. If they buy PPV content, I also take note of what
kind of PPV content they tend to buy. This helps me send ​the right message at the right time,​
catching the attention of the customer as well as applying a targeted approach to have a more
probable chance of them purchasing a PPV.
Utilizing segmentation will minimize the amount of unread PPV you send out, and the
fact that sending everyone the same exact PPV mass message will make the customer feel like
they are just another dollar to you (which they are but they do not need to know that).
Creating a human-like interaction by sending PPV messages to people based on fetsh or what
kind of content they tend to purchase, you can maximise sales in a whole new way.​1

Where do I market my content?
There are many places online in which you can market your content. The first
place to start is making a NSFW twitter.

The Do and Don'ts of A NSFW Twitter


- Always use an alias that is NOT similar or close to your real name
- Do not use # - this will result in a shadowban. Instead, you can
create your post , go down a couple lines and add a sting of
keywords such as (onlyfans free only fans etc)
- Engage with other models- they are your coworkers, not your
competition
After you have created your NSFW twitter be sure to post at least 3-4 times a
day. Tagging rt accounts that prioritize in promoting peoples only fans will help gain exposure.

This is a VERY IMPORTANT ASPECT

There are also sites such as Omegle oe FetLife that can be utilized to advertise your content.

Many content creators also refer to instagram to advertise their content. Remembering, when
advertising on any platform be sure to keep the images to ‘sneak peaks’ instead of what you
post to your content site. You want to lure the client in without sacrificing your income.

Taxes
The following applies to those in the UNITED STATES.

In this section I am using Onlyfans as the reference site, this however applies to any content site you are generating
revenue from.

As you start to earn money through onlyfans, or any content site you need to keep in mind that if
you are making over 10,000$ you will need to pay taxes on your earnings. Please note the
following information is to help you better understand what that entails. This is not any sort of
legal advice and I recommended talking to your accountant or tax consultant before making any
choices.

As an ​OnlyFans ​creator, you are ​NOT ​an employee of ​OnlyFans​. Instead, you are a sole
proprietor , similar to a freelancer. So what does this mean? This means, at the end of the year
you will not receive a w-2 form, instead you will be receiving a 1099NEC that will reflect your
total income from ​OnlyFans​ paid in box 1.

Amanda Wright - OnlyFans Manager - wrightamanda501@gmail.com


13

Estimated Taxes
When making money on ​OnlyFans,​ the income you receive during your payouts is not
taxed. This means, you will have to estimate taxes yourself. Estimated income taxes are due
quarterly and on the following dates: April 15th, June 15th, September 15th, January 15th.

W-9 Forms

When creating an ​OnlyFans​ account, you will be asked to fill out a W-9 Form.

Some of you may never have filed a tax return before, so this entire process can be very
intimidating. But I want you to relax and realize that you definitely can handle filling out this form
and getting your OnlyFans business up and running right away.

IMPORTANT NOTE: You don’t have to form a company such as an LLC or a corporation
to start your OnlyFans business. 99% of my OnlyFans clients are sole proprietors and are
filing their businesses using their name and social security numbers. This also means
you don’t have to get a Federal Employer ID Number from the IRS. You will use your
social security number as your business ID number.

So let’s look at the W-9 together.

Line One and Two

Fill out Line 1 with your full name. If you have formed a corporation or LLC put
the name of your LLC on Line 2. If this does not apply to you, leave it blank.

Line Three

Now looking at Line or Box 3, most of you will check the first box, which says
individual, sole proprietor or single member LLC. So, if you didn’t form a company you would
check the first box.

Line Four

Most will skip as it deals with exemptions

Line Five and Six

Fill out your mailing address here.

Line Seven

Amanda Wright - OnlyFans Manager - wrightamanda501@gmail.com


14

Skip Line 7

Requester’s Name and Address

Most will skip.

PART 1
Now just below Line 7 you’ll see something that says Part 1. This is where you will give
either your social security number or you will give a Federal ID number if you did form a
separate company.

Do not give both a social security number and a federal ID number here. The vast majority of
you, who did not form a separate company, will simply put your social security number in that
space provided.

PART 2
Sign and date the form in Part 2 and then you are done!

Getting Paid With Content Sites


Most content sites allow the option for direct deposit. ​My advice is to create a ​brand new
checking account​ and give that information to OnlyFans. You do not want to give OnlyFans
the banking information for the main bank account you’re using right now to pay your personal
bills.
You will use this new bank account to take in your ​OnlyFans​ income and also use it to
make business related purchases.
You should only allow your content site available to make deposits into this account as
to protect any and all funds in your primary bank account.

Now that you are getting paid from ​OnlyFans,​ remember you are not their employee, you
are your own business and brand. This means you can write off your expenses for your content,
so keep ALL OF YOUR RECEIPTS.

Tax Write Offs

Below you can find a list of some of the expenses you can write off . Remember, anything that
you spend money on that relates to your OnlyFans business can be deducted. You want to
keep track of this and that is another good reason why having that separate checking account is
a great idea.

You’re OnlyFans income will come into that separate checking account and then use that
money to pay your business expenses. Then transfer the net money left over into your regular
personal account. This makes it easier to write off any and all expenses.

Do not pay personal expenses out of this business account. Transfer money to your personal
account and pay personal bills out of there.

Amanda Wright - OnlyFans Manager - wrightamanda501@gmail.com


16

It is Tax Season - Now What

Many content creators choose to fill out a form Schedule C, Profit or Loss from A Business and
include that on their form 1044 tax return.

So your income will be shown at the top and your various expenses will be shown in the middle
part of the form. You will pay income tax and self-employment tax on the net income shown on
your Schedule C.

Amanda Wright - OnlyFans Manager - wrightamanda501@gmail.com


17

SELF-EMPLOYMENT TAX

Your OnlyFans net income will be subject to ordinary tax as well as self-employment tax. This is
something that people often miss and so their tax bills are higher than they expected.

Self-employment tax is how business owners pay their FICA tax. Many of you who have had
jobs before have seen FICA taxes taken out of your paychecks. Social Security and Medicare
Taxes are what comprise FICA tax. When you’re self-employed you also have to pay this. FICA
tax is 15.3% of your net income and this is in addition to your ordinary taxes that you pay.

It is extremely important that you put aside money every time that you are paid by OnlyFans so
you can pay your estimated taxes later. Again, the money that you receive from OnlyFans is not
the amount of the money you have available to spend on your personal expenses.

It is vital that you have a good CPA working with you to make sure your accounting gets done
on a monthly basis and also that your estimated taxes are calculated during the year.

It is very important that you realize that you can’t wait to pay the taxes that you owe until April
15th. Self-employed people with their own businesses need to pay their taxes quarterly during
the year. If you don’t pay taxes that way, and you wait to pay when you file your tax returns,
then you’ll be subject to penalties and interest for late payment.

DOCUMENT RETENTION
I want to give you some document retention advice.

1. Save all of your business records for 7 years.


2. Take your time! For many of you this might be the first time you’re filling out paperwork
like this. But don’t be intimidated you can definitely handle it.
3. Be sure to save copies of everything either in PDF form in a directory on your computer
or in paper form in a folder. Remember that you can print many screens in your browser
window to PDFs. This is called a paper trail and when in doubt save as many
applications and other online documents that you can as PDFs.
4. You should save important emails that you are sending or receiving from OnlyFans as
PDFs as well or print them out and save them in a special folder.
5. You also want to keep copies of all of your receipts for all of your business expenses that
you’re going to have.
6. Keep pdf copies or paper copies of all of your business bank statements and be sure to
also have copies of all checks that you have written.

Amanda Wright - OnlyFans Manager - wrightamanda501@gmail.com


18

INSURANCE
I do advise everyone to get some business insurance. You should speak to an insurance agent
and get a simple business owner’s policy just to protect yourself from commercial and business
liabilities such as charge backs or the possibility of your product or pictures being used by
others.

OnlyFans TOS (TERMS OF SERVICE)


I urge all OnlyFans creators to print and read the OnlyFans TOS (Terms of Service). You have
to agree to these in order to create an account. TOS are usually very restrictive and slanted and
biased against you. You may also want an attorney to review the TOS with you.

Conclusion
All in all, your success is entirely up to you. Being patient is the best advice I can give
you and remember it does take time. It may take a while to find what content you want to create
and what niche you fit in to if any. Everyday is a chance to make your content more ​you. ​Always
remember that you do what makes you comfortable, do not do something that makes you
unhappy or doesnt feel authentic to you.

Customers want to see the real you shine through in your pictures, have a personality and never
settle for less than you deserve. Over time and dedication, you can truly make waves within this
industry, regardless of sexual orientation, colour of your skin or any other factors that you think
may stand in your way.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope that you are successful in your endeavors.

Please reach out if you are in need of a OnlyFans manager and marketing expert. My rates are
considerate but can be arranged to be lowered if needed.
