Instagram can be utilised to showcase enticing teasers and promotional images before directing your audience to see more explicit content on your Fawnstars or OnlyFans account. Instagram reels can also be utilised to ensure you appear in more people’s feeds and that your content is engaging for your audience.

TikTok

TikTok can still be utilised to reach a larger audience. Shorter clips hinting towards your more explicit content will encourage users to click through and find out more. It’s also a great platform to let your personality shine.

Threads

​​Although it’s a new platform, it’s extremely fast growing and its current popularity suggests this could be the next big thing. Getting in there soon will help you become a big name on a new platform before other creators beat you to it.

• Leave thoughtful and respectful comments on competitors' posts, showcasing your interest in the niche. Remember, your comment is bringing them engagement too.

Promoting your kink to gain subscribers

Finding your niche or kink can help set you apart from others in a saturated market. This can help subscribers choose you over another creator and lead to more loyal and engaged audiences.

Having a tailored niche can even help with collaborative opportunities, as other creators may want to expand their audience base and get you on board.
