Do not include nudity in your profile picture or cover photo!

Fansly has the following listed under “Prohibited Uses” in their TOS:

Without our express prior written authorization, you will not: use of graphic nudity in profile avatars and banners.

Since there’s no way to know what Fansly considers “graphic”, it’s best to avoid nudity in general. You can see if they blur any of your media including your profile picture and cover photo by viewing your profile on an incognito browser as a logged out user.

Bio’s that do not require users to click “read more” do better!

My Bachelor’s in Web Design and Development taught me that the average website viewer is impatient and will not read anything that is more than a few sentences. Hell- even a full 8 sentence paragraph will be left unread by the average viewer which makes porn viewers even more impatient. Sweet and to the point. The only time you should be lengthy and detailed is when describing your porn in that media’s specific post!

Also- don’t forget to link your Twitter, Bluesky, Instagram, and TikTok in your profile!

When editing your profile, you can link the above social media accounts by entering your username for each one. Doing so will not only allow those on Fansly to follow you there, but it will tell anyone on that social media platform that your account is legit. Here is my bio that also shows how your linked social media accounts display:

Don’t overwork yourself by promising too many things to your subscribers!

Limit benefits that require you to give specific attention to someone to your most expensive tier. You should also limit the number of subscribers allowed on said tier if you’re offering custom content and sexting sessions or physical items like prints or stickers.

You can pee on Fansly! But- you still can’t show blood.

While Fansly is more inclusive in some areas (you can pee and be pissed on but no consumption), it’s still unable to host blood content of any kind, scat, vomit, and more. You can read their full list of prohibited content below which I copy and pasted from their TOS:

Without our express prior written authorization, you will not: post, upload, or share content that depicts, advertises, promotes, encourages, facilitates, or solicits (real, simulated, or implied) (i) sexual activity involving minors; (ii) incest; (iii) bestiality; (iv) violence, kidnapping, rape, lack of consent, hypnosis, intoxication, sexual assault, torture, sadomasochistic abuse or hardcore bondage, weapons (unless obviously fake), asphyxiation, extreme fisting, or genital mutilation; (v) necrophilia; (vi) consumption of urine; (vii) blood, scatological, vomit, excrement-related content or prolapsing; (viii) age-play or suggestion of underage participants, (ix) illegal prostitution or human trafficking, whether explicitly or by use of any slang, acronyms, or abbreviations; (x) “revenge porn”, defined as any User Content containing any individual who has not consented to that User Content (a) being taken, captured, or otherwise memorialized, or (b) being posted, uploaded, or shared on Fansly; (xi) illegal or illicit drugs; (xii) suicide or self-harm; (xiii) any other illegal behavior or behavior that may be considered obscene under applicable law.

Offer a variation of prices across your tiers!

Not many are willing to pay $10+ on a subscription they aren’t sure they will like. To increase your chances of getting even single time subscribers, include multiple tiers starting at the least amount of benefits being at the lowest $5 (so you can still set it on sale for $3 as that’s the lowest possible), and depending on how much your most expensive tier is- two or more tiers in-between slowly going up in price with equally valued benefits. Here are my tiers and their benefits on my own Fansly as an example:

You are completely welcome to use my tiers for yourself as well since they are so basically worded. Copy and paste it, I don’t care! However- I advise to instead write it yourself in your style so it reads like you.

If your feed is accessible by non-followers, you should have an pinned introduction post!

Include at least one picture of yourself that really sums up your vibe that you’re comfortable having free and your specific niche keywords as hashtags. Other creators can share this post on their own page as way to share for share and it helps you get found organically by new Fansly users.

Pin a poll to your feed asking how they found you!

Create a post asking “how did find you find me here?” and add a poll with each of the social medias you’re on as options. This will help you learn where you are getting new followers and/or subscribers from the most in order to focus on that platform more than the others. Here’s a screenshot of the pinned post with the poll on my own Fansly as an example:

Do not set previews for content that are free!

Cloning the image as a preview and not adding censors makes it look like if they “unlock” it they will see something not already shown. As long as the media’s permission settings are left blank, it will show without a preview set.

Here’s an example of a post I have on my Fansly that contained free pictures but had the lock on it as if it contained uncensored content if unlocked. I edited the original media’s permission settings to be blank in order to remove it- easy peasy.

To ensure your free content doesn’t show up with a lock icon on top of it, use the screenshot below as a guide:

Separate your media in multiple posts if possible!

If you average less than 20 media per set, consider posting them in separate posts with each post having a max of four media. This ensures every single one of your images/videos are seen as many will not click on a post and scroll through each one. It also shows more activity and translates to “more content” in the eyes of a viewer compared to one post with 20 pictures but only the first four are visible to them.

Add a preview to all visible media in each post!

A gray rectangle isn’t enticing. Pixelate or 80% blur at least the first four media in each of your posts. Is 80% not enough? You can double them up by saving the preview, clicking out, then clicking back into it to add another layer of blur at any percentage!

Below is a before and after of one of my own Fansly posts I didn’t include a preview when I originally posted it. I edited it to have one just now to show you how a blurred image over a gray rectangle really changes a lot! You can do this yourself to all your existing posts by adding your media to the post again from your vault (it can be a pain to find if you haven’t organized it) and resetting the preview.

If what you’re creating a preview for is a video, select a short segment of it (preferably one that does not include nudity) to set as the preview uncensored. If you’re unable to find a segment without nudity and have the ability to, edit the segment to be blurred or pixelated to suit your boundaries.

Avoid using emojis to censor your previews!

Using emojis to censor is a huge turn off for buyers as they can perceive it as “tacky”! I suggest sticking to pixelating or blurring to avoid possibly missing out on subscribers.

Do not use fancy fonts in your captions! Even if it’s just bold!

Unfortunately, fancy fonts are not read by screen readers or search engines like normal text because they count as “mathematical” symbols. This means that anyone that searches Fansly will not pull up your posts and anyone who uses screen readers will be unable to handle your posts because it sounds atrocious!

Use #hashtags that describe the content in each post!

Turn keywords in your descriptions of your porn into hashtags and add any other keywords related to the content in that post at the end of the description. Ensure they are all relevant to the content in that specific post and limit the amount to 13 since the developers have said that using 15+ hashtags per post will ruin your search.

Here are a couple screenshots of a Fansly developer’s replies to questions regarding hashtags and the For You Page.

Here is a reel posted by Fansly’s Instagram on the For You Page:

Here’s an example of a caption with hashtags from my own Fansly:

A horny #solstice #elf oils up her #piercednipples and teases herself by rubbing them and even putting a #vibrator on them before using a #glasstoy shaped like a candy cane to fuck her ass till she cums! 🧝🏻‍♀️💋 #anal #hairypussy #hairypits #smalltits #allnatural #makeup

Be descriptive! Save the vague captions for previews/teasers on social media only.

Ignore the “Show More” notice and be as descriptive as possible! The longer the video or the larger the photo set, the longer the description should be. Be careful not to get them off from the description alone, we don’t want that, but give them a well summarized version of what they can expect if they unlock or subscribe. Sometimes the preview you have set just isn’t enough and that’s just because some are like reading descriptions more than seeing snippets. Here’s another example from my own Fansly:

I strip for you slowly, unbuttoning my nightgown button by button. Teasing you with my natural perky pierced tits a bit before standing to remove my briefs, revealing my long and luscious bush. While rubbing my clit I show off my cute feet and toes, smiling because I know you love to see them- hehe. I moan so loud as I finish using my vibrator and then show you a close up of my spread pretty and pink hairy pussy. 💋 #vibrator #striptease #nightgown #hairypussy #orgasm #moaning #pussyspreading #feet #toes #piercednipples #smalltits #allnatural

Did you ask a teasing question in your caption? Add a poll!

This allows you to show examples of comments you like to see on your content as well as a chance for your more shy followers/subscribers to interreact with you with a simple click instead of typing out a response. Here’s an example from my own Fansly:
