I’m Kayla. I’m 28. I make TikToks. I also run an OnlyFans. Yes, I’m an adult, and yes, I set clear rules for myself. I lay out even more nitty-gritty screenshots in this extended breakdown if numbers are your love language.
This is my real take. The wins. The headaches. The money. The human stuff in between.
Why I tried it (and how I felt)
I had a steady TikTok. Fun little GRWM clips. Hair. Gym. Cozy fits. A little sass. People kept asking for “more.” At first, I rolled my eyes. Then rent went up. You know what? I tried it. (If you want the 30,000-foot view of why creators jump into the adult lane at all, my year-long honest take on adult social media spells out what finally pushes most of us over the edge.)
I promised myself three things:
- I keep control.
- I keep it legal and safe.
- I don’t burn out.
I stuck to that. Mostly.
The funnel, but make it friendly
Fancy word, simple idea: move people from TikTok to my OF page.
For a step-by-step, data-backed playbook on turning casual scrollers into paying subscribers, this complete marketing strategy guide dives deep.
Here’s the thing. TikTok doesn’t love adult stuff. So I used a link hub (I used Beacons first, then Linktree when Beacons lagged). I wrote “link in bio” and used “OF” or a peach emoji instead of the full name in captions. That kept me from getting flagged.
Real example from June:
- I posted a “Get Ready With Me” in a pink set. Clean. No shock value.
- Caption: “Full set? It’s Friday. You know where. 🍑”
- Views: 312,000
- Bio link clicks: 2,340
- Subs that day: 118
- Price: $12
- Conversion: about 5%
- Notes: I boosted comments by replying to 20 DMs with “check bio.” Simple.
Not every video hits. One silly lip sync got 40k views, 19 subs. That still paid my phone bill. (If you’re mapping out other NSFW platforms side-by-side with TikTok, my no-filter year-in-review on seven spicy sites breaks down the traffic I saw everywhere else.)
Pricing: what felt fair (and what backfired)
I tested three setups:
- $15 base, no trial: too slow for me. People lurked.
- $10 base + 7-day trial: high volume, but more churn.
- $12 base + 50% off for 30 days on weekends: best mix.
What I settled on:
- Base: $12/month
- Promo: $6 for 30 days, Fridays only
- Bundles: 3 months for $27
- Pay-per-view (PPV) in DMs: $9–$25 for special sets
- Tips: I say thank you with a little bonus photo. Nothing explicit. Just kind.
Real money snapshot:
- First month: $1,480 (I screamed, then I got quiet)
- Best month: $6,320 (three vids went viral; I barely slept)
- Average now: $3,100–$3,400
- Time spent: 10–14 hours/week
Is it “quit your job” money? Sometimes. But it swings. That’s real.
Content plan that didn’t get me banned
TikTok is SFW. Safe for work. Cute, funny, flirty, but within rules. OF is the paid wall, so more bold, but still me.
My weekly flow:
- TikTok: 2–3 posts/day, light edits in CapCut, soft lighting, bouncy music
- OF feed: daily posts, 1 short video + 2–3 photos
- OF DMs: 1 PPV drop every other day, like a “date night set”
- Live: Sunday chats, 30 minutes, chill Q&A
- Boundaries: no explicit live. No face without makeup when I’m sick. Sounds silly, but it helps me feel in control.
Little tricks that helped:
- Watermarks on everything (my handle in tiny letters)
- Shoot in batches on one day; schedule the rest
- Notes app for caption ideas
- Canva for simple covers
- Lightroom for color pop (soft warm tone looks friendly)
What works on TikTok, actually
Yes, trends. But also watch time. Keep clips short. 7–11 seconds hits for me.
Good hook lines I use:
- “POV: you thought I’d wear beige again.”
- “GRWM but I’m late and I won’t fake it.”
- “Is this too much for brunch?”
Real mini-case:
- Trend: “NPC stream” joke, but clean
- Post time: 6:15 pm
- Hook: “I finally tried the NPC thing. Be nice.”
- 220k views
- 71 subs that night
What got me shadow-blocked once:
- Too much skin in a mirror clip. I covered with a jacket next time.
- Also, never type the full platform name in the video text. It got flagged fast.
DMs: where most money came from
I set a warm auto-welcome message. Then I answer real messages myself. I don’t try to be a robot.
My template:
- “Hey! Thanks for being here. I post daily. If you want a themed set, tell me color + vibe. I’ll be honest if I can’t do it.”
PPV example that landed well:
- “Sunday Cozy Set” — 12 photos + 1 short clip
- Price: $12
- Sent to 850 active subs
- Opens: 66%
- Buys: 31%
- Net after fees: about $2,200
(Meanwhile, the classic “trade nudes on Snap” hustle never paid the same; I wrote a blunt post on that experiment if you’re curious.)
I cap customs. I say no when I need to. That saved my brain.
Safety, taxes, and the boring stuff that matters
- ID check: OnlyFans makes you verify. Good.
- Geo-blocking: I blocked my home state. Small town, big mouth.
- Watermarks + takedowns: I filed two DMCA claims. Both worked.
- Banking: I use a separate account. So I don’t mix rent money with ad-hoc tips.
- Taxes: I set aside 30%. I’m not playing with the IRS. I track with a simple spreadsheet and Wave.
- Random lesson: I fell down the Snapchat user-finder rabbit hole once and learned quick how to lock my account settings tighter.
Community mood: it’s real people
Some days I feel like a friend with a camera. Some days, a wall. I set hours. I take days off. I tell people when I’m gone. Most folks are kind. A few test lines. Block. Breathe. Keep going.
Tiny note: I don’t do freebies “to prove it.” My page is my work. I share teasers on feed, but I don’t chase guilt tips.
Tools I leaned on
- CapCut for edits (it’s fast)
- Canva for covers and banners
- Lightroom Mobile for color
- Notes app for scripts
- OnlyFans Insights for stats (churn, retention)
- Beacons or Linktree for the bio hub
- I also tested a handful of “spicier” networks—my full messy spreadsheet is here if you want the tea
To nudge casual visitors into actually clicking through, I embedded a little heart graphic from LikeButton on my link hub, and the playful tap-to-like animation weirdly boosted my click-throughs by a few percent. If you want to see how every hop—from TikTok profile to bio link to premium wall—fits together in practice, this TikTok-to-OnlyFans pipeline breakdown maps it out in plain English.
My KPIs, but said simple:
- CTR (click rate from TikTok bio): good for me is 1–2%
- Conversion (clicks to subs): 3–6% when I run promos
- Churn (people leaving): 15–22% month to month
- LTV (value per sub over time): around $28–$36 with PPV
Numbers help, but feelings matter too.
A week in my life (one real week)
- Monday: batch shoot 2 hours, schedule posts
- Tuesday: gym fit GRWM on TikTok; 29 subs
