Let’s Break Down How You’re Made to Pay for Nothing When Buying GG OnlyFans
Everyone’s talking about GG Promo getting more expensive while its ROI drops. But the reality is much worse. Free Trial Link forces you to overpay for fans by two, sometimes even three times. For instance, when you buy 600 followers for $600, you actually end up with only 300-400 fans. And if you purchase promo from the same model again, you might only get 100-150.
In this article, we’ll break down the mechanics of calculating fans through FTL, explain how to stop paying for nothing, and show you why buying GG promo through OnlyTraffic is the smarter choice.
Why the Promo Market Is Failing and How It Actually Works
GG Promo has been one of the go-to methods for attracting paying subscribers. Fans from other models’ pages already have accounts with linked cards and are comfortable paying for content.
While highly effective before 2022, the quality of subscribers has since become a common concern. Many are either bots or fans unwilling to spend money.
The GG Promo market largely operates through social media groups and chats, which act like classified boards with offers from models, listing fan numbers and prices.
New subscribers are tracked using different types of links, each with its own advantages and disadvantages:
- Free Trial Link: A link offering a free trial subscription.
- Discount Link: A link providing a discount on a paid subscription.
- Paid Subscription Link: A direct link to a paid subscription, requiring fans to pay upfront to access content.
- Direct Link to a Free Page: A link leading to a free page, with the goal of converting fans to paid subscriptions later. The downside is that campaign performance cannot be tracked, making it unsuitable for GG promo.
Agencies and OnlyFans models most often use Free Trial Links when buying traffic because they make subscribing easier and more appealing for new fans, which increases conversion rates.
These links can be created in unlimited quantities, and most importantly, they provide access to performance statistics.
The only downside? When buying GG promo, you end up paying about 20-25% for nothing.
On various platforms, streaming sites, and online stores, different promo links are also used, but they can usually be applied only once, unlike on OnlyFans.
Here, a fan can activate an unlimited number of different Free Trial Link. However, every time they activate a new link, they will appear as a "new subscriber" in the counter. As a result, at the end of the promo campaign, it’s impossible to know for sure how many real new fans actually subscribed.
Nonetheless, everyone in the industry has accepted this reality, as there are no more effective alternatives to the Free Trial Link. Everyone, except us.
Real Fans or Duplicates: How OnlyTraffic Counts Subscribers
When we launched the buying and selling of GG promos on our platform, we knew we’d need to dive deep into the data. By analyzing and cross-checking transactions, we uncovered some key insights about this type of traffic. Turns out, only about 50-80% of the fans shown in Free Trial Link stats are actual new subscribers. But the rest are already-subscribed fans who reactivated the free trial link.
Here’s a real case study to break it down. In one GG promo campaign using an Free Trial Link, the stats reported 272 new fan subscriptions for the model:
Buyers and sellers of traffic usually rely on this number. To determine which of these fans are new and which were already subscribed, we head over to the statistics section on the model's OnlyFans page. From there, we navigate to the Trial Links section and locate the specific link:
Here, you’ll see the same number — 272. However, by this point, the actual figure may already differ due to phantom fans who later disappear from the lists. When you click on the link, it opens a list of all the subscribers who joined through it:

From there, we can visit each fan’s profile to check exactly when they subscribed to the model. On OnlyFans, you can see the day, month, and year of subscription, while our platform displays the date down to the exact second.
This process is automated, but we can also manually verify all the data if needed. In this case, out of the 272 fans, we excluded 50, as their actual subscription date was earlier than the campaign's start date during verification. For example, the link was created on September 29, 2024, but the first fan in the screenshot below subscribed back in 2023:

Fans like these are not included in the payment to the marketer, and the agency or model won’t be charged for them either.
Why Buying and Selling GG via OnlyTraffic Is Beneficial for Both Sellers and Buyers
OnlyTraffic is a platform for buying and selling real fans, not link activations. At first glance, this method of tracking might seem less advantageous for promo sellers. However, the price for truly valuable traffic can be significantly higher — for example, not $0.8 per fan, but $2.
For buyers, this is an even more beneficial approach, as you only pay for genuine new subscribers, not duplicates or phantom fans. Even if the price is higher, it guarantees quality.
This way, both sides of the deal benefit. And we ensure the process is fair and that all terms are met.
