TikTok is one of the highest-quality traffic sources for OnlyFans models, and everyone wants to buy it. But many find it difficult to create the right creatives that won't get banned while still engaging users and reaching the recommendation feed.
My name is Yaroslav, and in this case study, I'll share how I manage to make additional income from TikTok by driving traffic to models through OnlyTraffic. I spend only 3 hours a day on this but earn about $500 monthly. Read to the end to see the creatives, approaches, and screenshots.
How I Started Working with OnlyFans and Why I No Longer Deal with Dating Offers
My traffic journey began when I was looking for an easy way to make extra money. That's how I learned about traffic arbitrage and started testing different sources in July 2024. Back then, I worked with the Traf***.com affiliate program, where I earned $1 for each user I brought to a dating site: they had to register using my referral link, and I would receive a conversion fee.
When I earned my first $150 in a month, I thought nothing could be simpler: just sitting, clicking on my phone without much effort. But things weren't exactly as they seemed. When I tried to withdraw my $41 for the second time that month, something unexpected happened—my affiliate account was blocked. All attempts to find out what happened were ignored.
I was very upset about being scammed like that and went to work at a cell phone store, where I still work today. But I had a lot of free time, so I just read various blogs and articles on the internet. That's how I stumbled upon the OnlyTraffic affiliate program, where you can drive traffic to OnlyFans models. I decided to try my luck again after experiencing that betrayal.
How I Started Earning from TikTok
The site seemed straightforward to me, and I quickly chose a model with whom I still work. The scheme was simple: I uploaded videos to TikTok, followers went to the Instagram page that I created and manage for the model, and from there, users transition and subscribe to OnlyFans. I can say that I started earning quite quickly.
I brought about 10 subscribers to her page in a week. Then I began to think that I had chosen a too expensive model to start with and shouldn't expect quick earnings, but I was wrong. Literally, within a couple of days, $70 landed in my balance. If I said I was surprised, I'd be lying—I was shocked. This gave me the motivation to keep working.
Unfortunately, I didn't have much free time to take this more seriously. Sometimes I had to work on TikTok during breaks at work.
At some point, while exploring the site, I came across the "Sell Subscribers" tab, where payment is received for each fan rather than through RevShare. It's the same as with the first dating affiliate program, but here I knew I wouldn't get scammed. I calculated that I could earn $450 a month—the same amount I earn at my offline job.
My Strategy
First, you definitely need an iOS 18 device or higher, plus a good VPN that will block trackers and other things that affect shadow bans. I recommend PureVPN and IPVanish, which I use myself.
I buy accounts for the USA or UK—there are fewer problems with them, and the results are better. Here are shops with good accounts: first and second.
After purchasing accounts, they need to be set up. You can do it like mine or however you prefer, but it should encourage users to subscribe. In the account name, we write "Check bio," and in the bio, we indicate "💕Go to YT for a link to my website💕⬇️," and below that, we mark an account linked to Instagram. Here's an example:
I use different creatives depending on the model I'm driving traffic to. These should be reasonable creatives that don't provoke a permanent or shadow ban within an hour. Therefore, more down-to-earth photos are needed:
Usually, I take two identical photos and format them as a carousel—this way, the chance of getting into recommendations is higher.
I select hashtags for the US audience, but it's important to know that in statistics, you'll get about 75% of the audience from the desired country. Here's an example of what I use: "Turning the garage into my happy place, one pickup mod at a time! #BuiltNotBought #TruckMods #xhuonggggg🐰 #xhtiktok #xh".
Even considering that there aren't that many views, you'll 100% get at least 1 fan for your model. This is because recommendations show such videos to users aged 30-50, and they are precisely the target audience for OnlyFans.
To check accounts, I use the @mrbeast_tiktok_bot checker on Telegram. It's very easy to use and responds quickly to checks: in five seconds, you can fully check an account for shadow bans. You need a link to the account or its name.
My Results and How Much I Earned with OnlyTraffic
I dedicate approximately 3-4 hours a day to work. Currently, I earn on the affiliate program in two ways: I drive traffic via CPL with payment per fan, and I receive a commission through RevShare. Over the entire period, I earned $1,086 via CPL for 703 fans that I brought to the model's page:
Through RevShare, in total, for one of the models, I brought only 60 subscribers who spent $2,558, and I earned $514 from them:
Here's a screenshot from the wallet page on OnlyTraffic, where you can see that I receive and withdraw my hard-earned money:
For beginners, the information in this case study will be quite sufficient, as the most challenging part in TikTok is finding a way to publish videos. Often the problem is with shadow bans, which depend on the device or VPN. But sometimes, it's also about the social network itself, updates, and storms.
To earn about $600 per month, you need to drive 20 fans a day—this is not so difficult or time-consuming. Good luck working with TikTok!
