Seriously, who doesn't know what Instagram Reels are these days? They're literally everywhere! 2.23 billion people can't be wrong – Reels are taking over Instagram! And if you're an OnlyFans creator looking to grow your audience, Reels are a total game-changer.
In this article, we'll walk you through everything you need to know to create captivating Reels using AI face swaps, share the insider tips for getting your posts seen by tons of people, and even show you a real-life example of someone who earned $1,054 in just two months using these strategies. Let's get started!
The OnlyFans advantage
Reels are the perfect traffic source for OnlyFans because they're short, shareable, and highly engaging. But to truly maximize your reach, you need to understand the algorithm and how to create content that stands out. This guide will walk you through the process, from choosing the right model to optimizing your content for maximum impact.
Step 1: Finding the perfect model
First things first, you need a model for your Reels. Don't worry, you don't need to be a model yourself! Here's how to find the perfect fit:
- Choose a model with a similar look: The key is to find a model whose appearance matches the one you'll be swapping faces with.
A blonde with a bob cut and tattoos wouldn't work well with a model who's a brunette with long hair;
- Check the model's OnlyFans page: Look for a page with a high volume of SFS (shoutout for shoutout) posts. This means the model is actively promoting other creators, which can be a good sign for your own success;
- Assess the model's engagement: Check the model's chat history to see how quickly they respond to messages and how well they handle fan interactions.
This will give you an idea of their communication skills and how they can help you sell your content.
Step 2: Setting up your Instagram accounts
You'll need a few Instagram accounts to get started. Here's how to create them:
- Choose a phone: You'll need a phone with Android or iOS;
- Set the language and region: Make sure your accounts are set to English and the US region;
- Create multiple accounts: Create 5-7 accounts using different email addresses;
- Avoid phone numbers: Don't use your real phone number for these accounts.
- Use VPNs and mobile proxies: If you're comfortable with it, use a VPN and different mobile proxies to create multiple accounts.
Step 3: Designing your accounts
Keep your accounts clean and professional. Avoid any hints of adult content, OnlyFans, or flirting. Then, switch them to a business profile and set the type to creator.
Step 4: Creating your content
Now it's time to create your content! Here's how:
- Find relevant content: Search for Instagram accounts of media buyers promoting on OnlyFans or source videos directly from models' TikTok accounts;
- Choose the right model: Select videos that feature models with a similar appearance to your chosen model;
- Use Face Swap and AI: Download photos and videos of your model and use Face Swap or similar AI to replace faces;
- Enhance the quality: Run the photos and videos through an AI tool to improve their quality. This can significantly increase your reach on Instagram.
Step 5: Launching your campaign
Once you've created your content, it's time to launch your campaign! Set up something like Beacon, Linktree, AllMyLinks, or even a direct link. There are lots of options out there, but for this example, here’s the example with Beacon since it lets you handle multiple accounts for free:
The power of AI
By combining Face Swap with AI-powered enhancement, you can create high-quality content that stands out on Instagram. This can lead to a 30% increase in reach, giving you a significant boost in your OnlyFans earnings.
Posting rules
Don't worry too much about the videos: often the face is slightly distorted due to Face Swap — this is not a problem. It may even positively affect the reach, as people might rewatch such clips more often, which can push them into the recommendations.
You need to post every day during peak times for the USA. Hashtags almost have no impact on the outcome, but lengthy descriptions can positively influence the reach.
Account promotion
This case is about playing the long game. You need to develop and enhance the accounts so they gain reach and engagement under the posts. Without buying ads at the start, posts will only gather around 10-20 views. Ads can be purchased in chats, or on specialized platforms like Gigsocial.
Also, remember to be vigilant, as there is a lot of scamming in this area, and one needs to be cautious. Check screenshots for stitching, and it's better to ask for a video screenshot. Don’t agree to the initially offered price right away, try to negotiate a test. Sometimes service providers agree to reduce the price by 2-3 times.
Buy ads from accounts with an audience from the USA over 70%:
Advertising in reels and profile tags performed poorly and brought almost no results. Users simply scroll past them and don't visit the profile. The most effective is advertising in the stories of other models, or tags under photos/carousels.
The main goal is to gain organic engagement in the account so that Instagram will provide its own reach. The most important thing is to ensure the account does not become predominantly Latin American because it’s very challenging to shift the focus back to the USA.
Instagram algorithms
Carousel posts with several photos, as well as regular photos with long descriptions that don’t hint at adult content, worked best for us. Also, initially, your account may receive complaints, so check the account visibility settings and strikes from the social network. If a complaint is received for sexual content on any photo or video, delete it within 24 hours. That way, the account won’t get banned or shadow-banned.
Case study: Making $1,000 in 2 months from scratch
Everything we've discussed above has brought these OnlyFans creators about a million views on their Reels:
Naturally, success on Instagram has a bit of luck involved, and we certainly hit the jackpot:
The model's content has attracted significant attention, resulting in:
- 1,625 clicks from viewers.
- 210 fans who have collectively spent $4,217 on the model's profile.
- A profit of $1,054 from the revenue sharing agreement.
Conclusion
As the case study shows, Instagram Reels can bring a whole lotta love (aka traffic) to your OnlyFans. And mixing in Face Swap is still a winning move! Think of it like this: it's like wearing a killer outfit that turns heads, but adding a fun mask on top just to spice things up! So yeah, keep doing what you're doing, but don't be afraid to throw in some Face Swap magic for an extra oomph!
