Hey there, I’m Rundalya, an OnlyFans and Fansly creator who’s been grinding in this space for a minute. If you’re struggling to get your content popping or wondering why your reels aren’t hitting like they should, I’m here to spill the tea on what’s been working for me lately. From video tweaks to platform shifts, I’ve been testing some new strategies, and I’m excited to share what’s clicking—and what’s not. Let’s dive in.
The Text-on-Video Hack That’s Changing the Game
One thing I’ve noticed recently is that text matters. Like, a lot. I started experimenting with adding bold, eye-catching text overlays or subtitles directly on my reels, and the difference is wild. I used to post reels that looked decent but barely got traction outside my existing subscribers. Then I tried a new approach: short, punchy videos with text on-screen—think big, readable fonts or quick captions that tease what’s coming. I also throw in a couple of words in the post description with a few strategic hashtags, nothing crazy.
Why does this work? I think it’s because people are watching videos in all kinds of situations—maybe they’re at work, on public transport, or just can’t have the sound on. Some might even be hard of hearing, you know? Adding text makes your content accessible and engaging without relying on audio. I tested this on a brand-new account with zero followers, and even without a long description, these text-heavy videos started pulling views. It’s like people are drawn to something they can read while scrolling.
Pro tip: Play around with carousel-style posts or slideshow vibes, like what’s trending on TikTok. Make your text hook them in the first three seconds—something spicy, curious, or straight-up bold. This could be the new wave for 2025, trust me.

Uploading: Mobile vs. PC, Does It Matter?
I’ve been uploading everything from my PC, and honestly, it’s been fine. I’ve heard people say you have to post from your phone for better algorithm love, but I haven’t seen a huge difference either way. My process is pretty straightforward: I edit my videos with text overlays using software like CapCut or Adobe Premiere, upload from my desktop, and schedule posts if needed. The key isn’t the device—it’s the content itself. Focus on making your video visually grabby with text or subtitles, and you’re golden whether you’re posting from a laptop or your iPhone.
Fansly vs. OnlyFans: The Shift Is Real
Let’s talk platforms. I’ve been on OnlyFans for years, but lately, I’ve noticed the traffic there is tanking. Like, it’s no secret OnlyFans has taken a hit—ratings are down to one star out of five for a reason. Scammers, spammy accounts, and strict moderation on OnlyFans TV are pushing people away. Meanwhile, Fansly’s been climbing, with a 75% growth spike this past year alone. Their internal traffic system is a game-changer. I’ve been posting photos there, not even trying that hard, and I’ve already built up about 200 fans, with some even paying for subscriptions. That’s $22 earned basically on autopilot.
The catch? Fansly fans don’t seem to slide into the DMs as much as OnlyFans subscribers do. It’s weird—lots of followers, but they’re quiet. I’m starting to think the money on Fansly might come from straight-up explicit content behind a paywall, like premium subscriptions or PPV posts. But here’s the kicker: just like OnlyFans, the real cash flow comes when you’ve got chatters working your inbox. Fansly fans seem to love it when you message them first, so I’m considering hiring a chatter to keep the convos flowing. Problem is, finding good ones is a headache—more on that later.

The Chatter Struggle: Finding the Right Fit
If you’re serious about scaling your account, chatters are non-negotiable. Back when I started hiring chatters five years ago, it was a nightmare. Out of 100, maybe five were actually decent. Most were either unprofessional or just didn’t get my vibe. A good chatter needs to nail your voice—whether it’s flirty, chill, or spicy—and keep fans engaged without being pushy. They’re your sales team, your customer service, and your brand rep all in one.
I’m thinking about bringing on a Fansly chatter to test the waters, but I’m burnt out from the hiring process. Sites like Upwork or Reddit’s r/OnlyFansChatter are solid places to start looking. You can also check Fiverr for freelance chatter services, but be picky—look for fluent English (or your target language), sales skills, and someone who can build genuine connections without sounding like a bot. Expect to pay anywhere from $2–$5/hour plus 3–10% commission on sales, depending on their experience.
One tip: always do a mock chat session before hiring. Send them a sample fan message like, “You’re so sexy, what would you do if I was there?” and see how they respond. If they can’t match your tone or keep it engaging, move on. Also, use tools like CreatorHero, Infloww or SpicyAI to manage multiple chatters and keep things secure—nobody wants their account flagged for sketchy logins.
Why Fansly Might Be the Next Big Thing
Fansly’s growth isn’t just a fluke. Their team is out here buying Google ads to promote the platform, which means more eyes on your content without you lifting a finger. Compare that to OnlyFans, where you’re basically on your own for traffic unless you’re funneling people from Instagram or TikTok. Fansly’s internal traffic system is pulling in curious new users, and the platform’s 4-star rating shows it’s got a better rep than OnlyFans right now.
That said, don’t sleep on OnlyFans completely. It’s still a massive platform, and with the right chatter strategy, you can milk it for all it’s worth. But if you’re looking to diversify, Fansly’s where the fish are biting. Just don’t expect it to last forever—every platform has its peak, and Fansly’s growth might slow down eventually. For now, though, it’s a goldmine if you play it smart.
My Takeaways for You
- Text is king: Add bold text or subtitles to your videos to grab attention, especially for viewers who can’t or won’t turn on sound.
- Don’t sweat the upload device: PC or mobile, it’s all about the content. Focus on quality and hooks.
- Chatters are your secret weapon: Hire someone who can sell without being pushy and matches your vibe. Check Upwork, Fiverr, or Reddit for talent.
- Jump on Fansly: The platform’s growing fast, and the internal traffic is a huge perk. Start posting now to build your fanbase.
- Stay consistent but don’t burn out: I get it, this hustle is exhausting. Delegate to chatters or VAs to free up your time for creating.
I’m still figuring out this Fansly thing myself, and yeah, I’m a little burnt out too. But testing new strategies, like text-heavy reels and exploring platforms like Fansly, keeps it exciting. If you’ve got tips or want to swap ideas, slide into my DMs on X—I’m always down to chat. Let’s keep leveling up together.
With love,
