As with any other industry, you should discuss with yourself what may happen to OnlyFans if the economy flops and inflation hits high records. This article will help you understand more about that discussion and help lead you in the right direction.
In simpler terms, it means that the economy and spending power of the dollar are extremely low. The OnlyFans industry, more so the umbrella name “the sex industry,” is a complex term that covers multiple areas. Everything from webcamming, escorting, stripping, and subscription-based content is affected whenever a recession is active, but the real question is how much and in which direction, negative or positive.
There will be many more unemployed people in a recession. The unfortunate truth is that whenever someone is laid off, they search for love and security. If they cannot do it themselves in their personal lives, they begin to search within the sex industry, whether that be through any of the various methods listed above. This means the traffic coming over to your page will be much higher.
As a creator with a higher subscription price, you will notice less and less traffic. As a creator with a low subscription price, you’ll notice more traffic following a more affordable price.
However, as more and more people seem to find themselves more time with this recession, they’ll be more active users on social platforms such as Instagram, Reddit & Twitter. With more viewers and users, this means more reach on your account, which will help your future videos and make a name for yourself if you haven’t yet.
It’ll also be a great time to build that connection and bond with your audience and fans on a more one-to-one basis, as they’ll have more time to communicate and be in a position where they may heavily desire that direct communication.
With more traffic coming onto your account, you must look at the quality, as that is the most significant factor after they “take a step into the door” of your account. The “quality” aspects come down to their spending power, which may be lower during a recession.
With reduced disposable income and soaring inflation, there's less of a budget available for adult content subscriptions. The industry has become more competitive as many newcomers seek alternative income sources in the sex industry. We advise newcomers to be cautious when entering this saturated market as there is a tough barrier to entry.
Being in a “red-ocean market” or a niche with much competition will be the wrong position to place yourself in as a creator. You want to be in a “Blue-ocean market” where there are not a lot of creators who are creating content similar to yours. Being in a vertical where you have a “unique” sense of content is where you want to place yourself. If you would like to learn more about niches and verticals, please look into this blog, where we go over what niches are. How to pick a niche on OnlyFans and the importance of one.
Being successful on OnlyFans boils down to the basics, Marketing and Account Management, & how well you can execute both operations. A recession will impact this equation in some way, but even during economic pain, there is still a massive urge for people to seek an “escape.” If you as a creator can leverage and play yourself in a way to be that “escape factor” for a target market audience of people, then you won’t fully make yourself recession-proof but more so in a position to benefit if a recession does come. Sex work, in general, is not fully inflation-proof or recession-proof, but there’s a reason that it has existed and continued to thrive throughout history.
