Understand the Site
First things first, you need a basic idea of the platform. Here's enough to get you started:
Reddit is a social media site consisting of many groups about different topics.
These groups are called subreddits. Each focuses on a topic and has its own posts, rules, and moderators. You can recognize a subreddit by r/ in front of its name.
There are thousands of subreddits dedicated to adult content. They're marked as NSFW (not safe for work). That's where you will post.
When you open Reddit, you see the usual social media feed. With one key difference - users don't submit posts to their profiles (beginning with u/) but in the subreddits.
You can subscribe to subreddits to see content posted there in your feed. Or visit a subreddit to browse only its posts.
The order of posts is determined by a voting system. Users upvote posts they like and downvote those they don't. The difference between upvotes and downvotes on your posts makes up your karma.
Create an Account
You know how Reddit works, and you're ready to begin:
Go to reddit.com/register and sign up using your preferred method. Did you previously get banned? Use a new browser with mobile data to avoid Reddit connecting the accounts.
Enter a custom username instead of the default one. Accounts with default usernames get banned more often. Don't add numbers at the end if your username isn't available. You can use our name generator for ideas.
This checklist uses Jessie from Toy Story as an example. She goes by u/LustfulJess on Reddit.Answer the personalization choices to complete the signup.
Verify your email.
Go to reddit.com/settings/preferences, enable the Show mature content, and disable the Blur mature images and media option to access adult content freely.
Your settings should look like this to access adult content.
Set Up Your Profile
You have an account, but it's empty and boring. 😔 Here's how to turn your profile into a subscriber magnet: 🧲
Go to reddit.com/settings/profile.
Enable the Mark as mature option. Not doing so can get you banned, as you'll post explicit content.
Set a Display name. Keep it simple and use your name or a fun variation of it. You can spice it up with an emoji.
Jessie went with a fun twist of a popular position that ties into her persona: Cowgirl Jessie 😘Use the About description to show your personality. The more genuine it sounds, the better. Links aren't clickable, so don't include them. Here's a simple formula you can use:
Something about yourself that makes you stand out to the user.
What they get by subscribing.
Call to action telling them to visit your OnlyFans. You can offer an incentive for doing so.
Yeehaw! I love animals, being out on the land, and the freedom it brings. You'll enjoy me if you're into old-fashioned ladies... naughty ones. 😁 Guess my favorite position on OF to get a hot gift.Upload a sexy selfie of yourself as an Avatar. Seeing who you are helps build connection. Use a simple image with your face in the center (or a body feature if you're faceless).
Show your whole body or yourself doing some activity in the Banner. It's small, so don't include many details. Keep the vibe similar to your OnlyFans so the visitors get what they expect. You don't want them to think you're into BDSM when your content is vanilla.
Add your OnlyFans link using the Social links option. Don't include other socials. You want people to subscribe, not browse more free content. 😉 Select the Custom option instead of OnlyFans to use a tracking link.

Build Karma
Your profile is ready, and you're eager to start posting. Wait! Reddit automatically bans bots, and new accounts often get mistaken as such. You'll set the promo to go live in 3 days. Here's how to build up your account in the meantime:
Just browse the first day. Subscribe to subreddits that interest you and upvote posts you like. But no commenting or posting yet! 🫡 You can download the Reddit app to do this when you get a break during the day.
Aim to have from 10 to 15 subreddits when you're done. Include r/AskReddit. It makes the next steps easier.
Here's Jessie's list:
An example list of subreddits.
Begin commenting on the second day. Open your home feed and sort it by rising. This is key because you're early to posts likely to blow up, so you get more attention too. Browse like the previous day and comment where you feel like it. You can also reply to the top comments on a post.
How to sort your feed by rising.
Make your first post on the third day. Pick a subreddit about a topic you like. You'll repost a popular post from last year.
Jessie will repost a question in r/askreddit. The subreddit you pick mustn't have minimum karma requirements.Enter the subreddit in which you'll post into Subreddit Analysis. Look at the row for today's day in the Best Post Times table. Go by hours from the best to worst, and set an alarm on your phone for the first best time when you'll be free.
Find a post when the alarm goes off. Sort the subreddit by top posts this year. Scroll past the top 10 posts, and find one you like. It's recent enough that people will upvote it but not so much that they'll remember it.
Submit a similar post with a new title to your subreddit. Reply to the comments you get.

Prepare Content
You're ready to start promoting and driving traffic to your OnlyFans. Here's what you'll post:
You need 15 images for this 7-day promo. One photoshoot is enough, as you'll pick similar subreddits. You can reuse existing content if you have it.
If you don't know what to post, see what's popular in the subreddits in your niche. You can find them with this list. Search a word that describers your content or your best features (petite, big ass, goth, blonde, tattoo, asian, milf, etc.). Browse the top posts in a few subreddits. Repeat with another word if needed.
Decide how much you're comfortable showing. The more you do, the better results you'll get. But keep the spiciest stuff for your subscribers.
Find a private and bright space. Use your phone to take the pics.
Get comfortable and put on your favorite song to get in the mood.
Take more photos than you need without expectations. Select the best ones after you're done.
Create Posts
Your content is ready. All that's left is to turn it into posts:
Every day for the next week you will:
Make 15 posts at the best times.
Use each image once in a relevant subreddit.
Post each image in a subreddit where you haven't yet.
Write a catchy title for each post.
You could do this manually. Find a subreddit with the list linked above. See what the best post time is with Subreddit Analysis. When the time comes, upload the image, write a title, and select a subreddit. Repeat 105 times. All while keeping track of which image you posted where. But here's the thing:
How we feel about making so many posts by hand.
Making 15 posts per day at set times is crazy. Do you just drop everything when you have to post? And there's no way you can do it as quickly as we promised… 😰
Wait, there's a much better way. Sign up for Social Rise with your Reddit and go to the Post Scheduler. Select the Generate option and fill in the form that pops up:
- Upload 15 images.
- Add 15 subreddits. You can have AI suggest them.
- Set Amount of posts to 7 per each media.
- Set Post times to Best with a 7-day period.
- Select the NSFW tag and tick the Fill with AI checkbox for the Titles.
- Click Add 105 Posts.
Ta-daaa! 🪄 You just made 105 posts for the whole week that will be submitted at the best times. They are spread evenly throughout the day. A combination of image and subreddit is never repeated. Titles are unique and tailored to the post. No one can tell you didn't make the posts yourself.
Review and schedule the posts after they're generated. You need a plan to schedule all of them. 500 per month is enough for now. At $25.99, you need only about 5 new subscribers to cover the cost. That's 5 people in the whole month out of tens of thousands that will see you on Reddit. You have little to lose and much to gain, so give it a try.
Next Steps
Congratulations! 🎉 Your first promo on Reddit is done. Here's what you can do next to get the best results possible:
Pin a post with your OnlyFans link. You can do so by submitting a link post to your profile. Give the visitor a good reason to subscribe in the title. For example, a discount you're running. After you submit the post, click 3 dots in the top right and Pin Post To Profile.
Set up autoresponders to automatically reply to comments and messages. Thank the user or give them a gift, like an exclusive image. Include personalization options. Don't mention OnlyFans - they can find it on your profile.
Schedule 20 posts per day with fresh content next week.
