Putting OF and LF to work
Recently, I received this message from a reader:
Hey there. I just found your very informative Substack about findom.
How would one integrate findom with having pages like OnlyFans and LoyalFans?
Good question! We all have content sites to use as adult verification, right?
(Umm, right? If your answer to this was no, you really have to read this article, and get yourself verified somewhere that is publicly visible. It makes your findom life SO much easier, and infinitely less creepy.)
If you have to have a verification site, you may as well put it to work for you. Let’s talk about how to do that, using OF and LF as examples.
Using an adult content site for findom
Since financial domination is primarily a psychological fetish, it doesn’t necessarily involve explicit content like traditional adult work. While many adult content sellers set themselves up to sell sexually explicit photos and videos, a findomme might use the same sites to focus on power dynamics and the thrill of financial surrender, without any nudity.
To build their following and keep subs engaged, findommes have increasingly leveraged adult content platforms like LoyalFans and OnlyFans, which allow them to expand their influence, build a loyal audience, and maximize their earnings. These sites come with all sorts of convenient tools and payment options built in, making them ideal for use in findom. We just have to be a little creative in the ways we use them.
Setting up shop
If you’re like most findommes, you’ve just been using your OF or LF as an adult verification (AV) placeholder. It’s kinda bare there, with maybe a few photos. Let’s fix that. The first step to success on platforms like LoyalFans or OnlyFans is developing a strong, captivating persona, generally based on power, dominance, and allure.
Start by crafting a bio that speaks to the mindset of financial submission. For example, "I’m your superior, your financial Queen, and you will serve me through tribute. Your purpose is to please me by emptying your wallet for my amusement." (Don’t copy and paste that, because I guarantee you, five other people will, and you’ll all get banned for having identical bios, and looking like bots.)
High-quality photos that radiate control, power and elegance get a lot of attention, but honestly, find your niche, and own it. I’ve been seeing a rise in clown life photos lately that are both hilarious and hot. I also follow a domme who is hairy as hell, and is using that as the focus of her persona. Play to your strengths here.
In captions and descriptions, allude to the potential experience of submission. Use strong, assertive language that reinforces the power imbalance. For example, "You don’t deserve me, but if you beg, I might allow you to send a tribute." Be clear about what you’re offering, and also, how unworthy potential subs might be.
If you’re thinking about putting your AV site to work later, do yourself a favor now: whenever you upload a photo to your social media sites, jump over to your AV site, and add the same photo and caption, just to give your account a pulse. You’ll be surprised how many followers you’ll get between now and the time you get things rolling there.
Exclusive content opportunities
Both LoyalFans and OnlyFans allow creators to post exclusive content behind paywalls, which fits perfectly with the idea of financial domination, where subs pay for the privilege of being controlled.
Here are some content ideas specific to the findom niche:
Humiliation videos - Humiliation is often central to the findom experience. In these videos, the domme could verbally degrade the sub, making statements like "You’re worthless without my control" or "Send me your money, that’s the only way you’ll ever matter." Some dommes choose to wear luxurious clothing or accessories that symbolize wealth, showing the financial gap between her and her subs. What you wear isn’t the focus here; what you say, and the power you wield is everything.
Wallet drain sessions - Findommes can host wallet drain sessions as live streams or recorded content. In these sessions, the domme might directly demand money from her subs, taunting them with instructions like, "Empty your wallet for me now. Watch as I take what’s mine." These streams can create a sense of urgency and excitement, encouraging immediate tribute.
Custom domination clips - Offer personalized video content for a high price. For example, a sub could pay for a video where the domme addresses him directly, demanding financial servitude. The feeling of personal attention and custom degradation is often highly valuable to subs.
Luxury and lifestyle teases - Many subs are aroused by the idea that their money funds their domme's luxurious lifestyle. Posting videos or images of designer shopping sprees, expensive dinners, or luxury vacations, with captions like "This is where your money goes" reinforces this fantasy. Documenting the domme’s wealthy lifestyle also emphasizes the aspirational aspect of financial submission.
Ignore content - A twist on traditional content, ignore videos are where the domme pretends not to acknowledge her subs. In findom, being ignored can be a form of degradation. These can be simple videos where the domme is sitting or engaging in another activity without addressing the camera directly. The thrill here is in paying for the privilege of being overlooked.
Countdown tribute challenges - The domme might create challenges like "24-hour Tribute Countdown," where subs are encouraged to send increasing amounts of money within a limited time frame. Using platforms like OnlyFans, she could engage subs through posts, countdowns, and rewards for the highest contributors.
Interaction to drive engagement
One of the key features of platforms like LoyalFans and OnlyFans is the ability to communicate directly with subscribers, which can be used to build loyalty and increase tribute amounts.
Direct messaging (DMs) - Offer exclusive access to your time and attention. Charge subs for the privilege of speaking to you privately, and use this as an opportunity to issue direct commands or provide further humiliation. A typical DM could be "You may speak to me, but it will cost you."
Pay-per-view (PPV) content - Findommes can send out paid content in private messages, further reinforcing the pay-to-play dynamic. These messages could be personalized insults, degrading tasks, photos, or voice clips commanding submission.
Custom response videos - Allow subs to request personalized videos or audios for a higher price. For example, the sub might pay for a video of the domme unboxing a gift he has sent her.
Leveraging subscription tiers
Subscription tiers can be used creatively to build an additional sense of exclusivity and hierarchy among subs. For example:
Basic tier - Low-level subs get access to general content but nothing personalized. This tier is for those just starting their financial servitude.
Premium tier - In this tier, subs might get access to more direct communication, or exclusive videos where the domme mocks their inability to reach higher levels of servitude.
Elite tier - Reserved for high-paying subs, this tier could offer direct access to the domme’s private live sessions, personalized wallet-draining sessions, or even one-on-one live sessions.
Cross promotion
Promoting your content across different platforms is essential. A findomme can use her social media to post teasers of her lifestyle and content, directing potential subs to her LoyalFans or OnlyFans accounts for exclusive access. Highlighting the financial tribute from subs on social media can build a reputation and attract new followers who want to be part of the experience.
Public tribute shoutouts - Posting about high-earning subs can serve as motivation for others. For example, sharing screenshots of tribute payments with a caption like "Look at what my pathetic sub just sent me" can entice new subs to compete for attention.
In conclusion
Using adult content platforms like LoyalFans and OnlyFans provides findommes with a powerful tool to grow their influence, engage with subs, and generate significant income. By offering a mix of psychological and lifestyle-driven content, engaging in direct communication, and capitalizing on exclusivity, findommes can effectively promote themselves and deepen the financial submission dynamic that their subs crave. The key is to maintain an aura of superiority and exclusivity, making subs feel privileged to pay for the opportunity to be dominated.
