OnlyFans Referral Links
OnlyFans referral links allow existing creators to earn a percentage of revenue from new creators they refer to the platform. The referral program pays 5% of the referred creator's earnings for 12 months.
What Is the OnlyFans Referral Program?
The OnlyFans referral program allows creators to earn money by recruiting new creators to the platform. When you share your unique referral link and someone signs up as a creator through it, you earn 5% of their earnings for 12 months.
This 5% comes from OnlyFans' share — it does not reduce the referred creator's earnings. The referred creator still keeps their full 80% under the standard 80/20 split.
How Referral Links Work
1. Get your referral link — Find your unique referral URL in your OnlyFans account settings under the Referrals section.
2. Share the link — Send it to potential creators via social media, direct messages, or your website.
3. They sign up — When someone creates a creator account through your link and completes verification, they're linked to your account.
4. Earn commissions — You receive 5% of their earnings for 12 months from signup, paid out according to the standard payout schedule.
Referral Links vs. Tracking Links
Don't confuse referral links with tracking links. Tracking links help you measure which promotional channels drive subscribers to your page. Referral links are specifically for recruiting new creators to OnlyFans.
Maximizing Referral Earnings
1. Share your referral link when networking with other creators or aspiring creators
2. Create content about how to start on OnlyFans and include your referral link
3. Focus on referring creators who are likely to be active and successful — your earnings scale with theirs
4. Some creators include referral links in their bio link pages
