When you start an OnlyFans account, one of the first big decisions you’ll face is whether to use your real name or a fake name (also called a pseudonym or stage name).

Let’s break down the pros and cons of using a fake name as a creator.

Thinking about starting an OnlyFans?

Growing an OnlyFans subscriber base takes more than just posting on the platform. The real key is having a consistent, multi-platform strategy that builds awareness, funnels people to your account, and keeps them engaged.

When you start on OnlyFans, one of your first decisions is how to set up your pay structure. You can choose:

• A Free Account (no subscription fee, income from tips and content sales)
