How OnlyFans become $18 Billion company. OnlyFans grew into a huge company using a simple idea: a referral program. Their founder, Tim Stokely, needed a way to bring creators to the platform. His solution? Pay people for inviting creators to join. This smart move turned OnlyFans into a billion-dollar success. Here’s how their referral program worked: 1. Feel Good: People felt proud, not awkward, about sharing the platform. 2. No Judgement: They made sure people didn’t feel criticized for recommending it. 3. Big Rewards: The more money their referrals made, the more the referrers earned. 4. Easy to Use: Referring others and getting paid was super simple. By rewarding people based on the success of their referrals, OnlyFans attracted top creators who helped the platform grow fast. The takeaway? A good referral program that’s simple, rewarding, and comfortable for users can help any business succeed!

Ok. Just my personal opinion. I don't think the success of OF was the result of "just" the referral program. Come on, let's be real here, 87% of OF user base are Males. While 70% of the creators are female, aaannnd, we know why. The creators make ton loads of money (the lust) which was not possible in any other imaginable way for them. (Thus, the motive) Still, he did a great job mainstreaming it :) and it will come to India someday :/

the model’s great, but credit also goes to the creators. Without them putting in the work, OnlyFans would just be another empty app with no spice. They built the $18B empire together.
