๐ก Why ghostwriting for OnlyFans is a proper gig (and who it’s for)
If you write clean copy, love chatty DMs, and don’t mind a bit of NSFW output, thereโs real money in being an OnlyFans ghostwriter. Creators are juggling DMs, tiered posts, custom content briefs and community management โ and many of themโd rather pay a reliable writer than burn out sending the same messages at 2am.
This guide cuts through the noise: Iโll walk you through the actual services creators hire for, how to price and structure offers, sample contract points, risk management, and where to find legit gigs in 2025. Expect practical, Aussie-no-nonsense advice โ not pie-in-the-sky promises. Youโll also get a data snapshot comparing common ghostwriting tasks, a quick playbook for onboarding clients, and a realistic look at legal and reputation hazards creators face in the news (the platform is mainstream now โ look at Sophie Rainโs headlines) [Yahoo, 2025-09-27].
Spoiler: OnlyFans takes a 20% cut of creator revenue, so creators often prioritise revenue-driving activities (like messaging and promos) โ thatโs where strong writers get hired. Weโll also touch on why public news about creators can change demand overnight โ as seen with recent creator publicity and legal spats [News18, 2025-09-27] โ and why contracts matter when reputation risks become legal disputes (BroBible, 2025-09-26).
๐ Ghostwriter task snapshot (who hires, what they pay, effort) ๐
๐งโ๐ค Task | ๐ฐ Typical client | โ Effort (hrs) | ๐ Pay (AUD est.) |
---|---|---|---|
DM replies / Fan chat | Active creators selling custom attention | 1โ3 | $30โ$150 per hour |
Tiered timeline posts | Creators building funnels | 0.5โ2 | $20โ$120 per post |
Custom clip scripts / captions | Creators selling per-request clips | 1โ4 | $80โ$600 per brief |
Monthly DMs + content calendar | High-volume creators wanting scale | 10โ40 | $500โ$3,000+ / month |
What this snapshot shows: ghostwriting is modular. Short-form DM work pays by time; scripted custom content commands higher flat fees. Monthly retainers are where experienced writers scale income and build predictable cashflow. The numbers above are market estimates and should be quoted as starting points when you negotiate: if you can prove conversion (more tips, sold clips, higher retention), you can justify the top-of-range fees.
OnlyFansโ 20% platform cut (creators keep the rest) means creators are incentivised to outsource the parts that directly grow revenue โ thatโs prime territory for ghostwriters who can write call-to-action messages, upsell copy, and conversion-focused captions.

๐ก How to pitch, price and protect yourself (practical playbook)
Start with a tight service menu. Break offers into three clear products: quick replies, per-post copy, and full monthly management. Always ask clients for KPIs: tips per week, clip sell rate, or subscriber churn. Your pitch should say exactly what youโll deliver and what result the creator should expect.
Contracts and payments
- Use a simple written agreement: scope, delivery cadence, revisions, payment terms, confidentiality, and a clause about banned requests. For safety, insist on one-week upfront for new clients or escrow via a trusted third-party.
- Use traceable payments: bank transfer, PayPal (business), or crypto if both sides agree. Keep receipts and deliverables.
Onboarding checklist (first 48 hours)
- Brief: get tone examples, top-performing posts, banned topics, and a โdo not sendโ list.
- Access: set up a separate account or write drafts in Google Docs โ never give the ghostwriter full account access unless thereโs trust and a written agreement.
- Reporting: weekly metrics snapshot (tips, new subs, top DMs) so you can show impact.
Pricing tactics
- Charge higher for urgent turnaround, and offer discounts for 3โ6 month retainers.
- Bundle an initial audit into your first-month fee to demonstrate quick wins.
Reputation & legal risk Creators and writers live in a small world โ bad behaviour spreads fast. Recent headlines show creators are very much in the public eye, and disputes can become legal headaches [BroBible, 2025-09-26]. Keep copies of briefs, consent screenshots (for any real-person mentions), and explicit client sign-off for any content that could be sensitive.
Tools that speed things up
- Templates: DM reply banks categorised by intent (sell, tease, close).
- Scheduling: use OnlyFans composer or a private content calendar.
- Quick scripts: 60โ120 second clip scripts with hooks, pay-off and CTA.
