To start an OnlyFans account, follow these main steps:

1. Sign up on OnlyFans.com by registering with an email, password, and username (or using social media login). Confirm your email to activate the account.
2. Verify your identity by uploading government-issued ID photos and a selfie holding the ID. This is required to confirm you are 18 or older and to meet OnlyFans' terms.
3. Optimize your profile by choosing a catchy username, uploading a high-quality profile picture, writing an engaging bio, and setting your subscription price.
4. Link your bank account or payment method to receive earnings.
5. Start creating and posting content regularly, promote your profile, and interact with fans.

Registration is free, but OnlyFans takes a 20% commission on earnings. Verification usually takes a short time, and the platform enforces strict rules to ensure safety and compliance. This process ensures your account is set up securely and professionally for success on the platform.
