Thanks for sitting down with us! Before we get into your business insights, let’s start with the basics—who are you and what kind of work do you do in the OnlyFans space?

Thank you for having me! My name is Kelli Roberts, and I’ve been working in digital media and marketing for nearly three decades, with a big focus on the adult industry. In the OnlyFans space, I work primarily as a strategist and consultant, helping creators grow their brands, optimize their marketing, and build sustainable businesses.

My background is in SEO, digital marketing, and brand development, so I help creators not just get attention, but turn that attention into long-term income. That includes everything from social media growth and content strategy to fan engagement systems and conversion optimization.

I also serve as a performer advocate, working to educate and protect creators in this industry. A lot of my work has been about giving performers the tools they need—whether that’s training on marketing, understanding contracts, or just learning how to build a safe, thriving business on platforms like OnlyFans.

At the heart of it, what I do is bridge the gap between business strategy and performer success—helping creators not only earn more but also feel more secure, empowered, and respected in their work.

Every great business has a starting point—how did yours come to life?

I started back in August of 1996 by developing my own websites, mostly focused on writing erotic fiction. At the time, I was a former exotic dancer who saw early on that the internet was going to completely change the industry, and I wanted to be part of it. That curiosity pushed me to learn everything I could about building an online presence.

Over the years, that led me to working with some of the biggest names in the business—Vivid Video, Digital Playground, Pornstar.com, and eventually Bluebird Films and Bluebird TV, where I built their web presence from the ground up. That experience gave me firsthand insight into how powerful branding, marketing, and digital strategy could be for performers.

When platforms like OnlyFans came along, the transition felt natural. I wanted to take everything I had learned from working with major studios and help performers build their own brands, control their careers, and create their own empires. That’s really been the foundation of my business ever since—empowering creators with the tools and strategies they need to succeed on their own terms.

What makes you passionate about the work you do in the OnlyFans world?

Having worked in the adult industry for nearly three decades, I’ve seen the good, the bad, and everything in between. Unfortunately, that’s included a lot of predatory producers and agents taking advantage of performers. What excites me about OnlyFans is that, for the first time, creators—especially women—truly have the power. They can build their own businesses, control their income, and no longer have to depend on gatekeepers.

That’s what fuels my passion: every day I get to help creators change their lives. I’m not an OnlyFans “manager”—I focus on teaching performers marketing, branding, and business strategy so they can attract subscribers and build something sustainable. Because without visibility and marketing, there’s nothing to manage.

Beyond promotion, I also help them understand the legal and business side of the industry—contracts, compliance, performer rights—so they can grow safely and avoid costly mistakes. Watching women succeed, thrive, and take control of their careers using the tools I’ve given them has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.

Every business has its little secrets—what’s one of yours that would surprise your audience?

One of the biggest “secrets” about OnlyFans is that it’s not really about content—it’s about connection. People often assume subscribers are there just to buy photos or videos, but the reality is very different. Many of the top-earning creators succeed because they build genuine relationships with their fans. People are lonely, and OnlyFans gives them a space to be seen, heard, and cared for.

Take Sophie Rain, for example—she earned over $80 million in just two years, not because of a single video she posted, but because of the way she connects with her subscribers. She listens, engages, and makes them feel valued. That’s the real secret. Creators who understand that OnlyFans is about relationships, not just content, are the ones who achieve long-term success.

Where do you think the OnlyFans business landscape is heading in the next few years?

I think the OnlyFans landscape is heading into a really exciting phase. With stricter age verification laws being rolled out, the days of endless free content are coming to an end. That’s a huge advantage for creators, because when fans can’t access free videos as easily, they’re going to look for trusted, familiar names—and that often means the creators they already follow on social media.

In the next couple of years, I believe this shift will drive more people to invest directly in creators they know and connect with. Instead of chasing free content, fans will start valuing the personal relationship and authenticity OnlyFans offers. In many ways, age verification could become one of the biggest growth drivers for creators, pushing the industry toward a more sustainable, creator-focused future.

It’s been such a pleasure getting your insights—where should our readers go if they want to connect with you or explore your offerings further?

Thank you—it’s been a pleasure sharing my insights! If readers want to connect with me, the best place to start is my blog at kelli.love, where I regularly post free resources and advice for content creators.

I also run a free Telegram group for creators at t.me/kelliroberts, where I share detailed insights, marketing tips, and strategies to help performers grow their brand and business. Both are designed to give creators the knowledge and tools they need to succeed.

I just want to say thank you to onlyfans insider magazine for providing this platform for the content creator industry. Im Bailey Madison. Im not a creator, but i do a lot of work in the online social media space. I built the website www.howtoonlyfans.net. after making some onlyfans creator business plans for some friend. It became very obvious the onlyfans industry needed a resource like howtoonlyfans after helping some friends get started with their content creator businesses. It took a lot of research but i think it was worth it to make a website that covers many of the issues that content creators face.

Inside German-Adult-News: A Legacy of Independent Adult Media

Featuring: Tom Berger

Thanks for having me! I’m Tom Berger, the Editor-in-Chief and Publisher of German-Adult-News, a long-standing digital magazine that covers culture, trends, and the creator economy within the adult entertainment space. I’ve been working in online media for more than two decades, and I founded our platform back in 2001 to give creators, industry professionals, and emerging talent a place where their stories can be told with professionalism and journalistic integrity. German-Adult-News is a fully online, free-to-read B2C publication. As a German media outlet, we operate under national youth-protection guidelines and maintain an age rating comparable to FSK16, meaning all our content follows standards similar to a PG-13 framework—informative, respectful, and non-explicit. Our goal is to make industry insights and cultural perspectives accessible without crossing into graphic detail. Over the years, our coverage has expanded into many areas of the entertainment world. We feature creators who use platforms like OnlyFans, but we also report on production companies, directors, producers, and the behind-the-scenes landscape. We cover international film releases, industry developments, and related lifestyle topics such as sex-positive culture and modern pleasure products—always from a culture-focused and journalistic point of view. While we’re not a content studio ourselves, our role in the ecosystem is to spotlight the people and companies shaping today’s creator landscape and to offer context that helps audiences better understand the creative work happening across platforms. In short, I run a digital magazine dedicated to telling meaningful stories about creators, companies, and the evolving culture of online entertainment—and I’m excited to share more with your readers.
