Ninety days ago, there was no magazine—print or digital—that belonged to the OnlyFans community.
Let me say that again: none.
No publication for content creators to tell their own stories. No dedicated press space to highlight their wins, struggles, and aspirations. No professional, public platform to legitimize them as influencers, entrepreneurs, and cultural voices.
And then, in mid-May 2025, that changed.
Now, just under three months later, Only Fans Insider Magazine has gone from zero to millions in reach. And unlike anything else in the space, this magazine isn’t here to speak about creators—it exists to let them speak for themselves.
It’s not our voice. It’s your voice.
Your story.
Your ability to build your own brand narrative.
And that difference? That’s what’s turning heads.
The Numbers So Far
Let’s put the past 90 days in perspective:
🌍 Countries reached: 65+
📱 Social media reach: 2,174,406
👀 Article views: 4.7 million
⏱️ Average read time: 11 minutes 13 seconds
📖 Average article reads per visitor: 4.2
📝 Articles published: 42
🌐 New local chapters launched: 2 (Denver & Melbourne)
🧠 Advisory Board Members: 5
📈 Most-read article: 143,307 reads
🗓️ First user-generated article: May 31, 2025
These aren’t vanity metrics—they’re proof that the creator community is hungry for something different. And I wanted to sit down with the man who started it all—Editor-in-Chief, Joseph Haecker—to unpack how we got here, what makes OFI different, and where it’s headed next.
The Interview
Ryder Vale: Joseph, I’ve been in journalism long enough to know industries don’t change this fast. Did you expect the numbers to be this big this soon?
Joseph Haecker: Not at all. The day before we launched—May 14, 2025—there wasn’t a single magazine for the OnlyFans community. Not one. That blew my mind. This is a huge global industry with millions of content creators, and yet… no press.
That meant no safe, professional space for creators to tell their stories on their own terms. And no press means fewer brand opportunities, fewer licensing deals, fewer chances to be seen as the influencers they truly are.
Ryder: So this isn’t just a magazine—it’s a platform?
Joseph: Exactly. We’re not here to “report on” creators from the outside. We’re here to give them the platform to tell their own stories. It’s “your voice, your story.” We’re just the stage.
When you publish with us, you’re not just dropping a post into an algorithm—you’re creating something permanent. Something searchable. Something brands, producers, and casting directors can find when they’re looking for fresh talent.
We’ve already had creators tell us they’ve used their OFI articles to pitch collaborations, negotiate better rates, and get in the door with companies that wouldn’t have answered their DMs before.
Ryder: Let’s talk about that first user-generated article.
Joseph: That was May 31, 2025, featuring @Texaslatina95. We didn’t publicly track views at the time, but in the first 48 hours she had 78,000 page views. That’s not just clicks—that’s an audience spending time, learning her story, seeing her as more than just a profile picture.
Ryder: And then came Viktoria Winslow’s big breakout?
Joseph: Yeah—June 24, 2025. “From Ballerina to Bombshell.” That same day I told her she had 2,000 views. She wasn’t impressed. (laughs) But then the article kept climbing. Within a month—143,000 reads.
And here’s the thing: those aren’t random eyeballs. Those are potential fans, future collaborators, maybe even casting directors. When you control your narrative, you give people a reason to invest in your brand. That’s why this matters.
Ryder: Before OFI, what did creators have?
Joseph: They had follow-for-follow groups. Share-for-share threads. And a minefield of scams—fake agencies, people promising more subs for a fee, “coaching programs” that were just sales funnels. Press coverage wasn’t even in the picture.
Now? We’ve introduced the idea that you can build your own press portfolio. That your story is marketable. And that, in the right context, your work can lead to things way beyond a subscription page—like brand deals, licensing opportunities, or even TV and movie roles.
Ryder: You’ve mentioned trust as a big challenge.
Joseph: It’s the biggest one. Creators are constantly targeted by people trying to take advantage of them. That’s why we’re deliberate about creating trust-first initiatives, like our Chapters Program.
We launched in Melbourne and Denver. These are monthly, in-person meetups—creators only. No fans. No subs. No agencies. No sales pitches. Not even me. By our own rules, I’m not allowed to attend.
The goal is simple: give creators a real-life space to connect, collaborate, and support each other as business owners. Like Lila Monroe, our newest staff writer, said: “They’re not just content creators—they’re influencers.” And I completely agree.
Ryder: Where are we heading from here?
Joseph: Our priorities are to earn more trust, expand to more cities, and launch our next six magazines. We’re working with some major agencies and creator platforms, and our first Advisory Board meeting is on the calendar. For 90 days in, I think we’re on the right track.
Ryder: How can someone get involved?
Joseph: Number one, get featured. Right now, it’s $40–80 to be in the magazine. That’s the lowest it will ever be.
Number two, become an affiliate. It’s free. You earn money when anyone uses your link. Also, you can invite friends to become an affiliate, and earn from their networks, too.
Number three, join or lead a chapter. There is nothing like meeting other creators in a safe, scam-free environment, to share, collaborate and make friends. There is ZERO cost to attend. Your chapter organizer will be working with local brands to set up additional events, perks and opportunities. This is a huge opportunity to be a part of something local.
And last, but not last, "share". Instagram just added a repost button—use it. Introduce OFI to your network. We need your help giving a voice to the community.
Let me add this last thing. As a content creator, everyone wants something from you. Your fans and subs want you, your content, your attention, and as often as possible... They want it for free.
Agencies flat out advertise how rich they've become by "managing you". And there are a million people out there trying to scam you, because you are a money target.
First off: Fuck predatory agencies! Honestly, from my perspective, most agencies look and act like pimps.
The scammers: Fuck them too! As they sit alone in front of their gaming computers, in their tighty-whities hatching plans to use you.
I get how you can think, "Well buddy. You're no different."
The truth is, we are. We are massively different. Because the words you publish...Those are your words. The chapter you join, or lead? That's your chapter. The affiliate program you can sign up for for free? That's your money. You get paid first.
Only Fans Insider Magazine is different from all other magazines, because we are actually nothing with out you. We are simply a platform for you to share your story, and gather in small groups in cities across the globe.
You ARE Only Fans Insider Magazine.
And unlike any other magazine... We share our outfits with you. Vogue doesn't. Maxim doesn't. Vanity Fair doesn't.
No magazine out there, gives you a way to make money by getting press coverage and sharing it with your network. Full stop.
Thanks Ryder, for letting me add that last little bit. I felt it needed to be shared.
Ryder: No. Thank you. It's that type of brutal honesty that makes me proud to work for this magazine. We do the things that are right, over the things that a typical magazine wouldn't do.
Thanks for sitting with me.
Joseph: Thanks for having me.
Ryder’s Closing Thoughts
I’ve worked in media long enough to see that most publications—especially in adult and influencer spaces—are built to sell at their audience, not to serve them.
OFI is different. It’s not “about” you—it’s for you. It’s your platform to shape how the world sees you, in your own words, with your own story, and in a way that builds your brand long-term.
And that’s where it gets exciting. An article here isn’t just an ego boost—it’s an asset. It’s something you can show to a brand partnership manager, drop into a licensing pitch, or link to in an audition submission. It’s a living piece of your personal PR.
Ninety-one days ago, this didn’t exist. Now, it’s here. And from where I’m sitting? The next 90 days could be even bigger.
