Parody
A parody of “How to change your OnlyFans welcome message” (infloww.com, published Jul 20, 2024; their page stamped Oct 10, 2026). The advice is meant; the jokes are about software, and they stay out of the steps. Inflowwww is not affiliated with Infloww.
You change your welcome message in your OnlyFans settings, in the chat section, and it takes two minutes. The harder part is what to write: the best welcome messages open a conversation instead of making a pitch.
Why it matters
The welcome message is sent automatically the moment someone subscribes. It is the one message every fan receives, at the point their interest is highest. A good one:
- Sets the tone for every conversation that follows.
- Tells the fan what to expect, which reduces disappointment later.
- Gets a first reply, and fans who reply once are far more likely to reply again.
How to change it
At the time of writing, the steps are:
- Open your profile menu and go to Settings.
- Choose Chats.
- Turn on Welcome message. If you already have one, the current text appears.
- Write or edit the message, attach media if you want, and Save.
OnlyFans moves menu items from time to time. If you cannot find it, search the Help Center for "welcome message".
You can attach a photo, a short video or a voice note. A short voice note saying hello often feels more personal than any text.
You can also attach paid (locked) media to the welcome message. Some creators use it as an instant first sale; others find it puts new fans off before they have seen anything. If you try it, say plainly what is inside, and compare it against a free hello.
What to include
Keep it short enough to read in ten seconds. Four parts cover most of what you need:
- A warm hello in your own voice. Match the tone of your bio and posts.
- Thanks. One line is enough.
- What to expect. How often you post, what kind of content, and whether you take messages or custom requests.
- One question. Something easy to answer, so the fan replies. "How did you find me?" also tells you which promotion channel works.
Avoid long price lists, several links and anything that reads like a form letter. One clear next step is better than four.
Three examples to adapt
Short and friendly: "Hi, thanks for subscribing. New posts go up every Tuesday and Friday, and I read every message. What brought you here?"
Expectation-setting: "Welcome in. Here is how this page works: three new sets a week on the feed, behind-the-scenes on Sundays, and custom requests by message. Tell me what you would like to see more of."
With a welcome gift: "Thanks for joining. As a welcome, there is a subscriber-only photo set pinned at the top of my feed. Have a look and tell me which one is your favourite."
Use them as a structure, not a script. Fans can tell when a message was copied.
Keep it fresh
- Review the message once a month. Update it when your schedule, content or prices change.
- Test one change at a time, such as a different question or a voice note, and compare how many new subscribers reply in the first day.
- Keep a short follow-up ready for fans who reply, so the first conversation does not stall.
Keep a copy of the current text somewhere you can find it, so a rewrite starts from what worked. If you run Inflowwww, save it once as a Script; here is how Scripts works. Running a team? Write each creator's welcome message in that creator's voice, so new team members stay consistent.
The pitch. Welcome messages stay consistent when they live in one place, and Inflowwww's Scripts and Messages Pro hold every creator's welcome text, if you ever run a team. Deploy it yourself.
