Sign up walkthrough
A short, step-by-step walk through what to expect from sign up to your first shoutout.
Updated April 15, 2026
Signing up takes about five minutes. Here is what to expect.
Step 1. Make your account
Go to our home page and click Start free. Type in your email. Pick a password. We send you a code to check that the email is yours. Type the code in. That is it for the account.
You do not need a credit card to sign up. We will not ask for one until you choose to start trading.
Step 2. Pick your name
After you sign in, we ask what to call you. Use a stage name or your page name. This is the name other creators see when we match you up. You can change it later.
Step 3. Connect your OnlyFans
This is the part most people worry about. We never see your password. We use a one-time login flow that gives us a token, not a password. The token can only do the things you let it do. You can take the token away in one click any time.
Step 4. Tell us about your style
Pick your niche. Pick how many shoutouts you can send each day. We use this to find good matches. Be honest. If you say five a day and only do one, your matches will get cancelled and your trust score drops.
Step 5. Run your first match
Click Find a match. We will show you a creator who fits your style and size. If they look good, click Accept. If not, click Pass. Once you both accept, we line up the shoutouts. You will get a heads-up before each one goes out.
After the first trade
Watch the dashboard. Each new fan from your trade is counted with a green tick. Once both sides hit the agreed number, the trade closes. Your inbox is auto-cleaned a day later.
If you get stuck on any step, our contact form goes straight to a real human.
