In the new age of online creators, fans are always looking for new ways they can support their favorite content. Websites like Patreon have allowed them to do just that by giving fans a direct way to monetarily support creators while also being given exclusive content in exchange for their support. A new site named Fanfix has been making waves recently as a new way for creators to connect with their audiences and receive more monetary support.<\/p>\n

As with all new sites that handle money exchanges, some people have been a little skeptical about going all-in with Fanfix. While that caution is always a good instinct, there doesn\u2019t seem to be much reason to be suspicious of the site from a legitimacy perspective. That said, here\u2019s everything you need to know about Fanfix and what the platform offers.<\/p>\n

<\/a>What is Fanfix?<\/h2>\n

Fanfix<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As mentioned above, Fanfix is a website that\u2019s devoted to providing a new way for content creators to connect with their fans by providing exclusive, behind-the-scenes content gated behind a paywall. Creators are able to set their own prices for their exclusive feeds as well as being able to monetize their DMs by setting pay-per-message prices and virtual tip jars for their posts.<\/p>\n

Fanfix is a site that\u2019s meant to be exclusively for relatively large creators, as it\u2019s required for a creator to have at least 10,000 followers across all of their social media platforms in order to set up a page. This means that you won\u2019t be finding any smaller creators on the site, so you\u2019ll have to find other ways to support them as they won\u2019t be able to be hosted on Fanfix.<\/p>\n

All-in-all, it works like most other social media apps, namely Instagram<\/a>, but gates its content behind a paywall and is exclusively for successful content creators<\/p>\n

<\/a>How much does Fanfix pay creators?<\/h2>\n

Fanfix offers creators an 80-20 revenue split on all purchases. The site says that it uses its percentage of the earnings to \u201ccover operations and maintain the platform.\u201d As mentioned above, creators are able to set their prices for their feeds and DMs, so the revenue split may impact how high the prices creators charge will be.<\/p>\n

For comparison, Patreon has a flexible revenue split that changes depending on the services that creators opt in for but the fee ranges from 5% to 12% which makes Fanfix\u2019s 20% cut a little steep.<\/p>\n

<\/a>How is Fanfix different from Patreon and OnlyFans?<\/h2>\n

In terms of being similar to other platforms, Fanfix seems to be taking a lot of queues from OnlyFans. Fanfix and OnlyFans share the same 80-20 revenue split, follow a lot of Instagram\u2019s design principles, and have a very similar monetization model where content creators set a price for their feed, have virtual tip jars, and can charge fans to DM them. The two main differences between the two, however, are that Fanfix requires its creators to have previously popular social media accounts before signing up and the site is completely safe for work. On the site\u2019s brief FAQ page, it clearly states that explicit content and nudity are \u201cnot allowed\u201d which sets it apart from OnlyFans which functions essentially as a pay-per-view adult-content site.<\/p>\n

Patreon is fairly different from Fanfix. For starters, it offers multiple tiers of support meaning that fans are able to support creators for different amounts of money as opposed to a flat rate for their content feed. Additionally, the content on Patreon tends to be more diverse than what\u2019s on Fanfix. Fanfix allows creators to share pictures and videos with their subscribers while Patreon supports them as well but can also be a place for podcasts, community polls, live streams, and more.<\/p>\n

Because anyone can make a Patreon page, it\u2019s also a lot more creator-friendly since there are no required audience sizes in order to get started. Additionally, the revenue split on Patreon is also more creator-friendly as outlined in the section above. Patreon also allows explicit content and nudity, but unlike OnlyFans, it has a much wider focus than simply being a place for explicit content.<\/p>\n

<\/a>How to download the Fanfix app<\/h2>\n

Fanfix doesn\u2019t currently have an app on the iOS App Store, nor the Google Play Store on Android. There isn\u2019t much mention of whether a devoted app is coming soon or even in the works; however, there is a way to make an app on your home screen for it using a backdoor method.<\/p>\n

To do it, head to fanfix.io on your phone\u2019s internet browser. On Android devices, tap the three vertical dots in the top right corner, then select Add to Home Screen<\/em> from the dropdown menu. Type in a name that you want to add for the shortcut, then select Add<\/em>, then Add<\/em> again. On iOS, select the share icon on the bottom of the screen, then Add to Home Screen<\/em>. Type in the name you want for the shortcut and then select Add<\/em> in the top right corner.<\/p>\n
