Fans are constantly seeking for new methods to support their favourite content in the new era of internet artists. By providing fans with a direct means of financially supporting creators while also receiving unique material in exchange for their support, websites like Patreon have made it possible for them to do exactly that. Fanfix, a brand-new platform, has lately gained popularity as a new way for creators to interact with their followers and increase their financial support.
Some users have been hesitant to fully commit to Fanfix, as they have done with all new websites that deal with currency transactions. Although being cautious is always a good idea, there doesn't seem to be much cause to be wary of the site's validity.
What is Fanfix?
Fanfix, a website that offers unique, behind-the-scenes information that is locked behind a paywall, aims to provide content producers a new opportunity to engage with their followers. In addition to being able to establish their own rates for their premium feeds, creators may monetize their direct messages (DMs) by adding pay-per-message fees and virtual tip jars to their posts.
A creative must have at least 10,000 followers on all of their social media platforms in order to create a page on Fanfix, which is a website designed solely for somewhat significant creators. Due to their inability to be housed on Fanfix, smaller creators won't be present on the site, thus you'll need to find other ways to support them.
All-in-all, it works like most other social media apps, namely Instagram, but gates its content behind a paywall and is exclusively for successful content creators
How much does Fanfix pay creators?
Fanfix gives an 80-20 income split to producers on all sales. According to the website, its cut of profits is used to "cover operations and maintain the platform." Since creators may establish their own rates for their feeds and direct messages, the income split may have an influence on how much the creators charge.
Comparatively speaking, Fanfix's 20% cut seems high considering that Patreon offers a variable income split that varies based on the services authors choose to use, yet the charge ranges from 5% to 12%.
How is Fanfix different from Patreon and OnlyFans?
Fanfix appears to be stealing a lot of queues from OnlyFans in terms of being comparable to other platforms. Fanfix and OnlyFans have a very similar monetization approach where content producers choose a price for their feed, have virtual tip jars, and even charge followers to DM them. They also share the same 80-20 income split and many of Instagram's design concepts. The two key distinctions between the two, though, are that Fanfix is entirely safe for work and that its authors must have previously established prominent social network profiles in order to sign up. The site explicitly notes that explicit content and nudity are "not allowed" on its brief FAQ page, distinguishing it from OnlyFans, which effectively serves as a pay-per-view adult video site.
Compared to Fanfix, Patreon is quite different. To begin with, it provides numerous levels of support, allowing fans to give producers varying sums of money as opposed to a set charge for their material stream. Furthermore, compared to Fanfix, Patreon often has a wider variety of material. Fanfix and Patreon both enable creators to share images and videos with their followers, while the latter also offers support but also offers a platform for podcasts, user polls, live broadcasts, and other things.
There are no minimum audience numbers for starting a Patreon page, therefore it is also much more creator-friendly because anybody may create one. In addition, as mentioned in the section above, the income split on Patreon is much more creator-friendly. Contrary to OnlyFans, Patreon has a far broader purpose than only being a forum for sexual content, and it also permits nudity.
How to download the Fanfix app
Both the iOS App Store and the Android Google Play Store do not presently offer a Fanfix app. There isn't much information on whether a dedicated app is forthcoming or even under development, but there is a backdoor approach to create one for your home screen.
Go to fanfix.io in the internet browser on your phone to do the action. Tap the three vertical dots in the upper right corner of Android devices, then choose Add to Home Screen from the dropdown menu. Enter the name of the shortcut you wish to add, click Add, and then click Add once more. On iOS, choose Add to Home Screen after clicking the share symbol at the bottom of the screen. In the upper right corner, click Add after entering the desired name for the shortcut.
