What is OSOM?
OSOM is an open-source self-hosted platform that content creators can use to monetize exclusive content by selling subscriptions directly to their fans. It is designed as an ethical alternative to OnlyFans.
Some key features of OSOM include:
- Allows creators to easily publish exclusive content behind a paywall
- Handles subscription payments and payouts to creators
- Provides subscriber management tools
- Includes content hosting for videos, images, documents etc.
- Customizable to match creators' branding
- Available to self-host for free with full data ownership and control
As OSOM is open-source software, creators have complete control and ownership over their data and earnings. There are no commissions or fees taken by middlemen. This allows creators on OSOM to make more money from their subscribers.
The self-hosted nature also means OSOM avoids issues such as arbitrary account suspensions that often happen on centralized platforms. Creators retain autonomy over their presence online.
For fans, OSOM provides a simple way to support their favorite independent creators through monthly subscriptions. It can be a more ethical alternative to OnlyFans from both the creator and subscriber perspective.
