Picture this, you just finished a massive cosplay photoshoot. The photos are edited and you’ve received all the final copies from the photographer. So now the question arises, where can I post cosplay pictures? There is a lot of places to share cosplay pictures online. However, you’ll need to consider do you want to just share them openly on social media or posted behind a pay wall for fans to unlock. That’s why I’m here to share which platforms to use for both options.
Where to Post Cosplay Pictures for Free on Social Media
If you’re looking to promote your cosplay and other marketing for it, posting on social media is the way to go. These pictures will be freely accessible by fans online who follow and even don’t follow you. There is many platforms to choose from, such as:
- Tumblr
- DeviantArt
- Website or Cosplay Blog
- Threads
- Ko-Fi
- Free to follow OnlyFans and Fansly
Where to Post Cosplay Pictures Behind a Pay Wall
If you’re trying to generate revenue, having a pay wall for some cosplay pictures is always an option. There’s lots of great platforms to share such pictures on that let you make the pictures be a separate charge to unlock or requires a monthly subscription.
- Onlyfans
- Fansly
- Patreon
- Ko-Fi Subscriptions or Shop
- Buy Me a Coffee
- Gumroad
- Instagram Subscriptions
Where is the Best Place to Post Cosplays
While there’s quite a few options for where you can post pictures of your cosplays, not all of them are the same. Some are definitely better than others. I would consider the following 3 platforms to be the best to post cosplays:
- Instagram – Instagram may be the best place to post cosplays. With the hashtags for discoverability and the fact the platform’s main focus is sharing photos, it makes it by far the best contender for sharing your photos. You also have the flexibility of making your posts free and accessible or putting them behind a paywall thanks to subscriptions.
- Onlyfans – In terms of photo platforms that are well designed for generating revenue, Onlyfans would be your best bet. However, it does lack with discoverability since there’s no hashtags, ways to optimize for SEO and people need direct links.
- Facebook – In third we have Facebook, while the platform is easy to access and share photos on it does lack monetization and discoverability features like Instagram.
