In the past 6 days since my last post, a lot has happened.

Well, a lot and not a lot. That’s the thing with this business — it feels like you never make any progress, yet things start to slowly move towards the direction you want: making lots of money.

Sure, some people start out further along than others. Some start making money faster than others.

But at the end of the day, the fundamentals never change.

Recruit, promote, expand.

Of course, how you break those down is where the magic happens.

In this post, I’m going to do something a little different — I’m going to explain all the things I’ve done wrong in the past month and a half since starting this agency.

Mistake #1 — Recruiting fresh models with no OF

The first mistake I made in this journey was focusing almost exclusively on models that had never done OnlyFans before.

In fact, most of the reasons why models are frustrating can be traced back to this one issue: they don’t have any experience doing OF.

I mean think about it: what are the BIGGEST problems that people face with models?

• They don’t follow through
• They don’t deliver content
• They don’t show up on time

All symptoms of not doing what you need them to do, which essentially comes down to 95% creating content and 5% verifications.

That’s not to say that ALL brand new models without an existing OF will be garbage. Everybody has to start somewhere.

But given the choice, I’d rather choose to work with someone that is already somewhat familiar with the work required to be successful.

And besides, struggling OF creators are pretty much your ideal customer. They’ve tried on their own, realized that they’re not equipped to tackle the job by themselves, and are now open to the idea of someone taking all the boring work off their hands so they can focus on their strength: creating content.

I’d heard this a few times in the past, but to me it always seemed like a risk. Experienced OF creators would probably want a bigger %, they’d be more picky about how they were promoted, and would probably be harder to manage.

But I’d rather have someone who is HARD to manage than someone who is IMPOSSIBLE to manage.

If they ghost, then they’re impossible to manage.

Anyway, this is probably the most important realization that I’ve had in the past month and a half.

Up until now, I’d been exclusively trying to recruit fresh girls without an OF. Not intentionally, it’s just that if you’re not specifically looking for girls WITH an OF, you’re less likely to find them.

My recruiting approach up until now was the “spray and pray” spamming of hundreds of accounts per day in hopes that some of them were interested.

And while that did get me to where I am today (7 total models of varying quality), I feel like if I had focused from the start on trying to recruit ONLY girls who had already started, I’d be way further ahead than I am now.

Does this mean I won’t recruit girls who are brand new? Of course I will. My best model (more about her later) has no experience with OF and is crushing it her first week.

But those are clearly the exception and not the rule.

Mistake #2 — Not constantly recruiting

Since starting this journey, I’ve gone through two periods of recruiting. The first period was during my first 2–3 weeks of starting the agency. Then I took a 2 week break before going through another week of recruiting.

One of the things that I’ve noticed is that when I am NOT recruiting, my overall productivity tends to slow way down. What’s strange is that I don’t “feel” any less busy when I’m not recruiting. I still feel like I am stretched thin trying to do all kinds of stuff that I’m not doing.

But when I don’t recruit, I don’t have that constant flow of potentially new “customers” coming in.

This is a very unpredictable business where one day you have a model who is on board, and the next day she comes up with some bullshit reason why she can’t send you the videos she promised.

This happened with my 2nd favorite girl who was doing great until one weekend she got into a massive fight with her husband. Then she was on her period. Then someone gave her a THC gummy at the strip club and she had to go to the hospital. Then then then…

She hasn’t sent me any content in a week. And this was a girl who was on track to be at $10k/mo in just a few months.

But that’s just how it is. And that’s why you need to constantly be recruiting (at least when you’re starting out).

Mistake #3 — Spending too much time in group chats

When I started recording this journey a month and a half ago, I had nothing. No network, no skills, no experience.

I did the journey posts as a way to keep myself motivated, but what I quickly realized was that it was an incredible way to shorten my learning curve by building a network of people who were in the same business.

I got a ton of comments on my posts, DMs from people offering tips, and started joining group chats. I even started a group chat that I got tremendous value from because of the quality/experience of the people in there.

So in my mind, I started to equate group chats with value. The more people I could network with, the shorter I could make my learning curve.

The benefits of the group chats are pretty insane.

Here’s a few:

1. Partnerships with people who promote my models
2. Product recommendations for new software that increases efficiency
3. Tips and tricks for recruiting and promoting models
4. Other group chat recommendations

This saves me a ton of time trying to figure out all this shit on my own. This is also a pretty new industry, so it’s not like you can just google all of this. Even on blackhat forums, there’s not a lot of info out there.

So the value of being in a group chat or two and being able to float a question to 500 people is insane.

The problem, however, is that these group chats are incredibly distracting. Sometimes I spend more time on the chats than I do working on the actual business. And while getting knowledge is good and all, when your automatic reaction to the “what should I do now” impulse is “check the group chat,” it starts to hurt your productivity.

So now what I’ve started doing is keeping Telegram and Discord closed while I’m working. I have my phone next to me and will check it on there every hour or so in case I need to communicate with someone specific.

I’m not a casual user of social media anymore, but I see these chat apps now the way I saw social media — something to do to kill time while you’re waiting in line at the grocery store.

Mistake #4 — Procrastinating on spending money

I can’t speak for anyone else, but I have a serious problem when it comes to making decisions that involve spending money.

Let’s take a simple example — a few weeks ago, I had someone scrape an adult jobs website for me to get 7000 phone numbers of girls who were looking for work in the adult jobs industry.

Even if most of them were garbage, I figured that there were at least a few gems in there and worth reaching out to. However, doing so would mean that I would have to pay $120 for a bulk texting app for my phone.

I spent a full day looking for cheaper alternatives and nothing really fit the bill.

Instead of jumping on it and starting my outreach (this was two weeks ago), I agonized over spending the money.

“Do I really need it? Could I spend it on something else? Gee my bank account is getting kinda low…”

$120 is not that much. It’s not going to prevent me from eating or paying my rent. But it’s a psychological blow that I didn’t want to inflict on myself.

So instead, I did something much worse. I waited two weeks before I finally deciding to bite the bullet and start my outreach again.

Once I got the app going, I realized two things:

• It didn’t work like I thought (I got blocked from my carrier pretty quick)
• I didn’t even have to pay for it (the functionality I needed was free)

But by waiting two weeks, I wasted all that time. I could have figured this out ages ago just by digging a little deeper.

Here’s another example: about a week ago I discovered a course that teaches how to recruit struggling OnlyFans models (not brand new ones). I’ve watched a few of this guy’s videos and they are legit.

The problem? It’s $200.

So of course, what did I do… I hesitated, struggled, asked myself the same questions (“do I really need it?”) instead of just buying it and moving on with my life.

That said, if I had been constantly recruiting (mistake #2), then this wouldn’t be as much of an issue because I’d have a more stable lead flow. But I wasn’t.

I’m gonna buy that shit today though. For real this time. Really. I think.

Moving forward

Here are the things I want to focus on in the next week or two:

• Sending 150–200 cold outreach messages per day
• Recruiting struggling models (not brand new ones)
• Putting my models’ content on porn sites (including setting up profiles on all sites via my tool)

Let me know if I’ve missed anything.
