Struggling With Your OnlyFans Agency? Maybe The Universe Is Punishing You
Every once in a while, I write an article that I know is going to be a banger.
My last piece, “The Curse Of Success,” was exactly that.
The ultimate humblebrag, it was a summation of my painful struggle to build a profitable agency in the OFM business.
This article, on the other hand, is going to be a steaming pile of hot garbage.
No, that’s not me being insecure.
(I’m a genius, remember? I know these things.)
I’ll tell you exactly why, too.
The reason is simple: I done fucked up.
Actually now that I think about it, maybe you WILL enjoy reading this one.
But if you’re looking for an inspiring story of rags to riches, this ain’t it.
Get ready for a train wreck.
Mmm Punish Me Harder, Universe
After publishing my last article, I was legit elated.
My long journey of reverse-engineering a successful OnlyFans agency had finally ended in success.
I was no longer a struggling newbie or a frustrated intermediate – I was a certified pro.
I had made it.
Sure, it took me 10 f*cking months.
But I finally got to the point where I knew that I could take a random girl off the street and turn her into a top 1% creator on OnlyFans in just 30 short days.
This realization literally didn’t land until I started posting links to that article in the groups.
That’s when it hit me: holy sh*t, I actually did it.
Now, if I was a smart cookie – and not just an inspired genius – I would have done the smart thing and leveraged my recent elevation to Cool Guy status to launch a proper coaching program.
And, in fact, that WAS the plan.
I even started reaching out to my other Cool Guy friends and asking them if they wanted to jump on some of the coaching calls with me.
My plan was this:
- Create an A-Z course on my specific model of OFM
- Do weekly coaching calls with special guest experts
- Do MORE weekly coaching calls with just me where I answer questions
- Start running FB/YT ads
- Make a bazillion dollars
- Use that money to invest in HQ models, l337 bots, and high level coaching programs
You know, like a smart cookie would.
But instead, I made a series of stupid little b*tch mistakes that at BEST took me a few baby steps forward, and at worst just casually spun my wheels for the entire month of July.
Now that I think about it, I even RECORDED the entire damn course. I think I have something like 47 videos in there already.
Just sitting in my videos folder. Doing nothing.
I’ll be honest – I was REALLY excited about this coaching program.
I was planning on making it the be-all-end-all of OFM coaching programs.
My original $3800 $4800 Incubator is still pretty f*cking awesome and I don’t promote it at all.
Sure, some of the info in there needs to be updated. But the guts of a solid program are there and the program is 100% worth the $.
But with the addition of the course, guest speakers, and weekly calls, there was no doubt in my mind that the new program would be downright delicious.
And right as I was about to pull the trigger, I lost my confidence.
- What if my course gets leaked?
- What if people think I’m a phony?
- What if people clown me for not making $100k/month?
- What if my people think I’m trying to take advantage of them?
- What if my reputation gets ruined?
I let these negative thoughts get the better of me and ended up shelving the project indefinitely.
If you think about it, it’s pretty ironic actually, especially considering that I started selling my coaching program before I had ANY results at all.
And now that I actually have some decent results and a MUCH fuller understanding of how this business works, I’m too insecure to actually sell my coaching?
Weird.
But hindsight is 20/20. And here we are.
Besides, just because I did 99% of the work necessary to launch this program and chickened out at the last second doesn’t mean that I’ve been sitting on my ass for the past month.
Oh no, I’ve been busy.
But as I said in the intro, if you’re not true to yourself, the universe will make you pay.
Will I Ever Be Good Enough?
After avoiding the potential discomfort of launching my program, I started thinking of other things I could do.
“Maybe I’ll just pick a smaller goal. Something less ambitious.”
Strange, especially considering that to everyone outside my head, the mind-altering effects of my last article were likely still lingering in people’s minds.
However what’s ACTUALLY more likely is that everyone had forgotten about me and my article about 10 seconds after reading it.
But in my MIND people were still thinking great things about me.
And I didn’t want to ruin that by stepping into a higher role. Or something.
I decided on the perfect alternative choice of action: I would scale my agency.
I thought, “I know how to do this now. Why don’t I just onboard as many girls as possible and scale everything?”
Between my internal SOPs, video trainings, and world-class management style, I am sure that I could easily onboard another 5-10 girls a month without breaking a sweat.
At the end of the day, I am a lazy piece of sh*t when it comes to doing things I don’t want to do.
I’d rather do them once, figure them out, and then create some kind of asset that explains how to do it so that I can just refer people to the asset instead of actually communicating with them.
I’ve got an incredible recruiting training, traffic and mindset training for my models, and am 80% done with a custom sales manual that my top chatter is putting together.
All I have to do is hand these assets off to the right people and let them work their magic.
Sure, maybe I need to do a little management along the way.
But my internal assets are done the same way my YouTube videos and articles are: they’re entertaining, informative, come from a position of authority, and have a personal touch.
So not only am I providing the necessary information to TEACH my new people how to do sh*t, but I am ever so slowly gluing them to me with my charm, intelligence, and modesty.
“Wow, I can’t believe how smart and handsome this guy is. I totally want to do a good job for him!” – my employees, probably.
Ok, so that might be a bit delusional. But the point is that I’ve got everything figured out and don’t have to do any work to train new people.
Scaling my operation seemed like the next best choice after selling coaching.
However, I had recently fired my recruiter for not sending any DMs for a week and still allowing me to pay her.
So I didn’t really have any lead flow.
I then decided to do something that made me look like a complete fool.
BTZ Is (Almost) Always Right
One of the reasons why I’ve been so hesitant to go all in on scaling my agency – despite having all the tools to do so – is that I am sick to death of dealing with sh*tty models.
I’ve gotten to the point now where I refuse to work with anyone who doesn’t fit my definition of a Superstar Model.
- Hardworking
- Intelligent (yes, actually important)
- Has a good attitude
- Responsive
- Motivated
- Wants to do OF full time
- No other obligations in life
- Thinks I’m amazing
- Happy to work with me
Every single model I have right now fits this exact description. And let me tell you, they are not easy to find.
It doesn’t matter if you’re doing cold outreach, running IG ads, or buying them from a marketplace – most girls are not going to be like this.
Maybe other people can make it work with girls who don’t have all these characteristics, but I can’t.
Or rather, I don’t want to.
However, this is something that wouldn’t become clear to me until I made such a rookie mistake that I’m embarassed to write about it.
I am not a fan of IG ads because of the high volume of trash models, and with my recruiter on mandatory leave, that left only 1 option: buy a model from a marketplace.
Now, I’ve been in the game long enough that I know all the legit markets. Most – if not all of them – are in the Federation.
Still, I did some shopping around in different markets to see if I could find a girl that I liked.
When I shop for models, I have a few personal preferences:
- No South Americans
- No “blocked countries”
- No low time commitments
Anything else is fair game.
In general, I prefer nice white girls from America. But those are hard to find (and expensive when you do).
After a bit of shopping, I bought one girl from an obscure market only to realize that it was a scam marketplace.
First of all, how embarassing.
I – of all people – should know better.
I’m the Federation guy.
I’m the guy who’s been in the game for a long ass time with all the knowledge and wisdom.
I’m the super genius.
But I blindly just bought this $200 model without doing any due diligence.
What’s even dumber is that I have like 5 friends who literally OWN marketplaces and could have easily bought from them without having to worry about getting scammed.
After realizing it was a scam market, I was still optimistic.
I thought, “Well, maybe it’s not actually a scam. Maybe they just refused to give people refunds or something.”
BTZ himself must have told me 5 times that the market was a scam, but of course I thought I knew better.
I figured that since I had already spent the money, I would see how they handled it.
They provided contact info for a model, we scheduled a call (which she flaked on), and I received a refund.
“Ok, so maybe BTZ was wrong,” I thought.
After sending my refund, the owner of the market asked me for a vouch.
I thought, “Well ok, that’s a reasonable request.” So I wrote my vouch.
I sh*t you not – 10 minutes after I wrote that vouch, I started getting DMs from ALL KINDS of people.
- “Do you really vouch for them?”
- “You know they’re a scam, right?”
- “How much are they paying you per model they sell?”
- “You’re a f*cking scammer too! Small dick steroid user.” (my favorite)
Still, because I’m a naive retard, I defended my decision.
(I mean they DID give me a refund, right?)
Eventually, everyone convinced me they were a scam.
So I sent out a message across all my Telegram channels, groups, and email list saying how they were a scam.
The next morning, I woke up to a message from the owner who was freaking out.
I thought, “Sh*t, did I make a mistake?”
My guilt and paranoia won out and I thought, “Well, it’s only fair now that I send ANOTHER message to everyone telling people that they’re NOT a scam.”
I mean really, I can’t ruin someone’s perfectly legit marketplace just because of a bunch of rumors, can I?
Five minutes after sending out that message, BTZ hits me up again and is like BRO WHAT THE FUCK THEY’RE A SCAM MARKETPLACE.
But because I like to think outside the box, I didn’t back down and defended my decision (again).
Fortunately, scammers are f*cking retards.
Later that day I saw the same vouch on ANOTHER marketplace – meaning that the scammer was already trying to set up another hustle since his first one was probably burned.
So then I had to tuck my tail between my legs, send out a THIRD message to everyone across all my channels telling people that this market was a scam and to not buy from it.
It was a very embarassing situation to say the least.
Still, I knew that it would all blow over in a few days.
After that I’d learned my lesson – the same exact lesson I repeat probably 3 times a week in groups: ONLY BUY FROM FEDERATION MARKETS.
But just because a market is in the Fed doesn’t mean that the girl you get will be a prize, as I soon realized a few days later after making my next mistake.
Obedient > Hard Working > Hot
After that little screw up, I’d had enough.
I still wanted to scale my agency, but this time I would only buy from people that I knew personally.
Fortunately, I’m a well-connected guy, so I had my pick of who to buy from.
There was just one problem.
Markets are almost always overflowing with smelly South American girls with sh*tty phones.
I know I’ve mentioned it probably 1000 times already, but I HATE working with South Americans.
(The one exception is my Brazilian superstar who I love (and is Americanized from living in the states for 10+ years) and is the exception that proves the rule.)
At the end of the day, I decided to buy a Spansih girl from one of the VGT markets.
I figured that Spanish is European, so that must be different than South American, right?
Sure, they speak the same language, but that can’t be what makes them so awful, can it?
Only one way to find out…
This girl was marketed as being “very, very motivated and eager to start,” which was very encouraging to me.
She was also on the chunkier side, which I’m sure is why.
I’ve seen this a few times before in markets: fat girl is VERY eager to start and will work super hard because she knows she’s fat and HAS TO work extra hard to get anything done.
She also had big boobies (always a plus).
I agreed to take her on for the low low price of $200, thinking that if it didn’t work out at least I’d only be out two hundred bucks.
To her credit, she WAS very eager. And very responsive.
But not too smart.
Working hard is important, yes.
But so is following instructions.
Now, as someone who thinks they always know better than the establsihed professionals, I can relate.
If I find a method for ANYTHING, I almost never follow it exactly as the teacher describes.
I pretty much ALWAYS look at it and think, “Ok, I could do this instead of that. Oh and I should change this. And yeah that wouldn’t work, so…”
Which is dumb, if you think about it.
The person spend months or years perfecting their method, has likely tried all the things I think would “improve” it, and I think I’m going to come in and reinvent the wheel?
Unlikely.
So I guess I can’t be too mad at this chick for not copying the content I send her daily.
The way I do things with new models is like this:
My agency has a Telegram channel where every day, I’ll post 10-20 different TikToks/Reels that are trending and have gone viral for OnlyFans creators.
Some of these channels are free, some I pay for.
Literally ALL THE MODEL HAS TO DO is copy them as closely as possible.
That’s all.
Don’t think, don’t hurt your brain, don’t invent new sh*t.
Just copy the damn TikToks.
The successful girls – my two Superstars – do this.
Well, one of them has their own niche so she doesn’t really need to. She just posts stuff in her niche and it blows up because we’ve trained the algo.
The other one is an ace when it comes to thirst traps though. 150k+ views on her videos on brand new accounts like it’s nothing. She’s killing it.
The system we have is designed to take girls who have NO niche, no brand, just a vagina and boobies, and get them views and traffic and subs.
But in order to work, the system needs to be followed.
This fat Spanish chick is posting all kinds of weird sh*t – like her eating an ice cream on a stick – instead of copying the thirst traps I send her.
Anyway, she still has a good attitude, which is nice. And I haven’t cut her yet.
I’ll never cut a girl if she keeps working.
I almost cut both of my current superstars at one point, but they both kept going and now we’re besties.
I don’t know what will happen with this girl though.
Fortunately, management doesn’t take too much of my time at this stage, so I was able to focus on other things.
And in this case, “other things” was my first foray into the world of software sales.
Yalla Papi’s Shovel Emporium
OFM is a dark and ugly world with very few beacons of shining light that illuminate the entire ecosystem.
You guys really don’t realize how lucky you are to have intelligent, ethical, and well-meaning people at the top who worry about the good of the community.
I say this without a single shred of Super Genius Cockiness, either.
People like BTZ, Razvan, AccountStealth, Twixy, Lukebiz, Eli, SourceCode, Goodnight John, all the Fed market owners, and myself unironically care about pushing the OFM ecosystem – on Telegram and elsewhere – into legit territory.
(Note: Join the Federation Announcement channel to stay up to date on all Fed news and happenings.)
We ban scammers, mediate disagreements, correct disruptive behavior, and allow you underlings a playground to learn from and socialize with one another.
Could you imagine how the scene would look if every group owner was a f*cking pirate captain out to plunder booty from anyone who got within range?
Could you imagine how it would be if the names I listed above – instead of openly cooperating – were actively at war with each other?
It would be a complete nightmare for us AND you.
Instead, you’re afforded a network of playgrounds to ask your stupid newbie questions, Frankenstein your OFM agency, and escape the rat race.
Yes, there are still scammers.
But despite my story above, we’ve noticed a drop in number over the past month or two.
Things are steadily improving.
One of the main things that we keep an eye out for are people who are leaking courses.
They don’t even have to be OUR courses – we just don’t like people who leak OFM courses.
Many of us have our own offerings and wouldn’t appreciate if they were leaked, so it’s like an unspoken agreement that ALL OFM course leaks are off limits.
Some fedbans have even been handed out to people who defend leakers in groups.
Yes, there are small groups of people who choose to operate outside the Federation ecosystem, but when OFM blows up, nobody will know their name.
But they will know the Fed.
And they’ll like us, too.
Because we’re good people with good reputations and big communities full of hard working hustlers.
Not a bunch of scammers who act like teenagers that are mad at mommy and daddy.
Anyway, the reason I bring this up is because at the end of the day, all info products will eventually be leaked.
Other than imposing harsh consequences for buying and selling leaks, there really isn’t anything we can do.
Videos can be ripped, screens can be recorded, and PDFs can be duplicated.
Digital assets can be copied – free of charge – and distributed without restriction.
Software, on the other hand, cannot.
If you want a piece of software, you have to pay.
SAAS (software as a service) is an especially appealing business model.
I don’t know about you, but I have probably a dozen subscriptions to software tools running at any given time.
I don’t even think about it – I just pay every month.
As a self-styled business guy, I love earning subscription revenue for my services.
I’m not selling shovels, I’m selling a monthly shovel rental service. Even better.
This is one of the reasons I got into the proxy game.
Can’t copy and paste my proxy. Can’t screen record my proxy.
You want to use that sh*t, you gotta pay.
And while this is definitely an attractive business model, I definitely fucked up the launch of my first ever software tool.
Employees > Contractors > Partners
Baller first reached out to me when I set up the currently-defunct Simphunter Forums.
After a brief chat, I learned that he was a 17 year old Canadian developer with -$17 in his bank account.
Since I was still entertaining partnerships at the time, I proposed a deal: he would make a Bumble bot, I would sell it, and we’d split the money.
I gave him a proxy to practice with and waited the good news: that he had a working bot.
Every week it was a different story – the bot was ready, oh now it was broken, but now it’s ready, etc.
I sensed a little too much back and forth and waited on launching the bot.
I had absolutely no desire to launch a faulty tool that didn’t work.
Whenever I would ask about the Bumble bot, he would say something like, “The Bumble bot isn’t ready, but my Snapchat bot is almost done.”
Since I’m a 39 year old boomer, I never really got into Snapchat.
Yes, I understand that the DA > Snap > OF funnel is a thing, but I also never really perfected my dating app funnel method either.
Making Bumble profiles all day was just so damn boring.
And I was never able to figure out a solution to the VCC problem.
But since I was desperately searching for something to do OTHER than fulfil my destiny as the world’s leading educator on OnlyFans management, I decided to pivot our deal to launching the Snapchat bot.
I was told it was “ready,” we agreed on a split, and I started promoting.
We sold around 12 lifetime licenses in the first 24 hours.
At $500 a pop, not too shabby.
Yes, it was nice to help a broke 17 year old make his first money.
But more importantly, it showed me that there was MASSIVE potential in software sales.
Unfortunately, that was the extent of the silver lining.
The attached cloud got REAL dark, REAL quick.
For one thing, the bot barely f*cking worked.
It would work for two hours, crash, and stop working.
For another, the bot relies on some kind of AI to send messages to people. And as you know, language models work via prompts.
You provide a prompt, it teaches the AI how to respond, and then it responds based on what you’ve taught it.
This “feature” is intended to put control in the hands of the users, allowing them to teach the bot how to respond based on the specific model it is intended to represent.
In reality, it was a disaster.
Not only do most people not have any idea how to write a proper prompt, but the “base prompt” that was hard coded into the bot was spitting out strange errors.
For example, in conversations with people, it would write, “hey so go follow me on <onlyfans link> and we can talk there.”
But it would actually write <onlyfans link>… instead of inserting the actual link.
The fact that I neglected to mention that the bot would require (paid) tokens to send messages didn’t make things any better either.
The way it works is like this: once the license fee is paid, in order to send messages, the bot requires tokens.
$30 for 30,000 tokens (messages) doesn’t sound exhorbitant to me, but the fact that I didn’t mention it in the sales copy was my mistake.
Once this was brought to my attention by a few members, I offered everyone who wanted it a refund.
Fortunately, we only had 1 taker.
Unfortuntaely, the bot was still riddled with issues.
A week or two after launching, I popped into the group (yes, we made a group) and asked how everyone was enjoying the bot.
I’ll spare you the details, but suffice to say nobody had anything good to say.
This was not how things were supposed to go.
This bot was SUPPOSED to be a tool that allowed people to run dozens of Snapchat accounts concurrently.
I still believe there is potential there. And I also believe that Baller is talented enough to make it work as advertised.
But unfortunately, my belief doesn’t provide any leverage to do anything about it.
I don’t know how to code bots like this.
So all I can do is crack the whip and hope he rescues it so we can do a proper launch when it’s finally ready.
When we launched the bot, I told people they could contact either of us to purchase. After all, we were partners, right?
The difference is that he SPENT the money (sorry, invested) on a new computer and phone whereas I held my funds in case there was a problem.
I mean, if I was a broke 17 year old, I’d probably do the same thing.
But I’m not 17. I’m 39. And I should have known better.
Still, as I’m fond of saying: you can’t put the sh*t back in the donkey.
However, now it leaves me in a position where I have 12 people who bought something from me that are unsatisfied and I have no way of making it up to them other than providing a higher quality version of the tool OR giving them their money back.
I’m not crazy about sending out $6k of my own money to make this right, either.
And while it’s easy for me to blame Baller and say it’s his fault for not adequately testing the tool, it’s ultimately my fault for launching without making sure everything really WAS ready.
For example (and this idea literally just occured to me), we could have made the tool available to 100 people for FREE in an open beta, gotten feedback, and then perfected the tool before doing a major launch.
Fortunately, I think we’ve finally gotten things ironed out.
Baller is making some changes to the bot now that will finally make it work as advertised.
But I’ve learned by now not to count my little chickies before they hatch.
Of course, this didn’t stop be from launching my next software tool, which I’ll go over in the next section.
Thinking In Terms Of Expected Value
There’s a concept in gambling – but especially poker – called “expected value.”
I first learned about this concept from one of my favorite bloggers of all time: Billy from Forever Jobless.
I haven’t been to his blog in a while, but some of his older articles are absolutely incredible.
Specifically, this one on expected value.
It’s a confusing concept, but I’ll try to break it down for you.
This is the explanation from Investopedia:
In statistics and probability analysis, the expected value is calculated by multiplying each of the possible outcomes by the likelihood each outcome will occur and then summing all of those values.
By calculating expected values, investors can choose the scenario most likely to produce the outcome that they seek.
As a former poker player, Billy uses examples from poker to explain expected value:
Let’s pretend there is $30 in the pot after I raise pre-flop and only 1 player calls. The flop comes, and I don’t have anything. My opponent checks to me. I bet $15.
“But why would you bet if you didn’t have anything?”
Simple, I’d bet here if I thought it was +EV. I’m risking $15 to win $30.
If I think my opponent is going to fold more than 1/3rd of the time, then I should bet (because for every 3 times you bet you only have to win once to break even).
If I think he would fold less than that, I shouldn’t bet $15.
Most amateurs’ thought process if they were told they should bet would be: “ya, but what if he has something?”, “I don’t have anything”, “what if he calls my bluff?”, or “I don’t want to risk it”.
These questions are irrelevant to what makes the play +EV or not.
If based on the player/situation, you feel he would fold greater than 1/3rd of the time, it is correct to bet.
Most amateurs would pass up that spot to bet. Most professionals would not.
Let’s pretend based on that player/hand example that the player would fold 40% of the time. Let’s pretend you’d lose the hand 100% of the time he calls (you wouldn’t, but again we’re keeping the example simple). Assuming these things, here is what would happen:
60% of the time, you’d lose $15.
40% of the time, you’d win $30.
60% x ($15) = -$9
40% x $30 = $12
-$9 + $12 = $3
EV = +$3
Your EV is $3, because that’s your expected profit from making that bet.
Whether you lose on this one individual hand is irrelevant. You make $3 in EV.
Over the long run, all of the +EV spots add up. A LOT.
Note: for people reading this without much of a background in poker or EV, you don’t add the money already in the pot to your loss if you lose the pot, because it’s already in the pot regardless of whether you win or lose the pot.
Each situation itself is it’s own EV calculation.
It doesn’t matter what happened in the past.
You want to choose the +EV route as many times as possible. Don’t let the past dictate your thought process on making the correct decision.
Most amateurs would have passed up the $3 in EV on that hand because they wouldn’t have known it was a +EV play.
Professionals on the other hand will put themselves in thousands of situations where they can squeeze a little extra EV out of their opponents.
Because it’s hard for amateurs to understand why they’re making the plays they’re making, they don’t realize the pros are making mathematically correct plays, despite seeming lucky to the untrained eye.
“Oh, he’s just lucky I didn’t have anything there. He’s betting all the time, he must be getting great cards. Just wait until I get some cards!”
While the amateur is “waiting for cards”, the professional is picking up free money in all the spots the amateur doesn’t have anything. He can, and should, because it’s +EV to do so. In the short term, he might win or lose using this aggressive strategy.
In the long term, someone consistently making +EV plays is going to make all the money.
It’s mathematically impossible for them not to.
Billy is extremely intelligent and the article is one of his best, if not his best.
I never started thinking in terms of EV until I began to make money with OFM.
Once I started making money, I switched my thinking from, “Will people buy this?” to “What are the odds I’ll make my money back on this?”
This became especially relevant to me once I made my video editing tool.
I have virtually no developing skills to speak of, but I know the OFM world and what people want.
I know that one of the biggest problems with TikTok is that it’s very hard to automate like other social platforms.
There are tons of tools out there that will allow you to create Instagram accounts, post, like, follow, and run all kinds of actions in the background while you sleep.
And not just on one or two accounts – on hundreds or even thousands of accounts.
But since TikTok is a newer platform, has limited non-mobile functionality, and is incredibly strict, the barrier for entry is much higher.
After buying WebCam Riches nearly a year ago, I befriended my super big homie Denzel, who patiently answered all my questions about getting started in this industry.
About a month into the game, he put me onto Nathan Ashton’s course that was set to be released in early October.
Denzel hyped it up quite a bit, mentioning how Nathan was in the War Room, how he was making big bucks from OFM, and how he had a TikTok tool that would “stack” videos on top of each other to make them unique for TikTok.
“The tool is really why I’m buying the program,” he confided.
My first real OFM agency brother, I trusted Denzel’s judgement. And since a few of my webcam girls had actually made some money, I had the funds to invest.
Now, say what you want about Nathan Ashton and his course, but as far as I’m aware, he was one of the first to market.
And with nearly 1000 students in his Telegram group, that means he’s made around half a million dollars from selling his program.
Pretty damn impressive.
Unfortunately, the video stacking tool that Nathan promised was eventually pulled from the offer, which pissed off a lot of people, including Denzel.
Determined to figure out a solution, the two of us spent the next 36 hours breaking our rbains on a VERY complex command-line tool called ffmpeg.
For the uninitiated, ffmpeg is a batch video editing tool that allows you to perform bulk edits across multiple videos at once.
So instead of editing one video at a time, you can edit multiple videos at a time.
And instead of only editing one aspect of a video (brightness, contrast, hue, etc), you can edit many.
The tool is incredibly complex, but between the two of us we managed to put together a working solution that spit out stacked videos just like Nathan’s tool.
Sadly, the “tool” was a series of ffmpeg commands, meaning it was hard to teach people how to use and pretty much unmarketable.
I forgot about this until a few weeks ago when I had my lightbulb moment about software sales.
While brainstorming new tools to bring to the OFM community, I figured I might as well dust off my old idea and pay an actual dev to make something with a proper GUI.
All in all, I ended up paying $750 for the tool in it’s current iteration.
I didn’t really have any super complex EV calculations going through my mind, but I had the basics:
“If I spend $750 making this, will I at least make $750 back?”
Even if I was a complete retard, I felt like I could sell at least enough copies of the bot to cover my costs.
Not only that, but I would have an uncomplicated version of an incredibly valuable tool.
With a little effort (or a $300/month VA), I could create multiple TikTok accounts of my models to multiply their traffic with virtually no additional work on my part.
Sure, I’d have to maybe make a few videos explaining how to use the tool and upload the content to TikTok, but so what?
Plus, any extra money that I made could go into adding new features that would make the bot even more useful.
And more useful = more expensive.
One feature that I’m interested in adding is a “compilation” feature that concatenates (attaches one after another) clips into massive compilations.
Imagine how easy it would be to grow a YouTube channel with dozens or even hundreds of 15/30/60 minute TikTok compilations.
I could literally hire a VA to download Tiktoks, concatenate them with the tool, and upload them to YouTube.
Easy money baby.
And really, isn’t that what OFM is all about?
Lucky for me, I was able to make my money back in the first 24 hours after launching the tool.
My plan now is to reinvest the profits into adding new features like the ones I mentioned. You can view details about the tool here on my store.
With my alternative revenue streams itch officially scratched, I decided to take another crack at what I really should have been doing this entire time.
No, not selling coaching.
Scaling my agency.
The Secret To Management
I’m on record many times saying that OFM is broken up into 3 categories:
- Recruiting models
- Getting traffic
- Selling content (chatting)
However, there’s another very important aspect of OFM that I’m adding to that list: management.
Especially if you are recruiting remotely, proper management of your models is CRUCIAL to the health of your agency.
Good management literally makes EVERYTHING better.
- Your models will work harder
- They will forgive any mistakes you make
- They’ll be patient if their results don’t come immediately
- They’ll recommend you to their friends
- They’ll never leave you
I’m not sure why, but management is rarely talked about in OFM circles. It’s all about traffic, recruiting, and chatting.
And sure, without those things, you don’t really have an agency.
When I first started out, I had a very different idea of management than I do now.
At first, I was very much a hard ass with the girls that I recruited.
I demanded that they be on time, that they provide the content on a strict schedule, and that they responded to my DMs in a timely manner.
If they didn’t, then I would reprimand them like a strict father.
If the reprimands didn’t work, then I would get rid of them.
These days, I take a completely different approach.
Now, I act more like the cool uncle.
I don’t know if you have any neices or nephews, but being an uncle is super fun.
You hang out with the kids for a day, take them to the mall, buy them presents, have a good time, and then drop them back off.
It’s like what I imagine a grandparent being, except you’re not old.
When you take on a new model, you have to understand that these girls know literally f*ck all about how this entire process works.
Most new models you’ll sign think the game is STILL about how sexy they are, how good they are in bed, or how turned on they can get a guy.
And while all those things are important, I would argue that they are really only 10% of the entire game.
They usually have no idea that the other 90% is figuring out how to trick social media platforms into showing your content to as many people as possible.
In my opinion, the first step you need to take with a new model is to explain this to them.
Without this understanding, they’ll be operating under the wrong assumption, which will ultimately hinder their progress.
Back in the early days of OFM, the common wisdom was to keep your models in the dark about everything that you were doing behind the scenes.
There were a few implied benefits to this:
- It would seem like you had “mysterious powers”
- The model wouldn’t be able to reverse-engineer your methods and do it on her own
- She would become reliant on you to promote her
This method never appealed to me (mainly because I am a blabbermouth) but also because I believed that by explaining every little thing you were doing, you would be able to display a level of expertise (and thereby, authority) that the model had never seen before.
Any time I sign a new model, I provide two video playlists for them to watch:
- Mindset training
- Traffic training
If I can get the model aligned with me in these two areas, her success is virtually guaranteed.
This accomplishes quite a few things for me:
- She’ll know exactly how she’s supposed to act
- Her expectations will be accurately set
- She’ll be mentally prepared for tackling the hardest part of OFM right out of the gate: nailing the TikToks and Reels.
- I’ll look really smart
- I’ll establish a frame in which I am the authority
Between these videos and my 20+ page sales letter, I’ve set the filter so strong on new models that I quite literally am ONLY signing superstars at this point.
Not because my sales skills are so great, but because superstars are the only ones who make it past all the filtering.
Side note: this is ALSO why I don’t work with smelly south Americans – if they don’t speak English, I can’t hypnotize them.
The reason I bring all this up is because the other day I just signed my 3rd superstar.
Signing a model for me is a big deal these days.
Even with my recruiter (who I rehired) sending 8,000-10,000 DMs a month, I am lucky to sign one new girl a month.
Don’t get me wrong – I would love more, but 99% of them just don’t make the cut.
This last girl I signed is a true gem – a sweet 20 year old American girl who was smiling from ear to ear during our Zoom call.
I even made a comment about it during our call, and this was her response.
“I had some health issues last year, so now I just try to see the positive in everything.”
Health issues aside, how many of you have ever had a model tell you that they tried to see the positive in everything?
I can’t speak for everyone, but I tend to forget how dark this industry is.
Blackhat marketing, anonymity, scammers, and sex work – it doesn’t get any darker than that.
That’s why honest dealers in the community – like the Federation members I mentioned earlier in this article – are so valuable.
And while the rest of my models aren’t deleriously happy all the time, they all have a positive attitude about what we are doing together.
They are in it to win it.
Which, unfortunately, is more than I can say for myself sometimes…
Win By Doing The Thing Nobody Else Wants To Do
At the time of this writing, I have been in the OFM game for nearly a year.
It’s almost been a year, and only now I’m getting to the point where I am ready to scale.
With all the information I have now, I feel like I could EASILY teach someone to get to where I’m at in under 30 days.
It’s really not that hard.
But still.. I KNOW that I could be doing more.
And worse yet, I KNOW exactly what I need to do to be doing more.
Sure, selling software and all that is fine. But ultimately it’s just a distraction.
The path has already been laid out by people before me. And it’s not through selling software, writing articles, or even scaling with more models.
I only chose those paths because they were easy.
It’s not hard to pay or partner with a dev to make something for you, or to pay a VA to send DMs for you.
That requires virtually no effort or time investment on my part.
And if it’s easy for me, then it’s easy for everyone.
The HARD sh*t is where the money is.
It’s true in OFM just like it’s true everywhere else: if you want the big bucks, then you gotta do the things nobody else can or is willing to do.
Post an ad to hire a VA and you have 150 applicants in under 24 hours.
But how many coaches are there?
How many model marketplaces are there?
These two paths are what will really up my game, but I don’t know why I’m beating around the bush to make it happen.
I know most people have zero interest in selling coaching services, so I won’t harp on that, except to repeat for the billionth time that it’s an incredible business model.
I believe that a model marketplace, on the other hand, is truly the key that will push me to the next level.
Being a broker for model contracts is a straight up cheat code that will give you near-superpowers in the OFM community.
When you run a market, you are offered a few distinct advantages over your OFM brothers:
- You have a MUCH larger pool of models to choose from for your own agency
- You can make money from selling the models (duh)
- You are able to connect with high level agencies that will pay top dollar for the best models
- You can negotiate special contracts that include things like affiliate links and rev share
- You can use the marketplace traffic to fuel other groups and offerings
I’m getting sick of mentioning BTZ so much in my articles, but he’s a perfect example of someone who has leveraged his marketplace to grow his brand into something unprecedented.
Even though we both started around the same time, he’s obviously come a lot further than I have.
Part of that is due to the fact that while I was perfecting the art of selling hair straighteners, he was building other businesses.
But after watching him grow from the sidelines over the past year, if I had to put my finger on the ONE thing that has helped him pop off, it would be his market.
To call it a “market” is almost an injustice. His operation is more like a distribution center.
Having known him before he was a cultural icon, I can tell you 100% that it’s his massive and well-run marketplace that is fueling his empire.
I mean, these days you could say he’s got enough momentum that it’s not as much of an issue.
But regardless of how big you are in the game, legit marketplaces are always a curiousity.
I can’t speak for everyone, but despite never having bought a model until recently, I join all the market channels just to see what’s out there.
The eye candy is nice, but you never know – you might find a girl there that you like.
Statistically speaking, I probably won’t – just because my filters are too strong.
But you never know.
That said, I realize my filter is probably set a little stronger than most.
Plenty of agency owners work with South American and Eastern European models and do just fine.
Personally, I like American white girls. Or at least AmericanIZED white girls.
Not too many of those on markets these days.
But who cares?
The market wouldn’t be for me, it would be for my customers. If they want south Americans, who am I to decide they’re not worth the money?
Once upon a time back in the OBH days, I had a marketplace. Didn’t sell a single model that didn’t end in a refund.
The whole experience was so annoying that I shelved the idea for good.
These days, the game has changed.
Power creep has upped the level of model markets to the point where there’s now a clear framework for how they should operate, whereas before I was making it up as I went along.
Not only that, but BTZ literally has a full program on how he sets up and runs his markets.
And on top of that, we’re good friends and he knows I’d promote the sh*t out of his course once my market actually takes off.
It’s just… the refunds bro.. I don’t want to deal with them. What a headache.
But I’m sure he has something in place where it’s someone else dealing with it and not him. So what am I worried about?
Rebuilding my model market is one of those things I’ve been interested in doing, that I KNOW will help me up my game, that I just haven’t been doing.
So why don’t I do it now, you ask?
Well, I have a deal worked out with God.
Supernatural Deals
Since getting into OFM, there have been a few key moments that have caused me to level up.
In no particular order, they are:
- Starting the SimpHunter blog
- Joining Razvan’s mastermind and unlocking the power of TikTok and Instagram
- Paying my chatters 25%
- Selling coaching and info products, specifically my ULTRA recruiter training
- Selling mobile proxies
The last one, selling proxies, has been especially transformative.
Not only has it given me a nice little boost in cash flow, but it’s given me a taste of what I assume marketplace owners experience in terms of being able to connect with agency owners of different levels.
Don’t get me wrong – the business is not without its problems.
First of all, despite my incredibly well-written guide on proxies, I still get a lot of stupid questions.
Second, until recently I was having daily issues with malfunctioning devices.
Third, it kind of creeps me out to have nearly 200 cell phones connected to mobile data and wifi at the same time.
Fourth, and perhaps most frustrating, is that getting bulk SIM cards activated with plans that fit my use case is incredibly difficult.
To the last point, I’ve had to enlist the help of a third-party agent to scour deals for me from the 3 main telecoms in the United States to open lines in bulk.
In other words, scaling the business is not easy.
If I was able to scale freely since starting to sell proxies a few months ago, I’d have at least 500 connections set up by now.
Hopefully these delays will be a thing of the past sometime in the next few months, but for now they’re still an issue.
But what business is without problems?
One of the best things about this business is how it’s connected me with lots of people that I wouldn’t otherwise have connected with.
EVERYONE in OFM needs proxies. Literally everyone.
And if you want high quality mobile proxies with unlimited data, where else would you go?
Even with no advertising, I still get 5-6 people hit me up every day asking to buy a proxy.
A few weeks ago, a user named God sent me a DM and asked for some info about my proxies.
His specific use case was fueling his full suite Bumble/Tinder bot with hundreds of concurrent IPs to create and run accounts.
I’ve seen a lot of bots in my day, but this was some next level sh*t.
Unfortunately, the way my proxies work is not something that would work for his use case.
They’re good for just about anything you would want to do – EXCEPT what God wanted to use them for.
The one weakness of my proxies is that you’re limited to 1 IP at a time.
People who run dating app traffic en masse want multiple concurrent connections so they can create and run several accounts at once.
I go over this in my proxy article, but with my proxies it’s recommended to run actions on no more than 5 accounts at once.
If you can segment those actions during 6 hour blocks, then conceivably you could run actions on 20 accounts through 1 proxy.
But it’s rare that someone has a setup that is sophisticated enough to work it that way, especially with dating apps.
Still, his skill level made me think that maybe it would be a good time to expand my proxy offering to have something more geared towards dating apps.
I reached out to an old friend of mine who I knew was in the proxy business and began picking his brain.
A few hours later, I had a solution.
An ethically sourced pool of mobile proxies, with nodes in all major cities across the world, would form the basis of my brand new personalized proxy servers.
Think ProxyEmpire, but not slow as fuck, expensive, or gained by unethical means.
After some back and forth with God, we reached an agreement – he would integrate my new proxy solution into his app and I would provide mobile proxies at an UNHEARD of rate of $5/gb.
Yes, you read that right – $5 per gigabyte.
Now before you get too excited, understand that this deal is NOT available for everyone.
It is ONLY available to him because he is going to be buying terabytes at a time.
For the unwashed masses, the pricing will start at $10 and go down to $5 based on the amount of bandwidth you buy at once.
God aside, this is a MAJOR DEAL with applications FAR beyond OFM.
All I have to do is build a dashboard, set up a payment gateway, and start promoting.
Once that’s done, I promise I’ll stop procrastinating.
Moving Forward
I really, really, really need to focus. I am not an organized guy.
- Logical? Yes.
- Handsome and brilliant? Obviously.
- Hard working? Sometimes.
Organized? Definitely not.
I just feel like I have so much sh*t going on that it’s hard to keep track of everything.
I don’t feel overwhelmed, but I just don’t feel like I’m being efficient.
Write articles, make videos, sell products, sell software, sell proxies, recruit models, manage groups… it’s just too much to keep track of.
My agency, on the other hand, pretty much runs itself at this point.
Instead of starting new sh*t, I need to focus on automating the stuff I already have going on.
If I could get everything else to the point where it’s as automated as the agency, I’d be sitting pretty.
But instead of digging deeper on any one of these, I get distracted and think OOOH LOOK, SHINYYYYY.
Even now, what’s going through my head is that I need to hurry up and finish this proxy dashboard so I can start selling coaching and open a model marketplace.
As if those two things were as simple as grabbing some groceries at the super market.
Even as I just wrote those last few lines, I was reminded of other projects that I wanted to start.
I might have a problem.
But like Jay Z said, “Mo money, mo problems.”
And if I’m going to have problems, I’d rather they be good problems like having too many projects going on at once.
Before I started OFM, I would get literally zero notifications on my phone.
Now, I wake up to 10-20 a day.
I couldn’t imagine going back.
Sure, it’s fun. But it’s not efficient.
I need to pick the 2-3 most important tasks to focus on, exclude all else, and smash those buttons until I hit the point of diminishing returns.
Thanks for reading my blog.
