Oftentimes I feel like being an Onlyfans agency owner is a lot like playing a disgustingly unforgiving video game.

When you start out, you suck.

Your gear is shit. You don’t understand how the world works. And simple enemies whoop your ass with little trouble, forcing you to start from the beginning again.

Every time you die to an enemy, you take note of how they killed you and try to avoid making the same mistake.

Of course, then they kill you a different way.

So you start over again.

If they DON’T kill you and you get to move on, you’ll come across ANOTHER enemy you’ve never encountered.

The cycle continues with you attempting to pass challenge after challenge, constantly starting over, having to go through the same levels over and over, each time iterating your process so you can reach a save point and relax.

Being an OnlyFans agency owner is very similar.

Nobody tells you this when you start out.

You just think to yourself, “I’m gonna convince some girls to send me naughty videos and sell them to losers.”

And while that is the core of the business, being able to actually execute that strategy smoothly is another story entirely.

In this article, I am going to tell you the story of my best model to-date — my fabled superstar — and the 6 mistakes I made managing her that eventually caused her to leave my agency for good,

I’ve mentioned it before, but most of the models I’ve recruited over the past few months have come from an adult jobs website.

This fucking adult jobs website is like an abusive relationship that I can’t seem to pull myself away from.

Most of the girls are half a step away from spending the rest of their lives smoking crack in a Burger King bathroom.

But occasionally you find a gem.

And it’s that randomness that keeps me coming back.

After sending out a few hundred messages, I got an excellent reply from the model who I would affectionately refer to as “my superstar.”

When doing outreach, this is exactly the type of response I’m looking for:

1. Lots of text (indicates investment)
2. Clearly money-motivated
3. Good grammar and spelling
4. Desperate to work with an agency
5. High levels of excitement

I had a good feeling about her from the beginning, especially compared to the responses from the tweekers, baby mommas, and uneducated urban filth that normally filled my inbox.

When we set up our Zoom call, it was more of that same superstar goodness.

The first thing I noticed was that she showed up on time to the call. That in and of itself was an anomaly.

And as you can tell from the pictures, she was quite attractive.

Sure, she was almost 40 years old.

But she had bleached blonde hair and a pair of double D plastic tits hooked onto a 100 lb body.

A very marketable brand.

Mistake #1 — Not Addressing Her Geoblocking Concerns Adequately

During our call, she mentioned that she wanted California blocked since that’s where she was from.

I would realize later this was a massive red flag.

But at the time, I was desperate for new models and thrilled that someone with half a brain had actually reached out.

By the end of our call she had agreed to give it a shot — and within 24 hours she had verified her OnlyFans, signed a 12 month contract, and sent her first batch of videos and pictures.

It seemed too good to be true.

To make things even better, her content was the best we had ever gotten from a model.

Tangent #1 — How We Promote Our Models On Reddit

Our promotional strategy is a little bit different than most.

I’ll make another post about it somewhere down the line, but here the short version: 90% of our traffic comes from Reddit, and 90% of our promotional material is hardcore content.

And our superstar’s content was incredible.

What makes some content incredible and other content garbage, you ask?

The simple explanation is this:

Good content converts well, bad content doesn’t.

But if you really want to know the secret sauce, then just use your brain for a second.

Guys who surf Reddit for porn are looking to jerk off.

And since I know all my readers are boy scouts and church girls and have never touched themselves “down there,” let me explain a little bit about what makes the best porn.

Well to be fair, the BEST porn is the weird shit.

But assuming your model isn’t puking on herself while masturbating, then the second best type of porn is easy to describe.

It’s simple: the best porn is the 2–3 minutes leading up to and including the orgasm itself.

When we post promotional content, we are essentially trying to capture that intensity and post it in high traffic areas as a teaser.

Sure, you need other stuff like good lighting and a quality camera.

But there is plenty of porn that performs incredibly well that you would swear was shot with a Nokia brickphone.

Guys who are jerking it want to see the look of authentic ecstasy on a woman’s face as she masturbates.

It’s literally that simple.

Our superstar’s content captured this perfectly .

Her high quality content combined with her “natural” good looks and strong work ethic is what enabled us to get her such good results so quickly.

To be fair, my partner who handles Reddit is a fucking genius.

But let’s be honest: a robot could do his job.

That said, he was also doing the chatting on her account which helped to bring in a big chunk of money as well. Especially since the first account we promoted for her was a free account.

After a week, our superstar was sitting at 1000 free fans and around 5000 followers on Reddit. Her account had grossed around $1700.

She was doing SO well that we opened a VIP account for her as well, pushing traffic from her free account over to the paid one.

In just a few days, her second account had grossed nearly $3000. Her Reddit account was now sitting at around 15,000 followers.

Every few days when we needed more content from her, I would start off by sending her a screenshot of an update of her account. Either new followers or recent income spikes to help motivate her.

I found that this helps to get models to do things for us when we ask.

Instead of just asking for more content, I would say something like, “Hey, your account is now at 1500 followers (we gained almost 300 in the last day!). Do you think you can send us another 20 videos?”

That way you’re at least showing them some sort of progress so they don’t feel like they’re wasting their time.

Back to the story…

Mistake #2 — Not Agreeing To Specific Amounts Of Weekly Content With Set Deadlines

Later on I would realize that this unorganized way of asking for more content was a recipe for disaster.

But much like the video game analogy I made in the beginning of the article, this was how we operated with the knowledge we had at the time.

Everything was going great and I was sure this girl would put at least $100k in my bank account in the next year.

But then everything started to go to shit.

One day, I got a text from her in the middle of the day telling me that someone had recognized her on Reddit.

During our initial call, we agreed to block California from OnlyFans and PornHub.

Social media sites like Reddit, however, don’t offer geoblocking.

If I hadn’t let greed get the best of me, I would have made this clear from the beginning so we could have come up with an adequate solution.

I believe this violation of trust was the beginning of the end.

But I kept quiet about it, thinking that the odds of her being identified by someone she knew on Reddit to be virtually nonexistent.

And if she was spotted, I figured that it would only have happened after she was clearing $10–20k a month to her own pocket and that it wouldn’t be a problem.

I would later pay for my mistake.

That said, it didn’t seem like she was so upset that she had been identified.

Granted, the guy who ID’d her was an ex-lover of hers who she had known since they were kids. And he even offered to let her come shoot content at one of his properties in Beverly Hills.

I was sure she would quit after that, but she seemed to want to keep going.

I thought maybe she could wear a mask or something, but she came up with the idea that she could wear a wig and some colored contacts.

All said and done, she still seemed excited about working with us. I considered the disaster to be averted.

But just when I let my guard down, our relationship started to go to shit.

She took a week off to go on some camping trip that she had previously committed to. When she came back, things just seemed different.

I’m not sure exactly what it was, but she was harder to get ahold of. Less responsive.

It took her longer than usual to send content. But even though she did eventually send some (and it was really good), she was unresponsive again after that.

Specifically, the issue was that we were unable to get custom content on short notice.

One of her fans paid $100 for a dickrate video. I asked her for it and was given the runaround.

Another fan paid $75 for a custom video of her masturbating to orgasm to a picture of his dick. Again, I was given the runaround.

Various things like that happened and it just seemed like she wasn’t as engaged as before.

Her account was still doing well and we had a decent backlog of content to promote her with, so I wrote it off as her just getting readjusted to city life after her camping trip.

Because of the recent surge in income and massive traffic (thanks to my Reddit Genius promoting her to half a million people in 24 hours), OF pinged her with an additional verification request.

I asked her for it on Wednesday night and got an “I’ll do it later” response.

Thursday went by with no communication from her. On Friday, I sent her additional texts describing what I needed. Still no response.

Saturday morning I texted her again asking for a response, but still got nothing.

I sent her the following message:

Finally, I got a response.

I tried to play it cool, but inside I was pissed.

How could she be so ungrateful? How could she be so emotional? Didn’t she want to make money? Wasn’t she impressed with how well we had done on her account in such a short period of time?

Was she really willing to throw it all away because I called her out on being unresponsive for a few days?

Mistake #3 — Arguing With A Model Over Text

I tried to control my temper — and I like to think I did a pretty good job — but I committed the fatal error of arguing with a woman over text message instead of pushing for a phone call.

Never, ever, ever argue with anyone over text. You won’t win and it’ll just make things worse. Always push for a call — preferably a video call.

What especially stung about this is that my Reddit Genius partner had struck a deal with another Reddit Genius that he knows to send us massive amounts of upvotes for every single one of our superstar’s posts for 24 hours.

Up until then, we had been spending our own money to boost, choosing our posts and subreddits wisely.

But if we were able to open the floodgates and boost 100 posts a day to the top of their respective subreddits, that would be worth big money.

When the dust settled, she was ready to quit – one-year contract and million-dollar brand be damned.

There was only one problem — we still needed her to re-verify her OnlyFans.

Mistake #4 — Not Setting Up A Payment Method Before Launching

Actually, two problems — we also needed her to verify her Wise account so we could execute a payout.

So I was put in the awkward position of needing to reach out and ask her to do those things so we could split our profits.

Strangely enough, she responded quickly and cordially.

I started to think that maybe she didn’t want to quit. Still, she dragged her feet on the reverification and several days later, it still wasn’t done.

I pinged her again to ask for what we needed and received a rather nice response, considering the circumstances.

Once we had this exchange, I knew we had her back.

Mistake #5 — Allowing The Model To Have Access To The OnlyFans Account

Shortly thereafter, I received this message:

The NEW problem we had now was that she wanted to be more involved.

That, plus the fact that she had access to the account and was snooping around, was a huge problem.

From now on, I will never let a model have logins to the account. Once women start to get involved, they’ll only fuck it up.

To be fair, it’s uncommon for any of them to actually care enough to snoop around that much. But when it happens, it’s catastrophic. So no more.

And regardless of her personal circumstances, I still wanted to have our conversation so we could clear the air and reset expectations.

If she was under the impression that she would be allowed to work as a chatter, or that she had any say in how chats were handled, she was sorely mistaken.

As an agency owner, I need her for literally 1 thing — the only thing that I cannot do — and that is to create content.

And if we didn’t need her to create content, if we could somehow use deepfakes to create the content, then we wouldn’t need her at all.

But it is what it is.

With the lines of communication reopened, I finally got her to verify her Wise account.

However, we still didn’t have a clear understanding of expectations moving forward.

And every day that went by with her in limbo was a day that I could have devoted to promoting models with their heads screwed on properly.

Mistake #6 — Texting While Angry

Last night, we had the following exchange:

This is where I fucked up.

I just skimmed her text and thought she wrote, “If we DON’T keep working together…”

There was no “don’t” in there — it was all in my imagination.

In my mind, I thought that the REAL reason she wanted to chat with her fans before having our conversation was because she wanted to try her hand at milking them.

If she did a good job, then in her mind she wouldn’t need us anymore.

Crazy of me to think that, I know. But I guess I’m just a crazy guy.

I mean technically, I was still right. Her account was effectively suspended until we cleared the air and received a renewed commitment from her — something she seemed to be avoiding.

Was I too harsh considering the medical diagnosis of her son? Maybe.

She’s still a woman after all. And a mother.

But I am not hiring women and mothers. I am hiring models.

Maybe I’m a cold hearted bastard for expecting her to rise to the occasion. Maybe I could have kept her if I hadn’t rushed her and give her a little more time.

But I made my call and I am sticking to it.

I still haven’t wrapped things up with her, but I don’t see this relationship being salvaged at this point.

In Hebrew we say, “a broken plate can’t be put back together.”

Is it still salvageable? Maybe.

I may throw a hail mary and attempt to apologize, but honestly I think the damage has been done.

We’ll see.
