The Arbitrage Effect: How I Accidentally 10X’d My OFM Revenue In Under 30 Days

If you told me a month ago that my agency would be grossing $150k/month in the next 30 days, I’d have laughed you out the door.

I was overwhelmed, had just fired all my chatters, and felt like I was bailing water in a sinking ship with no hope of survival.

But now, less than 30 days later, I’m sitting atop a rapidly growing agency pulling in more money than I deserve with less effort than it took to run an agency 10% the size.

And if that wasn’t enough, I’ve also expanded my empire with extra services – including a viral content research tool and model marketplace (something I’ve wanted to do for a while).

Not only was all of this unexpected, but most of it happened purely by chance.

Or at least that’s what I thought at first.

A few weeks in, I would realize that I had been unconsciously leveraging the power of something called “value arbitrage” – a method of triangulating deals between willing parties without providing anything of value myself beyond coordinating the deal itself.

This accidental discovery – the same one I’ll be describing in this article – has lead to a massive jump in revenue and leveling up of my own brand and related services.

And let me tell you, it’s about damn time – I’ve been at this for a while.

Yet despite the relative increase in my “success,” my actual LIFESTYLE is still pretty much the same.

Like most of you, when I got into the OFM business, I believed my life would change in unimaginably wonderful ways.

I was living in the frozen urban wasteland of Minneapolis, spending most of the day on my computer, with slight breaks to hit the gym and go to the grocery store.

After 12 months of trials and tribulations, I had scrapped together enough success to move to Miami.

I saw this as a major step up for me, my OFM career, and my overall lifestyle.

No more 10 foot high snowbanks, close-minded ghetto people, or small town mentality to hold me back.

I imagined myself surrounded beautiful women, rich guys driving fast cars, and the rest of the superficial trappings of a city like Miami.

But 6 months later, I still find that my lifestyle is depressingly similar to what it was back in Minneapolis.

I STILL spend most of the day on the computer, STILL take a slight break to hit the gym, and STILL clear my mind at the end of the day with a trip to my local Trader Joe’s.

Sure, I’ve made improvements across the board in my agency, social properties, and side hustles.

And despite some minor setbacks, things seem to be going pretty well.

But at the end of the day, my day-to-day isn’t really that different.

I find myself wondering on an almost daily basis, “Is this what I worked so hard for?”

What kills me is that I know the ceiling is much higher.

If I was sipping champagne on yachts, charming the pants off stunners, and rubbing shoulders with the upper echelons of society while having my “is this all there is” mid-life crisis, that would be one thing.

But that’s not what’s happening.

All I’ve done is swap my copper cage for a golden one.

Not exactly what I had in mind.

But with my recent discovery of value arbitrage (and the J-curve improvements it can bring), all this is about to change.

This article is going to be a little different than my run of the mill, “Here’s how to do X in OFM.”

In this article, I’m going to lay out my plan to take over the world.

And if you are interested in doing this with me (we’ll talk about partnerships in the next section), then keep that in mind dear reader, because your patience and ability to read at an 8th grade level will be rewarded with a very tempting opportunity.

So without further ado, let’s unpack my latest obsession: arbitrage.

***

Take the partnership pill

About two months ago, I received a message from an OFM person who offered me a partnership in a proprietary software tool to help with marketing OF creators.

They had created a software tool – at the time called OnlyTrends – which aggregated the top trending content for OnlyFans creators across Instagram and TikTok.

I had been using this platform on the down low to do my babe page research, finding it to be a massively underrated resource for learning the anatomy of a viral video.

The creator of the platform – someone I’d known in the OFM community for over a year – reached out to me with the following offer:

1. Form a partnership for OnlyTrends
2. Rebrand it under my name
3. They would handle the tech stuff
4. I would handle the promotion and sales of the tool

Number 2 – rebranding the tool under my name – was especially interesting to me.

The idea that I could have an additional thing to sell with my name on it – one that I didn’t have to develop on my own – was very attractive.

After a few calls with him and his partner, we struck a deal and renamed the platform to TrendHunter.io.

A week into our partnership, I remember marveling at how incredibly easy it had been *poof* into existence a brand new offering with virtually zero effort on my part.

Each of us provided resources that we had in abundance – my audience and their already-created platform – to create something new and profitable.

The kicker is that neither of us felt particularly put out to do anything that we weren’t comfortable with.

If I had asked them to start making YouTube videos, or if they had asked me to develop a SAAS platform from scratch, this deal wouldn’t have worked.

But because we each provided something which we had in spades, we were able to solve each others’ problem with very little effort.

We each brought a “cheap” resource to the table.

Something that, to us, was not particularly valuable because we had become accustomed to its existence, but to the other was a rare and usefull commodity.

The fact that we were able to put this together in just a few weeks was nothing short of remarkable.

This concept – loosely defined as arbitrage – is one that I’ve since tried to incorporate into every area of my life.

Launching TrendHunter gave me an idea: what if I did this again?

After all, everyone has SOMETHING they can offer, something they have in such abundance that they’ve become numb to its value.

My YouTube channel, email list, blog, and Telegram group don’t get my heartbeat up any more than my ratty 12 year old Fallout t-shirt from Walmart does.

These things are just part of my every day existence.

“What if” turned to “how do I” and I recorded one of the most valuable videos in my 18 month OFM career

America’s Next Top SimpHunter

Since starting in OFM, I’ve learned quite a lot about myself, but here are the top 5 lessons:

1. I am not a technical genius
2. I have no patience for gaming social media platforms
3. I much prefer creating content for the OFM audience
4. I’d rather have other people do all the boring work
5. I’m actually pretty good at networking

These are things that I learned pretty early on, but if I’m being perfectly honest, I was actually ashamed of them.

I don’t know if it’s just my perception, but OFM seems like the ultimate one-man-show.

Recruiting models, getting traffic, hiring/training/managing chatters – you MUST do it all yourself.

Sure, there are some free and paid resources out there that you can leverage (and the groups, of course).

But at the end of the day, it’s YOUR responsibility to duct tape together a working OnlyFans agency.

And if you CAN’T do it then that means you’re stupid, worthless as a human being, and should probably just quit the game altogether.

Maybe that’s a bit harsh.

But the point is that even to ME, it always felt like cheating to find success with OFM in any way other than defining the processes on my own and outsourcing them to low-wage virtual assistants.

Logically, I know this is stupid.

Did my bank account go up?

Did my crypto wallets have more coins in them than before?

Yes?

Then what do I care?

This is something I struggled with for the entirety of my OFM career – that is, until I struck a deal with the TrendHunter guys.

The fast progress and easy money was what tipped me over the edge.

Not only had I created another income stream overnight, but it required virtually no additional effort to produce or maintain on my part.

All I had to do was just keep doing the things that I enjoyed doing – mainly creating content about OFM, building relationships, and managing communities – and it would continue to grow.

This opened my mind to the possibilities that there were OTHER opportunities out there with similar OFM bros just waiting to be tapped.

The video I posted, “Open Call For Business Partners,” was broken up in to 3 sections:

1. What I bring to the table
2. Who I’m looking to do business with
3. What I’m interested in working on

Since the video was sadly taken down once my YouTube channel was terminated over some nonsense (RIP), let me summarize it for you here:

1. What I bring to the table

1. Good reputation and trustworthy in OFM
2. Email list (1800 ppl)
3. Telegram group (3800 ppl)
4. Blog (3k uniques/month)
5. YT channel (1700 subs – now terminated*)

*Working on getting it unbanned, but worst case will just restart it. More on this in part 2.

2. Who I’m looking to do business with

1. Service providers (freelancers)
2. OFM experts (any skill)
3. Existing companies that already sell something
4. Existing software tools

3. What I’m interested in working on

1. Partner for my OF agency
2. Model marketplace
3. Bootcamps
4. More software rebrands
5. Chatting agency

Once I made this video, I got a ton of very interesting DMs.

But these DMs wouldn’t have tightened my pants even a little if I hadn’t just watched my agency crash and burn for what felt like the 50th time in the past 18 months.

From $25k – $0k overnight

If you followed my most recent YouTube videos, then you remember that for the past few months, I’ve had a MAJOR problem with chatters.

For about six months prior, I had been working with an excellent chatting agency that seemed to have the Midas Touch when it came to making money.

I could send them creators with 23 subs and they’d somehow generate $3k/month on their accounts.

Any account with regular sub growth was bringing in $10-$15k/month without much difficulty.

Things were humming along quite nicely.

Then one day, I got a message from one of my top creators telling me that she had gotten 20 notifications from OF about violating their rules.

This girl was bringing in around $15k/month, so I logged into her account to take a look, holding my breath that her account hadn’t been banned over some nonsense.

Long story short, the chatters had been running a “spin the wheel” gambit with fans which hinted at winning “a chance to m33t and f4ck m3” if they won.

OnlyFans caught this in one of their manual reviews, removing all the chats and bombarding the creator’s account with notifications about how it was a big no no.

I nervously refreshed the page for the next hour, praying to whoever was listening that the account wouldn’t get banned.

Fortunately, it wasn’t.

But it was enough for me to fire the chatting agency immediately.

It goes without saying that whoever is managing chatters should check the chats on a daily basis.

The fact that they WEREN’T checking the chats at all and allowed it to go on for months showed me that they were either negligent or incompetent, neither of which was suitable.

Numbers dropped while I unsuccessfully tried to find a new chatting agency, but eventually these same guys hit me up with big apologies and promises about how things would be different.

Desperate for a quick solution, I reluctantly gave them another chance.

And for a while, things seemed to improve.

But then one day, the chatting manager sent me a message saying that chats had been disabled on the same creator’s account.

I logged in, checked the chats, and the first thing I saw was a chatter trying to sell a dick pic to a fan for $10.

A few thoughts flashed through my mind in quick succession:

1. Why are they trying to sell random dick pics on a GIRL’S account
2. Why are they selling it for only $10
3. How long has this been going on
4. How much is a flight to the Phillipines so I can kill this guy’s dog as punishment
5. Would I be able to escape the country before Duterte sent his goons after me for killing a dog
6. Don’t they eat dog over there anyway?

After ripping the manager a new arshole, I fired him on the spot – again.

There have been few moments in my OFM career where I thought about quitting entirely.

THIS was one of them.

The sheer incompetence and unprofessionalism of some people in this space puts white hairs on my head faster than anything else.

But this left me in quite the predicament: I had no chatters, no chatting agency, and nobody to sit on these accounts and sell content to fans.

After trying (and failing) to hire chatters, chatting managers, or chatting agencies to fill the gap, I started to give up hope.

1. The chatters I hired all flaked
2. The chatting managers I hired all flaked
3. Every chatting agency I hired turned out to be hot garbage

After a few frustrating weeks, I started to give up hope.

This was right around the time where I published my “Open Call For Business Partners” video.

In it, I casually mentioned that MAYBE I would be interested in bringing a partner into my agency.

I had no idea how that would look.

But fortunately, someone smarter than me helped broker a deal in a way that solved my chatter problem in an instant.

With – you guessed it – some good old arbitrage.

From $0k – $150k overnight

After publishing the video, I was contacted by an old friend who pitched me on partnering together in my agency.

There was just one complication.

This person was already working with ANOTHER friend of mine on THEIR agency.

After being informed they were parting ways, this person told me they would be interested in giving it the old college try with yours truly.

I did a quick check with our mutual friend just to make sure they didn’t object (they didn’t) and it was off to the races.

This person – let’s call him Jimmy – crushed it right out of the gate.

We set up a new funnel for one of my models, I gave him access to her content, and she started bringing in 20 paid subs a day immediately.

Okay, not bad.

If they could pull this off for all my models, then all we’d have to do is solve the chatter problem and we’d be good.

I told him about my chatter dilemma, to which he replied, “Don’t worry, I have chatters.”

20 paid subs a day right off the bat was very impressive, so I took what he said at face value and we continued working together.

Over the next few days, the sub growth continued. It really seemed like we were onto something.

Meanwhile, Jimmy’s partnership with our mutual friend – let’s call him “Steve” – was in the process of ending.

Dissolution of partnerships is never 100% amicable, regardless of if they’re personal or business, but this one seemed to at least be free of foul play, so I didn’t ask any questions.

I won’t get into the details, but from what I gathered 80% of the problem seemed to be a difference in strategic vision while the other 20% was lack of clarity surrounding roles.

Again, I had no interest in WHY it didn’t work with them – mainly because it had nothing to do with me – so I just focused on moving forward with what Jimmy and I were doing.

We continued our progress for a week or so, until one day Jimmy sent me a message telling me that he had an idea.

“I’ve been thinking about this for a few days, but what if you, me, and Steve all partnered together in an agency? I think we have a lot of complementary abilities.”

Still high from the partnership pills I had popped earlier, a working agreement between the three of us sounded like a great idea.

Unlike Jimmy and I, Steve had bought his way into the OFM game, purchasing an already-running agency from a friend of his roughly 6 months prior.

He was my age, only instead of spending his life traveling the world and selling hair straighteners, Steve had focused on building million-dollar businesses.

What was especially appealing to me about this potential deal was that Steve had a full-fledged chatting manager, a thorough chatter-training program, and a robust team of chatters.

Not to mention the fact that the agency he’d purchased was already well-established, having been run for nearly 5 years and with quite a good reputation behind it.

According to Steve, he was getting a consistent 5-15 applications from aspiring and current creators through the agency website – many of whom were making $10-20k/month already.

Just before I joined, the gross revenue was just short of $100k/month.

Less than a month later, it’s already jumped to $150k/month.

But I’m getting ahead of myself.

What appealed to all three of us about this potential merger was that we all brought something unique to the table.

Jimmy would bring the marketing expertise.

Steve had the internal businesses processes.

And I had… something?

Experience? Connections? A… blog?

Honestly, compared to these two guys, I felt like I probably brought the least to the table.

I did have one ace up my sleeve (which I’ll go over in the next section), but my audience of OFM agency people would not be especially useful to running an actual agency.

Or would it?

Despite my rapidly increasing addiction to partnership pills, I still hadn’t fully realized how well-positioned I had become over the past 18 months.

It wouldn’t be until several weeks later that it would become apparent how my bias towards avoiding the “hard stuff” in favor of doing work I enjoyed was actually the right move.

In the meantime, Jimmy, Steve, and I struck a deal to work towards a single goal: building an insanely profitable agency.

Eating Out Of The Garbage

I’m not ashamed to admit it: I am a huge fan of the “dating advice” industry.

Cold approach pickup, social dynamics, evolutionary psychology – I love it all.

Many years ago, I remember reading an article about how to get back together with your ex.

This is a popular topic in the dating advice industry.

As men, when we are unexpectedly dumped by a woman we’re in love with, it feels like a punch to the gut.

We’re unprepared, sad, depressed, and it affects everything from our posture to our hygeine to the way we treat our friends and family.

The author of this article, however, had a different take.

He alikened getting back with your ex to eating out of the garbage.

“Everyone will see you do it, it’s not a good look, and ultimately it’s just not worth it – even if you find what you’re looking for.”

I mentioned earlier that prior to my agreement with Jimmy, he and Steve had already tried their own version of a partnership without me.

That didn’t work out, but for some reason the expectation was that with my addition to the group, things would somehow change.

Plot twist: they didn’t.

We had a week where things went smoothly, until one day when I got a text from Jimmy:

“I’m out of the deal. Good luck.”

Apparently, old wounds had resurfaced, the two of them had gotten into it, ultimately causing Jimmy to pull out of the deal.

There was a chat history in our group of around 100 messages leading up to the explosion, but to this day I still haven’t read it.

I had no problem with either of them, neither had asked me to mediate, and honestly I didn’t even see it as any of my business.

The net effect was that I was now a partner in an agency that was more successful, more well-run, and better developed than anything I’d managed to create over the past 18 months.

Not only that, but because of Jimmy’s exit, I was left with a bigger slice of the overall pie.

In this case, it was an act of accidental arbitrage that put me in this arguably very enviable position.

Pretty embarrassing if you think about it.

Still, Steve still seemed keen to continue working with me, so I kept my head down and plowed ahead.

I’m sure part of that was because of the ace up my sleeve that I alluded to in the last section: an agreement with an OnlyFans competitor for free internal traffic to any creators that we added to the platform.

After reaching out to the CEO of this platform, he and I struck a deal where any creators I onboarded (who had active chatters) would receive immediate exposure to the platform’s existing userbase.

Furthermore, any creators who signed exclusivity agreements with this platform (meaning no OnlyFans, Fansly, etc) would receive free external traffic from the CEO’s advertising partners.

Fortunately, Steve saw the value in this arrangement, which I believe is why he didn’t give me the boot once Jimmy jumped ship.

Steve understood that the massive amount of new creator applications he’d been getting on a daily basis + the free and unlimited traffic promised from this new platform meant that ALL WE HAD TO DO was nail the chatting part of the equation and we’d have an additional revenue stream that would very likely double the revenue we were generating from OnlyFans.

We’d be able to take any creator off the street, throw her on the platform, and easily scale her to $5-10k/month with no social media, no dating apps, no traffic generation from our part or the creators.

All we would need was some basic content to sell and half-competent chatters.

But as the saying goes, “If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans.”

A Brief History Of Model Marketplaces

While all this drama with Steve and Jimmy was unfolding, I was busy working out a deal with another young hustler who answered the call for potential business partners.

In the open call video, I heavily emphasized my desire to start a model marketplace.

Being the owner of a model market has been something I’ve had on my to do list for a long time.

I’ve said it a million times at this point, but I view BTZ’s breakout success in the OFM underworld to be in large part due to the professional execution (and timing) of his model marketplace.

A year and a half ago, there were ZERO model marketplaces.

To my knowledge, the first one was started by Sean Suarez, and while he proved the concept, it was haphazardly run and done so by someone with very little business experience.

Sean is a G and one of the first friends I made in the game, so no disrespect to him.

But when BTZ’s market came along, he took the concept and ran with it – quickly dominating this subset of the industry and setting the standard for how markets would be run for years to come.

BTZ already knew how to run Facebook and IG ads – he just laterally applied those skills to recruiting OF creators as a way to provide a risk-free source of models.

Say what you want about BTZ, but the guy has a eye for opportunities.

Something else I’ve said a million times is that I knew BTZ before his name was as ubiquitous in the OFM underworld as it is today.

Having responded to one of my posts on my BlackHatWorld journey thread, I reached out to him via private message to pick his brain.

Once I started my Telegram group (before I had heard of OBH or Nath Ashton), he was one of the original 20 that I invited to join.

I say this because I want you to understand that I have watched him develop his brand, group, offerings, and culture into what it is today.

I knew him before he had any of these things.

Yes, he’s a very talented guy (you don’t achieve what he’s achieved by accident), but a MAJOR driving force in his growth and success has been his model marketplace.

Markets are unique for the following reasons:

1. They have a universal appeal to ALL agency owners
2. People will join them just to window shop, even if they never buy anything
3. They offer an additional channel through which to communicate to agency owners about related offerings
4. They can easily be linked to a Telegram group (branding, actual links, etc)
5. The contracts can be traded as “currency” to other agency owners in exchange for non-monetary compensation (more on this later)

Again, not to take anything away from his work ethic or skill – but by producing a marketplace that sells a product of UNIVERSAL appeal to all agency owners (especially when there was virtually no competition), he gave himself an incredible reach advantage during a time that  nothing else like that existed.

In case you still don’t get it, allow me illuminate you:

1. His market could be used to advertise his group
2. His market could be used to sell his coaching products (premium group, etc)
3. His market could be used to promote his TG bots
4. His market could be used to promote his verified high-earners group (OFM Warlords)
5. His market could be used to tell people his balls itch

What’s powerful about this is that he has an extremely targeted audience that he can reach in seconds, leading to instant awareness and/or revenue generation.

And if you’ve been paying attention, reach and influence are the primary value that I have been trying to provide to my own partners.

The difference between BTZ and myself is that I am more of a thought leader in the space, whereas he is more of a one-stop shop for goods and services.

Both paths have their own rewards, but the commonality between them is that they both rely on generating a sticky and targeted audience whose avatar can be summed up in a few words:

OFM agency owners.

In the beginning of this article, I said that what I bring to the table with any potential partners is access to MY audience.

That + the trust and reliability which I have engendered in the community through my contributions in form of this blog, my YouTube channel (RIP), and community management (the Federation + conflict mediation + spiritual guidance).

In other words, a model marketplace would give me another point of contact to an eventual thousands of agency owners that I could leverage into whatever my little heart desired.

• Got a new bootcamp I’m promoting and want to get the words out?
• Interviewing a person of interest and want to get some live viewers?
• Published a new video to my channel and want to get some extra views?
• Partnering with a genius to help sell a new SAAS product to the OFM community?
• Feel like funneling people to my free Telegram group because I’m bored and lonely?

A model marketplace – though superficially intended for the sale of OnlyFans creator contact information – can be used to advance all of these goals and more.

Furthermore, these same model contracts can be used as a form of currency to barter with existing agency owners.

While BTZ and I have never talked about this explicitly, I would be willing to bet that he generously used high quality leads as leverage to gain accesss to trade secrets held by highly-successful agencies.

When you can offer the “perfect” creator to an agency, you have leverage to request traffic strategies, SOPs, affiliate deals, and anything else of value they may have.

It all comes back to the concept that I mentioned in the beginning of this article: arbitrage.

You and your partner both provide items of complementary value that each has in respective abundance.

Humor me and let’s be pedantic for a second.

If this arrangement were a one-off value-exchange, we’d call it a “trade.”

If it was an ongoing series of value-exchanges, we’d call it a “partnership.”

Both trades and partnerships can be executed by each party providing something of value for mutual gain.

But let’s take this concept one step further.

What if instead of ME having to provide the value, I brought two separate parties together – each with their own value adds – while bringing nothing of my own EXCEPT the fact that I had triangulated the deal?

Much like how Jimmy connected both Steven and I, if I was able to connect two parties for mutual benefit, I could reap the reward of that union with a bit of prior framing.

To be fair, in Jimmy’s case he did bring his own value in the form of marketing expertise, but arguably gained greater negotiating power because he was the one who brought the deal together.

The fact that Jimmy’s involvement in our deal met a premature end – while tragic – is inconsequential to the fact that he unintentionally used arbitrage to include himself in the partnership.

It’s this concept of arbitrage that I want you to focus on moving forward, since it will play a major part in my personal strategy for growth in all areas of my life – whether they be OFM-related or otherwise.

But we’ll come back to that later.

Bringing it back to the original point:

While BTZ built his market himself, with a little bit of forethought, I could get someone else to build one for me.

This could then be used to connect agency owners with my partner to do business – requiring infinitesimal involvement on my part aside from big picture thinking and creating content (which is stuff I love doing anyway).

In other words, I could use this concept of arbitrage to Thaons Snap anything I wanted into existence without doing any “work” to produce it on my own.

And a few short weeks ago, that’s exactly what I did.

“I could simply snap my fingers…”

After posting my Open Call video, I got a message from a young British lad (pictured in the above screenshot) pitching me on teaming up to create a model marketplace.

The pitch I got from him was simple.

Over the past six months, he’d been selling models in 3rd party markets.

After cutting his teeth in the open markets for nearly half a year, dealing with low quality customers, scammers, and middlemen (who don’t always have the seller’s best interest at heart), he understood that his negotiating leverage would be MUCH higher if he was in charge of his own market.

Before talking to him, I honestly had no idea that sellers like this even existed.

Sure, I knew that there were some independent sellers who listed models through existing marketplaces, but it never occured to me that they’d list them independently on 3rd party markets.

I always just assumed these 3rd party markets were just aggregators for all the major markets.

In the past when shopping for models, I NEVER checked the 3rd party markets – preferring instead to check the Federation-verified ones (plus a few others).

After talking with Rce, I learned that selling strictly through these 3rd party markets put sellers at a massive disadvantage.

Since deals are done independently between sellers and middlemen, scammers are more common.

There are also a higher number of low-quality buyers who are interested only in hiring models for eWhoring (who oftentimes are also scammers).

And finally, 3rd party sellers have very little leverage in a negotiation with a middleman.

While these challenge would have deterred many sellers from continuing, Rce was resourceful enough to find his own way to make it work.

Like BTZ, he was an ace with FB ads.

But his primary competitive advantage that he developed in the proving ground of being a 3rd party seller was that his lead filtering system was forced to evolve into something much more robust than one forged under the comparably frictionless transacting done on a self-controlled market.

His filters for sourcing creator contracts was SO strong that he’d managed to get his refund rate down to 30% – unheard of in the space.

I won’t name any names, but there are markets that I’ve purchased from where 8/10 models end up flaking and ending in a refund.

Before Rce and I inked the deal, we had a few calls just to work out the details.

The agreement we came to was this:

1. He’d recruit and filter the leads
2. He’d handle sales
3. I’d handle growth
4. We’d split the profits 50/50

All those delicious benefits of a model marketplace would soon be mine.

And all I had to do was talk about it in articles and videos.

The additional audience of active agency owners, the ability to barter high quality creators in exchange for trade secrets, and the added legitimacy of providing yet ANOTHER valuable service to the OFM community – all aquired instantly thanks to one YouTube video and a few Zoom calls.

And that’s not even to say anything about the money earned from the market’s ostensibly intended purpose: selling creator contracts.

All mine – immediately – with less than a few hours of “work”.

Between TrendHunter, ModelHunter (the model marketplace), the competitor platform free traffic deal, and accidentally wandering into a 6-figure agency – all in under a month, something clicked in my brain.

I realized that not only was grinding 24/7 not REQUIRED, but it was in fact a WORSE use of my time.

Instead of doing the legwork myself, if instead I spent all my time creating content and connecting the dots between deals, I would progress 100x faster in any area I focused on.

This would again bring my attention back to the concept of “value arbitrage,” a term familiar to anyone who has studied lifestyle design, aka social circle game.

We’ll dive deeper into that in part 2 of this article, but for now let’s quickly jump back to the previous topic: my blessed new agency.

And specifically, the complete and utter clusterf*ck of a situation currently going on with our chatting team.

My Kingdom For Some [Good] Chatters!

As wonderful as partnerships are, they are not without their drawbacks.

Case in point, something that never occurred to me once I agreed to merge my agency with Steven’s is how I would ultimately lose the status of Final Decision Maker on most meaningful decisions.

When I was rolling solo, I never had to ask anyone’s permission to do anything.

If I wanted to do something, I did it, and if the people who worked with me didn’t like it then they could go kick rocks.

Now however, I had a team of people whose feelings I had to consider before saying anything, not to mention Steven who is effectively the senior partner in our agreement.

Practically speaking, my agency has been absorbed into his.

Regardless of how much value I arguably bring, the processes in place are all his, the staff and models are loyal to him, the payment accounts are his, and on paper the agency is his.

So I’m not exactly in a position to throw my weight around.

I am, however, a battle-hardened OFM veteran who has seen his share of combat and won’t be silenced by silly things like office politics.

In other words, bringing my experience and its accompanying biases into this new organization has has triggered a slew of involuntary reactions over the past several weeks.

One of which – arguably the most contentious – has been the management of the chatters and their work on the accounts.

While it’s true that the gross revenue of the accounts has continued to grow, much of that is due to the reputation of the agency – NOT because we have good chatters.

Established creators – many of whom have worked with other agencies or grown their accounts on their own – feel more comfortable signing with us than unknown agencies, regardless of any difference in skill.

Put another way, it’s been easy for us to sign creators who are earning $10-$20k/month.

Add 4 of those to our roster and our gross revenue jumps by $40k-$80k/month, independent of anything else we do on the backend.

Theoretically, we could generate minimal traffic, assign them a team of helmet-wearing CTE-afflicted head injury victim chatters, and still raise our bottom line.

And regarding the chatters, sadly seems to be exactly what’s happening.

Just to be thorough, let me restate my opinion of 95% of chatters: they are incompetent, lazy, unprofessional workers who do the absolute bare minimum to keep their jobs.

This is most clearly evidenced to me when reading their chats.

To illustrate this, let me ask you a hypothetical question.

When messaging a new fan, is it better to:

1. Send them a personalized message with their username in the message
2. Send them a non-personalized message without their username in the message

You don’t have to be an OFM genius to know that obviously the first one is the better choice.

But most chatters don’t do this – even when it’s stated no less than 5 times in all of our training material.

Even when we call them out in a group chat with screenshots of their non-personalized conversations, they still don’t correct their behavior.

Most chatters refuse to take this one simple action – the most basic foundation of quality chatting – simply because it requires extra effort and they don’t care.

They sit on their computers, send a painfully generic “hey babe” mass message, then throw up their hands in surrender when they’re ignored by fans.

They make excuses for their lack of sales and low response rate.

• “The fans don’t respond!”
• “They’re broke!”
• “They said they’ll buy it tomorrow!”

Give me a break.

Having worked with such uninspired chatters for so long, any time I see this low effort BS from them, I very undiplomatically inform them that they have made a mistake.

Sometimes I try NOT to be a complete arsehole, but only sometimes.

Mainly what I do is make them feel incompetent by saying things like:

• “Why did you only sell for $60 during your shift?”
• “You said you’ve been a chatter for 2 years? How come you’re not selling?”
• “Send me screenshots of 20 new conversations you started yesterady and your opening messages.”

I ask these questions in order to elicit some sort of response from them that forces them to either say:

1. Sorry, my IQ is only 83
2. I didn’t try because I am lazy
3. I ignored your training materials because I don’t care if I do a good job or not

OR – they could say the thing I would love to hear, which is:

“I’m sorry, I’ll do better next time.”

Or if they really want to make me cream my pants, they would say:

“I’m struggling and could use some extra help. Can you or someone else please help me become a better chatter?”

But those things almost never happen because the chatters that we’ve hired are all low-effort shit-for-brains pig-fuc –

Ahem, sorry.

What I mean is that it appears that the chatters working for us are satisfied doing the bare minimum required in order to collect their paycheck, regardless of how poor their performance is.

Actually scratch that, from my point of view they aren’t even doing the bare minimum – they’re doing far less than that.

But I digress…

Don’t get me wrong, I love my new agency, but the issue with the chatters has gotten so bad that I am afraid to check the chats because I know I am going to see things that will cause me to start throwing plates at my imaginary girlfriend.

I clearly have no business being involved with the operations part of chatting at all.

After some of my enthusiastic attempts to “encourage” our chatters to do better, our chatting manager tried to take me to task about how I needed to be nicer to the chatters and show them more respect.

I was told that they were afraid of me and were thinking about looking for other jobs because of how I was acting.

My response was that these lovely respect-deserving humans needed to be afraid of SOMEONE, because they CLEARLY weren’t afraid of her or Steve, as evidenced by their inexcusably bad sales during shifts and refusal to adhere to the training.

The fact that they felt it was acceptable to turn in $60 shifts day after day and STILL feel entitled to keep their job WITHOUT someone tearing them a new arsehole was probably a good sign that maybe they SHOULD be looking for a new job anyway.

Truthfully, the reason I’m most upset about this isn’t even really the money – it’s that I feel like I am letting my creators down.

When we have chatters on their accounts that aren’t doing their job properly and bringing in money, I can’t help but feel that I am doing my creators dirty.

If they were just some random girls I didn’t know, then I wouldn’t care.

But these are creators I’ve been working with for months.

Fortunately, this issue with the chatters seems to be on its way to being fixed.

It won’t be cheap – but as the saying goes: “When you buy cheap, you buy twice.”

How are we going to fix it, you ask?

All thanks to that new word I’ve been throwing around like I understand what it means: arbitrage.

Mr Enthusiasm To The Rescue

A few weeks ago, someone started posting “results” screenshots of their 1:30 – 1:60 chatting ratios in my Telegram group.

These screenshots were complete with your “tip of the day” generic advice.

1. “Build a connection with fans!”
2. “Find out what they want and give it to them!”
3. “Fulfill their fantasy!”

This is all stuff I’d seen and heard a million times before for a million different offers over the past 18 months – nothing more than a thinly-veiled advertisement.

Now, I am unique compared to other group owners in that when I see stuff like this on my turf, I will usually engage with the seller and ask for details on their service.

I do this mainly as a way to challenge them to either 1) admit they were advertising, 2) give them the chance to provide actual value (and not just “proof”), or 3) both.

In this case, I put the guy on the spot and asked him for more value.

Truth be told, he didn’t do a very good job, I believe because he didn’t want to give too much away for free.

However, I did leave a comment to the effect of, “If you can really do that, I may just hire you.”

Without missing a beat, he sent me a DM pushing for a call to which I basically gave an immediate “no.”

However, when he told me that his business partner was someone who enrolled in my babe page bootcamp, I figured I would give him a shot.

In the OFM business, relationships are everything.

Personally, when I have known someone for a long time, have never seen them act a fool, AND they’ve bought stuff from me (or vice versa), then I am much more likely to consider working with them.

On a whim, I agreed to the call.

What I gleaned from our conversation was this:

1. They run a chatting consultancy
2. They can hire and train teams of chatters for us, as well as retrain our current chatters and chatting manager
3. They would provide all the training materials necessary for us to hire and train more chatters once our arrangement ends
4. They guarantee results

The call went much better than I’d expected, in large part due to the raw unbridled ETHUSIASM I sensed from the new guy when discussing the topic of chatting.

I’d spoken with other chatting “professionals” before – whether they be chatters, managers, or agencies – and I’d never gotten the feeling that they really loved what they did.

To be blunt, this fellow REALLY loves chatting.

Like, REALLY loves it.

He talks about chatting the way someone obsessed with Star Wars talks about Star Wars.

Dude seriously loves chatting.

And while I personally don’t share his passion, I can certainly appreciate the fact that he loves what he does.

Truth be told, if I am going to hire someone, I would love to know that they are unreasonably passionate about whatever it is I’ll be hiring them for.

Whether or not they’re more skilled, have more experience, or will get better results than the other options on the market takes a backseat to their level of passion towards the service itself.

If they LOVE what they do, I want to hire them.

This guy had the added benefit that it actually seemed like he understood chatting on such a micro level that it would blow our current strategy out of the water.

After our call, I told Steve that we needed to get on the phone with this guy ASAP to hear him out.

The plan was to give him access to one of the accounts and have another call that would act as an audit on the account.

A few days later, Steve, myself, our chatting manager, and our lead admin all hopped on the phone with Mr Enthusiasm and proceeded to have a very informative 1 hour call about why our chatting sucks and how to improve it.

Now, I don’t want to get ahead of myself, but my dude impressed all of us with his knowledge and expertise.

Historically, neither Steve nor myself have ever had a good experience working with anyone who claimed to be a chatting expert, agency, or consultant.

But I feel like we may have found our unicorn here.

By the end of the call, Mr Enthusiasm had won us all over and the only thing left was to negotiate the details and sign the paperwork.

The best part is that the current offer on the table is to retrain (or rehire, if necessary) our ENTIRE chatting team for OnlyFans AND produce a brand new chatting team for us for the 2nd platform.

If this works, it would put us at $500k/month – worst case.

Best case? It would put us at roughly 10x that – or $5m per month.

All in just a little over 60 days.

I can’t even wrap my mind around it.

And that’s where we are at the time of this writing.

While the implications for our agency are impressive, this is just ONE beneficial arrangement produced via arbitrage.

As I put this deal together, I continued to think, “What if I were able to do this in other areas of my life as well – OUTSIDE of OFM?”

Using arbitrage to go beyond OFM

Like I said, I don’t want to get ahead of myself, but if our plan to overhaul our chatting system with Mr Enthusiasm goes even HALF as well as what they’ve claimed, we are set to 4-5x our monthly revenue.

And again, I want to make this as clear as possible: I have practically no involvement in the execution of the strategy itself.

I don’t even fully understand it.

Even more amazing than the potential results would be this:

These insanely beneficial developments are not coming to fruition because of any of MY technical expertise, domain knoweldge, or a skill honed over thousands of hours.

• It’s not because I built the agency from scratch
• It’s not because I reverse-engineered the perfect chatting system
• It’s not because I am an amazing hiring manager
• It’s not because I have an eye for talent when it comes to chatters
• It’s not because I am good at managing chatters

All this is happening because I set up a call between 2 people after exchanging a few texts on Telegram.

Sure, there was some groundwork laid before I was able to do this, but it wasn’t absolutely necessary.

Anyone can send messages on Telegram

Anyone can get on a call.

Anyone can connect two people who each need something from the other.

All you need is to discover what Person A wants and locate Person B who can give it to him.

Fortunately in OFM, there aren’t THAT many different things that people want.

Everyone needs something related to either recruiting, traffic, or chatting.

If we extend the net wider to include service providers, group owners, and coaches trying to sell their programs, then all THEY want are more customers.

When we strip away all the connotations and definitions of the term “model marketplace,” what are we left with?

1. A recruiter who provides creator contracts (stats + contact info)
2. A Telegram group where they are listed
3. OFM agency owners (buyers)

Our human brains wrap this concept in the simple two word phrase of “model marketplace.”

If you – an enterprising young OFM professional – were to connect a recruiter to someone who needs models, then you could negotiate a split in the profits and create your own marketplace.

This is just ONE example of a potential deal that can be structured by YOU with absolutely zero expertise beyond basic computer skills.

In other words, YOU don’t need to be the one to provide the contracts, the TG group, or the buyers.

All you need to do is bring them together and you will automatically be included in the deal.

I’ve given you plenty of examples in this article – and those all happened in the past month.

The key takeaway is this: we are limited only by our own creativity.

Now, before you protest that I’m only getting these deals because I’m an unbearably charming, well-known, OFM visionary with a stellar reputation and rogueish good looks, let me stop you right there.

While your assessment of my character is spot on, ANYONE can go into a group and say, “Hey does anyone want to start a model marketplace with me? Send me a DM if so.”

ANYONE can start a YouTube channel, blog, and put their pride aside in order to foster growth in the community.

But what I’m saying is that you don’t even NEED TO DO THOSE THINGS.

There are 3 reasons these deals have begun to fall into my lap so frequently:

1. I look for them
2. I ask for them
3. I BELIEVE that they are capable of happening in the first place (most important)

There’s no reason any of you can’t do the same thing. 

I’ve known for a long time that I could leverage my TG group, YT channel (RIP), and blog to create deals like this.

This is all well and good when it comes to OFM.

Now, however, it’s time to set my sights beyond our little corner of Telegram and into the wider world beyond.

I am of course talking about the Arbitrage Group – what I originally intended to be the main topic of this article.

The Arbitrage Group is a network of OFM notables with 1 key difference: the specialized ability to facilitate REAL WORLD connections with high-status people for fun, profit, and the aquisition of power.

(Oooh.. did anyone else just get the chills?)

Similar to how I sleepwalked my way into the deals I described in this article, my goal for the Arbitrage Group is to develop a supernetwork of connectors who can apply these concepts to the offline world.

The OFM underworld is great, don’t get me wrong.

But as amazing as we are, OFM is a new industry populated mostly by very young, professionally inexperienced, and unconnected people.

Not to mention that its spread all over the world and capped at MAYBE 10,000 people TOPS – under 10% of whom are earning any respectable amount of money.

There are only so many fish in that ocean.

And even if you have some pull in the OFM underworld, once you put your phone away or close your laptop, any influence you have from it disappears almost instantly.

Nobody knows who you are, or cares about you, which makes things much more difficult when it comes to networking in the real world.

I am about to wrap this one up, so I don’t want to get into too many details.

But the goal of the Arbitrage Group is to give you the skills to:

1. Meet any celebrities and/or influencers that you want
2. Connect with high-status/powerful men to do business with them
3. Be sought-after by the most beautiful women on the planet
4. Faciliate a luxury lifestyle for yourself including supercars, private jets, and yachts – WITHOUT paying for it yourself
5. Give yourself the “Midas Touch” with any new business you start or become involved in

Doesn’t sound too terrible, does it?

“But Papi, you remarkably resplendant raconteur with riveting narrative skill,” I hear you say. 

“You told us at the start of this article that all your life consists of is working on your computer, going to the gym, and buying groceries at Trader Joe’s! How could you possibly teach us all of these things when you clearly haven’t mastered them?”

Well, my lovely imaginary friend, that’s a great question.

The answer is simple: I’ve arbitraged my way into enlisting the help of someone who can do all those things and more.

Part 2 will go over the details of the Arbitrage Group, how it came to be, and everything else involved in fast-tracking yourself into profitable deals in high-profile industries, a luxury lifestyle full of yachts and private jets, and the pants of the most beautiful women in the world.

WITHOUT grinding 70+ hours a week to pay for it out of your own pocket.

Arbitrage baby.

Stay tuned for part 2.

Bye for now.
