Ever wondered about the legitimacy of OnlyFans agencies? Are all OnlyFans agencies scams? Can working with an agency actually help you make more money on OnlyFans? Well, I’m about to spill the tea on the pros, cons, and everything in between!
Today, we’re diving into the mysterious world of OnlyFans agencies, from the shady anonymous managers to the details on agency percentages – buckle up!
The Rise of OnlyFans Agencies
Picture this: a digital catwalk filled with OnlyFans superstars and their entourage of agencies, helping them level up from good to unstoppable on OnlyFans.
These agencies paint themselves as the fairy godmothers (or, most often, the fairy godfathers) of the adult content kingdom, offering creators a helping hand with content creation, marketing, and all the jazz.
But, darling, before you race to join the agency party, let’s chat about what it could really mean for your OnlyFans business.
First, we’ll explore some of the potential pros of being managed by an OnlyFans agency.
Pros & Cons of OnlyFans Agencies
1. Get Your Money Up:
Here’s the real talk – the money. If you’re considering looking for an agency to level up your performance on OnlyFans, it’s probably because you want to make more money. With a legitimate agency managing your OnlyFans promotion, you will undoubtedly see more subscriptions and in turn, more revenue.
However, OnlyFans agencies virtually always take a cut of your overall earnings.
The fees an OnlyFans agency takes varies from agency to agency. Some agencies go for a flat fee, while others take a percentage of your overall earnings.
Remember, OnlyFans already takes out 20% of your earnings, and you should be putting aside at least 20% for your yearly taxes. (You can read all about how to pay less money on your OnlyFans earnings here)
This means that if an agency takes a 20% fee, you’re only going to keep about 40% of your total earnings.
While the potential fame might sound enticing, as a creator, you will need to balance the bling with the cha-ching. Before you jump into a contract with an agency, be aware of those agency percentages, and make sure that their fees will actually result in a greater overall income for you!
2. Relinquishing the Reins:
Picture this – you’re the captain of your content ship, and suddenly, an agency breeze blows in. While they bring their man power to improve your metrics, you might find yourself in disagreements about what content to post, how often, and what your work schedule should look like.
Agencies might outline in their contract that they expect you to create certain types of content, or they might set unrealistic expectations for how often they want you to chat, post, go live, or create custom content.
Remember, one of the major perks of being an OnlyFans creator is having the autonomy to decide when to work. Is that something you are willing to give up?
3. Shady Dudes:
Not all agencies are legitimate companies. Many agencies are run by men who have an entrepreneurial mindset, but little to no experience in the adult content creation industry. Beware of the agencies that promise you the world but only end up taking money from your pocket.
When it comes to OnlyFans management, it’s important to do your research about the agency that interests you and make an informed decision. In your research, ask questions like:
- “Is your agency 100% male owned?”
- “What measurable success have your other creators seen as a result of your services?”
- “What qualifications do you have that make you an expert in marketing to my target audience?”
- “Can you put me in contact with another creator who has used your services?”
Don’t give up creative control of your content to some random shady guy on the internet who is experimenting trying to make a quick buck off of your hard work and success.
If you can’t find a trusted OnlyFans agency that other creators vouch for, you’re probably better off either hiring a virtual assistant to chat for you or using pre-made content calendars, mass messages, JOI scripts, and other tools that help you spend less time working on your OnlyFans.
So, as you navigate the intimidating world of OnlyFans agencies, remember to stay true to yourself, and don’t forget to do the math on those percentages!
Whether you choose to strut solo or with an OnlyFans management agency entourage, always remember to prioritize what’s important to you and stick to your boundaries as a creator!
