What is an OnlyFans Agency?
An OnlyFans agency (also called OFM - OnlyFans Management) is a business that helps content creators grow their OnlyFans accounts in exchange for a percentage of their earnings. Think of it like a talent management company, but specifically for the creator economy.
Agencies typically provide some or all of the following services:
Chatting/Messaging
Professional chatters who handle subscriber DMs 24/7, driving PPV sales and tips.
Content Strategy
Planning content calendars, post scheduling, and content optimization for maximum engagement.
Marketing & Growth
Social media management, Reddit marketing, paid ads, and promotion strategies.
Business Operations
Analytics, pricing optimization, financial tracking, and business development.
The Value Proposition
Why do creators pay agencies 20-50% of their earnings? Because a good agency can 2-5x their income. A creator making $5,000/month solo might make $15,000/month with professional management - even after paying the agency cut, they come out ahead.
"I went from $8K to $35K/month after signing with an agency. Even with their 30% cut, I'm making way more than I was on my own." - Anonymous SirenCY Creator
Why Start an OnlyFans Agency in 2026?
The market opportunity has never been better. Here's why 2026 is the perfect time to start:
1. Massive Market Size
OnlyFans has over 3 million creators and 220+ million registered users. The platform processes billions in transactions annually. Yet only a fraction of creators have professional management - the market is far from saturated.
3M+
Creators
$6.6B

2. Low Barrier to Entry
Unlike most businesses, you don't need massive capital to start. No inventory, no physical location, no expensive equipment. Your main investments are your time, skills, and a few hundred dollars for legal setup. The business is 100% remote and can be run from anywhere in the world.
3. Recurring Revenue Model
Once you sign a creator, you earn a percentage of their revenue month after month. As long as they stay with you and keep earning, you keep getting paid. This creates predictable, growing income - not one-time sales.
4. Scalable Business
The agency model scales beautifully. Sign more creators, hire more chatters, grow revenue. There's no ceiling. Agencies managing 50+ creators can generate $500K+ monthly in revenue share alone.
Agency Business Models & Revenue Shares
Before you start, you need to decide on your business model. Here are the main approaches:
Model 1: Full-Service Management (20-50% Revenue Share)
You handle everything: chatting, marketing, content strategy, and operations. In exchange, you take 20-50% of the creator's total OnlyFans earnings.
Pros:
- ✓ Highest earning potential per creator
- ✓ Full control over results
- ✓ Creators are hands-off, happy
Cons:
- ✗ Requires larger team
- ✗ More operational complexity
- ✗ Higher responsibility
Model 2: Chatting-Only Agency (10-20% Revenue Share)
You only handle messaging/chatting. The creator manages their own content and marketing. Lower commission, but lower overhead and easier to scale.
Pros:
- ✓ Simpler operations
- ✓ Easier to scale
- ✓ Lower startup costs
Cons:
- ✗ Lower revenue per creator
- ✗ Less control over results
- ✗ Harder to differentiate
Model 3: Marketing-Only Agency (Flat Fee or 15-25%)
Focus on growing the creator's audience through social media, Reddit, and paid advertising. No chatting responsibilities.
Pros:
- ✓ Leverage existing marketing skills
- ✓ Tangible, measurable results
- ✓ Can work with many clients
Cons:
- ✗ Results take time
- ✗ Harder to prove ROI
- ✗ Client churn can be higher
Our Recommendation
For beginners, we recommend starting with chatting-only to learn the business, then expanding to full-service as you grow. This keeps initial complexity low while still generating meaningful revenue.
Step 1: Legal & Business Setup
Before signing your first creator, you need proper legal structure. This protects you, builds credibility, and ensures you're operating legitimately.
1.1 Choose Your Business Entity
LLC (Limited Liability Company) - Recommended
Protects your personal assets, simple to set up, tax flexibility. Cost: $50-$500 depending on state/country.
Sole Proprietorship
Easiest to start but offers no personal liability protection. Only recommended for testing the waters.
Corporation (C-Corp/S-Corp)
Better for larger operations or if seeking investors. More complex and expensive to maintain.
1.2 Essential Legal Documents
- 1.Creator Management Agreement
Your contract with creators. Defines services, revenue share, termination clauses, and responsibilities.
- 2.Independent Contractor Agreement
For hiring chatters and VAs. Protects you from employee misclassification issues.
- 3.NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement)
Ensures confidentiality for creators' identities and business information.
- 4.Terms of Service
Standard terms for anyone working with or for your agency.
1.3 Banking & Payments
You'll need a business bank account to receive creator payments and pay your team. Common payment flows:
- →Creator pays you directly via PayPal, Wise, or crypto based on earnings reports
- →You have access to creator's dashboard to verify earnings (view-only)
- →Payments are typically weekly or bi-weekly
💡 Pro Tip
Invest $200-$500 in having a lawyer review your contracts before using them. A poorly written contract can cost you thousands in disputes later. Many online legal services offer affordable contract reviews.
Step 2: Finding & Signing Creators
This is where most new agencies struggle. Finding creators willing to sign with an unknown agency requires hustle, credibility, and the right approach.
Where to Find Potential Creators
Instagram/TikTok
Look for models/influencers who don't have OF links yet or have small OFs. DM with value-first approach.
Subreddits like r/onlyfansadvice, r/CreatorsAdvice. Engage genuinely, don't spam.
Twitter/X
Many creators announce looking for management. Search 'looking for OF agency' or similar.
Dating Apps
Controversial but effective. Many attractive people are curious about OF money.
Referrals
Your best creators refer their friends. Build a referral bonus program.
Model Sites
Model Mayhem, PurplePort, etc. Contact models about diversifying income.
The Pitch: How to Get Creators to Sign
Creators get DMed by "agencies" constantly. Most are scams or unprofessional. Here's how to stand out:
- 1
Lead with Value
Don't pitch immediately. Comment on their content, share useful tips, build rapport first.
- 2
Show Proof
Case studies, testimonials, example results. Even if you're new, show your knowledge.
- 3
Be Professional
Have a website, proper contracts, clear communication. Most 'agencies' look sketchy.
- 4
Offer a Trial
Reduce risk with a 30-day trial or performance guarantee. If you're good, they'll stay.
- 5
Solve Their Problems
Ask about their struggles. Are DMs overwhelming? Not enough time? Subscriber growth flat? Position your services as the solution.
⚠️ What NOT to Do
- • Don't cold DM with "interested in management?" - everyone does this
- • Don't promise unrealistic results ("we'll 10x your income")
- • Don't bad-mouth other agencies to win clients
- • Don't lie about your experience or results
Step 3: Building Your Chatter Team
Unless you plan to chat yourself 24/7, you'll need chatters. Here's how to build a reliable team:
Where to Find Chatters
- →Reddit communities (r/onlyfansadvice, r/RemoteJobs)
- →Facebook groups for remote work and virtual assistants
- →Freelancer platforms (Fiverr, Upwork - search 'OnlyFans virtual assistant')
- →Twitter/X - many chatters advertise their services
- →Referrals from existing chatters
- →Post on your own website careers page
What to Look For in Chatters
Strong Written English
Most subscribers are English-speaking. Grammar and fluency matter.
Sales Personality
Outgoing, persuasive, comfortable with the content type.
Reliability
Will they show up for shifts? Flaky chatters hurt your business.
Quick Learner
Every creator has different persona. Adaptability is key.
Training Your Chatters
Even experienced chatters need training on your systems and creator personas:
- 1Create persona documents for each creator (voice, boundaries, pricing)
- 2Develop scripts for common scenarios (welcome messages, PPV pitches, objections)
- 3Establish quality standards and performance metrics
- 4Shadow experienced chatters during first few shifts
- 5Regular feedback and performance reviews
Step 4: Content & Operations Systems
Systems are what separate struggling agencies from successful ones. Build these early:
Communication Hub
Slack, Discord, or Telegram
Central place for team communication, shift handoffs, and creator updates.
Task Management
Notion, Asana, or Trello
Track content schedules, custom requests, and team assignments.
Analytics Tracking
Spreadsheets, Infloww, or custom tools
Monitor earnings, conversion rates, subscriber growth across all accounts.
Content Storage
Google Drive, Dropbox
Organized content libraries for each creator, PPV packages ready to send.
Step 5: Scaling to 7 Figures
Once you have your first 3-5 creators performing well, it's time to scale:
Systematize Everything
Document all processes. Onboarding, training, daily operations should work without you.
Hire Team Leads
Promote top chatters to manage others. Focus on recruiting and strategy, not daily chatting.
Specialize by Niche
Become known for specific niches (fitness, cosplay, etc.) to attract creators in those spaces.
Build Inbound Marketing
Website, content marketing, social proof. Have creators come to you instead of chasing them.
Develop Referral Programs
Pay bonuses for creator and chatter referrals. Your network becomes your growth engine.
Revenue Growth Trajectory
| Stage | Creators | Monthly Agency Revenue | Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Startup | 1-3 | $2K-$8K | Months 1-3 |
| Growing | 5-10 | $15K-$40K | Months 4-8 |
| Established | 15-30 | $50K-$120K | Year 1-2 |
| Scaled | 50+ | $200K-$500K+ | Year 2+ |
Common Mistakes to Avoid
❌ Signing anyone with a pulse
Low-quality creators drain resources. Be selective - focus on creators with potential and work ethic.
❌ Overpromising results
Saying 'we'll 10x your income' sets unrealistic expectations. Underpromise, overdeliver.
❌ No contracts or weak contracts
Creators leave after you grow them. Strong contracts protect your investment.
❌ Hiring cheap, unreliable chatters
Bad chatters lose subscribers and damage creator accounts. Pay for quality.
❌ Not tracking performance
You can't improve what you don't measure. Analytics are essential.
❌ Ignoring creator relationships
Creators are your partners, not just revenue sources. Communication and care matter.
Realistic Timeline & Expectations
Here's an honest timeline of what to expect:
Setup legal, create contracts, build basic systems. Start outreach to creators.
0-1 creators signed
Intensive creator outreach. Onboard first creators. Hire first chatters.
2-4 creators, breaking even
Refine operations. First real profits. Getting testimonials and case studies.
5-8 creators, $5K-$15K/month
Scale team. Inbound leads. Proven playbook. Strong reputation.
10-20 creators, $15K-$50K/month
