Ding Dong, the Agency's Gone!I'm going to write a long blog ..
🕑 Added 2024-12-11 16:28:34 +0000 UTC Ding Dong, the Agency's Gone!I'm going to write a long blog post about this soon, but I need to let everyone know immediately about what's been going on. About 5 months ago my main source of promoting my Onlyfans (Reddit) started falling off mysteriously. We were just starting to make silly instagram content but it wasn't bringing in many subscribers to my page. In the process of searching for solutions, I came upon some youtube channels of Onlyfans Management Agencies.Now, anyone with experience in this industry will tell you to avoid these guys like the plague. 99% of them are scams. But... when you look at big accounts, they are all using agencies because you simply can't handle thousands of fans all wanting to chat at the same time, while posting consistently to every social media platform under the sun. We found one youtuber that we really liked. He seemed ethical, knowledgeable, passionate, and creative. "If we DID hire an agency... it would be with him" I told Peter once. Well, we started givingthe idea more thought as I was getting overwhelmed trying to respond to messages, manage custom requests, promote, write scripts, shoot content, edit, take care of my cat, take care of our home, and have time for my passions of guitar and writing about sex work. Peter and our videographer helping out too wasn't enough. So we interviewed with several agencies until we narrowed them down to 3. And eventually we did a 2 week trial run with the youtuber we liked. We felt like he would take good care of our brand and fans. We were wrong. It was an absolute nightmare.Communication was non-existent. The chatters had terrible grammar and were using exploitative tactics. Their social media accounts for me kept getting banned. They were spamming DM's trying to sell PPV's for exorbitant prices and people barely opened their messages anymore. He tried to get me to change my brand to be a nurse. I like the nurse stuff I shot, but it was hard to make content because it didn't feel like me.After a stressful nightmare week, we had to call it quits. It was nothing like we were promised. Reeling from this experience, I wanted to be done with the whole agency thing and just try managing things ourselves. But we were still overwhelmed, so we decided to look to hire our own virtual assistant or two. Maybe if we could train them ourselves, we could make sure they did a good job representing our brand with none of the agency tactics.During this process we got connected to a guy (Let's call him Mark) who offered to give us coaching on how to better promote on instagram. Unlike the youtuber, he seemed very engaged at first. We told him all the bad things the previous agency did and made it clear we wanted to do things differently. He made us a good offer to manage our OF and social media platforms. Mark told us that he was here to serve us and open to any feedback. Well, I'm still reeling from the past several months as I type this. Unlike the youtuber's quick burst of incompetency, Mark was a boiling frog in water kind of situation. I'm feeling angry and embarassed thinking about how long we let this guy stick around. I'll save this story for the blog post, but suffice it to say everything Mark did was shoddy. He kept blaming me for not having enough content, or my content not being "Frisky" enough. Meanwhile, nothing got done on time and there were excuses for everything. He kept pushing us to make a ton of really stupid content for instagram. Peter and I had to spend so much time managing Mark that we didn't realize he was making more work for us, not less. We got so upset with Mark that we passive-aggressively started an instagram series about me ending up with a shitty social media management team. We're going to continue the series and it's going to be fun skewering the agency types publicly.Mark had horrible strategies for chatting, like having someone pretend to be me at 3 am everynight as if I was a complete insomniac, sending out a constant hum of "Hey, how are you, how are you, how is your morning, how is your evening" until many of our fans assumed the account was run by bots. If any of you have had a subpar experience in the past few months, I'm really sorry. It must feel shitty to not know if the person you are talking to isn't really who they say they are. Onlyfans managers say that these scummy tactics are necessary to make sales. I think it's annoying as hell. I think these dudebroshave no clue what actually appeals to people about Onlyfans. They're just another example of a long history of men coming in to be a middle man and take a chunk of a sex worker's money. Peter and I spent years building this page up ourselves. We know better than them what our customers want. It's authenticity. It's care. It's a fun, relaxing place to set aside worries and enjoy yourself. To practice flirting with a smart woman who treats you with respect. I am so done with agencies of any type. Never again. I don't think Peter and I are a good fit for agencies. We care too much about our fans and our content being authentic. Having chatters mostly replace me in the DM's made me feelso disconnected from my fans. I started getting really depressed. And that made me feel even less capable of taking over the reins again. But Peter and I started going on long walks together and talking about what we could do. And we eventually came to the conclusion that the only thing Mark ever did for us that worked was he found us a good chatter named Marie. Marie is a really hard worker and a very sweet gal. Mark had been evasive about what he was paying Marie, and when we finally pressed him to the wall, he admitted he was paying her a pittance of what she deserved to be making. We got rid of everyone else, but we want to keep supporting Marie. So we came up with an idea.This idea is rare in the onlyfans space, but normal anywhere else. Rather than having Marie pretend to be me like all the agencies do, she's just going to be my trusted chatting assistant. She can find videos for you, take custom requests, schedule sexting dates, and pass on messages to me. She is also skilled in the horny arts and is available to help you enjoy my content. She'll be on from 10 am to 6 pm PST weekdays. Be kind to her.I'm going to post my schedule for when I'll be online for chatting. Yes, going forward you can always trust that it will be me and only me at these times.I'll be on for chatting less than 20 hours per week because I'm a real person that has a lot of work to do to grow my page. I'm making a lot of other changes too. Dropping PPV prices and making most of my blowjobs and facials free to all VIP members. Getting rid of the shitty AI-sounding mass messages and wall posts. No more pressuring people to make sales. The fan experience here is about to get a lot more enjoyable and relaxing.I'm going to start a youtube vlog so people can see what my life is actually like. and to share my thoughts on the porn industry, Onlyfans, and sex work in general. I really miss you guys and I feel so relieved to be done with this nightmare and free to run things in a better way again. Please reach out to me to say hi. I want to hear about your experience lately, good or bad, and what I can do to help you feel more valued by me.Love, Zoe ❤️
