Takeaways

• 😀 Nail the onboarding process to set clear expectations and establish effective communication from the start. The first few weeks shape the long-term relationship.
• 😀 Clear and consistent communication is key. Ensure the creator understands that if they need help or can't meet deadlines, they should communicate early to avoid misunderstandings.
• 😀 Many creators are not as driven or organized as you, so make their job as easy as possible by providing clear instructions and systems for content creation.
• 😀 Creators often fail to understand the value you provide. Be proactive in showing them the behind-the-scenes work you’re doing to help them succeed (e.g., marketing, team management).
• 😀 Never make fake promises or use false testimonials to attract clients. Be honest about what you can deliver to avoid setting unrealistic expectations.
• 😀 Don't ignore red flags during the initial assessment of a potential creator. If they show signs of being uncommitted or have a history of not following through, it might be better to pass on the partnership.
• 😀 Always explain the 'why' behind your actions and expectations to creators. Whether it’s why they need to smile more in videos or why certain content is necessary, transparency builds trust.
• 😀 Keep creators informed on the performance of their account. Regular updates on earnings, new subscribers, and improvements help them understand the value you bring.
• 😀 Set clear, realistic expectations for growth. Be transparent with creators about potential earnings and timeframes to avoid future dissatisfaction.
• 😀 Learn from your mistakes. If a creator stops working with you, analyze the situation to understand what went wrong and avoid making the same mistake again in the future.

Q & A

Why is onboarding so crucial in onlyfans management?

Onboarding is crucial because the first two to three weeks set the pace for the entire working relationship. A strong, clear onboarding process ensures that both the agency and the creator understand their roles and responsibilities, and establishes effective communication systems from the start.

What is the main cause of communication breakdowns between agencies and creators?

The main cause of communication breakdowns is the lack of clear and open communication from the very beginning. Creators may feel overwhelmed or unsure of what is expected from them, and without clear guidance or systems in place, they might not communicate their challenges, leading to frustration on both sides.

How can an agency communicate its value to creators?

An agency can communicate its value by being proactive and transparent about the work being done behind the scenes, such as marketing strategies, hired experts, and other efforts to grow the creator’s platform. Regular updates and explaining the effort and investment the agency is making will help the creator appreciate the value of their partnership.

What happens when creators don't understand the agency's efforts?

When creators don’t understand the agency’s efforts, they may feel like they are doing all the work themselves, which can lead to dissatisfaction. This can cause them to consider leaving the agency, as they may believe they can handle things on their own without realizing how much the agency contributes to their success.

Why should agencies avoid making false promises or using fake testimonials?

Agencies should avoid fake testimonials or false promises because they create unrealistic expectations. If results don't meet those inflated promises, creators will feel misled, and this can damage trust, potentially leading to the termination of the partnership and harm to the agency's reputation.

What is the risk of ignoring red flags during the creator onboarding process?

Ignoring red flags, such as a creator’s lack of time or previous poor experiences with other agencies, can result in difficult working relationships. If the creator isn’t a good fit, it can lead to wasted time, resources, and ultimately the creator leaving, which negatively impacts the agency's revenue.

How can agencies effectively handle content creation and creator expectations?

Agencies should explain why certain tasks are required and how they contribute to the creator's success. For example, explaining the potential revenue from a specific video can motivate the creator to complete the task with more enthusiasm, as they understand the larger picture and benefits.

What’s the importance of being transparent about earnings with creators?

Being transparent about earnings builds trust and helps creators understand the impact of their content. Regular updates about earnings, new subscribers, and performance issues show the creator that the agency is actively working to grow their platform and that their success is a shared goal.

Why is it critical to under-promise and over-deliver in onlyfans management?

Under-promising and over-delivering sets realistic expectations and ensures that creators are not disappointed if results take longer to materialize. This approach builds trust and creates a stable, long-term working relationship between the agency and the creator.

How can agencies learn from past mistakes when a creator leaves?

Agencies should reflect on why a creator left and analyze what went wrong. It's important to ask the creator for feedback, whether they provide a full answer or not, to learn from the experience. By identifying and addressing mistakes, agencies can improve their processes and prevent future issues with other creators.
