From Zero to Hero and then back to Zero but in the end a SuperHero:
If you make it till the end you will become a whole different person and you will see the world differently, I promise. Crazy things happening in the world. The problem is you and the solution is you.
Story:
First of all, my name is Andrew and I am 23 years old, owner of OnlyWhales. I am from Greece. I want to be real with you guys about how OnlyWhales Chatting Agency came to be. Sometimes you don't expect some things and they come from nowhere. I created a successful story of failures without even noticing. But let's start with how I started with OFM and stopped doing OFM and shifted to solely providing clients with chatting services. Honestly, before starting the chatting agency, I had started doing OFM around 2 years ago and... my story begins here:
June 2023: Closing first good model for management from Instagram cold-DMs with fake agency page + fake followers (worst method — doesn't even work anymore and waste of time). Started making some good money just from chatting because I had no idea about new subs etc. so I was making around $1000 to $1500 per month back then by luck i guess. Insane amounts for me back then. I managed to get some money in my PayPal but had no idea about taxes and stuff lol.
June 2023 - May 2024: I got burnt out trying to bring in new subs for my models. I was managing around 3-4 models for about a year and a bit more, fully focused, hustling to the full. Some models working with me in person (friends of mine) and some virtually, from the US. I was grinding hard all day trying to make it work with dating apps (blackhat methods) and some organic marketing for OnlyFans creators (IG/TT). I was all over Tinder Badoo and Bumble (had tried jailbroken iPhones, phone farms, virtual devices, web methods and literally everything) and was getting banned of course all the time. IG and TT ... damn what a nightmare. They were lazy and not making enough content, the content was shit and I wasn't able to make them make it better and they were just having mental issues but I was trying hard to make it work. I was trying to primarily do DA because it is an agency-based method and I knew I couldn't trust them on delivering content (yes don't tell me you should've fired them, I didn't have any other options and wasn't that big to do it, it was my only income source).
August 2023: I opened an LTD in EU to invoice the models (clients) legally because I was afraid of getting money in my personal account without paying taxes. And i wanted to be legit.
May - July 2024: I was making some money just from some whales I was chatting with and I had become very, very experienced with chatting. But still mad that I couldn't scale due to no traffic, everything was stable exactly at the same level. So I said it's time for me to find a mentor or biz partner. Long story — a guy from a Telegram group scams me $800 for a DA method for a small and unknown DA. I was pissed but at least I learned the name of a small DA that no one knew back then. I had found a "silver" mine but didn't have a clue because I wanted to go for the goldmine. And when you chase gold you don't even take the silver. And because I was angry and pissed I started trying to bypass it myself and promote my models on there... around 2 months trying and... Boom! Big money in! At some point I managed to bypass it myself and no one was aware of how good money it could make you from new subs. Starting to print hard, literally making bank from HQ dating app new subscribers (USA mostly). My chatting has always been on point but it was only me and myself chatting without even being aware of Infloww (CRM). But for some reason, I had sent very big sales of mine and big tipping to some big Telegram OFM groups to show to some guys that were fighting over chatting that I was doing better than them. And one 7-figs agency owner was amazed at my results and DMed me. I was talking with that friendly guy and was literally helping him with his chatting and training his PH chatters for free because he was a good person and I didn’t have anything else to do so we kept talking for months and kept helping him for free for no reason (he had tried to help me with marketing but he couldn't even help me with my models lol). Keep this guy in mind for later. By the time I started getting some good amounts of new subs I called my best friend and told him to work with me as a chatter. So I was responsible for the morning shift (8am-4pm) and he was for the night shift (12am-8am) and we had some hours with chat off. Things scaled pretty, pretty fast and I called a 2nd friend and started having 24/7 chatting. And I scaled to making 5-10k each month without any SOPs and plans, but I was happy. I didn't know that it would soon stop working and I would get mad and sad and nearly destroyed.
October 2024: All the previous months I managed to employ around 10 PH VAs and I had created a complete SOP myself for this DA and they were creating accounts internationally with GPS Spoofer and proxies and everything was going great, the PH guys were amazing and I still love them and love me! But in October something bad happened. The dating app did a very big update and improved its protection and system and took me out of business! Impossible for anyone to bypass it. I had no clue that if this happened, my whole agency would be out of business because it was my only source of income and the only pillar of my agency, the only thing that was keeping things alive. And a declining period started... I had some good money saved in my bank but... revenues started going down, all the VAs out of business and then me and my 2 friends chatting the whole day trying to keep it alive. They never betrayed me for money even if things were going shit and revenues down and they were making NOTHING. At that time I was trying to shift to organic. Long story again — I managed to keep things stable and figure out some things with IG/TT/YT and made the revenues stay stable at like 3-5k/mo. The models that I was working with in person left for personal reasons and I stayed with 1 model that I really wanted to help and had some potential but she was having lots of mental issues, and was unmotivated but the main source of income all this time because she had some big whales on OF and a very clean profile.
November 2024: I started figuring out that organic marketing and blackhat methods to bring in new subs for OF models might not be ideal for me. I wasn’t a pussy but sometimes you gotta change and go from plan A to plan B because of factors you cannot control sometimes. But I knew that I had become a chatting/psychology monster. So here for some reason I start sending out again some crazy screenshots with crazy sales and tips to random OFM groups to grab attention and lots of agency owners reach out to me, because they thought I had a big chatting agency because not gonna lie my chatting was better compared to big chatting agencies and everyone was amazed of my sales and results, ratios, LTVs and all the other KPIs regarding chatting. So at this point I figured I had to get out of chatting so I trained a 3rd friend of mine quickly and I had 3 chatters and 24/7 chat ready. So I tell the potential clients, "well yes I can take on your models and offer you a chatting service". I had never thought of doing it because I thought the profit margins would be very low. Fast forward, I started taking clients' models on and charging 10-15% per gross sale or tip and started scaling, taking on model after model and creating success stories with even small models. So before 2025 I managed to shift completely from OFM to running an OnlyFans Chatting Agency and providing the clients I had with a very good quality service. And I was very happy not because of the money I was making which was the same, but I was happy because I knew it is scalable and I could scale it to the moon because I knew what I could do and I knew what I was doing in real time. When I was managing models I might have been making 3-5k/mo but I was at a dead-end and I knew it would stop being like this soon after the whales get drained. But making 3-5k/mo from running a chatting agency was a whole different story because I knew what I had to do.
January 2025: New year new me, all in 2025 kind of mindset etc. lol
I decide to take it seriously and start building a very big chatting agency but unique and different than all the others in the market because I knew I couldn’t stand out because there are guys making millions running chatting agencies by just overcharging clients and using poor 3rd world workers like they are slaves and they are literally scamming and pushing their chatters (their employees), not respecting human rights. I am a man of honor and tradition and I know very well that I would never want to harm a human who hasn’t done anything bad to me so I decided to create a really good performance-based payment system for chatters. Also, all the chatters are people that are close to me or close to friends of mine and like this, so I take out the possibilities of scams, data leaks, needs of extra verifications of employees etc. and I wanted a good work ethic and of course help people from my country so I employed only Greek (European) chatters (top tier English level). So I start creating fully operational SOPs (onboarding systems, hiring systems, scripts, guides, tutorials) and scalability plans in general plus a huge discord server with everything included! Things were for first time going up like crazy from day to day and there was light in the tunnel for me because I was envisioning the future. I was going to bed and couldn’t wait to wake up the next day to create SOPs and plans and take over the chatting industry on OF.
I started utilizing two ways of scaling my company to the next level (don’t forget I never had anyone teach me or a mentor):
February 2025: first month where the company hits more than $5000 in a single month by just offering top tier chatting to some amazing and friendly people! No models with mental issues, laziness, annoying strippers who never send you your cut, unmotivated girls who take drugs and trying to do well on OF... no proxies and blackhat methods, no jailbreaking iPhones, buying Gmails and USA made IG accounts... better making 5k/mo than 10k/mo and having more peace of mind and no burnouts to such a big extent because they will always exist to some extent.
March 2025: remember the big 7figs agency owner that I had talked about previously that I met during 2024 in a random OFM networking group and was amazed of my chatting results? He now wanted me out of nowhere to pay me and me to teach all of his 3rd world chatters to start doing great like me. I could do it but I knew it wouldn’t work out because I knew that there’s a huge difference in 3rd world employees chatting for top tier models and top tier employees chatting for top tier models. So I made him a big deal:
"Let me take care of your whole chatting department. I will make sure that it is gonna thrive and I will replace all of your 3rd world chatters with top tier chatters, friends of mine. If we don’t make more than you currently make, I will pay the loss from my pocket. Let’s go."
What a crazy statement I had made. Just imagine that when you are closing deals with people who make 500k/month you cannot fuck up their business so you gotta do everything flawlessly and perfectly but I knew that I was the chatting GOAT, he knew this as well. I instantly fired all his chatters, around 20 chatters. Might sound like an ego move but my knowledge and life force and hungriness for taking over the industry were so big that I knew I would make it no matter what. I knew that if I also made it work with this client I would really reach new heights and get HUGE, not just big.
April 2025: our first month where the team prints money every second with every client of ours. Sales to the moon, SOPs perfectly made by me, report analysis on point, all chatters’ ethic on point, and literally there was no flaw at all, only big cash flow (lol). So in the last day of April I calculated that the company was about to hit around $30k in revenue for April, an insane amount when the previous months you were fighting for that 10k/mo. It was all good and I was waiting to receive that big payment from the 7figs agency owner and of course all the others from all the other agency owners with small models, until...
May 2025: the 7figs agency owner saw that he is getting better results from us but his costs are very high and the ROI was better before despite the fact that we were doing more sales so he told us that we will have to stop and he will replace us with the old chatters because he couldn’t afford paying that high % for chatting services. He wasn’t disappointed but it was expensive for him. The problem was his traffic was declining because of some patches on methods he was utilizing for marketing and he couldn’t do it. He wasn’t scaling his traffic/marketing part. But of course he told us that he is gonna send right now the full amount but after this we will have to stop sadly. So I had to pick between getting the full amount and then trying to find other clients who were good and friendly like him (very rare phenomenon) or just try to make him a better deal because he really was a good person and very friendly and person whom I had spent hours talking with and helping in the past for free, and helping me in return like real brothers. So I said fuck my egoism and some extra money and let's just stick to keep providing top tier HQ chatting solutions to everyone who is a really good and friendly business partner and let’s just charge him less. So I made him a better deal I just ERASED the invoice I had issued for him and I told him, "you know what bro"? I don’t want all this money bc it isn’t fair for you. Send me LITERALLY the half of the amount just for me to pay the expenses for chatters and software etc. but we will keep working like this together. And everything from the first day of May started going great. We figured out a fair deal with that client so both sides were profitable without overcharging, our client base had grown a lot and our company scaled both horizontally and vertically. May was the first month where our company was to hit big amounts, officially. Fair service fee, all clients love us because we are printing money for them, the business is growing and we are meeting more and more clients all the time but of course not accepting everyone. Quality > quantity.
June 2025: I am now writing this post. wow i am already finishing my "successful journey of failures". I am now running a very unique OnlyFans chatting agency that doesn't just offer chatters, but trains all the chatters uniquely for specific models and we train them to adjust to the persona of each model. It is serving some very well known names in the industry just because i was a fair and honored person and decided to lose money and leave my ego back instead of taking them and not giving a f about my clients (and from now on friends). My friends that didn't betray me for money are now high-paying admins/managers in my company. We have built a big office where we do the trainings and tracking and it is the place we are chatting from. My clients are all having crazy ROIs and top tier chatting and plenty of free time because they don't have to train chatters for all their models when they're scaling and we are taking over the chatting industry soon.
But please do not leave my post before reading this, it is coming from my heart and if you are struggling in making money from hustling(online biz) for years this is for you:
"The Popcorn Effect":
You put a bag of popcorn in your new microwave with the timer set for 5 minutes. You wait, wait, wait...
You notice that for a full 3 minutes nothing happens. Not a single corn has popped. So you believe that either the popcorn is bad or the microwave’s heating element is broken and not producing enough heat to pop the corn... You take the popcorn bag out and throw it in the trash, thinking and believing that either the microwave or the popcorn itself is bad... You even throw away the microwave... And in the end, you never eat popcorn plus you don't have the tool to make it now.
Someone else (you, in a parallel universe) would have waited until the end... at 3 minutes, no corns have popped... but at 3 minutes and 30 seconds you hear a “pop” — one corn bursts and becomes popcorn. After 5 seconds, you hear another pop; then after another 5 seconds, three more pops; then suddenly you hear many corns popping rapidly, and by 4 minutes almost all the corns in the microwave have popped. In the end, it wasn’t the popcorn’s fault, nor the microwave’s. The problem was that you gave up earlier than you should have. Everything has its own destiny. Just because nothing changed during 3 of the 5 minutes doesn’t mean that everything can’t change in the last single minute.
Go ahead, put a bag of popcorn in the microwave, grab a timer, and see that what I’m telling you is true. All the corns pop toward the end, just when you’re thinking of giving up and throwing it away.
(It wasn’t really about the popcorn all along )
P.S: should i continue this post/journey or maybe drop some sauce? just comment below.
Thanks so much for reading!

After 5 seconds, you hear another pop; then after another 5 seconds, three more pops; then suddenly you hear many corns popping rapidly, and by 4 minutes almost all the corns in the microwave have popped. In the end, it wasn’t the popcorn’s fault, nor the microwave’s. The problem was that you gave up earlier than you should have. Everything has its own destiny. Just because nothing changed during 3 of the 5 minutes doesn’t mean that everything can’t change in the last single minute.
Go ahead, put a bag of popcorn in the microwave, grab a timer, and see that what I’m telling you is true. All the corns pop toward the end, just when you’re thinking of giving up and throwing it away.
(It wasn’t really about the popcorn all along )
P.S: should i continue this post/journey or maybe drop some sauce? just comment below.
Thanks so much for reading!
