Do you really need complex systems to succeed in OFM?

[ankilosaur]

Hi, I’m launching an OFM agency in France and I’ve been in the space for about 6 months. From the start, I’ve had the impression that a large part of the ecosystem pushes toward very technical and often blackhat processes: multi-accounting, anti-detect browsers, proxies, heavy automation, etc.


On my side, I’m much more oriented toward creation, branding, trend analysis, and content direction. After several months trying to master these technical setups without real success, I’m starting to question something more fundamental: is this actually necessary to build a viable and high-performing OFM agency? When I look at large creators and influencers, especially in the US, it seems to me that the agencies behind them operate with relatively classic marketing, strong brand direction, and solid chatting systems, without this kind of overly complex technical infrastructure. On the other hand, in many Telegram groups, the dominant model seems to be: small anonymous models combined with heavy and complex technical processes.


So my question is: is this really a mandatory step? Have the agencies that now manage established, visible influencers all gone through this phase, or are there alternative paths that are more focused on creation and management?

When you say agency from your text it means it is just you alone. From ypur writing it is very hard to understand what you're asking us, however if you have the models and you're not getting desired results then you need to ask yourself why and identify where the problem lies; is it models lack of content creation, lack of traffic, social media views, upselling, etc... In short I don't exactly know where your problem lies. If you have something that works, don't fix it.

Lorsque vous parlez d'agence dans votre texte, cela signifie que vous êtes seul. Votre formulation est difficile à comprendre, mais si vous avez les modèles et que vous n'obtenez pas les résultats escomptés, vous devez vous interroger sur les raisons et identifier la source du problème : manque de contenu de la part des modèles, manque de trafic, de visibilité sur les réseaux sociaux, de ventes additionnelles, etc. ? En bref, je ne sais pas exactement où se situe le problème. Si votre stratégie fonctionne, ne la modifiez pas.

Thank you. To clarify, my question is not really about a specific performance issue (traffic, sales, content, etc.), but more about the path to take from the very beginning.


I’m mainly wondering whether it’s truly necessary to rely on very technical systems (multi-accounting, automation, anti-detect tools) to run an OFM agency, or if it’s possible to build something solid by focusing more on the human side: branding, content creation, the relationship with the models, and day-to-day management.


I’m simply trying to understand whether this is a mandatory step or if there are other approaches that also work well in the long run.

In today's market you will 100% need a proper setup and "complex systems".
New people always fall into traps where they think they can make it when their first accounts gets big on Instagram and tiktok and reddit but realize it is not scaleable. There is real value to anti-detect browsers.

It’s not just related to OFMs, these days to properly promote across social platforms you’re going to need to run your accounts in a way that doesn’t get them flagged. It’s far from impossible, but definitely not easy either, especially for gray/black hat niches.

The onlyfans is not blackhat niche by any means. Most social media work around it is not blackhat niche. People just try to find get rich quick schemes.
OFM is one of the harder agencies and management services for many reasons.
