[Journey] From $0 to… Hopefully Something – My OFM + AI Experiment

[Pavelll]

Could you tell me how you boost your Reddit account's CQS? I'm also curious about how to find a new model who runs her own fan page so I can propose a collaboration?

 

[shijin]

Damn look how far you've come, this is so inspirational

Thank you!!!

Could you tell me how you boost your Reddit account's CQS? I'm also curious about how to find a new model who runs her own fan page so I can propose a collaboration?

For CQS I don’t try to “hack” it. I just treat the account like a normal Reddit user for a while before posting anything promotional. Normal comments, normal subs, no spammy posting patterns, no instant links, no aggressive DMing. Slow account history usually works better than trying to force karma fast.
For finding models, IG/TikTok is still the easiest for me. I look for girls who already have a fan page or clearly understand the creator space, but don’t seem to have strong marketing behind them. Smaller creators are usually better to approach because they’re more open to collaboration.
The best ones are already posting consistently, have decent personality/content, but aren’t scaling properly yet. Then the pitch is basically about helping them grow and monetize better, not just “let me manage you.”

Day 181 Update

Another strong day. After the 180-day mark, the main focus is no longer proving the model works, it is keeping the system clean while the numbers keep moving up.

Operations
Chatter handled most conversations. I spent most of today reviewing how repeat buyers are being handled and where we can reduce unnecessary back-and-forth without making chats feel cold.

Observations

Biggest takeaway today:
Revenue is now more sensitive to user handling than traffic volume.

Adding more traffic helps, but small mistakes inside the flow now cost more than they did earlier. A missed follow-up, bad timing, or too much pressure can lose users who are already warmed and ready to spend.

Another thing I noticed:
Repeat buyers need rhythm, not constant selling.

If the pacing feels too aggressive, they slow down. If the pacing feels too passive, momentum dies. The sweet spot is staying present without making every interaction feel like a pitch.

On the monetization side:
PPV is becoming stronger because the trust layer is stronger.

Earlier, every offer needed more explanation. Now, users who already trust the page move faster when the offer is clear and positioned well.

Reddit is still the strongest channel for buyer intent. It is producing fewer random browsers and more users who already understand what they want before entering the funnel.

Another interesting point:
Cleaner workflows are improving chatter performance.

The less confusion inside the system, the better the conversations become. Simple rules, clear user segments, and better timing are making the whole operation easier to manage.

New Focus / Tests
• Improve rhythm for repeat buyers
• Reduce unnecessary back-and-forth
• Keep PPV positioning simple and clear
• Continue improving chatter workflow quality

The business is still growing, but the biggest edge now is operational discipline.

Hello I watched all the responses and threads I salute you, and thank you for updating us , I hope you continue to posting, I know that their are hundreds of guys watching this in silent I invited them to salute u
My two question, is what happens to the models , still posting? How many models I have now
The second question, do they post manually in the account or you handled that , in tiktok Instagrams

 

[mangirdosas]

Hey Shijin, following your OFM thread. I’m stuck on model acquisition: 500+ DMs + some Meta ads, almost no serious convos.

Quick question: what worked for you on both ads and cold DMs?

For ads: was your funnel ad → IG DM, WhatsApp, lead form, or landing page?
and what angle worked best: free audit, creator collab, freedom/opportunity, or something else?
For DMs: what kind of opener got replies, and how fast did you pitch the call/agency?

Not asking for the full method, just trying to see if my bottleneck is creative, GEO, opener, or follow-up. Appreciate it.

Appreciate that a lot bro I know many people just read silently, so it’s cool to hear.
Yeah the models are still posting, but not all of them move at the same speed. That’s one of the biggest things in this business, some creators are consistent, some need pushing, and some are just not a good fit long term. Right now I’m working with a small group rather than trying to sign everyone. Quality and consistency matter more than having a huge roster.
For posting, it depends on the model. Some content is posted by them, some is handled/managed on our side depending on the platform and workflow. The main thing is keeping the posting schedule consistent and making sure the content fits the strategy for IG/TikTok/Reddit instead of just posting randomly.

Hey bro, if 500+ DMs are getting almost no serious convos, I’d first look at targeting + account trust before blaming the opener.
I didn’t rely much on Meta ads in the beginning. Most of what worked was manual sourcing through IG/TikTok and short, natural DMs. Ads can bring leads, but a lot of them are low quality unless the angle and qualification are very tight.

For DMs, I don’t pitch the agency immediately. First message is usually very light: something specific about their content/profile + a soft question about whether they’re open to growing or monetizing more seriously. If they reply, then I explain more. Going straight into “we manage OF creators” too early usually feels like spam.
The angle that worked best for me was not “freedom/opportunity” hype. It was more practical: you already have content/attention, but you’re probably leaving money on the table because there’s no system behind it.
Also, I’d avoid chasing too hard. One follow-up is fine, maybe two if she looks like a perfect fit. But if there’s no interest after that, move on. In this niche, the quality of the lead matters way more than blasting volume.

Day 182 Update

Another strong day. Revenue continues moving up, but today was mostly about cleaning the system further and reducing unnecessary friction.

Operations
Chatter handled most conversations. I focused mainly on reviewing response quality and making sure repeat buyers are not being handled like fresh leads.

Observations

Biggest takeaway today:
The more the system grows, the more expensive small mistakes become.

At lower numbers, a missed follow-up or bad transition does not feel like a big deal. At this level, every weak point in the flow can cost real money.

Another thing I noticed:
Repeat buyers respond better to familiarity than pressure.

They already know what the page is about. They do not need long explanations or aggressive selling. They need good timing, smooth interaction, and a reason to come back.

On the monetization side:
PPV is carrying more weight because trust has compounded.

Earlier, PPV sales depended more on active convincing. Now, once users are warmed and familiar, clear positioning is enough to move them much faster.

Reddit is still leading in buyer quality. It is not just bringing more revenue, it is also bringing users who require less education before buying.

Another interesting point:
The best workflow is simple enough for the chatter to execute consistently.

If a system looks smart but is hard to follow, it breaks under volume. Simple rules and clean user segments are performing better than complicated scripts.

New Focus / Tests
• Reduce small leaks in the flow
• Improve repeat buyer handling
• Keep PPV positioning simple
• Make chatter workflows easier to execute

The business is still growing, but the real priority now is making sure the system stays simple enough to scale.

Thanks bro, that actually helps a lot.

Quick question: what type of account were you DMing from? Agency page, your personal account, or creator/model-style accounts?

I’m getting around 5-10% response rate now and booked 2 calls, but both flaked unfortunately. Trying to figure out if the account trust/setup is the main issue.

I’m getting around 5-10% response rate now and booked 2 calls, but both flaked unfortunately. Trying to figure out if the account trust/setup is the main issue.

I tested a few, but the best results came from an account that looked like a real business/operator, not some empty “agency” page with no proof.
A pure agency page can work, but if it looks generic, creators instantly assume spam. A personal-style account with some credibility, simple branding, and normal activity feels more trustworthy in my experience.

Also 5–10% response rate is not bad. If calls are flaking, the problem might be less “DM opener” and more pre-call qualification/trust. I’d try to build a little more conversation before pushing the call, make the value clearer, and confirm they actually have motivation before booking.

A lot of creators are curious, but not serious. The goal is not just getting calls booked, it’s filtering for girls who will actually show up and stay consistent.

Yeah I agree with this.
The account you message from matters a lot. A creator usually checks your profile before replying, so if the page looks empty, fake, or too generic, the DM is already dead.
I wouldn’t make it too “corporate” though. A super formal agency page can also look scammy. Best is somewhere in the middle, clean, real, active, simple bio, clear what you help with, and some proof/credibility if possible.
Also your English is fine bro, point makes sense. Account trust + profile impression is a big part of outreach.

Day 183 Update

Another strong day. Revenue keeps moving up, but today was mostly about improving consistency inside the operation instead of adding more moving parts.

Revenue
• Total: $3,389
• Subscriptions: $726
• PPV: $2,124
• Tips: $539

Subscribers
• New subs: 215
• Rebill rate: ~94%

• Other: ~5%

Content Posted

• IG Stories: 36

Operations
Chatter handled most conversations. I focused mainly on checking repeat buyer flows and improving how fast high-intent users are recognized inside the chat queue.

Observations

Biggest takeaway today:
The faster high-intent users are identified, the smoother everything becomes.

At higher volume, the biggest mistake is letting serious buyers sit in the same pile as casual browsers. Once the system separates them earlier, response quality improves and revenue becomes easier to control.

Another thing I noticed:
The best conversations are getting shorter, not longer.

Not rushed, just cleaner. Less filler, fewer unnecessary messages, and better timing. Users with strong intent do not need to be over-warmed.

On the monetization side:
Repeat buyers are now becoming the backbone of daily revenue.

Fresh traffic still matters, but the most predictable money is coming from users who already trust the experience and only need the right offer at the right time.

Reddit continues to dominate buyer quality. IG is still useful for discovery, but Reddit users are arriving with much stronger intent and less resistance.

Another interesting point:
Operational consistency is now more important than creative ideas.

A great idea does not matter if the follow-up is missed, the chat tone changes too much, or the user is pushed at the wrong moment. Clean execution is beating constant experimentation.

New Focus / Tests
• Identify high-intent users faster
• Shorten unnecessary chat paths
• Strengthen repeat buyer flows
• Keep execution consistent across the team

The system keeps growing, but the edge now is not doing more, it is doing the right things cleaner.

 

[shijin]

Day 184 Update

Another strong day. Revenue keeps climbing, but today was mostly about tightening execution and making sure the system does not become messy as volume increases.

Revenue
• Total: $3,472
• Subscriptions: $744
• PPV: $2,176
• Tips: $552

Subscribers
• New subs: 221

• IG Stories: 36

Operations
Chatter handled most conversations. I focused mainly on checking where the system is becoming too dependent on manual judgment and where we need cleaner rules.

Observations

Biggest takeaway today:
Manual judgment does not scale unless the rules are clear.

When volume was lower, it was easier to handle things case by case. Now, if the chatter has to “figure it out” every time, mistakes happen faster.

Another thing I noticed:
The best users usually show intent through behavior, not words.

Some users ask a lot of questions but never buy. Others barely say anything, but respond fast, stay engaged, and purchase when the offer is clear. Watching behavior is becoming more important than reading the message itself.

On the monetization side:
Repeat buyers are becoming easier to grow, but easier to lose if handled badly.

Once trust is built, they move faster. But if the pacing becomes too aggressive or too robotic, they can also cool down quickly.

Reddit continues to dominate revenue quality. IG still brings discovery and keeps the top of the funnel alive, but Reddit users are still entering with stronger intent and higher average spend.

Another interesting point:
Simple systems are outperforming clever systems.

Every time the workflow gets too complex, execution quality drops. Simple segmentation, simple offer paths, and simple follow-up timing are giving better results than over-engineered flows.

New Focus / Tests
• Create clearer rules for chatter decisions
• Improve behavior-based user tagging
• Protect repeat buyers from over-selling
• Keep workflows simple as volume grows

The business keeps scaling, but the real challenge now is protecting quality while everything gets bigger.

Thank you!!!

For CQS I don’t try to “hack” it. I just treat the account like a normal Reddit user for a while before posting anything promotional. Normal comments, normal subs, no spammy posting patterns, no instant links, no aggressive DMing. Slow account history usually works better than trying to force karma fast.
For finding models, IG/TikTok is still the easiest for me. I look for girls who already have a fan page or clearly understand the creator space, but don’t seem to have strong marketing behind them. Smaller creators are usually better to approach because they’re more open to collaboration.
The best ones are already posting consistently, have decent personality/content, but aren’t scaling properly yet. Then the pitch is basically about helping them grow and monetize better, not just “let me manage you.”

Do you search for girls on Instagram using hashtags? I’ve tried setting up a recommendations feed, but I keep coming across models who are already quite popular and therefore not suitable for this or who are already signed to an agency. Out of 100 girls, what percentage reply, and of those who reply, what percentage agree to work? What percentage do you offer them?

Out of 100 girls, what percentage reply, and of those who reply, what percentage agree to work? What percentage do you offer them?

I rarely use hashtags directly anymore. Sometimes they help, but most of my sourcing comes from Explore, suggested accounts, Reels, and accounts connected to creators I've already looked at. Once the algorithm is trained properly, it starts feeding you potential leads all day.
As for reply rates, it varies a lot depending on niche, country, account quality, and how targeted the outreach is. I'd rather send 50 highly targeted DMs than 500 random ones. The targeting is honestly more important than the script.
Of the girls who reply, only a small percentage are actually serious. A lot are curious, some already have management, some aren't interested in monetizing harder, and some simply disappear after a few messages. That's normal.


For rev share, there's no universal number. It depends on the creator, how much they're already making, what you're handling, and how much value you're bringing. I try to structure it so both sides have a reason to keep growing long term rather than focusing only on the percentage itself.

Day 185 Update

Another strong day. Revenue is still moving upward, but today felt more like refinement than expansion. The system is getting bigger, but the main goal is keeping it clean.

Revenue
• Total: $3,561
• Subscriptions: $762
• PPV: $2,231
• Tips: $568

Subscribers

Content Posted

• IG Stories: 37

Operations
Chatter handled most conversations. I focused mainly on checking how repeat buyers are being prioritized and where the system is still wasting time on users with weak buying signals.

Observations

Biggest takeaway today:
Not every engaged user is a valuable user.

This is becoming more obvious at higher volume. Some users reply a lot, ask questions, and keep conversations alive, but never really move toward buying. Others are quiet, direct, and spend fast when the offer is positioned correctly.

Another thing I noticed:
Attention has to be earned inside the system.

Earlier, we gave too much time to anyone who replied. Now the focus is more on behavior:
• response speed
• buying history
• type of questions
• how they react to offers

That alone improves efficiency a lot.

On the monetization side:
Repeat buyers are becoming the easiest place to increase revenue.

The trust is already there. The key is not overdoing it. Better timing, cleaner offers, and less pressure are working better than trying to push more aggressively.

Reddit continues to be the strongest revenue channel. IG still helps with discovery and visibility, but Reddit users are still showing stronger intent and higher average spend.

Another interesting point:
Simple follow-ups are outperforming clever ones.

The more natural the message feels, the better the response. Over-polished follow-ups feel too scripted and reduce trust.

New Focus / Tests
• Prioritize users based on buying signals
• Reduce time spent on low-value engagement
• Improve repeat buyer timing
• Keep follow-ups simple and natural

The business keeps growing, but the biggest win now is making sure attention goes to the users who actually move revenue.

this is probably the most honest way to start a journey thread — no fake guru tone, no pretending to have everything figured out.

what i like is that you're treating AI as leverage, not some magic button. outreach, content ideas, scripts, follow-ups — all useful, but the real work is still consistency and testing.

the first model will probably be the hardest part, but once you understand what actually gets replies, the system becomes much easier to improve.

Day 186 Update

Another strong day. Revenue keeps climbing, but the main focus today was keeping the operation efficient as the volume gets heavier.

• IG Stories: 38

Operations
Chatter handled most conversations. I focused mainly on reviewing user prioritization and making sure the best buyers are not getting delayed behind low-intent chats.

Observations

Biggest takeaway today:
Delay kills high-intent conversations faster than bad copy.

When someone is ready to spend, timing matters more than having the perfect message. A simple reply at the right moment often beats a polished reply sent too late.

Another thing I noticed:
The system needs fewer “smart” decisions and more clear rules.

At this volume, too many judgment calls slow everything down. Clear rules for who gets priority, when to follow up, and when to stop wasting time are making the workflow much smoother.

On the monetization side:
Repeat buyers are becoming more predictable than new buyers.

New users still bring growth, but repeat buyers are where daily stability comes from. Once trust is built, the main job is keeping the experience smooth and not over-selling.

Reddit continues to be the strongest source for buyer quality. The users coming from there are still spending faster and requiring less warming compared to IG traffic.

Another interesting point:
Over-engagement can look productive while actually hurting revenue.

Some chats feel active but do not move anywhere. Cutting unnecessary back-and-forth helped keep more attention on users with real buying signals.

New Focus / Tests
• Reduce delays for high-intent users
• Create clearer priority rules for chatter
• Keep repeat buyer flow simple
• Cut low-value conversations earlier

The business keeps growing, but the biggest edge now is speed, clarity, and knowing where attention should go.

Could you please give me some advice on TikTok and Instagram traffic? How many accounts do you manage for a single model? How do you transfer followers from TikTok to your official account, especially if, for example, you have 10 TikTok accounts and only one Instagram account?
I’m also very interested to know how many posts and stories you put out each day, how much time you leave between them, and whether you use AI-generated content.

I’m also very interested to know how many posts and stories you put out each day, how much time you leave between them, and whether you use AI-generated content.

For one model I don’t like going too wide too early. A few solid accounts with consistent posting usually beat 10 messy accounts. If the main IG is the “home base,” then TikTok is mostly discovery, the goal is to make people curious enough to search/click through naturally, not force everything too aggressively.
For moving TikTok traffic to IG, I keep the branding consistent: same name/style, similar profile picture, same vibe across platforms. If people see the TikTok and then land on IG, it should feel like the same creator, not a random funnel.


Posting depends on the model and how much content we have, but usually it’s a few reels/TikToks per day plus a lot more stories on IG. Stories are important because they warm people up and create DM replies, while reels are more for reach.
I don’t overthink exact timing too much. I just avoid dumping everything at once and spread posts through the day so the account looks active and natural.
For AI content, mostly for ideas, captions, hooks, planning, and workflow. I wouldn’t build the whole thing on obvious AI-generated content because it usually feels fake fast. Real content + good structure still performs better.

Day 187 Update

Another strong day. Revenue is still moving up, but today was mostly about improving how the team handles volume without losing quality.

Revenue
• Total: $3,742

• IG Stories: 39

Operations
Chatter handled most conversations. I focused mainly on checking if high-value users are getting enough attention while low-intent users are being filtered faster.

Observations

Biggest takeaway today:
Not all conversations deserve the same depth.

Some users need a real conversation before buying. Some need only a clean offer. Some are just killing time. Treating all three the same creates unnecessary workload and slows down the users who actually matter.

Another thing I noticed:
The best buyers usually do not need to be chased hard.

They need clarity, timing, and a smooth experience. If the chat becomes too pushy, it can actually reduce spend instead of increasing it.

On the monetization side:
Repeat buyer flow is becoming one of the main growth levers.

Once someone has already spent, the system should not reset them back to zero. They need a different rhythm, different timing, and a more direct experience.

Reddit continues to dominate buyer quality. IG still brings visibility and top-of-funnel attention, but Reddit users are still easier to convert and usually require less warming.

Another interesting point:
Clean prioritization reduces burnout.

When the chatter knows exactly who matters, the whole workflow feels lighter. Less random chasing, fewer wasted replies, and better energy in the conversations that actually move revenue.

New Focus / Tests
• Improve user depth classification
• Give repeat buyers a cleaner flow
• Reduce chasing low-intent users
• Keep Reddit scaling controlled and high-quality

The business keeps growing, but the real game now is protecting attention and using it where it creates the highest return.
