A few years ago I was doing overnight shifts as a chatter for another agency. Pretty basic stuff — replying to messages for hours every day and learning how the whole business actually worked behind the scenes.

Now I run my own agency managing 12 creators across OnlyFans.

I handle pretty much everything outside of content creation: traffic, marketing, Reddit/TikTok/IG promotion, hiring chatters, managing teams, retention, scaling pages, all that stuff. The creators focus on content, I focus on growth and making the pages profitable.

The business is doing well now but it definitely wasn’t smooth getting here. I’ve dealt with creators quitting out of nowhere, lazy chatters, payment processor problems, shadowbans, fake promises, burnout, and a lot of trial and error.

People online make this industry look easy but honestly it feels more like running a remote sales company than anything else. Most of the work is systems, consistency, management, and knowing how to keep traffic flowing.

Not selling anything or promoting a course. Just thought people here might find the business model interesting since it’s still kind of a weird niche.

Ask me anything.

A few years ago I started as a regular chatter doing 8-hour shifts. Today I own and run my own agency handling operations for 14 pages.

I take care of the marketing, traffic (Instagram, TikTok, dating apps, etc.), chatting teams, and everything else while the creators focus on content. I handle growth and monetization, they provide the content.

The business has been going really well. I'm making solid money, the operation is stable, and I've learned a ton about scaling teams, managing remote chatters, platform risks, and what actually drives revenue in this space.

It's not all glamorous though dealing with unmotivated talent, high churn, payment processor issues, and keeping quality chatters are constant challenges.

No pitch or anything, just sharing because it's a pretty unusual business model and I figured some people here might find the journey interesting.

Ask me anything about how I built it, what worked, what didn't, team management, traffic strategies, or the realities of running something like this in 2026.

I'll answer as honestly as I can.
