Questions that expose a bad agency in one call

Ten questions expose a bad OnlyFans agency in one call. The two that do the most work: is the split on gross or net of OnlyFans' 20 percent cut, and whose email is on the OnlyFans login. Add setup fees, exit cost, creators per manager, and dated proof of results. Vague answers end the call.
start with the money
what exactly is your split?
one number, everything included. a 'tools fee' added later is your first red flag.
split of gross or net?
net after OnlyFans' 20% cut is standard. make them define it in writing.
is there a setup fee?
the only good answer is no. revenue share means they only earn when you earn.
what does leaving cost?
a real one says: nothing, 30 days notice. read the exit clause first.
vague on any of these? the call is over.
then ask how the work gets done
who talks to my fans at 3am?
named people on your dedicated team. not one chatter juggling 40 accounts on scripts.
how many creators per manager?
past 15 or so, you are a row in a spreadsheet.
can I see real, dated results?
dashboards with dates, names blurred. cropped screenshots prove nothing.
whose email is on the OnlyFans login?
yours. always. if they hold the login, they hold your income.
the login question is the one bad agencies hate most.
the two questions most people skip
will you ever name me publicly? the only acceptable answer: never without your written consent. get it in the contract.
is this first call confidential? if they hesitate on an NDA before you have shared anything, they will hesitate when it matters.
discretion is not a feature. it is the baseline.
ask us the same ten
revenue share only
one split, everything included. no setup fee, no hidden extras.
no minimum term
no creator has ever left us anyway. an open door beats a locked contract.
small roster, by design
each creator gets a dedicated team. that is the whole model.
confidential from minute one
we reply within 24 hours.
we would rather lose a call than dodge a question.
Our own answers are at the end of this guide: revenue share only, calculated on net after OnlyFans' 20 percent, one split with everything included, no setup fee, no minimum term. No creator has ever left us, and no contract makes them stay. If you want to ask us the full ten yourself, send an application. We reply within 24 hours.
Common questions
What questions should I ask an OnlyFans agency before signing?
Start with money: the exact split, whether it is on gross or net of OnlyFans' 20 percent cut, setup fees, and what leaving costs. Then operations: who talks to your fans at night, creators per manager, and dated results. Finally, whose email is on the OnlyFans login. It should be yours.
Should an OnlyFans agency have my account login?
The email on your OnlyFans login should always be yours. If an agency holds the login, they hold your income: everything runs through their hands. This is the question bad agencies hate most. Ask it early, and treat hesitation as your answer.
Is an OnlyFans management split calculated on gross or net?
Net after OnlyFans' 20 percent platform cut is the standard base for a split. The same 50/50 can differ by thousands a month depending on where that 20 percent sits, so make the agency define gross or net in writing before you sign. Elvision Studios calculates its split on net, on what OnlyFans actually pays out, and runs one split with everything included.
