So Iāve been with my management agency for a little over a month, and Iām genuinely curious what other creators would do in my situation. Because at this point, I canāt tell if my expectations are too high or if this is just ridiculous. š
My latest straw is they posted a caption with two photos of me to my of wall saying āyouāve been here for some really stupid post. This is anotherā LIKE ARE WE KIDDING RN?? Am I being punkād?
Hereās a quick rundown of whatās happened in roughly a month:
Sent out old B/G content in mass messages despite me specifically wanting to focus on solo content.
Offered content I hadnāt agreed to sell, including anal.
Resold a custom video that someone originally paid around $500 for, for approximately $60.
Sent duplicate PPV messages that upset some of my highest-spending subscribers.
DELETED EVERYTHING I HAD EVER POSTED IN THE PREVIOUS YEARS IVE BEEN ON OF!!!
Sent a mass message to ALL my fans that was literally written like I was a man. š
Posted blurry, low-quality content on my socials.
Posted a selfie with a caption basically calling my own posts stupid. My brand is very confident/self-assured, and I would NEVER talk about myself that way.
Had issues with invoicing/payment expectations and suddenly being pushed toward linking my bank account for ACH payments.
When I brought up my concerns, I was criticized for mentioning issues that had already been resolved, even though I was trying to explain the overall pattern.
Iāve also been discouraged from logging into my own OF account and told I should just focus on creating content.
And thatās not even everything. I just canāt think of it all bc Iām so upset about this latest post they made.
What really bothers me is that I feel like I canāt win. If I address things as they happen, Iām interfering. If I bring them up later, I shouldāve said something sooner. If I explain the history, Iām bringing up old problems.
Theyāre taking 50%, and I understand management comes with a learning curve, but I feel like Iām spending more time worrying about what theyāre doing than actually enjoying creating content.
Iām not naming the agency because Iām genuinely not trying to start drama. I just want some unbiased opinions from people who understand this industry.
Would you give them more time to get it together, or would you already be looking for the exit? And for anyone whoās worked with management, is this remotely normal?
