Bellas OF Agency: Steven and Max Gagetti profiting off OnlyFans management business

A couple of cousins, barely old enough to have an OnlyFans account, are collecting big bucks managing models on the popular platform promoting X-rated content. Find out how they make their cash.

Max and Stephen Gagetti created 'Bellas OF Agency' about six months ago to manage OnlyFans models.

A former law student and a camping gear salesman have packed it in to kick start an unusual money-making venture profiting from the work of OnlyFans models by managing, promoting and messaging “lonely and depressed” patrons.

Cousins Stephen and Max Gagetti, 18 and 21 from Batemans Bay and Brisbane respectively, launched ‘Bellas OF Agency’ six months ago and have garnered a clientele of six which includes OnlyFans models from across Australia as well as one from overseas.

The self-described businessmen run accounts for the models – who produce risque and pornographic content – and inform them on when and what they should post.

One of the services they offer is “chatters” with the pair – along with three new employees – interacting with paying subscribers who believe they are speaking directly with the models.

“Aww I am sure I don’t make you feel as special as you make me feel,” the chatter said in one message to a subscriber, who then followed up with a $100 tip. “You make me feel like a queen!”

Max, who was working at BCF before opting for a career change, distanced their doings from the work of controversial figure Andrew Tate who ran an online webcam modelling agency which he later described as a “total scam”.

“A lot of people hear about what we do and they’re kind of put off because it reminds them of Andrew Tate,” Max said.

“We’re not Andrew Tate, we’re not pimps. We’re just businessmen with good intentions trying to run a business.

“Models are often inclined to have us manage them because we advertise their profiles which then gives them more subscribers and in turn, more money.”

To profit, the cousins will take 60 per cent of total earnings from their models, with 20 per cent of the profits taken going back into the marketing budget.

The cousins maintain the chatting is not “devious”, rather it’s a way to create a better connection between the subscribers and models.

“We were concerned about coming across as if we’re trying to scam people when we started chatting, because [subscribers] assume they’re talking to the models,” Stephen said.

“But we looked at all these other accounts and a lot of them do the exact same thing.”

The Gagetti cousins said while their messages to subscribers were still erotic, they also created an emotional connection.

“Other accounts just send spam messages like ‘I love you daddy, I love you, send me money’, but we ask how their day is going, what they’re up to, that kind of thing,” Max said.

While both the “businessmen” chat to subscribers, they only do so for their larger accounts with followers in the hundreds.

The cousins will outsource for their smaller accounts, currently having three full-time ‘chatters’ at their business.

“A lot of these people you’re talking to are lonely and depressed and they’re just glad they have a girl who’s 18, 20 talking to them,” Max said.

“We ask them how they’re going, remember their birthday, it’s almost like counselling for them.”

With the agency now having six models under their belt in only six months, the cousins plan to continue growing the business moving forward.

“We’re going to keep growing with more high quality models and hope to one day, be managing hundreds,” Stephen said.

“We just want to keep growing into an established agency and keep making us and these OnlyFans models money.”
