THE STRATEGY: IMPORT AUDIENCES, DON'T BUY THEM

OnlyFans reached 377M fans by recruiting creators through agencies and letting them bring their audiences. Superfans runs the same playbook for music, streaming and social: sign major artists and their agencies, and move their Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Twitch audiences to one place where fans can actually pay them.

1

Sign agencies, not individuals

Talent & OnlyFans-style agencies manage 10–200 creators each. One contract moves a whole roster.

2

Agency override

Agencies earn 5% of their roster's net platform revenue for 24 months (OnlyFans pays 5% for 12) + Agency Hub dashboards.

3

Anchor deal

Minimum guarantees + equity from a 10% artist pool, in exchange for a 72h exclusive window on drops and live.

4

Migration kit

Link-in-bio, story/reel templates, countdown drops and 1-tap follow import move audiences in days, not months.

5

Monetize day one

Subscriptions, PPV, live gifting, merch and tickets live at launch. Creators keep 80–85%.

6

Flywheel

Fans refer fans for rewards; rising creators follow the audience; anchors cross-promote in collabs.
