What to ask an agency:
Working conditions: Do they take over the account? How much do they pay? How much content is required? Do they handle payments? Is there feedback? And your personal questions.
Results of their work: Screenshots or screen recordings with statistics of their models.
Reviews: Ideally, reviews from real models who have worked with them.
Your outcome: How much and in what time frame will be earned?
These are the basics, and further inquiries depend on the situation.
Warning signs:
They don't provide statistics. They often claim it's confidential, and they don't disclose information about their models. Firstly, there is no model-specific information in statistics, and secondly, it's likely a scam .
They take away your access. In some cases, it might be to prevent models from trying to improve the page independently. If you've already started working and trust the team, let them work; they know what they're doing. If you haven't seen your page at all and learn about your earnings from a manager, run away immediately. You're paid a maximum of 10% of the income. Retrieving your page based on your documents takes 3-4 days.
Adequacy. In this case, you need to have at least a bit of understanding of people, but pay attention to:
Response speed. If they respond a day later, it's a reason to be concerned.
Communication style - when an agency writes to you with "bro, what's up?" "let's make a lot of money" "we have the same vibes," it's definitely a red flag .
Promising $100,000 on the first day of work or any unrealistic results is 99.9% likely a scam.
Demanding 1,472 photos and 2,515 videos in the first week should also raise concerns.
And, of course, you can ask how they will promote your page, where else your content will be used (e.g., Reddit, TikTok, Instagram, etc.). The agency may not disclose how they generate traffic, which is normal, but if your content is used on other platforms, you should be informed.
