What to Outsource First
Chatting and DM Management
Subscriber messaging is typically the first task faceless creators should consider outsourcing. It is the most time-intensive daily activity, and it directly generates revenue through PPV sales, tips, and custom requests. A skilled chat manager can handle 50 to 100 active conversations simultaneously, maintaining your persona while driving sales in every interaction. The key requirement is that your chat manager fully understands your persona and can replicate your voice, tone, and communication style flawlessly. Any inconsistency breaks the illusion and damages subscriber trust.
Social Media Marketing
Posting to Reddit, X, and TikTok on a daily schedule is essential but repetitive. A social media manager can handle the scheduling, posting, and community engagement across all your traffic platforms while you focus on content creation. Provide them with a content calendar, a bank of pre-approved images and clips, and clear guidelines on your brand voice. They handle the distribution; you handle the production. Your Reddit strategy and TikTok strategy documents become their operating playbooks.
Content Editing
Photo editing, video editing, and content formatting are all tasks that can be outsourced to a skilled editor. Provide raw files, your editing style guide (colour grading preferences, cropping standards, watermark placement), and the editor returns finished content ready for posting. This is particularly valuable for faceless creators who produce video content, where editing can take longer than filming.
Admin and Scheduling
The less glamorous tasks are often the biggest time drains: scheduling posts across platforms, organising your content vault, managing your content calendar, tracking subscriber metrics, and handling administrative correspondence. A virtual assistant can manage all of this with basic training and clear systems. This frees you to spend your time on the two activities that only you can do: creating content and making strategic decisions about your business.
Hiring Safely as a Faceless Creator
Privacy is the non-negotiable requirement in every outsourcing decision. Every person you hire needs to operate within your anonymity framework without exception. Start by ensuring that no team member ever needs access to your real identity. Use your creator name in all communications. Set up dedicated email addresses and accounts for your business that are not connected to your personal information. Use secure messaging platforms for team communication rather than personal phone numbers or social media accounts.
Before hiring anyone, establish a clear NDA (non-disclosure agreement) that specifically covers your anonymity and the confidentiality of your business operations. This is not optional. Even if you trust someone personally, having a legal agreement in place protects you if the relationship ends badly. Our safety essentials guide covers the broader privacy framework that should be in place before you bring anyone onto your team.
Managing Your Team
Clear documentation is the foundation of effective outsourcing. Before handing off any task, create a written standard operating procedure (SOP) that explains exactly how you want it done. For chatting, this means a persona guide with example conversations, approved phrases, pricing for customs, and escalation rules for situations the chat manager cannot handle. For social media, this means a posting calendar, approved content bank, platform-specific formatting guidelines, and engagement rules.
Communication should be structured and regular. Set up a weekly check-in to review performance, discuss any issues, and provide feedback. Use task management tools to track what has been completed and what is pending. The more systems you build around your team, the less time you spend managing them and the more time you reclaim for content creation and strategy.
When Individual Hires vs Agency Management
Hiring individual freelancers works well when you need help with one or two specific tasks and have the time to manage those people yourself. If you need a chat manager and nothing else, hiring one freelancer is cost-effective and straightforward. If you need help with chatting, marketing, content editing, and strategy, managing four separate freelancers becomes a job in itself.
This is where full-service agency management becomes the more efficient option. Instead of recruiting, training, and managing multiple individuals, you work with a single team that handles everything. At Undefined Talent Management, we provide the entire operational backend for faceless creators: chatting, marketing across Reddit, X, and TikTok, content strategy, PPV optimisation, analytics, and brand development. Every team member is already trained in faceless creator operations, which eliminates the onboarding and training time you would spend with individual hires. For a full breakdown of what this looks like, see our guide on how OnlyFans management works.
Cost vs Return
Outsourcing costs money, and that makes some creators hesitant. The question to ask is not whether you can afford to outsource, but whether you can afford not to. Calculate the revenue you could generate if you spent two extra hours per day on content creation and strategic activities instead of admin, scheduling, and DM conversations. For most creators earning over $2K per month, the revenue gained from redirecting that time into high-value activities more than covers the cost of outsourcing the low-value tasks.
Start small. Outsource one task, measure the impact on your time and revenue over 30 days, and expand from there. The goal is not to outsource everything overnight. It is to systematically remove the tasks that consume your time without proportionally contributing to your revenue, and reinvest that time into the activities that drive the most growth.
