Today we’d like to introduce you to Pavel Shmelov, Co-founder and Co-owner of Forbidden Fruit, an OnlyFans management company based in Miami, Florida.
Hi Pavel, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
Thanks for having me! Our agency works with driven creators to achieve or sustain the highly coveted top percentile. My business partner Elijah Nichols Floyd, and I, are both from Wisconsin and moved to Miami several years ago to pursue our entrepreneurial dreams. We’ve built Forbidden Fruit up to a team of dedicated marketers and professional photographers to ensure that accounts reach record high levels of revenue for our models. We saw a gap in the market since many agency owners don’t have the marketing, content creation expertise, and level of professionalism that we do. Miami is a great city to network and build a company because of the access to the incredible talent we have. We both come from a marketing background, having worked for campaigns on Facebook, Sony, Chevy, and more. Our prompt communication, professionalism, and staying up to date with trends separates us from the other agencies who don’t provide the full-service level of management.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
The biggest challenge in this business is the ever evolving trends and staying up to date on each of the social media platforms while not violating the terms. Luckily, our team comes with experience working in agencies prior so we are familiar with how to best operate and overcome any new hurdles the platforms provide. The other challenge is managing expectations with new models. We are growing each model so they can be successful as not only an OnlyFans creator but as an influencer with a large brand that can be leveraged.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
We guide OnlyFans models through the process of growing their OnlyFans and manage content direction, post scheduling, promotion, and provide a network of resources to ensure that their account flourishes. Our Forbidden Fruit team is made up of professional Photographers and Video Producers that shoot high quality content, portraits, and video clips to use across platforms and help elevate the model’s brand for premium subscribers. Our team handles chatting for our models so the most tedious and time consuming part of an OnlyFans creator is off of their shoulders, and they can just focus on the fun part of the business which is creating content. Our job is to provide support in all forms so our models can focus on delivering the absolute best available entertainment and content their fans can buy. We help them along the way guiding their brand and finding new avenues of monetization. Every top earner knows that the only way to actual growth is in the power of numbers. We take the pressure of social media & brand management, customer engagement, and marketing off of the talent so they can focus on what matters most.
Any big plans?
We are looking to sign more motivated models since we are growing and expanding. Our goal is to continue working with top influencers with their own unique voice and style. Models can handle parts of their business themselves but if they are really looking to grow and increase their revenue, it’s impossible to be a top creator without an experienced team like ours at Forbidden Fruit Management.
