# How PalmLeaf Studios scaled a creator to $12k a month without building an outreach team. Bernd's Instagram outreach kept landing in the request folder creators never open, and the team of VAs he hired to fix it took months and cost a fortune. Outseeker replaced the whole operation, and within two months one new creator was doing $12k a month, without him working the outreach. Canonical: https://outseeker.net/case-studies/palmleaf-studios Source: Outseeker (outseeker.net) --- Outseeker took over PalmLeaf's creator outreach. Within two months, one new creator was doing $12k a month, with no VAs and almost no work from Bernd. ## He kept losing creators faster than he could replace them. Good creators go quiet, then leave. Revenue drops, and Bernd needs a new one on top of everything else he runs. He wanted new creators without making recruitment a second job. - **Setting a new standard** — One creator left after a year, and the work had never really been strong. Bernd wanted to rebuild PalmLeaf to a higher standard, which meant bringing in new models who actually deliver. - **No time for outreach** — His days went to Instagram Reel research, chatter reviews, and the rest of the day-to-day. Outreach was always the first thing to get pushed. - **A VA team is its own project** — Hiring it out meant writing a job post on DonutJobs, screening applicants, writing the SOPs, and onboarding the hire. About two weeks of setup before the first message, plus the early mistakes. ## Outreach handled for him, no team to build. Bernd didn't want a second business to run. He wanted new creators without doing the outreach himself. - **No VAs, ever** — Nothing to hire, train, or fix. Outseeker runs the full outreach on its own setup. - **It runs without him** — No daily outreach, no team to watch. It works in the background while Bernd runs the agency, and saved him hundreds of hours. - **Built around his creators** — Set up for the exact creators he wanted: English-speaking women who fit the gym look his agency sells. ## How Outseeker ran his outreach. No template and no team. We set Bernd up in minutes, ran the outreach to the creators he picked, and sent him every interested lead. He just kept running his agency. - **Set up in 15 minutes** — Accounts ready, logo and bio in place. Bernd was live in about 15 minutes. - **His creators, not a list** — English-speaking women who fit the gym look his agency sells. Bernd chose, we reached them. - **Runs without VAs** — Outreach, follow-ups, and qualification run on our infrastructure. No team for Bernd to build. ## Live in 15 minutes. Building a VA team took weeks. With Outseeker, Bernd was set up in about 15 minutes and the outreach ran without him. - **Get the accounts** — Bernd got his OnlyFans accounts right away. - **Add logo and bio** — He set his agency logo as the profile picture and banner, then wrote a short bio. Done in minutes. - **Pick the creators** — He told us who to contact: English-speaking women who fit the gym look. Then the outreach ran. - **Close the interested ones** — When a creator showed interest, Outseeker told Bernd automatically. All he had to do was close. ## One creator, $12k a month. The outreach produced without pulling Bernd away from his agency. - **Closed in the first month** — In month one, Outseeker put an interested creator in front of Bernd. He signed, without working the outreach. - **$12k a month in two months** — That creator scaled to $12k a month within two months. Easily more than Outseeker cost. - **Outreach that keeps running** — Bernd stayed focused on the agency while new-creator outreach kept going in the background. Bernd started with this creator at the end of February 2026. Two months later the same OnlyFans account crossed $12,000 a month, up from under $40 in January. ## In their words "I didn't want to spend months building and fixing another team just to keep creators coming in. Outseeker took the whole thing off my plate. I closed a creator in the first month and scaled him to 12k without working the outreach myself." — Bernd, Founder, PalmLeaf Studios --- _Source: [outseeker.net](https://outseeker.net/case-studies/palmleaf-studios) — machine-readable Markdown version of this page._
