WIA Profile: Taylor Moore

With a 70-person team and a growing slate of tools for content creators, the Teasy Agency has developed a reputation for putting talent first. That commitment owes a lot to co-founder Taylor Moore’s own experiences as a cam model.

Back in 2015, Moore was working at a car dealership, struggling to make ends meet.

We’ve built a support system for the creators that we work with. Not only for content creation, but pretty much anything that they need — if we can help them with it, we happily will. And if we can’t, we figure out a way to.

“I was barely able to pay all my bills and feed myself every month,” she recalls. “My roommate was camming and she was like, ‘I make an extra $200 a month.’ I thought, ‘Oh my God, that’ll put gas in my car so I can go to work, and I’ll be able to buy groceries.’”

Unfortunately, it wasn’t that simple. 

“When I started camming, I made no money for about the first year,” Moore admits. “I didn’t know what I was doing — but I kept showing up, six days a week, hoping that one day it would pay off.”

The turning point came without warning. Moore lost her job and suddenly found herself camming full-time. Shifting into emergency mode, she answered a Craigslist ad and landed an overnight position at Flirt4Free as model broadcast support. 

“They didn’t know that I was a cam girl,” she says with a laugh. “I felt like a superspy.” 

She would work through the night helping other performers keep their streams running, drag herself home, sleep for a few hours, then cam for six more. Her schedule was relentless — but that’s when things finally clicked and she started making more money on cam.

That rhythm — take the hit, get back up, solve the problem yourself — is still how she operates.

“I’m just super persistent,” Moore says. “I’m ride-or-die with everything I do. I knew it was going to lead me to better places. In my soul I was like, ‘I just need to keep showing up.’”

Traffic Jam

Over the next several years, Moore did more than show up. She cammed. She sold clips. She got big on ManyVids. She moved to Las Vegas and shot studio porn for a while, then realized it wasn’t her lane and went back to independent content creation. She built fan communities, ran her own platforms and learned traffic mechanics.

“I’ve done everything in the adult industry,” she attests. 

She also learned exactly how challenging the work can be. At one point, Moore says, she was running “40 different TikTok accounts” and constantly making content just to drive traffic. 

In 2022, OnlyFans launched its livestreaming platform, and Moore jumped back in.

“That revived my love for camming,” she says. “With the livestreaming, I was making more money than I ever had on OnlyFans.” 

Even with that win, though, she found herself hitting a wall. She still needed more traffic.

“Every time I would get on, I was on for like five hours,” she recalls. “I was exhausted.” 

‘What if…’

It was that feeling of burnout that finally pushed Moore from tired talent to “I’m going to build the thing I wish existed.”

She’d met her friend Alex in 2018, when, as she puts it, “this random account on ManyVids” messaged her about running premium Snapchat. 

“I was like, ‘This has to be a scam,’” she says flatly. 

It wasn’t. Moore and Alex ended up working together for the next few years. By late 2022, however, premium Snap was basically over. When Moore hit Alex up again, her plan was just to buy SEO promo from him. Instead, he asked her what she thought about OnlyFans agencies. 

Her honest answer: “Not great.”

“I’d started looking into agencies loosely to see what was out there,” she says. “What I found was that there were a lot of non-industry crypto bros. As a content creator, I’m thinking: ‘How is someone who has never run an OnlyFans page before, and doesn’t really know anything about the adult industry, going to manage my page better than I can?”

Then came the pivot: Alex asked her, “What if we created our own OnlyFans agency?” 

At first, Moore thought the idea was crazy — but the more she thought about it, the more it grew on her. 

“I said to myself, ‘Alex has the adult marketing side; I have the content creator and performer side,’” she remembers. “‘We are the perfect yin and yang.’ On that day, Teasy was born.”

For Creators, By Creators

Moore believes that creators deserve safety, transparency, respect, and traffic. Her goal is to get them in front of paying eyes — so they don’t have to hold down five jobs just to survive. 

She is very aware of how different that feels to models who have only dealt with borderline predatory “management.”

“A lot of these guys just come in and want to take as much from the creator as they can,” she says. “When people think of Teasy, I want them to think we did a really good job for them.”

For Moore, that means going above and beyond when necessary.

“If there’s an issue with a model at 2 o’clock in the morning, you’ve got to pick up the phone,” she says. “If there’s a 911 emergency, no matter where you are — on a trip, enjoying time with family — it really requires being ‘on’ all the time.”

She doesn’t sugarcoat that part; she just believes it’s worth it. 

“I’m a workaholic anyway,” she laughs. “But also, I really find such fulfillment in what I’m doing. We’ve built a support system for the creators that we work with. Not only for content creation, but pretty much anything that they need — if we can help them with it, we happily will. And if we can’t, we figure out a way to.”

That “can do” attitude, plus a healthy dose of startup energy, defines Moore’s partnership with Alex. 


“With us, it’s just pure grit to get everything going,” she affirms. “I couldn’t do this without him and I don’t think that he could do this without me.”

Helping to build that culture is the rest of the Teasy team, which has grown exponentially in just a couple of years. For Moore, that brings added responsibility.

“What really motivates me to show up and do my best every day is thinking of everyone on our amazing team and how this is their livelihood,” she says. “I want more than anything to keep Teasy growing for them.”

Playing Matchmaker

After Teasy sponsored XBIZ Amsterdam in 2024, Moore and Alex sat on a rooftop balcony reflecting on how the conference had gone, and sketching out new ideas based on what they had learned there. 

“We were just going over the amazing time we had and thinking of ways that we could improve Teasy and give more back to the industry that had given us so much,” Moore says. 

They kept coming back to one particular concern that they kept hearing again and again from creators.

“It is hard to find collabs that are safe and legitimate,” Moore says. “Especially if you don’t live in one of the three main hubs in the U.S. As a creator, a lot of times I’d get hit up by people on Twitter saying, ‘Hey, let’s collab.’ But you don’t know if it’s legit, or if there’s really a management company behind them trying to recruit you.”

The duo brainstormed a few ideas, ultimately drawing out on a piece of paper what would eventually become WannaCollab? — a free platform that facilitates networking between creators, photographers, videographers and producers.

“Every user goes through a verification process with ID and face scan, and then the team manually reviews every profile to make sure they match their socials and have some established presence in the industry,” she explains. 

If a new creator isn’t quite there yet, they’re invited to build their presence and reapply. 

“We just want to make sure that everybody’s legit,” Moore says. “So when they go to a collab together, everybody’s safe.”

Leap of Faith

“In the beginning of Teasy, I was so incredibly scared to make the transition into a startup that had every chance of failure,” Moore admits. “But I knew that I had a lot to contribute and bring to the table. I am so happy I made that decision.”

The experience also strengthened her resolve to pay attention when other creators reach out, wanting to cross over from shooting to the business side — operations, marketing, support, product. 

“Content creators have so many strengths and so much good hands-on experience that is valuable to so many different facets of this industry,” she affirms. “The creators are down in the trenches doing God’s work, really. Never doubt yourself or your abilities.”

Moore’s vision for 2026 is not timid. She says her goal is refining and optimizing to provide an even better product for the content creators Teasy works with.

“I’d love to see WannaCollab? really start to take off in 2026,” she says. “We also have a few secret projects in store as well. Overall, I always just want to be better tomorrow than we were today. I want to keep this train going down the tracks. 

“I love the idea that what we do can make other women in the industry rich,” she smiles. “That’s my goal.”
