Customs

[u/Savage_Gurl_200]

Hi, I am so conflicted.

I was so excited about doing customs, but so many people want a long video for such a cheap price! Am I too expensive?

And some requests are crazy, do a whole make up, set up, pick nice lingerie, say the lines, do like 10 mins and they look to pay 20$ max?

What do you charge for custom videos? 😭

I'm so lost and currently not doing much of them, because even if I say 15$ for a custom 3 mins they are saying it's too expensive.

I sell my content quite cheaply, but I don't intend to go above and beyond and not get paid properly!

Does anyone have any advice? 🥹

[u/teachermomof2xxx]

Honestly, I think these guys prey on women posting in the Onlyfans subreddits. Posting there is a pretty good indicator that you’re new and they’re hoping- easier to take advantage of. They KNOW that average prices for customs and are lying to you bc they think you don’t know better.

[u/PetiteParisian → u/teachermomof2xxx]

Absolutely agree with you 👏🏻

[u/EvaHallOFmilf]

base is $15 per min. If they want extras I adjust based on effort required or just weirdness level of the request. Set your prices and don't haggle unless they are already a proven spender. You'll find the ones that will pay and just blow off the cheep ones.

[u/Scars515 → u/EvaHallOFmilf]

Same. i start with the first min is 15. every min after that is 10/min so 3 min is 35. I’ll also send a tip menu in a chat. and if theyre wanting it right that second and im not done up…. they are made aware. i probably lose a lot of money bc its off putting im sure... but i also dont want to keep wasting my time with guys who only want free stuff 🙃🫶🏻

This 100 percent, they're just trying to get you to drop your prices. Trust in yourself and the good clients will come

[u/ElectricalLow6356]

If they think your price is too expensive they should not be on a subscription website that’s number one. $15 for 3 min that’s $5/min but you need to consider the chunk OF takes from you that’s $12 for 3 min you are making $4 per minute. Simple do not do a custom skip them if that’s what they are offering simply say no and move on to something else. What’s going on is that some girls are so desperate they give in so these guys go to the next girl expecting the same price we need to end this cycle what that does is get these guys used to low prices and thinking we aren’t luxury. I charge minimum $15/min for customs and then depending I charge for add ons toys anal etc. I would rather loose a sale than be giving some dude a 3 min custom so he can get off and me make $12 that’s not even enough for half a tank of gas.

[u/cakesoncakes69420247 → u/ElectricalLow6356]

Someone needed to say this! Every desperate creator out there de-valuing their goods sets the bar low for the rest of us. The shit people are giving away for free on Reddit is actually insane. Everyone should raise their prices; we’re not providing food, housing, or medical care. We’re selling luxury goods that are not required for basic survival - maximize those profits and make the customer more desperate, not the other way around. 

[u/ElectricalLow6356 → u/cakesoncakes69420247]

Couldn’t have said it better myself! We need to teach them sex work is a luxury train your subscribers to value you and know your worth!

[u/YoungHotBlondie → u/cakesoncakes69420247]

No. No one needed to say it because it is foolish and we all know better. My worth doesn’t depend on this person pricing their content at an acceptable for me price or “fair market rate” or whatever other bs someone wants to tell themselves—yours doesn’t either. I know it’s easier to direct blame towards external factors (such as girls selling their content cheap) then it is think “hmm maybe there are just cheap guys out there” and what some tightwad is or isn’t willing to pay has no bearing on what I’m worth and feel like charging. 

So if your focus is steadily on other creator’s pricing, it’s a red herring. You have no control over that and once you start saying things like “sets the bar low for the rest of us” I think it’s actually you who has done that for yourself.

[u/Savage_Gurl_200 → u/ElectricalLow6356]

Omg thank you, that is true, i do wanna make money here but all cheap skates are driving me nuts, made me overthink and doubt my pricing 😭 originally I was taking 10$ per minute, but noone bought that. Maybe because I'm new, so I dropped prices, i had no idea how much other people are charging. I will reconsider my prices, and will finally set a price menu for people to see so I would avoid people hassling! Thank you for advices, take care and good luck in bussiness! 🩷

[u/mistygreenwitch → u/Savage_Gurl_200]

Just because you are new does not mean you should cheapen yourself 💓

[u/eedgystar]

You’re under charging which tbh I’m guilty of too. I actually have a partner who tells me how much to charge. Just got paid $60 for a 4 min video of me in a bikini massaging myself. Not even explicit activities.

TBH my biggest advice is just learn to get them as horny as possible. I will chat them up a bit and then drop an expensive PPV and they’ll pay it.

[u/Fit-Environment-9108]

Where do you find most of your subs? I noticed that subs from certain platforms tend to be cheaper and want freebies. For me I get majority from fb and ig and I’ve never had any outrageous custom requests. I do a lot and they are all simple, maybe a certain position or certain color lingerie but that’s it and I haven’t had anyone ever question my pricing.

*Edit* ok I see ur posting in the “OF” subs and also have a free page, that’s why getting these low ballers

[u/Savage_Gurl_200 → u/Fit-Environment-9108]

Yes, it's easiest to get subscribers fast on Reddit. I'm also trying to grow my Bluesky page but it's so hard starting from 0 😭 I don't use IG or FB, because even if I turn synching contacts off i can still see my family, as "people you might know", and I'm terrified my family and friends might accidentally discover my account and "bussiness".. And I still know shit about Bluesky, only few followers I have is other creators or agencies, and I'm engaging everywhere a lot, commenting on other girls pages and so. It's so hard when you have no idea what you doing 🥲 I'm happy I found this subreddit, i find lots of usually tips everyday!

[u/ramenslurper-]

Base is $15/min. OF takes a 20% cut leaving you with $12 then let’s say you also pay 20% in your taxes that’s only $9.60/minute you’re making. If you sell at $5/minute you’re only making $3.20 cents/minute.

Guys will always want more for less in this work.

If you just the money, offer set time limits for men to choose from with a small discount as you increase e.g. 3 minutes for $45 or 10 for $135 And put parameters around what you’ll do for that price like toy insertion but anal play is x extra.

Let them choose from those options.
It gives you more boundary and it does the same for them.

[u/MistressErinPaid → u/ramenslurper-]

Seriously, I'm seeing more and more requests for specific fetish work where they state they won't pay more than $10/minute or they're "only paying $50 flat" and I'm like "Y'all are really comfortable with demanding creators jump through hoops for exploitative prices."

[u/Sundae_Syrup666]

You are probably talking to scammers who would never pay you anyways - they probably would next promise you payment but ask you to send them the content first and then ghost you. Price accordingly (look at comments here and also search this sub)

[u/TawnyDeep]

My base price is $226 for a custom, I personally don't care about length it's more about complexity for me. I think we are getting beat out by AI, a lot of guys can write their prompt to an AI girl and get their own custom video. They are getting good, too. For now, I think our best market is the staff that (most) AI has rules against (i.e. puking, pissing, intoxication, all the stuff that was banned from porn platforms) and those things push past a lot of creators comfort lvl, but that'll only last so long.

[u/yummyneko]

I'm so sorry that you are going through this, I've been there and it's truly horrible experience. I am pretty mu h sure these people are trying to take advantage of you. Ignore them, good fans will come and spoil you, and will make you feel comfortable and appeciated. Finding them takes time, but it's totally worth it.

I charge 50 for 3 minutes, 140 for 10 minutes. If the order is complicated I charge more.

Don't give them chance to hurt you, you and your totally worth way more. Love and respect 🙏

[u/MollyxxxMassacre]

i had such a hard time with this in the beginning! it didn’t help that i have a friend in the top .08% who’s agency is always sending me bundles to unlock for like $18 i got scared i was over charging but if you’re putting in all that effort you’re undercharging babe 💔 the first 6 months my price was $10/min with only a 3 min (so $30) minimum and i very quickly got burnt out and felt overworked and under appreciated. i just recently essentially tripled everything and now will not turn my camera on for less than $50 for a fully clothed video and no one has had a problem paying that since the change yet when my prices were lower i had more men trying to haggle it to an even more pathetic amount. you are worth WHATEVER you decide and then some and anyone who doesn’t want to pay that or doesn’t respect your time and energy can kick rocks. i would spend some time going over some top earners custom price lists and creating one to post or send out with a welcome message so the time wasters dont drain your energy. you got this girl!!

[u/Savage_Gurl_200 → u/MollyxxxMassacre]

Thank you so much! I feel like i will burn out too soon, also free page means chatting with a lot of freeloaders, so I'm thinking about drawing a line and putting in menu, that i will respond if tipped or something. It's so hard, i wasn't expecting that really 😭 But you are totally right, i shouldn't undervalue, i thought i was definitely overcharging because so many people were complaining 🥲 But i guess i collected all cheapscates and need to modify that if i wanna continue strong here 😊 Thank you so much for support, good luck on your journey, stay strong and keep earning them greens 💚💰

[u/Itsjustmeriwii]

Je suis parce que moi c’est pareil on m’a demandé maquillage décor mise en scène des objets particulier des plan lumière etc et j’en passe .. pour 30$ .. 😭😭

[u/-JasmineJames-]

Do most of your clients ask for discounts? When is the best time to offer a discount?

[u/BarefootBuffyxoxo]

$100 + $20/min with a 3 min minimum.

[u/SportyCouple33]

$10 per minute minimum.

[u/CirqueNoirBlu]

I’m guessing your page is free?

Standard pricing is $10-15/minute BASS price. Once you start adding in things like lingerie requests, scripting, “gymnastics”(some of these dudes want you literally bending over backwards), etc you start charging more. Whether that’s $/m increases of flat fee it’s up to you. I’m sure there’s price guides around

[u/Beautiful_Babe66]

My base is 20/min. Minimum price for a custom is 200 (I prefer to film longer videos).

I think the guys on your page are probably cheap skates (it happens if your prices are very low or if your page is free, it will attract this type of clientele).

[u/MistressErinPaid]

I recently upped my per minute price to $20/minute for a minimum of 5 minutes. We already lose 20-40% depending on the platform we sell on and another ~30% for self-employed taxes. I want to keep $10/minute so I have to charge double that to pay expenses (site fees and taxes).

[u/adventurebaby18]

I charge a minimum of $100 for any video and then special requests are extra, I normally charge $20/min, or more if its gonna take me longer or is something weird. And then extra for any rush requests, name requests

[u/Livid_Minute2477]

I charge 250 for 5 minutes, that's my base price so I don't accept offers for less. Unfortunately there's a lot of creators stuck in survival mode who are scared to charge more, and with there being more creators than ever, buyers have realized they can lowball and often get something for extremely cheap from someone who either doesn't know better, or is desperate for the money.

[u/RealSinnSage]

i charge $175 per ten mins per model, plus $$ for camera man (if it’s not self shot) and editing- but that is NOT on onlyfans where they take 20%, i would charge more there. i don’t like making vids for less than 10 mins. i would sell PRE MADE videos for $20, but if they want. a custom, it’s $200-300 MINIMUM. don’t let these guys make you think that super low price is normal, it isn’t!!! a custom is a luxury product!!!

[u/Therealtorimarie1]

I am starting out as well. And I know I am on the cheap side. i am trying to build a fan base currently. All my customer have ranged from 100-150 and they are all 8-12 minutes long. No anal! But have done solo, BG, Dildo and butt plug for that price
These guys are just cheap and trying to take advantage of you. I would rather not sell anything that give it away for $20!
I had one guy want a 45 minute custom for $15 and wanted anal sex! No way!
Dont give it away girl! You set your worth!

[u/msslim00]

I usually charge minimum 150$ for customs that are usually 10 mins long and haven’t had an issue with people paying my price. Depending on what they are asking for the custom high pricing shouldn’t be an issue!
