  • Delivery format - Multiple content pieces delivered over time or all at once

Custom packages increase average order value. Offer packages to subscribers who want multiple custom pieces.

Pricing Custom Content Effectively

Pricing custom content requires balancing profitability with subscriber willingness to pay. Here's how to price effectively:

Pricing Factors to Consider

Consider these factors when pricing custom content:

  • Time investment - How long will it take to create? (Shooting, editing, delivery)
  • Effort required - How much effort is involved? (Complexity, props, setup)
  • Content exclusivity - Is this exclusive to subscriber or can you resell?
  • Your hourly rate goal - What hourly rate do you want to earn? (Calculate minimum price)
  • Market rates - What do similar creators charge for similar content?
  • Subscriber value - How much does this subscriber typically spend?
  • Content complexity - Simple requests vs. complex, detailed requests

Pricing Formula: Minimum price = (Time investment in hours × Desired hourly rate) + (Effort complexity factor) + (Exclusivity premium). Then adjust based on market rates and subscriber value.

Custom Photo Pricing

Price custom photos based on complexity:

  • Simple photos (1-5 photos) - $20-50 (quick shooting, minimal editing)
  • Standard photo set (5-10 photos) - $50-100 (moderate shooting, standard editing)
  • Premium photo set (10-20+ photos) - $100-200 (extensive shooting, professional editing)
  • Complex/themed photos - $100-300+ (costumes, props, complex setups)
  • Exclusive photos (one-time only) - Add 20-50% premium for exclusivity

Price based on time investment and complexity. Simple photos can be profitable at $30-50; complex sets should command $100-200+.

Custom Video Pricing

Price custom videos based on length and complexity:

  • Short videos (1-3 minutes) - $50-150 (quick filming, minimal editing)
  • Standard videos (3-10 minutes) - $100-300 (moderate filming, standard editing)
  • Long videos (10-20+ minutes) - $200-500+ (extensive filming, professional editing)
  • Complex/themed videos - $300-1000+ (costumes, props, scripts, complex setups)
  • Exclusive videos (one-time only) - Add 30-50% premium for exclusivity

Video pricing should account for time investment. If a 10-minute video takes 2 hours to create and edit, charge at least $200+ to achieve $100/hour rate (adjust based on your goals).

Pricing Strategies

Use pricing strategies to maximize revenue:

  • Tiered pricing - Offer multiple price tiers (basic, standard, premium) to capture different price points
  • Bundling discounts - Offer discounts for multiple custom orders (e.g., "Buy 3 customs, get 10% off")
  • VIP subscriber pricing - Offer slightly lower prices to high-value subscribers (builds loyalty)
  • Urgency pricing - Charge premium for rush orders (24-48 hour turnaround)
  • Complexity add-ons - Charge extra for specific requests (outfits, props, specific themes)

Pricing strategies help you maximize revenue while accommodating different subscriber budgets. Test different strategies to see what works.

Managing Custom Content Requests

Managing custom requests efficiently is essential for profitability. Here's how to manage effectively:

Request Intake Process

Create clear process for accepting custom requests:

  • Require detailed requests - Ask subscribers for specific details (length, content, outfits, themes, etc.)
  • Clarify boundaries upfront - Clearly state what you will and won't create
  • Provide pricing upfront - Quote price before accepting order
  • Require payment upfront - Collect payment before creating content
  • Set delivery timeline - Communicate expected delivery time (e.g., "5-7 business days")
  • Confirm order details - Confirm all details before starting to avoid misunderstandings

Request Template: "I'd love to create custom content for you! Please share: 1) Type (photos/video/audio), 2) Length or number of pieces, 3) Specific content details, 4) Any special requests. Once I have details, I'll provide pricing and timeline."

Organizing Custom Orders

Organize orders to manage efficiently:

  • Use tracking system - Spreadsheet, app, or system to track orders, status, deadlines
  • Prioritize by deadline - Organize orders by delivery date to meet deadlines
  • Batch similar requests - Group similar custom requests to shoot together efficiently
  • Track order details - Store subscriber details, request specifics, payment status, delivery status
  • Set order limits - Limit number of pending orders to avoid overwhelm

Organization prevents missed deadlines and lost orders. Use simple systems (spreadsheet) or apps to track custom orders.

Delivery and Follow-Up

Deliver custom content professionally:

  • Deliver on time - Meet delivery deadlines to build trust and avoid refund requests
  • Deliver high quality - Ensure custom content meets quality standards
  • Confirm delivery - Confirm subscriber received content
  • Request feedback - Ask if subscriber is satisfied (builds relationships)
  • Offer repeat business - Encourage future custom orders if satisfied

Professional delivery builds trust and encourages repeat orders. Satisfied custom content customers often order multiple times.

Setting Boundaries for Custom Content

Clear boundaries protect your wellbeing and maximize profitability. Here's how to set them:

Content Boundaries

Define what custom content you will and won't create:

  • List acceptable content types - Clearly state what you're comfortable creating
  • Define hard limits - Clearly state what you won't create (specific acts, themes, etc.)
  • Boundary enforcement - Politely decline requests outside boundaries
  • Update boundaries as needed - Boundaries can evolve, but communicate changes
  • Stick to boundaries consistently - Don't make exceptions that undermine boundaries

Clear content boundaries prevent uncomfortable situations and ensure you only create content you're comfortable with. Subscribers respect creators with clear boundaries.

Time and Availability Boundaries

Set boundaries around custom content availability:

  • Limit custom orders per week - Set maximum number of custom orders you'll accept per week
  • Set delivery timelines - Establish standard delivery times (e.g., "5-7 business days")
  • Rush order policies - Define if you accept rush orders and premium pricing for rush
  • Holiday and break policies - Communicate when you won't accept custom orders (holidays, breaks)
  • Order queue management - Limit pending orders to avoid overwhelm

Time boundaries prevent overwhelm and ensure you can deliver quality custom content on time. Set limits that protect your wellbeing.

Communication Boundaries

Set boundaries around custom content communication:

  • Request submission process - Define how subscribers should submit custom requests
  • Revision policies - Define if you offer revisions and under what circumstances
  • Communication channels - Keep custom content communication on OnlyFans (not personal platforms)
  • Response time expectations - Let subscribers know when you'll respond to custom requests
  • Refund policies - Clearly state refund policies upfront

Communication boundaries prevent misunderstandings and protect your time. Clear policies reduce conflicts and disputes.

Creating High-Quality Custom Content

Quality custom content delights subscribers and encourages repeat orders. Here's how to create quality content:

Meeting Subscriber Expectations

Ensure custom content meets subscriber expectations:

  • Follow request details carefully - Create content that matches subscriber specifications
  • Confirm details before creating - Verify all details to avoid misunderstandings
  • Ask clarifying questions - If request is unclear, ask questions before creating
  • Deliver what was promised - Ensure delivered content matches what was agreed
  • Maintain quality standards - Don't rush custom content; maintain quality

Meeting expectations builds trust and encourages repeat orders. Disappointed customers don't order again.

Adding Value Beyond Expectations

Exceed expectations to delight subscribers:

  • Add bonus content - Include extra photos, extended video length, or bonus content
  • Personal touches - Add personal touches that make content feel special
  • High-quality editing - Edit custom content professionally to exceed quality expectations
  • Quick delivery - Deliver earlier than promised when possible (delights subscribers)
  • Personal messages - Include personal message with custom content delivery

Exceeding expectations creates delighted customers who order repeatedly and recommend you to others.

Efficiency in Content Creation

Create custom content efficiently to maximize profitability:

  • Batch similar requests - Shoot similar custom requests together to save time
  • Standardize processes - Use consistent processes for shooting and editing
  • Use templates - Create templates for common custom content types
  • Invest in equipment - Good equipment (lighting, camera) increases efficiency
  • Streamline editing - Use efficient editing workflows and tools

Efficiency increases profitability. If you can create custom content in half the time, you double your effective hourly rate.

Maximizing Revenue from Custom Content

Maximizing custom content revenue requires strategy. Here's how to do it:

Upselling and Cross-Selling

Increase revenue per custom order:

  • Offer add-ons - Offer additional content (extra photos, extended video length) for extra cost
  • Suggest related customs - Suggest related custom content when delivering orders
  • Package deals - Offer discounts for multiple custom orders (increases average order value)
  • Premium options - Offer premium tiers (exclusive, rush delivery, etc.) for higher prices
  • Follow-up offers - Follow up with subscribers who ordered custom content to offer additional orders

Upselling increases revenue per order. Even small add-ons ($10-20) add up significantly over time.

Building Repeat Business

Encourage subscribers to order custom content repeatedly:

  • Delight with quality - Exceed expectations to encourage repeat orders
  • Offer loyalty discounts - Offer discounts to repeat custom content customers
  • Remember preferences - Remember subscriber preferences for future orders
  • Follow up after delivery - Check in after delivery to build relationships
  • Offer subscription custom packages - Offer monthly custom content packages for recurring revenue

Repeat customers are more profitable than one-time customers. Focus on building relationships that drive repeat orders.

Pricing Optimization

Optimize pricing to maximize revenue:

  • Test different prices - Test pricing to find optimal price points
  • Adjust based on demand - Increase prices if demand is high, decrease if low (but don't undervalue)
  • Segment pricing - Offer different prices for different subscriber types (VIP vs. regular)
  • Time-based pricing - Adjust pricing based on your availability and demand
  • Review pricing regularly - Review and adjust pricing quarterly based on results

Pricing optimization increases revenue over time. Test and adjust to find pricing that maximizes revenue without reducing demand too much.

Common Custom Content Mistakes to Avoid

Many creators make these custom content mistakes. Avoid them to maximize profitability:

Mistake 1: Underpricing Custom Content

The Problem: Pricing custom content too low, not accounting for time investment and effort.

Why It Hurts: Low pricing makes custom content unprofitable. If a custom video takes 3 hours and you charge $50, you're earning $16/hour—not sustainable.

The Fix: Calculate minimum price based on time investment and desired hourly rate. Price custom content to be profitable. Don't undervalue your time and effort. Test higher prices—you may find subscribers are willing to pay more than you think.

Mistake 2: Accepting Orders Without Payment

The Problem: Creating custom content before receiving payment, then subscriber doesn't pay.

Why It Hurts: You've invested time creating content that isn't paid for. This wastes time and reduces profitability.

The Fix: Always require payment upfront before creating custom content. Use OnlyFans PPV system or require tip before starting. Never create custom content without payment in advance.

Mistake 3: Not Setting Clear Boundaries

The Problem: Not clearly defining what custom content you will and won't create, leading to uncomfortable requests.

Why It Hurts: Unclear boundaries lead to uncomfortable situations, difficult conversations, and boundary violations. This damages your wellbeing.

The Fix: Clearly define and communicate boundaries upfront. List acceptable and unacceptable content types. Politely decline requests outside boundaries. Update boundaries as needed, but enforce them consistently.

Mistake 4: Overpromising and Underdelivering

The Problem: Promising unrealistic delivery times or content quality, then failing to deliver.

Why It Hurts: Failing to meet promises damages trust and leads to refund requests, complaints, and lost customers.

The Fix: Set realistic delivery timelines and quality standards. Under-promise and over-deliver. If you can deliver in 3 days, promise 5-7 days. If you can't meet deadline, communicate early and adjust expectations.

Mistake 5: Not Organizing Orders

The Problem: Not tracking custom orders, leading to missed deadlines, lost orders, and confusion.

Why It Hurts: Poor organization leads to missed deadlines, lost orders, and dissatisfied customers. This damages reputation and reduces revenue.

The Fix: Use tracking system (spreadsheet, app, etc.) to organize custom orders. Track order details, deadlines, payment status, and delivery status. Review orders regularly to ensure nothing is missed.

Mistake 6: Creating Custom Content Without Boundaries

The Problem: Accepting any custom request without limits, leading to overwhelming workload.

Why It Hurts: Unlimited custom orders lead to overwhelm, burnout, and decreased quality. This damages your business and wellbeing.

The Fix: Set limits on custom orders per week/month. Limit pending orders to manageable number. Prioritize high-value orders. Say no when at capacity. Boundaries protect your wellbeing and ensure quality delivery.

Scaling Custom Content Business

As you grow, scaling custom content requires different strategies. Here's how to scale effectively:

Increasing Efficiency

Increase efficiency to handle more orders:

  • Standardize processes - Create consistent processes for shooting, editing, delivery
  • Batch similar requests - Group similar custom requests to shoot together
  • Invest in equipment - Better equipment (lighting, camera, editing software) increases efficiency
  • Improve editing workflow - Streamline editing to reduce time per order
  • Use templates and presets - Use templates for common custom content types

Efficiency allows you to handle more orders without increasing hours worked. Focus on efficiency before scaling volume.

Raising Prices Strategically

Raise prices as demand increases:

  • Increase prices when demand is high - If you have order backlog, increase prices
  • Raise prices gradually - Increase prices gradually (10-20% at a time) rather than doubling
  • Communicate price changes - Let subscribers know about price changes (don't surprise them)
  • Grandfather existing customers - Consider grandfathering regular customers at old prices
  • Test price increases - Test price increases with new orders before applying broadly

Strategic price increases increase revenue per order. As demand grows, raise prices to maximize revenue while managing workload.

Prioritizing High-Value Orders

Prioritize orders that drive most revenue:

  • Focus on high-value subscribers - Prioritize custom orders from high-spending subscribers
  • Prioritize profitable orders - Focus on orders with best time-to-revenue ratio
  • Limit low-value orders - Consider minimum order size to avoid low-profit orders
  • Offer premium tiers - Create premium tiers for faster delivery or priority service

Prioritizing high-value orders maximizes revenue. Not all custom orders are equally profitable—focus on most profitable ones.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much should I charge for custom OnlyFans content?

Custom content pricing varies by type: custom photos typically $20-200 (depending on number and complexity), custom videos typically $50-500+ (depending on length and complexity), custom audio typically $20-100, custom messages typically $10-50. However, price based on your time investment and desired hourly rate. Calculate minimum: (Time in hours × Desired hourly rate) + (Effort factor) + (Exclusivity premium). Then test different prices to find optimal pricing for your audience. Don't undervalue your time—custom content should be profitable.

Should I require payment upfront for custom content?

Yes, always require payment upfront before creating custom content. This protects you from creating unpaid content. Use OnlyFans PPV system: create PPV message for custom content price, subscriber pays, then you create content. Alternatively, require tip upfront before starting. Never create custom content without payment in advance—you risk not being paid. Clear upfront payment policy prevents disputes and protects your time investment.

How do I handle custom content requests that are outside my boundaries?

Politely decline requests outside boundaries: thank subscriber for interest, clearly state that the request is outside your boundaries, offer alternative if possible (similar but acceptable content), and maintain professionalism. Example: "Thank you for your interest! That specific request is outside my boundaries, but I'd be happy to create [alternative] instead." Subscribers respect creators with clear boundaries. Don't apologize excessively or feel guilty—boundaries are healthy and necessary. Enforce boundaries consistently to avoid confusion.

How long should custom content take to deliver?

Delivery timelines vary by content type: custom photos typically 3-7 business days, custom videos typically 5-10 business days (longer for complex videos), custom audio typically 2-5 business days, and custom messages typically 1-3 business days. However, set timelines based on your workload and capacity. It's better to promise longer timeline and deliver early than promise short timeline and deliver late. Communicate delivery timelines upfront and update subscribers if delays occur. Consistent on-time delivery builds trust.

Can I resell custom content to other subscribers?

This depends on exclusivity agreement with original subscriber. If custom content is exclusive (subscriber paid premium for exclusivity), you shouldn't resell it. If not exclusive, you may be able to resell, but: clearly communicate exclusivity terms upfront, charge premium for exclusive custom content (subscriber pays more for exclusivity), and respect exclusivity agreements if made. Many creators offer both exclusive and non-exclusive custom content at different prices. Exclusive custom content commands premium prices but can't be resold. Non-exclusive allows reselling but typically lower prices.

How do I manage multiple custom content orders?

Manage multiple orders by: using tracking system (spreadsheet, app, etc.) to track all orders, organizing by deadline to prioritize urgent orders, batching similar requests to shoot together efficiently, setting order limits to avoid overwhelm (e.g., max 5-10 pending orders), communicating clearly with subscribers about delivery timelines, and reviewing orders regularly to ensure nothing is missed. Organization is essential for managing multiple custom orders. Simple systems (spreadsheet) work well—track order details, deadlines, payment status, and delivery status. Review orders weekly to stay on top of pending orders.

Should I offer revisions on custom content?

This is your choice. Many creators don't offer revisions (subscribers receive what they requested), some offer limited revisions (e.g., 1 revision if content doesn't match request), and others charge extra for revisions. If offering revisions: clearly define revision policy upfront, set limits on revisions (e.g., 1 free revision, then paid), clarify what qualifies for revision (content doesn't match request vs. subscriber changed mind), and charge for revisions that go beyond original request. Most successful creators don't offer free revisions—custom content is created to specifications, and changes require new order. However, if content genuinely doesn't match request due to your error, consider offering revision to maintain trust.

How do I price custom content for different subscriber types?

Consider segmenting pricing by subscriber value: offer standard pricing for regular subscribers, offer slightly lower pricing (5-10% discount) for high-value/VIP subscribers as loyalty reward, offer premium pricing for rush orders or complex requests, and consider minimum order size for low-value subscribers. However, don't undervalue custom content even for VIP subscribers—still price profitably. Many creators use standard pricing for all subscribers but offer faster delivery or priority service to VIP subscribers instead of lower prices. Test different approaches to see what works.

What if a subscriber is unhappy with custom content?

Handle unhappy customers professionally: listen to their concerns, assess if complaint is valid (content doesn't match request vs. subscriber changed mind), offer solution if valid (revision if content genuinely doesn't match request, partial refund if appropriate), maintain boundaries (don't give in to unreasonable requests), and learn from feedback to improve future orders. Most unhappy customers can be satisfied with professional response. However, some complaints are unreasonable—maintain boundaries. If content matches request and subscriber is unhappy for other reasons, you may not need to offer refund. Document agreements to avoid disputes.

How much of my revenue should come from custom content?

Custom content revenue varies by creator: some creators earn 20-30% from custom content, others earn 50%+, and it depends on how much you promote custom content and subscriber base. There's no "right" percentage—focus on maximizing revenue overall. However, custom content is often one of most profitable revenue streams due to high profit margins. Consider increasing custom content revenue if: you have time capacity, subscribers are requesting custom content, and it's profitable. Many successful creators gradually increase custom content revenue as they grow. Focus on what's profitable and sustainable for you.
