Let’s face it, the “how much?” question is coming whether you’re ready or not. And if your answer is buried three scrolls deep or changes depending on your mood, it’s time to get ahead of it. Setting clear prices for customs isn’t just good business, it saves your sanity. No more guessing games, awkward replies, or lowball offers sliding into your DMs at midnight.
Being clear about your prices helps weed out the window-shoppers and saves you from back-and-forth haggling. You’re running a business, not hosting a negotiation table. Here’s how to share your rates with confidence, clarity, and just enough flirt to keep it fun.
Put Your Menu Somewhere Obvious
Whether it’s a pinned post, a highlight, a welcome message, or a link to a Google Form, fans should never have to go on a scavenger hunt to figure out what you offer. Make sure it’s visible, easy to understand, and sounds like you. Include prices, turnaround times, and boundaries like “no face, no names, no taboo,” or whatever applies to your style.
Use Language That Feels Like You
Avoid sounding like a corporate invoice. Instead of “Custom striptease: $50,” try “A custom 2-minute strip just for you in your favorite outfit? $50 and I’m all yours.” It keeps things playful while still being direct.
Preempt the Haggling
Have you ever had a fan come into your DMs and ask about your custom prices, then immediately try to haggle like they’re at a flea market? It’s the worst. Prevent that by setting clear expectations. You can write something like “Customs start at $50 and are priced based on detail and length. I don’t negotiate, but I promise it’s worth it.”
Use Auto-Replies and Mass Messages
Platforms with autoresponders or mass messaging are your best friend here. You can set up something like:
“Hey babe, custom videos start at $50 and come with a free teaser photo. Let me know what you’re thinking and I’ll send a quote.”
This saves you time and filters out fans who aren’t ready to spend.
Give Examples, Not Just Prices
If a fan doesn’t understand what they’re paying for, they’re less likely to bite. Instead of just tossing out a dollar amount, give a clear picture. “$75 gets you a 3-minute JOI clip with dirty talk in my latex outfit. Delivered in 48 hours.”
Different Price Points for Different Levels
You can absolutely offer multiple custom tiers. Want to save a little time and make a little extra?
Charge more for personalized customs that use their name or specific script. Anything that creates more work for you or lowers your ability to resell: charge more!
Offer a discounted rate for non-personalized customs that you can repurpose later as PPV. (Just make sure the niche is something you have enough fans for. That super hyper-specific balloon inflation video might not work as a PPV if only one person’s into it.)
Stay Firm, Stay Kind
You don’t have to be rude, but you do have to protect your energy. A fan who won’t respect your prices likely won’t respect other boundaries either. Your customs take effort, time, and talent.
You’re not being difficult by having a price list. You’re making it easier for fans to know what’s available and how to support you. Clear pricing means fewer awkward convos and more time for the fun stuff. Keep it flirty, keep it clear, and don’t be afraid to stand by what your time is worth.
Don’t Forget
This is your business. You should treat it like such! Don’t take it personal when a fan questions your rates–if they’re cheap, they can shop elsewhere. If they’re curious how you got to those prices: explain… for a tip. If they want to talk endlessly about the details: get a deposit. If they want to pay on delivery: absolutely not.
