How to Price Custom Videos and Girlfriend Experiences (GFE)
Stop undercharging. A complete breakdown of how to price custom content, fetishes, and daily GFE packages.
The Base Rate for Custom Videos
The industry standard base rate for a standard solo custom video is $10 per minute, with a 3-minute minimum ($30). This is for basic requests (e.g., masturbation, striptease, saying a specific name). Never sell 1-minute customs; the time spent reading the request, setting up the camera, and uploading is not worth $10.
The 'Kink Tax' and Add-Ons
The $10/minute rate is only the baseline. You must charge extra for specific add-ons. Examples of standard add-ons: Specific outfits/lingerie (+$15), messy play/liquids (+$30), extreme fetishes/feet/BDSM (+$50 or double the base rate), and fast turnaround time under 24 hours (+$50 rush fee). Create a visual menu showing your base rate and all possible add-ons so buyers understand the final quote.
Pricing the Girlfriend Experience (GFE)
A true GFE involves emotional labor, Good Morning/Goodnight texts, SFW and NSFW photos throughout the day, and dedicated chatting time. Do not sell this cheaply. A basic text-only GFE should start at $50-$75 per day. A premium GFE (including voice notes, short video updates, and explicit evening chatting) should command $150-$250+ per day. Always take payment upfront.
Managing Custom Rights
When a fan buys a custom, they are buying the video, NOT the exclusive distribution rights. Your TOS should explicitly state that you reserve the right to resell custom videos on your mass-market platforms (ManyVids, Clips4Sale, or as an OF PPV) after 30 days. If a buyer wants 'Exclusive Rights' (meaning you promise never to resell it), you should charge a 300% to 500% markup.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if someone complains my customs are too expensive?
Ignore them. If you never get told your prices are too high, your prices are too low. Focus on the buyers who respect your time, not the hagglers.
Should I do custom requests that make me uncomfortable?
Never. No amount of money is worth compromising your hard boundaries. Simply reply: 'I don't offer that specific service, but here is my menu of what I do offer.'
