Pricing your content on OnlyFans is one of the most important factors for attracting subscribers and maximizing your income. The foundation for effective OnlyFans pricing lies in the storyline approach. This method helps structure and deliver content that engages fans while creating clear value at each stage of their journey. If you’re not familiar with the storyline approach, make sure to read our article on OnlyFans chatting to learn more.
In this guide, we reveal the the essential aspects of pricing your OnlyFans. We cover pricing subscription fees, messaging content, and custom content. By implementing these strategies, you’ll have the tools you need to build stronger fan connections and increase your earnings.
OnlyFans Subscription Price
Your subscription price is the first step in attracting subscribers to your page. It sets the tone for your brand and dictates the expectations for your content quality and exclusivity. You should tailor the exact price to your audience and niche, but it’s crucial to strike a balance between accessibility and exclusivity.
Note that once you have set the price and built a fanbase on OnlyFans, changing the subscription price will automatically cancel all current subscriptions. This will inevitably lead to a decrease in earnings. For this reason, we recommend setting a higher subscription price at $15 to $20 from the start and offering discount bundles to increase the subscription rate.
Subscription Discount bundles
Offer various short-term, midterm, and long-term discount bundles. You have the flexibility to adjust the discount bundles at any time, allowing you to find the ideal balance without having to cancel your existing subscriptions. This is what it could look like:
30 Day subscription bundle at a discount of 30%
3 Month subscription bundle at a discount of 40%
4 Month subscription bundle at a discount of 45%
6 month subscription bundle at a discount of 55%
12 month subscription bundle at a discount of 70%
Exlcusive Offers
Its a good idea to offer exclusive discounts to your audience from time to time. By setting up a limited-time offer, you create the sense of urgency. This works extremely well if you advertise your limited-time offer on Instagram and your other social media accounts.
Pricing OnlyFans Messaging Content
The key to pricing messaging content effectively lies in the Storyline Approach. For more details on what a Storyline is, read our blogpost on OnlyFans chatting.
To some extent, you need to tailor prices to the fan’s willingness to pay, but there’s a general pricing framework to follow:
- First Content Piece: The first content piece of a storyline is not explicit and priced between $5 to $10. Having initiated a conversation, the purpose of this content piece is to steer the conversation into a more explicit direction without overwhelming the fan with too much excplicitness and a high price.
- Second Content Piece: The second content piece of a storyline is still quite inexplicit, but helps steer the conversation into a slightly more explicit direction. Its a good idea to include a suggestive pose without revealing too much yet. You can price it between $15 and $25.
- Third Content Piece: Thing start to get more explicit from here on. You can send a topless image as the conversation progresses. Price this increase in explicitness between $20 and $30.
- Fourth Content Piece: Building on the momentum, you can add a suggestive pose on top of the topless nature of the content piece. Photos and videos are both viable options at this stage. Price this content piece between $30 and $40.
- Fifth Content Piece: Explicitness further increases. You can send a fully nude photo as the fifth content piece of the storyline and charge $45-$50 for it. By now, the fan is fully engaged in the conversation and ready for the full experience.
- Sixth Content Piece: Building further on full-nudity, you can send a fully-nude video with a teaser of what follows in the next content piece. The fan is not at the peak of the conversation but ready for a climax. Charge another $50-$60 for this content piece.
- Seventh Content Piece: Having teased the fan so far, he is now ready to experience yet another increase in explicitness. Send him a masturbation video priced at $70-$80 Masturbation Video: $70-80
- Eighth Content Piece: If the fan has not reached his climax yet, this is the moment to grant him the favor. Send the most explicit content piece of the storyline. This could be a video you yourself reaching the climax. This completes the storyline. Charge $80-$100 for this final content piece.
OnlyFans Custom Content Pricing
Custom content is priced based on the specific fan request and should always command a premium. Since these pieces are created exclusively for the fan, the value and price are higher. The more specific the fan’s demands are, the higher the content piece should be priced. There is no general rule on how you should price a custom request. However, here are some recommendations on how you could do it:
- Photos including the fan’s name: 50$. This obviously depends on the level of explicintess. Feel free to charge more if he demands full nudity.
- Videos: $50-60 per minute. This is the bare minimum you should charge. Don’t hesitate to charge more if full nudity is requested to make it worth your time.
- Phone calls: $50-60 per minute. Be careful to not undersell your time. Fans who request phone or video calls are willing to pay a high price for the opportunity to talk to you personally. Depending on the fan, you can price more than this.
- Underwear/Clothing: $90-$300, depending on the item. Feel free to add a juicy premium. Underwear is usually cheaper than a hoodie. Take the initial cost of the item into account when pricing these requests.
- Merchandise: Branded merchandise and sextoys are on the upper end of price. Depending on the initial purchase price, you can sell these items for solid 3-digit prices.
Custom content is always paid for through tips, which ensures the process is seamless and transparent.
Final Thoughts
Pricing content effectively requires a fine balance between setting the price high enough to filter out time wasters and not setting it to high and risking deterring potential long-term fans.
Although loyalty is always built through authentic and meaningful relationship building in the chats, getting the pricing right opens up the door for further engagement in the messaging section.
Bear in mind that the pricing recommendation provided earlier only serves as a baseline. Finding the sweet spot depends on the audience, their willingness to spend, but also other factors, like branding.
