Re: How much do you charge for custom videos?
I'm just starting with customs, so I'm not sure how useful this is lol I'm starting at a base of $10/minute with a minimum of 5 minutes, extras are extra (props i don't have, stuff that requires intensive set up or clean up,etc) and if they want exclusivity they pay extra (I've got it set at $200 to discourage it because I want to resell all my videos)

Re: How much do you charge for custom videos?
Take into consideration that if you're taking payment through MFC You are only receiving 50%, so double the price that you would normally ask for.
I do a base price of $10/min for solo and $20/min for boy/girl. That fluctuates depending on what they want done in the video. If they want it rush delivery, name moaned, more than 2 scene changes, exclusive (not re-sold) .. those are all extra prices. Also, some guys get VERY descriptive with what they want, which I charge more for because they can be harder to film correctly. Make sure that whatever you're charging is going to at least equal whatever you would be making if you were on cam. Say the video itself will take 2 hours start to finish of prep time and shooting, then you still need to add on the editing portion which can be a lengthy process. If you aren't making at least even with what you would make on cam, what's the point?
Make sure if you're taking payment through MFC that whatever price you charge is YOUR cut. I charge 200 tokens/min for solo customs as a base price which would still equal $10/min my cut. :)

Re: How much do you charge for custom videos?
If you have to pay someone else, that's an extra charge too. Like if you have to hire talent, charge what you want to make from it plus what you're paying someone else. Then add a % more to account for site fees. Ex: if one of my sites pays 85% & another pays 60% and the guy wants to pay on the 60% site, I charge him enough that I keep what i would get on the 85% site.

Re: How much do you charge for custom videos?
Awesome advice ladies! My only concern is that someone is not going to want to pay $200 for a 10 minute video. I would only charge that since I have to ask a friend to do it since it's B/G. Do guys actually pay that much for customs?
-
Re: How much do you charge for custom videos?
Yes they will pay it if they are serious and want it bad enough. I had a few customs that the guy paid 150 plus for 5 min video, now i dont work mfc but i got customs through my site and they definately will pay it. Never bargain with them, your time is worth money and thats what i always tell them lol But do trust that they will pay it. Youre worth it.

Re: How much do you charge for custom videos?
The people who seriously buy custom videos will pay whatever you charge for them. It's not only about their fantasy coming to life, it's YOU doing their fantasy that is coming to life. :) Time is money, and your time is more expensive than the average person... Charge what you're worth!

Re: How much do you charge for custom videos?
Let me just drop this here: I've sold 4 B/G videos for over $1k each & several BJ videos for $750.
No that's absolutely not the norm, but if that's what I feel my time is worth, that's what I charge.
When I make B/G with my partner I charge $20-$25/min + extras (costume change, etc). But if I had to actually find someone else to do it with, I would charge way more... at least double.
So, no way is $200 too much. It's custom porn. It's a luxury. Ask for what you feel you deserve & don't back down.

Wow! That's freaking awesome! So do you girls make really high quality stuff? One thing I was worried about is that my stuff won't be really high quality yet. I'm just starting out, so my equipment is pretty basic lol but I bought lighting equipment, which I use for camming, and my camera is a Logitech. I don't plan on doing anything too crazy for editing, and I will be able to resell it.
I want to sell videos for as much as possible, but I don't want to put myself on the same level as someone with higher quality content. Not trying to sell myself short, but it's like if Tinashe was selling her concert tickets for the same price as Rihanna. Lol just trying to be realistic.

Re: How much do you charge for custom videos?
I charge $12 per min on average, double for B/G. There is no point at all in lowballing yourself since you can earn earn more on cam in an hour than some guys are willing to pay for the hour or more that you will take on a video. I used to explain to them that they are paying for the whole amount of time it takes me to set up the scene and equipment, film, edit, and upload, but now I don't bother. Just give them your price and if they want it they'll pay it, no negotiation.

Re: How much do you charge for custom videos?
Yes, I make high quality content which is why I charge up to that amount. I just wanted to make a point that if people want it badly enough, they'll pay for it. Most of those high-dollar videos were ones that were difficult to make and/or ones I didn't really want to make, so I charged more. And they paid. They don't always pay, and I'm fine with that.
Break it down: Let's say you charge the customer $200. MFC gives you $100. Then you pay $30 taxes. So that leaves you with $70. You also have to pay a dude (or not... lots of guys will do it for free), but what you are you going to offer him? $30?? I mean, that's not much for him to have to drive over, perform, etc... unless he just wants to fuck, which is fine. What if he wants half? That leaves you with $35 for dealing with the customer, making the video, editing & uploading it... and finding it on a tube site a week later.
I believe sex workers should get paid really well. We take risks. We sacrifice things in our personal lives, and we sometimes expose ourselves to STDs. Btw, I'm a believer in STD testing. That can run you up to $215 per person, depending on where you get tested or if your health insurance covers it. Sure, you could skip STD testing & use a condom, but you really should be tested anyway (and your partner should be too).

Re: How much do you charge for custom videos?
Ok. Well I think $10 a minute is a good starting price point then for solo videos. Obviously, double for when I have to work with a partner. I'm glad I asked, I really thought I was asking for too much.
-
Re: How much do you charge for custom videos?
I have a base of $9.99 per min, 10 min minimum. Mostly anywhere from $150-400 depending on length and what's involved. I charge extra for fetish as well.
-
Re: How much do you charge for custom videos?
Wow! I've been underselling. I charge $6 for a custom, Shot in HD and sent via e-mail. I don't resell them either - Prices are going up!!

I'm not a pro at this yet, but I've been setting my prices and menu for mfc and I'm finally getting the hang of it.
I would charge more for fetishes. Especially if you have to buy or use special stuff. I have this guy that likes doing lotion shows and I haven't been charging him extra and I regret it. I don't use expensive stuff at all, but I'm wasting a lot of it and for nothing extra so nope, charging more.
I'd suggest charging an extra $2 or $3 dollars a minute, so my normal price would be $10 a minute and for fetish I would increase it by $2 or more a minute depending on the fetish. Also depends on the fetish. I will charge less for foot fetish than I will for something involving food.
I have only done one fetish video and it was for sph. I didn't charge more and I could kick my own ass for that lol oh well, live and learn.

Re: How much do you charge for custom videos?
It's your choice on what you min. is - For instance my min is 5 mins for custom for more basic videos - if you have detailed scripts, various amount of scenes fees are charged, name fee, exclusive fee and a few more. I charge a messy/cleanup charge for wet messy and sploshing type customs. You can easily just tax on a fee for the nature of your video instead of setting a minimum if you do not want to.
So get clarity on what is needed for the "cheese fetish" as I know some guys may want you to layer cheese all over you, maybe you're eating the cheese or playing with it. Take into account how much cheese is needed, the time it will take to set up and clean up, editing etc and you can base your total price on that.

Re: How much do you charge for custom videos?
Anddddd the fact that it's probably not going to sell. I charge extra for that now. Learned the hard way. If I had a "cheese guy" I'd charge him an extra $200 & make it "exclusive" (don't bother trying to sell it) because how many people have a cheese fetish?

Re: How much do you charge for custom videos?
My starting rates are $15 per min then add on the per minute rate of content so of they want a blow job clip for example thats and extra 5 bucks per min so $20 per min in total. I charge per change of outfit and i also list what outfits i have so if there is something they want but dont have then they have to pay for it. If they want a clip and its specific and not on my custom clip menu then i charge them for the enquiry so that i know they are genuine. I tent to deduct the enquiry amount off of the total though unless they are being an idiot in which case it is filed under the t*** tax catagory and i keep it. I do also state on my clip form that if they havent paid the correct amount then tney wont get the clip.

What to Charge for Pics
I have taken a break from stripping, to focus on school for a few months. One of my regs has asked for pics, and I don't even know what to charge for something like that. I'm also concerned with concealing my identity in the pics Think I will wear a wig and/or mask. What could I get for stills? I don't know if it's even worth it. TIA!
-
Re: How much do you charge for custom videos?
I charge $10 a minute but add in extra fees for if they want anal, want a specific location, have a very detailed script, etc.

Re: How much do you charge for custom videos?
There's a lot of good advice and food for thought being handed out here. I always like to approach things from the absolute simplest angle possible. After going through this thread, I think I would have to work strictly solo. And, give myself a little wiggle room in pricing... $10 to $12 per minute. That seems competitive and realistic. If a custom request came along that didn't work within these guidelines, I think it would be better to just pass on it. It probably would end up not being worth the trouble.

Re: How much do you charge for custom videos?
Sorry for posting this in an obviously wrong thread - but since we're talking about prices, how much do you charge for a premade video when selling it on Streamate for example?

I have wondered this, too... or what you charge when reselling a custom? Do you ever have people who paid, for example, 200 tokens a minute for a custom, that is resold for 200 tokens (price I see a lot of vids on CB sold for) get upset?

Depends on length,content and age of the video. If its a solo toy video around five minutes in length I would charge at least ten bucks.
