    Default Charging for Exclusive Rights on a custom video

    Hello ladies,

    I enjoy making custom videos, and most of the videos my clients request are vanilla enough that I am comfortable reselling them on clipsites. But of course, every now and then I get a guy who wants a very specific, niche fetish custom that I can't/don't want to post on clipsites, so I am thinking of charging an "Exclusive Rights / Private Video" fee on top of what I already charge.

    I charge $10/min per custom video (time for setting up, shooting, editing, exporting, uploading) plus a fee if there's any mess or extra setup (oil, bath/shower, messy foods, usually takes me an hour to clean up so I charge what I would normally make in an hour on cam) but I don't know how much to charge for exclusive rights.

    A ballpark figure would be great! Double my rate, triple, quadruple? Or a flat fee of $X per exclusive video?

    I too charge $10 a minute but Im not sure how many guys would be willing or could afford to pay $20 or $30 a minute. You could just add a flat exclusive rate on the video like you were thinking. That too could vary on the content of the video.

    You can definitely sell the angle of you shooting something just for him that you won't do anywhere else. How much is it worth to you? If it's something very time consuming that you won't be making any more money off of by it being on a clip site then charge whatever you feel is necessary.

    I understand this struggle. There have been many times where my gentlemen wanted me to give them an exclusive custom video. It's very frustrating when they want an exclusive custom video for the same price as a regular one. I prefer to resell my clips, too.

    I would charge a fee on top of it. I normally charge +$50-$100, but it depends on the length of the video and the 'pain in the ass'. I don't mean this in a bad way, but if there's a video which would have taken me extra time to complete I always charge extra for that.

    I also outline the costs like this:

    Custom Video~
    10 minute video: $10/min; $100

    Extras~
    Your name used (Daniel): +$50
    Exclusive rights* (-name): +$100
    Your name used & exclusive rights*: +$150
    2+ scenes, video editing: +$30
    5+ scenes, video editing: +$70
    Adding pictures, video editing: +$100

    *Exclusive rights mean you own the video and I own a backup, but it will not be uploaded anywhere else by me. This means I will never upload your custom content to any video sites, clip sites, etc. You do not own the copyright, but you do own exclusive access to the content.

    This is just an example, but you get the idea. I try to lay down the groundwork so there's no room for misunderstanding later.

    Also, please learn from my mistake! The other day I accepted a custom video for a gentleman who wanted some serious video editing. It was a SPH video and he wanted me to insert ~20 pictures at exact intervals in a cheap 5 minute video. Make sure you charge extra for video editing! I had to watch my video several times to make sure each picture was inserted at the correct spot. It was a giant pain in the ass and I ended up refunding him because it took over an hour. Charge for extra work, be kind to yourself.

    Yes- I charge extra for everything

    Name moaned- $35
    Rush Delivery- $75
    Exclusive Rights- $100
    More than 3 scene changes-$150

    The best is to just figure out what price point is going to make it worth your time.

    I charge extra depending on what the person wants. If I can't resell it, I tack on $50. Anything hardcore is an extra $150 (I focus mainly on non penetration fetish content). Name usage is $25. If they want something specific (ie shredded cheese, shaving cream, an outfit I don't own, ect) I charge the price of the product. Now that I'm a non-smoker, I also upcharge for smoking.
    The nice thing about this industry is that you can charge whatever makes you comfortable. I know another clip producer who charges $300 extra for anything anal and gets it.
