Custom video price

[The_Imperfect]

Hi to everybody,

I think I'm a bloody idiot )
I had a guy on CB tonight. He asked me for a custom video, I told him I was not into videos... but I have accepted.
I didn't know how much to charge, because I have never made any custom video before.
It didn't seem to be something really difficult to do, that's why I said yes. He wants me to model some lingerie, few sets, with my Lush on and maybe cum like that. I won't have to cut the video etc, he wants to see me changing the clothes. I'm not even good at editing anything )
He said $100, I said ok. The guy paid in a second.

After I read some posts here about $10/min of custom video, I was like: WTF! I'm such an idiot ahahahahha!

Btw, how do you get paid for custom video? I have no onlyfans, no nothing. I tried to activate a cashapp, I have seen girls using it, but it didn't work, don't know why.

I just wanted to tell you the story of an idiot like me ))

I only take customs payments through sites that a) cover chargebacks

So I use primarily manyvids and iwantclips for customs. I'll take payment and send them through live camsites like SM and MFC too. But I have to charge more depending on what cut the site I'm charging on takes. It also depends where the buyer approaches me. I'm usually gonna take payment on the site the buyer first approaches me on, to avoid any potential trouble/ conflicts. Most sites don't want you taking their customers elsewhere. But with onlyfans it's probably OK to take them to MFC, because OF and MFC are part or full owned by the same person/ people/ company (or something like that).

You're not an idiot. You're new to custom videos. You did the right thing accepting payment before filming the custom - too many models don't do this and end up getting scammed!
I used to charge $10 for 10 minute videos at the very beginning. NEVER again!

I currently have between $10-$15/minute for customs. $10/minute if it's recorded with a webcam, which is easier for me to record with. $15/minute if it's recorded with my phone, which has higher quality than my webcam.

Most sites won't allow you to accept (or talk about accepting) payments outside of the site you're on. So if the customer came via CB, you should only accept payment via CB. Chargebacks might be a risk but most customers will be real customers wanting to pay you. I ask people on CB to leave their email in their tip note so that I'm able to send them their custom video (I upload the custom video as unlisted on Pornhub or MyFreeCams, depending on what they prefer, and email them the link - make sure your email is a separate email from any of your personal accounts. Make a business-only email if you haven't already!).

Also, make your custom videos available for resale - put them up like you would put up any other pay-to-view video. It can help give you some income. I ask for a high exclusivity fee ($200) if the customer doesn't want it to be resold, because it will cost me a lot to not resell it.

Only agree on what you're filming before any money is sent, so there's no pressure to perform something you don't want to perform.

Thank your for your replies.

He paid me on CB with tokens.

Getting an account on Pornhub to upload the video, is a good idea.
I'm Romanian... Veterinarian. So getting an account on Manyvids and sites like this could affect me. But being online on CB could also bring me too much exposure.

I didn't know that guys would pay that much for a video. I think I should invest more in this and even advertise.
