OnlyFans Pricing Guide: Maximize Your Earnings!  

Discover the best OnlyFans pricing guide to maximize your earnings and stand out from the competition. Find out how much to charge for your content.

Pricing on OnlyFans varies greatly depending on the content creator and their target audience.

However, there are a few general guidelines to follow when deciding on pricing and strategies for your content on the platform. Scroll down for a sample pricing guide. 👇

Consider Your Content and Audience

When you’re figuring out ways to price your content, you must first consider the value you’re providing to your audience. 🤔

You may be able to charge more for your content if you’re a popular creator with a large following or a unique niche. If you’re just starting out or have a small audience, you definitely want to start with lower prices and work your way up as you grow.

Another thing to think about is the type of content you’re sending out to your target audience. Photo or video content prices are more expensive than written or audio content prices. Exclusive content, such as live streams or one-on-one interactions, will drastically increase the prices you can charge for your PPV messages and will ultimately give a boost to your average monthly OnlyFans earnings.

Furthermore, some adult content creators provide various membership perks to subscribers who are big spenders. For example,  you could provide exclusive access to specific posts or videos, as well as personalized content with custom scripts such as dick ratings or jerk-off instructions. 😮

Finally, the key to pricing success on OnlyFans is striking a balance between providing value to your audience and earning a decent amount for your efforts. Experiment with various pricing options and get feedback from your subscribers to determine what works best for you. It’s fine to change your prices as your audience and content evolve!

Test Things Out

How do I charge for pictures on OnlyFans?

When sending a message, you can simply enter the desired amount you want the fan to pay for them to access the content.

Keep in mind that the fan may or may not agree to pay the cost of the message. If they don’t, they won’t be able to see your media content (note: they can always see the text message so consider writing something very descriptive as the caption).

What can I do to see if I’m pricing my content correctly on OnlyFans?

Try and experiment with your pricing strategy by raising your prices by $1 or $5 and then seeing who in a group of 10 fans is still buying content. Did the same number of fans buy as before you raised the price and changed your pricing strategy?

You can probably get away with the price increase then! 👍

Don’t forget that your audience might differ in terms of what they’re willing to pay for content. When you’re learning how to do OnlyFans, one of the biggest mistakes you could make when pricing your content is that you don’t consider that each fan has a different price tolerance. You will need a separate strategy for each audience type in order to maximize your earnings on the platform. The only way to find out what each fan is willing to pay is to test things out! 🔍

Some fans are more open to spending so you will need to establish strategies for each audience type, including what you’re charging for PPV content.

Regularly analyze how profitable and engaging your content is to make sure your pricing is right. Adjust prices based on how well your content is doing – lower for unpopular content, raise for popular content to make more money.

What are the limits to pricing PPV and subscriptions on OnlyFans?

OnlyFans sets specific pricing limits for PPV content, messages, subscriptions, and tips. The maximum price for PPV content is capped at $200 per item. Subscriptions cannot exceed $49.99 per month. Additionally, the maximum tip amount allowed is $100. It’s important to understand these pricing restrictions and strike a balance that benefits both you and your audience. Experimenting with various pricing and staying updated on industry trends can help you succeed on OnlyFans while maximizing your earnings.

Is making a free or paid OnlyFans account better?

Subscriptions are a great way for creators to earn money by having users pay a regular fee to access their content. It offers a steady income and flexible pricing options. On the other hand, PPV allows users to pay for specific content pieces, making it a good choice for creators with niche content. It also offers various pricing options and direct monetization. To decide which model to use, check what similar creators in your niche are doing.

Different Pricing Strategies for OnlyFans Explained

In reality, you’re only going into run into a few major pricing strategies for OnlyFans. Check some of these strategies out and make a decision on which one you want to use based on the pros and cons of each. You can then tune the performance of each strategy with your account and see if you’re making money.

Pricing Strategy 1 – Set a low PPV price but rely on high subscription price to make money

Pros: Once fans subscribe, you’re pretty much guaranteed an income every month as you’ve built a high quality audience. Fans remain subbed for long periods of time but require a personalized approach in terms of chatting.

Cons: This pricing strategy is often not great for beginners without an initial social media presence. Since fans don’t know you personally, it will take a long time for you to initially build a following and have them convert as a result of the high subscription price. You’ll also be spending a significant amount of time chatting with fans to promote your OnlyFans and keep them subscribed.

Pricing Strategy 2 – Use a free account to establish yourself as a brand and develop an audience, monetizing content at a later stage

Pros: Your OnlyFans notifications will go off with this approach! Lots and lots of followers will subscribe to your page quickly and you’ll see how fast you’ll gain in post interactions, not only on OnlyFans, but on other platforms as well. If you’re trying to go viral, this may be the approach for you.

Cons: Unless you’re very patient, it’s best to not do this strategy. In this situation, you’re putting off massive earnings later on for basically free work for months on end. Although you will be gaining many fans quickly, your audience will be low quality and will be unlikely to buy anything in terms of PPV. However, you can reach a desired audience target with this approach and then monetize your content completely (by changing the free page to a paid page) or partially (opening up a second or third account only for paid subscribers).

Pricing Strategy 3 – Focus on providing niche or fetish content at extremely high prices

Pros: With this approach, you can set the price of both PPV and subscriptions to high amounts. Your fans will pay and you’ll enjoy a steady stream of income from subscriptions and variable monthly earnings due to PPV sales. If you love making content and the content isn’t something that’s easily found with another creator, this pricing strategy will work best for you.

Cons: Significant earnings come at a price! You’ll have to learn how to make high quality content quickly. For example, custom videos. Otherwise, you’ll be spending days and days recording photos and videos. If you’re truly in a niche field, it may take time to find an audience as you may need to consider unconventional social media approaches and you’ll need to test them out through trial and error.

Information on OnlyFans Fees and Costs

What percentage does OnlyFans take?

It’s also worth noting that OnlyFans takes a cut and charge of the revenue generated by content creators on the platform. OnlyFans fees are 20% as of 2024, so keep that in mind when determining prices as you’re only going to make 80% as a net income. Unfortunately, OnlyFans pricing fees are unavoidable and it’s a small price to pay to use the platform for its popularity.

Keep in mind that the 20% OnlyFans fee applies to both PPV and subscriptions! ⚠️

Leave this field empty if you're human:

 

If you’re doing a discount offer on a subscription the 20% is applied on the discounted price, so don’t worry about calculating anything beforehand as OnlyFans takes care of everything automatically when fees get applied to payouts.

Can you reduce OnlyFans fees?

Unfortunately, OnlyFans fees are set in stone as of 2024. Some platforms do offer smaller fees but remember that subscribers might be more hesitant to use these types of platforms since they’re less familiar.

How much does it cost to use OnlyFans?

If you’re a creator, you’re not going to be hit with any initial fees for OnlyFans to use the platform. Rather, OnlyFans makes their money each time you sell content to your fans or through subscriptions. In other words, there’s no registration fee for OnlyFans and the platform is free to use as a content creator. When you start doing payouts to your bank account, OnlyFans will take a proportion of that payout in the form of fees.

Alternate Sources of Income

On-platform

Tipping: You can earn money by getting tips from your followers on OnlyFans. Make a clear price list on your profile to show them how much and how often they can tip you. This helps them know what you like and might lead to more generous tips from them. Here’s a tip: you can also set a minimum tip for fans to be able to message you on OnlyFans. This way, you’ll be able to focus more on spenders.

Live Streams: You can make more money on OnlyFans by doing live streams. Viewers can give you tips during these streams. To earn more, set a tip goal or make the stream longer when you get tips. This will keep your viewers interested and encourage them to support your content.

Calls: Additionally, offering one-on-one voice and video calls to your closest subscribers can be a big source of income. Pricing this service by the minute, with standard rates ranging from $10 per minute, allows you to provide exclusive attention to your subscribers who are willing to pay for personalized interactions. Don’t hesitate to adjust your pricing based on demand and the value you offer during these calls.

Sexting: Furthermore, sexting can be another profitable service to offer on OnlyFans. Charging anywhere from $3 to $5 per minute for sexting sessions can generate income, but it’s essential to leverage sexting as a tool to drive sales of pay-per-view (PPV) content. By connecting with your customers through sexting, you can encourage them to buy more PPV content regularly, making more money.

Off-platform

There’s several methods to make more money off platform:

• Getting sponsorships from brands.

• Selling your own PPV off platform.

• Recommending products and earning a commission.

• Selling merch or partnering with a company.

• Teaching courses to other creators.

These options are best for experienced creators, but keep an eye out for other opportunities as you grow. ✍️

Other Ways to Get Organized

Make a Price Menu

If you want to get creative and establish clear pricing rules for your audience, think about making a pricing menu that fans always have access to so they know how much each piece of content goes for.

Set up alternate sources of income

You’re never limited to OnlyFans in terms of selling content. Obviously, to avoid platform issues such as bans, you need to be careful how you go about establishing an alternate source of income. For example, this could be selling Snaps, making an Amazon Wishlist, getting tips to third-party apps like Venmo, or making your own website to sell content.

Be aware of OnlyFans policies and don’t do something that results in your ban on the platform. 🛑

The benefit of having other sources is that it allows more flexibility in terms of pricing. Not enough sales? You could lower your PPV price as you don’t have to deal with OnlyFans fees. Want to make more money? Increase the price and offer exclusive access to loyal fans.

Simple Price Guide Example

Here’s a very simple pricing guide for OnlyFans when it comes to content, PPV messages, and more. Remember to incorporate OnlyFans fees into your pricing so there’s no surprises when you do withdraw money.

• Images: At least $5 for each image. Try to do discount image sets here and there, something along the lines of 5 images for $20. Make sure to always bundle old content and keep fresh ones as PPV messages.
• Videos: $5-10 a minute. Don’t make the mistake of sending all of the video in one go! As you become better in your sexting, spread out your video in chunks so that you can continuously upsell as you talk to your fans.
• Subscriptions: At least $3 if you’re starting out. Once you have a solid fanbase, feel free to increase the price. An average OnlyFans subscription price is between $3-5.
• Tips: These can be variable and often depend on what the fan gets in return. Make sure to set up good captions for your post so fans will be inclined to tip more. For example, get fans to tip for a new lingerie set you’ve been wanting to buy. Once you’ve collected enough money to buy it, send out a “Thank You” post to previous tippers and upsell content that includes the new set.
• Custom content: These often take a long time to make so don’t be afraid to set a firm price for these. For instance, JOI and dick ratings could be anything from $30+ per minute. Don’t undersell yourself on these types of content considering the effort required on your end to put this out.
