Fantasy Turns Reality - Boost Income with Customs

Boost your income with these tips and tricks for getting more sales on custom content on YourVids.

Selling custom video, audio, and photo content is an amazing way to earn more income on YourVids (and in general.) Adult content creators that are actively focused on media being a large part of their income will find that custom content is a fantastic way to increase income, expand their library, and enhance the connection that they have with their fans. Custom content, especially videos, are considered one of the most "luxurious" items a fan can buy from a creator because it gives fans the opportunity to bring their own ideas to life in a piece of media that they can revisit all the time. Adding custom content offerings into your workflow takes you to the next level as a content creator - you're no longer dropping new clips and hoping that they sell, instead you're directly connecting with your audience and creating their fantasies. 

Customs Help Create Sellable Store Content 

Custom requests are more than just a one time transaction because it generates potential for new listings. A majority of creators offer both exclusive and non-exclusive customs and those non-exclusive ones can fill up your video store and draw in new fans. Drawing in new fans will help generate niche specific fan bases, where those new fans will eventually order their own customs, and so on and so forth. You can even up-sell with options to say a fans name (but edit it out for the store version) so fans are getting a personalized piece of content that they directed while also providing you with more content for your store. One non-exclusive custom video can easily provide a full video for the buyer, short clips for your social media posts, photo sets, audio-only versions (if you do a lot of yapping), BTS clips, and the clip for your store. 

You'll basically be getting paid up front to produce a piece of content that will then be posted to your store and continue to provide passive income long after the custom is delivered. It takes the guess work out of deciding what type of content will sell well in your store because you're being paid to create content and you'll get to see the statistics on it without taking a risk on not profiting from the created content! I think all adult creators can agree, we love not having our time wasted. 

Ability to Up-Sell for Higher Income 

Another amazing thing about custom content is that you're not "in competition" with your pricing and trying to mold your own price point to match what is already available in a specific niche or category. With customs - you can charge what you firmly believe your time, energy, and exclusivity is worth! Fans are willing to pay significantly more for custom content because you're making it to their specifications and desires and bringing their imagination to life. The trick to earning the most potential income for your custom content while also balancing out your pricing so fans can still afford to indulge in them is to consider add-ons and premium options on top of what you believe a fair "base" per minute price would be. You can try charging for things like: 
  • ➡️ Specific outfits, toys, or props 
  • ➡️ Name usage 
  • ➡️ Specific locations 
  • ➡️ Photosets associated with the video 
  • ➡️ Exclusivity (also referred to as 'FYEO' which means for your eyes only) 
  • ➡️ Outfit changes throughout the content 
  • ➡️ Upcharge for the stuff that takes more prep time (like anal, for example) 
  • ➡️ Having someone film from a "camera-man POV" (if you have that option) 
  • ➡️ Adding a scene partner 
  • ➡️ A fee for performing a kink that may not perform well in your store 
Due to your customs being... well... custom, you have the ability to decide what you want to charge more for and how much your time and efforts will cost. Since what you're creating isn't a generic piece of content meant to satisfy multiple viewers you'll be in a position to set your price points where you feel comfortable and up-sell with add-ons to your hearts desire! 

Custom Content Brings You Closer to Your Fans 

This is the part of custom content that tends to get overlooked but is just as important as the income boost offering customs will provide; custom content turns a transactional fan or observer into a super fan. You're creating a piece of content that perfectly encompasses all that they've been looking for - how could they NOT come back for more? When a fan gets to direct or heavily influence the content you're creating, they feel seen. They're not just watching content you're creating on a mass scale but instead enjoying content they know you took the time to create just for them which shows emotional investment. They're more likely to keep coming back for customs, buy your new releases (because they can still view these from a more personal angle when you've created customs for them), tip more to show appreciation, and they tend to stick around longer because they feel a genuine connection with you. Intimacy building through genuine connection leads to loyalty which leads to recurring revenue. 

Offering Customs Can Elevate Your Brand 

While offering custom videos, photos, and audio is extra work... it's smart work. You're growing your audience by expanding your catalog, charging premium rates for exclusive/special experiences, and creating one-on-one relationships with your fan base. Creators who earn the most money on any adult platform know that fan connection is imperative to achieve financial success and customs are another way that any creator can give themselves the opportunity to connect with their fans.
