1. Build a tier ladder
Instead of random prices, sort your content into tiers that go from the most covered to the most exclusive. Each tier costs more than the one before. A fan who bought tier 1 has a natural next step, and your top content keeps its value because it is never the first thing offered.
As an example, FanBotify ships with this default ladder, which every creator changes to fit her content:
| Tier | Default price |
|---|---|
| 1 | $27.38 |
| 2 | $36.56 |
| 3 | $77.35 |
| 4 | $92.46 |
| 5 | $127.45 |
| 6 | $200.00 |
The odd cents are deliberate: a price like $36.56 reads as set by a person, not by a price grid.
2. Sell bundles, not single pictures
Group 4 or more photos or videos from the same set into one PPV. A bundle feels like a moment rather than a scrap, justifies a higher price, and gives you fewer, better offers to manage. Keep one complete bundle per tier you sell, and add more bundles over time so returning fans always have something new.
3. Price for the fan in front of you
Fans do not all spend the same. A fan who regularly buys at your top tier will happily pay more than a first-time buyer. Per-fan pricing means starting from your base price and adjusting it to what each fan has actually spent, inside limits you set, and then keeping that price stable for him for a while so he never sees it jump around.
4. Ask before you sell
Pitching a PPV to someone who is not ready to spend wastes the offer. A simple, friendly check that the fan is happy to spend money tonight separates buyers from chatters, and keeps the relationship good with both.
5. Stop discounting by reflex
If a fan says no, a lower price straight away teaches him to wait for discounts. Better options: offer a lower tier, keep chatting, or come back to the same offer later. Keep real discounts rare and dated.
6. Don't let unpaid PPVs pile up
A chat full of locked, unopened offers looks like spam. Remove unpaid PPVs after a few hours and send at most one gentle follow-up on an unopened one.
7. Measure, then adjust
Track, for each tier: how often it is offered, how often it is bought, and the average price paid. If a tier almost never sells, the step up from the previous tier is probably too big. Change one thing at a time.
Let the pricing run itself
