How much should I charge for nudes and custom videos?
Start by pricing the work, not the number of seconds the buyer sees.
A five-minute custom video can easily represent much more than five minutes of your time. You may spend time discussing the request, getting ready, setting up the camera, filming several takes, editing, exporting, uploading and answering another message afterwards.
That is why copying somebody else's "price per minute" number often tells you very little.
A ready-made photo set or clip can potentially be sold repeatedly. You create it once and then try to find enough buyers. A genuine custom exists because one customer asked for something specific. The more personalised it becomes, the less reusable the finished material may be.
That changes how I would think about price.
Take the total time. Discussion and planning. Preparation. Filming. Editing. Delivery. Any agreed corrections or revisions. Add direct costs such as a location, clothing or props bought specifically for the order. Then account for the platform's current cut.
A fictional example makes the logic easier. Imagine a custom needs half an hour of messaging and planning, forty-five minutes to prepare and film, another forty-five minutes to edit and deliver, plus €20 of direct expenses. That is roughly two hours of work plus the cost before the platform has taken anything.
That example is not a recommended rate. It simply shows why "six-minute video" is a terrible description of the workload.
Personalisation matters too. Saying a buyer's name is one thing. Creating a concept that cannot sensibly be resold is another. Exclusivity changes the value again.
If somebody asks for exclusive content, find out what they actually mean. Do they mean you cannot sell that exact file again? Do they expect the whole concept to belong to them? Are they asking for rights they do not actually need?
Custom does not mean unlimited either. A customer request is still just a request. You can decide which acts, words, outfits or themes you offer. A price menu is not an auction for your boundaries.
Minimum order values can also make sense because the smallest customs can be the least efficient. The setup and messaging exist regardless of whether the finished piece is three minutes or ten.
Finally, remember that an advertised price is not income. You can list a custom for any amount you want. Somebody still has to buy it.
If you like making content but hate quoting, negotiating and customer service, that may be a sign that direct custom sales are simply not your best business model. A defined performer booking puts the negotiation with the producer before the shoot and leaves the producer to sell the finished work afterwards.
