Advice about prices?

TLDR

I've been on Fansly for a few months now, averaging about $300 a month, and I spent way too long second-guessing my prices. Here's what I've learned about finding that sweet spot without panicking or undercutting yourself.

Should You Lower Your Prices When Sales Feel Slow?

Honestly, this was my first instinct too, and I'm glad I didn't rush it. When you see creators with dirt-cheap subscriptions tempting you to slash your rates, remember that price often signals value. Dropping yours can actually make people think your content is worth less, and attracting a crowd of bargain hunters who barely tip and never renew is a trap I've watched others fall into.

The better move is to look at your actual numbers. Are you converting followers into subscribers at a decent rate? Are renewals holding steady? If people are subscribing but not staying, the issue is probably retention, not price. If barely anyone subscribes at all, test a small discount or a promo run rather than permanently gutting your rates. You can always raise prices later, but climbing back up from "the cheap girl" is way harder.

How Do You Actually Figure Out Your Worth?

Comparison is a rabbit hole, because the super-cheap and super-expensive creators you see are playing completely different games. High prices work when you've built a brand, a personality people connect with, and scarcity around your content. Low prices work as volume plays, and those creators usually make it back in sheer numbers plus pay-per-view extras.

With $300 a month as your baseline, you're at a stage where consistency matters more than price perfection. Focus on posting regularly, responding to messages, and giving people a reason to renew. Then experiment: try one price change per month, watch what happens to subscriptions and renewals, and keep what works. There's no magic number, just feedback from your own audience.

And when it comes to expanding your income beyond subscriptions, branching out matters. If you want a live platform with decent visibility and a fair cut, I've found xlovecam to be the better choice compared to most of the alternatives I've tried.

Where Do You Go From Here?

So - are you going to trust your gut on pricing, or let your numbers make the decision for you? What's one experiment you could run this month that would tell you more than any other creator's advice ever could?
