New to customs

[Sordidsecret]

Hey.

So me and my bf have been making movies for about a year, just pressed record and now loving the experience. Recently been asked to make customs,
1 request solo, wear only black stockings, cowgirl riding, real orgasms
2 request b/g close ups, gapes, messy etc
Hm would I charge?

Typically customs are charged based on $$ per minute. The 'standard' base rate is $10 per minute but that varies *widely* so use it as a reference point more than anything. Everyone does customs differently but you can upcharge for things like boy/girl sex, mess/clean up, specialty outfits (anything you have to purchase they should cover the cost), and anything else that takes a long time to make, edit or clean up or recover from. Also consider upcharging for things that are harder to find either because its extremely hardcore *or* because its in a niche and not many people make it. Things that might make you consider lowering the cost is lower production value (camera quality/no edits etc).

Customs are typically resold on clip sites for regular video prices, though many people also offer a higher "exclusivity" rate and possibly also a separate rate if the person wants their name included (this is more common for solo vids).

Always get payment in full before the custom is filmed.
Really important to be clear and communicate expectations with the buyer. Give yourself double the time you think it will take. It's not uncommon for a custom to take weeks to a month for delivery - so set the expectation up front. Also set the expectations around communication - let them know when you'll update them otherwise some will bug you constantly for 'updates' which can feel like you're being chased for something that's not even due yet.
