How to Set the Right Price for Your Content
Creator Dashboard – How-To Guide #10
Pricing can make or break your success as a creator. Set your rates too high and fans won't try. Set them too low and you'll burn out fast. Here's how to strike a balance that works for you and attracts paying subscribers.
1. Know Your Goals
- Are you trying to grow fast or go premium?
- Growth strategy = lower prices + more posts
- Premium strategy = higher prices + exclusive drops
2. Start Lower, Raise Later
- New creators often start around $4.99–$7.99/month
- Once you build a fanbase, test higher prices: $9.99–$14.99
- You can adjust your pricing anytime from your creator settings.
3. Use Paid Unlocks for Extra Value
- Charge for special content that's worth the unlock.
- Example: bold shoots, long videos, bundles, or behind-the-scenes extras.
- Don't overuse—save unlocks for your best stuff.
4. Compare What Others Are Charging
- Browse similar creators to see what's working.
- Offer slightly more content or better access at the same price.
- Don't race to the bottom—your content has value.
5. Ask for Feedback
- Use polls or captions to ask fans what they want and would pay for.
- Adjust your pricing if you notice slow growth or frequent unsubscribes.
✅ Bonus Tip
Pricing isn't permanent. Think of it as a strategy, not a commitment.
