How to Create an OnlyFans Tip Menu That Actually Makes Money

A tip menu is one of the simplest things you can add to your page, and one of the most effective. It gives fans a clear list of what they can ask for and how much it costs, so they do not have to guess, negotiate, or talk themselves out of spending. It removes friction, and in a business where friction kills sales, that matters.

If you have not set one up yet, or your current one is not pulling its weight, here is how to build one that actually works.

What a tip menu is (and why it works)

A tip menu is a list of content or actions you offer, each with a set tip amount. Think of it like a restaurant menu. Instead of making every fan compose a custom request from scratch, you give them options they can pick from instantly.

It works for a few reasons:

• It removes decision paralysis. Fans know exactly what is available and what it costs. No guessing, no awkward back and forth.
• It encourages spending. Seeing a clear list of options at different price points makes it easy for someone to find something in their budget. People who might never have sent a custom request will happily pick from a menu.
• It sets expectations. When prices are listed up front, you get fewer lowball offers and less time spent negotiating.
• It saves you time. Instead of answering “what do you offer?” twenty times a day, you point to the menu.

How to structure your tiers

The key is to offer a range of price points so every fan can find something, from the casual tipper to the big spender. A good tip menu usually has three or four tiers.

Low tier (small, easy wins)

These are quick, low-effort items that almost anyone will buy. They get fans in the habit of tipping.

• Rating their photo: a small, fun interaction
• A personalised greeting or shoutout
• Reacting to something they send you
• Name on a pinned “thank you” post

Price these affordably. The goal is volume and habit-building, not margin.

Mid tier (your bread and butter)

This is where most of your tip menu income should come from. These items take a bit more effort but are still manageable.

• Solo photo sets (a specific number of photos in a theme)
• Short custom video clips
• Specific outfit or lingerie requests
• Voice notes or audio messages

Price these based on the time and effort involved. Be honest with yourself about what your time is worth.

High tier (premium and personal)

These are the items that take real time and effort, priced accordingly. Not every fan will buy them, and that is fine. The ones who do are your most valuable supporters.

• Longer custom videos
• Video calls or live interactions
• “Girlfriend experience” style content
• Detailed custom requests to their specifications

Top tier (exclusive, limited)

Some creators add a top tier for things that are genuinely rare or one-off. Worn items, extended experiences, or anything you only want to offer occasionally. Keep this small and exclusive.

Pricing tips that actually help

Pricing is where most creators either leave money on the table or price themselves out of sales entirely. Here are the principles that matter.

Start with your time. Work out what an hour of your time is worth to you, then price items based on how long they take to produce. A ten-minute custom video should not cost the same as a quick selfie.

Look at what your audience actually buys. If fans keep requesting one type of content, that is a signal. Price it well and make it easy to find on your menu.

Do not race to the bottom. Charging very little does not make fans buy more. It makes them value your content less. You can always lower a price, but raising one is harder once expectations are set.

Use round, clean numbers. Tip amounts like 10, 25, 50, and 100 convert better than 17 or 43. They are easier to process and feel more intentional.

Leave room to grow. If you are just starting out, price a little below where you think you should be, then raise prices as demand increases. Your early fans get a good deal, and you build a track record that justifies higher rates later.

Not sure where to start? Our tip menu builder lets you put together a menu with suggested price ranges based on content type, so you are not starting from a blank page.

Presentation matters more than you think

A tip menu that looks thrown together gets ignored. A clean, well-presented one gets used. Here is what to focus on.

Pin it. Your tip menu should be one of the first things a new subscriber sees. Pin it to the top of your page so it is always visible.

Keep it visual. A plain text list works, but an image-based menu with clear formatting works better. Use bold text, clean spacing, and organise items by category or price tier.

Write short descriptions. Each item should have a one-line description so fans know exactly what they are getting. “Custom solo video (5 mins, your scenario)” is better than just “Custom video.”

Update it regularly. If you add new offerings or retire old ones, update the menu. A stale menu with items you no longer offer creates confusion and wastes everyone’s time.

Mention it in your welcome message. When a new subscriber joins, your automated welcome message should point them to the tip menu. First impressions matter, and this is the moment they are most likely to spend.

Common mistakes to avoid

These are the things that quietly kill a tip menu’s performance.

• Too many items. If your menu has 30 options, nobody is reading it. Keep it focused. Eight to fifteen items is usually the sweet spot.
• No low-tier options. If everything on your menu starts at 50, you are cutting out the casual buyers who would happily tip 10 for something small. Those small tips add up, and those fans often graduate to bigger purchases later.
• Vague descriptions. “Something special” does not tell anyone what they are buying. Be specific about what each item includes.
• Pricing everything the same. If a selfie and a custom video cost the same amount, something is wrong. Fans notice, and it makes your pricing feel arbitrary.
• Never mentioning it. Pinning it is step one, but you also need to reference it in posts, messages, and stories. A tip menu only works if people see it.
• Not tracking what sells. Pay attention to which items get ordered and which sit untouched. Drop the dead weight and double down on what fans actually want. Our earnings calculator can help you see which revenue streams are pulling their weight.

How to promote your tip menu

Having a menu is not enough. You need to actively point people to it.

Reference it in posts. When you post a photo or teaser, mention that fans can get more through your tip menu. “Want something like this made just for you? Check my tip menu” is simple and effective.

Use it in conversations. When a fan asks what you offer or hints at wanting something custom, send them the menu. It is a natural, non-pushy way to turn a conversation into a sale.

Highlight popular items. If a particular item is selling well, mention it. “My custom video clips have been really popular this week” creates social proof and curiosity.

Create limited-time additions. Seasonal or themed items (holiday specials, themed photo sets) give fans a reason to check the menu regularly and act before something disappears.

Tease the premium tier. Occasionally mention your higher-tier items in posts or stories. Even fans who cannot afford them now will keep them in mind for later.

The bottom line

A tip menu is not complicated, but the difference between a good one and a bad one is real. Get the structure right, price thoughtfully, present it cleanly, and keep reminding people it exists. It is one of the easiest ways to increase what you earn from the audience you already have.

If you want a head start, our tip menu builder walks you through the setup and gives you a formatted menu you can use straight away. And if you are thinking about working with an agency to handle the sales and strategy side, you can see how that works or apply directly.
