OnlyFans Tip Menu: Ideas, Examples, and How to Build One

An OnlyFans tip menu is a list of specific requests — content, actions, or shoutouts — each attached to a specific tip amount, usually pinned to your profile or posted in chat. It works because most fans don't tip more simply because they *want* to; they tip more when tipping is easy, specific, and low-risk. A menu removes the awkward "what would you even want" moment and replaces it with a clear menu of options, the same way a restaurant menu converts better than a blank "ask the chef."

It matters more than it looks. On a platform where fans spent $7.22 billion in the last fiscal year and OnlyFans keeps 20% of every dollar, the tip menu is one of the few revenue levers that costs you nothing to add and keeps working passively — it sells for you even while you're offline.

“A tip menu isn't a price list. It's a conversation starter that happens to have prices attached.”

Why tip menus work

• They remove ambiguity. "Tip if you liked it" gives a fan nothing to act on. "$15 for a personalized voice memo" gives them a decision to make.
• They anchor value. Seeing a range of prices — small to premium — helps a fan calibrate what's reasonable, and often nudges them toward a mid-tier option they wouldn't have thought to offer on their own.
• They work passively. A pinned menu keeps selling in the background, on your profile, in your bio, and in autoresponders, without you having to pitch every fan individually.
• They open the door to customization. A menu is a starting point — many of your best sales will be a fan messaging about a menu item and you tailoring it (and the price) to what they actually want.

Example tip menu

Prices below are illustrative examples to show structure and tiering — not a price list to copy exactly. Your own pricing should reflect your niche, audience, and what you're comfortable delivering; see our subscription pricing guide for how to think about pricing relative to your audience.

Notice the shape: several cheap, low-effort entry points at the top, a solid middle where most sales happen, and a small number of premium items at the top that exist as much to make the mid-tier look reasonably priced as to actually sell often.

A simple beginner menu

If a full tiered menu feels like too much to manage on day one, start smaller. A beginner menu only needs three or four lines:

1. One cheap, easy tip option (under $10) so first-time tippers have a no-risk entry point.
2. One mid-range content request that matches something you already comfortably create.
3. One premium custom option, priced high enough that you're genuinely happy to deliver it if someone says yes.
4. A short note that custom requests outside the menu are welcome — invites DMs without limiting you to a fixed list.

You can expand it as you learn what your specific audience actually asks for — the best tip menus are edited over time based on real requests, not written once and left alone.

Do's and don'ts

• Do pin it somewhere fans will actually see it — profile, welcome message, and periodically in your feed.
• Do mention it naturally in chat when a fan's conversation gives you an opening, rather than only ever posting it cold.
• Do update it regularly. A menu that hasn't changed in six months reads as neglected, and prices that never move leave money on the table as your audience and content grow.
• Do only list what you're fully comfortable and able to deliver — legally, personally, and on a realistic timeline. An unclear or misleading menu item is one of the fastest ways to lose a fan's trust.
• Don't treat it as fixed. Use it as a floor and a framework, not a rulebook — many of your best sales come from customizing a menu item to a specific fan's request.
• Don't bury it in a wall of text. Short, scannable, clearly priced. If a fan has to read three paragraphs to find a number, you've already lost the sale.
• Don't price everything the same. A flat menu ("$20 for anything") gives up the anchoring effect that makes tiered menus convert better in the first place.

“The creators who earn the most from tip menus aren't the ones with the fanciest layout — they're the ones who actually update it based on what fans are already asking for.”

Where the tip menu fits in your overall pricing

A tip menu is one piece of a bigger pricing picture. It works alongside your subscription price and your PPV pricing — subscription gets someone in the door, PPV sells your main content, and the tip menu captures the smaller, specific requests that would otherwise go unmonetized. Together, they're what most established pages actually run on; see the full pricing & earnings guide for how the three fit together, or apply for a fit call if you want help building out a menu and pricing strategy for your specific page.
