A script is a short sequence: one free tease, then PPVs that get more revealing step by step, usually all from the same shoot. It works like a story. Each step gives him a reason to want the next one, and that reason comes from the order.
In EmpireChat you can build one by hand or just add a vault folder, and it becomes a script by itself. The AI writes around each step in the chat, so it fits what he just said, and sets the prices per fan unless you set them yourself.
Why the free picture comes first
A cold PPV from someone he barely knows mostly gets ignored. A free picture does four jobs before any money comes up.
- It shows him the quality, so the next step isn't a blind buy.
- It gives the chat something to talk about.
- It's generous, and a guy who's been given something is warmer than a guy who's been asked for something.
- It starts a story he hasn't seen the end of.
The free picture has to stay tame, well below the first paid step. If it shows too much, he's had what he wanted and the set just lost its reason to exist. It also can't be one of the pictures in the locked set, or he pays for something he already has.
Why each step has to climb
Say she shot a set on a beach weekend. The free picture is her smiling at the door of the house, dressed. The first PPV is the bikini. Later steps go further, and the best shot of the weekend sits last.
Now shuffle that. Open with the best shot. He buys it, if he buys at all, and every step after that is a step down. There's nothing left to want. Same pictures, same price tags, and the set is worth less.
The climb also carries the price. He just bought step one and liked it, so step two at a higher price feels like the next part. Asking for that same number with no steps before it feels like a lot. The Pricing Ladder gives each item its level, so the order and the price move together.
The orders that lose sales
We've made most of these mistakes ourselves, or read them in old chats:
- Free pictures between the steps. We took these out. If a free one turns up between two paid steps, he learns that waiting gets him more for nothing.
- Carrying on after he passed. A step he didn't buy stops the next step. If he says "not really my thing" and gets "ready for part two?", he knows nobody's listening.
- Mixing shoots. Different room, different hair, different day. The story's gone and it reads as a pile of pictures.
- Promising more than the picture shows. A caption that oversells wins one sale and loses the guy. She only sells what's in the picture, and you should check the vault descriptions match.
- Wrong time of day. A late-night set at breakfast his time feels off. Scripts and pictures can be marked day or night, and she goes by his clock.
- A second script straight after the first. He's just had a whole run. Give him a break before she starts another climb.
What it's paid so far
In our first 8 days on Fanvue, on our own account, script sales averaged $37.61 and single PPVs $20.63. That's 8 days and a small sample, with one big spender in it, and part of the gap comes from the climb itself, since later steps cost more. We don't read it as proof. We read it as a good reason to keep going, and we've written up those numbers separately.
Build your first one this way
- Pick one shoot with a clear start and a clear peak. Don't pad it with weak pictures.
- Choose the free picture last. Take the most inviting one that still shows little.
- Keep the best picture for the final step, then work backwards.
- Open the script and look at the steps in order as if you were him. If a step feels like a repeat, cut it.
- Check the labels in the Vault. A wrong level puts a picture at the wrong step and the wrong price.
- Drag your best scripts to the top of your list. She gives each guy the first one in your order that he hasn't had yet and that fits his time of day.
- Read each script's results after a few weeks. Sent versus paid tells you more than your opinion of the shoot.
