Some creators send PPV messages that get opened but not bought. Others send messages that barely get opened at all. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and it probably means your PPV messaging needs a refresh. Great content only sells if it’s framed the right way. A strong PPV message acts like a teaser trailer: it builds curiosity, sets the tone, and gives just enough away to make the fan hit “Buy Now” without a second thought. This guide breaks down how to do exactly that.
What Makes a Good OnlyFans PPV Message?
A PPV message isn’t just a link with a price tag. It’s a hook. A good one blends suspense, personality, and emotional pull—without giving the whole show away. Think less “Here’s a video” and more “You’re not ready for this.”
The Three Core Ingredients
1. Tease the content, don’t explain it
Your job isn’t to describe what happens. It’s to create a sense of “I need to see this.” Tease a key moment or emotion instead of listing out what’s included.
2. Stay in character
Whether you're the flirty girl-next-door or the bold dominatrix, your tone matters. Consistency builds trust and makes the message feel personal.
3. Hint at scarcity or exclusivity
Use phrases like "filmed just for you," "never posting this publicly," or "only sending this to my favs today" to drive urgency.

Types of PPV Message Formats That Convert
Different types of fans respond to different types of messages. Rotate through these formats to keep your content fresh and your income consistent.
1. The Shock Tease
This format triggers curiosity by making a bold claim. It works best with content that feels raw or unexpected.
Example:
"I wasn’t gonna send this… but I rewatched it and got so turned on. I couldn’t keep it to myself 😳 [locked]"
This format performs well when combined with messy hair, natural lighting, or unrehearsed vibes—something fans perceive as “real.”
2. The Story Hook
If you’re good at storytelling, use a 2–3 sentence message to set the scene.
Example:
"I snuck this in during my lunch break at work… had to be quick 😈 my boss almost caught me 👀 [locked]"
This builds an experience around the clip instead of just selling a file. Want more content angles like this? Check our OnlyFans content ideas post.
3. The Question Bait
Questions get fans to pause, think, and click.
Example:
"Guess what toy I used this time 😏 Bet you’ve never seen me like this before… [locked]"
If you want to add variety, rotate between teasing questions and polls in your free DMs.
4. The Personalization Angle
Fans pay more when it feels like it was sent just to them.
Example:
"I was thinking about you while filming this. You said you liked the mirror stuff… so I got real close for this one 😘 [locked]"
This works best if you’ve used OnlyFans chatting scripts to collect preferences from fans first.
5. The Countdown Message
A bit of artificial scarcity can push people off the fence.
Example:
"Only 10 people are getting this one. After that, it’s gone. Don’t say I didn’t warn you 😏 [locked]"
Follow up a few hours later with a playful reminder for the stragglers.
Frequency and Timing: How Often Should You Send PPVs?
More isn’t always better. Fans tune out if you spam their inbox every few hours with overpriced content. Here’s a better approach:
- 3–5 PPVs per week is a strong sweet spot for active creators.
- Rotate formats: One story-based, one teaser-based, one bold/fetish-heavy message.
- Send during peak hours: 7–9 PM local time tends to work best across most countries.
- Send manually when possible for better segmentation and personalization.
You can automate using saved scripts, but still track what gets bought and adjust. For strategy help, read our OnlyFans chatting strategy guide.
Price Point Tactics for Maximum Conversions
There’s no one perfect PPV price. But here’s how to think about it:
- $5–$10: Quick teases, 15–30 second clips, softcore previews
- $10–$25: Full clips, solo scenes, POV-style
- $25–$50+: Fetish requests, couple content, cosplay, or custom-style content
Always tie the price to perceived value, not just video length. A 30-second clip can sell for $25 if the tease is fire and the fantasy is strong.

Mistakes To Avoid With PPV Messages
Some creators tank their earnings by making the same 3-4 mistakes on repeat. Let’s clean that up.
Mistake 1: Overexplaining
Telling fans exactly what happens kills mystery. If you spoil the best part in the message, you lower the incentive to click.
Mistake 2: Too Generic
“Hey babe, here’s a sexy video 😘” could be sent to anyone. If it sounds like it came from a bot, fans will treat it like spam.
Mistake 3: Overpricing
Sending $40 messages without warming up fans or building any anticipation is a quick way to lose trust. Think long-term.

PPV Messages for Creators Who Don’t Show Face
If you're a no-face creator, PPV still works. You just need to shift the message tone.
- Focus on POV descriptions
Use phrasing like "you’ll feel like you're right here" or "from your eyes only." - Talk about sensations, not visuals
Let the fan imagine what they can’t see.
Example:
“I got on my knees for this… You’ll know what I mean when you feel it 👀 [locked]”

Bonus: Follow-Up Scripts That Boost Re-Opens
One of the most overlooked parts of PPV sales is the follow-up. Don’t just send and forget. Here’s how to follow up without sounding desperate.
1 Hour Later:
"Some of you didn’t open my last message. I’m not mad… just shocked 😳 You’re missing out."
Next Day:
"Not sending this again. But if you missed it—check your inbox. That’s all I’m saying."
You’ll be surprised how many fans buy after the second message. Especially if your first tease hit just right.
