How to build a Fansly tip menu that actually gets tipped
A tip menu is a price list of small actions fans can pay for: "$5 for a kiss video", "$10 for a custom photo". Most creators either skip the tip menu entirely or stuff it with 30 items and 5 prices for each. The generator outputs a clean menu; this guide shows what makes one actually convert.
The 7-12 item rule
Tip menus with fewer than 7 items feel sparse and don't cover the request range. Menus with more than 12 overwhelm fans into picking nothing. Generate 7-12 items: 2-3 cheap items ($3-$10), 3-5 mid-price ($15-$30), 1-2 premium ($50-$100). The mid-price range carries 60% of tip revenue.
Pricing anchors matter more than absolute prices
A $5 item next to a $25 item makes $25 feel reasonable. A $5 item next to $10 makes $10 feel expensive. Most tip menus underprice the premium tier — set one item at $100 even if it's rarely bought. It anchors everything else.
Pin it where fans actually see it
Tip menu in your pinned post or first welcome DM. Most fans never scroll your full feed — if the tip menu is buried, it does not exist. The generator outputs a copy-paste version; paste it into your pinned post on day one.
Rotate quarterly
After 3 months, look at which items got tipped. Drop the bottom 2 (they're dead weight signaling). Add 2 new items reflecting fan interest patterns. Keeping a tip menu evergreen keeps fans engaged who have already tipped — they're your highest-LTV segment.
