ManyVids: What to Know Before Choosing Your Adult Content Platform!

Platform & Audience

ManyVids is quite different from the subscription-centric platforms. It’s a full-service adult content marketplace. I still felt it should have a mention thrown in here as it is a fantastic all around option. Launched in 2014, ManyVids started as a clip store for selling videos on demand, and it has grown into a “one-stop shop” for adult creators. The site attracts heavy traffic from porn consumers; creators often favor ManyVids because it has huge visitor numbers and built-in traffic (users actively browse the site for new videos or models). In fact, ManyVids functions more like an adult e-commerce site: fans can browse categories, search for models or niches, and see Top Rankings or trending videos on the homepage. This internal promotion is a big advantage. Like with Fansly, a creator with no social media could still potentially get discovered on ManyVids due to its high volume of users looking to buy content. (By contrast, OnlyFans pages are hidden unless you market them yourself.) ManyVids is open to creators of all genders and orientations, and it fosters a community vibe with contests and rankings. To benefit, creators need to upload regularly and participate in the site’s promotions, as consistency boosts sales on ManyVids.

Features & Selling Format

Unlike pure subscription platforms, ManyVids offers multiple ways to monetize: creators can sell individual videos (clips), set up subscription-based fan clubs, offer live cam shows, sell physical products or merch, and even charge for services like custom videos or live sessions. You’re essentially running a personal online storefront. Creators have control over pricing for each item:

Clips/Videos: You upload videos that fans can purchase and download/stream. You set the price per video. Give this video a watch for a run down on how to upload videos.
Subscriptions: ManyVids has a fanclub feature (formerly “MV Crush” or Membership) where fans pay a monthly fee for VIP access to your feed/content. This makes ManyVids an OnlyFans-like subscription hub if you choose, but it’s optional.
Live Cam Streams: ManyVids integrates live streaming (often called MV Live). Creators can go on cam and earn from viewer tips or paid private shows, similar to cam sites.
Custom Content and Services: You can list custom clip offerings or paid sexting sessions, etc., and fans can order through the platform. ManyVids also facilitated selling tangible items (such as merch, they no longer allow worn physical garment sales).
Messaging & Interaction: ManyVids allows direct messages with fans. You can charge for unlocking message photos/videos, and also earn via video call features.
- ManyVids regularly runs contests and promotions that give creators extra exposure (e.g. themed video contests where top sellers get cash prizes and front-page features). This internal promotional machine, plus the site’s large established user base, means ManyVids can generate sales from organic site traffic. This is a big difference from the self-promotion grind on fanclub-only sites.

Payout & Commission

ManyVids uses a more complex commission structure. The platform’s base commission is 20%, similar to the others, but depending on what you sell, the platform’s cut can be higher. In fact, ManyVids takes 40% on certain sales. In practice:

Clip Sales (Videos): Creators receive 60% of the sale price (ManyVids keeps 40%). The high cut is akin to traditional clip sites and covers the bandwidth/hosting costs of delivering videos.
Subscriptions, Tips, and Services: ManyVids takes a smaller cut (around 20%) for other transactions like fan club subscriptions, customer tips, and custom content fees.

ManyVids’ payout schedule is weekly on wednesdays. That is, as long as you reach the minimum payout of $50. ManyVids supports methods like direct deposit, ACH, wire, and Paxum. It will usually take 3-5 business days for a payout to hit your bank.

Content Policy

ManyVids is an adult site that allows explicit pornographic content, but because it relies on standard payment processors, it must enforce content restrictions similar to OnlyFans’. Any illegal or truly extreme content is prohibited. ManyVids requires age verification for all performers and has strict rules against underage content, bestiality, real violence, etc. In terms of fetish content, ManyVids’ policies historically have been a bit more liberal than OnlyFans’ approach, but they still have to comply with credit card guidelines. For instance, depictions of consensual hardcore BDSM are allowed, to a point, but certain “edge” fetishes may be disallowed or require a disclaimer. Recently ManyVids did tighten restrictions on allowed content, specifically recently barring the sale of worn garments along with a few fetishes. Creators have noted that ManyVids does not allow bodily fluids like urine, feces, or vomit in videos, and likely disallows blood-play or extreme torture, as these would violate Mastercard rules (this aligns with what OnlyFans bans). ManyVids also has rules about public content – you can post outdoor nude/sex videos, but only if filmed on private property or in a way no unsuspecting public are involved (similar to Fansly’s stance). One advantage: ManyVids, being a platform “by and for” adult creators (the founders have roots in the industry), has a sex-positive reputation and has not threatened to ban porn. They actively celebrate all niches “regardless of your niche or how you express yourself”, as long as it’s legal. In summary, ManyVids allows creators to sell a broad range of adult content and fetish material, with restrictions mainly dictated by law and payment policy (so effectively similar hard lines as OnlyFans on things like non-consent, incest, extreme violence, etc.). Creators focusing on vanilla or moderate fetishes will find ManyVids accommodating, but more extreme fetish creators might still feel constrained by these necessary rules.
