As many adult content creators flee from ManyVids, which has become quite the problematic site, a new platform has burst onto the adult scene and so far, is looking like a very promising addition and alternative to our roster of sites.
In this post, I'll be focusing on the creator experience of YourVids and all the features we have available to us. Be sure to check out my next post, Follow Me on YourVids, to find out more about my YourVids and some of the cool stuff I'm offering for you to spoil yourself with.
The Features on YourVids
Videos
As a creator, I'm always looking for ways to offer up my video clips and YourVids video store is pretty darn close to perfect. Every video goes through a manual review process, which typically takes about an hour and a bit right now as they onboard so many creators. There are a variety of options available when you are adding videos including auto-generated thumbnails and previews (or you can upload your own).
You can highlight up to 3 videos in your store once they are active and the above image shows the audiences you can cater to (there is currently a big community discussion about this section as they flesh out the needs of creators and fans).
One of the most intriguing aspects of YourVids is that creators get to keep 100% of their earnings. The catch: fans pay an additional fee at checkout to make up for the sites service charges.
After you save the initial information about your video (title, description, tags, previews, price, etc.), you will be able to select additional settings including:
Disabling the video preview for all viewers
Muting the video preview sound for non-purchasers
Hiding the video preview unless the user has previously purchased from you
Hiding the video preview on social media (although it will still show the thumbnail)
Adding your video to the VIP Library
Marking your video as audio only
Allowing users to only stream your videos
I have found that because of the review process, your videos can sometimes publish out of order. Luckily, this is a relatively easy fix as YourVids has a content order feature where you can adjust the ordering of your offerings in your video store, boutique and bundles.
Fans can heart, comment on and wishlist your videos so that they can come back later to find them.
Boutique
The boutique is where you can sell digital goods. YourVids has a physical goods option that is disabled, although I've seen discussion on their forums (more about that in a minute) that they are wary of actually offering physical items because of payment processor limitations (no surprise). We'll see what happens there.
As with videos, both boutique items and bundles will go through a manual review. I've found that this takes way less time than video reviews. When you add boutique items, you can categorize them with tags and each tag has a maximum amount you can charge.
The current tags include:
Audio
Dick Rating
Digital Goods
GFE (Girlfriend Experience)
Messaging Access (Snapchat, Discord, etc.)
Photos
Sexting
Video Call
Custom Video
Other
Spoil Me
If you ever wanted to see the serious creativity of sex workers, I highly recommend scrolling through the boutique. So many good ideas and content offerings!
You can limit the amount of stock you have and you can also auto-deliver content, which is perfect for photosets.
Finally and probably most exciting is the ability to add-on to your boutique items. So for example, I have daily photo offers in my boutique. So I can offer 1 day of daily photos as my base price and then add-on 7, 14 and 30 day options. I've seen some incredibly creative uses of the add-ons feature. If your boutique item also appears in your videos, you can link the two.
Bundles
Building bundles on YourVids is so easy and allows you to sell groups of your content. For example, all your videos featuring feet can be bundled into a foot bundle.
As soon as your videos are active, you can bundle them up. As you add videos, YourVids tallies up the price so you can easily decide what to sell your bundle for and you can limit how many bundles are available or how long the bundle is available for.
Bundles are intended for pre-built bundles but you can offer build-your-own bundles or mix and match bundles in your boutique.
Customs
Who doesn't love an included custom ordering/delivery system? For those of us who offer customs, this is a seriously amazing feature!
You can offer video, photoset or audio customs. You set a base price per minute or per photo and then you set your price for additional minutes or photos. For videos, you can choose between 5 - 60 minutes, for audio between 5 - 30 minutes and for photosets between 5 - 50 photos. You can also charge for better resolution and delivery timeframes.
The best part is the add-on feature. You can charge extra for name mentions, exclusivity and set up additional options like "pick my outfit, hairstyle, make-up, etc.". They have recently updated this so that you can also offer free add-ons.
YourFeed
Everything you add to YourVids - videos, bundles, boutique items - are auto-posted to YourFeed, but you can also add text, photo and .GIF posts.
This is a great way to let fans know about upcoming videos or discounts or just what you've got going on in your day-to-day. YourFeed is also great for internal promotion as you will show up in fans feeds available from the main page of YourVids.
Messenger
YourVids has built in messaging capabilities as well. You can charge for messaging, allow users to send you a limited number of free messages and set the price for text and audio messages. I haven't played with messages on the site much yet but you can add photos and schedule messages and there is talk of eventually adding mass messaging in the forums. I'll update this section as I learn more.
Promo
YourVids has many options for internal promotion including the aforementioned YourFeed, creators pages, discovery on the videos and boutiques pages and a very active community (I promise, I'll delve into it shortly). They also have two promotional options available to creators: Promo Codes and urLinks.
Promo Codes
You can offer promo codes for your videos, boutique items or custom videos that allows users to get a percentage discount on your content. You also get to title your promo code to whatever you'd like, for example, MARCH2026 or SUMMERSALE.
My first promo code is LAUNCH2026 and let's you get 10% off my videos and customs until the end of March 2026.
urLinks
Whether you're offering benefits for regular buyers or fulfilling bundle orders from the boutique, sending out a urLink to a user will give them access to the videos you select for free. You will be able to select how many times the link can be used, limit who can use the link and also email a user the link.
Referrals
Share your referral link to earn when other creators or fans sign up on YourVids. For every creator you refer, you get $20 and you get 30% on fans who sign up for VIP and 10% for fans who turn rebill on. Use your referral code on your socials, link websites, blogs, etc.

Community
I've been blathering on about this particular feature because so far, it has been a huge resource for me as I learn the site and I imagine many creators are going to benefit from it. However, it's not just for creators. Fans will also find a lot of useful and engaging content within the community.
Not only are there live chatrooms, there are also public and creator-only forums where you can request features, report bugs, discuss content, show appreciation for your favorite fans and creators, plus so much more!
Creators have recently organized community movie nights, you'll get tons of behind-the-scenes information about how the site works and you'll get clarification on some of the terms of service. There are many active moderators in the community, so your questions get answered very fast and the creators are very active. It's a great section for networking, advice, fetish research and so much more! Highly recommend.
Analytics
Creators have access to a huge variety of analytics that will help you discover what is working best on YourVids.
You can see an overview of how many views your getting and what content is selling. You can find out where your visitors and fans are coming from. You'll get detailed stats about your content including videos, bundles and boutique items. You can see where in the world people are viewing from and probably most interesting is the Leads analytics, where you can see exactly who is viewing your content right now and which users have engaged with your profile and content.
I definitely suggest taking a moment to peruse YourVids' Success Secrets, which will guide you through a lot of the analytics-related features available and give you ideas on how to use the analytics to your advantage.
Payouts
Payouts are available for US and International sellers. They've recently added Cosmopay and Paxum and Crypto are coming soon. Below is a list of available payout options and if you are a creator, you can head to Settings > Payouts to see fees, minimum payouts and processing time.
As I've said a few times now, YourVids is an incredibly promising new site for adult content creators who offer clips, customs and digital goods. They take suggestions seriously and are currently constantly improving various features on their site. They've also managed to make most features easy-to-use, easy-to-understand and easy-to-master. Their internal promotion and community features also open up doors for networking, collaborations and discoverability.
