New “Pay to Open” Feature

You're going to love this

Introducing Pay to Open – a new feature where MV Stars can send personalized content to a Member within any of their 3 Inbox tabs - ‘MV Crush Notes’, ‘MV Flyer’ or ‘Messages’ for an extra fee that has to be paid in order to access this exclusive content. 

To send Pay to Open content, you can click the mail icon located in the upper right corner on desktop and in the drop-down menu on mobile. This will bring you to your inbox and you’ll be able to toggle between the 3 tabs to decide where/who you want to send your content to: 

  • MV Crush Notes – Send Pay to Open content to all of your MV Crush Club subscribers! 

  • MV Flyer – Send Pay to Open content to all of your followers! 

  • Messages – Send Pay to Open content directly to the MV Member(s) of your choice! 

If you plan on using the Pay to Open feature in your MV Crush Notes tab, you will receive the 90% payout as part of the 12-month MV Crush Club payout promotion. However, the payout will remain at 60% for Pay to Open content sent within the MV Flyer or ‘Messages’ tabs 

This new Pay to Open option is accessible and fun to use for both MV Stars and MV Members. 

When using Pay to Open, the MV Member is not charged, and no revenue is collected, until the Member unlocks and purchases the content.    

Along with this new feature, we’ve introduced some fantastic additional improvements to Messages, MV Crush Club and MV Flyer - all accessible via the MV Inbox: 

  • A newly added progress bar allows MV Stars to keep track of the upload progress when attaching a vid or pic to a message. Upload speeds will also see an improvement of up to 10x vs the previous speed. 

  • All uploaded MV Crush Club content will now be unblurred for both the MV Star and the subscribed Member when viewing this content via the ‘MV Crush Notes’ tab.  

  • An MV Star can now upload multiple pics to Private Messages, MV Crush Club, and MV Flyer. The pics will be presented as gallery thumbnails and can be clicked on to view the larger versions. 

  • A video file can now be uploaded and added to a private message. 

The response to our most recent MV Crush Club updates has been overwhelmingly positive. And, since adding new features to benefit our MV Stars is a big part of what we do, we’re never going to stop! 

We know the entire MV Community is going to LOVE this and if you’re excited to help us to spread the word about this newest MV upgradeRe-Tweet our pinned Tweet! And make sure to check out and follow our new MV Crush Club Twitter account at: Twitter.com/MVCrushClub

Manyvids your kinda getting too big for your britches kinda much for a SW who started this site here for said % reasons. Bella wth?!

I didn't realize you take 40% instead of 20%, it's not really fair...

PrizmDancer Jan 2021

I didn't realize you guys took 40% from the pay to open option in messages. I am never using that feature again, that is such bullshit.

Can we send free messages to our followers? Like for example why would I make someone pay to open a message to discuss a custom? I’m new so I didn’t see a way to send it for free.

Excited to try this! :D So excited to use MV Crush & MV Flyers!

Feel free to try this feature on me

I, for one, see a tiny problem with this. As content creators, you dictate what can be seen for how much. This would really good for things like FinDom. However, this morning I got one of these PTO messages from someone who was making a cold call, trying to drum up more traffic to her page. Didn't know who she was, never bought any content from her, and here she is demanding I pay her to open the message, which I was told was 12 pictures. So, I looked her up, saw her content was nothing I was interested in, and deleted it. 

My point is you should have at least a "Hi there. Take a look at my page" before sending out the PTO message. Like I said, for some things, it will work. Introductions, not so much.

Awesome update!

Thank you for this MV! Can you clarify about MV crush, if the 90% payout is only for a limited time? That’s my understanding....Also, please make pay to open videos/pics listed on the crush before people sign up as well! So they can see how many they may get or not!

Brea Rose Oct 2019

I think they said it’s at 90% for one year 😊

I love the multiple images in MV Crush now!! :A:A:A

i loved it, but the members and crushes need to ve notified when we upload a new vid or pic, just my opinion. Thanks MV 😍😘

Jada Kai Oct 2019

wait I thought that crushes get pics and vids directly

firestk Oct 2019

As far as I've seen, only direct messaging warrants an alert.

buttercupally deleted Oct 2019

I agree! I feel like so many people miss out on posts because they forget to check. Having them directly notified every time we post something would really help in more ways than one.

Pixel_Punk Oct 2019

We do get notifications for new Crushes but a new message from inbox gets priority so if I have two unread messages then it wont show the notifications for my new MV crush posts until I read those messages!

YES! ♥ ♥ i have been a long-time fan of pay-to-view dirty emails in NF ... and now, pay-to-open (same diff) comes to MV! This is a great way to monetize erotic interactivity. my only advice to MV Stars is this: please don't spam us with unsolicited pay to open stuff. When a customer asks for it, yes. Thanks ManyVids!*hugs*  ♥ ♥ xoxoxo

Fricking amazing!!

BoundGirlXO Oct 2019

this is confusing me, it seems to be the same as MVCrush? xx

Is cool and now I see, can upload 12 pics per time. Videos could be larger than 5 minutes?

the0nefrank deleted Oct 2019

I would like to see how long a locked video is or how many pics are locked. Looking through MV Flyer I don’t see a length of video when it asks me to pay to see a video.

TrueSexBomb Oct 2019

It`s wonderful!

foxxxette18 Oct 2019

Oh yes that sounds good! Thank you MV for the good work!

These are great additions! I will definitely be testing some of it out.

Bootydevine Oct 2019

GREEEAT updates!! Loving that now you instantly watch the MV Crush content instead of the lock like before! For the Pay To View Message, I will NOT use it on MV Crush, will ONLY use it on DMs since I get waaaay to many timewasters "Members" etc, with this, now im gonna know which Members wants to do business!!! Thanks MV Love Ya!!😍💕💕

Yes!!!

Great idea but completely agree about sending pay per view content to those already paying to view in MV Crush! I won't use that, surely people won't want to pay again after subscribing, isn't that the point to subscribe and access the content within that cost? I do like it for messages though!

A lot of performers utilize it on OF to send longer, more exclusive content that maybe isn’t worth a whole vid upload but also worth more than the monthly price. I haven’t tried the method yet but it seems profitable!

Aspen Snow Oct 2019

Not sure about paying to open Crush stuff. People already pay to join Crush. 😥

Support - MV Team
Support - MV Team deleted Oct 2019

Hi Aspen Snow! Your concern is valid. Please keep in mind your MV Crush Club would be the same, but you could also add additional content that your fans could pay to open. It's completely optional for them, and for you too. :)

Ellie Idol Oct 2019

That's how I feel. I'm not going to charge my fans who are ALREADY paying.

Love these changes , great updates thank you !

So if we submit a pay to view picture or video to our MV crush will that show up like the other videos do in the little box where it shows how many pics and videos we have? I already see a few members concerned about this and I can understand why. You pay for MV crush to see what's behind that pay wall, to pay for something like that and to be met with another paywall is a bit crummy from a members prescriptive. I understand it's everyone's choice to use that or not and personally I don't see myself using it but I just hope this doesn't discourage members from joining Crush memberships. That being said, I LOVE all of the other changes, the pay to view for messages and flyers are an amazing idea and I can think of so many uses for that along with being able to send videos directly to members inboxes. <3 Also, I'm thrilled that MV crush posts will now be un-blurred to members who join!

To your point, as I member, I gotta say that is something that really bums me out. When you pay for a subscription claiming "full access", only to find out that you have to pay to unlock almost every single videos, that you don't even know the content either because there's no previews or a really vague description. I know a lot of people do it on OF, but imagine you subscribe for a one month Netflix subscription, and I tell you you have to pay to unlock every movies and/or tv shows, and that at varying prices and basically all you get with your subscriptions, is bunch of 7 secs previews of the corresponding movies or tv shows that you have to unlock to watch! That's how it feels like! So the one month subscription basically mean nothing. People are doing it on OF all the time, but it's really something that I dislike quite a bit.

I completely agree. My hope is that they won't have PTO videos and pics listed the same way they have regular pictures and videos listed in the little box on our profile. That way someone doesn't subscribe to someone's crush thinking they have 10 videos but then find that they have to pay to watch the other 5 of them. If it's clearly listed what you get access to when subscribing vs what's PTO within that, I don't see that as much of an issue so I just hope the way they choose to display it is clear and not misleading.

:A Thank you for this MV! Can you clarify about MV crush, if the 90% payout is only for a limited time? That’s my understanding....

Cattie Oct 2019

LOVE these upgrades!! I noticed the new Crush layout and was screaming! Also noticed how much faster it was. #Bless <3

Esovir Oct 2019

This kind of screws over Members doesn't it? So now we have to pay more to see content that we're already paying to see. I'm confused. Say I'm paying $5.99 a month for Crush. Are you telling me that now I'll have to pay extra money to see the Crush content that I'm already paying for? And now I also have to pay to see things in Flyer? Gotta say this is one of the shittier things you guys have done

Cattie Oct 2019

I think you're misunderstanding. Not ALL messages will be pay to open. Only if a model decides to send out something as so. I can't imagine any model making everything they send out being pay to open constantly. But say... a model has a surprise video/photo or even a promo code, etc they want to send out - pay to open would be an ideal promotional tool for so. Not everyone is going to enjoy this feature but, you're not obligated to partake in it either.

No no! The model can decide if it is pay to open, so maybe for example a model posts a video in her mv crush for a discounted price like 5$ or whatever right? That way you could get the content for cheaper and get new content all month / as long as you are a crush member!

Esovir Oct 2019

Ok this makes a little more sense. The way they worded it seemed like everything was going to have an extra attached fee to it

wow, I appreciate this so much. Its awesome how manyvids is working everyday to keep adding better features in here, looking forward for a better user experience at the MV crush for models. Keep it up. LOVE U MANYVIDS

Kateskurves Oct 2019

I’m confused is it not 90% payout? It looks like it’s saying that I have to use the pay per message feature in order to get that! I might be reading it wrong I’m just confused. I thought that your Twitter retweet thing said that if we got to 1500 retweets we would get 90% on all crush  club stuff.

Hotguy_86 Oct 2019

you get 90 % payout for the MV Crush and 90 % payout too for using the Pay to Open Option there

Kateskurves Oct 2019

Ahh ok thanks so much!

Asia_Drake Oct 2019

Such a great feature! I noticed it last night🥰

im actually excited about this cuz we can offer content to MV Crush users at a lower price! Like vids and pic sets we release! xo

Hotguy_86 Oct 2019

so we already pay for the MV Crush Club to see the Content posted there and now there are added Pay to Open Messages too?? What is the reason then for the MV Crush Club, when there are things we have to additional pay for to see them in the MV Crush Club...... The Pay to Open Option is probably a good Idea for the MV Flyer and Private Messages,  but i dont think it´s a great Idea for the MV Crush Club......

Hotguy_86 Oct 2019

Don't get me wrong, the Pay to Open Option is probably great for The Flyer or Private Messages, where you can decide by your own if you pay to see the posted Content or not, i just think paying extra and kind of missing out Content, because of that, when you already pay for to see the MV Crush posted Content is too much in my Eyes..

Camran Mac Oct 2019

I also thought about it. I do not think it's a good idea. people join MV Crush Club to access all the videos but they don’t want to pay more money to watch;)
