Fair 2026 US amateur model rates / best deal structure? - GoFuckYourself.com

Hi guys,

We have produced adult content in Europe for many years, and we are now researching production in the US.

I asked AI for a rough estimate of current US amateur model rates, and it gave me these numbers. I want to sanity-check them with people actually producing or buying content in the US.

The rough numbers were:

- Solo photo/video amateur test shoot: $300-$500
- Solo nude photo/video with commercial release: $500-$800
- POV-style solo/custom content: $500-$1,000
- G/G amateur content: $700-$1,200 per model
- B/G amateur content: female $800-$1,500+, male $300-$800
- More experienced / agency performer: $1,500+ depending on content and usage

This assumes verified 18+ models, proper ID/release/2257, testing where needed, and commercial usage rights.

Does this sound realistic for 2026 US direct amateur bookings from ads / SexyJobs / creator platforms?

Also, what is the best way to structure a good deal with amateurs without overpaying but still being fair and professional?

For example:
- fixed shoot fee vs hourly
- lower fee plus edited content for her OF/Fansly
- travel covered separately
- repeat booking discounts
- exclusive vs non-exclusive rights
- commercial resale rights vs content only for her page

In Europe we have our own benchmarks, but I assume the US market may be different, especially NY / East Coast, Vegas, Miami, and LA.

What are people actually paying today, and what deal structure works best?

Thanks.

You will have the same problem as you have in Europe.... All good looking babes stay at home and do OF. The rest for the most part are over tattooed, over Botoxed, over surgery enhanced bimbos and because there is NOBODY left, then US will be the same= overpriced... and BTW: any smart amateur is also on OF, the smartest married to sugar daddies ... and only the bimbos ( see above definition) are left. But good luck anyway
