We turned on the new AI chatter on our own Fanvue account and looked at the first 8 days. It's one AI model on one account, so it's a small sample. The numbers are real, though, and the question they raise is worth working through properly.
The numbers
- 645 paid offers sent, 64 bought, 24 buyers
- $1,865 gross, about $29 average sale
- Scripts: $37.61 average
- Single PPVs: $20.63 average
- Follow-up resends: $22.95 average
- Premium: one sale at $159.59
- Tips: 3, average $45.58
So a script sale came in at about 1.8 times a single PPV. A script is a free tease followed by PPVs that build on each other. A single is one set, offered on its own.
Why scripts should sell for more
The price is earned step by step. By the second step he's already said yes once. The question in his head has moved from "do I buy from her" to "do I want the next part". That second question costs a lot less trust than a fresh offer.
The story does some of the work. The free picture starts something. Each paid step answers a bit of it and opens the next. A single has to carry the whole sale alone.
Price follows momentum. A step's price depends on what he just paid. A guy who's buying sees the number move up with him, while a single often has to start over from a cold moment.
The timing is usually better. A script tends to run while he's in the mood and paying attention. Singles often show up later, in quieter moments.
Why we don't trust the gap yet
Four things could be flattering that $37.61.
One guy. One fan made about 72% of those 8 days, $1,345 of $1,865. He's a great whale story and a terrible sample. Whichever kind of sale he bought most of looks better than it really is. Before you quote a $37.61 script average, you'd want to know how much of it is one man.
Maths. Later steps cost more by design. So part of the higher average is the climb itself. A script's first paid step might well be priced like a single.
Average sale isn't money per offer. This is the big one. A higher price tells you nothing about how often it sold. If scripts sold half as often per offer, the $37.61 could earn less than the $20.63. The figures we have for these 8 days are averages per sale, so they can't settle that question.
Different guys, different moments. Comparing sale types compares different guys in different moods. That's why we run a proper split: guys go into a scripts group or a singles group, and every guy stays in his group for good. That's the test that will answer the question. It needs far more than 8 days and 64 sales before it says anything.
What we'd do with this today
Scripts cost next to nothing to set up, so you don't need proof before trying them. A vault folder becomes a script by itself. The downside is close to zero and the logic is sound.
Don't drop singles, though. They're how you answer a guy who asked for one specific thing, and they keep selling after a script has run out. In 8 days, the follow-up resends also did $22.95 a sale on average, so a second chance on the right offer isn't small money either.
How to read your own numbers
- Read every stat twice, with and without your top buyer. If the story changes, it was his story.
- Compare money per fan who got the offer. Average sale price flatters anything expensive.
- Split fans, not days. A guy who gets both kinds of offer tells you nothing about either.
- Keep each guy in one group for good. Moving him around ruins the test and confuses him.
- Write down how many sales sit behind each number. Under a hundred, treat it as a hint and say so when you repeat it.
