I think I would love that! Funny, weird and fucked up would sure be right up my alley! I will watch some of it at Starbucks while I troll! #trannyatstarbucks #starbucks
It popped up on reddit yesterday. Which led me to watch the movie. It's fucking HILARIOUS and WEIRD. Also the Japanese also make the best fucked up movies.

I'm on MFC right now, and was contemplating hopping on SM instead because it is sooooooooooooo sllllllllooooooowwwwwwww.
Lots of dudes at the zoo gawking and moving on, one guy who wanted to be my Daddy that was grossing me out and did the "your loss" thing because he's tipped me a total of 30tks this past month.
Hrmmmm… what to do?

I was able to make $80 the last hour I put in. How I did it? I ignored people and was having the time of my life surfing the internet and chit chating a bit w/ Snowy.
I guess some dudes were like this.

So many people just want to "talk" or get "warmed up." FUCK YOU this isn't leg day at the gym. This is the sex business. Foreplay is included in the paid session.
Upside: I made a $1.08 as soon as I logged in. *smashes dildo hysterically*

IDK if my rates are where they should be. As I gain more experience and add to my toy/lingerie collection I think I should raise it. I am currently at $2.99/$3.99. I'm starting to think I'm worth at least .50-$1.00 more for my category. I do really well with ass&thigh worship, cuckolds, and being dominated. I am not however very good with most roleplays outside that spectrum and I am a total fail at dominating. I'm getting better but I'm too much a natural sweetie/submissive. I've had ONE good SPH show. Must keep practicing. Should I work the angle of my natural talent? I will continue to play with growing my expertise. I am confident with my current rates, I know I am worth at least that. I have a good cam and an average computer. I have to stream at low quality on the encoder or it crashes. (I'll be upgrading the comp as soon as I can). Thoughts? I love the advise you ladies give! I would be sooooo lost without this forum.

RAISE THOSE RATES BABY!! You are DEF. worth more than 2.99/3.99 no matter what you offer :) You're a luxury, and if they can't afford to pay what you're worth than you're out of their league anyway. My advice with any fetish type roles that you want to practice is to let the guy know that you're willing to learn if they're willing to guide you! A lot of guys like this because they can mold you into their fetish fantasy queeeeen, and you get practice and some tips! It's what I did with roleplay and now it's one of my top sellers in exclusive. Mess around with your rates.. I say go a couple of dollars higher.. it's always easier to lower rates once they are set than raise them again. Mine are set at 7.99/9.99 and who knows when my boss decides to give me a raise.... oh wait! I AM MY BOSS! ;)

Ok so I raised my rates a dollar. That was kinda terrifiying. But I got a show right away. Ok ok it was only 3 mins. But I look at how I made more in that 3 mins from the rate hike. No complaints yet. I feel more confident too. I feel like a 3.99/4.99 girl.

Trust me, Alyssa, higher rates will bring you better customers! You know, only rich people can afford luxury products.
I started with 2.29 (everybody starts with it in my studio). Right now I am at 6.49. And very rarely somebody takes me pvt for 2 min. Cheapers are not interested in me anymore, because they can't afford not even those 2 min.
I always tell them : "Camming is a social risk, if you guys can't make that shit worth it, I can masturbate on my own without wondering if my dad or my kid will ever find me on Pornhub."

So yes. Raised my rates a dollar and I've had the same % of time in private, but more longer sessions. And the quality of customers has drastically improved. Of course this is only one day of stats, but so far I am seeing the value in the rate raising.

04-26-2015, 07:01 AM
I'm sure all ladies here are worth $20/min and it would be great if we could all charge that, but sadly, it's much harder to keep a good pvt time with higher rates. If 6.49 works for you, that's great, but it's hard to make any generalization here. Not everybody can do it and depends on a lot of factors, really. My general rule is, that I stick with rates, that bring me the most money.
If you are busy with current rates, try to raise them for $1, wait for a couple of days, and see what happens. But if you can't get pvts at a higher rate for longer periods of time no matter what else you try or do, you might have to think about it and rationalize, maybe try lowering for $1 to see if it makes any difference.
For me, sitting for hours in free chat without a single pvt, is not a fetish, so I change my rates often from 2.50-4.50. If SM is busy, I raise them, if I can't get a pvt for 2 or more hours, I lower them. Over 4.50 I can't get a pvt no matter what, so I just stopped trying. I always get 2-3 people in pvt, so it adds up money-wise. My excl is 7.99 for that reason. I get excl from time to time, but its pretty rare.

^^^ Of course, we all have an upper limit to what we can realistically charge. I think the point here is that we shouldn't be afraid to find out what that limit is. In order to find your "sweet spot" with rates vs. time spent in free chat you'll have to do a lot of experimenting with higher rates, and that can seem scary.
There is also something to be said for staying away from low rates since that does attract rude, demanding customers. And more importantly, it tends to drive away the *good* customers.

04-26-2015, 11:17 AM
I've started my rates at 4.99/5.99 just to see how that goes! I don't offer all that much but I'm great company! If my traffic is still slow all week then I'll lower them but I want to give the good ones enough time to find me first before I decide if it's worth it.

Good idea Ivy, and I use it all the time when a guy asks for roleplay or fetish I'm not familiar with. I tell him honestly I'm not experienced with it, but I'm willing to have fun with it and learn if he'd like to help me. I'll do my best! How else do you learn? plus the chemistry grows between you and a possible regular. At least give it a shot, be nice and suggest it. About rates, I made the decision to raise my rates a month ago after slowly inching them up every week. After several weeks of raising them by 5 little cents... I finally thought, shit, I'll just go for it and put them right where I've always wanted them. I felt sooo much better about myself. And I know by checking out what other models do and charge, to what I do and charge, it's what's best for me. So I feel so much better about myself and that reflects out towards your custies. They feel your confidence and happiness. You're worth it AlyssaJane!

Ha! Wouldn't it be funny if all the in and outs on sm are models trying to compare rates, hahahaha.
Haha. I can't even have a customer account on there. :( RO is banned from the website. Apparently they had too many hacked accounts from my country. Even if you live somewhere else, travel to RO and try to log from here, you can't. They actually suspend your account if you do it. So, the best I can do is change the ip and watch girls without an account, which mostly is pointless. If you are a newbie is totally cool to check the website, to see how things work and etc, because every platform is different, but after you gain experience is like stalking. "I wonder what that bitch will wear today?" or "Fucking shit, that's my customer too. You damn whore!"
The whole thing with my rates came from my best regular. He checked some girls around my position and saw that most of them had at least $7 for premium, when I was $4 something. So I started adding little by little and I don't feel sorry about it. After all, I am more of a gold show girl, so why not make pvts worth it?
But as Scarlett said, is better to try multiple prices and see what fits you best and your customer's pockets. But don't go with big raisings, you don't wanna scare them, add with time. I used to put around $0.50 every few weeks. For the moment I stopped at 6.49. Probably 6.99 will be at the end of june.

Quick question - why are some members green on streamate? I was in pvt and a member whose name was in green came into my room and stayed for like 35 mins while I was in pvt, but then didn't speak to me at all when I went back into free chat. I've not seen this before and wondered what it means them being green? xxx

I have read that other sites these were signs indicating a guest has money on his account. But on Streamate as you know, guys need to sign up with a cc to get a screen name, and there is no way to tell how much money he has. Maybe Streamate is making changes?:O

Do you have the external button on your account?
There was a vulnerability with that a few years ago, does anyone know if it was patched?

I haven't been in private in the last little while, I haven't gone on break or done a gold show or anything.

Check the tool called " My Ranking" in your profile. The only moment when I dropped that much, almost a page, was when I had problems with my MS, which involves connection issues. Sometimes I fall a line or two if I have under 80h per month. Tell us how are your stats over there.
