6.99/7.99 here, want to increase that to 8.99/9.99 by the end of the year.

Sure it looks a lot per minute for the guys, but it isn’t a lot for me by the time I get it.

$7.99/$8.99

I have to wait for shows, but I usually don't mind. I rarely attract trolls & have only heard I'm too expensive a handful of times since having those rates (1 yr+). The members I attract are plenty respectful & tip on top.

I did well at $8.99/$9.99 from July 2020 - Nov 2020 then dropped them back down due to a slump. Planning to go up again soon.

Avg I've seen for pvt seems to be $5.99 & $6.99 for excl when I checked model's rates before raising.

especially since they don’t tip and they try to bust a nut in a minute after doing a show I saw I made $25! I use to make $25 for one song and now a guy is busting his nut for the same...no!

Shit, I'm waay below on rates..was using an older lappie, I finally started using my Asus.
Too low too low.
Believe it or not, I get a few "too expensive" complaints::)

I haven't tried the encoder, Im still getting used to Win10 & my lappie.
But I plan to:)

Oh, HI Buffy Flame!

Oh, HI Buffy Flame!
I started at the default of $2.50 or whatever it was, and had people complaining then too! Ha. Fuck, I was earning complete pennies then and working myself to the bone. Was clueless. My gold menu was cheap af too, that’s now increased and I probably get more tips now than I did when it was cheaper, likely because they don’t want to pay my ppm rate mind, but it suits me.

On the topic of raising rates

Honestly, anyone who has money won’t complain. It has to do with their lack mentality and entitlement. When my trainer raised his rates I said, “good for you.” I offer great service. People who want high quality experiences won’t complain about price. Only cheapskates. That doesn’t mean I’m not disappointed when I can’t afford something, but I don’t ever get pissy at someone for charging what they are worth. If anything the more money we women have to more we are empowered. When women win with money the world is a better place. Woman are more likely to spend their money in socially conscious ways. I’m taking a money mindset class next week. I hope it’ll boost my confidence to ask for gold and raise my rates.

Id be shooting myself in the foot if I compared my rates to others.

i like the cheaper guys. when i have low rates for private they load in. it averages more than my exclusive
guys that went for the higher private price before (5.99-6.99) 90% of them go exclusive when I lower my private. its like they did not feel obligated to spend more?
I go by my hourly rate


I used my passport in the past. it expired so I used my DL
I think it is adultwork that doesn't allow passports

Mine's 6,99 and 9,99 excl.

From what i have seen it's about average. Maybe other ladies will chip in so we can compare with a bigger sample xx

My exact same rates but flipped. They eat up my $6.99 EXL. clearly because it's cheaper. Also, they don't have to share and I feel they stay longer when it's 1 on 1. Of course I get the few IDGAF guys in my $9.99 pvt but then all the peepers try me so I go even slower. }:D I know of a few ladies that have very high rates. Men will pay for anything if they have it. Plus they're dumb when they're horny so seduction for the win.

I'm at 6.99 / 9.99 for pvt / exc. I was going to wait until I was skinny to raise them that much, but last year I said fuck it, I'm worth it. My hourly is at a place I'm very happy with. I'm tempted to raise them against next year but we'll see how it goes.

I actually typed and edited the same. That when I get snatched I'll raise them up even higher haha.

I have my exclusive set at $9.99, but keep private at 4.99 because most of the time I'll have more than one member in there. I usually wind up making more doing privates vs. exclusive, and they're less intense and don't involve C2C! I've been thinking of dropping it even lower to see if I could consistently get a larger group going, except that I'm already at my limit for how low I'm willing to go if there's one member in the room only--I'd be awfully bitter if I wasn't getting multiples.

Mine are at 7.99/10.99. They regularly tip me on top and I get multiple people in private sometimes. I get decent length shows in both too.

I’m really happy with where they are now and I don’t see myself increasing them. I have to wait for shows sometimes but I don’t mind cause when I do get one, it’s usually worth it. I also get really tired easily when I do loads and loads of shows. I used to be more prone to burnout when my rates were around the 5.99/7.99 range. I was also working 3-4 sites at once then though which probably didn’t help.

I've been having issues with widescreen for about 1 hour. Does anyone experience it? I've already rebooted my computer, but nothing..and the resolution has dropped to 960x720. Normally I stream in 1920x1080. I tried the stream settings, and the camera driver, but nothing works. Do you have any idea about the solution? :(

I've been having issues with widescreen for about 1 hour.

All the time are you using logitech webcam? Open the controller make sure its selected, open the capture make sure you are set to "full HD", you might need to update? Sometimes logging in and out helps and turning off and restarting stream

LeilaB

It worked, I opened logicapture software, then I restarted SMConnect, closed logicapture, and now the widescreen works again :)

I'm in Canada and get wire transfers. I've never had a problem with it. Usually the money is in my account on Mondays.

To the ladies who were chatting about prices, do you take advantage of the rate analysis tool? I find it really handy. Although I disagree that 4 hours is enough to see if a rate change is making much difference! I've always done better at lower prices elsewhere, but on SM I do better at higher ones. Without seeing it in black and white I'd definitely be charging less than I do. I haven't tried many rates yet so perhaps I could go higher still but at least I have nothing to lose by trying!

Holy shit i had no idea the exc rates were so high! Im upping mine today. Im of a mindset that the higher we all universally charge the better off we all are as a whole. Ive been feeling a significant amount of burnout myself. I feel like no matter how lively and ready i am at the beginning of a day i end up sore and just dreading the last couple of shows, which sucks because all and all i really do enjoy camming. The less shows I have to do at the end of the day, the better for me and them.

I think we should all agree to inflate them to a base set price, at least over time. If it doesn't work for you, of course girl get your coin and put them back at what works, but at least try it. Push the market up, better for everyone in the end and the guys who are there just to spend a fiver and shout fast demands isnt the kind of long term client ship you need anyways.
We are trying to build pseudo relationships here, not factory pump out copy paste sessions. They can get that with porn.

That being said I may up my rates and get my feelings hurt real damn fast, so we will see. hahaha
Hi everyone, hope you all are doing well!

As far as the rate analysis tool, ive never used it as I literally changed my rates once in 5 years and that was the drop I did last month which totally was a bust.
Looking at the rate analysis It looks like I took about a %30 hit in earnings that month and it adds to a theory I've had for a long time
and that's that customers are more willing to pay for girls who charge more because they want the best.. The luxury product.
They are going to be paying out the ass whether they are getting a less expensive cam girl or a more expensive cam girl and if they find themselves on a cam site looking for a per min girl then they are more then likely willing to pay whatever she asks for the best experiance.

Thanks, yes Im on, but slow so far.
Haven't been on much this week, I started a new pt job & its draining as hell, + haven't been able to eat as much as I needed to (camming makes me so hungry).

Im going to try to stay on as much as I can, & thru tomorrow.

Thanks

It was slow for me tonight too. I’m starting to notice that they always seem to drive me round the bend on a Friday lol. I looked tonight and for the past few months, Friday has consistently been the lowest of the week. It used to be one of my best days.

Today and yesterday have been my slowest days since I moved to sm. And seems all the dickheads are out in force to annoy me �� it's so weird I've had such good traffic and then barely anything last 2 days. I'm hoping its just cus its the after Xmas lull

Yes, I have a feeling that's it.
Im going to try later tonight, & early tomorrow, or straight thru, but not too likely I can make that many hours ago

Regarding prices, I am 6.99$ and 7.99$ and I'm doing fine, am earning more than when I was at 5$-6$ and I will just leave at it for now, I was guiding after the analysis tool. If I feel like is constant back for me regarding money and traffic I may raise a bit again, but right now I feel is just right x
