True!!
I have been told that when i had 3,99 and 4,99 lol :))
Now I am at 6,99 and 9,99 and yet,i am expensive!
The rule is simple...even i lower the prices,they will still stay less minuites because they don't have money! And we want mmembers with money! :)
So I tell them 2 things..depends by situation:
1. "I didn't raise my prices,the site did automatically, according with my success,quality offered, popularity,bla bla.Why would i lower them back if they consider I am good for this level of prices?". (strange,but this always shut them up and soemtimes works great!)
2.Even my price is higer,the quality offered and my beauty makes it worth! You better spend 10 minutes and feel truly special,than spend 20 minutes with other bunch of guys who join the pvt like you in the same time and feel like in freechat:)".
Some join the pvt,others call me "gold digger" or" bitch"..other simply leave.
Either way,we don't lose anything ladies! Or,.we lose 5$..the most :) If they consider we don't worth the price,why would they worth our attention! If a member really likes you,he will join the private no matter high is the price!

You girls are amazing, thank you for the advice.
I decided to keep them at 4.99 and 6.99 and this morning when a gufy said I was too pricey I told him it was set by SM and he said "Ah yeah, fair enough" and took me excl.
So... thank you gorgeous girls

Why even listen to what they say? Obviously they don't really have money.
What really matters is the results. If I make more per hour after a couple weeks then my prices are going to stay high.

I don't know ,but I observed that members are more "receptive" when I say that the site did raise my prices and not myself.
So this is what I use now at a new increase :)) "The site did,not me". :))))

I checked my time in paid chat and starting to see my higher rates getting the same numbers as my lower ones. I'm happy about that; and it kills me when guys call me a gold digger and gold is the currency in which I am paid. lol I tell them if they've ever done gardening or dug a ditch that digging is very hard work and I see that as saying I have a great work ethic.

last Friday I was feeling unmotivated but new I HAD to stay on so I raised by exclusive rate by a dollar, knowing that I may sit in free a little longer but that was fine with me :D My percentage in paid didn't go down if anything stayed the same or went higher and I stayed at this price all week. So far so good :D Its so true if they want to see u bad enough they wont care about the price :D Yay Have a gr8 weekend everyone xo

My friend is an entrepreneur, makes skateboards and sells art. He just posted this on his FB and I thought it hit the spot for all of us here
"Working for less then what you are worth ruins it for everyone... Don't de value your self ever "
I give myself a 20% raise every year :-D but I also invest back into my business.

So, I did an experiment yesterday with my rates. My rates have NEVER been below $3.99/$5.99 on Streamate. I've always wondered if I were to lower them significantly, if I would be in private shows constantly. I spend more time than I'd like in free chat, so I thought I would try $1.99 a minute...just to see. Well, trust that I won't be making that mistake EVER again!! It was awful. I didn't have more people taking me to private...no, instead I just had more begging in free chat and more ?? second peepers than EVER before! It pissed me off that even though they would only get charged $1.99 they still made sure to hop in and out before they were charged!! The most people I had in private (group) was 2 people paying at a time! Craziness!!! I also had a lot more demanding in my private chat room that I do everything they wanted me to do. I received a 4 star rating from someone who had rated me 5 stars in our last show, and I received a 2 star rating from someone who expected me to do everything he asked within the first minute of the show! Never again. We deserve better than that. These assholes take advantage! Instead of appreciating the fact that I was giving them a good deal, they basically spit in my face. So, of course, prices went right back up and that's where they'll stay!
I must say, I'm very disappointed in the outcome of the experiment...but it does help me to feel MUCH better about my higher prices. Raise those rates ladies!!!!

I would like to report that after raising my rates on SM to 5.99/7.99- only 1 comment from one of my regs was made, none of my other regs even mentioned it... and I have been making the same amount of money in less time, on average. :) I've also noticed that the guys/ladies in my room are more respectful, and actually take time to read my profile more than when my rates were lower! I have on average 4 or 5 guys in privates at a time- where before it was 1 or 2, and I feel GREAT because I feel more like expensive champagne instead of a coke from the $ menu!
My point is- RAISE THOSE RATES LADIES! You are so worth it! The ones who mind don't matter, and the ones who matter won't mind :)

Is going so slow on streamate ,that made me raise my rates AGAIN!!! Just like that!
7.99/9.99 now.It must work at some point!
Except i have a slow stupid internet, i have great lights,Full HD webcam, professional pics, new outfits, great background and i am beautiful :D
So fuck them.

That's awesome! Seriously, thanks for posting the results of your experiment, every once in a while, I wonder if trying something like this would be a good idea but I don't want to fuck with success so I adjust slowly. It's awesome to get validation that having rates higher than $1.99 is the way to go. :)
I clearly have a sweet spot for premium because I lowered it by $0.50 since I was getting an average of 1.1 in premium at a time and went back to ~3.5 at a time.

If anyone complains that I'm too expensive I just say
I'm not expensive your just cheap or
OK then come back when you have more money......then BAN.
I have zero patience for these guys anymore, complaining about rates and the do this and we go private guys unleash my inner Demon and Ban.
I think my goal on streamate is to have every freeloading , cheap guy banned. :) other then that I'm a fucking angel lol

weird...not complaining....but I raised my private by a dollar and all I get is exclusive, which is $2 more per min. :-) must be the psychology of pricing and the numbers they see.

Raised my rates to 7.99/9.99 and banked! That's without using toys or doing anything hardcore. Yay! The only reason I raised them was because I was lazy and did not want a lot of privates and I got the opposite. Hope it stays like this😇😇😇

Do you guys feels it's better to raise your rates slowly and gradually? Or just go for it ? I'm 3.99/5.99 I just raised to 4.99/6.99 I really wanted to go higher but I'm a bit nervous .i offer many toys fetishes BDSM anal ...is that too low?

I think it just depends on whatever you FEEL like you should do!!! I personally just went for it, raised them from 3.99/4.99 to 5.99/7.99 and it has been great! More gentleman (instead of assholes), longer exclusives, more tips in free chat. The majority of my regulars didn't even mention the price change. A couple did and I basically told them to deal.. they either did, or found someone else :) I also think my placement improved a TON because I was making the site more money with higher prices.
If you don't feel comfortable with a high price jump, then try it out gradually and see what works best :) Just remember you're a sip of fine champagne darling, and the guys who deserve to taste you should be able to buy the whole glass.

I don't use toys,i don't go fully naked,no anal-i charge 5.89/min.If i was about to use toys,do anal and other extras would charge at least 8-9 a min.Cheaper rates attract cheap asses with low IQ and guys who complain about "too expensive" rates need better job.We are LUXURY.Just go for it and charge whatever you feel you deserve and everything gonna be alright :)

Any updates from you ladies who have recently raised your rates? Are you noticing any difference? I'm thinking about raising my rates on SM by a dollar starting tomorrow.
I figure it's already slow, might as well get paid more when I actually do get a show. The guys aren't buying in to my dirt cheap gold shows so it can't possibly be about price right?! Fuckers.

I just raised my rates to 7.99/9.99 last week, and the difference has been gigantic in a GOOD way! I make so much more money and get to do half the amount of shows to hit my goal. It's especially helpful when it's slow on, because you might sit in FREE for 45 minutes but 15 min and I make $50+. The good quality regs. aren't going to care about what price you cost, if they want to see you then they will see you.
As far as Gold shows go... those are always hit or miss for me also. Sometimes, I hit the goal easier when I make the buy in higher... and I don't even get halfway to the lower buy in ones.

I decided to switch my premium and exclusive rates back around, so I switched them from $6.99 for premium and $5.99 for exclusive to $4.99/$6.99 prem/exclusive. Still getting all exclusive shows and getting more cash per minute. Might just bump the whole thing to $5.99/$7.99 as an experiment tonight...

Hmm. I tried this and raised my rates from 2.49 to 3.24 and started making on avg 20$ more per hour! I stayed with this for a couple of weeks and saw this thread again so I tried to raise them again and haven't had much luck. I raised them to 3.94 and make 16$ less per hour so far (feels like way less). I've only worked 8 hours with this raise but I'm starting to doubt it. I have hardly been getting pvts and feels I'm getting really bored. Should I go back to 3.24 or rise them way high like some girls here and see? It's really hard sitting in a room without seeing much results!

its been slow jan was a fucktarded month guys really in the hole from holiday shopping paying off credit cards and what not. maybe try 3.99 and 4.99 see how that goes then try 5.99 and 7.99 or 8.99 and see what works better. if ur using the rate analysis i dont think thats a good judgement because it doesn't analysis the caliber of the viewers u get at certain rates. guys with money like girls who value themselves and tend to stay in shows longer but to attract them is a bit of work the right looks and cam setup and hustle as well as ur rates all play a part in that too. being under 3.99 ur probably getting the in between guys the ones that arent cheap assholes but not the ones with huge amounts of money to burn either. do u track ur earnings and average show times when get into paid chat?

I didn't think of that for some reason! I was like "xmas is over, monies time". I haven't started tracking avg show times but I'd guess the avg for private is around 3 mins and the avg exclu is like 10 mins. Rarely I get 15 min shows or 30 if I'm really lucky. I don't put in the 90 hrs per month that they recommend and I'm not sure how to check my placement but I'll start thinking about these things! Just raised it to 6.99 for the night for fun. ;P
Edit: HOLY COW. jsut as i posted this i got a 15 min pvt block (6.99) !!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH MY GOD! YOU GUYSSSS
I'm so happy this thread was on the first page today :') I read through the latest posts and I decided to raise my rates again today (the last time I raised them was last year when I first found this thread!)
I actually wasn't planning on raising my rates until summer, because that's when I'll be my ideal weight and fitness, and getting my own place so the decor would be much nicer....but I was so inspired by this thread so I bumped up my rate by $1 to 5.99/7.99
I'm so glad I did!!!! Last night I got SO many minute men and I felt like I was sitting in free chat for longer than 4 hours >:( I made my goal but barely. But tonight! Tonight I exceeded my goal by $150 and virtually no minute-men! :D 72% in paid! Oh man seriously ladies - DON'T QUESTION IT, JUST DO IT! YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL RIGHT IN THIS MOMENT :) DON'T DOUBT YOURSELF! Keep raising those rates until you find your perfect price <3

I always end up bumping my rates back down because I feel like I'm charging too much. Lately $3.99 has been my safe spot. I feel like that's a fair price to pay for a group/private show. I think that's why I have such a hard time raising my private rates. I have no issue raising my exclusive though, because that's an option they don't have to take. I really want to raise my private to $5.99 but always feel like it's too much to ask. Hell, I have the best equipment and put on a great show...i should be able to ask more right? Gonna give $5.99 a try today and try to keep myself from lowering it back down. Any more uplifting stories from you gals is welcome! I love reading how it's working for you ladies!

Well I did it. I raised my rates (from $3.99/$5.99 to $5.99/$7.99) and kept them there all day! I couldn't be happier! I didn't make a whole lot today because I wasn't able to stay on long, but it was so awesome earning more money for every show I did do. I'm going to keep my rates up for a while and see how it goes...I just need to stay confident :)

You guys are inspiring me! We just upped our internet speed.. about 30 mbps upload now and I hardwire it. I want to up my rates (currently $4.19/$5.19) I feel like my shows are worth more than the cut I get..as all of our's are. But sometimes I have trouble raising it passed around this mark. Increasing my exclusive rate is an option I didn't consider..I always end up bumping mine down to this rate!

I get at least one guy a day telling me I'm expensive (4.99/6.99) so my response is this now:
"Feel free to go look in the bargain bin and find some cheaper pussy if you can't afford me. Maybe there will be a girl there you like. "
OBVIOUSLY I do not think that girls who charge less than me are worth less than me or anything like that, but no man wants to feel cheap :)

Ban guys who complain about your rates. They'll never change their tune anyway so don't even try. Successful men don't go to cam sites to complain about being brokeass. Brokeass = loser. Tell them you are doing them a favor by banning them. Tell them to quit wasting time on cam sites and to do something about their fucking brokeass life instead of going further into the hole and point out that successful people are not bargaining about prices with cam girls. If they are smart, they will find you on your Skype sites and then thank you for giving them the best fucking advice they ever got from anybody. Ever since I've been banning the cheap fuckers, I've been happier which eventually equals more money. Better mood, more confidence, more money. You deserve the guys who respect you. Leave all the cheap guys for the top free gold show girls, they can have them, you have the guys who value your unique look and personality and pay well for it!

ok, going to get serious with this raise your rates change.. raised it from 3.99 to 5.99 private. will update later to tell if it was worth it! I'm sure it will be, groceries, bills and life is getting expensive, so we should raise our rates accordingly
