Well, raised my rates on F4F and made more money today than I have in a long time...guess it pays to shake things up. Guys also think I am important now or something because only models at a certain level get to have a rate raise, so it definitely works.

Took your advice !41777
Its such a fun experiment, to see if they go with it. Have been camming with my pricechange yesterday for 2 houres, noticed I had more guys in pvt at the same time but no biters yet for excl. And today online for 15 minutes and this happened.

OMG, I am so going to try this tomorrow. Fucking, right on!

Wow, lady. *awestruck face*

Now see, this is why I need to work on my patience to get AW to work for me. When I actually get a good show, the payout is so fantastic.

It started with 1 guy who said 'rape my wallet bb' so I took him up on the challenge lol. Price got up to 14.99 at one point. After he left I just left my price at 8.99 for the night, added 'raise the rates game now on' to my bio and got more takers :)

I LOVE this response


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 :)

I have the same issue in group on AW. I lowered the rates and still only get 1 guy in.......why would they pay for pvt if they get the same in grp?? Think I'm gonna raise them right up! Thanks x


i believe you can raise them up to 14.99? Do eeeeet! Ok well if you're not brave enough to do 14.99, go half way? :D

Oh I just wanted to add - a couple of months ago i raised my rates on AW to 2.99 group and 3.49 private. I'd been hesitantly raising and lowering private from 2.99 - 3.15 for a while but never quite brave enough to leave it there. I didn't really mess with group and left it at 1.99 since forever. AnywayI thought fuck it and left private at an even higher level and raised group right up since I never get group shows anyway, it's always one sodding guy in there! And if anything I'm doing even MORE shows now than before, including group shows.. which i find completely bizarre but not complaining! So you CAN do it ladies, and the boys WILL pay You just have to raise them and then LEAVE them. One day or one week isn't enough time to measure if it's working out or not x

So today for about 5 mins I got mad at everything and pushed my rates up obnoxiously high and someone actually took me pvt for a few mins. Nothing after, but its just nice when people don't respond to rate raises like total assholes.

I am so disheartened. AW was dead for me so after weeks I dropped my rates and I improved for a week, then it stopped. I went back to my old prices and nothing. Now I'm at a higher price than I've been before. I want to keep it that way to bank on the few clients that actually come in a day, but it seems hard. Guys come into group and want things like c2c and roleplay which i only offer private and when I say that they leave.

Ugh, what to do.

I get them wanting all that in Grp. I try and do my best to please them all but it's tough and others that come in then leave. I offer taboo and will not even discuss in free or grp but they still try. Drives me nuts.

You are very right!
I don't like showing my entire earnings all the time, but you have no idea how much helped me in my motivation, a simple screenshot with a private from other model.When I was feeling down and I was seeing a screen shot (like IvyRose does sometimes), it was giving me a heads up, a smile on my face was posted and, maybe I didn't have the results in that day, but I definately was ending the day in an optimistic state of mind, with the hope that soon it's gonna be better. And it was!
Thanks to those girls.
So, when I have a personal success or an unexpected good day, or a lucky day, I don't mind posting from time to time, so other models can get motivated as well.
Is motivating for MYSELF to know I am other girls motivation, because it helps me to not let myself down when it's a bad day. I look here and I know it was better and can get better.
It's good to see and post here and there little screen shots with our small successes, records, etc.

I want to raise my rates, but I don't know. I am at $6.49 with $8.49. I am afraid I will scare everybody, cause I think they are already pretty high (not that I'm not worth it)! Uh, decisions.

Gotta love this thread, felt down yesterday, but waking up today with reading through here and feeling better allready.
I have not yet had a member go over the 8 minute mark in my excl (they all last about the same time right now). Will feel like a little victory when someone stays in even longer. That will be my mission for now =)

Oh and cutie101, I had that same experience =). Got highly motivated by the previous posters and esp their screenshots. Because of that I started with posting screenshots myself

From a psychology point of view your custies won't see the difference between .49 and .99, so you may as well go up to 7.99/9.99! ;-)

I put my pvt up to £4.99 and grp to £2.50 on AW - just to see what would happen.......I was dead as a dodo but I don't think the traffic was all that. The minute I did it I had some guy I'd n ever seen before say "4.99 for pvt?? Are you kidding???" So I told him if he wanted cheap pussy to go choose from the hundreds of others. His response? "No bb, it's cheap for you bb" and promptly left!

06-03-2015, 06:43 AM
Fucking hell, susie, well spotted. Some guy came pvt and kept me there for nearly two hours (at £3.29 a minute), then we moved to skype. and the calls on AW kept coming. I had to log off at 2am out of sheer exhaustion.

Now I am considering upping my SM rates. I put them up but then took them down as I felt bad. they are 4.99 and 6.99... maybe I'll give it a week and see? It's super busy for me on SM now...

So, I raised my rates and check out what happened! I can't raise my exclusive up past $13.99/min right now, apparently I have to hit a certain amount with the new rate before the system automatically gives me the highest. Regardless, I"M FUCKING STOKED.

That's amazing hyori!! (Totally getting a camgirl crush on you btw XP) ... I'm really stepping up my game, styling my hair a bit cuter and putting extra thought into my hustle, but I'm still not confident to raise my rates on this new account until I regain my 5 star rating. After that, I'm totally getting in on this!

The only time I get low ratings are when I lower my rates.

Seriously I dropped my rate to 3.99 a couple of weeks ago in frustration and I got a 1, 2 and 3 star rating. All guys who wanted me to be dildoing in the first minute... IMO the cheap guys are the worst and if you want better rating raise them rates now!!!

Thanks for the pep talk pretty lady! I've actually only gotten one rating below a 5 since I started camming - no godly idea how I managed to avoid it since I've run into a fair amount of trolls but I haven't been actively camming that long so I'm sure I have it to look forward to. X) I'm at the default 4 stars right now just because my account is new and out of the 4 or 5 shows I've had on it today, only one person rated (and I make sure to remind them to - during the show! Fuckers lol)

My traffic is already pretty low and I really need to get my placement up. From my understanding, that means getting 5 star solid, having a decent paid time %, logging enough hours online, as well as all the technical shit that hates me. I must have set up my encoder stupidly cause I never get any shows and much less traffic when I use it so I normally just stick to HD Wide. My internet is gimpy and I have the fastest available for my area, so nothing to do about that. I feel like I'm running this race with my hands tied and an arrow in the knee so I'm trying to play my cards as smart as possible... and from what I can figure, lower starting rates = more likely higher paid time % = better placement = better traffic... and when I get better traffic I can afford to raise my rates.

Omg my brain is gonna melt out of my eyeballs. x_x That's what I've sussed out so far and I'm really not sure about it at all so if you have any advice to the contrary I'm all ears!

I'm happy I raised my rates. Nobody complained about them and I actually had some new decent guys. :D My gold shows are still the biggest part of my earnings, but I hope to balance the difference a little bit, so I can rise my % in paid chat. Because I am so maniac with gss, I can't have a huge %, is never more than 35-40%.

doublerainbow
06-05-2015, 08:42 AM
Yey! I got to my solid 5 stars and hiked those rates up even more! n_n Way less shows so far as expected, let's see if I make enough to balance things out.

I raised my rates. The first days I was the same amount of time in private shows. That meant extra money, fast money. But now in the 6th day with my rates up... IT was freaking awful ! I did less than with my older rates ! Is it a normal thing for you girls? Do I have to hold on because there are days and days for the bigger rates? I hope it's just a thing...

06-09-2015, 09:59 AM
I've haven't cammed for nearly 3 months and now I am suffering from some sort of mystery autoimmune/inner ear illness, so I am finally feeling comfortable to raise my rates now.

I'm going to keep Private at 5.49 and have it stipulated that I'll take no requests there - just pay to watch me do things my way. And since Exclusive will be a more comprehensive experience for fetish, RP, taking direction I am going to raise from 7.49 to 8.99 (maybe 9.99) haven't decided yet. I don't have the energy to do tons of demanding shows anyway, so hopefully this tactic will make going back to camming less daunting for me. Fingers crossed!

Just a little background since I'm new - I signed up on SM months ago but never made a dollar up until these past 3 weeks. I would start my broadcast and immediately log off because I was so nervous. I've been reading these forums for quite some time and I couldn't be more thankful! If it wasn't for this thread in particular, I would have probably started my rates off as low as possible out of desperation, and having no "new girl status" or regulars. But thanks to you ladies, for these past 3 weeks I've stuck to my guns with having my exclusive at 9.99. I've gotten at least a dozen exclusive sessions at this price, but last night I got this whale less than 5 minutes after logging on!

41869

it was totally vanilla show, c2c, he was cute and he just told me to do whatever I wanted to do to cum a lot. He said he found me just by going through and favoriting models he liked recently (I asked because i'm sure my placement is crap, my ranking for time online is still "poor," but I have "good" & "excellent" in all other categories for ranking.

Thank you so much for all the awesome support and info in SW, I'd be lost without it. My private rate is at 4.99 and I've been doing pretty well with that as well, but plan on raising that sooner than later! Thanks again ladies<3

Raising my rates today. Trying this again and hopefully it works out better than before. I figure I'm gonna need this boost with summer here. $5.99/&7.99 has to work this time...I've been stuck at $4.99/$6.99 for almost 3 years!

Update on raising my rates! It's finally working for me because I believe in it! I refuse to go back to lower rates and they are paying! My shows are much better quality because I believe I'm making what I deserve. So it's been win win! I'm sticking to these rates for a while...and the next time I change them it will be to raise them again! I'm making more than ever before with higher rates...and none of my regs have even said a word ;)

doublerainbow
06-09-2015, 09:53 PM
That's fantastic plumwine, happy for you!! I just raised my excl to 9.99 too and got a nice 20 minute show pretty early on. Keeping my pvt at 5.99 which seems to make me more affordable to the guys who have to save up to get show customization, cam2cam and penetration. ;)

It is fucking hard to raise your rates on livejasmin ! LOL. I guess members are used with girls that set a low price mostly. Half of my regulars don't complain but the other half is like: "ohh but i will spend less time with youuu :( i like to take my time :(" ... And than this complaing half comes private still and says "they are sad but i am worth it :("... Hahaha. I will keep it up, I think i gotta build up another member base- those who can aford me without complaining... But it is sooo boringgg to sit in the free chat area... I think really hard about streamate, is it hard for european girls to make money there? Hmm

I had issues with LJ in the past. With the insane number of clients that like to "freeload" and the low prices, it took me forever to reach payout. Now I am using both SM and MGF and making a good amount more. But back to the topic at hand...

I raised my rates slightly ($1.00) and actually saw much more productivity than I did when lower...think I may raise just a bit every couple of weeks as my ranking stays at 5 stars ;)
