I started this thread in 2012 and now I cringe when I see my OP, 8 years later.
I hate the tone I used and shamed others for lower prices / having deals, etc. I am so sorry if my words hurt any of you over these years. Lower prices does not equal less self-respect. Higher prices does not make you better than another model. I am happy it inspired so many of you to go bigger, I just apologize for how I worded it.
I still agree that you can go big - men will pay high prices, absolutely.
Having lower prices, there is a huge difference in handing it all out on a platter for free vs strategically offering a sale, or pricing low with the intent of massive growth.
Some OnlyFans models are making $10,000+ / month off of $5-$10 subscriptions. No way am I going to knock that. Yes, McDonald's has a dollar menu. But the average income of a single McDonald's restaurant generates nearly $2.7 million in annual sales, too.
For a number of years I was stubborn about my pricing, how I promoted myself (anti-tube being 1 of them) - in 2018 I changed things up and doubled my income, making '18 my highest earning year thus far. 2019 I doubled my income again from 2018, and hit a number of other work goals.
I did my 1st flash sale last year, expecting it to flop. I made $500 that day laying in bed watching Netflix.
Turns out that sales, tube sites and $5 OF are not the devil.
Hustle smart and hoe your own way. <3

This is beautiful. ♥️
The truth is everyone has something that get's under their skin and influences their perspective. Some are convinced that sales are harder to make due to low rates, paypal or pink in freechat...taboo topics. We all have that thing. I sometimes look at my old post too and then think..who the hell was that?

^^^ Wow, guess u were just starting camming back then? That is the year i started on SM myself and i remember i did $2.99/min at very 1st then quickly raised to 3.99 and then 4.99 which was not working for me too well (all private fees, exclusive was $1-2 higher); i tried over 4.99 several times but it's not working for me considering i am not native in english, i dont offer phone, i dont do a lot of specific things in my shows aka elaborate roleplays or hardcore (no anal, no deepthroat, no big toys, so on).
Right now i am a little under 4.99/min pvt cause for some reason they buy at few cent under 4.99 but not at 4.99, guess is a psychological thing or so.
Exclusive is 5.99 and i get some nice shows with good repeats when they come in for intimate time.
I wish i could cam with higher fees but i learned what it works for me and what not so i do what works for me, i know my value and am pretty realistic about my best features and my flaws, after soo many years on cam i am aware of my ranking ;); i know we all want to have sky high fees but not all of us are extremely beautiful, gifted, skilled or even lucky so yeah, as Hayden said above, "hoe your own way" is pretty valid, ty for that realization xx

Yes, I think a little under 4.99 isn't too bad of a rate, enough to draw in privates but not too much to kill traffic.
Maybe consider raising your exclusive rate. I have discovered through trial and error that the exclusive guys will generally be willing to pay way more than guys who pile into a group show. They seem willing to pay for my full attention. I used to only charge $1 more but now I have mine $4 more than my private rate and might go up a little more. I feel like it should be close to double the private rate.

Yes, I was a total newbie back then. I didn't stay at those rates very long, thankfully. lol
I agree with Laurie. I would consider raising your exclusive rate. I did last year and I have never regretted it.

I was inspired.
I've never had my exclusive rate higher than my pvt rate (in 9yrs on SM) cause its hard for me to juggle multiple guys because I type, and I always preferred guys go to exclusive VS pvt. After reading through this thread tonight I decided to raise my exclusive rate higher than my pvt rate and give myself 1.50 raise on exclusive. No sooner than I did this I had one of my regs come by and do a 50min exclusive and I hit my high goal in one show.
Wow. Just wow. Amazing!
Edit: he raised his limit and came back and we did high goal 2.5x for the night. OMG! YAY! After how shitty its been lately I WILL TAKE IT.

There's nothing wrong with wanting there to be standards in this industry. It's less that I think less of girls charging low and more that I think men do not deserve to jack it to $1 porn and they should pay us what we deserve. you might say well if 1000 guys pay 1$ its worth it. true. but imagine if those same 1000 paid us 20$ each ::)

I decided to raise my rates on SM indefinitely at a minimum 4.99/6.99.... I've been sitting out on camming & focusing solely on Phone Sex since November last year because after 2 months of being @ 2/3.99 my mental state was deteriorating and I got burnt out, QUICK! Guys wanted me to bang my pussy with a dildo & squirt in less than 2 minutes on demand yelling "SQUIRT SQUIRT" BUT NOT HITTING THE TIP BUTTON!!! like a fucking sex fuck doll & I kept getting 2-5 min quickies NOT even back to BACK which made it frustrating... I did everything! Phone Sex, let them C2C me, etc... I looked @ my time sheet & started crying knowing I'm bussing my pussy wide open on camera for less than $5 my cut & looking @ these mofos. Survival street walking sex workers who charge $60 for f*cking quick visits make more than me in 15 minutes worth of work!
I had to sit out because I had to evaluate a few things after I had an Cheap ass old [Redacted] MAN tell me to - in a non-direct but backhanded manner - stay dirt cheap for his thin wallet & mansplain to me why I shouldn't be like those girls who charge $8-9-10-11/min... Him emphasizing his love for the girls in ZA (South Africa) is what really tipped me over as I see majority of those poor girls charge $.99-2 a min AT MOST! After that day it really fucked me up because I did almost everything & still was told I don't deserve more! And I just sat there & smiled and took it! I was silly thinking I was the exception to the rule of men not viewing me as cheap easily accessible pussy @ those rates, & of course he never tipped me cheap fucks like him never would anyway because he's POOR.... So I decided to exit out for a bit... Read the forum for tips & went on streamate a few days a week & see how the girls work their room from regular to gold shows, I never viewed them as competition, but a source of inspiration. Also as I have been blessed to be gifted with two lovely toys from Kiiro I feel like that a little sign telling me not to give up & work on mastering my hustle.... I know it will help me pool tips @ a faster pace & help me ease into privates/exclusives better. Good luck on your journey this year everyone! It's 2020 & we're #MakingPussyExpensiveAgain one day @ a time. I love how we are all here to build, learn, & encourage greatness in each other & not be nasty & rude. We love to see it! Cheers to higher rates all 2020!:D

tip vibes are amazing! I had 3 guys tipping in free to set it off over and over today - sure, it's only $0.3 a go for me but it added up, then one of them took me exclusive and still kept tipping to set it off.
totally worth it!

I am non nude and still charging $4.99+ .
What you're charging is extremely low. You have done great with raising your rates. Never listen to a customer's motives for why you should stay cheap. I had a shit ton of idiots who told me I don't deserve this price beause I am eastern european and other shit. I've seen a thread on twitter, about an escort that is half asian. She got a message from a dude who said he won't pay her prices because she is is technically asian and asian women are cheap and why to pay her rates, when he can have an asian for cheap and that feels like a scam to him. That was racism in the most pure form. It did hurt me to read that, more than it did hurt me when men did tell me i should be cheap because where i come from. How you must take this kind of insult from someone. I can't even call him a person. I'd cut those fucking assholes their dicks and send it to their wives.
Don't let it get it to you. You are a human being, no matter the skin color, race, location. Human body is the same everywhere. Same flesh, bones, organs. You're not less smart, your vagina is not brunout- proof to take more pounding for cheaper.
Ban those who say you're not worthy and move on. Theese people do not even deserve a spit in the face. They are the trash of the planet. When they call you trash, they are actually calling themselves.
I've wrote on the previous page about this, so feel free to take a look at it (post #1479).

I would have had to hide my face and ugly cry after being online for almost 3.5 hours and only had 4 mins paid and then receiving those tips. I wouldnt have been able to keep my emotions in check after I heard the gold sound haha. Its true though. I've made more off tips then paid chat most always. Sadly I lowered my rates. I'm now $5.99/$6.99 .... Its hard for me to accept a higher rate not being a glam model and having almost no following. I only have a handful of regs. If that even.

So. Many. Times. Models. Say. This
It's literally been talked about to death and the point stays the same - it doesn't matter if you have everything or you just literally started, charge what YOU want. Think abiut what you want to take home after everything is taken out, your low goal should be what you need to pay your bills, medium is bills and building your emergency fund and savings, high goal is whatever the fuck you want it to be. Work backwards from there to see what you should charge per min. Do NOT base it on what you think you can get, but what you WANT to get. This is a luxury product, like a rolls royce or an expensive watch- guys don't NEED to buy cam shows, they do it because they want to and they have the cash to spend. It's your duty to unload those wallets!

you dont need to have a huge following or be a glam model. I know many girls that are new with high prices.
I go up and down as cam is unpredictable. Shamelessly I dropped my rate to 4.99 on sm. I wasnt having any luck the past few months higher.

I was lost for the longest time lmaooo not even gonna lie. But now I see what you’re referring to.
When you stop your show it refreshes your paid time stats. I stopped my show to eat, came back to a short ass private, and then scrolled up to screenshot that tip. And if you look at my scroll bar you can see I had to scroll halfway up my chat.
At the 3.5 hour mark I would have DEFLEE ugly cried if 4 minutes was all I’d managed to get from these guys :rotfl: If money isn’t made after an hour, I’m gone.
Glad you mentioned that tbh. You never know what people are zeroing in on. And since the old camming sucks thread used to mention a certain disdain for camming rocks, I try not to mention weekly earnings and only talk about Sunday’s half of the time to avoid that catty vibe. Glad my screenshot didn’t show all my shit lol.

Thank you for that! I never really knew about High/Low Goals until I started reading the forums about camming specifically. Since I started 4 years ago; 2 years in the beginning I was doing SW on & off along with my civvie job for extra side money, then 1 year I took completely off after 3 horrible ass months trying to jump head first into Niteflirt not realizing the learning curve (Winter of '17 they drained my bid budget soooooooo bad I wanted to cry :-[.) Then the past year I finally retired the civvie job lifestyle I & spent the whole year getting the hang of learning phone sex & not giving up. It was with phone Sex where I learned my worth honestly & it took a minute for it to happen. Understanding that I needed to factor in the sites cut for each call, the emotional labor, what my hard limits were, what type of calls I'm skilled in catering to... And it took those few months of camming experience for it to bleed in with Camming mindset as well. Since I was only working on one phone sex site last year (was still scared of Niteflirt lol) I never really had a high/low goal I just went with whatever traffic came for the day (TTM). But when I did try to set one my goal it was High goal or nothing LOL & I didn't correctly categorize them like wants vs. needs; I combined both goals which made it frustrating. I'll start working on learning how to implement that method into my weekly $ goal game plan system :D.

I've put my SM private at $5.99 (only offering topless and BJ shows) and raised my exculsive to $8.99 yesterday (I dropped it cause I freaked out but raised it again) and its been a blessing. Its been horribly slow but those quick 3 min guys, now it adds up and I dont want to cry when I see how much I earned off them. I'm at the moment happy with that % coming to me per min.

Thank you & I did see your previous post which was very inspiring. Thats very, very fucked man... Really? Why do people feel the need to say such horse shit like that?! If he wants cheap go somewhere else! Men don't go to the Nike Store & be like, "Those are some nice Jordans I'd really like to buy them but they're too expensive so I'll go on Ebay and buy them for less." NO, they don't! I never knew Euro Girls got shit on hard like this, is it the "Russian Mail Order Bride" stereotype?? That & the fact that cost of living is cheaper so the guys expect you to be cheap??? I've heard about this with Columbian Models, poor girls.:( I've learned over the years that projection is a real thing, & that combined with xenophobia & racism just makes a huge, uglier mess....

I'm so scared, I just raised my exclusive to $12.99.
I only ever get men with money to pay for my exclusives so I figured....why not? I don't know. I feel really weird right now like I want to change it back.
But I felt this way when I went from 4.99/6.99 to 6.99/8.99 so surely I'm just scaring myself right?
My new rates are 7.99/12.99 and I'm going to try really hard to keep it that way until next Wednesday. I'm really going to try.

My new rates are 7.99/12.99 and I'm going to try really hard to keep it that way until next Wednesday. I'm really going to try.
Please let us know how it goes! BTW I know some girls are as high as $14.99 and doing well with it but have a huge following though I know you rock it already so it should do you good!

Just wanted to say that this thread is inspiring. 6 years ago, doing Skypes on MFC & CB for 10tokens per minute. I started 4 years ago on SM at 1.99/2.99, and had been stuck at the 4.99/5.99 rate for about 2 years. I justified it for so long with "competitive pricing," but I changed my rates to 7.99/9.99 on Jan 1 and changed my mindset to "yearly raise." 17% increase in income on SM so far. And it's been going up as more spenders find me. That being said, I'm still stuck in my cheap indie prices.. I'll work on those next lol

I've lowered my rates for a little while, due to the increasing number of the models in this time period, wich made everything a little slower, including my income. Nothing wrong with that, tho...

Oh, update. I brought my rates back down after 5 minutes of sitting in free chat. I was just too nervous.
I'm not back at my original rates though (6.99/8.99) I decided to leave it at a dollar higher (7.99/9.99). I just lost my nerve ya'll. Anytime I sit in freemium at new rates I can't stop myself from thinking "IT'S CUZ YOU'RE EXPENSIVE BIH". I can't help it.

So I've been low key hating my Domme line on Talk To Me, even @ 1.99/min (since right now I only get 45% & the guys I was getting @ times were weirdos making me do all the work talking with little to no input), but I was feeling a little pissy today so I decided to turn it on & see if I could kick up my "Domme" side and release some steam (I'm naturally vanilla/submissive, aka lazy lol - I hate how I gotta do all the talking sometimes it's easier to just moan lol).
So I had a random dude named "CashPig" contact me via Chat online & told me (my character) "Oh Goddess you're way to beautiful to be priced @ 1.99/min I would love to call you @ the highest rate possible." And sadly the site only lets you do 2.99 anything higher you have to contact support (BOO). So we chatted a bit, wanted humiliation & did a call, the little premature ejaculator came in 7 min lol. But I decided to leave my rate @2.99 because he was right, I deserve more!
So I left it alone & did admin tasks & had been getting calls like I normally do around 10 min each & I'm reaching my daily goal even quicker just on this site alone! Honestly on this site anything less than a mixture of 2.99 & 1.99 calls is a waste! I'm about to make some more 2.99 lines & have them on so I can focus on getting my NF Profiles together to make even more $$$! :)

A great message when everyone else is dropping rates like flies!! Good for you.
I raised my indie price from 3.5 to 5 (gbp)! :D

I raised my indy / skype rates recently, but in a more unconventional way.
I used to charge $5/min for shows (so $50 for 10 minutes, which was the most requested block of time).
Now I charge $100 per show, and the show lasts any length from 1 minute up to 20 minutes (so it still works out to $5/min if they stay for their full 20 minutes) but most guys can only handle my teasing for 10 minutes before blowing their load.
I effectively doubled my rates, but the guys are still thinking I'm essentially $5/min! :D

I loooove this. So accross the board you just quote 100 for eg on cmd, social etc?

Yup, minimum $100 to do any indy show with me (I only use Indiebill / sites that give 80% tip payouts, I quit CMD and SkyPrivate because of too many time wasters). I keep my video prices reasonable, so I figure if they can't afford a show, they can still get an orgasm with me through my content, and the guys who want direct access to me or get intimate with a live show, can save up for it :P

Oh, this is wonderful. Love seeing you ladies charging these guys a good amount. I actually got a pleasant little shudder reading this. ;D Good point about the clips, too!

I've been discouraged by how slow the beginning of the year has been and had my SM rates down a bit ($4.99/$7.99) from what they were at the end of last year. I just went and looked at my rates, my paid percent, and my earnings from last year at this time. I was charging more ($6.99/$9.99), my paid percent is the same as it has been lately, but I was making almost double in earnings than I've been making recently. So I'll be putting those rates back up! That was a real eye opener.

Did you get more premium shows than exclusive at 4.99/7.99? Or was the ratio the same as last year at 6.99/9.99?
I think visually that 7 may look like a huge bump up from 4. Psychologically it may feel like it's way more money. 699 and 999 looks like it's in the same ballpark.

That's a good point! At $4.99/$7.99 I did get a bit more privates than exclusives. At $6.99/$9.99 it was way closer to being even, but still a little more private vs exclusive. Money wise, $6.99/$9.99 I made about the same amount in both pvt/excl...$4.99/$7.99 I made a good bit more in Private (like double).

Now this has me thinking what I originally had before... Should I just say fuck it and jack it up to 6.99/9.99 / min and call it a day... I still haven't been on since December, but I honestly don't want to do cheapo shows, If I'm going to get pulled out of free chat and undress for 2-3 minuets I want it to be worth it damn it lol.

I put my private rate up on one of my sites today by £1 and I immediately got a show after. He only stuck around for 2mins but it felt good to see what I earned for those 2mins!
I want to put my SM exclusive rate up to $8.99 so that I earn the equivalent of £2 per min (my cut) but I only put my rate up in January and most of my earnings are coming from SM now too, so I don’t know if I dare push my luck with all my new regs! I might hold out a month or so. I think I’d quite happily keep my rate at that for a while once I’m there.

$6.99/$8.99 is actually pretty standard on SM I've found out and that is where I'm at now to so I say give it a go!

I’ve actually set my private rate higher than my exclusive rate as I prefer just doing one on one shows and don’t want to deal with peepers. So my rate is 7.99 excl 9.99 pvt. It’s totally unnecessary for people to take me to private but some still do anyway!!
I might try bringing my pvt rate down to 7.99 though and put excl as 8.99.. I’m wondering if maybe I’m losing out having my rates that way?

When guys see your rates, they first see the private rate first so you may be losing customers cause unless they click on it, they wont see your exclusive rate right away so they wont know its less then your private rate.
One of the things I dont do in private is show my pussy. I dont care as much if a lurker comes in real quick and sees my boobs since they can do that in free chat to if another guy tips for them. But my pussy.... thats in exclusive only so no one can peep it. They are paying for it. You want full nudity, we go exclusive.
Some girls can make private work and get those lurkers to stick around and be paid on them but I dont like to chance it because more so then not, they are going to just peek in real quick and leave.

I took your advice and lowered my private rate to what was my excl rate, and then put my excl rate up. So I’m 7.99-8.99 pvt/excl.
I’ve definitely noticed a difference today!! I’ll see how it is for the rest of the week and I imagine I’ll probably keep it this way.

i just signed up for my sm customer account a few hours ago. and .. there are so many 2 girl/3 people shows for 1.99 to 2.xx.. it crazy. its so sad and really
ruins things for everyone else.
maybe because its late here 3 am eastern time zone.. but i cant find a girl /girl or boy/ girl show over $4.99 paid chat let alone over $2.xx a min
so many Colombians doing things so cheap (both my partners are from latin america so i say this with sadness not to discriminate)
because their currency is worth less against the dollar.
when i increased my rates to 6.99 or even 5.99/6.99 for couples.
it didnt work for me.i cant seem to pass 4.99/5.99 to get steady shows.
i dont seem to have the traffic to support a higher number.
my girl/ girl is new so it is stuck at $4.99/5.99 unless i ask to increase the rate, which since traffic fell i dont see how i could.
with the new girl tag things were great. the crazy traffic i had of rooms full of 13 people every few minutes, then yes i could see charging more.
however with traffic 25% of what it was a few weeks ago and 1000 followers.. i dont see that happening.
but 2 girls living full time off 4.99 a minute does not seem rational to me. especially for the hardcore shows we do.
i will check more accounts tomorrow during the day and afternoon to see how other rates are.
i am still pulling a decent weekly wage but i need more to make this worth it.

Oh my lord you are speaking my inner dialogue...I would LOVE to raise up to 7.99/9.99 (hell, even 6.99/8.99 where I used to be, but my income seemed to tank at that rate), but yea I'm too scared, and have been burned before at a higher rate, as I previously stated. Shit, when I went from 4.99/6.99 to 5.99/7.99 I had minor heart attacks every time 20 or so minutes would pass without any talkers etc. Maybe now is the time to do the raise I always wanted...dudes have nowhere else to spend their money, besides online, so it may be worth it.
ETA: I just did it. I upped my rates and I'm not backing down. I offer quality shows and do my best to accommodate what the dudes want. If I felt my work was sub par, I might be less ok with, but dammit, its time to make some motherfukin' money!
