I'm taking the challenge. Of course I've only been back in the game for a couple of days but I'm landing on the front page so what the hell.
4.79 in pvt 4.99 in exclusive. Lets give this a whirl. It's not big increase from what I started at and I felt like I was doing well.

I wish we could do something like this for AW girls too... there are still SO many UK and US girls charging way too fucking little, like less than £1 a minute OH MY GOD WHAT ARE YOU THINKING???!!! I want to pm them all and tell them to raise their price. There is NO good reason why any girl on any site should be charging less than the price of a burger to show her BODY, insert god knows what into where, while acting as spunk material for guys that would never dare approach them in real life!
this is so true one of the hottest alternative models on AW (in my mind anyhow) charges 1 dollar per video clip, doesnt matter what her clips are of. i think thats insane and sad. shes gorgeous and has her own niche she should be at least charging 5 a clip. O.o

OMG.i love this thread.To think i was so naive and scared to change my prices.If u haven't learned anything from stripperweb ,know this "raise your rates. You are worth it and if they want u they'll pay for it". Trust.

Is 2$/min really that bad? Not trying to be a bitch just asking because I see the 2-3$ range a lot more than I see the 5-6 range. It seems the girls that can charge that have been in the biz for a long time. I think as a newbie its not as easy to gain ground as it was 5 years ago when there wasn't so much competition I would love to charge 5 pm but I'm new not well known and not online a lot because I have a ft job. Seriously not trying to soapbox but being a newbie at least for me has been hard

If you've been caming for 4years and never got many privates maybe caming isn't a good fit for you? Other than that I would suggest raising your prices slowly, maybe changing up your hours, personality something.
This is what I'm doing...not everyone can pull off 5pm as a newbie but I really don't see how it makes every other camgirl look like a joke...please enlighten me

Hi girlies, i just started on SM about two weeks ago .When i first started i charged 2.99/pvt and 3.99/excl and i was always busy, so the following week i change my prices to 3.19 pvt and 4.19/excl and i was still busy but a little less.But What i really want to charge is 3.99/pvt and 4.99/excl but im scared if i do i will get less pvts because ive tried changing my prices before and it seems like i was getting less shows.SO my question is should i keep raising my rates every week by 10 cents or automatically go into 3.99/Pvt .I feel like im worth more than im charging but i dont want to get less shows.So when i found this thread it made me feel like yall were talking to me LOL. For some reason every time i get balls to change my prices i see i get less shows but it might of been just a slow day .Damn ,what should i do ? Should i try 3.99 for a week and see how i do?I just don't want to be sitting there and not making money when i could be making money.Because most of the time when guys take me too private all im doing is shaking my ass so i don't want to over charge for booty shaking :) what would you do in my case, this is really bothering me :'(
I had my prices set at 2.99/Premium and 3.99/Exclusive. My Bf told me to raise my rates to 3.99/Premium and 4.69/Exclusive. You know what? I get more privates that last a little longer now. I even bumped my Premium to 4.29. When presented with the choice of 4.29/min and being interrupted by other dudes and no c2c OR 4.69/min and being the ONLY dick in the room WITH c2c allowed, I have noticed that my Exclusives have become more frequent. I would rather weed out the cheap guys that last for a minute and a half.
Honey, you are worth more than you charging, so get the most out of it. Set your rates high. It says to that customer that you value yourself and are worth the premium. I started acting like I don't need their money and I GET MORE PRIVATES! Crazy right?

Thank you! Ans yea I plan to raise but working on paid chat sites are a lot diff like mygirlfund for example I would never have been able tp get away with charging 3-4pm right away when I started but now I have a lot of ratings all 5stars amd getting noticed more. But with no free chat customers dobt really know what they are getting until they have paid. I guess I took the 2pm to heart more than I should have...

If it's a niche site, $2 pm is kind of low. On my niche site the average pm is $4 and I know I'm angry all the time when I see girls charging half or less than half of that. If it's a big site, $2 pm is another thing, because you can get multiple guys in pvt at the same time, you have more traffic (much more!). On my site there isn't a group option; so to charge the same as on a big site isn't really a good thing to do.:)

One of my MFC regulars just paid to visit me on AW, and he said that he thinks AW is expensive. I was VERY surprised to hear that, because I think rates on AW are mad cheap. I think my group rate on AW is like only $1.49, and private rate is $1.99 (I can't remember). I told him that us models usually charge more than that on other sites, but we are competing with lots of women who are charging less than a dollar. On MFC when guys ask about Skype, I tell them that I charge 60 tokens per minute and have a 10 minute minimum. That's the same price as a private show on MFC. In my opinion, AdultWork is NOT expensive.
Also, I think he's used to how things are on MFC...where you can see public shows in free chat without even having to take a model private to see her use toys. On MFC a guy can pretty much tip 10 tokens if he wants to, and that goes towards a model's public cum show. Then voila...he's only spent $1 on the model (50 cents in her pocket) AND he gets to see her fuck herself...lol.

i first started off on f4f and i started off at $6/min and "premium" girls that been on the site for a while can go up to $12/min, when i worked on there.. i was NEVER in a private, then i switched to livejasmin and went to 2.49-3.49/min and i can be back to back in pvts on a good day, i gradually raise my rates on ANY site i work on so i can gain regulars that trust me, because if your new on any site and you charge like 6 bucks a minute, it'll be a little harder to get privates. So i think we should still raise them.. slowly but surely.

Just raised mine last night 4.99/5.99 ;) Which is a big step for me lol. I have gotten some comments abt it....."ur too expensive...blah blah blah" I just hope I never get the urge to lower my prices....I actually get into my privates now more, which makes my private performances better, which makes that $5/$6 worth it lol

I can't help myself but say this is. This one time I was on cam and one of the guys c2c came up. He was like your spying on me aren't you?! I had to lie and be like no it wouldn't come up....it was a blank screen. That's so strange! But really........my head was completely cocked sideways trying to figure out where his cock what and what the hell he's stroking. OMG my face was like "where the hell is it?!". Mind you he was naked sitting on the edge of a tub.
So fast forward......I see this random guy IRL and think of that moment on cam since he was the same size....everything. I instantly said..........."It's time to raise my rates again! If I'm going to have random moments of unknown men popping up in my mind I need to be paid more!!!" LMAO

Someone seriously needs to tell the girls on candycrib this. they can change their own rates now and most are STILL at $1 per min...:banghead:
ok its been a week after raising my prices up and i have to say.. it freakin works! i was worried to do it because i didn't consider my prices low per say.. but i did make more money .. granted i had more time in free chat and that does suck ;p but i do have a less chafed feeling haha my pussy is thanking me even after putting in lots of hours this week. i say if it works for you go for it. if i got guys bitching about it i just told them flat out i was worth it with a smile. almost always works like a charm

If it helps KDB, I'm not sure it's your rates that are the problem (though maybe it's given the odd one who HAS chanced upon your room a heart attack haha!). The problem is, none of the guys chat there, and they don't seem to be marketing/ promoting the live chat side of things very well so it's deadsville all around.

On Streamate I always slowly raise my price by a few cents every other week. Right now I am at 4.99 and 5.99. I noticed when I raise is slowly they don't even realize it. LOL but my base rates are always 4.99 and 5.99

07-06-2012, 07:06 PM
I have set my SM at 4.99, but I do not see any higher than 4.99. I am still in approval process, so that may be a reason? I think I am helluva worth more than 4.99! haha. I am glad I found this forum, so I don't go off myself as a very cheap woman. hah

Email support and ask to raise your prices. Most times they'll want to know what to set them at and they'll change them for you. This way they know what price to go up to for you. :)

As Ange said, you can e-mail support and request to have your rates raised BUT (just playing Devil's Advocate here) they may not raise them for you yet since you are still in the approval process and have not broadcasted on the site yet.. so they might ask that you broadcast first/get your star rating up to 5 stars beforehand.
CurvyWinona
07-06-2012, 07:34 PM
Okay, thanks. It makes sense. I'll let 4.99 set and build a bit of fanbase before I ask for a raise. :)
Peachesxo
07-06-2012, 07:44 PM
Don't even worry about getting a fanbase first, just get your star rating up to 5 (which doesn't take much time at all, you could do it in your first shift) and then send over that e-mail for a price raise. You can still ask for one now beforehand, but chances are they will actually do it/respond faster if you have already broadcasted and gotten your rating up.

LOL Who me?
I've been doing dollar gold shows :D No shame. I have my reasons for doing them - and I'm still 95% privates/exclusives.
But I'm a hypocrite. I know this. ;)
Regardless of who the model is,
Yes, this thread is way old. We hashed it out in another thread (I forgot the name of it - I think the model's name was Kush something who started the thread, it was a good post I'll search and post it in the OP when I have the time.) that if it makes you money - then go ahead and do what works for you and earns you the most amount of $ you can get, regardless.
I would have deleted/edited this post since then, but I think it is still serving it's motivational purpose to other girls. And if higher prices works for them - awesome! If it isn't and they make more $ at a lower price then they should keep doing what works for them.
Bottom line is max $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

I'll chime in... gold shows can be an awesome way of attracting new clients, regardless of how much or little you charge. I run gold shows when my traffic slows, and then find that I get busy as hell with guys paying decent prem/exclusive rates after the show ends.

So I finally made the jump from 4.99/5.99 to 5.49/6.99 and no one seems to mind the price hike! I'll be going to 5.99/6.99 soon and MAAAAYBE 7.49/excl. We'll see. But I'm happy to be making more and no one has complained at all, my regs didn't even seem to notice!
Raise em ladies! :D
