^^^ Way to go, Sarah! :-)
I think of it this way: If they were ALREADY willing to spend 4.99/min on you, is a $1 increase to 5.99 REALLY going to make them stop, scratch their chin pensively, and say "Hmmm.... well, actually, now that she is charging 5.99 instead of 4.99, this is no longer a wise appropriation of my financial capital, and I must reconsider. Even though that cleavage DOES look luscious, it's just not a wise investment at this price-point."
???
Uhhhhhh... no. They either will not notice, or they will not care. Not enough to make a difference in your bottom line, anyway.
Actually, if I may make a suggestion: Maybe consider changing the 5.49 to 5.99 right away? 5.49 has a 4 in it, and it's kind of a 'weird number'. I think Americans as a whole are more comfortable with prices that end in .99, and anything else kinda looks "weird". You might not want your price looking "weird", because then it makes them overthink it, and it we don't like it when they overthink. :-) Just a thought, totally up to you if you want to go that route.

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
Yes $2 a minute is AWEFUL. Strippers, who only get naked make more then that, dont have to risk being recorded, and are not fucking there body wholes. $2 is not a fair price at all . Then think about this : you dont get the WHOLE $2. So what kind of money is a girl trying to make? Mcdonalds money or Real Cash?!
Most girls make REAL cash because they have the balls to ask for it. MEN WILL PAY! They have been paying for ass since the bible. Hunnies Take the money, dont question yourself! if you cant ask for $5 its not the money, its something you may need to fix on your end. ( makeup, internet, lighting , rank on the site , outfit, lotion , whatever)

Raised my rates AGAIN from $4.24/$5.24 to $4.99/$5.99 and its going to stay like that for a while.
I thought $5 was high but when I re-read this whole thread I don't have to settle with $5. I know for a fact I put on a damn good show because they guys cant stop talking about it half the time. I also want to weed out the annoying ass cheap freeloaders. They say " ass bb, doggie " and there money runs out by the 61st second.
Take your $5 the fuck on with your "ass bb", cause you cant afford mine.
I always loved high prices, it was just streamate always gave me alot of trouble and most girls had bigger tits and bigger ass then me. SO i always kept it the same price. But now Im like who gives a shit what they have, because i am fucking sexy and offer incredible mind blowing shows, take my time to do hair, makeup and wardrobe, can do both Masturbation and domination correctly, so why would I be priced the same as a girl in her day to day underwear, barely remember clients names, and doesn't even do "anal".......
NOPE .
I offer good shit. Pay me for it or get the low budget bitches.
Amen?

I'm pretty horrified atm. I am on a site where they recently gave some models the option to change their own rates (previously they were set the same for everyone). Apart from me, ALL the models LOWERED their rate!! Some are now happily charging in the region of 75 pence per minute.. of which they get less than half! I have spoken to a few of the models and they, no word of a lie, turned around and said "oooh I didn't realize guys would pay more, it seems so expensive"!!!
WHAT goes through these girls minds?? DO the rest of us really have a shot at still making a living off camming in the next 5+ years if this universal lowering of prices continues?

Hmmmm that makes sense! I was going for a little at a time, thinking that if it is at 5.49 now, when it goes up to 5.99 they won't likely notice at all that the 4 changed to a 9! But yes, I think I would also stop for a min and think .49? huh? 5.99 it is........ :D
I'm at 8.99/min on cams.com and I'm always amazed that guys on that site will pay that high but, they do! Without flinching! I don't know why but for some reason I feel like I "can't" charge that hight on SM..... not sure why I have that mind set....?
Also, I did have one guy on SM last night notice the price increase... he said "Did you raise your rate?" I said, "yep, sure did" and he said "yah.... I noticed...." but you know what this guy is the type to join a gold show here and there and hang out in free chat ALL NIGHT LONG "supporting" me.... so I don't really care. He never does privates anyway so I'm not sure why he noticed. Maybe this was his ONE time he was going to take me private and decided..... 50 cents higher???? Nooooo, nevermind. lol ;) I'm sure that must be it!

That's the thing that makes me sad and disappointed about a LOT of cam customers... they expect us to be, for lack of a better word, porn robots. They can't seem to grasp the concept that there is a real person behind the screen that doesn't want to 'follow orders' or stuff every single thing under the sun into her pussy. Some girls are just comfortable doing certain things, and some do it all. When you're getting to watch a real woman get herself off for you personally, what is the big deal about paying some money for a personalized experience? If I bought cam shows, I would want the lady to take her time and enjoy herself in whatever way she saw fit, not to do as many 'tricks' as possible in a short amount of time. It's not a three-ring circus. It's not a race, and she's not a robot. None of us are.
To the customers out there who already know this, I love you. To the ones that don't: you seriously need an attitude check, or to spend some time with a woman in real life. It makes me sad that you're so out of touch with reality. Everyone is 'worth it', because it's their personal business, and their personal preference, no matter what they charge. That is the entire point of this thread.
/rant. Bump your prices up. Crazy lady out.

Oh my God. Thank you sooooooooo much for this post. It has giving me much affirmation. I used to do cheap Gold shows. I will NEVER do that again. I can't believe I EVER did ANYTHING that would lead people like you into my room. I'm soooooo glad I've raised my prices and have a plan to continue doing so. It's great to know that I've likely already banned you, and if I haven't, I will likely do so seconds after you enter.
YOU are NOT worth it. Keep your $2. You couldn't buy me a fucking house to ever tolerate your personality. AND THAT'S ONLINE. Good fucking luck with women. Seriously. Luck. I'm sure your personality isn't getting you far, maybe my lucky wishes will.

A woman in the adult industry calling a DOLLAR spent on an explicit show where the girl did ATM a "loss"? I don't see it. I could never imagine finding a woman's body so worthless (of such little worth) that I would feel disappointed she didn't gape her asshole for $1 and then asking anyone to pay for my body. Escorting or otherwise. This is someone who sees the female body as something that should please him (ugh I guess or her) at the lowest cost. You can't then want to use YOUR body to please others and bring in more than jack shit.
I smell a rat. A nasty, dirty, rat with a dick. One of those guys that says "Hi I'm Jessyca bb, show me pussy I take u pvt". That's what I'm smelling. Either that or it is a she and she needs a good bath.

I am occasionally a customer(I'm a bi, I like the females LOL), I'll drop by some girls MFC rooms to tip generously towards a countdown not to be nice, but because I wanted to see a damn shower show, damnit. I also buy other girls C4S vids.
BUT WHAT THE EVER LOVING FUCK. I don't think it's possible to be a cam girl and think that $1-$2 "isn't worth it". ...I call penis or butthurt camgirl that couldn't raise her rates.

07-17-2012, 10:33 PM
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 $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
Hypocrite or not, you inspired me to raise my rates and it is because of you that I make as much money as I do. So, thank you HaydenBlue for being so amazing! I wouldn't be half as good at being a camgirl if it wasn't for your influence and support.
I luv u long time, bb!

Maybe its just me. But when i go do a show with a girl I consider $50 cheap, because thats my limit. But $1 fucking dollar and sit around and complain? Please. Get. The. Hell. ON!
If you cannot charge higher prices oh well go eat crackers. But do not come in here disurpting the flow of TRUE hustlers with your bitterness.
If anything that post did was inspire me to NEVER EVER EVERRRRRRRR lower my rates again. For Life. No seriously.
CHeap motherfuckers DO NOT need to be on these sites. Cheap bitches give them that type of entitlement. As much as I wanna see cheap freeloaders leave, I also would like to put the cheap bitches on a boat and ship them off to CheapWhoreland.
I cannot fathom trying to see any girl naked for less than $50. I cannot even see myself tipping less than 5.

Anyway, just reporting in on my 4.99/5.99 rate changes.
Can we say YES LORD!
I have seriously spent a small amount of time on SM this week ughhh... maybe just 4-6 hrs? Im somewhere in the hundreds. Back then? I would be somewhere in the $50 dollars. EWWWW.
Im 100% POSITIVE, this thread is why I now like streamate. I am logging on everyday, talking to everybody, no cares in the world.
I cant wrap my head around why i get more shows at higher rates??? The quality of men is SO different!
I get longer shows now! Very little 3 minute shows.
Then when you get shows back to back it looks like you are in demand!
I love this thread so much that I bookmarked it. Please keep it alive.
I almost gave up camming a week ago to focus on my clip stores.
This is giving me so much hope. *hugs*

I'm in! Just raised my premium and exclusive rates on SM by $1 each, and am also raising my MGF cam rates by $1/min as of next Monday. I thought I'd announce it on MGF a few days early, I posted an offer about it, hopefully I'll get some guys who'll want to take advantage of my soon-to-be-retired "cheap" rate of $3/min over the next few days. I haven't announced the change at all on SM. I wonder if my guys will even notice?
I want to thank the ladies who've advocated standing by your rates and not going cheaper just because. I think it was Fridays(?) who mentioned that if a guy has $ X, he's got $ X +2, so there's no reason to give in and go lower!
Just today I had a guy on MGF try to get a show for $5 less than what I quoted him. I politely explained that I'm actually about to raise my prices and I am not willing to accept anything lower than what I quoted him. He said "Okay, let's do it!", paid what I originally asked, and left me a 5 heart rating. I was Sooooo impressed that it worked! I never would have taken a stand had I not read this wonderful thread. Not that $5 is a huge deal but if you shortchange yourself by $5 over and over it can really add up. You ladies ROCK! Thank you for helping me to see the light :D
"I am not tipping a 5 dollar show unless you hot of play boy top model looks or you have big toys and do toys tricks"....
right, because most bi/lesbian women only like Playboy bunnie, and pay large sums to watch them shove giant toys up their vaginas.
-_______-
I actually do like the playboy type I also have extreme fetishes if the model enjoys them, however I pay well for them because I am not a broke cheap ass.
So male or female if you are only willing to pay 5 dollars for a show it tells me you don't appreciate what the model is doing and you sure as hell don't think much of your own pleasure. I have always said cheap customers can't value models because they don't value themselves. /threadjack

I am customer myself on sm and I do tip girls in gold shows because i like them but I am not tipping a 5 dollar show unless you hot of play boy top model looks or you have big toys and do toys tricks ya i am cheap too sorry.. I go for the dollar gold shows even 2 dollars if they worth it.
Oh.... I have so much to say but I will leave it at this: Have you ever heard the saying that goes something like, "If you can't afford to tip the waiter, you can't afford to be eating out"? Okay, yeah. That. Just because you have one dollar or (*gasp*) maybe even TWO whole dollars to spare on a girl you deem "worth it" does NOT make you a good customer, nor does it make you worthy of a cam girl's services.
Hey, I am cheap, too. I get it. I'm seriously, seriously cheap. I don't own a cell phone, car, or even TV. I understand that the economy sucks and you want to save your money wherever you can... BUT... Wanting to watch your wallet does NOT make it okay to devalue someone, especially someone who is there for YOUR sexual gratification. I would NEVER expect a fellow cam girl to perform like a monkey for $0.10 a minute just because I don't "feel like" paying that rate. Are you fucking kidding me? Are you that insensitive, or just incredibly obtuse? If you really are a cam model you'd know how little that performer is actually making off of your WHOPPING $2, and to imply that cam models who are exposing themselves for all the world to see aren't even worth that? You, my dear, are a douchebag.
You want to watch cheap porn? Watch free tube sites. And do you want to know WHY that is acceptable rather than being stingy with hard-working live cam models? Because the girls in the pre-recorded porn you watch have already been PAID for that scene. That's why. They do the scene, get paid for that scene, and that's a wrap. You trying to get a full on live cum show for 60-120 pennies from a girl who is devotedly in free chat all day just to entertain YOUR stingy ass? Seriously a fucking disgrace. Shame on you. I'd think if you *were* a real cam model you'd know that this job is not easy. It's highly disrespectful of you to imply that a woman is not "worth it" if she asks for more than fifty cents a minute. I truly hope that I never, ever encounter you as a customer on any of the sites that I currently cam on. Those comments you made only perpetuate the stereotype that webcam models are cheap, interchangeable whores who are only as good as their "tricks." Oh my Jesus, I didn't plan on writing this much but it makes me REALLY angry to know that this ignorance is not only common, but is right here on StripperWeb!

^ Please note, I am not in ANY WAY implying that professional porn actresses are worth any less than/more than live webcam models. I just reread my post and I truly apologize if I came off that way. I'd actually love to be in mainstream porn, but for a multitude of reasons my circumstances woudn't allow that. No shaming, honest.
I only meant to imply that live cam models have the unfortunate obligation and stress of trying to convince low-paying customers why we are "worth it." Do you want to have an orgasm while watching us? The fuck yeah, we are worth it! I also feel that pre-recorded porn models are not payed anywhere near what they are worth, but that's not what this thread is about. This thread is about why live webcam models should raise our rates, and I fully agree that we deserve it, despite what the cheapasses say.
Yeah, so back on topic, I raised my rates today :) Go me? We shall see!

Yes that was me, im sure others mentioned similar things in other posts but I remember I was so vocal about it..
Its not like this ' raising price" is.. umm from $4.99 to... $27.99 !!! LLOL
but more like raising from 1.99/2.99/3.99 to 4.99
when we, models, as people, go out shopping ( just like these guys do, when they window shop aka log in out rooms)
and we see something we wanna get thats.. lets say $8...
and then we see something else, thats REALLY what we;re looking for and its $10
I dont think there is 1 person among us who wont spend the extra 2 for what we REALLY like.
Hell Im spending more for things I dont really like JUST to try them lol
There is a book someone sold and the book had NOTHING written inside, and it sold as a book! LOL :D
See what I mean..
People will buy anything!
Especially when its a bit overpriced, they are more likely to buy it.
why? cause it makes THEM feel GOOD about themselves.
ok, done for now...
oh and you;re welcome:)

I just raised my rates from 3.99/4.99 to 4.49/5.49 I will report back. I think the .50 cent increase won't be a problem. I have been on there since April, have 2500 people who have marked me as a favorite and do mostly FemDom shows and have a ton of toys, an HD Cam and Fast Internet with quite a few regulars and I spend a bit of time on my hair, makeup, and overall show. I will report back. I plan to change them to 4.99/5.99 by September and will report back on that as well. This thread makes me love my job! You are a luxury start acting as such! CAMGIRLS UNITE and STOP THE CHEAPOS!! 141raise

Great topic! I am new to SM and have been fiddling with my rates. I am at 3.99/4.99. I am not sure who said it but i agree I am not getting naked for $1 a minute. I have natural 40 F boobs, sound, HD, phone and encoder. I am worth it damn it! You girls are so great and empowering!

Okay, so SM has been slow as hell lately, but can I just say I LOVE that I've raised my rates! Why didn't I do this sooner???? I always check my stats after every private and I keep on looking and thinking, "Really? I just made that much? That's more than what I was expecting!" I can't wait to raise my rates again :D Definitely less work for more money. Now if only I could get more privates, I'd be set!

Daaaang.... Who wouldn't want to make over $100 for 20 actual minutes of work? Lol, I already go some days with an hour of no privates, at least if I did it your way the shows I do would actually make up for it. I bow down to you, Fridays :)

I was feeling lazy yesterday, so I only logged in for about and hour and a half on both my indy and AW. Between the two, I only did 3 privates and still pulled $200! SO not complaining! I decided that I'm not very fond of group shows, so I raised my AW group rate WAY above my private, so I can concentrate on one person at a time. I also don't do free chat. AND I'm still pulling privates. Granted, I'm not doing them back to back to back, but I'm still making money! And the guys who are taking me private are better quality.
I'm going to clear up my fibro fog somehow and do it again today!

Congrats! :)
The other day I was thinking about making my AW group chat rate higher than my private chat rate, but I wasn't sure. I may try it, and I prefer one-on-one sessions also (which is why I've never cared for MFC group shows).

I think I fucked up setting my ELM custom video price as 50 credits, and I need to raise it to 100 credits. I say this because on MFC I charge 1,000 tokens ($50 to the model) for a custom video. But 1,000 tokens is $100 that the guy spends. So I might as well have listed it as 100 credits on ELM too, right? I just accepted a request to do an ELM custom for a guy, but I had it priced at 50 credits. 50 credits on ELM is like $30 in my pocket. I'm gonna finish up this vid, and then make all future custom vids 100 credits. My bad.
