Keep plodding on hun. I'd say I've been doing great, except I am STILL sitting here watching bad tv instead of camming!! gah!

Re: Adult work prices.... for real?
WE SHOULD ALL BE EXPENSIVE!!! WE ARE WORTH IT!!!! camming should be more of a luxury than cheap/free porn and guys should think of it as spoiling themselves or better yet, we should be attracting men who have the budget to spoil US. charging minimum price seems like it would work better but i think it only hurts us all in the end. i'm not saying i haven't had my days where i've marked my price down super low because i'm having a bad/slow day, but if we all up our prices those days will be more few and far between. :) if only we could get this idea through to all 10 bazillion cam girls out there. . . . .

Re: Adult work prices.... for real?
Take advantage of the limited free chat time. I do free chat, but only for five minutes a day for each individual user. If they're not serious, they don't get to waste a lot of time before they get booted out. I sometimes keep my groups and my private rates just a liiiiiittle close to eachother, because I find that some guys will cheap out and try to go group. If they do it when the prices are closer to eachother, I don't have to get bummed about it because more guys will end up paying me at once :D
I often try to keep group chat at the absolute MINIMUM of what I am trying to make per person, and I'm perfectly happy keeping it even under a pound. Those .7's add up real quick if you get multiple guys in a room!
My standard rates end up being .7-.9/1.2-1.3, depending on exchange rate when I sign on.

That's all I was going to give them too. Enough time to see me, hear my voice, ask a question and make a decision. Heck some jerk off in less than 5 min!

Re: Adult work prices.... for real?
The thing you ladies need to understand is the global marketplace and economic conditions that are standard in each and every country your customer base is drawn from. Adultwork caters to male clients from the UK. You need to understand the economy of the UK to do well on that site. Do not bring your American understanding of money to the table.
For starters one thing that makes American consumers spend more money in general is the availability of credit. In the UK and much of Western Europe credit is not that easy to obtain. UK customers seem like "cheap wankers". The problem is that each and every minute he spends with you on the phone or cam it is coming directly out of his bank account through his debit card. Credit is essentially buying something on a loan. You pay it back in small amounts each month. Most Europeans do not have credit cards. They have debit cards. So he needs to budget a lot more than your American male consumer.
Secondly, in Western Europe the people pay HIGH TAXES. This leaves the male UK client with even less money to spend. He has less disposable income than your average American male client. So this will have him trying to get as much as he can for free and only spend a few minutes with you in private if he chooses to take you private.
To make matters worse food, gas, and housing are VERY EXPENSIVE in comparison to the United States. My father is English and I have family in England. One of my cousins came to visit me from England. We went to Whole Foods to do grocery shopping. She thought that Whole Foods was CHEAP!!!! Ladies, Whole Foods is probably one of the most expensive grocery stores in the United States. Do you see my point???!!!!
So please ladies understand money and understand the economic conditions of every country your clientele is being drawn from. This will leave you less frustrated.

Oddly enough, I've found AW clients to spend WAY more than US clients (on a site like Streamate). My privates in AW last a LOT longer than SM's "three minute wank & go" sessions.

Same. Cheapos are cheapos, no matter what country they're from. And everyone right now thinks they are facing rough times with $, even if they are not by other country's standards. It's all about what they choose to spend their money on, and what they consider disposable income, and non-disposable.
For some men, money for cams doesn't even fall into the disposable category, it comes into the necessity category ;D And that should be our goal here ladies.

One of the reasons why I believe guys in AW spend more money is that it's a much more relaxed vibe.
In SM it's a constant hustle, whereas AW they just want a great show straight away.
*I don't use Free View on AW

Re: Adult work prices.... for real?
I'm going to try 1.20/2.00... I think that's fair . Maybe too high for a newbie on there? But I'm experienced dammit!
Also, I don't see anywhere to enter prices for chat only or is that a flat rate?

Thank you so much for educating me on this. That is exactly what I was calling the UK clients. Well, except replace wankers with assholes. I have a better understanding of it now.

When Princess Jenny pays us then via daily pay, does that get converted to US dollars or do I end up with a bunch of pounds? LOL..

Re: Adult work prices.... for real?
Yes those are pounds hon. AW are based in Belize so they pay in euro, then it is converted to dollar or pound etc for DP which is why you won't always get the exact amount stated on your credits page.
-
Re: Adult work prices.... for real?
Hmm..well then I'm not sure what rate to start at then. I guess I'll try what I posted and if that seems to be to high, I'll lower it and then just see what my Daily Pay amount ends up being.

Amen! "WE ALL SHOULD BE EXPANSIVE!!!" Cheap attracts cheap... I don't understand how anyone would charge less then 2.99 - I would never. Sorry Ladies. Remember the 80's 3.99 per minue phone sex ads? Well it's 2011 and now it's cam shows!!! The way I see it - all them wankers should be grateful that I allow them the privilege of seeing Me on cam, if and when I do. Pay to wank - and I want them to pay hard, if they don't have the money, they should find a cheaper hobby. ;)

I think your suggestion is really good.
I've been on Aw for a long time and the odds of making money there are good

If you charge $3.99 in pounds on adultwork you are actually charging them $6.48 in US dollars aren't you?
I'm not sure you'd get many shows at that rate.
