I get that too.
I've come to the conclusion that most guys who beg for gold shows have no money at all and never intend to join. They just think u will get naked if you get halfway to goal so they can get a free show.

^I've never tried that, but what works well for me is having premium and exclusive really close in price....like $4.49/$4.99, $5.49/$5.99 etc. If you do that most guys will go exclusive and they seem to stay longer in exclusive....But if someone does happen to choose premium then its like having an exclusive price-wise and makes it that much better if multiple people join.
Sing it! I started this week and upped my rates each day. From 1.99 to 2.99 to 3.99 to 4.99 to the tech support email to up my rates! I can't believe I had my longest–and nicest–exclusive today at my 4.99 rate! Plus a tip! Whoever said they were in love with the spendier custies, well I get it!Quote:

And the funniest thing was that he wanted a lot of my face and open mouth on cam toward the end, which was hot and sexy and all but my throat became super dry and I started to cough. Like, hard cough right when he was about to cum! Argh! But then I thought about what he was paying per minute and I thought, "Hell, no I am not going to ruin this guys orgasm!" and held it in until TEARS were streaming down my face.
I sort of made it look like I was cumming and then said, "Wow, that was intense." I was wiping the tears off my face and putting my bra back on, waiting for the ding that he had left and he was still there, waiting to say thanks and goodbye! It was so sweet but I still had to cough so bad... LOL!
Anyway, I do have to say I feel like such a baller. People might think I am a ho but really I'm a pimp. :)
Just raised my rates to 4.99 ex/4.99 premium. Will report back and let you all know how it goes! :D
I started off on SM with 5.99pvt/6.99 excl and so far, honestly, I've only had a couple dudes say, bb ur too expensive, and I just said back, then you can't afford me bb!! I even had one of them THEN take my pvt, lol. But other than that, I've gotten a lot of fetish guys, and they do LONG exclusives (25 minutes or more) pretty often! I have my first regular and all he does is make me try on shoes and spit in then and then wear them... LOL. Baby, for 6.99/minute, I'll spit in my shoes xD I actually plan on upping a dollar here within the next week again! So I can say that 5.99/6.99 has worked out WELL for me!
I emailed them a few weeks ago to raise it to the 9.99 so I can go up from where I was, and they did move it up and now I went to go raise it again, but my top is 5.49 again, I did ask them to raise it and I got a message back saying I couldn't change the rate while streaming, I emailed back saying I wasn't streaming, didn't hear back so sent another email, that was yesterday and it's still not up yet. would you keep on sending? I don't want to be a PITA
So I'm foreign, my english often sucks. I don't do anal, well, I don't think I do anything too interesting at all. I bumped my prices today too, currently I'm at 4.99 4.49 on SM, and they are paying it. Noone complained yet, I don't go up by small amounts, I just bump by 0.50$ or 1$. Two guys were like: You upped your rates? -Ya. *Hits excl*
For ther ladies who have your rates at $4 and above..does it discourage the 1-2 minute shows? Or does it make them worse?
Thanks for inspiring me with this thread, everyone! I am brand new starting tonight on SM and I decided to start high with $3.99/$4.99. Tonight I was really only going on to test everything out so I put in my show description that I would only do exclusive tonight. I was only on for about 15 min when a guy took me exclusive for 45 min! Then almost right after that, another did exclusive for 10 min. I made $95 in just an hour and a half or so, and I had fun! I can't wait til I can do Gold Shows but I can't understand the models who do $3 shows for 10 min. Just doesn't make sense to me. I'm worth more!
Definitely doing this! My time is worth the money, and I deserve to be paid more than a dollar per minute.
I sent Streamate support an email asking them If I could raise my rates above the settings and I got an email asking me what exactly I wanted to raise my rates to. This came as a surprise to me. I thought they would just fix the drop down box so that it went higher. Can anyone tell me how they went about this, this is new to me.
Just tell them 9.99, then you will get a dropdown with options up to 9.99
thank you, I was able to get someone to raise my limits a bit, don't remember what exactly but I raised my Exclusive to $5.99 and my private to $7.99 (Tired of idiots coming into a session thinking I should ignore the first person and then having to worry that they will rate me badly because I didn't recognize their fabulous authority.
Hope I am wrong but easy to arrive at the conclusion that someone at Streamate was being intentionally obtuse.
Nope, they're not being obtuse (this time). I actually had to give them a specific amount as well.
I ended up going with 5.99 private and 6.99 exclusive. I think having private at 7.99 and exclusive at 5.99 people just look at the private and decided I was too expensive. My earnings went dead until I changed it. I am going to go with what another poster suggested to me and watch who abuses the 30 second rule and then start banning them. Apparently I am better at raising rats than raising rates.
