My own rates are now set at 5.99 premium and 14.99 exclusive just because they keep my privates flowing at a rate I can manage without my energy completely vanishing... And my job ain't pretty when I'm running on no energy (I flat-out don't work, it's been that bad) I've struck many a point in my camming career now where I'm getting a good idea of where my boundaries are with just how much free chat I can work before I land a big spender.
We all got our own unique ways. :) As long as you're happy with what you're getting, and (I guess), have tried and tested higher rates out for yourself to see how it goes for you. It's always a pretty splendid and exciting thing to test boundaries where rates are concerned, but sadly that often also goes hand-in-hand with pushing your own comfort boundaries with how much free chat bullshit freeloading shit you can take. ~ If only we could have one without the other!

No doubts :)
What's that thread on AFC? "Text is easy to misinterpret" compared to hearing someone say something and analyzing thier intent.. I think sometimes we all need to keep that in mind while online.
But for my 2 cents... I like being at $5.99... I'm sure I could pull $8.99 off for premium but I actually like having a large customer base to pull from, like Sarah said guys will pay high rates but they are not every guy. Once you get over say $7.99/min some guys will be like oh wait that's more than some ppl make in an hour... For a minute. I have my exclusive set very high so guys with the money who can afford the special attention come my way.
Another point to make with having your premium lower... Sometimes it's nice to have 2+ ppl in your premium. Last week I had a show where 7 ppl were in one at once @$5.99... I feel like that is far less likely to happen at $8.99+

Re: Expedited Streamate Approval + RAISE YOUR RATES!
I raised my premium rate by $1 yesterday($3.99 to $4.99) and put my exclusive up to $6.49. Not only did I not get a single Exclusive asshole bringing me in for 10 seconds and leaving, but I had record numbers of guys in my private shows(4-5 at a time) and less peakers. Raising your rates really does work on SM!

Re: Expedited Streamate Approval + RAISE YOUR RATES!
I am going to try really hard to stick to 4.99/5.99... that's fair..probably on the low side for some of you, but I know it will keep the abusive, "puke for me baby" types looking for 2.99 shows away. Gross....How is that even sexy???? Those dominant, borderline abusive types piss me off because they aren't good at domming, just sadistic.

I don't get the puking....I know everyone has their own fetishes but whatever...It's against site rules either way
I am more submissive irl but I REFUSE to sub on cam as well as most other girls because a huge majority of guys online who claim to be doms are plain abusive and have watched way too much smut to know what dom/sub actually means..

Re: Expedited Streamate Approval + RAISE YOUR RATES!
FWIW, this thread did prompt me to up my rates $1 each last night.
I had been at the higher rate before and been fine, but somehow got the "oh, I took a break, not on a regular schedule, blah blah blah" BS in my head and set it lower, which only leads to, "oh, if I bump it back up my new regulars will feel duped, BLAH BLAH effin BLAH" total BS.
So I changed it, and boom got an exclusive with a regular who didn't even bat an eye. /loserstsatus

Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
I put mine up a dollar on my exclusive and I may do the same for private. I'm currently at 4.99 private and 6.99 exclusive. I find the guys who take me exclusive tend to stay longer, are more loyal, enjoy more conversation, and stay longer. Ladies remember you want to attract class and sometimes that means having a higher rate you are worth it and if they don't see that then they are not worth your time. Oh and I know it's slow right now but it only gets better but man will I be happy when the tax season ends :P

Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
wow you ladies charge high! i was looking around AW and i always seem to be the highest or second highest charging girl on there and it seems a pittance compared to some of the rates in this thread. only had two guys mention it (then again i'm less than a week old), i try to shame them for bringing it up- "no one else seems to mind... maybe you should go for something cheaper?" ;}

I think most of the models in this thread are talking about their rates on Streamate (my exclusive is 5.99/min). AdultWork models tend to have cheaper rates. Seriously...AdultWork is the only site you'd catch me charging less than $3/min.

Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
Why are you charging less than $3 hun? Average pvt rate on aw is around £2.50 which is $3.79 ...
SM prices are higher because they only pay a measley 35%
Anyway, people shouldn't be charging based on what others charge, but instead on what they want to EARN!
-
Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
Adultwork pays in sterling pounds which has a higher value that american dollar therefore the difference. One credit there is 1 GBP
-
Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
I make .80 cents for every dollar. And I'm on all the main sites. Wow, this is a cheap deal.

Because based on the old posts I've seen on here (AW Thread) and the profiles I've seen of fellow USA AdultWork models, charging over $3/min. is like unheard of on that site. Unless that's suddenly changed recently?

Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
*deep breath* I am raising my rates from what I thought was a fairly steep price of 5.99/7.99 on SM. It feels like jumping from the high dive but the few days I cammed this week were so busy I was too wiped out to work beyond 20 hours. I don't mean to humblebrag because I am just lucky that I hit a few popular niches and my regular hours paid off in my placement within those categories.
Seriously, I am not doing anything special, but I was changing clothes so fast I was sweating. My regulars messaged me that I am so popular and am busy when they look for me. I think a price bump might be in order but it makes me kind of want to throw up in my mouth a little.
Here goes nothing. Wish me luck. o_0
ETA: I know my current rates aren't steep in comparison to some of the foxy ladies here; they just feel steep for me. If anyone is below that I would encourage you to try that price point. :)

girls do charge very low on AW. its balanced out by the percentage though, i think, which is generous compared to SM. i charge 2.99£ in pvt, a lot of girls there are charging considerably less.

Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
I set it at max, at 4.99 private (I forgot what was for exclusive) when I joined, on first day. :)
I'm still staying at 6.99 pvt / 9.99 exclusive and I still do okay. Less work and have more respectful guys in privates. I still get few guys in private at once, so that's even nicer. 2 guys = $12.98 per minute in private! I am able to earn $100+ in just couple hours. Higher rates really help on very slow days!
Keep up, girls!! :)

It might be a daring move for a new girl, but I. Am. Worth. It. I'm cute, fit and personable and pretty unique for my category (Ebony).
Looking forward to seeing how this goes!

Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
I think some of you may be getting confused with the aw credit rate - 1 credit = £1, so $3 is £1.97 ish. Most are charging more than that for pvt or very close (uk/ us/ australian/ italian etc at least). The ones with lower rates are usually inexperienced/ new and don't yet know their worth, or studio girls x
-
Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
Yes, charging eg $3 on SM is completely different to charging 3 credits/min on AW. The Pound is a long stronger than the Dollar.
On Streamate $3 - 65% = $1.05 take home per minute
On Adultwork 3 credits = £3 - 30% = £2.10 = roughly $3.2 take home per minute.

This is where I was at last night... it was definitely a slower working pace which enabled me to stay on longer without tiring out. However I wore myself out talking between sessions–my throat is sore today! I am toying with the idea of putting PVT back at 5.99 to maybe have a happy medium.
Even though I know I am waaaay too chatty in free, I just can't stop my running commentary once I flip my "on" switch. It's fun for me and my guests but it works against me because it's too entertaining for them to want to start a session. Then new people come in and I suck them into the discussion, too. You would think I'm auditioning to be the next Orpah Winfrey!
Once I get my pole up the physical action may help me shut the hell up for a minute. :)

Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
Just raised my Premium rates from 2.99 up to 3.24-- totally forgot I had it set so low! Nervous about what it'll do to my Pvt shows though... :/
But I've had my Excl set at $4.24 and it hasn't effected the excl sessions much... fingers crossed!

Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
Why are you setting your sights so low when you clearly see that most models on here that work sm are much higher priced (even before they raised their rates)? Raise em girl, at least a couple more dollars on each!!
