Lol. I guess... just a little insecure- I'm not in amazing shape or anything and don't feel justified in charging $4+ til I lose weight. But at the same time, I know I'm a sexual vixen- so there's this huge conflict within me... :/

Dude. If you "wait to raise your prices until you loose weight" I'm sure almost all of us would be waiting a long ass time. DONT. Screw it.
I'm 200+lbs and am BUSY at 5.99/min and 7.99/min. RAISE THEM.
Trust me. Your self-esteem will skyrocket after you do.
You're welcome.
Yes, bb, listen to Hayden! BBWs can do amazing!!! Raise those rates, no matter what your niche is.
Raising your rates will allow you to get shows with better quality guys, as opposed to the cheap bastards who room hop looking to see who's cheaper. You can tell who the cheapasses are, cuz they're the ones who room hop, never even greet the model, and blurt out "5.99? Are you fucking crazy? You really think you're worth that?" LOL. The guys who say "Lower it to 1.99/2.99, bb" are not guys you wanna be doing shows for. Those guys are demanding and don't even stay in private for a reasonable amount of time. And please don't ever let guys on Streamate tell you how much to charge for YOUR Gold shows/premiums/exclusives. I cringe every time I see models allowing that.
She is right, I just raised from 4.99/6.99 to 5.99/7.99. I am over 30, red stretch marks BETWEEN my legs, crap ton of makeup, jiggly belly and all (all about the angles eh). I have been MUCH busier at the higher rate (Same time block, regulars and all), mainly exclusive. Tonight one guy jokingly said, honey you are not charging enough.
Look at it this way, my avg private lasts 5 min. 5min x $5.99 = $29.95..... It is $30 bucks! If a guy cannot pay me $30 to do what we do then he can go on with his cheap self, plenty more who will gladly pay it. $30 BUCKS! :-) I blow $30 on stupid stuff all the time. They have $30 - if they do not, are they going to go to private anyway?
As far as the $7.99 exclusive, mine get into intense RP, so I say you want to play that game you are going to pay... and they gladly did.
I just heard a great quote from a top notch paint sales rep yesterday that made me think and react..he said "If no one is complaining about the price, the price is too low."
When a couple people start complaining, you are at a good starting point and then go sell it baby!
I LOVE THIS!!!! I dare them to complain mwahahahahahahaha - it is only going to feed me.
I used to do 750 tokens til topless, and then 750 tokens til naked, but recently I decided to be brave and start raising it. So now I do 1,000 tokens til topless, then 1,000 tokens til naked. I did that tonight (or last night, I should say), and when topless/naked was completed, I said what the hell and added a new topic of '1,000 tokens til baby oil/sexy cam angles/boob bouncing and booty-clapping'. And I completed that too, and then got more tokens after that. :)
That's what I like to hear, Foxy Lady!
PS get verified plz. We would love you in there!
Out of shape isn't a big deal. I used to think I had to be ultra hot to cam, but girls next door are quite appealing, too. I've been complimented for having a soft tummy mmm bb just the way I like it over Xmas when I ate like crazy lol
ALRIGHT GIRLS!!! I decided to raise my prices too! It seemed like things were going slower for me on MFC. I figured that they got so used to me that they knew that I was going to get naked at some point every time. Rather than freaking out and lowering my prices, I just thought:
"Fuck. Them."
I raised my prices from 1000 tkns to 2500 tkns to get naked in free chat. If I don't hit it in an hour and a half, I log off. I now hit it on time 2 out of 3 times.
I raised all my prices for everything too. Now if they want content, they have to pay a monthly membership. They want panties? They have to pay for a membership for the privileges AND the panties. They want a private? Yup, you guessed it. Monthly membership.
I need a new crowd anyway. Thanks for the encouraging thread ladies!
so like on adultwork i set my group show to only 0.10 less credits than my private show cause like EVERYONE goes group show. it requires one 2 start it and hardly ever anyone else joins. i know instantly that when someone clicks group they are a cheap bastard. i originally had group at 0.40 less credits but it just wasn't worth it since no1 else ever joined to make it aactually a GROUP show. lols. I wont be reducing it either. I had an experiment one night when it was slow and changed my rates to cheap cheap cheap (wasn't actually gonna accept any of the shows) and i still didn't get any show invites. so it made me realise that when it's slow it's because they're no customers and not because I'm too expensive. :) Yay 4 high rates.
i keep my rate not working for a studio priv $4.99 and excul $5.99 i do ok . happy i found this forum .
Why not bump up that exclusive?
If you sometimes have more than 1 person in private you are actually losing out if you go exclusive... 2 ppl in pvt = $3.49/min your cut 1 person in exclusive = $2.10 your cut.
If they want you alone they WILL pay $7.99, $8.99, $9.99 +/min
Just a suggestion that worked well for me :)
I'm totally stealing this for my signature :)
You just convinced me too. Thanks Beth! Now my prices are $4.99/6.99 :)
I just raised my prices on SM to $5.99/$7.99! We'll see how it goes! Thanks to all of you ladies for the motivation!!
I might just try too lol
Just reporting back that after taking Beth's advice, I had my highest earning day ever :)
I raised it to 5.99 and 7.99 and only one guys bitched but still bought shows anyways they were just a little shorter than usual. Trust me the guys who take you exclusive at that rate tend to be classier because let's face it if you are paying upwards of 8 bucks a minute you don't mess around and it really does add up and that helps when it's SLOW.

I am afraid I've maxed out on this challenge. ;)

Newbie reporting. I tried out $3.99 premium / $4.99 exclusive. I was getting about 1-2 shows for 3 hours time, and the shows were 15-20/mins long. Sitting in free chat for 3 hours is mind numbing, but I managed it several times. I lowered my rates by $1 each for the next 2 days. I barely saw an increase in shows, and after it all I felt pretty cheated by how much I had made. I guess I'll raise it back and figure out what to do during the long waits. I hope to god it gets better. I'm actually horny and want good traffic so that I'm entertained! }:D
As a side note, I'm niche. I have a good Logitech cam. I have just OK lighting. I have phone service now (oh but SM is giving me a crap time with that, so I guess I don't for now). I've decided not to offer anal for the time being because of the hassle. I'll offer role play if they ask, but I'm a noob and need victims to practice on. I have two vibrating dongs that every guy seems to hate, but I improvise with other stuff that they seem to like very well. I kind of want to ask if I'm charging too much as a noob and all, but I don't want to go back to lower rates either. I'm on the fence, and I have meager bills that need paying! I'll figure this out, but gosh it's frustrating. >:(
