I am on 3.99 and 5.49. I've been on SM about three months but in October I want to raise them but I'm petrified no one will pay. Is 4.49 and 6.99 too much for a newbie?

Think I'm going with $5.99/$9.99 on SM. Tried $6.99/$8.99 and it was slow. I'm still going to tinker around with it but it looks like I get pretty good traffic at $5.99 so that's good. Hoping to creep them up over time. :)
^^You have to e mail support and ask them to raise them for you. Sometimes they do it immediately, sometimes after you meet certain stipulations.
oh i see! Wonder what stipulations! Thanks :)
I think five stars and maybe streaming requirements, idk. But never hurts to try and ask. They up them in intervals up to 5.99, then 9.99, 14.99, 19.99 <I think 19.99 is the highest right now.
On SM I prefer to keep my private price at a reasonable rate...usually keep it at $4.99-$5.99 and then hike up my exclusive rate to about double $7.99-$9.99. I do basic group shows in private for the guys that might not be able to afford the higher price in exclusive, but the picky guys who want something in particular to their fetish will have to pay the higher rate if they want something fetish specific. That way there's an option for everyone. I find that this works best for me.
I just bumped my premium rate to 7.99 and exclusive I kept at 5.99.. FUCK IT.. they aren't spending money anyway , the ones who are willing to pay 8 bucks a minute deserve to be punished then... might as well go all out .. just sitting here watching tumbleweeds on SM anyways while I am making money on all the other sites what is the difference.
I've been playing around with the idea for a while and finally decided to raise my Exclusive rates from $5.99 to $6.99. Premium will stay at $4.99 for now, but I hope this will go well when I log on next week!
Raised mine from $4.99/6.99 to $5.99/7.99 and have only had a couple of guys mention it. Feels like I'm getting longer privates too! :)
I raised my rates today, and I feel pretty damn good. I haven't actually tried them out yet, but I will tonight. For regular Private, I went from $3.69 to 6.04. And from 4.69 to 7.04 exclusive. ;) Let's see!
Edit:
I kind of started feeling bummed these past couple of weeks because I felt like it'd take me forever to reach my goals. I don't have time to waste, and I have AWESOME ratings and a great HD cam. so why the fuck not!?
I'd love to raise my rates I contacted SM a few days ago about it. I'm currently at 3.99 /5.99 and I'd like to go up at least a dollar on each.
i went from 4.99/5.99 to 5.99/6.99 I only tried it for a week and I haven't been on as much as usual so my placement tanked but I made half as much as usual some regs don't mind it but idk I'm feeling bummed bc I know I'm worth it and I know there are a lot of girls who can get away with those prices so idk why the hell I can't I notice I rely on gold shows more too when I charge more. Maybe I will give it another go and just try putting in more hrs at better times.
So on AW I raied my rates to 2.25 and 3.25 and the only payers I got were regulars, so I left it a week then dropped it down. I was still hitting my targets, but I was less busy. Now I'm at 1.99 and 2.99
On SM I am 3.99 and 5.99. I would love to raise them but I'm really scared I won't be busy.
You may not be as busy but remember at higher rates you dont have to be as busy to make the same money
In private at $3.99/min for 30mins an hour = $42/hr where if you are at $5.99/min it only takes 20 mins an hour of pvt to make that same $42/hr....thats 1/3 less time in pvt to make the same amount :)
so i raised it back up and put up a new pic things are going great i think it helps if there is an improvement or something different with each raise
Last week I wasn't on much. The two nights I was on was pretty slow, people just coming in and out. I don't know if it was related to my higher rates or what. Either way, I will try ONE more week with these rates, and if it doesn't work out, I will lower them a little. Not all the way back down to 3.69, but it will probably be around 5.99 and 6.99 for excl. Sigh. We will see. =/
I'm at $5.99/$7.99 on SM and have been at that for about a month. Thinking of raising them after reading from Ivy Rose somewhere that she had the worst quality of clients at $4.99/$6.99 so might bump both up by a buck... $6.99/$8.99 here I come! :) I've made a bunch of technical upgrades over the last couple months (new computer, cam, decor, ect) so I feel the increase is totally justified...
My SM rates were pretty low because I didn't have confidence but after a week, I have raised them by $1 each. I am excited for the possibilities of more money in the same amount of time. Yay!!!
Bump! I'm going back to 5.99 because the guys are nicer and because I want at least $2/min for my shows. I just need to not freak out and lower them when I have a slower period, because I just end up frustrated and tired with lower rates.
Just got the email from SM that I can raise my rates higher!! I'm nervous, but am going to raise to $4.99/$7.99 and see how it goes. MY BF said "you really think the people who are already dropping $300 are going to care about an extra $2 a minute??" ... I tend to agree with his statement :) Just raised them ,we'll see if any of my regs complain. Either way- better to raise them now then wait until I get more established on the site :) Will come back with an update!! :)
I am 3.99 and 5.99. On November 1st I will be going to 5.99 and 6.99
Let us see :)
I raised mine to 4.99 and 6.99 I'm sticking to them for the week. I've noticed a slow down in pvts though =( and I'm not getting long enough ones to make up the difference. *sigh*
I raised mine up around those figures too when I first got the email I could raise my rates but I went from being in like 70% private chat to like 10% and it definitely fucked me up and lost me all my regulars so when I went back to 3.69 no one cared anymore so I totally abandoned that ship and hit up mfc. At least I'm doing ok there and if I choose to do a private people are happy to pay $6 or $8 a minute for it. I wanted to go back and see if SM has changed since fall began but I think I've gotten too accustomed to the luxury of not having to put my clothes on and off every 5 min and racing to the death with that damn 30 second timer lol
Went from 3.99 and 5.99 to 5.45 and 6.99. First three days was fine, and today four people told me I was too expensive so I went to 4.99 and 6.99
uhhhhh what to do.
