take it from someone who spent 2 years camming bouncing around at 1.99-2.99 for premium and 2.99-4.99 for exclusive because i thought i wasnt good enuf to be at 3.99 and 5.99 . YOU ARE . As long as u have a good enuf computer to run the encoder at high settings (and i think u do) that was my issue the whole time - my computer wasnt good enuf and i always blamed it on me . once i upgraded my computer and raised my prices OMG its been like night and day . fuck the fact ur room is plain fuck the fact over every reason you dont think u should be at 3.99- 5.99 how else do u think ur going to get the money to improve the things you want if u dont have spare money to do anything extra ? i could wright a whole book on all the bullshit and hassle and rude cheap over entitled fucktardedness i went thru so just trust me dont go thru what i went thru because u dont feel like u deserve it YOU DO .

Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
Since moving my SM account to daily pay I'm swaying between passing the 5% rate difference to the clients and staying where I was. From experience I've found that I can't sell enough exclusives over 6.99 to get me out of free chat for a sufficient amount of time, so that price point is staying.
Premium though... I've raised it from 4.99 to 5.24, and I'm not delighted by my hourly this week. :-/ I'll keep it for 3 weeks, and then we'll see.

Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
As a UK girl honey don't forget you're getting LESS than the US girls. Raise your rates!!!! xx

Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
God, don't I know it :-/ The exchange rate plus the London cost of living turn what could be a reasonable middle class income into subsistence pay.
I think my new benchmark for US $ sites is, "If my cut is any less than the price of a tube trip, I'm not doing it." Would I flash my boobs to get a free tube ride? Nope. Well, then.

Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
I'll do my first broadcast in sm on wednesday. I put my rates at 2,49/3,49 because:
my English is ok, but I'm not fluent and need to improve my dirty word vocabulary (I'm brazilian)
I'm milf, 37 years old, besides my body is ok, my face is pretty ordinary
I don't have experience at all, I really don't know if I'll be able to do this work, I hope so, but I'm a little afraid
computer, wecam and internet are the best ones, nothing to complain about

Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
Have a read through the WHOLE of this thread - over and over girls are vouching for the fact that they raised their rates from what they thought they ought to be charging (due to show content, lack of toys/ outfits, internet speed etc etc) and WISHED they would have done it sooner! There is NOTHING stopping you charging at least the average going rate on there which is 4.99+ If you charge 2.49 and then SM take 65% you are left with 0.87 cents. Are you crazy?!! You are worth more than a burger... WAY more. You are premium interactive entertainment of the kind these guys cannot get ANYWHERE else - there is only one of you. It doesn't matter what toys/ internet speed/ outfits/ experience you have, you should base your rates on what you want to earn - not even what you need.. but what you WANT! Do it!! x

Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
I just raised my rates for the first time since i started camming and you know what?? I can't wait to do it again!!!!! I've been underselling myself for too long and I am done begging for scraps!;D;D;D;D;D;D
-
Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
Sm gave me an automatic rate raise go ahead so I pushed that excl price waaaay up. I kept my premium price stable though because I make decent money with it at the moment and I have a lot of regs who would be sad if it was higher.

I'm afraid to charge more and get no one into pvt. Last week I tried for half hour in my older computer and the guys keep get in and out from my room without a word, I don't know if is because the transmition was not good enough and not on HD
I'll raise then to 2,99/3,99, starting tomorrow, I hope it works

Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
They will come in and out regardless, you'll always get the lookie loos. You need to give it at least a week when you change your rates not give up after 30 mins. Why don't you try 4.99/5.99? I think you'll be really surprised :) x

Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
Recently SM messaged me and told me I had more rates available. So I did a little investigating on SW and found this thread, it has totally inspired me to raise my rates because I'm worth it! I only went up $1 buuttt I have already made what I made last Sunday in less time and have had longer exclusives! Super excited to see how things go from here!
Also wanted to say thank you for all the encouragement! We are worth it!

Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
i believe you can raise them up to 14.99? Do eeeeet! Ok well if you're not brave enough to do 14.99, go half way? :D
Oh I just wanted to add - a couple of months ago i raised my rates on AW to 2.99 group and 3.49 private. I'd been hesitantly raising and lowering private from 2.99 - 3.15 for a while but never quite brave enough to leave it there. I didn't really mess with group and left it at 1.99 since forever. AnywayI thought fuck it and left private at an even higher level and raised group right up since I never get group shows anyway, it's always one sodding guy in there! And if anything I'm doing even MORE shows now than before, including group shows.. which i find completely bizarre but not complaining! So you CAN do it ladies, and the boys WILL pay You just have to raise them and then LEAVE them. One day or one week isn't enough time to measure if it's working out or not x

Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
We should all just raise our rates to $19.99 and then put in our topic, "Prove to me you have the balls to pay my rates."

Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
Since I started I have raised my rates from 3.99/4.99 to 5.99/6.99 and I am making the same if not more as I did when I started. What is most interesting is recently I have had a lot more exclusive, I had kept it at 4.99/6.99 for a long time then I just started getting guys going exclusive so I upped the premium to 5.99.
I have tried my rates at 2.99 for premium as well and I would advise don't drop them raise them! I made the same money for twice the work and twice the agro. All the guys at that price was rude bastards, it seems the people who pay the higher rates are also willing to stay longer.
So definitely do it ladies and stick with it!

P.s. Hyori, I'm totally going to do that on my scheduled day off! lol

Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
After I logged off today ..I raised mine to 7.99/9.99 ....do u guys think it's a bit much?? I only stream 3-4 hours is that even enough time? I was at 5.99/7.99 and I have no idea which pg I'm on

Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
No harm in trying. If you can afford potentially losing some money try it for a week... I usually try to hit my weekly goal then try rate changes. :-)
Who dares wins.

Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
Raising my rates today. Trying this again and hopefully it works out better than before. I figure I'm gonna need this boost with summer here. $5.99/&7.99 has to work this time...I've been stuck at $4.99/$6.99 for almost 3 years!

Took your advice !Attachment 41777
Its such a fun experiment, to see if they go with it. Have been camming with my pricechange yesterday for 2 houres, noticed I had more guys in pvt at the same time but no biters yet for excl. And today online for 15 minutes and this happened.

U gave me some courage.
I keep the premium rate the same. I used to have the excl set at 9,99 because for me the excl is just a bonus for who wants to enter. So I raised it to 14,99 (the maximum) and now i emailed streamate to higher my rates so i can try 19.99 too mwhahahaha

Yeah and the most I love is when i read : "You are so fucking expensive bitch!Are you crazy? I ain't gonna pay that much!"
I think you will do good if you focus mainly on premium and don't base much on exclusive.As I do haha :))

Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
IvyRose you totally inspired me.
I was having a shitty morning, bunch of cheap asses and my rates were at 4.99/7.99. Went offline and put my rates to 7.99/9.99 and my title to:
"I'm expensive... deal with it. I have to deal with your broke asses!"
Went back on and within 3 minutes I had someone come in for a 12min exclusive. Over the two hours I stayed on my previous hourly doubled!

Having been experimenting the last week with prices as I have sincerely lacked motivation, I can only reemphasise the point of this thread. Raise your rates ladies. I tried dropping mine to 3.99 and I got 3 ratings, a 3 star, a 4 star and only one 5 star. The 3 star was because they came into premium, and immediately told me to spread then said dildo, etc... You know the type! (He also said how sexy it all was then rated 3 stars, wtf!)
At the end of the day, the cheaper the rate the cheaper the guy!
RAISE THEM RATES. :-)

Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
I am just studying for an exam (marketing related) and came across the price sensitivity chapter... Right now I work on lj but I am afraid of changing my low price (due to the sea of low prices there). I do alright at my low price but fuck it I will give it a try. Rasing my pricesss dammit !
On a more advanced look : https://todaymade.com/blog/reduce-price-sensitivity/ ... I think some girls will find it helpfull... Loyalty is the key to reduce price sensitivity it seems . "If someone likes you, they'll buy what you're selling, whether or not they need it." — Gene Simmons
