Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
I put my pvt up to £4.99 and grp to £2.50 on AW - just to see what would happen.......I was dead as a dodo but I don't think the traffic was all that. The minute I did it I had some guy I'd n ever seen before say "4.99 for pvt?? Are you kidding???" So I told him if he wanted cheap pussy to go choose from the hundreds of others. His response? "No bb, it's cheap for you bb" and promptly left!

Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
Fucking hell, susie, well spotted. Some guy came pvt and kept me there for nearly two hours (at £3.29 a minute), then we moved to skype. and the calls on AW kept coming. I had to log off at 2am out of sheer exhaustion.
Now I am considering upping my SM rates. I put them up but then took them down as I felt bad. they are 4.99 and 6.99... maybe I'll give it a week and see? It's super busy for me on SM now...

Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
So, I raised my rates and check out what happened! I can't raise my exclusive up past $13.99/min right now, apparently I have to hit a certain amount with the new rate before the system automatically gives me the highest. Regardless, I"M FUCKING STOKED.

Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
That's amazing hyori!! (Totally getting a camgirl crush on you btw XP) ... I'm really stepping up my game, styling my hair a bit cuter and putting extra thought into my hustle, but I'm still not confident to raise my rates on this new account until I regain my 5 star rating. After that, I'm totally getting in on this!

The only time I get low ratings are when I lower my rates.
Seriously I dropped my rate to 3.99 a couple of weeks ago in frustration and I got a 1, 2 and 3 star rating. All guys who wanted me to be dildoing in the first minute... IMO the cheap guys are the worst and if you want better rating raise them rates now!!!

Thanks for the pep talk pretty lady! I've actually only gotten one rating below a 5 since I started camming - no godly idea how I managed to avoid it since I've run into a fair amount of trolls but I haven't been actively camming that long so I'm sure I have it to look forward to. X) I'm at the default 4 stars right now just because my account is new and out of the 4 or 5 shows I've had on it today, only one person rated (and I make sure to remind them to - during the show! Fuckers lol)
My traffic is already pretty low and I really need to get my placement up. From my understanding, that means getting 5 star solid, having a decent paid time %, logging enough hours online, as well as all the technical shit that hates me. I must have set up my encoder stupidly cause I never get any shows and much less traffic when I use it so I normally just stick to HD Wide. My internet is gimpy and I have the fastest available for my area, so nothing to do about that. I feel like I'm running this race with my hands tied and an arrow in the knee so I'm trying to play my cards as smart as possible... and from what I can figure, lower starting rates = more likely higher paid time % = better placement = better traffic... and when I get better traffic I can afford to raise my rates.
Omg my brain is gonna melt out of my eyeballs. x_x That's what I've sussed out so far and I'm really not sure about it at all so if you have any advice to the contrary I'm all ears!

Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
I'm happy I raised my rates. Nobody complained about them and I actually had some new decent guys. :D My gold shows are still the biggest part of my earnings, but I hope to balance the difference a little bit, so I can rise my % in paid chat. Because I am so maniac with gss, I can't have a huge %, is never more than 35-40%.
-
Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
Yey! I got to my solid 5 stars and hiked those rates up even more! n_n Way less shows so far as expected, let's see if I make enough to balance things out.

Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
I raised my rates. The first days I was the same amount of time in private shows. That meant extra money, fast money. But now in the 6th day with my rates up... IT was freaking awful ! I did less than with my older rates ! Is it a normal thing for you girls? Do I have to hold on because there are days and days for the bigger rates? I hope it's just a thing...
-
Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
I've haven't cammed for nearly 3 months and now I am suffering from some sort of mystery autoimmune/inner ear illness, so I am finally feeling comfortable to raise my rates now.
I'm going to keep Private at 5.49 and have it stipulated that I'll take no requests there - just pay to watch me do things my way. And since Exclusive will be a more comprehensive experience for fetish, RP, taking direction I am going to raise from 7.49 to 8.99 (maybe 9.99) haven't decided yet. I don't have the energy to do tons of demanding shows anyway, so hopefully this tactic will make going back to camming less daunting for me. Fingers crossed!

Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
Just a little background since I'm new - I signed up on SM months ago but never made a dollar up until these past 3 weeks. I would start my broadcast and immediately log off because I was so nervous. I've been reading these forums for quite some time and I couldn't be more thankful! If it wasn't for this thread in particular, I would have probably started my rates off as low as possible out of desperation, and having no "new girl status" or regulars. But thanks to you ladies, for these past 3 weeks I've stuck to my guns with having my exclusive at 9.99. I've gotten at least a dozen exclusive sessions at this price, but last night I got this whale less than 5 minutes after logging on!

it was totally vanilla show, c2c, he was cute and he just told me to do whatever I wanted to do to cum a lot. He said he found me just by going through and favoriting models he liked recently (I asked because i'm sure my placement is crap, my ranking for time online is still "poor," but I have "good" & "excellent" in all other categories for ranking.
Thank you so much for all the awesome support and info in SW, I'd be lost without it. My private rate is at 4.99 and I've been doing pretty well with that as well, but plan on raising that sooner than later! Thanks again ladies<3

Update on raising my rates! It's finally working for me because I believe in it! I refuse to go back to lower rates and they are paying! My shows are much better quality because I believe I'm making what I deserve. So it's been win win! I'm sticking to these rates for a while...and the next time I change them it will be to raise them again! I'm making more than ever before with higher rates...and none of my regs have even said a word ;)

Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
That's fantastic plumwine, happy for you!! I just raised my excl to 9.99 too and got a nice 20 minute show pretty early on. Keeping my pvt at 5.99 which seems to make me more affordable to the guys who have to save up to get show customization, cam2cam and penetration. ;)

Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
It is fucking hard to raise your rates on livejasmin ! LOL. I guess members are used with girls that set a low price mostly. Half of my regulars don't complain but the other half is like: "ohh but i will spend less time with youuu :( i like to take my time :(" ... And than this complaing half comes private still and says "they are sad but i am worth it :("... Hahaha. I will keep it up, I think i gotta build up another member base- those who can aford me without complaining... But it is sooo boringgg to sit in the free chat area... I think really hard about streamate, is it hard for european girls to make money there? Hmm

Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
I would definitely move sites. I don't know any lJ girls that make even half decent money :-/

I am a European girl too!
LJ didnt work out for me neither, and yes raising prices was impossible too for me- so I left =)

Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
I had issues with LJ in the past. With the insane number of clients that like to "freeload" and the low prices, it took me forever to reach payout. Now I am using both SM and MGF and making a good amount more. But back to the topic at hand...
I raised my rates slightly ($1.00) and actually saw much more productivity than I did when lower...think I may raise just a bit every couple of weeks as my ranking stays at 5 stars ;)

Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
It's crazy how much better things get when the rates are raised.
