Raised my rates to 8.99/11.99 this week with no complaints.
I am at 7,99 and 14,99...I would raise my premium at 8,99...hmmm dunno what to do :)))
Right now I'm at 4.29/5.29 and wondering if that's a good price or I could get away with 4.99/5.99 since it's painfully slow already lol.
Have you read this thread? Everyone is already charging more than that. THe only thing holding you back is fear. Forget 4.99/5.99 and go higher!
I just joined and went from 2-99 and 3-99 to 5-49 and 5-99, I cant go higher yet ))
I got my 30 mins at 5-99 right away and some more later,and the guys were nice, then guy tipped me some gold in free for a smile.
When I was at 2-99 and 3-99, I had all the assholes possible, I did not get 1 star rating but one prick wrote all the possible idiotic degrading tags (2-99 guy). thanks for this forum. I should have asked earlier, because I had wasted hours on SM for nothing and by the time when I changed my rates I was already tired (over 7h on cam).
I second raise your rates motto! Amen!
So I am at 5.99 now I am at the highest I can go . If I want to go higher I have to email in to streamate to get it changed.
I am hoping with the hours I plan to put this month. I will not only have enough I need for my trip I will be a comfortable position of earnings that I need to live off.
with cams I am at 3.99 I rarely go into nude chat if I do it is because I am split camming on SM and I've gotten a private show. I could lower my nude chat rate but I want to make sure my cut is at least a dollar. and the way cams calculates their % I am getting more of the rounding up side then rounding down side compared to streamate.
With my chronic pain I can't be on cam as much as I would like so I am hoping this will help and keep motivated.
Last night I raised my rates to 7.69/9.69, and had my best night on cam, ever. Tonight was the complete antithesis of that; I didn't make shit. No one actually complained about my prices, so I'm hoping it was just coincidentally slow and that my high rates weren't scaring people off.
I tried a few weeks ago to raise my price from 6.49 to 7.99 and worked 2 days until the website got full of cheapers. So I had to go back to 6.49, but I kept the exclusive 9.99. Best choice ever! I get more exclusives than privates. Have no idea why, but can't complain.
I'm in a comfort zone of 5.99/7.99....., ughhh I can't bring myself to change them!!!!
I'm saving up to buy a new computer so I can run the encoder on SM. My internet speed is pretty good, just my laptop sucks ass. I had the Logitech C920.
My rates are 3.99 pvt/5.99 exc
I've been a cam girl for about a year now but just switched to SM. Should I raise my rates or wait til I get the new computer?
Don't wait!
Thanks hun! Raised my rates to 6.29/8.99
Raised my exclusive rate another dollar, to $8.99, because it's been slow and I'm now offering more fetishes so I want paid properly for them! Gonna go catch me some whales!!
Doesn't matter WHAT your internet or your toys or your outfits or your looks or your experience is..... RAISE THOSE RATES BB's :D Everyone here posting that they raised them was having the same fears as you once upon a time... then they saw how great it was to have more money!!
I don't have fear - my thing is encorder is giving 15 fps so i am laggy now I am using the HD high setting direct in the web browser the traffic is wonky. I know those guys were paying my rates at 4.99 they can certainly pay me at $5.99 . the day I switched to
$5.99 I got a 2 minute private show and I was bafuddled by the fact just by a simple change I went from $1.75 a minute to $2.09 a minute.
that is a 34 cent raise instantly. Sure I might have to work longer hours but I know when those private shows come in doesn't matter if they are exclusive or premium i know those guys are really showing me i am worth it. if the guys who can't afford me they can certainly send me gold I willl take it.
As for gold shows well there are going to be some changes with that as well.

Progress report: I bumped my private rate back down from 7.69 to 6.69, exclusive is still at 9.69. I have only gotten privates or gold shows tonight, and I used to mostly get more exclusives than privates at my previous 8.69 rate.
This is definitely an experimental process... Higher isn't always better if it's not getting you shows. Also raising a dollar only adds an extra 35 cents a minute, which sometimes doesn't amount to much more than a few more bucks per show/hour, situationally. I'm going to stick it out at these rates for tonight and tomorrow, and if I don't see more exclusive shows balancing out my night then I'm bumping it back down.
Probably wasn't a good idea to experiment with raising my rates the same week that I set my highest financial goal, oops.
Side note/observation -- I do think Fourth of July was a good night to initially raise my rates, because everyone was too drunk to realize or care how much money they were spending. Kind of wish I had gone higher just for that night. Ah well. Next alcohol-centric holiday, I'll keep that in mind.
naf said. I'm glad I only worked at 4.99 or 5.99 for a couple of hours. Going to raise my rate again after my holiday. I'm too busy and getting tired fast even at this rate. 8)

So i just raised both of my rates. Now at $5.99/$7.99. Did my first voyeur sleeping show (who knew this was a thing. Being paid to sleep is rad), and right after I was moved to guest chat, someone took my exclusive for ~40 mins! He spent the first 4 or so shouting into his mic to wake me up lol. Then he just wanted to chat for a while and then do whatever I wanted to make myself cum! What a fucking awesome day!

I am having a hard time at my rate 5.99 this week. both shows types at the same rate. because guys who come in premium/private it seems to just get 1 guy in and the others just pop in and leave. I only had a handful stay in for a few minutes but not enough where I need to separate my rates or what I do in paid chat time.
Gold shows are a nightmare for me I haven't figure out how I can do well on them at all. I am starting to question this computer capability to handle broadcasting using adobe encorder. I've tried using OBS (open broadcaster) something bbrought up in chat and it just made life way more confusing for me.
I would love to get a i7 machine and using this one to use with adobe encorder for cams but at this rate It seems like I am going to have a tight budget business.
including today even though it is not over yet according to streamate I've have. 3 nights in a row of not making my target. Day 1 - $0, Day 2 $1.05 and Day 3 $9.40
Day 2 and 3 I had a troll in my room that was unbearable a pain in the ass. Day 2 I had a good day on cams so I wasn't able to manage my streamate room properly.
I am going away on a business trip at the end of the month. I need this check to be spending money for the trip. Holly crap I don't what to do.
It's been really slow for me this week too. I lowered my rates and it seems to be helping a little bit. I think sometimes you just gotta do it if you're just sitting around. You can always raise them again once things pick back up. Do what feels comfortable for you. I'm feeling good about lowering them because I know I'M the one in control.
Yup I lowered my rates.... To 3.99/5.99 I'm getting a lot of old regulars..rig now it's so dead for me that I'm not even tired at that rate..usually that rate I'm jumping in and out of pvts and am exhausted.im thinking of lowering my other rates on other sites. I will of coarse raise then when things pick up again.i rather do more pvts than sit in silence about now...my adhd mind can't handle a silent dead room!!!!!
I have raised my rates up to 6.99 for premium and will not go any lower. I went from working 6+ hours a day to 3-4 by doing that. I get better clients and have a better shift. I'm in a small niche so less competition so that helps.
Ladies I was at 3.99 for the longest time and slowly raised it up. You can all do the same. I highly suggest it. You will see that you will work less hours because their horny ass's will still pay.
