Raised my prices back. Not worth it to keep them low.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Well, the bare minimum I'd go for in 2020, is $4.99.
Idk how much you were charging before, but today $4.99 is a fairly acceptable price for charging.
I know many are charging less and make a lot, especially because they rely on tips, or the site is friendly and the share is big.
I personally tried a much lower price in the past month and I earned less overall, even if it seemed busier. When i looked at the stats, it was $1000 less than average. And the members tend to be more demanding at a low price.

So 4.99 for private & maybe 6.99 for excl? Reason I ask is bc I haven't used SM much since I signed up & I've only ever gotten a few shows here & there when I do cam on there.

Yes, that would be a good price.
My advice: try to work at least 6 hours a day/ 5 days a week. Preferrable is at least 8 ( or 40 hrs a week).
Test the price for a full month. You will have good days and bad days. Or even weeks.
Don't switch the prices from a day to another and don't let yourself be flooded with insecurity. I am talking from experience, after 10 years of camming and daily struggles with the self esteem.
Stick to those prices for a month.
After a month, raise it if you feel confident enough, or keep it to gain more regs.
Just don't go any lower. For any reason. Again, speaking from experience. You will feel miserable.
Unless you're on a site with a big share, like Jasmin or Camcontacts, where you can stay on $2.99 without a problem, for example.
Btw on Jasmin they made the minimum price $2.49, it's not $1.99 anymore and increased the max price to $19.99.
So even they promote bigger prices now.
Women are desperate nowadays and men became spoiled and entitled to cheap meat. They will try to put you down and insult you for your high rates. They will compare you with younger, thinner, better looking models who even charge less. They will make you justify your high price and feel bad about it.
Don't bite it. It's their own frustration.
$4.99 is not a big price for how expensive life is nowadays. And it's sex work. And it's LIVE streaming. It's not a clip or a pic.

ok, I'll try that :)
Yes they are beyond spoiled iMO. It sucks bc we all need to earn money & it's hard when they whine & or just disappear after seeing our prices they deem too much. I got shows before when I'd hop on, but I didn't stay on no 5 hrs like I needed to. Free chat drives me batty LOL

I know, but try to stream on more sites at once, or read an ebook or something, to go trough it. Take breaks, come back, etc.
You don't have to go trough 6 hours straight. You can stream for 2-3 hours, take a 30 min break, come back, etc.

Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
I raised my rates back up to $16.99/private and $14.99/exclusive and I've been getting more privates even though it's more expensive. I also raised my gold menu to $50/tits $30/ass $75/bj and $200/sph and I can't count how many people tip the $200 just to find out what it is lol.
Men on Streamate have cash and tons of it, ignore the fuckboys and the whales will swim along.

How is this even possible?! Here I am taking chances with my $9.99 exclusive. You are blowing my mind! Did you work towards this or just change it one day? I am definitely changing my gold menu prices but too nervous to touch the privates rate :(

I raised my paid chat rates slowly from $10.99/private and $9.99 exclusive over 6 months until I got to the amount I'm happy with given our take home percentage but the gold menu i just increased on a whim partly because i hate flashing a room of freeloaders.
Apparently it doesn't matter how high I raise it some people will always be free chat tippers but at least I'm getting some decent bag per flash now ;D
Confidence is key plus I'm willing to wait for the big spenders to come along and that doesn't suit everyone.

Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
So I think I'm gonna bump mine up to 6.99 pvt & 8.99 excl bc after the shows I'm getting , I'm just a tiny bit disappointed in how much I'm getting after the 35% cut. I've been trying to drag out the sessions as long as I can without pissing off the client but that only adds to so much.

Did you lose all your regs as a result? And did you manage to replace them quickly enough if so?
I increased my excl by 15cents, with the aim of slowly increasing it cause the exchange rate dropped and a few of my regulars commented! I ended up putting it back down. I'm at 8.49/9.99.
Saying this though, a lot of my regs are a bit quieter than normal lately so maybe the best time is now to stick them up a bit.

I didn't lose any of my regulars and I've still got regulars from my first day of camming in 2016 that pay whatever I'm charging at that time. If anything I gained new high roller regs by being expensive. I always worry for about 10 mins when I change something but as soon as I get an exclusive with 5*s I relax and know money will come.
You will get guys bitching about prices even if you are $0.99/min and you will get regulars that blow hot /cold all the time. I combat it by ignoring everyone until they talk whether they are new to my room or a long term reg and anyone who mentions prices in a negative way I block straight away.
The one piece of advice I can give is don't yo-yo, pick a rate and stick with it for at least a month. If your regulars work out you are nervous or unsure they will just fuck you about until you lower them again. The few regs that did try that bullshit I just told them to find someone in their budget and get out of my room before I blocked them. What do you know suddenly they could afford it and they still do exclusives now.
I'll say it again Streamate guys have cash, all of them even the freeloaders, don't buy any of their crap.

I read my reply back about your regulars and felt like it came across badly, I'm sorry if it came across rude!
I put my excl rate up by to $10.99. I was debating whether to raise by 50c or $1 and I decided to go straight in with $1. I had no issues getting new business and a couple of regs paid and did long shows, no issues. So that's staying there now! I also tried ignoring everyone until they spoke to me first and I felt a lot more in control of my room, so I'm adopting that method from now on aswell. Thank you for the advice!

Nooooo I wasn't offended at all! Sorry if my response seemed defensive it was supposed to be positive lol. Well done on raising your rates and trying a new approach :)

Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
Cause it was so dead for me on SM I lowered my rates by $3. They were $8.99/$9.99 and let me tell you: for that two weeks I resented every goddamn show!
Raised them back up and I've had my highest earnings day in 6 weeks. Ummm...raise them or raise them back up!!! Yeah it's a pandemic but men are still willing to pay for quality shows!!!

I had some cheapskate say I’m too expensive. 5.99/6.99 min?!?’ might try a gold show, but I’m a quality model. Maybe I should try the Gold shows. I’ve started them before and I never get anyone. In fact, I’ve had guys say they wanted to do one on one instead of a gold show. Good sex ain’t cheap. Looking hot ain’t cheap either.

I rarely meet goal. It's usually only $100 too. That guy is way cheap! I'm just not a gold show cam girl & that's OK. If you do better one on one, that's perfectly fine by many.

What do y'all charge for custom vids? I know the standard is $10/min, but I really want to ~ raise my rate ~ lol.

I now charge $15/min or 20 through sites that take a high cut. It depends on your goals too, I charge more as custsoms stress me out and I don't want to be doing them all the time. Some people love having a steady stream of ideas they haven't have to come up with themselves, so they charge less and (theoretically) make more customs. So base your price on why and how you want to make customs in the first place.
-
Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
I charge $10/min. I have been charging $5/min but members didn't bother to buy, so... I keep it at $10.
I personally don't mind long scripts, since i usually save them and develop new ideas from there, for future clips haha :))
-
Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
I lowered my rates cause it was so slow and the raised them slightly in November 4.99/5.99 I’m gonna stick with that because making something is better than nothing and I know if they don’t buy a show at that rate they are just cheapskates and to block the
for being time wasters. As soon as I build a fan base I’ll raise them. I’m only work sporadically and with the low traffic I feel like my higher rates were a deterrent. It’s only an intro price and I’ll raise them after the holidays. If I lose my regulars that’s fine-maybe I’ll raise my rates slowly? I might have to work harder for the same amount, but I think in January my business will take off when I start full time.

anywhere from $10-25+ per minute with a 10 minute minimum on most clips.
$10 being a non-nude, zero-low scripting clip.
$12-15 if they want nudity, heavy scripting, or masturbation.
$20 if they want anything anal
$25+ and a 15 minute minimum for a standard b/g clip and so on.
