I post 1 minute nude videos (non explicit) every single day though so I'm thinking of raising it to $10 or $15 per month, but I'm worried about losing subs :P
EDIT Like at $5 a month, lots of subs come and go. I'm thinking if I raise it, the guys who sub will probably stick around longer if they're willing to pay more to see ME specifically in the first place, rather than the guys who think 'eh it's just $5, let's see what she offers' and only stick around for 1 month.
I've found the same rate of retention regardless of price. I'm usually $16 but have tried 5 - 10 and for a long time was 24.99. unless you have a lot of followers from other avenues and/or do a lot of active marketing, you most likely won't get a lot of subs like 100+ so being lower priced will only hurt you as you'll prob have around the same amount of guys at 5 or 15. Just 66 subs at 15 is $1000, but you'd need 200 of them at $5 to make the same amount.

Yeah that's what I figured, guys who like someone enough to rebill will rebill regardless of the price. I hover around 130 subs at $5 but only half of them have rebill on, so I have to keep marketing to get new subs to fill up the ones that dropped off.

Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
Bumped up my excl another dollar to $16.99 and experimented with it for a week. I hit goal way faster and takes fewer transactions to get there, but I also really scare away the average customer lol. I wonder if I should lower it but none of my paying customers seem to notice or care though so..
One night I had a pvt/group where two guys wanted to pay my max $19.99/min, it only lasted 5.5 mins but I basically made a little over $75ish total. With two guys that means I made $14/min my cut!

Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
definitely raise its worth it! 7.99/13.99 on streamate is going better than I thought :)

Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
I raised mine last week to 9.99 excl and couldnt get shit. I put it back at 7.99 and started getting shows again. I hate sitting there making zip which is why i went back. Im rarely ever on SM & I'm essentially a new girl to most guys from what theyve said. Not a very popular opinion but right now it is what it is.

I've been 7.99 excl when i started and raised later 9.99. It sucked! BUT i raised up above $10 and instantly got shows! I dont know if 9.99 is a bad marketing number or what but it doesnt work for me. I had to go a bit higher in reality.

People get overwhelmed when there are too many similar choices. If they see a whole bunch of prices ending in .99 but then they see a random whole number it can help the brain relax and go ok I'll pick THAT one as it stands out. it works :)

Thanks Susie <3 I had my prices at an odd number when I first began camming & it seemed to draw in more shows back then. I will DEF give that a shot again :) I know my worth & I wanna rake in that coin that I deserve!

Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
I'm at $4.99 private and $9.99 exclusive. I only offer c2c in exclusive. You'd be surprised what guys are willing to pay just for c2c. Make c2c a luxury and watch those dollars roll in. It works! They just want us to see their dicks, no matter the cost lol.

Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
The rates you have mentioned are quite high, don’t you think? Because I have compared your rates with others and I found them really high for that area. Also, you should mention some more details about the area. That’s how it will be easy for others to decide because the area matters a lot. Before reading your post, I’ve been watching this site ptcl and the rates here were quite decent.
-
Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
I'm 9.99 excl on SM as well and offer C2C only in excl. My pvt is 6.99 but my income split on SM is about 40% gold, 40% excl and 20% pvt so I'm currently trying to decide whether to drop my pvt price a little.
@Belindas45 you will find all sorts of rates on streamate from 0.99 to 19.99 from all different countries. Is this what you mean by "area" or do you mean the models specialism?

Belindas45 seemed to be a spammer or a bot, Just joined today, only one post, and seemed to be talking about real estate areas from what it looks like.
Oh wow, I see she is already banned too so yeah.

Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
OMG I'm so happy I found this thread. I'm definitely going to do this. I've been a cam model on and off for almost 10 years. I've had numerous names and have always been a 5 star model. I love the confidence booster of this entire thread. Just recently I got back into cam and did really well. I made $409 with 10 hours of work. But to be honest, I lucked out that an old time client of mine (that's kind of a close friend now) got his stimulus check and took me exclusive for like 90 minutes. Other than that? To be honest girls, I always tell my friends "Yeah I make about $30 an hour but after an hour I'm fucking sore, I hurt and I can't make a 20 hour week without killing myself." That 10 hour week left me sore as shit and I needed 2 days off. I was mentally drained too. I got on today, and after an hour and $25 later, I needed to get off. I'm a BBW, so riding cock and holding my legs over my head or shaking my ass really hard gets EXHAUSTING. I think anyone can admit that drilling their asshole gets exhausting after a while.
I have really cute outfits, I even spruce my style up with wigs and props like fantasy devil horns, elf ears and fun crowns or bunny ears. I always put on a fantastic show. But today the freebie losers came in.
I'm 5 stars and I'm happy to be building my favorites. I felt like I was catering to entitled men with abusive behaviors being a cam model, and I thought about quitting until I saw this entire thread. My rate was $1.99/pvt and $2.99/exc for a while until I became 5 stars again. Then I moved it up to $2.99 and $3.99. After reading this, I pushed mine up to $4.29/pvt and $4.99/exc. I remember when my rates a long time ago were $2.99 and $4.99, it seemed to be ok. But damn, I gotta make more than a $1 a minute if that minute is going to be physically exhausting, you know?
You all are freaking awesome. We ARE worth more. We take great care of ourselves and WE are luxury items! If a dude can pay $12 on a 12 pack of beer he can freaking pay me $15 to get off. If he can pay $5 for a latte that'll last a few minutes he can pay me $20. Let's think about it like that!
I feel empowered. Love this community! I'll do it for 2 weeks and let you all know how it goes!
****EDIT**** I'm raising my privates to $4.99 and my exclusive to $6.99. After I read more of the previous replies of girls still getting decent traffic with FAR higher rates, I'm gonna try it!

Maybe you already know this, but using organic coconut oil and a glass dildo can keep you from getting sore. Stopped the yeast infections I was getting also.
Also I've stopped offering anything I hate or things that wear me completely out, like riding a dildo and don't enjoy anal so I don't offer that. I offer a lot of positions but riding a dildo wears me out so I don't do it (I tell them I'll show them a position that makes me cum better than that).
I've learned more about fetishes and put the ones I'm familiar with and don't mind doing in my profile (the guys will search the ones they want from that sometimes). When I made those changes I figured I'd take a money hit, but after a week or so I was making even more - fetish guys are loyal and some do long shows!
(and I don't have a supermodel's body,am overweight and not a young one either ;) you can do it I'm sure of it)! Give it a try - just a matter of finding your niches you enjoy. You'll be able to work longer hours and won't have to log out so soon because it won't wear you out as fast.

I'm at 8.99/min on cams.com and I'm always amazed that guys on that site will pay that high but, they do! Without flinching! I don't know why but for some reason I feel like I "can't" charge that hight on SM..... not sure why I have that mind set....?
Also, I did have one guy on SM last night notice the price increase... he said "Did you raise your rate?" I said, "yep, sure did" and he said "yah.... I noticed...." but you know what this guy is the type to join a gold show here and there and hang out in free chat ALL NIGHT LONG "supporting" me.... so I don't really care. He never does privates anyway so I'm not sure why he noticed. Maybe this was his ONE time he was going to take me private and decided..... 50 cents higher???? Nooooo, nevermind. lol ;) I'm sure that must be it!

Hey there thank you so much for the tip! I do use coconut oil, the Virgin raw unrefined kind. And I do prefer it over regular lube. Never thought about the glass dildo though! I hate the texture of "realistic" dildos. Nothing about them feels natural at all to me. I like your response you give about riding a dildo, I'm glad I'm not alone in that. Totally taking your advice! Thank you!

I don't do much penetration, but I second the glass dildo! It's amazing! I never tried coconut oil, but I have a huge bottle of aloe vera based lube with a pump that I keep behind my computer so I can sneakily access it ;) looks and feels great!

Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
Okay so far I have a little bit of results to share! Traffic this morning seems a little slow. But I've had two privates and have made $32.09! Both were exclusives for almost 11 minutes total. WOW. I just made over my hourly goal in ten minutes. Also, I raised ALL of my gold menu prices. They were all like $5. I pushed them all up to $15 and I'm super happy I did because a guy wanted to see my belly so I made $5.25 off of that instead of like, $1.75.
If I would have kept my rates the same, I would have only made $17.04. I have practically DOUBLED my earnings. A lot of guys did come in and leave, but that happens anyway. It's just way more motivating to STAY ON now. And if I don't get anyone else for this hour then that's fine. I only worked for like 12 minutes. It'll give me time to wind down and just chill and not feel so stressed. I could easily do this for 5 hours!
I did have ONE guy say "Wow, $6.99 a minute seems a bit expensive, don't you think?" I casually told him "You as a consumer have a right to feel that way. But let me explain something to you really quickly. My previous prices were what I charged when I started over 10 years ago. Inflation happens. Prices everywhere go up. I can't charge 2010 prices in 2021 and expect to make a living. I'm no more expensive than a date with a girl whom you don't see naked, or a 12 pack of beer or a pack of cigarettes. Believe me, I'm 5 stars for a reason with a lot of experience!"
I was actually thankful he laughed and said "Wow, okay fair point! I'm adding you to my favorites will you be on later?" So. I guess being a part-time realtor helps with negotiations! :P

^ Ya I got this recently too but then I ignored him and made my coin afterwards. I refuse to let these assholes dictate my worth. I've also (thnx to this forum) mastered the art of fake penetration hahaha which def helps me. And yes I'm a bit overweight myself & HATE riding my dildo ugh, I literally pretend to slide it in & just bounce my ass on it moaning LOL works like a charm.

Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
I checked out the models rooms. I did tip! I love girls! I don’t know how guys can’t give us their wallets and sit in free chat without tipping at least $1. Anyways I really felt like the girls who ignored the cheapskates and upped their prices are the winners. I’m gonna wait until the 1st, but i definitely need to raise my rates and have faith. Fuck the cheapskates. I’m ignoring them. Sorry your broke, but good pussy ain’t cheap.
I have my exclusive at $9.99
My PVT at 4.99.
We’ll see what happens.

Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!
I have a question. As a BBW, I was trying to get a feel for what other girls in my category charge. Does it seem like to anyone else that BBWs charge too little? I was trying to get a feel if I was charging too low and I went into many girls' rooms and they're charging anywhere from a $0.99 per minute to $3.50 per minute for premium. Very rarely did I see a girl in the $4 range. After looking at a lot of them, I think only 2 of them had above $5. Now that I am not under pressure to make a lot of money, I really wanted to give a higher rate a chance. I put on a hell of a good show and I put a lot of energy into my shows I am starting to feel like I'm worth more than $3 a minute. When I look at the thin girls on the front page, they all start at like $6 a minute and go up. Tonight I am raising my rate from $3 a minute to $5.99 a minute. And I am just going to stay on and force myself to let the bigger money come in. I guess I was just curious if anybody else feels that BBWs charge too little. With so many girls charging just a few dollars a minute I don't want to price myself out of business.
PS: BBW ladies, if you feel you rock don't be nervous to experiment with higher rates!

I am technically obese at 5'5" and 174 lbs. While it's true I do have some muscle as I used to train daily and was a fitness instructor for 7 years...I am a BBW.
I specialize in foot fetish and even when I was once 202 lbs I got called a hot chubby girl. I was high priced then and high priced now. My rates are $8.99/$9.99 and men do not hesitate to take me to shows.
Good on you for raising your rate! You deserve that. My rates are high for foot fetish but fuck all that bullshit. My skills are 12 years in the making and I am def worth it.
You may have to wait a lil longer for the big fish...but it feels better getting paid your worth.
