Raising rates in times of need?
Would you say raising your rate when you actually need the money is a bad time to do it?
I watch girls (ones I look up to) raise their rates when everyone else seems to be complaining it's slow, and it seems to work for them as they're always in private the same amount as before. But right now I'm not finding it slow, things are great, I just need money quicker! So would raising the rate by 50p ruin a good thing, or is now the most opportune moment?

DO IT! I just did and I'm suddenly earning twice as much, nooooo regrets here :) I did it for the same reason also, because I NEED it...

If you are already earning a lot, you are popular on the site it might work. For me it didn't :(

You don't have to up them too much, but at least make sure your prices are not the lowest on the page. I made a mistake of being the "sweetest deal" on the page for a pretty long time. It doesn't drives more paying customers in, but rather gets guys think you are either new or desperate for money and try to take advantage of you. Here comes: haggling, demanding to make it 0.99 (or whatever nonsensical amount) a minute or do X, Y and Z to "convince" "or get ready"; pressing you into doing extreme or fetish shows in regular chat instead of Exclusive (especially when your premium is much cheaper than Excl); spending like three bucks on you and then acting like he's paid your college tuition; looking you in the teeth and picking on your real or imaginary flaws while condescendingly giving you hints he could buy a show from you; and also an enormous influx of trolls, beggars, pricks who "want to fuck IRL" and "Nice Guys" (they chose girls who are desperate or unexperienced and will wet-nurse their broke ass like a "potential customer") . If you notice anything of the forementioned happening WAY too often, raise your prices.

The truth! I :heartbeat this post. ;D
Re: Raising rates in times of need?
YES!! But the REAL trick is believing you are WORTH the raise!! Don't get discouraged at first if it's still slow. Girls with higher rates get more shows because that girl has the confidence to think that she's worth that much. It also elimates guys who would waste your time trying to get a cheaper shorter show.

I raised mine, because "why not" and left it and it seemed to eliminate a lot of the bullshitter free chatters, "stand up bb's", and 2 minute privates. I actually got a 15 minute exclusive about an hour after I raised my rate, along with 5 stars and an actual comment, lol
Re: Raising rates in times of need?
When I raised mine [ on chaturbate mind you I dont work streammate] I found it very beneficial. Far less private shows that were short and a waste of my time [lol 2 pump wonders] far less guys pushing me to go faster to get the most out of the show. I think what you price yourself as for privates reflects on your self worth to the customer. If you thin you can sell $100/min shows and are willing to wait for someone who has that money good on you! I think girls get scared about raising rates because you inevitably have to wait longer for a show. You are no longer dealing with the teeny cheap time waster shows and altho those DO add up [making it seems like you're making lots] you end up working a LOT harder for less.
