Raising Rates on Streamate? What are top models comfortably charging by minute?
Hi Ladies,
Please direct me if this thread already exists somewhere.
I just started on Streamate and I have been doing a consistent 5.99/pvt 7.99/excl rate and got offered higher rates by Streamate. I'm torn because my clientele base has been rising with my rates the way they are, but now that the option has presented itself,
1. should I raise my rate?
2. what is the range high demand models charge for pvt/excl?
I don't want to undercut myself, but I also don't want to turn people away with a rate that barely anyone is asking for. Any advice? thanks ladies.;D:-*

Re: Raising Rates on Streamate? What are top models comfortably charging by minute?
I was a little shocked that a few top models charge what I charge. To be honest, I don't think it's best to charge what others are charging... that may sound a bit off'ish but totally intended to be inspiring. Charge what you feel you're worth! BEST ADVICE EVER. Seriously. I do know alot of models charge over $3.99+ (majority) and do well. Being at $1.99 will bring in CHEAPOS!

Create a custie account, find out for yourself. I charge $6.99/$7.99 a min and I'm usually in the top two rows. I'm comfortable with my prices. And I make a good amount with what they are at now

And if u don't have a customer account you can still see the premium rate of a model if you search them on www.gowebcams.com

They are not accurate though. Just checked myself and it show my prices from 3 years back when I first started out!

Re: Raising Rates on Streamate? What are top models comfortably charging by minute?
Thank you for the suggestions. I raised my PVT rate to 6.99 and reached my financial goal without complaint today. It does help to sort out bad clientele by raising rates and like the thread challenge said "stick to it"!

you might try reviewmycam.com they tend to update it daily

Re: Raising Rates on Streamate? What are top models comfortably charging by minute?
Weirdly, reviewmycam hasn't updated my pricing since December 2013, but gowebcams is accurate for me.
To answer the OP, I would experiment with your rates and see what works for you. It's all about finding that balance between being too busy with low rates vs. zero traffic with too high rates. Also, doing Gold shows is a pretty big factor. Keep in mind that a lot of top models *heavily* rely on Gold shows, which makes their private/exclusive pricing plan different.
I'm in the top three rows and I'm currently at 5.99 Pvt/8.99 Exc, but it's not unusual to see Exclusive rates at $10-15/min for similar models.
EDIT: I just upped my pvt rate to 7.99 to test that out. Getting tired of wasting time with all the minute men and peepers in private. It's way too easy to get stuck in the "one guy leaves after 30 seconds, next guy shows up immediately, then leaves after 30 seconds" loop where you could end up making NOTHING for however long you're stuck there.
I've consistently been making 20% or less of my earnings from Private lately (only TEN PERCENT for the month of August so far), so I think it's time to incentivize Exclusive even more/push guys completely away from Private.

I have to charge $5.99 $6.99 but that's because my butt's not as perky as Audri's...LOL seriously, you can also look at rates on reviewmycam but it only shows you the premium rate. It took me about 6 months from when I started camming on SM to get to my comfort zone of these rates. I want to make money of course, but don't want to be in that "unattainable/affordable" range. Know what I mean? I think there's a fine line where men see you as attainable because your rates are reasonable. A man may think he has a chance to really meet and hang out with a girl who charges say $6.99 a minute, but he doesn't stand a chance with a girl who charges $12.99 a minute. It's not just that a girl may be too expensive, she's unattainable too. Men want to think...believe there's a chance. And the price per minute translates to a chance. Even though they're never REALLY going to hook up with us. but, it's a theory I have

Re: Raising Rates on Streamate? What are top models comfortably charging by minute?
I'd say I'm a top cammodel in my own right(categories), lol. I charge $8.99/7.99.

Re: Raising Rates on Streamate? What are top models comfortably charging by minute?
I charge 6.99/7.99 and I have tried lower and I don't get more shows so I just keep it as is.

I'm thinking about a rate change also. I've been at 5.99/9.99 for over a year but getting more privates than exclusives. The short privates are making me log off sooner than I want to due to 3 minute shows tiring me out.
Thinking back to when I was a higher price for privates I seem to remember less shows, but longer ones which were way less tiring.

I really don't enjoy pvts at all. The 30 second thing - a ton of mfers take advantage of this. I'm not trying to police them all bc its a waste of energy. I had a bunch of ppl peeping during a PVT yesterday and each of them spent 33 seconds in my new higher rate room. Karma sometimes works things out thankfully.

You can always eliminate premium shows by making your premium rate higher then your exclusive.

Yeah, you would think it would work that way... I raised my rates tonight to 7.99 Private and 5.99 Excl. and all but one of my customers still went private. And this is AFTER explaining that I price that way so I can give them one-on-one attention. ::Facepalm::
I just raised the Excl. to 6.99 so their mistake won't be as bad. How generous of me.

omg nooooo
They are still paying so why lower it!
If you truly want mainly exclusive shows raise private as high as possible, and if you are getting enough shows at 7.99 I'd make that your exclusive rate.

Re: Raising Rates on Streamate? What are top models comfortably charging by minute?
I do zero fetish except in exclusive, and now at $5.99 and $7.99 I make most of my money in exclusive, even with a $2 difference in price. I also screen the FUCK out of anyone who wants to do a show with me before they take me (i.e if they try and take me pvt to do a fetish show, I tell them it's only in exclusive and kick them, and if they try to take me exclusive without telling me what they want to do I reject it unless they explain). I know its stupid, but just acting like I don't need there money makes some guys REALLY want to spend money.

Oh, I didn't lower anything, I raised the private rate once and the exclusive rate twice in one night :D
I asked SM to raise my max rates to 9.99, but they told me they could only do 7.99 for now :( else I would set the Privates even higher.
