    My daily goal is $200 day now. I've been reaching that lately just by doing Streamate. I love the site, despite the crappy percentage, the traffic is awesome and most of the clients are fun and respectful.

    I want to push my quota to $200 a day but lately it seems like I cant make jack shit. I'm on streamate and MFC. Plus I do a contracted show twice a week on cam4.com where I can promote it...PLUS I'm a "porn star" with a ton of marketing and crap out there. And yet i'll go a whole day making like $30 lately. WTF am I doing wrong? I've been in the biz for years...i know how to hustle. I dont give it all away for free. My makeup is done and I go back and forth between outfits...because I get reactions from different guys with each one..lingerie, bikini, fetish stuff..even casual stuff and pj's(seriously...some guys LOVE that..idk why)

    Guys tell me all the time how awesome I am and how I'm the hottest on the site and blah blah blah....but wheres my fucking money???

    Come on cam gurus....help me please!!!

    Oh man that SUX! May I suggest changing you profile info up a bit? Maybe even your look? For example I just changed my breast size from (Normal) to small tits in my category (I am an A cup). As well as changed my girly zone from shaved, to hairy. (I have a landing strip now, all are happy.) And went from brunette to Redhead (Just a slight change with auburn). Why you may ask.....? Because when I go on to LJ there may be 936 girls on, (I am in the girl category.) But out of those 936 girls only 17 are redhead, 75 are "hairy", and 95 have small tits. (Just an example i have seen)
    Thus making it ever so easy for land on lil ole MEEE! Also, I re-vamped my style, and stick to it. If you are a rubber and leather girl wear it. If you are a bikini girl wear it. ETC! Yes switch it up on "special days" (Make a big deal out of those). But, what I have learned in the past few mos is to stay consistant. I'm not sure if you have done any of these things yet. I really do hope I helped ya somehow! Small changes can go a very long way. But, maybe you should consider taking the walk down fetish rd. (If you haven't already) Explore all options!! Do what turns you on, and have FUN. The sky is the limit!!!!!!!!!

    STRAMATE IS THE SHIT, I mate 1000 from midnight Saturday, and i was in pvt ALL fucking day! FUCKING hehe. I was on for about 18 - 20 hours for that. I wasn't going to log off since they kept taking me pvt. I took home 1800 that week. I have been averaging 1200-1400 a week (SAVE YOUR MONEY FOR TAXES). Most other days, I try evenings, I try days, and can find a little consistancy, but mostly , put in your time, you will pass the slow stuff, and make it up when it is busy. I have been going on early morning and have done quite well. I average 20-50 hr. Yummy. But ya, dang the down times... they are just a little scary, like our economy.

    PS, I DON'T split my time between other cam sites, which i think helps in ranking (time spent online).

    WOW, Katie, that's really good!

    I'm trying to figure out what is best for me to charge on there.

    I went ahead and maxed out my price at 4.99 when I first started and did really well but now things have slowed way down for me. I'm wondering if I should lower my price now that I'm not the "new host".

    I had it set for group shows only so I could have more than 1 viewer at a time, but have since started offering the exclusive shows also since I had so many guys bummed out that they couldn't take it completely private.

    Anyone mind sharing what you are currently charging on Streamate?

    I tried 3.99 pvt/4.99 exclusive, I lowered it when i thought maybe it was price to 2.99 . IT made NO DIFFERENCE FOR ME, except i made LESS MONEY. I quickly raised it. Thats my 2 cents.
    I am at 3.99/4.99 and won't change unless they made me.

    Thanks Katie! I think I'll try to lower my group rate to 3.99 also and see if I get more shows overall.

    Hey, I would go 4.99 for pvt and HIGHER for exclusive, but i think the max is 4.99 for Streamate. If i went 4.99 pvt, then my exclusive would have to be the same price which doesn't work.

    I make more money when I have multiple peeps in my pvt than a "short" exclusive...

    Longer exclusive are always nice.

    LOL, that's just what I had been doing since I started there, had both of them at 4.99. It worked well while I was new (seems whenever a new person starts there's always a burst of traffic for awhile). Now that my newness has worn off I think that price could be holding me back a bit, so I lowered it to 3.99 group/4.99 exclusive. time will tell

    i charge 4.99 for premium and exclusive on streamate! At first the money seemed slow ...but as they got to know me and started to realize i would never change the price,or give anything to free... my shows have increased.

    They have increased by white men that like girls who are reserved in chat, these are the guys that like to hold a conversation.

    Also my white guys that wanna chat and play.

    or black guys that dont wanna chat, but want to prove to me the can afford to pay $4.99 ( because the always mention... "I can afford you, I got money ma!..lmao)

    sometimes I say snark comments like... who can afford to play with me....and there's always that one egotistical man....that drops that load $$$$ hahahah. im such a bitch. ( copy nothing of what i do..its part of the pussyplayground image and i play the part well..haha)

    hmmmm interesting posts, I was just going to ask a question about the rates on streamate

    when I started I had my rates at 2.99 for pvt and 3.99 for exclusive. I did like 3-4 days on there and was averaging $100/2hrs which I thought was good enough. Then I read the posts on here and raised my rates today to 3.99 for pvt and 4.99 for exclusive. Guess what, it was SLOOOWWWW for me. I stayed on for 2 hours and did NOT make my $100/2hrs. I made a bit more than HALF of that. So I wonder if it's just because it was noon and monday, or its my rates....
    PPG I love that u refuse to sell urself short, I wanna be like that too but now i'm scared it will affect my $$!!!!!!!!!!

    Leyla, that's very interesting

    To me, what I make per hour is way more important than what each guy pays to see me.

    Now you've got me wondering if I should try 2.99/3.99. I've not been averaging 50 an hour, more like 20 or 30 and I would love that! I am staying online way too many hours to meet my goals.

    I would love to make $50 an hour. It's happened once or twice on SM but my average lately has been $20 to $30. I'm at 2.99 for private and exclusive but I'm going to raise my exclusive up to 3.99, as I keep getting looooonnnngggg exclusives and I know I'm missing out on other customers' cash.

    Honestly, I feel like I made more per hour when I charged $1.59 for private way back when I started. But then again, I was in private constantly and would get sore and tired really fast. I definitely don't want to sell my goodies for such a low price ever again, but I do miss the $5 or $10 more I used to make.

    I also made ~$30/hr when I raised my price to 3.99/4.99! I don't want to be too quick and think of it as the result of raising my rates... I'm thinking it may be because it was Monday and day time so that could be why, but who knows? Or that i'm not super new anymore? Also, I used to cam on my bed but today I cammed from a desk chair, so that could be another reason why I made less... trying to be positive here lol.
    I will give it another 2-3 hrs tomorrow and if I still make less than before I will lower my price again, but I really don't want to!

    hey yeah I agree I got tired really fast too! Yeah I made more $$ but I got very tired and annoyed!!
    & girl, I would definitely raise my exclusive. If you don't want it at 3.99 make it more than pvt still, like 3.49 or something
    I think I'm going to go with 2.99/3.99 again soon, but too soon to decide now I need more experience!

    I'm also on streamate. For a few months I had my prices set at 3.49 premium/4.49 exclusive. Last week I changed to 3.99/4.99 and it did get slower for me. Not a huge difference, but a noticable one.
    One of my regulars actually made the comment "wow, you're getting expensive". Now I'm debating going back to my old prices.

    Damn I just remembered that I raised my prices the other day LOL. I'm 3.79 and 4.79. I didn't seem to have a decline in shows at all. If my regs noticed they didn't say anything. I only raised $.50 though.

    Can you block states/country on streamate ?

    Sorry, I couldn't find answer to this question from viewing past topics about streamate.

    I flip flop on whether i want to make a certain $$$ per hour... or do I want each guy to PAY 2 see me.

    For the most part... you will PAY to see me, because if i am expensive,..... MOST of these guys cover it for the cheap assholes. Oh and I have all day to sit around on my ass and wait.

    but one-day... I hope to have the guts to say fuck em... lets just worry ONLY of the money. ( is that really guts or greed? *shrugs*)

    For some reason I used to be heavily pirated, and the cheapasses where the ones that kept doing it. So ill stick to my high rates, while sipping my dunkin donuts coffee, while watching Bad Girls Club...over here. ...lol

    Camsite, My site or indy site... when its MY TAKE, i dont make less than $2 anywhere except for streamate)


    BUT im good...im on multiple sites/have my own so im not really missing out on much. I like to work smarter not harder.
