    dont change th eprivate...just do group as well. I just learned that...and if theres only one cheap fucker in group, do a completly softcore show, and take zero requests....

    The way I prcied group is that if 2 people where in chat it would be the same as a pvt or BETTER. $$$ wise

    Lowering your rates would get you more pvt's anywhere wouldnt it?

    Dont bite the hand that feeds you. This is a business, run it like one.




    I dont know what the standard rates are on SM but having your pvt and group at the same rate doesnt really make much sense. I would suggest having your grp at 2.99-3.99 ratio if your pvt is 5.

    If your not getting any pvt's at 5 then slowing lower the rate by 0.10 increments until business picks up. eg 5>4.99>4.89>4.79.


    I would map your online business around the idea of a Primark (cheaper store with mass sales) rather than M&S (more expensive store with lower sales) until you have a following and your more well known.

    Until your more well known you cant pick and chose your clients or rates. Just do what you have to do to earn the $.

    5 is a bit steep if you're not well known or a porn star. Remember the economy you gotta keep your customers in mind as well and keep things reasonable for them.

    Yeah, 5 is a bit much, especially since I've heard you talk about how you have a bad internet connection. You will probably make A LOT more money if you lower it by a few dollars... you say anything less than 5 won't do you any good, but actually it will do you LOTS of good because you'll be getting more privates! Sure it'll be more work, but working harder is MUCH better than sitting in free chat for hours not making money.

    Let's say you lower it to 2.99, you'll make 1.04 per minute, as opposed to 1.74 at 4.99. But at 2.99 you're more likely to get multiple people in group at once, which means you'll be earning more, often 2.08 or 3.12 per minute.

    I like 4.99/3.99 if you're using the encoder, and 3.99/2.99 if you're standard

    My Rates are 3.79/4.89 Weird Rates but they work for me and I maintain 2/4 ppl at a time in grp.

    I also remember you saying you have a crappy cam/internet stream and if your price is that high then your video/connection should be close to flawless.

    I do well at 2.84/3.64. Don't have the best cam but I use the encoder. I don't do sound, phone, or roleplay but I never have a problem getting pvts. Usually 2-3 people at a time in regular pvt and maybe 1 in 10 is exclusive.

    Private(Premium - Group)= 3.49
    Exclusive(1on1)= 3.99

    As long as i get a lil more than $1 per min, is alright! I do very well at those rates
