    the way i decide to up my rate is if i'm in shows back to back to back to back and feel like i'm working like crazy in private/exclusive shows. this means that there is high demand. usually i'll up the rate by $1/minute at that point. when i'm working like crazy again in back to back to back shows, then i'll up the rate again by $1/min. i usually give it a couple of weeks at back to back to back shows so that i know i am consistently in demand and it's reasonable to up the rate.

    some regulars will not be able to afford the new rate and keep their shows shorter with you (which is fine bc you'll likely end up earning the same amount with a shorter show at your new rate!). some may opt to no longer have shows with you. some will even ask why you didn't up your rates sooner because you're worth it!

    there will always be new custies that can afford your new rate too and these will far outweigh any custies that might not be able to afford you any longer

    I cam on the side. It is a support system for making ends meet. I cannot invest in social media, website, etc. like full-time cammers. I invest in those for my freelance writing biz. But, I do not want to sell myself out too cheaply.

    Is this a good time to up my prices?
    I've over doubled my rate since starting on SM. With the first increase a few years ago (upped both private and exclusive by $1), my time in private actually increased by about 10% and I started getting waaaaay fewer demanding customers. Your rate is very much a personal thing so if you feel like it's time to try out a new price, bump it up by .50 or $1 or even $1.50 and wait a week. After that week, compare your earnings and time in private.

    Also, I wouldn't count out social media. You can use a site like twuffer to schedule tweets on twitter and also blast your cammodels link (which gives you a large extra % if someone does decide to sign up). You don't have to spend a lot of time doing so & I've found that it's generally worth it to get your die hard fans in your cam room and spending as soon as you're online (or even while you're offline, because who doesn't like passive income).

    Thank you GG and Caramel! I think I will up my rate and not worry about slow days and see if it carries over. But, and there's always a but, I am not fucking myself back to back in a flurried frenzy at this time. My demand must improve...LOL

    I am going to fucking scream. I have been gone from Streamate for about a month for computer issues. I finally get back on and all my ratings disappeared. All of my tech requirements are EXCELLENT, but the one thing holding me back are these goddamn ratings. I went from the 1st page to the 4th page. I have almost no traffic, and it feels like an uphill battle to get enough new customers to even give me new ratings to begin with. The few privates I have gotten, I tell them all to rate me and they say they will and then DON'T.

    Anyone else been through this on Streamate? I just kinda need some reassurance from my lovely StripperWeb models that I WILL make it out of this and get my placement back, lol. I'm gonna try to stay up really late tonight camming, as 11pm -3am is usually my best traffic.

    I'd suggest giving custies an extra incentive to rate you. Tell them to message you after they have rated you and you'll reply with a special photo or short video. that usually does the trick!

    I think there is a glitch on the customer end of ratings too... When I first came back from my hiatus, I got two ratings and then nothing for a week. Couldn’t figure out why, and even customers I’d seen before who rate every time weren’t leaving ratings. Then a guy popped into my chat room to ask how to rate me since he wasn’t given the option to do so after our show ended. I had no idea what to tell him, except that it must be a glitch. The weirdness spontaneously resolved itself a few days later, and guys started leaving ratings without even being asked.

    Okay, i finally made my goal of 5 ratings! It took me two days. Would just like to second what Serena said up there in that I had a customer tell me the rating prompt wasn't popping up after our sessions. So that's another glitch with Streamate right now :/

    A lot of us only get 30% with a 3-week delay for payment. There are also now complications (expenses) of getting your money if you live in a far off country (for example, Paxum, which once again has had a card provider "disappear"). I would say the benefits of working on SM are borderline and fast disappearing. Need I mention appalling and totally impersonal customer service? When it was pumping, several years back, the answer would have been "yes".

    SM is destroying their own business by paying out only 30 - 35%. Girls charge more because of the low payout, and as a result, it has become too expensive in the current camming climate. At least they could have offered a better payout for tips. Taking 70% of my tips? Not cool!

    Any of you girls use PAXUM as a payment option with Streamate? If yes, do withdrawls work pretty smoothly?

    ^^^ Paxum can be a good payment solution to people outside US, i used it together with Cosmo, the thing that is not working anymore is Instant transfers to Visa cards, for some reason they not doing business with Visa for these transfers tho i was able to transfer money directly to my bank account using the EFT option and it only costs $5 so yeah, why not?

    ETA: ok, i have read ur posts in Paxum thread in Industry Insight and see how u guys had/have issues with them, i am sorry for all that complications, i used them as emergency solution here but again, depends where u from and what transfer option u choose, i only used EFT and Direct transfer to card when Visa was accepted, i am in Europe & i dont own a Mastercard from a local bank, they all seem to issue Visa's here.
    I dont want their card either cause is expensive and takes very long to arrive here, i have the Cosmo card, they offered me a Visa card to replace the Mastercard i had from them and i accepted it, Cosmo issue Visa cards now; i used Paxum til i received the Cosmo Visa card.
    So yeah, everyone seem to have different experience with Paxum...

    Thanks girls,

    Hmm, thing is I don't have lot's of options. I am not in the US, neither in Europe, neither in Colombia, so it looks like this is the only option for me. I used Pioneer in the past and it was good. Then stopped working, now working again and it looks like the only one for me is Paxum

    Cheers Kat, will definitely pray. But it can't be that bad if they offer it there, can it? Will probably request their card, regardless of the cost, guess that's more easy than bank transfers all the time. I used the Pyoneer card for years, wasn't cheap either (think it was 40 US$ per year), but it worked like a charm, never had any issues with it. Hope it'll be the same with Paxum, but it looks like this is the only option for me

    What in the hell is going on with placement?! Is there some sort of glitch?! I have a 5 star rating and am using SMConnect with great stream health, and I SHOULD be ranked highly! The other night with these stats I was on the first page. But now I am on the EIGHTH!!! I am NEVER ranked this far back!

    Anyone else had a problem like this recently?!

    ^^^ OMG!! It took them more than 6 months to send u the card?! I dont even remember when Payoneer went out of the business but it's more than 6 months, right?! Guess they were overloaded with new accounts & card requests, they even said they very busy as they took most of the Payoneer customers but still, it took them way too long to send u the card, maybe it was lost & found on the way to u?!
    Yeah, best is to order a card and make transfers til the card comes by post, maybe they not soo busy anymore...

    It's a glitch. Usually takes 15-30 min to adjust. Restart your show after 30 min if it doesn't fix itself.
