    JAC, in my case i did not have to tell a number, they enabled me to go up to 9.99, i can pick any price in between, so another proof they never do the same for everyone.

    It doesn't show on my profile page. I posted a snap of my profile page back on this thread - it's not there.

    Speaking of raising rates, can anyone please give me the steps and requirements to be put into 'Pornstar' category? it seems like a few who are in this category have their rate at $19.99. Thanks much!

    I figured porn stars with reputation can get these rates, but not regular girls.

    ^^ I've been hustling on cam for over 8 years. I'm doing the best I can. I'm not going to get those rates. I tried jacking them up last week - result - one private per hour and short... switched it back - many privates per hour.

    At the end of the day, every girl is worth different rates depending on their desirability, ethnicity etc. I'm envious of the girls who can charge megabucks, but it doesn't work for me. One thing you may not be aware of, on the Asian sites these days most girls are charging $1 per minute and less - down to 50c per minute. They have lowered the value of Asian pussy on cam - sad but true. When I charge 1.99 on an Asian site guys are continually complaining about my price. The only redeeming thing is that I get 50%, so that's equivalent to me charging $3.30 on SM.

    8 years ago when I started I could get continuous privates at 1.99 (with many voyeurs at the same time), but nowadays it's hard to get any privates at that price.

    Now I don't use HD, so that could have some influence on what I charge, but with my split camming I cannot dedicate enough bandwidth to an encoder.

    I think you have to prove your porn star status as well as be listed on a few sites under porn star like freeones and such. I don't think you have to be a porn star to raise it to $19.99. You can email SM for that and if they wish, they'll raise it for you.

    I don't consider this to be true at all. In camming, you can be whomever you want to be when it comes to desirability. Make up, lighting, and certain clothing will make any girl look like a million bucks.

    As far as ethnicity is concerned I definitely don't agree with that. So who would you consider to be the top of the line where ethnicity is concerned? So I suppose since I'm black and fat I should be charging $0.99 per min like my other bbw ebony sisters? Our rates aren't based on the color our skin. You have that choice, and you alone. Trying higher rates for an hour doesn't cut it, especially since you've been charging $2.39 (give or take) for a while. One hour can be great, another can be a disaster. People treat you the way you want to be treated.

    I understand you have mouths to feed but I think you give yourself less credit than you deserve. The fact that you can only get away with charging as low as you do is because you most likely lack the confidence and patience to charge higher rates, don't use the encoder, etc NOT because of the color of your skin. You're value shouldn't be based on other girls, nor should it be based on what men think about you or what you should charge. If you don't wish to be "grouped" with other Asians, make your way to the 1st page by doing what you need to do and stop lying to yourself. Your ethnicity, your gender, your size, etc isn't what's holding you back. You are. The rest are just excuses.

    Tropo, dont forget you are on an US/ western based cam girl forum sweetie, what u read here regarding ... everything connected to cam work is not applying always to non western girls like us, i am in EE and for me things work different than for our western comrades. Just do what is working for you regarding prices & hustle & remember, working with 3.99/4.99 and way up is the norm for western cam girls.

    @KortneyKay you said that so much better than I could at the moment. Because reading parts of this thread was starting to get under my skin. Everyone has an opinion and can feel defeated at times....BUT DAMN! Sometimes you just have to ask yourself the hard questions just like you did. BRAVO

    Also I just wanted to add that its not always where you come from that determines your placement and treatment. There are tons of amazing camgirls who are making more money than doctors in their native countries. I just went to Albania and Croatia and met up with a few of them. They split split cam between a few major sites at around $2.99 usd here and then maybe 1.99 on another site. Even more in some cases, because the American dollar goes a long way. And then they tease the hell out of men. That's their hustle. They don't concern themselves with what everyone else is doing. They think about their bottom line and get to work. This is a true story. These young ladies are living like royalty. And another thing just like processing companies SM has to make decisions based on the level of risk per location. That is the way it is. Some merchant providers won't even let you do business with certain locations.

    Thank you, PGD. I'm honored and I love Marlon Brando! I'll be dammed if someone tells me or anyone else that their earning potential lies only on their ethnicity and desirability. If you want desirability, be "thatbitch" because desirability can be bought honey. Titties, ass, lipo and make up can be bought. Makeup costs $0.99 a the dollar store.

    Yea I agree totally!... I dont think i am worthy of 5.99/6.99.. but i don't give a crap!...lol.. they pay cuz i say so!... Why can't you be the hottest asian bitch there is and prove it to them guys!.. you have to ASK MEN FOR MONEY!.. YOU HAVE TO.. they never want to give willingly.. very rarely!.. Demand that you are worth it.. You know what i find also?? Men are intrigued that you charge alot.. they think they are getting something really special.. Let's take Godiva Chocolates for instance.. have you ever looked at the ingredients?? the ingredients are shit .. unworthy of how much they cost... They get away with charging alot because of MARKETING.. MARKETING makes all the difference.

    I look at it like this. Fewer men are willing to pay me 6 or 7$ a minute for a show. These are just the facts. But those few men who are make up for the 20 guys who didn't. Because I have a high rate now, if I only have 15 mins of paid chat I still have a decent hourly. Honestly I find it's less "slow" now, but it's really just that when I don't get as many shows I still make decent money because my rates are high.

    Tropo, I get what you are saying but I think the opposite is true. A porn star or superstar camgirl could probably get 20 guys in prvt chat at once, so she doesn't need to charge 9$/min for each one to make huge money per hour. But I rarely get more than one or two guys in pvt at a time, so I have to make each one count.


    Although I will say that when I read about high rates, these models are always on SM. I haven't heard much about high rates on Imlive, LJ, cams, MFC etc. Perhaps the culture/traffic of SM just facilitates higher prices.

    I set my exclusive at $19.99. I had one guy say "sorry to ask this, but why is your exclusive price so insanely high? I mean, you're hot and all, but I can't justify that. That's like nearly a tenner a minute".

    Emphasis on "justify that" ~ Why should I need to? I want that price, and everyone has their price for what they will do. If I'm performing one-on-one role play, fetish, double penetration, full attention, etc, whatever else, for one person, that - $19.99 - is my price. That's what it costs for me to do that on cam. That's what it costs for someone to buy that from me.

    Sometimes I'd love to approach one of these guys and ask them what their price is, tell them: Hello random person. I want you to lay on your back, shove a butt plug into your anus, jerk yourself off whilst simultaneously screwing yourself with the plug, also whilst keeping your sight focused on the screen at all times so you can respond to all of my written directions and also what I do over cam2cam, act the part of my given role play, and look sexy whilst craning your neck to see the screen at all times - even if I ask for all of the above, doggy style. Give me your best slut face.

    If no one will buy my exclusive, no one will by my exclusive. I'm not going to change it. <3

    I have a rarer niche so that is why I get away with those rates. I am definitely the exception and not the norm when it comes to camming for sure! I would never recommend those rates to anyone unless you are willing to sit around in free chat fishing for whales. LOL!

    Yes, SM is the site with highest number of porn stars & western cammodels, also SM has no chargebacks & never had which is a fearless environment for girls to work in, people know that the money they make they'll actually get, it's the site culture & design, on the 1st page u find all top models charging high then some studio girls with rigged placement, also independent girls with high prices & then on page two are girls with high to medium fees, independent, studios, etc and things change when u go further on next pages, fees are getting lower & lower.

    I personally don't want a guy to take me exl/pvt because my prices are low. Price shoppers can stay in the clearance pussy section. I want him to be so enthralled with my make up that he thinks my artificial looks are the epitome of beauty and instead of letting his brain choose, his dick chooses instead.

    My 2 cents, YMMV:

    After reading many of AliceFun's insightful post in the past it has give me some understand that 'Western' camgirls can be a bit blind to certain things that give us a leg up with camming that we take for granted. The ability to speak perfect English, understand culture jokes and context, ect, ect.......

    I personally don't believe that it is all about charging the highest rate possible, no matter what country to happen to live in.

    To me, what it is all truly about is never getting 'comfortable' with the rates you are charging. You need to watch what your per minute rate is doing as if it was a stock on the stock market. Grab a spreadsheet, figure out what is the best rate for you and when. If traffic is heavier for you on one day then other then there is nothing wrong with changing it to see if you can get more money on that day. Rates don't have to be static.

    Pretend that you are a 'per minute rate' scientist and try all sorts of different things with you rate. Especially the things that you are 100% percent sure won't work. Those are the things that can really surprise you by making you the money. Try seeing if you make more on the days that you wear a red dress instead of a black one.

    Take notes until you hand cramps about your hustling styles and the types of custies you attract and the best ways make the most money from them.

    You also need to understand your own personal hustling style. If you hate free chat then their is nothing wrong with charging less in order to stay in privates more. If you just want to go fishing for whales then charge more. Try working token based sites so you are able to learn about the difference between 'a per minute hustle' and a 'token hustle' (because holy shit is there ever a difference.) The best way to learn about hustling 'styles' is to try out a whole bunch of them as if they were throw-away stereotype Halloween costumes.

    Camming can be such a soul crushing job with the freeloaders and scammers. I find that it helpful if you just concentrate on being best camgirl that YOU can be. If you focus on other camgirls and how much money they make compared to what you make you are going to just end up depressed and burned out.

    If you can look a camming through a 'Gorillas in the Mist' sort of lens where the custies are just some exotic and strange tribe of separate mammals with their own unique quirks and customs then it makes it easier to laugh at it all at the end of the day.
