    But try it and see how it goes.
    "Busy" doesn't necessarily mean "Profitable". I make MORE money now (at 1.99 and 2.99) doing LESS shows, than when I was charging 0.99 and 1.99 and doing MORE shows. I was just more tired. Now, sometimes when I am occupied with something else but still want to be available for shows, I drop out of Free and put my prices UP to 2.99 and 3.99 (sometimes more), which again usually makes no difference to my income as I get even less shows (which is great if I am busy with real life etc), but still snag the guys who are happy to pay that price to see me.

    Reviews/feedback don't pay the bills. Mine creeps up maybe 1 or 2 a month, but the amount of shows I've actually done is waaaayyy more than that. Feedback is nice (when it's positive of course, lol) but I can't pay my rent with it.

    You've just got to find what works for you...most of my time online is during a slow period of the day and I'm usually not on for long, so having a really high price could mean I get nothing at all because I don't have enough time to wait for someone prepared to pay it. I did experiment with a very low group price once as I just wanted to be busy and I had my best month for ages...after a month though shows slowed and I put my prices back up again. I was getting sometimes 6 at a time in group and I would be in paid for about 20-30 minutes.

    When I still did vanilla stuff I would charge 3.99 for group and on busy nights I would just put a show description in my Directcam thingy and profile and had no problem getting multiple people in my room staying to watch. Most I ever had watching me was 9 people at 3.99 a minute.
    Meanwhile in my room:

    I average about 6x this amount...

    Stop thinking so small. This whole forum is filled with testimonials to charging a good rate and not underselling yourself x

    Like i said on another thread, since i dont get naked (my case) and my bills are waiting to get paid, i rather have guys entering my room than not. I am doing well except for last week which suck almost for everyone, so i will stick with them. Back in the day when i first started to cam, i wouldnt cam for less than 2.99 and that was long time ago, coz i was too proud to accept that that are way too many girls in this business and there is too much porn for free, so now, its not about my pride taking place and saying : oh cummon ur so beautiful bla bla, its about making the money to pay everything i need to pay and still have some fun with the same money. I dont have the patience to sit infront of the cam waiting for someone to come in. But thats me, not telling anyone to follow me.

    This is a great short roundup of common psychological pricing tactics https://www.helpscout.net/blog/pricing-strategies/

    It is about setting your rates smartly rather than cheaply. Work out what will bring you the most and keep experimenting to get more and more x

    I look - I tend to look at how many lines of girls showing in group or private to see how much traffic there is on site. The more rows showing orange or red the more traffic I reckon there must be. When I look at the girls who are in group or pvt there is no theme for costs - they range from 79p to 3.99 to more. I think it's about looking at the girls that are in group or pvt and deciding that the traffic is there so what do you need to get them to come into your room and for me price lowering doesn't really make any difference though your mileage may vary. Couple of weeks ago I put my prices up and had the longest pvt I'd had at 110 credits for one session - next day I reduced them and hardly had anyone. Don't think the prices always lead the way

    Just to add though - that the more people reduce their rates the more it will become expected and the more you will need to reduce them to stay cost competitive if that is your strategy. If you put them at 1.49 per minute and others following same strategy reduce to 0.99 what you gonna do? reduce to 0.79? Then they will reduce to 0.49. Then 2.00 per minute will seem expensive as customers will expect the cheaper rates. I think it's a dangerous strategy but a girl's got to do what a girl's got to do so not one to criticise.

    It seems that most of the time those who charge low rates do so because they actually lack the confidence to charge more. They feel like perhaps their expertise or equipment isn't up to scratch, maybe they're not as pretty, as slim, or as 'glam' as others, or maybe they're non nude when most others are nude. There is a nagging voice inside that says "I'm not worth more, no one will pay me". Even though they can see for themselves that this doesn't apply to others, that some are making money at 3.99 and beyond, they still hold back in fear and a kind of familiar, comforting Denial.

    Do you know what really helps with overcoming fear? Knowledge! Arm yourself with all the information you can about marketing, sales, and the psychology of these. Work out exactly who you target market is and aim yourself (the 'product') at THEM. If you did your homework and you've put in the effort to market yourself, you WILL get business, it's as simple as that.

    You might only want to earn a little each day. £50 might seem a decent amount (compared to some jobs it IS a very very decent side income). But you can make MORE. Everybody can. It doesn't matter you only need £50, wouldn't you prefer £100? £300? What about £1000? You CAN make that. The only limit is your confidence and knowledge of the market.

    This is a page about a marketing book but I thought it had some useful info that explains what I'm trying to say better than I ever could http://createhype.com/charge-what-yo...icing-process/

    Be confident ladies, educate yourself and reach for the stars!! x

    Yes! I had the exact same thing happen to me! For me..adultwork is very hit or miss and to be honest..it's not a big deal because it's not my main site..I want to charge the highest I can go and just leave it running in the background. I was 3.99 and 4.99 and 5.99 for yearssss on my main cam site..been doing this for along time lol! I got 10+ years into this but I wasn't cutting it at those prices..it was livable wages but wasn't living (if you know what I mean). So I upped my prices to 9.99 and it was slow at first and I was nervous I was gonna lose customers but it ended up going great and I've made more money then I ever have and I will not look back! Now I'm very happy with my job! But I just don't know with Adultwotk because it is a UK site and the monies are different compared to the United States etc..my main goal is to run multiple sites at the highest it can go..there are days when it's totally dead but there are days which are amazing! I'll sit and wait for the big spenders because in the end..I'm making way more and get way better clientele..u gotta just stick it out and do not go down..I'm just so unsure with adultwork cause it's in the UK but it sounds like the top price is 4.99 and maybe pushing it at 5.99..I think I'm gonna try 5.99 and stick with it..everyone's journey is different but this is what I'm choosing to do..I'm not downing girls that are less in price..hey, I've been there! And if that works for those girls then cool! But I know what has worked for me and what doesn't..so just trying to apply it to this unknown site for me hopefully I didn't ruffle any feathers ladies! I appreciate all the ladies chimming in on this! And Susie, thank you for that advice! I've been in glamour magazines so that helped me kinda figure out where I should be but thank u all so much!

    I got u when u write like that, coz i was the same years ago. But now im ot sure, things have changed a lot since i cammed for the first time. Im not sure if any of u girls had the chance to sell shows through pay2play groups we made on yahoo and were so fun to be at. Glory days, then the 2257 law took them all off and we lost a powerful weapon to sell shows. O well, im getting old i guess, lol, i miss those days.

    I'm one of those that lack the confidence to charge more. I have problems with anxiety to begin with, so when I consider upping my fee, I start thinking "what if nobody buys a show" "how am I going to pay my bills" " I'll be in a worse situation than I am now".....the list goes on and on in my catastrophic mind. Definitely need to work on having the right mindset.

    Another thing though..even if I wasn't in the magazines..I would still up the rates..Susie's right..it's just about having that confidence! I see girls with no professional work behind them charging 9.99 and there killing it! But I would do it anyways without the mags! Cause I'm fab lol! We all are and u girls can do it too! Don't be afraid! The one thing I noticed is that I lost a lot of those 3.99, 4.99 and 5.99 regs but I gained the 9.99 ones! They will come slowly but surely..they will come! And start to add up! Mannnnn if I could do it all over it again..I would charge 9.99 as a brand new camgirl! Mannnn I think of all the money I lost over the years but hey, live and learn! It's easier to start high because u don't have the cheapo guys nagging at u because u went up in price and there gonna leave (trying to scare u to go back down). Don't give up or don't give in..just say byeeeee to the cheapos and don't look back! The 9.99 ones will come! And the 3.99,4.99,5.99 old regs will miss u and see your not going down and will eventually pay that 9.99 a min! I've seen it lol! I have a cam gf that was sitting at 5.99 still while I was at 9.99 and one of her clients came to me and paid 9.99! She was like fuck 5.99! She went to 9.99 and is now starting to gain. It really is about just having that inner confidence! Raise them rates ladies!

    well, these fees to me sound surreal, unless u are on SM where u get only 30%. On AW i didnt see girls charging that at all. Are we talking about AW really?

    I think she is talking about dollars, and her other sites. On SM it is very normal to see these rates and above as the payout is so low - 35% btw not 30. 9.99 pounds on AW would be very unusual, but why not try? Who knows. The sky is the limit

    Yea no I'm talking about Streamate, Ifriends and niteflirt I charge 9.99. I wasn't sure about adultwork and charging 9.99 so that was my question as in how high is too high. I want to find other private based sites that I could charge 9.99 and just split them all in the background. I'm looking at MGF and some others to add.

    It's interesting cause there was a cammodel on here about a year to 2 years ago that told me to try this and that it worked for her..I'm like no way?!?! But it works! Her name was hottie..really nice girl! Not sure where she went she doesn't log in anymore? I tried DMing her but her message box is full and she hasnt logged in forever I just got to my breaking point and dealing with these rude guys and not being able to really thrive on my monies made..I was really miserable and ready to leave this whole Camming world and just go get a normal job cause im like ok, im getting naked for how much a week? Yea, fuck this! So I was kinda in the mind set of where I was like its 9.99 or I go look for another job..I'm happy though it got to that point cause I'm very happy now

    If you're only online for 2-3 hours at a very slow time of day and when most girls in paid are charging peanuts, you don't have the luxury of time to wait for a guy who's prepared the much higher rates. You have to find what works best for you.

    Thnk you, I will try that.. This site just seems unorganized & all over the place to me as far as the layout, at least until I get used to it.

    It's because it started out as a directory for escorts and camming is just one of the services on offer.

    Completely agree.

    I actually vary my rates according to the time of day on AW. When I've got class, or family commitments, or whatever, and can only be on 11am-2pm, down go the rates, to 1.50/2.50. On the stroke of 5pm, back up to 2/3.

    The only times I don't do that, is like in the last few weeks, when I have to concentrate on coursework deadlines. I'll be welded to my desk working for the next 10 hours anyway, so I've got time to wait for weekday spenders, plus, as CatBBW says above, I'd rather get paid higher for interruptions.
