    Yes, trying different timing is a good thing to try too, definitely.

    A friend of mine I chat with banks like crazy at night on SM.

    One night recently we were on at the same time late at night and she made $300 and I made $3, lol! good grief. Then again, I make more in the mornings for some reason and I can not bank at night, not sure why. Just got to hit on a time that's right for the customers who are looking for you.

    it helps to experiment with rates.. if you have the ability to control your own rate... high traffic and low rates can sometimes mean more money.. not always but its worth a shot...

    to me how much you charge doesn't mean a thing...its all about how much you make.
    if i could make more money charging 1.99 on every site i would do it.
    i find that when i go below 4 dollars a minute i get nothing but short shows with those "fist ur ass bb" guys.
    but if you are making more charging lower then keep doing it! one price doesn't work for everyone because we all have different looks/personalities and attract different types of customers.

    hi I am a new cam model only 3 months. I am new on here.
    I might be stupid by doing this but I never charge less than 3.
    when i started on sm i made my exlus 5 a min. the ones who wanted me would pay it and i couldnt see making it lower with what they are taking.


    Now on mfc when customers ask for skype it is itleast 3 a min, and dont feel bad about your age, im very young and they dont want to pay it , but i just wont go lower as i feel i weed out the ones i dont want. Unfortuantely i am not doing so well as i am not getting that many shows, i just refuse to waste my time. I am not sure its your age as i am having problems as well with getting customers at times on mfc.


    good luck to you.

Then they say you should charge 10 cents/ min. I've experienced a lot of that since the gold shows started and I just immediately ban any guy who complains about my price.

    I dont work on SM anymore because of gold shows, it killed my business, and i couldnt take the way customers were being about my prices.

    I've just recently noticed this. For a while -even well after GOld shows were around- I was still getting lots of privates, then "poof", they just dropped off within the last month, as did the type of customers I was getting. I didn't change my prices or anything nor was I doing b2b GOLD shows. Now I pretty much HAVE to do some GOLD shows (2-3 per shift) to make up for the loss with privates.

    i have upped my prices recently, they were at $3.49 for prem. and $4.49 for excl. and now they are at $3.64 and $4.64. i will be raising them slowly and so far it has been working out better for me. i still get the same amount of shows and even making more money from each. plus i also have been wearing street clothes and pajamas on cam with my hair and make up done. i don't get as many beggars and have been getting more quality guys who want longer shows. tweaking and experimenting to see what works for you is what making more money is all about. don't be so quick to lower your prices, that may not even be the issue. know what your worth is and just don't settle. like everyone else said, this is a luxury, if they want premium service, they gotta premium prices. if you don't think that you are good enough to be premium then you need to change that, cuz yes you can! anybody can, but some just don't realize it. it should be illegal to charge less than $3 a min for a sex show. C'mon this is sexual entertainment! don't sell your self short.

    I have noticed that since I have upped my prices a bit, I don't get a ton of prv's like I used to when my premium was 1.99 and exclusive 2.99. However, when I do go prv, I realize how much more I make in just a few minutes. I have not been able to reach me quota for the last two days so I have been camming at night for a few hrs for a little boost...It made me think about lowering my prices, but each time I thought about it, I would browse through the other models and say to myself...."this girl is missing almost all her teeth and charges 2.49....or this chick is like 80yrs old charging 3 bucks....this chick that just has the cam on her boobs is charging 3.99...." no way am I going to lower my prices again lol

    -hope that helps....follow me on twitter http://twitter.com/#!/LolaBabii69

    Ladies!!!! Stop selling yourselves short! There is a market for everyone. Every man has a fetish of some kind, whether it be BBW, blondes, young chicks, older chicks, feet, necks, Black girls, White girls, red heads...whatever! So believe me, there's plenty of men out there who would love to do a private show with you.

    Just because you're not "young" or "stick skinny" or "blonde", doesn't mean you need to lower your rates. Consider you rate your standard, and raise it as high as you want. You deserve it! Don't beat yourselves up! If you feel you are not worth just as much as the girls who are charging top dollar, the men on cam AND in real life will be able to run all over you, and you'll dismiss it because you think you don't deserve better.


    Keep your heads up ladies!!!

    I am working on Imlive and Cams.com you can sign up under me down below. My model referral for you ladies. I like cams.com because the men can show thier cams in free chat and you are getting paid from it. Plus, they offer fan clubs for us. Thy have nude chat on cams.com you do not ever have to do free chat. But I like the free chat on there for the guys who want to jack off or show off. Imlive and SM I hate free chat. I do ok on these sites. I am also on AW and don't do free chat. Cams is 45%

    Keep your heads up ladies!!!
    So true!! I've often heard that "I can only charge less because I'm BBW..." or MILF or whatever...No, that's no reason for lowering your prices! That's like saying "I'm inferior to skinny/young girls, I'm so sorry and embarrassed for what I am but I still would like to do this...So I charge less, if you hated me for my body/age, now at least accept me - for my low prices". That's not a good idea...You'll only end up hating yourself and everyone else. We're all beautiful...and "when you got it, flaunt it!"
    And thank you for this thread, because I can access SM only as a performer and I have no idea what do others charge...and I indeed charged 2.99...So I'm off to adjust my prices a bit

    there was another thread where i posted a screen shot of how they try and trick you...
    i have seen it mentioned so many times that you keep 45%...i can't believe they have fooled so many girls...

    I agree with upselling as well....

    On my site I sell a variety of goods/services...
    That way I CAN charge $5 a minute for webcam, because there are options.


    When A guy requests a show, and cant afford it, I always recommend my video store instead. ( not really upselling, but I am notifying my client of other products for his budget)



    Now for the OP, on a site like Cams.com I think the big sell should be the fan clubs, because if you spend 80hrs in a month you make a 100% bonus on it.

    100% of Net Revenue if you broadcast more than 80 hours in the preceding 30 days 75% of net revenue for 60-80 hours 50% of net revenue for 40-60 hours 25% of net revenue for 20-40 hours

    [email protected] Club (100%)02/17/2010 11:38:33
    1
    $23.34

    ( This fucker also did a chargeback 3 months later.... )

    But my point is, most sites have many options other than the cam. Sell content, record your private shows, have fanclubs or discount clubs....etc

    Im sure I had more to say, but when I wrote this I never even knew about that chargeback until today....SMDH... I got a brain fart.
