    Default Fellow BBW Models why do you charge so low?

    I just trolled through SM's bbw section. Well, I am on there and like to see what everyone else is up too.

    Why are you all charging under 1.99 a minute? Do you think because you are fat guys won't pay more? I charge 3.99 a minute for private and 4.99 for exclusive I make my money...but come on seriously...I really only noticed this for bbw models. I know it happens with others too but come on really..

    More money for me I suppose. There is some really pretty ladies there though that should be charging more than 1.99 a minute. Blah rant over.

    Oooh and I don't mean fat in a bad way or whatever. So don't get butthurt just dunno another way to put it.

    i am not a bbw. but i assume most of the ones that charge lower, think lower of themselves but the thing is, is that is still a fetish! bbw lovers are willing to shell out the cash cuz that is what they love and come there to see. i frankly think that no girl should ever charge less than $3 per min. i don't care what the girl is like or how old she is, there is someone who will pay and love it. know that your worth more and feel confident for it too!

    I charge $3.50+ for all of my shows. and my video prices are high as well.

    They need to figure out they are worth more than that, if they don't: MORE MONEY FOR ME.

    This biz is NOT for people with low self-esteem. If you have that problem you will crack and this industry will destroy you and your competition will destroy you.

    i'm a bbw and i charge 3.49/4.49.

    there's a top bbw model who charges like 1.99/min for exclusive and it just makes me want to bang my head against a wall. she obv banks so good for her but really? 1.99/min when you are in the top four rows most of the time? WHY?

    i'm hoping to work up to 3.99/4.99 - i tried it for a bit but it was too drastic of a jump. i've been doing really well at 3.49/4.49 though.

    She has to work 10x as hard to make $100, see more guys in a day, etc at $1.99

    If you charge higher, you can make your $100 goal in less time and see fewer guys throughout the day.

    I'd rather take the latter.

    Yeah I noticed one of the top BBWs is running a "holiday special" for 1.99 a min. Ugh...

    I thought about lowering my rates since I hadn't been on in a while to get some traffic but if I got a long private I'd be kicking myself because I could have made more money doing the same thing.

    just keep working on your placement to get more traffic. use the encoder, offer more features for shows like phone and block sessions, experiment w/o geo, work on perfecting camshows, etc. it really irritates me that most girls are soooo quick to change they're prices. DO NOT change your prices too drastically or too often, these guys will NEVER take you seriously if you do. start to where you feel comfortable and slowly move your prices up by 10-15 cents each time. keep the BUSINESS SENSE in mind. it will only BETTER your business.

    Honestly, I have looked them over, most don't wear makeup or cute outfits. They are not the prettiest girls around either. They all sit there looking bored, why would a customer want to take somebody like that prvt?

    I am at $4.91 prvt & $6.99 for exclusives. Rarely do I sit in public chat more than 5 minutes before getting a show. Maybe once a month ONE guy will tell me I'm to expensive & I laugh at him.

    Sadly, most bbw's do have low self-esteem.

    Smooches,

    I charge 2.99 and 3.99 and I'm a BBW, but I'm planning on upping that within a couple of months. I see no need to charge any lower than that. If they like you, they'll usually pay up anyway

    I was wondering the exact same thing!! I read the post on "How much are you worth" and I just wanted to point that one that charges 1.99 to stripper web, but I didn't. BUT REALLY.....It saddens me.

    I charge 3.79 private and 2.99 exclusive because I do not like the 30 second guys. I plan on raising my prices in January when I have more available money to spend on toys etc.

    Guys never complain about my prices, I put on a good show.

    i get some guys that bitch about my prices once in a while but this is MY price, pay it or leave! there is always someone who will. i get a good amount of prvts at my price, but if i wasn't then yea i would lower it a little. but i don't let those cheap fucks talk me into lowering it, that is not negotiable.

    3.49 / 4.49 with no problems. Hell, previously I was on 4.99/4.99 with no problems, but I took time off SM, grr.

    Wait 1.99 at 35% is .70 a minute ?? Really? I don't care what size you are. Men will pay if you feel you're worth it. That's the issue with self esteem. I don't care if you have to get in the mirror and say you love yourself every day. Then get on cam and up those rates.

    On one site some guy used to come in daily and harass me about my price but he was cheap. So I had to block him eventually. Why complain about something you never have to pay for? Just find women you can afford. Simple.

    I'm in the BBW category, I'm at 2.99 priv/3.99 excl, I've found that this works best for me to average out how much I have to work to make my goal. I don't think I could ever do 1.99 a minute though, thats just insane.

    Wow! I'm going to talk for my experience...

    I'm just getting started and I am not a BBW (but not a skinny girl either) and I charge 1.99 >_< I think I'm not prettty enough, but I'm always smiling in free chat and being very very nice with all... Do you think I need to charge more?

    ^ guess what if you don't think ur pretty enough, they won't either. better fake some confidence till you have it.

    it makes me sad when girls do low prices cuz they think they are not worth more, don't do phone, don't have enough toys, don't have enough outfits, aren't skinny enough...whatever.

    i could use no sound, have no toys, no outfits and be 300 lbs and i would still bank as long as i believed i was worth it..if you believe it, they will pay for it.

    If you're talking about the person I think you are, she used to be on ImLive and her rates were 1.99/min AND she ran discount club, so i'm sure she had people paying as low as 1.59/min. As far as this goes though, she was always in their 'Hall of Fame'. So I guess it works for her

    there's another bbw model who moved from imlive to streamate (i used to work on imlive as well) who banks on sm but charges much higher prices (3.99/4.99). must have been a mass bbw exodus from imlive...lol!

    it's good that people find things that work for them and i'm glad she banks with it...it just boggles my mind. i got way more traffic charging less but i ended up spending a lot more time fucking myself for the same amount of money. i'd rather work less for more money, personally. to each their own.

    Yeah I totally agree and she is a pretty girl, nice look, super friendly personality......and at the same time, the reason I do not work the day shift much...lol! It's hard being new, not much of a regular fan base and then competing with those prices is HARD!!

    Only person in the world is your competition is yourself.

    It is hard to get going on cam for new gals, but that has nothing to do with how much you weigh. Skinny, young, old, chubby makes no difference, rarely is a gal making money on cam right off the bat.

    Be the best you can be.
    Remember. if your cheap then all you might get is the cheap guys. There are tons of men who want FREE! Those get kicked or blocked the fastest.

    Find your best feature and play it up the most.
    I used to hate my fat ass, but the guys love it; so now it is always in the camera making me money.

    LOL life is an adventure, have fun

    I dont think any less of myself for charging less. I think Im just perfect! We all use different strategy. I love the constant playtime. I do hate being in free for more than a few minutes. Action keeps me in the groove! If a guy is rude rushing or pushy I ban them! problem solved! I usualy get tipped out the bum after the chat. I am happy and I am not ashamed of myself. I have tried high rates and low rates just rercently, come to find I do better charging lower. High rates or low most of us have one thing in mind, making the most $ possible. Look your best stay pretty and you will do well. Maby I will change my mind eventualy but right now I am happy!

    Just my thoughts....
    Lotsa love ladies!

    When I started camming a few months ago, I had low self esteem and would think "I"m fat, no one wants to pay too much for that" and would charge the lowest SM would let me 0.99/min... wow, I had to work my ass off and then some just to make some money, not to mention have many 30 second/1 min men come in to my pvt chat... then my best friend (also a bbw cam model) told me to up my rates as at the very least it will make me work less for the same outcome... now I charge more and with it got a lot more confidence in myself... I actually enjoy being online as I have my men that love my chubby curves and that makes me feel even more sexy!!!

    All in all, I've learned that the confidence I am building is what makes me earn more now....
