xoxoxox
I raised all my rates after NYE came in. Everything goes up every year! A cam model's value should do the same!



I'm seriously considering it. It's just on ImLive there's such a jump between 3.80 and 4.80 and guys will notice. I just realized that the reason I havent gotten many coming to my room after responding to their fantasty request is because they found someone to do it for less.
Now, you can offer discounts out the wazoo and I would if my price was set to 4.80. It's just the percentage is such shit I feel like my time would be worth it with a higher price. Plus I think it's pretty obvious I offer a lot. I may try it for a few days but terrified of losing regulars.

I've been 4.99/5.99 for like ... ever. But I hate free chat, so I'm not sure if I should raise them ... hmm ...
I'm at 5.99/6.49 right now, going to be upping it again soon
lol wut?
I have A website i advertise on where i can put my prices. As soon as someone adds me and asks, 'can we do a show for *^*& instead?' I block they're dumb ass. Im lucky I get enough buisness that I can afford to just not deal with cheap assholes. My best advice is, Set a price and stick to it. Your price should reflect what you think your shows are worth, and how much money is a good amount from each show. I charge $25.00 Per 10 minutes, with NO deals. People who actually intend to pay have no problem with my prices, but cheap time wasters COMPLAIN COMPLAIN COMPLAIN!
Thats what I did! Amazing results and no one seems to notice but me when im spending all the extra monies! YOU GO GIRLY!
Most of the time when you change prices by alot on whatever site you are on you bring a different type of guy into your room.
It was the easiest for me to see on Niteflirt... when I change 1.69 per min had a different group of guys calling then when I change 2.69 and still a different group when I change 3.69... I find that most guys have their set price range and do not really go outside of it.... I feel that one would be hard press to find a guy that would pay a girl .99 a min then pay another girl 3.99...
so as your prices change so do your regulars and that is ok....



I have my SM rates set at $5.99 for premium and $4.99 for exclusive and I haven't heard a single complaint yet. That being said I haven't logged a ton of hours - but I did get my first ever 30min block last night and I've been in privates pretty consistently (well, consistently enough to keep me happy and my vag from waving the flag of mercy so far) with those rates. I'm literally brand new on SM. I'm going to stay at these prices for a while and only lower them for special occasions- holiday sales or what have you. Then they'll go right back to where they were. It'll probably be a while yet before I actually raise my raise - and that'll only be after testing the water and keeping an eye on what other, similar girls are charging.
I reallyreallyREALLY wish MFC let us charge our own rates. Or at least boot guys or give them a prompt to pay the hell up if they've been lurking too long. I don't use the encoder (not yet, anyway) and I'm not sure I will use it. I have it installed just in case.
I have sound, a pretty clear picture, not the best cam but it does the trick, and I stream in HD. Where I live has a stupid good internet plan so I have superfast internet as well. Here's to hoping for the minimum of "discount bb?"![]()





Maybe for this January 1 - January 15 ImLive pay period, try 4.80. I think you should stick to it for AT LEAST a week or two.
I think a while back I saw that ImLive has a 'Midnight Madness' discount code template for the mailing list feature. So you can send out a message to your mailing list, letting them know that midnight is the time to get a discounted show. I THINK that's what it was. It's been a while since I've used their mailing list feature.

For those girls who are afraid you'll never get a private again if you raise your prices. I am currently at $9.99/$14.99.
Now, I am not saying this price structure will work for you -- but I can tell you that I still get privates.![]()
The results are in .I'm still getting privatesNot as much (maybe it was a slow day )but I still reached my goal faster cuz im charging more .Just like someone said on here "work smarter ,not harder "
Thank you so much you guys for the courage to raise my prices and realize my worth.Go gurls, make 2013 a money making year

Well, I upped mine from $5.99/6.69 to 6.69/7.99... I was on at a different time then normal today but still had regulars and still had guys going exclusive... but I don't think as many as I normally would have.. now not sure if it was because the time I was on (not my normal time) or if it was because of my rates.. I'm glad you said to wait 2 weeks BrownFox, was tempted to change it back before I saw thatLooking forward to next week when kids are back to school
and I can get normal again!
Ewww, just eww to those who are doing this kind of work for cheap. I mean really have some sort of respect for yourselves if your charging less than what a waitress is tipped to do this kind of work you need to not do this cause your in the way. Girls like this make it harder for those of us actually trying to make a living. There should be some sort of code of ethics for our industry.


Here is a question for everyone screaming raise your rates raise raise!!!! What if what has happened to me happens to them which means my customer's have dropped off, I am having to work longer hr's just to make what I did at a lower rate in a few, and those oh so new customer's aren't coming to replace the one's who dropped off? Does the girl stay at the rate in hopes she will build new clients while in the meantime drowning.
People keep saying we are a luxury they should pay. However, we forget to realize that yes we are a luxury and what do people do when they can no longer afford that luxury: 1.) Visits become less frequent 2.)They find other alternatives 3.)They cut the luxury out if their budget.
I am not saying a person shouldn't raise their price but the main question is can i afford to.





I've raised and lowered my prices again to find the right balance...it is really hard when you have to factor in other things like the particular month or even the week in that month, the difference between the 2 amounts, there are so many variables.

How long have you had your rates up? Did you notice the drop immediately upon raising your rates? In asking those questions I'm raising the idea that since camming income can fluctuate vastly from day to day when one is first starting out, unless you experiment with different rates over a longish period of time you'll never know whether the rate increase was responsible for the slowdown, or whether you're just experiencing a slump that happens to every newer cam chica occasionally.
Ultimately, you need to figure out what rates work best for you. You aren't accountable to anyone here for how much you charge, and you should never let anyone push their idea of 'proper' rates on you like it's some sort of ethical obligation. This is about YOUR $$$$, not about proving yourself to a bunch of strangers who don't pay your bills. When you're not earning the $$$$ you want/need, you need to try something new. Change your room, mix up your style, experiment with your rates. Adjust various factors until you end up with the $$$$ you need and want.
Also remember (as has been pointed out before) that many sm chicas here who charge higher-than-average per min rates also often do gold shows that work out to very low per min prices. That's a form of adaptation that has nothing to do with the 'ethics' of not being 'cheap'. It's simply a matter of charging what the market will bear at any given moment in order to reap the best $$$$ rewards possible, and it sounds like that's what you're in the process of figuring out. I look at it like we all have an individual 'sweet spot' strategy that enables us each earn the most $$$$ possible most efficiently, and figuring out yours is your goal. By all means be inspired by this thread to test your boundaries and try new things, but keep experimenting until things work for you. If you're feeling insecure about the concept of raising your rates, keep detailed logs of what you earn per hour on any given day at different per min rates so that you can assure yourself that you're not falsely ascribing one variable among many as the cause of every slow shift, but never feel like you have to choose some arbitrary rate per min number based on the judgement of others.
I wish you good luck. Changing things up can be really frustrating cuz there's enough variables to make a head spin, but you'll get there if you keep on experimenting and pushing through. Rates are a factor, and only you can figure out what your sweet spot is. You're accountable to no one here for that.
peace and $$$$$$

I have had the rate up since the second week of Dec. what i saw was regular's come in speak to me and have a little conversation then they were gone.
You are right when you say there are so many variables to factor in. They do make your head spin right now I am taking into account we just came out of a holiday.
When you raise your rate and know you give good service but just can't make it convert the way you want you end up questioning well at least me if i should keep going on.
As usual, loveshooks has brought up an VERY important point. I can tell you straight out that I would never have my rates as high as I do if I didn't have the ability to do gold shows to get me through the 'lean times.' My gold show end up being very successful because guys know that if they don't get in on those 'cheap prices' they will be back to paying $9.99/$14.99 a minute again. I only do striptease in my gold shows so guys know that if they want more they have to pay the per minute price and so the cheap gold shows end up getting me more privates in the end and fills up the time inbeween the 'big spenders'.
I would personally NOT recommend raising your per minute rate sky high if you do not have gold shows yet.
I had my prices at 4 p/m, raised them to 6 (granted this is on mgf as I haven't signed up for sm yet) and i had NO takers for 2 days. I really hate being at 4 p/m. I think I'm going to finally motivate myself to just fill out SM's crap application lol. Just sucks that I don't have a scanner.




When I did GOLD shows constantly, my rates were 9.99 premium & 14.99 exclusive. Did I get many privates? No, because 90% of my work was GOLD shows anyway. I wouldn't know.
When I got bored of doing nothing but GOLD shows and went back to relying mostly on privates, I lowered my premium rate to 5.99 (now 5.49 for reasons I will detail later) but kept my 14.99 exclusive.
For me personally: I hate free chat.
I hate waiting for GOLD show countdowns too...
This is evident for how I now just do countdowns for like just 4 mins, and if my $100 - $200+ targets aren't met, no show happens!All I do is let on that I'm "too fucking horny to wait around" and it's back to privates! Usually with a fuller room too, because the GOLD show countdown brought in more guys than if there would have been no countdown.
When I have my rates set way high, I get less privates.
Combine that with the fact that I also don't like working for very long. 3 hours at the most; 5 hours at a stretch; 8 hours if I'm desperate; - it's mostly a couple hours a night - and you have one burned out camgirl working free chat for a few big spenders.
I set my premium at around the 5.49 - 5.99 because that for me is the sweet spot where I'm used to entertaining more than one guy in premium at a time and FREQUENTLY. "Frequency" really is the key word here. - No sitting for ages waiting for what might end up to just being me removing and putting my underwear back on, then straight back to free chat for another round.. Yawn..
I much prefer "cheaper" expensive rates (lol), but be more used to performing, with guys coming in and out. I make more this way because it keeps me going, keeps my mind working, keeps my body moving, keeps me actually working (which is what I'm there for!), and keeps me entertained. Heck, I don't even mind those 30-second "peepers", because they do fuck up! And they can fuck up their plans a LOT!- They can stay on for as much as a few seconds too long, and bam! - I have their money too. They really do add up.
And as for 14.99 exclusive - if it's gonna be just ONE, it had better be worth my time! If they don't want to pay 14.99, then they can get into premium: with the others! XD
