I charge $5 per min in indie world.. I raised my rate about 2 months ago cuz I was fed up!.. I was doing really well on cam sites and these guys want to dicker around for cheap rates on indy sites.. I WAS charging $4 per min.. never lowered them since.. was not getting that much shows a $4 so at $5 I am getting the same amount of show for a lil bit extra money.. $5 per min is pretty steep for these guys.. but when I am talking to them about it? I never make them think I am NOT worth it.. I am worth more.





I understand your way of thinking but after being a cam girl for YEARS!.. you BECOME The bratty princess bitchy domme.. because you see that all your hard work of being affordable to guys were for NOT.. that's what happened to me.. I wanted to be affordable as well. I charged anywhere from $1.99-$3.99.. I priced myself so that I could get at least $1 per min.. and do you know what ended up happening? Yea I was busy all the time.. 50 shows a day.. I fell asleep to a sore vagina that sometimes lasted til the next day.. I didn't want to work the next day but I knew I had to... I started to get even more stressed out because my rates were not in line with what I needed to support my family.. so I then started giving sob stories to my best customers who sent hundreds to my paypal and western union.. I did this for 9 YEARS!!!!!!!!! and then I found stripperweb in 2012 and I couldn't BELIEVE girls were charging such expensive rates!.. I thought what I was charging was the norm.. I never had any money and I was always sad and depressed.. I still am but now I have MORE money to be sad and depressed about.. now after 14 yrs I am ready to get out of camming.. because I WASTED 9 yrs charging such low rates I never had anymoney to save.. I NEVER had any money til I charged more and found stripperweb.. and now I want to move on with life.. which I could have done sooner if I charged more years ago.. just because you enjoy charging less and make yourself affordable doesn't mean you want to deal with their shit for 14 yrs! and be happy about them..



Man, I was just thinking about this! I'm averagely priced among front page girls, but expensive in my category. There are maybe 3 other girls in my category charging more than me, and they're all top ranking expert hoes whereas I'm just like "no anal sry bye". I'm constantly doubting my strategy and wondering if I should lower my rates.
But then I remember how totally fucked I am after 2-3 hours on cam. Do I want to do more shows and get more fucked for the same amount of $$?
Sometimes it feels like I spend hoursss languishing in freechat, but realistically to sustain 50% or more, doing the shows I do, would just be pussy cruelty. And thigh cruelty. I think I'll stay where I am :|
I charge 1.99$ a minute and I am happy with it, it works for me.
I HATEEEE hour long sessions, at 1.99$ I am making my 300$ a day goal in 4 hours and that is good because I do not have the time to spend much longer then 4 hours camming
I also rarely deal with many beggars because I don't spend more then 5 minutes in fee chat for them to beg me for much or ask me many questions because, if they wanna ask me a question before someone else takes me private or exclusive- they gotta take me themselves so I generally am getting taken private or exclusive while a guy asks me questions about my shows.
Hey, it may seem stupid and it may not work for other girls, but if I had to be on cam for 6+ hours a night just to get my goal I would be going hungry.




This is the constant argument I have with myself, do I want more shows at a cheaper rate or do I want to remain expensive but sit around longer? I've decided I want to remain expensive despite the weekly abuse I get about not being 'worth' my rate or mocked by cheapasses because for every abusive arsehole there are 5 guys that pay without question or hesitation and act like I am a goddess. If I lowered my rates I would make less from the shows I do get as regulars would still want shows and they pay the higher rate now.
The other point that was raised in the thread Dynomite linked to about taking longer to give away the goods is fantastic advice though at any rate, I fell into the trap at first of I'm expensive so I have to put on a better show and quickly, that's just not true. Guys who pay me are looking for a personal experience and I found using my voice instead of my body often makes me more money. I prefer to remain clothed for the first 2-4 minutes but TELL them about the amazing show they are going to get before delivering what I've promised. They get hooked on the anticipation and forget how much they are spending
However I believe it is very much a personal choice and don't look down on other ladies who have cheaper rates than me, whatever works for you is what you should do. I'm happy with the goals I set myself and strive for but they could be 10x less than the next girl or 10x more it doesn't really matter.

I wasn't the person who originally posted it, and the person who did is now long gone from the forum. I know a while back I talked about the idea and explained it because I couldn't find the original post. Sadly, now I can't find my own post about it, either!
I can probably do a rewrite again, but was there something specific you were trying to remember?

Also, when the money does come back, you'll be super sad with all the "but bb where are the cheap shows?" guys. Don't do stuff for less when times are tough. Get you some financial advice. Hustle your ass off during the winter months so you can save for the Summer when its slower so that you don't have to lower your prices to make ends meet. Do what you gotta do, but don't sell yourself short. Ever.



^^Me too. Miss her on here. And her hustle game is STILL sooo on point...




No, although that's an awesome idea, too. I'm sad that Fridays got banned shortly after I showed up here, so I never really got to know her personally. Posts from Fridays and Roast basically taught me everything I needed to know as a newb.
Maybe you remember the person that originally posted this idea, JAC? Her name started with Lady and I don't remember what the rest of it was. Her avatar was something sort of abstract with a lot of blue and sandstone color. I remember that her earnings numbers impressed me, and she liked essential oils and stuff like that.
Anyhow, the idea was that you divide your day into three parts, whether by time or money goal is up to you. Then your rates increase for each third of the day.
Part one is ideally a rate that is low enough that you do pretty brisk business, and guys feel that they're getting an early bird special of some kind. It shouldn't be so low that you feel uncomfortable with charging too little, overwork yourself, or have a bunch of "3 dildos in ass and fist pussy bb?" guys. It's a fine line to walk, but you can adjust from day to day until you find a sweet spot.
The benefit of part one is that you get a lot of shows while you're energetic at the beginning, and you gain momentum right off the bat. You'll also have the chance to get some money out of the guys that aren't total cheapos, but can't quite afford your standard rates.
Part two is your normal rates. The amount of shows should still be pretty steady, but not as high as before. This is the time for middle of the road spenders.
Part three is for higher rates, and it's a good time to test out rates that you aren't sure anyone will pay. The amount of shows should decrease quite a bit, but since you worked hard earlier, that's probably a relief. It's the time for slowing down and catching whales.
The plan works best if you have a consistent schedule. Over time, guys that want/need lower rates will learn to show up earlier in your shift and keep you busy during the first third of the day. Whales that want you all to themselves will learn to wait and catch you later in your shift, when you aren't in and out of private the whole time, and they don't have to scramble to get an exclusive with you.
As to whether to divide the day by time or money, my personal preference is time. However, if I make 1/3 of my money goal before the time's up on the first part of the day, I'll go ahead and switch rates early. I figure that a sale is generally limited to a certain quantity of merchandise - if a store has a two week sale, but all the sale items sell out by the third day, that's that. They don't say "oh, we advertised two weeks of sale, but we're out of sale items, so let's discount other things, too." If a model is very popular and profitable on a particular day, there's no reason to continue the "sale" for longer than necessary. Of course, if you regularly meet your 1/3 monetary goal before your 1/3 time goal, you probably could raise your rates for the first part of the day.
Obviously, a lot of this is highly theoretical, and YMMV quite a lot. Also, I should mention that I have trouble with keeping a regular schedule, so I haven't personally tested this stuff out as thoroughly as I'd like.

I love it when I have a guy bitching about my prices and a customer swoops me up into paid![]()

Actually,xBaby_Dollx, I have heard of this method working particularly on sites like camcontacts. A couple of girls on that website actually say that method works for camming. Frankly, I did that method for phone sex and it really helps meet my goals within 4 hours. Maybe, I will try that method on webcam at 3.99?Thanks for the inspiration.
Mercedes Benz used to be a prestige brand and their cars were very much high end luxury that sold well. Then they got the unfortunate idea to come out with a budget model. The following year, the rich people who owned Mercedes sold their cars or ended their leases because they did not want to be associated with the Mercedes brand anymore. Mercedes almost went bankrupt. It took them a decade to recover to where they are today and even so, Mercedes will never be seen as Lamborghini or Bentley.
It is a sad fact but, "Rich men don't want no dollar ho."

^^ thats precisely the model I work off. Believe me there are guys compleyely ignoring the 1.99 cheap looking girls yet paying ridiculous amounts for girls they see as 'high end'.
Anyways about the different rates through the day thing - it can work. I never go cheaper but often when ive made my goal for the day I will up my rates, and low and behold always get custies x





Without knocking anyone's hustle, I'd just like to add something. Think about the TYPE of customer you want. Sometimes I'll have someone drop by my room and say something like "dam bb bitch u is expensive", and in that moment I'm so glad I am. I would never ever want someone like in my pvt show thinking they have control because they are paying me what they can afford, which let's be real here, is not much.
I get a lot of stacked premiums on SM, but every now and then when the crowd starts getting too unlikable, I raise my rate to exclude some people. Exclusion is a good thing because nothing I do is "all access", ever. It just attracts a certain type of person that I don't want to deal with. Being prohibitive is also good.
My block list currently sits at about 60 or so people. Not because I'm tolerant, but more because I decided a long time ago what type of person I wanted to attract and it seems to have worked. I get the odd troll and the odd rude idiot, but mostly I get eloquent, educated men who spend well. My prices are not for those who look in the bargain basement, mine are for those who don't even look at the prices on things when they buy, because they know they can afford it anyway.
Since taking this approach, my camming life has become a lot better. It's been a long time since I felt harassed in any way or disrespected, I haven't been attacked etc and I haven't done a show that I felt uncomfortable doing or dealt with someone who made me uncomfortable since like last year when my cap on SM was $5.99. Back then I had a few people who just made me feel off. They don't come round anymore because they can't afford me, even a little, and that's the way it stays.
If you want to have longevity in this industry you owe it to yourself to make sure your work environment is good and peaceful and very often having high rates ensures that without you even having to do too much.
