    Default Cammodel Rates, What Should I Charge?

    Just stop.
    Cause if its working, please, brag about your income due to CHEAP shows price.
    Please do tell. Is it worth it?
    Are you making more then me and the others who are not cheap?


    Please. Stop. Being Cheap !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Edit: This is not for the foreign models who cant do better.
    That I got. They cant do better. To them $1 is God on Earth.
    This is for the US/UK/Canada ladies who speak perfect English and CAN do better.

    YOU KNOW people in these countries tip more then $5 to a waitress, just to bring a plate with food at their table.
    And you are charging $1- $3 to Fuck yourself LIVE?
    I get it, once, twice ... its all good....marketing at its best....
    But all the time????!?!?
    Is it worth being cheap?

    I've seen a lot of pre-occupation here with price per minute. While I don't want to charge a low price...fact is anything per minute is more than nothing per minute.
    How about charging a moderate price per minute and getting some regulars whooped up on you that stay in chat for an hour or more at a time and tip like theres no tomorrow. I'm just saying. Nothing turns a guy off more than a greedy bitch. again JMO

    Absolutely. My cam customers love me and I'm a really f*king greedy bitch!

    I actually experimented with a lower price on streamate once, went to 1.99. I made way less, worked way harder and my room was innundated with cheap assholes who had the nerve to ask me to go to .99 cents, wtf!

    I raised my price and I found the customers can actually afford a show and aren't all idiots.

    A cam show is a LUXURY item, a one on one personalized fully interactive porn fantasy fulfillment service. it is NOT a hamburger or a lipstick. Guys who are looking to pay nothing go to free tube siteswhile the others come to US because they prefer a personalised experience. They KNOW that every girl in this business does it for the money and they know that if they push and haggle that some girls are desperate enough to lower her prices for them What these girls are doing is counteractive. They are completely missing the fact that these guys WILL pay whatever price you set if they like you.

    Girls need to get some self respect and stop cheapening the industry. See the bigger picture - if a majority undersell themselves, our industry will no longer be profitable for any but those megastars who already have their brand set in stone.

    just can't be thinking like that in this biz. if u know ur worth is high standard, guys will have no prob paying it. this pussy is premium, treat like it is gold. if u don't think it's worth much, they won't either. these men are to be trained.

    I charge 5.99 on SM and this to me is CHEAP! After sm's hideous 75% cut you are left with a measly 2.09 which when it gets to me in the uk after conversion fees is a ridiculous ONE POUND!!! It flabbergasts me that girls can charge so little and still look themselves in the eye. Honestly if you'r fue happy to earn so little per hour why are you not flipping burgers instead of risking your safety, privacy, and the contempt of your family and friends on the internet for all to see in perpetuity forever!!!

    10000000% Agreed. I saw a girl with a prize wheel reccently and it really urked me out.
    PRETTY girl from the US... selling a spin for 20 tokens, people were winning 10 minute skype shows and public hitachi shows, dildo shows, whatever, for $1 in her pocket.... something i'd give a smile and a blown kiss for..

    If guys don't want to pay the MFC private rate with me they can move to the next room. That's why I don't do Skype, too many cheapos on there looking for a deal and a model who will budge and do a cheap show because it's "slow" that night.

    I started out with high prices and I plan to keep them that way. It takes upwards of 1300 tokens to just get my titties out in public chat. I have yet to be naked there, and though I am sure that will happen eventually it will be at a big cost. I had slow nights in the beginning and still do sometimes with this method but it works for me and they are a hell of a alot more likely to take me private and spend big there instead of tipping a huge amount towards something as simple as tits.

    Like misskatie said, if they want FREE or CHEAP they can go to some porntube site and watch recordings, not beg us, people who are ACTUALLY THERE TRYING TO WORK, for cheap deals because "they are horny" or "we are just so hot" or "they just can't buy more tokens now but they will come back and tip you huge next time" - or "other models don't charge that much and do this and that" eff that. Guys go out to the Strip Club and pay $10 a drink all night and get private dances for what (not too clear about general pricing here but) $60+ per 2-3 songs? When you think about it, what they pay to see us camgirls is a FUCKING GOOD DEAL, you don't see any dancers in the champage room riding a sibian fuck machine or pounding herself with a 7 inch dildo whilst using her hitachi as part of her strip show now do you?

    /end rant.

    THANK YOU FRIDAYS!

    I would like to quote something I heard TheBrownFox say once in her room...
    "This isn't Burger King, you can't have it your way!"

    I'm struggling with this issue at the moment. I'm slowllly raising my rates because I don't want the custies to think I've lost my damn mind or to not take me seriously.
    One of the reasons my rates are low is because I've been inconsistent a lot this year because of life drama and I do have another (albeit, shitty) job, and I thought it would help bring in customers. I still do ok when I work, but I would love to work a little less harder for more money. I'm planning on buying more sexy outfits/toys/and using phone along the way to make the jump feel more justified. ://// This thread is kind of making me feel bad about myself, but I shouldn't have ever priced myself so low in the first place. I'm hot, young, and I have a great camera and personality! Thanks ladies.

    I am in the same position as you hun - not cammed consistently for a few months now, no schedule to speak of, and i wondered if i really had the right to be charging my old amount. but you know what? Every time i get back on cam my old regs come find me and happily pay my price and so do new guys.S o hold your head up, raise your prices, and work on giving a great show to guys who will appreciate you and come back over and over, even after your next price raise

    in the category im listed in just based off guys responses girls have low rates. i get a nice bunch of guys saying plz do gold show. so i said yea y not.. within 5 mins i canceled i realized these are the cheap f***s that go to these girls. so i raised my prices even higher.

    this may not work for everyone.
    but what i noticed is that your confidence is what sales. my prices to some may be average others sky high but i since i raised my prices i make my mini goal of $150 in 1hour and half or less .

    why? bc when i get on cam i OWN IT .
    less short shows and more long ones .. = more $$ and less free chat negotiating lmao

    How about everyone just stops worrying about each other & worries about themselves? Win-win! I'll be gettin' rich & others can either get rich with me, emotional exhaust themselves with less than stellar pay, or give up completely. See you later!

    Is not really like that , i dont see the point of charging 6$ and have no privates , there should be a balance between your comfort zone and what guys are willing to pay for you , your price is something you play with according your moods and your needs .
    In my opinion you dont raise your price unless you have a big fan base that can bring you 100-150 /day , than you can raise because even if u loose some guys wont be so dramatic !
    On other hand there will be always girls who want to make their money in less time possible so a lower price will give you more guys watching the show , or girls who like better 101 and they gonna keep their price high .

    Because they know you are getting to keep more money. I find indy attracts so many cheap asses who won't even pay the $2 a min without begging for a discount.

    Also though, I do think you have to test prices out for each site you work. I find I can charge more successfully on some sites than others. (I've since dropped some of the rock bottom sites). You have to find where your sweet spot is.

    Also don't try it for like 3 days and consider it a failure. You might have to put up with a few slow days if you've been charging a low price.

    I tend to charge more on sites with free chat because 1) - they are already wanking so my shows are shorter and 2) I have to work harder!

    What I found though is the guys who will pay 1.99 are not the same customer base who will pay 5.99.

    I'd rather have those 5.99 customers because my shows are longer and they are much less demanding. Those are the guys who are not worrying about what they spend.

    I agree with this! I seriously refuse to do anything less then what I think I'm work, and I know that I've NEVER had a guy say anything bad about any part of my body or looks, so why am I not worth it then? If they want to see what everyone else has gotten addicted to, they should be willing to fork up the cash to do so

    I tried to be somewhere in the middle with my prices, as a matter of fact I was too cheap before I came to SW but you all opened my eyes and thank you for that!

    I don't like frequently adjusting my prices and I don't really believe in starting up cheap and then slowly raising your prices. Many regulars will hate that they must pay more than a week ago and will think "she did it for x amounts just a few days ago, she' getting greedy..." and find someone else. And it's not really even about the money but the fact that some will feel you're trying to take advantage of them by raising your prices and will get all butthurt about it. What I'm saying is that just because you're a newbie or don't have many outfits or whatever, don't start with low prices, you know you're worth more than that! And if someone becomes your regular just because your prices are low...well, I'm sure that's not a regular anyone would want. And this is not aimed at anyone in particular, just my thoughts.

    As other girls said before me, this is a luxury, a premium entertainment. Nothing will get you to hate yourself and the world more than showing off your naked body and doing sexual acts for a small amount of money. I'd rather work less and feel like I'm a goddess than work a lot and feel like a cheap whore.

    Also the problem with low prices is that this is the adult industry, so most people expect to pay high prices and when they see something cheap, they begin to wonder...Yet another problem is that charging low prices attracts assholes and cheapasses and those kinds of assholes who want to record your show and put it all over the internet.

    I don't get the 0.5 credit per minute girls on AW for example. Friday is right that there are some countries where 1 dollar means a lot more than in the US, but even then I don't get it because if they charge 0.5 and they live a good life on that money, they could charge what other girls charge and live like kings.
    I'm not questioning other people's business practices, I'm just sad when I see low prices because I feel they all affect me and my business in the long run. And I'm not even in the expensive category, I'm somewhere in the middle.
