    Dizzy Streamate rate

    So I just signed up for SM & needed advice on how much to charge. I understand everyone is different but it has to do with the site as well. I'm not use to SM & it's type of customer. Is it the site that its better to charge less like $2.99 which is the least I can do to get more shows or you can do just as well with something like $3.99 and up? How do you do and what kind of rate do you charge? Thanx girls! Just hard to figure out when I'm use to MFC and not SM with it's 35%. : /

    Inline with the "everyone is different" phrase, I would start with the rates you have at the moment. If you feel your getting alot of business then slowly raise the rate until you find a nice balance, then change with "supply and demand" as times goes by.

    2.99 and 3.99 would be were I would start, the 1.99 as you mention is extremely low and not really worth it.

    Streamate's payout percentage is so low (35%) that anything under $4 is hardly worth it. I think I started at around 2.49/3.49 but realized I was working my ass off for what averaged out to be $60/hour in private!!!! After a week I changed my rates to 3.99/4.49 and that's where it's at now...I make about the same for alot less work. I plan to raise my rates again as soon as I get my new laptop which would allow me to stream in hd and move into my new house (end of the month) where I can make as much noise as I want and move around the house freely (for example to the tub/shower) because I'm hiding my camming from my roomies atm.

    Start as high as you can, it's easier to start high and lower it a bit then to start low and try to raise it. Wish I had known that when I first started!

    Please clarify... What is the question you want us to answer in the poll? You want us to select what we personally charge? What we charged when we were new to streamate? Or are you asking us to select what YOU, as a fresh model, should charge?

    How much more can I expect to make when I start streaming in HD? My laptop sucks (1gb mem/intel atom processor) and enjoys lagging and freezing, but I'm still new and charge 3.99/4.49. Currently I don't make a whole lot...avg $30/hr on SM. Just wondering because I'll have the money to buy a new laptop by the 16th that will be able to handle splitcamming/hd, but just want to make sure it'll make a significant difference in income because I already have a ton of bills and rent of 2 diff places that day.

    what do you currently offer? how is the quality of ur shows? are you new to camming/industry? what kinds of features do you offer? like offer phone? stream w/hd encoder or not? internet connection strength? do you have a specific niche you play into? all these factor into what ur price should be, but i do think at the bare minimum, you should go no lower than $2.49prem/$3.49excl. then slowly raise ur prices, like .10 to .15 cents after a few weeks each time. then get on cam and bust ur ass to boost ur money, regs, and ratings. treat it like a business and you will make money like a business. that's my 2 cents worth

    I started off charging more than 4.99.... my answer choice is not available in the poll. And I assume you are talking about Pvt, and not Exclusive?

    I charge $4.09/minute premium and $4.99/minute exclusive.

    I can't offer HD streaming and I can't speak, but I'm still 5 star rated, still earn very well and have regulars who love me.
    I love what I do and put a lot of effort into every show. <3 I strongly believe that what I give is worth the charge.

    I started at $2.99 and $4.99 but the tiny percentage made that really difficult. I now charge $3.99 and $5.79. I noticed a big increase in my earnings when I put it up. Particularly as I get nicer guys who are easier to talk to and get along with I have thought about putting it up to $4.99 but I like that at the moment I usually have several people in premium chat at one time. I wonder if a higher rate would change that, or if the larger amount would equal it out anyway.

    Sorry you need to add higher rates. I charge 4.99 and 5.99 and don't think it's worth it for most girls to go below that. Regardless of if you offer HD/ audio etc. Charge what you need/ want to earn and not what you think you should.It's much easier to drop your rates slightly if you really feel you need to, than to up them once your customers are already used to your cheap rate.

    I have signed up to streamate but haven't really done anything with it yet. But, if I were to make the same per minute after cut as I do at AW, I would need to charge $7.80 (worked it out today). Not sure it's worth it...

    Vlodina, that's exactly what *I* did. I was on a site before, where I got 50%, so I reasoned that I wanted to set my rates on SM high enough that I'd be making the same per minute in pvt as I did on my old site. I thought it would be too expensive, and would never work. To my surprise, the high traffic on SM made it possible, and then some. A month after I started on SM, I raised my rate even HIGHER. Made no difference in my traffic... maybe it even INCREASED. :-)

    Give it a try... SM might surprise you.

    Back when I had first signed up with (a Streamate studio), in the e-mail where they give you suggestions, they had suggested starting out at $3.99/min for premium and $4.99/min for exclusive. I'm not with I.M. anymore (I'm on SM now, thank goodness!), but I may use the same prices for SM...not sure yet.

    I think even if you DON'T use HD, $3.99/$4.99 are still good rates to start with. When MyFreeCams was offering that HD feature, I never used it, but my cam (Logitech HD C910) and lighting still looked very good.

    And let's remember that SM only pays models 35% (Ouch!).

    Thanks Lusty for posting the link to the please stop being cheap thread!!! Though I'm with Katie - I actually charge higher than the poll options. Just got my maximum set to $10, and am bumping up to around $4.99 pvt and 5.99 exclusive. I'm just going to keep raising my price until it starts making me less money (because of less shows).

    Also - I disagree that is is difficult to start low and raise your price - that's what I have done, and not one person has ever commented on it.
    I take cash, debit or credit. I just don't take shit.
