    A guy webcam model came into my room the other day. The conversation led a certain direction where I said that cheap whores are the reason the adult industry has a bad name/is failing, and he ended up saying that he charged $0.99/1.99. I'm like, you seriously need to raise your rates, you're short changing yourself. The person (who I now know is a guy) replies "I'm in private all night because I refuse to talk to people unless they take me private." While I can understand the whole don't converse in free chat thing, this guy was a COMPLETE asshole about it. I personally would never spend a $1 a minute just to sit in private with someone talking. I don't know how he makes a living out of it.

    Yeah you could do away with the 'cheap whores' bit. No need to degrade people. Maybe you came off rude to him so he responded shortly to someone telling him what to do?

    And this has been stressed: If it works for him - GOOD. If you want to raise your rates and it makes you more money - GOOD.

    I probaby spend about 60% of my time on cam on any given day having conversations (being paid, I don't work free chat sites). There is a huge market for that, as many chicas here know well

    I personally think $1 per min is too low for what my time is worth, but judging people for doing what works for them, if it works for them, is pointless

    +1 Hayden on your comments to that. To the vanilla world we're all the same no matter what we charge, so slagging each other doesn't serve any of our interests.

    I didn't mean to come off as rude, it's just a strange concept to me running 0.99 a minute privates when it's constantly stressed to have higher rates. :p

    You know what I think is rude? Him even coming into your room, if he's not going to take you private. I mean, what's the point?!

    As crazy as it sounds, getting a vanilla job was the best thing I did.
    Now, I know at very least my bills are paid. Camming is now my "filler" income..and I've noticed myself pricing everything way higher. BECAUSE when it was all my income I'd get desperate because I need the money. I figured, like everyone who has ever gone shopping ever, lower prices=more buys. But in camming it isn't like that. It's not retail.
    I went from selling a 10 minute solo play video for $30 up to $50. My general system is $5/min for videos with nudity or very fetished, if it ends up being over 20 minutes I then do the rest by $2 a min. And I've been selling videos like crazy!
    Also, having a part time job on the side got me out of the house more, gave me more self worth (I've been working there 2 and a half months and already being promoted!), and best yet made camming/clip selling entertainment not just the job. I was a theater geek all through middle and high school if there is one thing I learned it is that you have to be entertain to entertain.
    I work a site when I'm editing/uploading videos that starts at $1 a min for group/topless (can be changed but I leave it since most guys just want to chat to get to know me since I am new) and I'm changing my private rate from $3 a min to $4 without batting an eyelash.
    I am quite content.
    ^_^

    Raised my prices from 4.49/4.99 to 5.99/6.99 on SM... But... Comcast shut off my internet, because I didn't pay the bill. So I can't test it out until my boyfriend gets paid friday. BOO!! I wanted to see what would happen, lol. If it doesn't go completely awful, it'll continue to creep up and up and up...

    I raised my rates today to 9.99/9.99 and was in back to back privates all day.

    I couldn't believe it! I am usually waiting forever for a private at the lower rate.

    In my party chat, I set up a topic that includes a flash for a gold. I did that to weed out the freeloaders and it works! I was so tired of guys asking me to flash and I would just say gold and they leave. haha. But some guys would throw $3 or $5 for a flash.

    Do you girls do something like that?

    How much gold do you charge for a flash, CurvyWinona? I thought about doing that but wasn't sure how much to charge.. Don't we only keep 30% of the Gold?

    Hmm, I think I I'm going to try this. I think I'm on enough podcasts and such to ask for a higher per min scale. If guys complain that I'm too fat or not nude...oh well.

    Some girls charge $5 GOLD for a flash...some charge $10...some don't flash in free chat, etc.

    If it was me, I'd charge at least $5 GOLD for a flash.

    On SM you're not supposed to show below the waist nudity in free chat. For some reason, I've seen SM models naked and covering their pussy with their hand, but then when they turn around they show their bare ass completely. Bare ass with no panties on still qualifies as below the waist nudity...

    I've even seen an Ebony model do naked ass claps in free chat (no panties on) and then saying "Tip me, guys" SEVERAL times, and getting mad at the guys in her room who are content with the free naked ass clap show they're getting...lol.

    What about 7.99/min to sit in pvt with someone talking? Because I have quite a few regulars who do just that. And I know quite a few non nude girls who make their living this way.

    Just because you wouldn't do it, doesn't make it "bad" for anyone else to do it. Maybe this guy prefers to be busy? Not to mention, it's A LOT harder for guys to make money on cam, they can't really charge the rates that female webcam performers can.

    I would love to raise my rates again but I don't think guys would go for it. I only work 1 per min site (AW) which traffic has not been great there recently so I fear raising my rates... and the rest of my sites/indy stuff are pre-pay blocks of time. When I tell them $4/min half of them stop talking to me any way. I don't understand why it's harder to get dudes to pay more off of a per min site than thru skype etc. Especially when girls on SM and MFC are charging more than that on average. Someone told me the regular for girls he gets skype shows from off MFC is starting to average upwards of $10/min. Any of you ladies wanna speak out and confirm this?

    Bottom line is I put on badass shows and would love to keep increasing my price as time goes by until I'm making $10/min every day lol.

    Maybe I'd have a better chance working MFC for a while just to pull in a bigger fan base and then it'll happen more smoothly? I'm just sooo not a free cam girl, it's never been my style... Hrm..

    I do the exact same show I've always done, but slower. I am not offering anything that I wasn't offering before at $5.99/minute.

    Yes, now that I charge 'pricey', I HAVE in fact changed my shows. I now wear more expensive outfits in them. ;-)

    I'm curious if lower rates have worked for others? When I first started out camming, years ago, I was always busy and I had lower rates. I wonder if I should lower mine some...
