    I think the point of the thread was to overall try to get as many girls to raise their prices so that it won't be "oh my god bb y u so expensive??" but it'll just be the NORM that we're worth that much and they'll just start accepting it so that overall, EVERYONE makes more money. That's just my two cents but like it's been stated before, it's a choice you have to make for yourself! I raised my rates to 5.99/6.99 but I don't have anything to report back yet, my encoder is still broken, lol.

    @ 6.99 and I will have show fairly regularly.

    But when I move the to 7.99 the shows like stop. They even stop at the 7.49

    guy will make comments about my price all day long at $7min but nothing at 6.99 they just take me

    I am wondering if 7 buck is too high for the average guy and to low of the rich guy.

    It IS high for them, but to make a decent cut that's what we have to do. That's why SM is so shitty and ideally girls would refuse to work there until the % is raised. It's not fair on the guys and it's not fair on the girls. 50% would be far more reasonable and allow flexibility in pricing.

    ^ I agree, Susie... I really wish SM paid a better percentage, I think there would be more money to be had overall for SM cuz more guys would spend their money. If I look at something and see it's only 3.99 vs.6.99, I'll buy the cheaper one, but then I'll also go buy something else, because I feel as though I haven't spent AS much money, and ideally probably spend even MORE that way, yanno?

    MFC daily pay being no more gave me the extra boost to get myself active again on SM. I logged into my model account earlier and added some new pictures. I realized that the max they have my premium and exclusive rate at is $4.99, and I'm gonna want those rates to be higher. I messaged SM about allowing me to raise my rates, but they'll probably wait 'til I start broadcasting again to approve my request, right?

    I want to encourage more exclusives than premiums, so I wanna make my premium rate way higher. I prefer the one-on-one exclusive shows.

    So I think once they get the request they'll push it through since it sounds like you already had your paperwork done. If they take more than 24-28 hours to bump it up, you should e-mail Vanessa.

    I'd be careful when suggesting this. It's called price fixing and is illegal.

    Yeah, I've cammed on SM before. It's just that I took a long hiatus from the site cuz it was pissing me off, but now I think I can get back on there with a better game plan. I emailed them about 2 hours ago, so I'm gonna check to see if they've updated it yet.

    Also, I'm gonna check to see if I have Vanessa's e-mail automatically stored in my Yahoo! Mail contacts. I'm assuming her e-mail is separate from SM model support, and the BEST person to reach? Thanks.


    EDIT: Nope, the max rates are still at $4.99/$4.99 for me, so they haven't gotten to it yet. I don't know Vanessa's e-mail, so I'm gonna try the search function on here to find it...so I'm not reading through 20 pages of this thread to get it...lol.

    YES! They changed it to $5.99: exclusive and $9.99: premium for me.

    So whenever you decide to raise your rate, you have to e-mail them, huh? You can't just use the drag-down menu and have higher options available? I can live with that. I'll just see how these rates work for me for now.

    Yep, anything over the standard $4.99 is e-mail needed, but I would so much rather e-mail than charge $4.99 lol. Glad they got yours changed so quick. Let us know how it goes!

    I do believe some people here really love to show off and they not charging as high as they say. Now i can go on with a conspiracy theory that some people will try to make others charge too high so they wont make money and members can go spend in their rooms actually. I can tell that the maximum i can charge and have traffic is 3.99 for premium and 4.99 exclusive on SM, if i go higher than that i wont make money anymore, i was trying around all prices/ combinations, i felt dissapointed and upset for not being able to make better money at higher prices "like all the others" around here. I am an average looking woman, classy and sexy but not a porn star type.
    Then i was watching the freechat of a top performer i admire a lot and i saw how members were bitching about her high prices, telling ARE U FUCKING MAD, U KIDDING, ARE U SERIOUS? She was charging over $10/min for premium on SM and everybody was pissed.
    And yes, in one hand people will say here "i do charge this and that" but sell themselves very short in Gold shows, like a dollar per 20 mins show or so?! Come on, this doesent make sense. Or maybe i dont see it, idk

    I am confused by your confusion. Pretty much every retailer there is has sales, why would doing GOLD shows at a cheaper rate be a bad thing if your regular per min rate is high? It figure I am pricing myself on a sliding scale so I can get money from EVERY custie.

    does it make sense that any super high celebrity actor is paid millions per movie..
    and we only pay $2.99 to see the movie 1 month later?

    same thing...........

    I can't speak for any other girl on SW, but if you want to send me a PM I will tell you exactly who I am on SM and you can check for youself that my prices are what I say they are.

    was this me? LOL
    they bitch at me all the time...
    ALL the time.. bhahah!!!
    and I love every minute of it
    and they still pay it.. not all of them...but who cares??
    if u do the actual real math on what u get versus what you spend in taxes, electric, food, the % the sites take, you cloths, makeup, EVERYTHING that you need to cam properly and what it takes to make u you feel good about yourself in THIS type of job, nothing seems enough anymore. NOt for me.
    Im selling kisses for $50 ... they tip $5 I tell them,, u need to send $45 more!! LOOL
    I seriously believe the better you feel about yourself,the more U feel like charging..
    Im a Queen. Are you not?


    and the cheap gold shows. thats just a marketing gimmick. dont let it fool you.....

    Doesent really matter how u feel about urself if others wont value u accordingly, not everybody have the same personality, mind set, resources, culture, confidence and all it takes to be successful in this industry, same like in any other work line some are more successful than others, if we all could be top smart, beautiful, fit, confident and such humanity wont be what it is now. We are different so everyone will succeed different.
    I dont know who you are Fridays (i wish i knew), i dont have to check people rooms (everybody could say i am this & that performer but give fake info), i just wanted to show another point of view as people here tend to be set on a specific way of thinking and ignore the rest of the world.
    Not everything apply to everybody in my eyes. Have peace.

    Gold shows with tons of guys are not the same product at all as personal interaction in a one on one show.

    Something I have noticed also is that gold shows can make guys buy privates right after because they want my full attention badly!

    This. ^^^

    If a gold show is booking at room at the Waldorf, exclusive is reserving the whole damn hotel for yourself for an entire weekend. :-)

    Same product? Yes? Maybe? Not at all?

    Have you ever heard of Groupon? Gold Shows are alot like that to me. Yes, you have a high-priced retail item that you can let customers buy at face value, but say it isn't selling as well as you'd like or you just need to pull in more customer interest... that's when you have the Gold Shows! You're pulling in a large volume of customers who might not have spent a dime otherwise and reaching a discernible goal instead of -hoping- these guys stay in private long enough to meet the goal in your head.

    I personally don't do Gold Shows anymore, they're a pain in the ass for me, but I've seen many performers who know how to work the crowd and reach their goal in no time! For those girls, utilizing the Gold Show option is amazingly lucrative!

    That has a very easy fix. You just have a secret 'password' and when you come into the room and say it to the performer they would message you and tell you that they know you from SW. Kind of the way they do it for the verified camgirl group.

    Businesses only mark down products that aren't selling well? They why do they put out coupons all the time for top-brand products. I mean, I doubt McDonald's is going out of business and every couple of months I get a coupon books from them.

    Edited to add: I have even seen coupons for a product right in front of the product that is selling at the store which pretty much is the example that you say never happens.
