    A ton of bitching and moaning throw in a bunch of insults and there's my weekend! Not giving up. A reg who was paying 3.99/4.99 before said he was glad to pay a couple more dollars more to be with his favorite gal.

    ETA: I'm over 30, I'm not a cheap commodity. I will hold out. Disgruntled with 30+ gals, minority cam girls (Sorry ladies I don't know how to say it and not offend anyone.) BBW's saying we are not worth it. As women we devalue ourselves when we go lower IMO when will it end? Stop it now!!!! STOP IT! We deserve more!!!!

    I've been raising my rates 20 cents a week. I still do a once a week "special" with lower premium rates on SM but I'll never drop my exclusive rate. I charge the max on IMlive and somewhere middle of the road for CB.

    I have been @ 3.99/5.99 on SM for a while. I tried 4.99 for prvt for a while, but didn't get many hits. But it's been slow for me and I decided to try $4.99/6.99 this week. So far I've gotten 2 nice exclusives!

    I apologize if this offends anyone, but I am trying to point out that I think there are very different hustles for niche vs non-niche models.

    For those who don't meet the typical vanilla category of the young slim VS type camgirl, it actually makes MORE sense to charge higher rates. As I was saying before, you rely on fewer guys which is what being in a niche is about. If you charge low, you have to depend on mass appeal to make big money everyday. But not everyone has that "mass appeal" look, so it doesn't work. And the whole allure of the niche is it is unusual. So if anyone should raise their rates, it's the niche camgirls or camgirls who deviate from the norm because then you capitalize more on a small group of customers who are addicted to your niche/what you have to offer.

    This is how pricing norms change everyone. I forsee a beautiful future where 6+/min shows are the norm on SM and we are all diving into cash vaults like Scrooge McDuck.

    I guess i do appeal to the mass crowd and it kinda pisses me off but it also depends on what day/time when i can charge what in reg priv

    I have the hardest at night (est) If Im higher than 499 I do not get shows
    When I drop my price I do get shows and multiple at once so its a not a 499 avg. I go off monetary not how many ppl are in my open chat

    I do not have patience for long free chat
    I will work it , np,
    I will not live in it

    Exclusives I set tonight at 3 xs my priv and landed exclusives. My exclusive guys dont flinch.

    This is always the case ... for me

    Good point Tempting....I actually had more exclusives last week when my prices were at 4.99/6.99 as opposed to testing 5.99/6.99 for the past 2 days.funny how that works.

    Wouldn't that be wonderful? I don't judge because I cannot tell models what to charge but the sad truth is, many girls who don't meet the typical vanilla category DON'T charge more. They charge lower than 'a dime a dozen' type of girls. No shade here but I'm gonna speak the truth and shame the devil!

    Im not sure what to think about the niche girls who charge cheap rates. Maybe it has to do with confidence and fear. Thats a very difficult thing to overcome if you're susceptible to other people deciding your worth. You know the people who say that Ebonies she charge this and BBW's should charge that. If one believes that mess then you get stuck. Me...I'm stubborn and extremely arrogant. I increased my rates twice this week. First two days I got nothing. But then I got pissed and raised them again. The money came rolling in. Maybe it was just a two day slump but it appears to have worked. I also increased all of my clips on c4s by $2. I make money daily there. So guess what that's like an extra $30 a day right there. Just from a price increase. It definitely adds up. For free chat I'm still relatively new to it. Not a stranger but have never kept with it for this long. I think it's important to start how you want to finish. I've been told that my entire life. I really wish I had stayed at the prices I had when I first joined instead of lowering them and now increasing them again. It's working out though. I make exactly what I want to make and try to use my arrogance to make money. I want them to think they can't afford me so when they decide to "Treat Themselves" they remember me and come play. As long as I have at least two of those guys coming back every day then I am set. Those bottom feeders can kick rocks.

    Im happy with my paychecks and my weeks raise by themselves.

    I know when I can hustle the prices.

    At night I have more American based clientele .... at night is when I have issues. hmm

    Im not a niche or a fetish by any means. I am me and if it comes off that way, Im def not out of character. What you see on cam is what ppl see in person all day for free. I dont go out of my way for cam , they either like me or they do not.
    I can not and will not sit in free chat, that is 0 money.

    For my skype shows I do nothing for less than $30. If I scout them out from my own efforts I use my own merchant account where I get 85%. This is where I hope all of my customers end up eventually. If I use a platform its usually about 75%. It varies. Sometimes I won't log into free chat sites for awhile on purpose in hopes that they will hunt me down on skype or twitter. At that point I convert them to my preferred method of payment. I really don't want to say what I consider cheap prices to be because I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. I will say that last week I was charging $3.99/4.99 a minute and felt I needed to step it up...so I did. Many of my free chat site guys seek me out offsite and realize that they can save money by buying shows from me that way. But I do not dare solicit them while in free chat. I just turn them on and then walk away when they don't show me the money.

    Slow as hell tonight and kept getting disconnected, but I logged on. Raised my rates to $5.99/$7.99. I'm happy with it, at least I braved the trolls and made a couple bucks. To me it's worth it.

    When I first started SM I was at 2.99/4.49. I could stay on for more then two hours at a time, I would be so tired and screaming for a shower.

    I raised it to 3.99/4.99 after the first week and I'm still tired and screaming after two hours but at least I have extra $$ in the same amount of time. Plus I noticed that when I raised my rates I got more ratings too, when I was at my old rates only1 out of every 10 guys would rate me now its more like 5. Am I the only one who noticed this?

    Raising my rates again! I'm just in a slump right now and not much wanting to work, so I'm going to try $5.99/$7.99 again for a while. After seeing that I do much better with a higher price on the new rate analysis on SM I've decided to try this price. *Fingers Crossed*

    Default Re: Raise Your Rates - Challenge!

    I wanted to have your advice about the pricing. I know it sounds a bit silly but do you think its better to start a bit cheaper and slowly but regularly move your prices up? Or is it better to start from a decent rate directly? I start to work on a couple of new sites where no one knows me and I ll have to build my fanbase and raitings, but I ve been camming for some time on few other platforms, so its not like Im new and dont know what Im doing. But this sites are new, plus Im coming back after a long break, if I start too high Im afraid to not have anyone, if I start too low Im afraid to have lots of cheapsters that wont follow me when I change my prices, so I basically will have to start over again. I was planning to start at 2,49~2,99 (private) and 3,49~3,99 (exclusive) on SM but with their cut it seems too low, I have this price on two other sites where I get 50% and was planning to move it after a couple of months.
    What can you say from your experience? Is it hard to raise your prices after some time? I know I ve recently raised them for 0,50 cents (!) on one site and one my regulars there said that he couldnt come see me anymore cause it was too exp for him (I didnt change them back of course). But still, it freaked me out.

    I would start out at higher rates so you can build regulars that will pay that rate. If you are scared to go too high, just make 4.99 your minimum and play around with your pricing but don't go lower.

    I would also like to point out that I have been getting 5 star ratings exclusively since I upped my prices. Something magical happens when you raise them, I don't even understand it.

    I totally agree with Charlotte; if you start out low you are building the wrong clientbase if you eventually want to go higher in the future.

    I just checked my rate analysis, and was really suprised to see that my raise payed out more. I thought I went downhill, I think because I am in free chat more, but the analysis shows me I am doing better. So iam keeping up with the 8.99/10.99 and keep checking the analysis
