    I tried dropping my rates a bit as an experiment (by 1 dollar). I made 5$ more per hour on avg, but I also had a greater percentage of shitlords in my shows and guys who either couldn't read my profile or didn't care to.

    Higher rates=fewer dickbags, I swear.

    Done and done (5.54/6.54). It is a luxury. Plus a girl with the respect for herself to raise her rates also will probably put on a better show. I am one of those girls guilty of the "Aww they don't even want me for one dollar" mindset, but the real truth of the matter is the guys who would only pay 1G for a show aren't the type of guys who stick around for a show. Or come back. I've got the POWAAA!

    I have only 2 months on sm but it seems I can't make more than 400$/week .In the last 3 weeks sm went so bad that i barely made over 250$/week.
    I have 3,34/4,99 rates and I was thinking they may be too high for a new girl?
    It's annoying that my room is always empty even i have an intel core i7 system/i use the encoder/i have good internet conncetion/good lights/professional pictures/i use sound (even i only type and talk at request).I work about 6 hours/night (8 with pause).I am not ugly,i am only 21 yrs,i am a thin person even i got a bit of belly,hips and cellulite (i am working on it to get rid of them..).
    Members just go in and out of the room.

    I would really need an oppinion from you girls.It's simply annoying to stay and stare at an emtpy room...

    My job satisfaction's been low lately, so I've raised my rates to 5.99/9.99 on SM + 5.80 on IML and will be flat out ignoring a lot more people in my room now. Thinking I want to be at 11.99/14.99 in 2 months.

    4 questions max, guests don't exist, tip if you want me to show anything/move, take me private if you want an interview. No more gold shows, either, unless I'm bored as fuck. TBH I don't even care if my earnings go down a bit... I just don't have the patience to do anything for free or less than two bucks a minute anymore. Will report back on how that goes.

    I'm actually gonna try something different for a little while. I'm lowering my private rate by $1 (to $3.99) and doing mainly strip shows and ass worship with NO masturbation. I'm setting my exclusive to $5.99 with hopes that most people will now choose that option to get a full xxx show with all the bells and whistles. So although I'm lowering my prices, I'm hoping to make more total. It will make my life a bit easier and will save me from getting sore quickly...also the peepers won't get to see as much since I won't be masturbating in group shows any longer. We'll see how it goes!

    Yeah I dropped My premium rate to 5.99 but still keeping exclusive at 9.99 because that's for VIP gentleman anyways. I find oddly that when I out prior are anything above 5.99 business halts for Me but exclusive can be higher and it doesn't so odd but whatever works

    RAISE, RAISE, RAISE!!!!!

    really i am all for what makes the most $ but, i went from $6.99 to $5.99 a min, to see if i could keep busier (to stay online longer) and have multiple guys in pvt (to make more).

    I still did okay, but omg the difference in the guys tho! i just get so much more polite guys, and guys that stay much longer when im more expensive.
    (wanted to add i tried it for a whole week- so gave it a fair chance...and still only did okay compared)

    So crazy that I do better charging more...yet I am still nervous to go to $7.99 a min...ahhh i know i can always change back....and im limiting myself because i might be able to make more if a raise more. promising myself to try it one day this week

    ^ Dooo it h0ttie!! I was at 5.99/7.99 (used to be higher but I changed it back on a slow day). I finally changed it back to 7.99/8.99 and my hourly has gone up. At least try itt

    I've always made more with those rates so I'm not sure why I lowered them for so long. I had one slow day and lowered them and it took me like 5 months to change them back lol. I think I was scared to for some reason.

    Good. I just read your previous post where you thought 3.34 and 4.99 were too high for a new model, and I was about to tell you NO WAY, they're not too high! Even a Streamate studio I used to cam with used to recommend that new models start out with 3.99 and 4.99. So yeah, I definitely don't think you should go lower than that. If anything, go higher. Good luck!

    The moment before raising and the moment right after is always the hardest part. just do it and see how it works out! With raising my prices it has always been followed with a higher payout for me. It feels great to have that first buyer at your new rate, doesnt it, just keep that in mind and how awesome it will feel and how happy you will be with your custies and in return they will sense your enthousiasme and will love your shows! =)
    I am at 7.99/9.99 for a year now and loving it.

    My daily time online is a little bit less but not by much. I feel like I do spend more time in free chat (well it feels that way) because it takes longer to get a show but the guys buy longer shows at higher rates, so it all evens out.

    ya, that is the same advice i tell other ppl...just try it!! lol
    idk what it is about it that makes it seem scary....
    i have tried really high ones...but just more like for fun, and to see if i could get lucky- not an actual whole work day or longer.
    it is a great feeling when u have a super high rate, and to see how quick the $$ adds up

    i have been 6.99 pvt /7.99-9.99 excl for a yr (besides my experiment) so i guess im ready for the raise

    congrats on doing well at ur high prices!!

    Actually... I used to be all over this raise your rates thing until it got to be super bad for me on SM. I went back down to $3.99/min pvt and $7.99/min excl (was at 4.99/9.99) and I'm making A LOT more at $3.99. I am getting much longer privates and more multiple guys staying for longer periods of time. And honestly I haven't noticed the quality of guys going down at all. They seem the same for me, but I never really got a lot of the super jerks to begin with, 95% of the people that take me private are decent to me.

    This is my theory, maybe it's wrong but maybe it's not. I came to this conclusion by surfing "customer" type forums and seeing what guys are saying about cam sites and cam girls in general:

    Traffic has slowed for many people on Streamate. Even if you check the stats for the site you can clearly see a drastic drop off starting Jan 2014. There's probably lots of reasons why this is, but I think one reason might be that Streamate has THE highest prices of any other paid cam site. They are actually encouraging us to raise our rates to very high amounts per minute. This leaves the average Joe with the choice of girls who he might not think are as desirable at lower prices, or gold shows. Maybe he doesn't like gold shows. Maybe he still wants the personal interaction. So that means, if he can't afford the high prices that most people on the first couple pages of Streamate have, then he's going to go to a different site. Most sites cap their rates at $4.99/min which is considered to be pretty high. So, could it be that part of the reason we are not seeing as many paying customers is because they simply can't afford a private on Streamate anymore? It's possible. My other sites I have kept at $3.99/min lately and I'm starting to become much busier on there, and still not seeing many super jerks.

    I don't doubt there are still people who can charge really high rates. This is just my observation. I use to easily charge $5.99 to $6.99 and now I might go an entire hour at $5.99 with NO privates. If I'm not busy, I log off because I just can't stand it. So for me to be at $3.99 and stay busy definitely makes me more money per hour and more money overall. There's nothing wrong with lowering your rates to stay busy or to be able to compete with the dirt cheap gold shows. It has no reflection on your worth as a person or a performer.

    Funny I was looking back at when I started back on Streamate in June 2011. I started at $2.99/min and for months I was easily making $500-600 in about 4 hours online!!! I would so go back to $2.99/min if I thought I could pull that off as effortlessly as I did back then. But, sadly I don't think the traffic is there anymore. Those were some good days!

    Okay I'm done. I just wanted to throw that in so that others don't feel ashamed or bad for lowering rates. You have to do what you have to do.

    Yes, I agree Rosemary. Experiment and charge what makes you the most per hour! I think the title is sort of misleading because I don't think anyone's is intention is to say "raise your rates ... Or else."

    I guess it depends on who you ask and which makes you more in the end?

    Right now, for me, charging less per minute makes me more per hour.

    I totally agree as well, charge what makes you the most.

    It used to be this "thing" with like "you're worth so much more than that" etc. etc. etc. and I love Fridays to death (she started the "stop being cheap" thing), but the "raise your rates" thing made a lot of people feel bad or feel "less" for charging less. Who cares what you charge if you're happy and you're making what you want to be making?

    yes i will always say do what makes you the most $$!!!

    but, for me ....when i get pvts at lower prices...they are like hey show me ur boobs, hey put a toy in ur pussy ..ok i came bye lol...
    or multiple ppl..one saying feet!! the other wanting anal, one wanting to be dominated, and 1 wanting to know how to send his webcam.
