    Yeah, I type too much sometimes. Usually when I've been spending hours thinking about and analyzing camming and how to improve.

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!
    I totally agree with you Sarah! Just wanna throw that in there...what you said makes perfect sense!
    Also an update on my price decrease...it's been much easier to make my goals with my prices lower. I'm digging the way I'm doing masturbation in exclusive only! I haven't been getting a lot of exclusives lately...which leads me to believe most of the guys either can't afford it or are just trying to save money by choosing the cheaper show. Either way, I'm making my goals and most days don't have to masturbate at all! Win win WIN

    LMFAO. That's soooo true omg.

Then one of them gets butthurt and rates me a 1.

    And yeah, my experience has been the same as yours. Much longer shows and less demanding guys.

    I'm probably too strict. I would tell all those guys to go exclusive. I tend to act like I have no clue what they are asking and ignore it, unless they ask over and over then I eventually do some of it or tell them to do exclusive. I pretty much do my own thing in private and don't take requests. Luckily have I haven't received too many bad ratings over it. *knock on wood*

    I have lowered my rate, as Sarah did, to $3.99. My excusive was lowered to $5.99. It pissed me off to do it, but last month was an odd time on SM. I ended up making lots more than I anticipated.
    Lately, I'm irritated by the peepers, so I did something I have done in the past, and that is to 'reverse' my rates- i.e. Exclusive-$3.99, and premium-$5.99.
    Works great!
    I would raise my rates, and just leave them, but I don't have very much patience being in free chat anymore, and I need to make every moment that I'm online count, as i work quite a few sites now, and already feel spread way to thin as it is.

    I would totally charge 2.99 if there were enough guys paying at once to support it. As it stands though, whenever I experiment with lowering my rates, I don't end up getting many more privates, and I can only go so low before it's not worth it anymore. At a certain point, making only x amount of money per minute is worth it only if I am putting on a completely different type of show - one that requires far less energy, creativity, and foresight. It's kind of interesting to weigh the benefits of offering a special niche/highly personalized/highly attentive service on one site at a time for a higher price per minute vs focusing on hustling multiple sites at a lower price per minute and potentially putting less energy/personalization into the shows (not trying to suggest this is how anybody here hustles multiple sites, that's just how it would end up for me considering my personal circumstances).

    Sarah, I was wondering how LJ has been treating you - at the very least in terms of professionalism, level of abusiveness among members and payments made on time? I do well on Streamate on a "normal" day, and kinda want to try LJ just for shits and giggles but I've heard so many horror stories including there being some notorious stalker guy on there? Do you feel pretty comfortable with LJ having your info?

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!

    Regarding types of shows - yah I am super vanilla and strictly do very vanilla stuff in private. Everything beyond getting naked and playing with small toys is saved for exclusive. I couldn't imagine doing specialized shows at a lower rate! Maybe that's why the lower rate works for me right now? Definitely a lot to consider though.

    LJ - Honestly I really enjoy the site. I do get a lot more guys on there expecting to see ass or stand up or do this or that in free chat but I believe it's because they don't focus on tipping there at all. I always ask for a tip anyway and they either do it or don't. I have seen paying traffic pick up there quite a bit from when I first started, but it might be because I'm pregnant now and I find there's a lot of preggo lovers there. In terms of professionalism the people who run the site have been nothing but nice and polite to me. They always answer my questions/issues quickly either with support email or live support chat. I've never had an admin come into my room and tell me I'm doing something wrong like others have mentioned. I've always been paid on time or earlier than the schedule says. Never had issues with super abusive members or stalkers. I have no issue with the site having access to my personal info. Overall, I like it there.
    xoxo ~ Sarah

    I would work one site if traffic was good enough for me to make money from it. then I could raise my rates back up to $7.99- $9.99. it is what it is.

    I wish girls on indy sites would charge more. I get so many guys who think my $3 a minute is sooo expensive because a girl he just had a show with charged $1-2 a minute.

    I was honestly really surprised at how low the rates are on CMD. I expected them to be a lot higher. I guess you get a higher percentage though, so maybe that's why they are low?

    I really hate that. I see that trend everywhere. Rates should be the same wherever you are, and it's a shame it doesn't really work that way because so many underprice.

    It takes away the whole point of working a lower traffic site for more percent.

    I agree. If I charged what is typically seen on CMD, I'd be making less per minute then what I make on SM. So unless I was focused on doing many indy shows over the course of the day, it's not worth it. Not if it pulls me away from a site where I make more.

    I do offer a lower rate to people who find me through twitter, c4s, or wherever, and not only does it costs less for them, I still make more per minute then on SM. Keeping a higher percent makes such a huge difference.

    agree!! i would be all over indy if i could get away charging near what i charge on sm and keeping most of it!!!
    but it would basically even out that i would make the same....so i just dont really see the point

    keeping with the raise ur rates topic tho
    i just wanted to say at a higher rate i get many more tips...even things like 2-5 dollar gold after a show to b polite...the quality of guys is just sooo much better for me.

    I just raised my rates back to where they were, after sitting in free chat for most of the day yesterday, with same cheap guys in my chat.. I'm glad to say, the guys that are coming in are new, and paying.
    I'm also going to go back to regular 'chat, instead of 'party chat'. It is better, IMO, and weeds out the 'hecklers', and freeloaders.(Most of the time).

    What a difference a buck makes. I put it back to 6.99 and 9.99. I hate that sometimes I sit longer and some.of them do bitch about rates but the guys who do pay stay longer and I enjoy performing for. It's a whole different client than when you're cheaper. I alway good thing I'm tall so I can reach the top shelf. I also hate to say it bit of they complain about your rate chances are they aren't gonna spend anyway. Yes I also agree no party chat get the guys who want to spend $500 not $5

    i have my rates set at 5.99 (which im comfortable with and happy at the moment) and I get some complainers *too expensive* but although I get short privates, those short privates add up and make decent hourly. I can't imgaine if i had it set at 4.99 or less, that would mean i'd have to work extra hard and it'd tire me out faster and the "short privates" would not be worth it. I'm a curvy girl too. I had long privates w a couple of guys and I was like yaaaay hehe.

    Another reason to raise prices, is the frequency of the customer's disconnect, and site glitches.
    If I'm only charging a low rate, I then have to be thrown back into free chat, and hope for another prvt./excl.
    Plus, when a guy takes me excl., and tries to turn on his cam right away, without even saying 'hello', I know he's ready to cum, and will only be there about a minute, or less.
    It's just the nature of the business, and how technology is not 100% (working), all the time.
    One thing I have noticed since mobile devices were introduced, is more customers getting disconnected when they do shows. At least that's what they are telling me.
    I do tend to believe them, because they get disconnected from my voyeur shows a lot, and I notice, that they pop back in over and over in a 15 minute span.
