    WOW i wish i had the courage to up my rates, i work for LJ and everyone is 1.99 there except for some and an even smaller group are 4.99 i think as i get higher on pages i will raise my rates higher little by little .Ive been there 6 months. maybe 2.49 from 1.99... Wish me luck i hear lj is a battlefield to get onto the top page but hey i already made it to the top ten and the other girls around me have more ratings and less stars!!

    I've been toying with the idea of raising my rates for a couple weeks now, but I'm so worried that business is going to plummet. I normally charge 4.99/5.99, and it's been working just fine- no one's complained about it being too expensive so far- but I think I might take a drastic leap and tweak it up to 5.99/6.99. Wish me luck!

    I'm gonna do the same thing I made more when I raised from 4.49/4.99 to 4.99/5.99. This month I'm gonna change to 5.99/6.99 too. Good luck.

    Would the guys be mad if I gradually raise my rates? This month I'm getting an i7 and better cam so I'm going to 5.99/6.99. But I want to raise to 6.99/7.99 in October I figure by then I'll squat myself to a nice plump ass. In Jan I'm getting a breast lift so I want to charge 7.99/8.99. I was wondering would I be better off charging 5.99/6.99 until I get the lift? or just gradually increase it between then.

    I'm scared they might think I'm yoyoing prices too much. Each increase won't be without an upgrade though.

    If any guy is mad at the rate change, they probably can't afford you. Quality over quantity, right?
    I say if you want your end goal to be 7.99/8.99, go for it! Worst case scenario, it doesn't work out. Aaaaaand if that happens, you can always lower it down to the 5.99/6.99 and work your way back up to the 7.99/8.99. Either way, it'll be an increase!

    Raised mine today to 7.04 pvt and 8.09 excl. Have heard all kinds of grief over it in my room.

    It was basically a 10 cent raise for both.

    Strange thing is Sophie that sometimes it doesnt work to add only 10cent better try 1 dollar instead. I know it doesnt make sense, didnt to me neither.. but for example I made more asking 7.99 than over 4.99 <- brought me nothing. So dont worry if a price doesnt work out, it doesnt mean you cannot go higher.
    I always upped my prices with a whole dollar, maybe try that too?
    Also stick wit them for a while, what you are getting right now are guys who are used to your old prices, you will build up new clientele who enjoy you at your new one. Better build up a higher paying clentbase sooner than later right? You can always go back if it doesnt work out in the long run, but dont give up yet, you will have to make them feel like they either pay a bit more or they will loose out on a Awesome model. Offcourse if you ahve the patrience, and if you can afford to give it a try- if you are in need of money next day I know it is stressfull and thats why it prob doesnt work out, they can sense that kind of thing. Try to feel comfortable with your price and say it over na dove rto youreself that you are worth it and that you will get tehre asses inthat pvtroom

    PS I always did a 1 dollar raise since it is worth it too me to deal with their whiney asses and getting my ass in gear to make some new clients. Make it worth it to work and hustle your ass off again. Own that new price. You can do it, I am sure of it.... In the beginning I thought I could NEVER go higher than 4.99 since I didnt get one single pvt with that price for days. Than I tried out vene higher prices, since I was out of my mind obviously XD but that did work.. I coudnt wrap my head around it.

    I raise a whole dollar, too. .40 extra won't make a big difference for me and it may looks funny to the custies. .99 is always a magic number. haha

    I'm at $4.99/$6.99 and been at these rates over a year. It got slow at a point and I started offering slightly discounted skypes and blocks to encourage spending and it got even slower. So went back to the $4.99/$6.99 and doing well at these prices. Thinking about raising them. I don't think my clients would even notice. I want WHALES not minnows!! I'm thinking $5.99/$6.99 to start then, $6.99/$7.99. How many months/weeks do you stay at the same price before you change?

    ^^ I'm also now at $4.99 and $6.99 and it seems to be working out...that $2 difference is like something magic, so many guys comment on how they think that excl will automatically be better cos its priced higher than pvt by a lot, so yeah, I'm always gonna keep a $2 difference.

    Hmmmm... I'm not entirely certain about that but am curious. Thought I'd be sneaky and raise the pvt to 5.99 since some of my true pvt guys get cheap and downgrade to pvt. Thought this might be a way to just encourage them to go true pvt. You see my thinking? Have to tried the $1 difference, Simone?

    This post inspired me to start off with higher prices! I just started streaming on SM today. I originally planned to have both rates set fairly low to attract a lot of customers, but now I've decided against that. I started today with my rates at $3.99/$5.49. I was online for almost two hours and got three premiums for 5 minutes, 6 minutes, and 20 minutes. I'm happy with that for my first time, but I've decided to raise my rates even more. Now $4.49/$5.99, we'll see how that goes tonight.

    I never change my exclusive rate (at $9.99) because slow days like we are having lately can save my ass. Today was so slow but this guy came in room and took me to exclusive out of nowhere! I reserve my exclusive for hard shows or for guys who have money. Do not be afraid to crank up your exclusive rates to much higher!

    Thank you for that info. I have always had my exclusive rate $2 higher then private on SM. I am not sure why I would limit my exclusive to only @2 higher. It is now $4 higher then private :0) It just never occurred to me, creature of habit I think. And for the things I do in Exclusive, uhm...yea that should be really $$$$$
    Thanks for jarring my brain and for your post.

    UPDATE: I had more exclusives and they were longer. I had several exclusive that didn't want me to get naked. This really was the best monetary day I have ever had on cam and it seemed effortless. Besides, it is my 2 year camerversay so i thought I had worked hard enough to deserve a raise tee-hee.

    I've been at $4.99/$5.99 for years and just a couple weeks ago bumped up me Exc. to $6.99. In the past I've raised my rates but as soon as I stated to slow down I chickened out and lowered them again but this time I stuck to my guns and left it and it's really starting to pay off. In October I'm getting my boobs redone and I'll hike up my Exc. again to $7.99. I've also decided that for the week of my New Boob Debue I'm having GS's all week with $25 buy in. Those babies are gonna be expensive need to make every cent I can off them before the novelty wears off.

    Wow! I feel like I am charging WAY too little! I work on Live Jasmin and most of the ladies there are charging 1.99 per minute and I'm at the high end of 2.99 per minute and doing well. I fear raising my rates because I'll be higher than most, AND those gorgeous, young, perfectly annoying (And often very slutty acting) Russian ladies are all at 1.99.

    I'm an older cammie, very attractive at 49 and popular since coming on the "Air". I could always experiment and then drop my rates if it backfires because at LJ, we start our 2 week pay period at 30% commission and work on a level dependent system. By the end, so far I have managed to get to 45% comm, but it's usually only for the last couple of days of the pay period and then I have to start back at 30 again.

    Advice or experience is very welcomed.

    Thanks! Fiona

    Glad to report that I'm still at 6.49/8.49 after about two weeks. For the most part I'm making more, although I still have some shitty days (don't we all!). No important regulars mentioned the increase. Only one person mentioned it, a guy who did a very short show ages ago. So girls, DO IT!!

    I have a brand new SM account (used to be on there under the Vivid studio). It was my first camsite and I really had no hustle and did WAY too much for not enough $$$. It's almost 2 years later and I do know what I'm doing and am excited to give it another go. I'm thinking about starting out at either $5.99/$7,99 or $6.99/$8/99 or $4.99/$9.99. Might try each combo for a 4 hour shift and compare results since they have that rate analysis feature... Feeling very thankful for this opportunity to start fresh with so much more knowledge and experience!
