    There is so little traffic on streamate right now and even less paying traffic I cant imagin raising my rates again. I raised them last fall and it was all great up until around thanksgiving and then it tanked. Did not recover from the holidays... those were slow, then january was slow and I really thought february would be different and its been awful.

    THANKS sexysusie my thought exactly, for a lot of girls it hard to take the step to raise them. Lets use this thread as encouragement! I knwo it helped me out to climb up to my 9.99pvt/16.99excl. and i started out at 2.99/4.99. Without this thread I would still be working my ass off, having backpains for A LOT less money

    I'm already at a point where I'm not making any money. I wish I had the courage to raise them more! I'm not saying other girls shouldn't. But I just don't think it's going to work for me right now. It sucks.

    Same here but last week they paid my higher rates w.o a problem so it must be this week.

    I love fiddling with my prices & have $9.99 exclusive & $14.99 private. I don't actually think I've done a private since and I do like the peace & quiet from the peepers.

    It's easier to not get so emotionally attached to any of your eggs when you have a basket full. If a site wants to give me 30% then unfortunately one's rates will simply have to be adjusted to take this into account.

    You would be surprised! There as a point where I wasn't either and I had no option but to raise my rates and it's the best thing I have ever done. Now I am at 4.99 prem and 6.99 excl make good money at that but was thinking of increasing again but not sure.

    Do it I've raised mine on AW too although I feel I was already quite high priced. Kdb is right about being more confident when you have more avenues - try raising your rates while split camming then you won't have to be so reliant on just one site and worrying about your rates putting off customers. You'll be pleasantly surprised x

    I just got the email saying my rates have been raised, so maybe I'll raise them for the first time. I'm at 5.99 for prem, 3.74 for exc. I've only been camming a month though.

    I'm soon to be joining streamate and I have absolutely no idea what rates to charge. Do you guys think that as a newby on there I would be able to charge 8.99 exclusive and 11.99 private as a newby? I'm a Dominatrix so I also won't be doing any toy shows etc I am soon to start split camming and once I start then I'll be upping my rates on adultwork as the split camming will give me a bit of a safety net if I end up not getting any shows due to my rates going up.

    Thanks in advance for anyone that replies. Xxx

    I agree with sexysusie.
    Your pre-set prices won't go up that high from the start (I think 4.99 is the max); you can can contact streamate support ([email protected] or http://www.streamatemodels.com/contact/ when b eing logged in) and aks them to raise the prices for you.
    May be that it will be a bit harder and slower at the start, but after a while when you made regs you will be happy you started out high and sticked with it.

    Thanks for that. I'm OK with starting off a bit slow and playing the long game. I will definatly contact them to raise the rates. No way will I cam for 4.99 a min with getting just 30%. Once that converts to pounds sterling that will be waaaay too low at about £1. Thanks ever so much. Xxx

    SM also naturally raises your rate cap...like once you've worked X amount of hours at a certain rate you get that raise. Its pretty easy to get out of your first $5.99 cap, you just need to be working very consistently and hustling pvts. I think it took them a month to raise mine when I first joined.

    That makes sense, even though I've been neither consistent or hustling.

    My price cap is $19.99 which gives me itchy fingers....

    I LOVE THIS THREAD!

    I have been burnt out for a while & while I miss camming I was sick of how sluggish the money has been. I have always kept my rates low (so low that making $1/min was often my goal..) because I'm a large BBW and really selling myself short. but I read through this thread and plucked up the courage to go change my SM rate to $4.99/$6.99 (a HUGE jump for me!) and I'm sooo grateful to everybody who had commented here, for sharing your stories and being inspiring, and encouraging us to DEMAND our worth!

    I'm looking forward to camming over the next two weeks and seeing how it goes!

    What an amazing thread this is!

    Oh boy. Well here's my silly story. I started Streamate in January (part time) and have been doing pretty okay. I'm at 5.99 exl and 11.99 pvt. I seriously hate privates. I admire ladies who can make this work for them... I just get stuck in 30 second freebie loops. Anyway, I digress. I'm in exl high 60% to low 70% a majority of the time. It seems like that's a good range, and I feel so lucky to have that! It could just be that I'm new and a novelty right now. Idk. Should I get greedy and raise it up a dollar or two? I fucking hate sitting in free chat doing nothing. I'd rather be cheaper and busy than expensive and in free chat all day. Anyway, is this too greedy... especially since I hate free chat? I'd like to keep my percentage in paid about the same as it is now.

    Thanks to any replies. I really value this community. Amazing!

    I love you guys SO MUCH! I just did my first show ever on Streamate tonight (so not a "raise" from anything per se) but I wouldn't have known how to set my prices otherwise and probably would have just assumed to pick something lower or mid-range since I was new. I set it at 3.99/5.99 and got a 24 min exclusive my night. Thanks!

    Well I'm eating my words at the top of this page because after thinking about what you guys said for a bit, I did raise my rates. And guess what? Better customers and my regulars haven't noticed/complained and I am making $75 an hour average now. I started at $30/hr on Streamate when I started there a year and a half ago. Pretty damn cool!
