    same here, i prefer to have lower rates and get more guys coming in. bills wait for me and being proud to charge less wont pay them at all.

    I agree. Free chat is what drains my energy, not constantly performing in paid chat.
    I usually get 2-3 guys in paid at the same time, who STAY for a long time, when my rates are lower. $3.99 or $4.99
    But that's just the way I like it.
    Plus, I think it's psychological. If guys see me in free chat for too long, their twisted mind probably thinks that nobody wants me.

    I get the same amount of shows whether my prices are at $3.99 or $5.99...only difference is I get paid more now. The minute men are still only going to stay a minute...only now I get paid more for that minute. The guys who want me to perform their fetish are going to take me exclusive whether I'm charging $5.99 or $7.99...only now I get paid more to do their fetish. Don't think you won't get shows at a higher price, because you will...just as many, if not more than when you were short changing yourself. Be confident and get paid more for the hard work you put into your shows...we deserve more than pocket change for what we do. You won't get it unless you demand it. My prices will only be going up with my gaining experience.

    If anyone doubts raising their rates, just think like this: "What is MY cut?" because if your cut is low, basically you're telling yourself that you are only worth taking home a low amount. If you offer bargain prices, basically you're saying that you're a bargain good. Are you? Probably not. Don't be afraid to think highly of yourself money wise.

    THIS!
    IS very true. My cut on streamate is 27%. So...I have to charge at least 7,99/ min so i can get a nice cut.
    I never care how much the customer pays. I did this mistake and affected me mentally a lot.
    Focus on your cut and on how much u take girls. Not on how much the customer pays.
    Even the seller at the bakery afford himself to add something extra for the bread, especially if is good. And people will buy it because is good, the baker will make a nice proffit too and everyone is happy.

    Yup and they dont go to the corner shop and ask if they can taste the bread first before they buy the loaf lmao.

    I was doing okay sideline wise with custom vids but I've noticed people want to pay less and less recently. I've seen 5 and 7 credits being offered which is 5 or 7 dollars (UK girl here so take 20% off to get to £ stirling and then take out 35% for the site) so about a couple of quid. I think if we bow down to low prices then the expectation will be that.

    I've been slightly raising my prices each time I cam now and it's actually getting me guys who come and stay for a long time, like yesterday this guy was in group for 20 mins, then he got annoyed people kept popping in and asking me questions, so he took me to private for another 20! all at a higher rate than I usually charge, god bless this thread

    I find it's a way to widen my audience a bit as I don't get many coming into my room otherwise. But I alternate it because it is intense at times.

    i think that there are some real payers who come to free, to get to know a girl and whats shes abt, but most of them are just twats trying to cum for free. I know it works for some girls, not for me though.

    So every few weeks I raise my prices.. Right now I'm at 5.99/7.99... And every time it works..but last week I went to 6.99/7.99 and my percentage went down to the 30s wen it is usually in the high 50s ..so I took it back to 5.99 and kept the exclusive at 7.99 and it's all back to normal..I feel like I should be able to go higher especially since I offer a lot and I'm on row 1 most the time.. I'm also wondering how much the top row girls are charging ..should I make a custy account and check ? I'm so close to the 2k thread and the only way to get ther is to raise them..or figure out gold shows..but then I. Going to have to make vids and pic sets cuz those guys don't wanna join ever!!

    @Layla - This is mostly a personal superstition, but I always try to keep my private/exclusive ratio somewhere between 2:3 and 3:4. For example, at 5.99/7.99 you were at a 3:4 ratio, and then when you raised only the private rate to 6.99/7.99, it changed your ratio to 7:8. If I were at 5.99/7.99 and wanted to follow my ratio superstition, I'd raise them to 6.69/8.99.

    It's probably total nonsense, but my gut tells me that if your private and exclusive rates are too close together, it scrambles guys' brains, and then neither option seems appealing to them. Does anyone else have any weird rates systems like that?

    I always keep at least $2 between my private and exclusive rates. I find that's what works best for me.

    Someone posted a REALLY interesting article about pricing strategies here that said something to that effect. The gap between two prices makes them more appealing, apparently - if the price is the same (especially) it can cause buyer inertia. So you're definitely onto something. Gonna see if I can find that article and get back to you.#

    Edit: Here it is!!

    Thanks for the articles, Sovereign and Susie! That is some awesome info!

    I really liked this bit from the creativehype article:
    The problem with this school of thought is that while you may attract more clients in the short-run, clients who are drawn to you primarily because of your low prices and not your skill sets and value, are the wrong types of clients. And these are the clients who are often difficult to work with, demand flexibility and free handouts, ask for their money back, and simply don’t appreciate the value of what you’re doing for them.
    It's nice to know that other professionals outside the sex industry experience these pain in the ass free loaders, too!

    I liked the exact same bit.

    I find it really hard to put any value on what I do, because I personally wouldn't spend £100 every other week to watch me jiggle my ass or whatever, but people do spend that.
