    One night I had a pvt/group where two guys wanted to pay my max $19.99/min, it only lasted 5.5 mins but I basically made a little over $75ish total. With two guys that means I made $14/min my cut!
    This is super inspiring!
    Sometimes "the average customer" is boring lol. I'm looking forward to giving this a try.

    I usually don't make much of anything during contests so I've been avoiding going on SM and focusing on other sites and making content.

    I'm considering maxing out both private and exclusive during this next contest. Not much to lose since most of my regulars seem to have flown the coop lately, lol. Might be a fun experiment.

    I recently raised my rates from $8.99/$9.99 to $9.99/$10.99 on SM. I gave it a full week to see what was possible. This is what is possible and the guys were tipping on top of the $10.99 rate:

    I may have to wait a little longer for shows, but the quality of clients is ace and I happily do these fetish shows with a smile. I'm a soft Domme and rarely take off my clothes much less fuck myself with a dildo.

    Raise those rates ladies. It is possible to get paid what you're worth!!!

    I raised right away pretty much. Id been on SM for a long time, at average rates and every time I would raise by $1 or so, I’d see results for exactly a week, and then go back to the doldrums of waiting for long hours to get shows etc. Then last year, during lockdown (my country had a hard lockdown, so no leaving the house for 5 months except for essentials) I took about 3 months just fully off cam to recover and rest etc. When I went back, I figured that all was lost anyway, none of my customers would come back and id be at the bottom placement wise, so I said fuck it, and raised all the way up in one go. I raised by about $5 each show. My thinking was that if I was going to sit on cam for ages, the shows I did get would be well paid ones. I also updated my look and made sure that whenever I was on cam, I looked sleek and elegant. I bought a wig because my hair has just never really worked for me on cam aesthetically, plus it cut down on my time to get ready. I also invested in some good looking lingerie and am working out to tone my body up. Basically, I try look like a premium product every time I’m online. I believe that this helped people buy into my rates as well.


    Turns out I didn’t need to worry, those high rates somehow took off from day 1, and so far no one has complained. People have acknowledged that they are expensive, but I just treat it as you would if you were a business owner. It costs what it costs, your ability to afford it, is not my problem. This summer I think I’ll be going for another $1-2/min raise and just see how it goes. I would love to be at Max rates on SM by next year.

    All of this is just what worked for me. Most of you ladies may not need to change your look or show or whatever to make high rates work, but it is also something to consider, just in case. In terms of raising, don’t be scared to do it all at once, but also keep vigilant about where your bread is buttered. Understand as well that at the beginning, you may lose income. Calculate how much of a % cut you can take, and for how long, just so that you can set your prices to a place where even if you do experience income loss for a while, you are still getting paid enough to live on etc. Stick to your guns as well. Guys can read if you are not confident with your rates. Fake it til you make it, they will buy into it.

    ETA: I’ve seen models on SM who have rates of 12.99/19.99 who seldom leave private shows, so there is a lot of evidence that high rates can work. Good luck!

    I switched my rates around to $9.99/private and $14.99/exclusive and I'm making more money, spending more time in paid chat, having multiple guys in private and loads of guys still go exclusive as well. I wish I'd done this sooner because yes I get $14.99/min in exclusive but sometimes I'm getting $50/min in private with multiple guys and the peepers don't even bother me, it's hard to see them through all that money raining down.

    This SM contest has pissed me way off. I'm not even PMSing. I raised my EXCL rate to $15.99 and will keep it that way this whole contest. I'm leaving my PVT rate at $9.99 where I do non nude.

    FUCK ALL THE BS. If I'm gonna sit around for this shit I'm gonna get paid bank.

    Will report at the end of the week.

    UPDATE:

    NOPE. Sat at 4.5 hrs with $15.99 and zero shows. Lowered it back down to $10.99 and I'm getting shows with lots of GOLD.

    Gonna keep it at $10.99 loolollll

    I've been at 6.99/9.99 for months and months on SM. Today I got the "Expensive" tag. I can't decide if this is a good thing or not. I consider my prices at the high side of average, perhaps I should increase them to live up to the tag.

    These guys want sex for the cheap. I don’t care if it’s virtual sex-it’s still sex! Sex isn’t cheap! Especially if your a quality model. If you are quality model, then your not too expensive. They want some girl that will do the most for $50! Sex is usually $300-$500. I think that’s pretty average for sex??? So 9.99 for 10 mins is $100! Your cut $30 and afte taxes $21!!! Get out of here! These guys want $20 BJ’s and $50 sex. Girls your are worth it! Especially with the prices of everything going up.

    I’m 6.99/9.99. These guys are ridiculous! And they don’t tip!

    OK I'm gonna be honest...I played customer this week and took some girls private. From the vanilla newbie with the bad quality cam all the way up to the elite expensive studio models. I desperately needed to see what my competition was and what I could learn from these girls. I agree with you on what you said because this is what I found...

    Girls who do fetishes, like 85% of them (yes I calculated) had HIGH rates. Like, above $9.99. Their shows were good. They know their shit. Watching them for hours, they had no issues getting privates or getting tips. And yes, their customers loved being in their presence.

    I watched one studio girl who replied to a guy so perfectly. She said, "Do I look like a woman who doesn't know what they're doing?"

    I believe in raising your rates. Great work, ShaSha!! That's a damn good week you had!

    I know I'm not killing myself anymore. I'm finally able to pull 4-5 hour shifts. I also go slower. I don't spaz out.

    I love what you said. It reminds me of this nice restaurant I finally could afford to go to. It was a $200 experience but it was just that: an EXPERIENCE. I've watched girls who mindlessly just stick a dildo in their vagina and you can tell they really don't care, they have daily conversation talk while they do it, and it's bland. Then there are the girls that are masters at their art. They pull you in the split second and it's a real show. A real experience. That's the difference i see. If you're an unethusiastic girl that doesn't put a lot of effort in, that's totally cool. But these girls are quick fixes who show the man what he wants in 2 minutes or less. Some women want to give a full experience. And I've learned that's me.

    I feel men do that because they're bitter their wallet isn't as big as your self-appreciation.

    GIRL PREACH. I was $2.99/$3.99 and like I've said before, when I raised my rates some guys got hella pissy. I told them "I can't charge my 2010 rate in 2021 and expect to live." In 2010 I was young and lived at home. I'm a fucking adult now with car payments and house payments and shit. This month alone I've spent $200 on new stuff for my job and we can't write that off. Not to mention a tax add on in my state fucking kills me. I've already talked about that.

    I started doing full makeup, a wig like another girl said, and better lighting. I'm not a basic cam girl anymore.

    I actually had one guy whine to me tonight and say "You're $6.99 for exclusive? That's a bit expensive. That's like $70 in ten minutes."

    I told him "Well I've been putting up with your shit in free chat for an hour so I think I've earned that."

    I've been inspired. I put my PREMIUM at $6.99 and my exclusive at $7.99. The site won't let me go higher than that. Doing it for 30 days no restraints!
