    Default Streamate--should I LOWER my prices?

    This is my second week into camming, and I'm enjoying it...my first check cheered me up too.

    I'm wondering if I shouldn't lower my prices (which are $4.19/min.) This is the price I started at. I think I'm pretty good, I have good lighting. The other reason my price is rather high is that I'm a single mom, and the only time during the day that I have to cam is when my son is sleeping (2-3 hours). I'm trying to make as much as possible in the time allotted, before little man wakes up. And I tend to be too exhausted to cam after dark.

    A customer mentioned today that "I would go prvt with you bb, but your prices are too high." I've read numerous threads on here about weeding out cheap customers/beggars with high prices, but I'm wondering if I'm being balanced enough. My privates rarely last more than 5 minutes, and I usually don't get any more than 2 or 3 a show. Do you think that if I lower my prices, I'll get more privates, longer privates?

    I get comments like that occasionally... "woah bb why u so expensive?" I just ignore those guys. They are cheap. I think you should keep your prices where they're at, or maybe lower them to 3.99 since that's a pretty common price for models and the number psychologically makes it seem more reasonable for customers even though it's only 21 cents cheaper.

    It is up to you. You know since SM lets you change your prices 10 times a day...one day you could try a lower rate and see how that goes. Compare how much you made with that compared to your regular price.

    Guys will always say that crap. I am sure if your price was 99 cents a minute some dumbfuck would say That is too expensive lower your rate bb.

    I agree with what Smurfette said about maybe finding a "rounder" number for your price...bizarrely enough, I get the most "lower price bb" crap when I am at random numbers (like $4.19!) but when I have gone HIGHER, but to a more rounded number (like $4.49 or $4.99) those comments stop.

    Methinks that it is a kind of Jedi mind trick....or that guys ain't that bright! (or logical...)

    Play around with it a little - maybe lower your price to $3.99 and see, then raise it to $4.99 and see - because you are able to change your prices so much on SM, you can really experiment to figure out what works. I wouldn't go below $3.99 though.

    This may also have something to do with you being new, and having that "new girl" tag on your profile. There are a lot of guys that like to prey on the new girls - fool them into thinking that they have been given gold, try to persuade them to do things in free chat, etc etc. These assholes are trying to take advantage of a lack of experience, and part of that may be by trying to make you lower your price.
    I take cash, debit or credit. I just don't take shit.

    Hi

    Im glad is going well to you on SM.

    I'm gona talk about my own experience and point of view, I started like 2 months ago at $1.99 and did get few privates yes, but daily earnings where like $10-$15 in like 3 or 4 hours.....I stop putting online there, and 1 month after I came back with higher prices (3.49 premium and 4.49 exclusive) I did got a few pvt, no longer than 5 or 6 minutes LOL...I downgrade my prices to 2.99 premium and 3.99 exclusive, and I do get like 6-10 pvts daily of 9-15 minutes each...so for me, 2.99 seems to work, but 3.49 or 3.99 or more not very well :/ so you can try to play with your prices, even at this price I get a few cheapos asking me to go to 1.99 for pvt, and I said NO you just need to see which price fit best for you

    Try out every price range and see which one makes you the most money.

    confidence is key! if u know u are worth the price ur at then keep it that way. i get guys here and there that say they would get a prvt if my prices were lower. pffft fuck em, they are in fact cheapos! fuck, even i seen girls do gold shows that are $1, $2, $3 buy ins for like a fucking 10 min show, still have a hard time getting enough guys to buy in to reach the goals. in all honesty, i still had lots of guys staying no longer than 5 min even when my prices were lower. - those types of guys in fact encouraged me to keep raising my prices! if they are only staying a few min, then i might as well make it fucking count. don't let guys like that dictate ur prices, we all get those and as soon as they notice that u changed cuz them, they will take advantage of u. most guys don't give a shit about u, u are they're wank off material, plain and simple, so do u and the real ones will pay!

    Whenever a guy tells me my prices are really high I just reply 'I guess you're gonna have to save up for me then'

    If you think that you'll make more money by lowering your prices a little, but do it because you think it's a good idea and not because some stranger on the internet told you it was. And even then, remember exactly what it is you're selling: a sexy show from a beautiful, confident woman. Don't sell yourself for less than you think you're worth.

    I've only had a few people tell me my prices are too high. These were the scrubs or should I say cheap people lol. I wouldn't worry about it but I do agree with a few of the girls about maybe changing it to a rounder number. You'll always have at least a few guys that stop through to comment that your prices are too high. I don't think they get it. We don't get to keep all the money that they spend on us. On the other hand, you'll have those guys that say your prices are not too high, but they just need to save up because of their personal situations. I've had those types and they always come back once they've saved up enough to play.

    That same guy would probably complain even if you were only $2.99/min. LOL. I've been in rooms where models had very reasonable rates, and guys still complained. They're gonna try that shit so that you give them a deal. Don't fall for it.

    I used to have a guy on ImLive who asked for my discount code (no matter what my rate was), and he never stayed in private long. The last few times I've seen him I refused to give him a discount. He can go elsewhere if he doesn't wanna pay my $3.80/min. rate.

    There are a lot of cheapasses on Streamate (as well as on other sites) who seem to think they're entitled to discounts, just because they said hi to you. LOL.
