    Default webcamming at $4.99 a minute or higher

    Now I am trying to get back into the swing of things for webcamming to work up to $500 a week since when I broke it down my bills and goals I need about $2000 to $2500 a month to life on .

    I am wondering now because at lower rates I feel like I am selling myself sort I highly believe that I should be $3.99 a minute or higher especially when I did the math if I am set at $3.99 a minute my take on that is about $1.40 a minute and when its at $4.99 a minute I get about $1.75 a minute which makes it more appealing and motivating knowing that I can reach my goal faster.

    I am still trying to figure out how to navigate my room it seems a lot harder then when I was camming full-time many years ago. Last night was not bad I had a guy come private for about 9 minutes and made about $15 (at $4.99)

    I am just not sure what I can do to make every night I work profitable to reach my weekly salary.

    Be consistent and confident... There are always guys who will pay at whatever rate you put.
    More guys will pay cheap rates but the ones who pay higher rates are usually more courteous and stay longer in my opinion. You will work less and make the same or more.
    I used to be stuck at $3.99/$4.99 ten I got stuck at $4.99/$5.99..now my sweet spot is $4.99-$5.99/$9.99...
    I do $4.99 or $5.99 for premium depending on how busy it is and always keep exclusive at $9.99..
    You need to know you are worth what you are charging or else the guys won't think you are.

    Before I started camming, one of the camming blogs I read strongly recommended STARTING off at something like 2.49 and slowly raising...

    Now? I think that's complete bullshit, and pretty shocking...

    I think performers should start off pretty high, and see how it goes because there seem to me that there is no substantial reason you should sell cheap shows for what we do (showing pussy, ass, boobs, cervix, etc) - whether it's your first day or you're 2 years into, whatever, it unless your earnings tell you otherwise.

    You're still a luxury, no matter where you are in your camming career. You can hit your target easily - just work hard, be consistent, and if your rate per min makes you feel like you're selling yourself short, take hold of the reigns and up that rate to what you know you deserve for your work! You can reach your goals!

    The guys who want exclusive will pay...
    I used to only have a $1 difference in between premium and exclusive but I would average 2-3 guys in premium so it basically cost me money to take exclusives...
    They paid basically the same thing for names-requests yet I was only getting $0.35 more a min...no thank you lol

    $4.99 and up is where its at girl.I recently change my rates from $3.99/$4.99 to 4.99/$5.99 i cant tell you how much easier it is to make my goal.Also when i raised my rates a dollar more for some reason i was getting more big spenders.Trust me, keeping your rates at $4.99 or higher is the best thing you can do for your pockets and camming career.

    $4.99 is a good start, as these fine ladies have stated. Wow I need a better site!

    I challenged myself to raise from 4.99/5.99 to 5.99/7.99. - just for one hour. I now left it, 2 days now!!!! I will prob adjust as needed here, seasonal maybe like temingmodel, etc. Esp. how hard i work to give a good show, i am worth it. Every time I raise my rates I feel more confident. Can't wait until $14.99 min ($5.25 my cut) for 2 min of work!!! My pvts only avg 4 min anyway! AND they get to keep a video of you (just found this out!)

    I had regs come in and others, no one said anything..... It was like $18 for less than 6 min!! I have 1 over 40 min & 20 long exclusive and many pvt but only lasted around 2-10. YA I didn't have to kill myself in long shows and i made MORE $$$ doing so....

    That being said - I am going to work now

    I agree with higher rates, but I think it depends on a few things. If you already have a strong following, if you are willing to wait for longer in free chat for those guy who pay more, etc. For example, if I'm making 100$ with lower rates I might be able to do it in 3 hours or so, versus waiting 6 hours between large spenders.

    I have some dedicated regulars but not a large following and with higher rates I can get privates from new people...
    On a site like SM with the amouny of paying traffic it has I don't believe this statement to be 100% accurate.

    I guess what I'm saying is it depends on the model. I find I have to sit in free chat a lot longer at higher rates to make my goal, and that's something I'd rather not do. But if you can charge higher and not do that, great!

    When I first got back on there about 3 weeks ago I started with 3.99/4.99 and compared to what I was making and where I was camming, I was shocked I got shows at that price.

    I then got streammate to raise my rate options and now have it at 5.99/5.99. Reason why they are the same is because I do specifically fetish and group shows don't work for this. Also with Fetish/BDSM I wouldn't charge any less or do vanilla shows so I avoid premium if I can. All my shows have been exclusive, block, or some guy thinking I'm going to show my tits in 30 seconds. Nope, I'm just gonna wiggle my cleave, taunt you, and take your $2 despite it not being from your pocket.

    I got curious and looked at other girls' rates in my niche and many were REALLY low. I'm talking 2-3$ low. Considering they are talking to 4 people at once, just tell you to go private and are kinda boring, I guess that works.

    I look back and can't believe I ever set the bar so low for myself. Good grief. Never again!

    Do any of you work on AW? It seems like so many ladies have such low rates there... Why will guys pay a high price on one site but not another? Hmm..

    On SM mine was $5.29 for exclusive for about a year and no problem making good money ($4.29 for private). On Adultwork I was charging 1.25 for group and 2.25 (credits) for private. I raised my rates yesterday like I do every year to 4.79/5.79 and 1.50/2.50. I don't anticipate any trouble. Guys will point it out though. It works for me. I've always found that higher rates attract better clients.

    I've never tried rates over 4.99 per minute on Adultwork I've always heard their cheap over there. I'm sure guys would pay anything though.

    Did they ask you what you wanted your rates to be? They only increased mine to a max of 6.99.
