    Default Qualifications for "higher & lower rates" - SM

    I was reading some threads about charging lower and higher prices but didn't really get the answer i needed.
    I know that everyone has a price that works for them but what would you consider, in your own opinion of course
    the qualifications to charge prices bellow $4.99, since $3.99/$4.99 is average rates and higher $5.99&up; for
    both premium and exclusive. right now i have my rates at $6.99/P-$5.99/E, i offer everything but anal so i was
    thinking because of that i should lower it? i have my premium high because i hate group shows and prefer 1on1.
    What do you ladies think?


    hope this thread make sense, lil loopy.

    there is no set qualification for what you do , it is who you are and what you want to make of it.

    I know plenty of models w high rates and do not perform anal etc,its all about the model and her hustle.

    You don't have to fuck yourself crazy to justify charging higher rates! Be MORE than that! Be your own brand of sexy and charisma! I don't do toys, no fingers, no anal, no BJ and I can still charge a lot more than most girls in my niche because I simply can.

    I'd only lower your prices if you have reason to believe they're hurting your profits... if it's been suuuuper slow and you think that would make the difference, sure, try it. But don't just do it because you think your show isn't worth as much as someone who does anal. The good customers think of you as an indulgence, a luxury. They want to see you and aren't all that concerned about the price.

    Full disclosure: I have mine waaay lower than I think I'm worth bc my stream quality is really bad. But they're higher than many gorgeous girls with incredible quality who offer more orifices and more sex acts, and no one has ever even mentioned my private rates.

    ^^^ Just out of curiosity Marina, what u do in ur shows then? wink
    I have mixed feelings regarding this matter, i do vanilla shows mostly, nothing hardcore, just pussy play and fetishes (very rarely anal with small toy or use fingers) and i sometimes get people in my room '$5 a min? what u do for these money?', had somebody typing this to me recently.
    Right, i see members here on SW telling how much they charge (very high rates) but some fail to tell what they offer for that rates or that they mostly do cheap gold shows and the high pvt/ excl. rates are too expensive for most customers to afford.
    One lady here said in a thread how successful she is with doing anal shows but in another thread she said she doesent even own a toy, how can u do anal w.o using a toy? If u use fingers only is Ass fingering. Maybe she uses other objects. Anyway, i am curious what other ladies have to say on this subject.

    Well as you already know, I am a Transsexual so it's a huge fetish for a lot of straight men. I just basically do a lot of talking and show my body. A lot of times I will just talk until they ask to see me naked. I know other girls in my niche do toys, anal etc but I don't. My shows are VERY light. I like to do the least with my body as possible. I am a novelty so I can get away with it.

    But yeah, what do I really do?! Nothing much, lol!

    I dont do anal ,but if they want anal i can just spread my ass and tell them how bad i want them to fuck my little virgin ass with their tounge or fat dick.The talk alone can get them off.I've done anal a few times but that was only on MFC and the guy paid a shit load for it.But yea u can get away with higher prices with no anal.Some guys like females with high prices ,I guess they think if u charge higher prices u must be the bomb.com.If u think your worth it, charge it.

    1) Anyone who uses that phrasing is 100% a timewaster, mark my words.

    2) My go-to answer when someone asks what I do in private is "Fuck myself silly for your viewing pleasure!" Or "Come hard!" Etc. Undeniably sexual, but short and sweet. I'm normally pretty PG-13 in free chat so that usually gets a rise (heh.) But most guys who ask that question just want free jack off material anyway.

    One lady here said in a thread how successful she is with doing anal shows but in another thread she said she doesent even own a toy, how can u do anal w.o using a toy? If u use fingers only is Ass fingering. Maybe she uses other objects.
    I agree that it'd be awesome to see how different factors affect successful prices, but this is what I really had to reply to. What!? AFAIK anything entering the anus = anal. Hell, the farthest I'll go is rubbing my asshole and when people ask I say I don't do anal PENETRATION. I don't use toys, do I not offer pussy?

    It is so depressing that the phrases "only ass fingering" and "other objects" can be applied to our job.

    my rates was $4.99/P-$3.99/E but that was a months ago before i took a break to build my site and get more cam accessories,
    i was doing great at those prices but now that im back i raised it for the fact that i have more to offer like more toys, better HD
    quality, and more outfits, etc. i have never done GOLD shows but planing on experimenting with them soon. tonight is going
    to be my first night back so i guess i'll see how those prices go for me. thanks for all the inputs, any other ladies have 2 cents
    they would like to add is welcomed. ( :

    * wish me luck! very excited to be back! (^__^)

    Set your rates based on what you want to earn. How can that be difficult?! Fuck what everyone else is doing or what you think you have/ haven't got. Earn what you WANT!

    Just thought I would put in my two cents: I am a new model, I've just started my 3rd week, and my rates are $5.99pvt / $6.99excl. I usually make between $200-$300 a night or more working around 4 hours a night, and I do not do anal, anything rough, more than 3 fingers, or fetishes (mainly because I don't know how lol). Actually, I never even did toys up until today, I got my first vibrator, haha. There has been one guy that mentioned that I was too expensive for him, other than that, no one has really complained. I don't think that by offering "less" than some girls, I am not worth as much for what I do. Guys will pay for what they like, and chances are there will be PLENTY of guys who like exactly what you do and will pay for it regardless of whether or not you do anal. Don't lower your rates to accommodate those who like anal, because there are a lot of people who don't care about it at all.

    EDIT: I really think that some of us girls (especially new girls like me) have worried way too much about rates. From what I have experienced so far, it seems guys will pay for you if they want YOU, end of story. If there are guys running around "bargain hunting" and can't afford you, chances are you don't want their cheap ass business anyway! They'll be the ones like "bb can you fist and cum in 2 mins?"

    Found this quote the other day so I went and raised my rates.
    I feel my personality is worth way more than I was charging.
    I've been slacking though so I guess we'll see how it goes.

    I charge 5.99/6.99 for pvt and excl. I am pretty vanilla, don't really do any fetish work except for the occasional bitchy personality (I'm so much better then your wife/gf/whatever) that guys request. I don't do anal. But, I can get away with it because I'm a super gorgeous BBW with a killer personality. Lol, guys lap it up.

    Go as high as you can while still being about to maintain your daily goal. There's no point charging 12.99 per minute if you struggle to make 100 or 200 dollars a day (or whatever your goal ) in a reasonable amount of time. But there's no point in charging 2.99 when customers will be willing to pay 4.99 or 5.99 or more.

    I charge $5.99/$9.99.. I don't do anal, rp, too many fetishes and for the longest time I didn't even use toys.

    Qualification wise should be more on the guys side not ours lol. The guys "qualified" to pay $4.99(whatever) plus a minute don't see it as a big deal the guys who complain aren't qualified because they are cheap or just simply can't afford it. Honestly though i think it has more to do with the quality of the guy... A guy who can't afford it but is a decent person won't complain..a guy who can't afford (or just doesn't want to pay) who complains is a douche and I don't want them in my pvt anyways because they usually ruin the mood for me (and other guys if in party chat). /end minirant
