    I had gained 50 pounds more than when I first started camming and it made NO difference in my shows at all. I never lowered my rate due to my weight. In fact, some guys loved it better than being thinner. If you are making more money charging less, than great for you but I dont want you to feel like you have to charge less due to being bbw. I sure would flaunt it instead and make em pay more for getting more *smiles*

    yup i can attest to that do and some start turning turning into 30 sec peepers and bouncing in and out of ur pvts with other ppl. sorry i keep posting in here but im like the poster child of what NOT do to when camming and i think its better ppl be told that it does happen from someone who had it happen to them (if that makes sense)

    You know what's funny? I was at 5.99 for both shows, because most of my guys will pick Exclusive anyhow. I adjust the rates to 4.99/6.99 and still get mostly exclusives! Hardly any takers for a 4.99 pvt. But I'm doing well with the 6.99 exclusive, so I'm thinking of raising the PVT to 5.99...

    ^ It reeeeeeally depends what site you're on. I'm at 3.80 on IML which is on the higher end of average (lots of 2.80 girls, lots of 1.98 girls giving out their 0.40 discount codes to everyone), when I forgot to bring my rates down from 5.80 for a findom session I had people commenting within 5 minutes. 5.80, the horror!

    On the other hand on SM I'd say low is under 2.99 (for anything), average is 2.99-7.99 and high is 7.99+. But I'm just pulling those numbers out of my ass lol and they don't necessarily apply to girls who have more than a dollar or so difference between their premium and exclusive rates.

    Just my experience with lowering my rates. I did a Gold Show few days ago. It was something like 20 mins for 9 Gold, which means a discount of over 90 % compared to my regular rates and I just did it because I wanted to check if it is worth to perform for more guys at once. I have already sold this sort of show in pvt for two regs of mine at my regular rate and they loved it, so i thought it is a good idea to inform them about the cheap opportunity but they could not participate (no time, tired, visitors, etc.).

    I did the show anyway and made almost exactly the same amount what I could make in a single pvt (and that only because one of them was tipping during the show), but I was entertaining 5 guys. Among them two cheapos with 1-2 min shows from time to time. Well, at least they felt themselves as the king of the universe but I was not really happy.

    Well, yesterday one my "good" regs showed up and was bugging me for a show... at my regular rate. My conclusion is, the guys I would like to attract will buy shows when they are in the mood/have time/whatever, no matter what they cost and they will not buy shows even if they are ridiculously cheap. And the cheap asses can go to the 0 Gold Shows.

    That being said, SM was also bad for me the last week, but I guess it has nothing to do with me or my prices, I will keep them as they are and stick it out and work my other site instead, which saved my ass.

    Oh yeah, I think I've seen a couple of Hall of Fame hosts offering that. I remember thinking "Man, that's cheap! It must take them a long time to make their goal!" I'd never in a million years offer that, but I guess they can manage to do it because of their popularity...if they're constantly in private shows.

    I'm at 4.80.

    I had mine set to 5.80..lol..I actually did get enough shows out of it to hit the $50 payout and get a check, but 4.80 is better and many will still balk at that.

    I had to chime in on this... My experience- I been at $5.99/$6.99 for the last 2 years or so... Last night and tonight I tried to play with low rates... NEVER again will I lower them... Did $3.99 yesterday- 1 2min private.... Did $2.99 tonight- again, 1 2min prv and a ton of "will you fist your ass"... Plus low rates makes me feel weird, I feel a lot more confident at $5.99/$6.99. If it means lower placement because of lower % in paid chat, then so be it. Most nights I make my soft $200 goal without even touching a dildo at that rate. I think we need to dig out the tread what was about raising rates. I just can't find it to bump it...

    iFriends has been my home site since I started camming with them when they opened in 1998. Unfortunately, traffic is pretty pathetic there, so, I decided I will just max out my price to $7.99 (for my category, I would have to be in Fetish or some other specialty category to charge upwards of $19.99 per min) with the thought that if I am going to be on this site, (I do other things while on iFriends since you do not have to do free chat and can even block guests from bugging you) I want to make a tidy sum off of whoever wanders in! Oddly enough, I have made 4x what I normally make! Yes, I have had regulars who have visited for years quip, "You are $7.99 now!?" (I used to be between $4.99 and $5.99) and I answer, "Yep, this site is a sinking ship and I want to make hay while the sun shines!" Now, I would lower back to the other rates for those who I have had a long term camming relationship with, but, if they do not protest too much or even ask if I can lower it, they can pay $7.99 too. And, they have. I find sites like SM difficult to acclimate to, as the ambiance there is like a loud nightclub for me - hard to really talk to anyone, that is IF anyone even bothers to talk to me! I feel like I am in a fish tank and people just come in and stare, while others tap on the glass (trolls), and some actually feed me! I am trying really hard to avoid SM, but, I am sure I will venture there every now and then. I think I just come from the "old school" of camming, where EVERYTHING was paid for - none of these cheap shows, begging or 2000 videos if you buy into a $1 Gold Show. I have often wondered if it is now a young gals game and us old timers who started back in the 90's need to be put out to pasture. LOL I don't feel I am too old to cam, but, just the whole scene has gone downhill in what the girl has to give in order to make a paltry sum.



    As for the girl who started the thread and now seems to be MIA, let's look at it in a positive light: She made so much money by cutting her rate that she was able to buy her own private island and has now retired! LOL

    What price did you ladies start at? How long did it take before you increased them?

    I'm thinking about doing something like for every 1000 more favorites I get I'll increase by X amount.

    I have to agree. I cannot IMAGINE settling for ~$20 for an hour-long private. If that were the only rate I could make money at, I'd be looking for a vanilla job pronto.

    If you ever want to make decent money, you need to attract the customers who HAVE money. It'll be an awful uphill battle if you're trying to reel in every guy with only $15 in his pocket, and the guys with a few hundred to spend seem to expect that they'll get what they pay for. I wouldn't be surprised if most of the big spenders skip right past the $0.99 girls.

    Ohhh and they SOOO do. I had a very long conversation with one of my level 4 regulars the other night about it and he said something like this: "I will never even talk to a woman who is at $0.99/min, they do not value themselves, why should I?"

    I been at $5.99/min for the last 2 years... Did a lot of experimenting with $1.99/min (it was a $119/h my cut), but... It may have been just a luck, since the next time I was online barely averaged $25/h... $2.99/min... pretty much same $1.99 crowd but not so many people in pvt at the same time as $1.99... $3.99/min-a little longer privates, but still too cheap since guys still ask for "phone" "c2c" "stand on your head and fuck yourself with 5 dildoes at the same time or ill give you 1 star"... So after 30+ hours of experimenting- my hourly average is pretty much the same as it is at $5.99/min, but I had to work 2 times as hard and deal with every known asshole there is... % in paid chat went up by a lot, but it did not affect my placement... A crap load of new favorites added, but.... As soon as I put price up I had 30+ drop in favorites within a few hours...
    So my conclusion- F*** cheap...I am 32, with saggy tits, celulite all over my legs (ass look kind of ok still), 30-40 pounds I could loose, but choose not to and I could care less what some cheap Fuck has to say about me being too expensive... So I am sticking to my original $5.99/min and being proud of my "expensive" tags
    Happy camming everyone!!!!
    Happy camming!!!

    its funny that I saw this thread, because JUST last night I decided to lower my prvt rate to 1.49 to see what would happen and I made over my goal in less than an hour when I had only made $16 so far that night (and I had been on cam for two hours lol) I'm going to raise my price to 1.99 for a week and see how it goes. Albeit, I did work harder and I was definitely tired when I got off cam lol. I agree with what another girl said, when I sit around and wait for someone to take me private at 3.99 I get bored and annoyed and just end up logging off for the night. I'd much rather stay busy.
