    WWW What are your rates? (survey)

    How much do you charge per minute?
    Why do you charge this amount?
    Do you wish you could charge more? Would you feel comfortable charging less?
    What sites do you use?

    I'm researching for the sake of seeing if there's a trend. I know it's advised that you figure out what you feel you're worth by knowing your niche, knowing your traffic, knowing your limits, etc. This is just for the sake of know-how.

    Eta:
    I charge $3.99 and $5.99 per minute, so that I can make ~1.39 and ~$2.09 per minute in the end pre-taxes.
    I'd charge more, but I don't want to run people away with "high rates". I wouldn't be comfortable charging less because I don't want to make pocket change per minute for the amount of work I do.

    I only use Streamate for big box camming, but I've gone completely indy

    This isn't intended to be snarky. I have no problem sharing my information regarding this, but it makes sense since you asked the question to answer the questions yourself first. It is more likely others will open up that way.

    Thanks for adding your own input. Indy I charge $4/min, my payment processor takes 15%. On iFriends I charge $4.50, (started out charging 3.99 10 years+ ago there but traffic dies so I only raised it a little) and I get 55%. On Kinklive I charge $4 for private, $5 for true private, I get 60%. Still trying to build up clientele there. But my main site is Streamate, where I charge $5.49 and $6.49. Raised 50c. recently. I think I started out at 4.49 a few years ago. I'd like to go up to $6 and $8 for exclusive, but I want to lose some weight (again) and feel more confident first. I charge more on SM because of the low percentage, 35%. It works for me, I do a lot of niche shows, I'm not constantly in private but busy enough at these rates, for sure. I wouldn't be comfortable charging less, nope. I don't do shit that makes me uncomfortable anymore. I work hard for my money!

    How much do you charge per minute?
    $7.99 pvt/ 9.99 exl

    Why do you charge this amount?
    bec I am earning most at the moment at this rate (havent played around with higher prices though, since I am compfortable with those prices I am at right now)
    Everytime I have given myself a raise it worked out, prob bec it made me value my customers even more and wanted to spoil them rotten again. Always a great feeling when a raise is working. I am not pushing it firther anymore though, I am content with my prices and my income right now.

    Do you wish you could charge more? Would you feel comfortable charging less?
    I am comfortable where I am at now, I woudnt like to step back and go lower since that would leave me crancky and unmotivated.
    My amount spend in payed chat is at a good % right now with those prices, not to bussy (will be killing my back, body and energy), and not to slow

    What sites do you use?
    Streamate

    I charge £3 on AW which is about $5. I keep a lot more of that than you girls on SM though. On SM my rates were 7.99/ 8.99. Indie i charge $3.99 per min

    I do wish i could charge more but unfortunately there are a boat load of idiot new girls on aw all charging around £1.99 per min which is having a big effect on the rest of us. Otherwise i would be at £3.50. no I don't feel comfortable charging less. When it's too hard to make money at this rate, if ever, i will move full time to making clips. i'm not selling myself short. I do this ONLY for money and not because i'M DESPERATE.

    I usually charge $4.99 but i lower it to occasionally to $3.99 on slow days.. i still voted for $4.99 because that's usually where i'm at. But i won't do any special requests at $3.99 unless it's exclusive which i charge a minimum of $5.99. My logic for this is that i'd rather have 2 or 3 people in my room at $3.99 thus increasing it to $11.99 vs. being stuck with one person at $4.99 because everyone else are being a cheap asses.

    ^ I also don't do requests at all when i'm using my lower rate and encourage to be taken exclusive in which i then charge $5.99 . My logic for this is that i'd rather have 2 or 3 people in my room at $3.99 thus increasing it to $11.99 vs. being stuck with one person at $4.99 because everyone else are being a cheap asses.

    I'm evenly split between two sites right now (Streamate and CMD).

    On Streamate, I charge $5.99 PVT/$7.99 EXC. It's a competitive rate for my ranking on the site and the services I offer. I'm happy with these rates right now.

    On CMD, I charge $3/min flat rate. I chose that rate because it seemed competitive based on similar models' rates. Also, I end up averaging the same amount per minute as I do on Streamate since I keep 75-80% rather than 35%.

    I'm at $3/min at the moment for indy shows. It seemed like a good starting price (and was what I had charged my regs that found me on Skype before I started really going indy), not too high, not too low, and I'm still getting $2.25 to $2.40 per min my cut. However I've kind of been thinking about raising my rates... the problem is that with indy I can't just change it, I have to break the news to all my regs. :/ Most of them just ask if I'm available then tell me they've paid so I feel like it could get awkward going "oh, um, you owe me $x more now."

    I'm also at $3/min at MGF because I wanted to get some positive feedback before I upped them to ~$4/min but now that I know how cheap MGF guys are I'm not sure if that's going to work out. So yeah, I'm pretty much stuck lol. Not that $1.95 to $2.40 a min is a terrible place to be stuck--on IML my policy was always at least $1/min my cut so this is a great improvement--but still stuck.

    How much do you charge per minute?
    Right now on SM I am at 4.04/minute both/P & E and cams I am at 3.99 private chat and 2.99 nude chat a minutes

    Why do you charge this amount?

    I am charging this much because I am comfortable with it for the time being one I am on more regular and rebuild my following I might increase it.

    Do you wish you could charge more? Would you feel comfortable charging less?
    Choosing a cam rate baffles me a little since the traffic is not what it use to be when I started out 10 years, I am sure once I get back into more regular I will find my niche rate.

    What sites do you use?
    Currently on SM and cams.

    indie i charge ~$4.5 a minute. On cb i charge 60-120tk a minute depending on how busy the room is. If it's super high traffic, I bump it up. if there's under 300ppl in my chat, I leave it at 60.
    why do I charge what I charge...

    ...and I honestly hate having to build my room traffic back up on cb if i have 400+ people in there, so if they really want to drag me away for 10 minutes, it'll cost them. 120tk a minute makes it "worth it" in my eyes. indie i charge $4.50 because I still get a better payout (depending on the method of payment) than my low rate on cb. plus, I make them buy a 15+ minute block up front which helps with not getting a ton of cheap wads.

    I've been really interested in using Chaturbate. It seems to be what's outshining other cam sites these days and it's been suggested to me by other cam girls. Hm hm hm..
