    Default Raise rates when its quiet?

    Do you ladies who do private pay per minute cams, raise your rates if your having a quiet shift!?

    Considered it a few times now and wondered if anyone does this do you find it successful or worse?

    Nope...I keep my prices the same. I never change them because of a slow or busy day. I only change my prices if I'm starting to do new things or if I'm just ready to make a change. I think messing with your prices because it's slow raises uncertainty and makes you question yourself.

    ^^ Not to mention you have to ride the Highs and the Lows.. if you lower your rate and it's a good day you are actually making less money.. and then the next day you decide to raise your rate and it's slow?? well you just made LESS money overall.. Instead of waiting it out. Then you start panicking and changing your rates daily if not hourly and getting all frustrated.... Guys pick the girl.. most guys don't really price check, If you have what they want they don't care how much you charge unless it's something outrageous like $10 bucks a minute and up.. that's steep for most people including myself... So yes!.. Unfortunately in this biz you have slow days and good days so you have to stay even so it will average itself out.. and it sucks that some days we practically work for free.

    Yeah it's best to keep it the same IMO. I only raise my prices when I have a second person with me. Just a dollar more.

    Hence why I'm quitting in 6 weeks lol

    Been doing this for 3-4 years now and just feel I need to move onto other things I want to achieve in life. I don't feel im achieving the things I want and it's stopping me from leading the kind of life I want to lead.

    Yeah camming is VERY hard to get out of once you're in it. 12 years is a crazy amount of time....hats off to you. Are you still sane? lol
    I have found camming as exciting, liberating and enjoyable for the first year. But now I have found myself indoors more or less 24/7 without any social life whatsoever and feeling frustrated. I'm quite a creative person and unfortunately camming doesn't fulfill my creative needs.

    But seriously though 3 years later im frustrated.....12 years is just wow.

    Well?? I am partially sane? I find for me camming did more harm than good.. the only thing good is I was able to support 2 kids by myself without ever a man's help... that's it.. It stifled my creativity as well, my happiness, my joy.. my feelings of normalness.. My social life.. i feel i have to go hide in a dark corner somewhere like I'm with the witness protection program.. My life is filled with darkness and isolation.. that's not how a sagittarian wants to live.. if you know anything about them?? social, happy, bubbly, the life of the party.. I have NONE of that!... I hope it ends soon.. I never expected to sit around for over 12 yrs single and alone and struggling with 2 kids and dealing with the woes of cam the whole time.. It taught me alot of things... But left me with alot of hopelessness, negativity and a cynical nature to the world.. All of which I was not before......All I wanted before cam was more money to support my family and to have hope and opportunity.. I got that part but that's all i got.

    Yes! I'm a fellow sagi too. I really do feel for you and I really hope you do end up having the life you desire sooner rather than later.
    Happiness is the most important thing, we have to just go grab it.

    I keep my prices high already and sometimes occasionally I will do a happy hour for half price which does nothing but keep me at my same hourly rate but I do more work.

    Yeah, that's pretty rough. Personally, I'm a career camgirl. I've been camming for two years, and I do not plan on stopping anytime soon. I'll retire as soon as the money stops! That being said, I try very hard to work on my backup career. I do plan on retiring one day, and I want to make sure I have some solid groundwork done when that day comes. I'm a very creative person, too. I'm sure it's a lot harder with kids, but have you ever tried taking twenty minutes a day to do something for you? You can meditate, design, draw, do a DIY project. It might help create some balance.

    This is so true. Why do the extra work if it results in the same amount? No thanks! Work smarter, not harder.

    Ok so you REALLY get what I am saying.. I don't find that camming is all that good for SAG's unless they have a really engaging social life on the outside or really socialize with other camgirls IRL.. then it would be ok..
