    Default Raising rates and getting NO business

    Hi ladies, I have a question so I recently decided to raise my rates a little bit and it seems like I cannot get a cam show for the life of me. My rates weren't even high to begin with. I was around 3.59/3.99 per min private and I just went up to 4.99/min private and now I am sitting on cam for hours with not a single show. I have never been a top earner to begin with as I can only work 4 to 5 hours a day due to chronic illness. The site I work on mainly is SM. I play around with other sites and it's just less traffic and I am not a token site girl.

    I also raised my Niteflirt ad rates to 1.50/min from .99cents/min and now i can't even get a phone call. It seriously feels like these men go on strike anytime i raise my rates. I end up lowering them but I don't want to keep lowering them anymore because I am really struggling to make ends meet as is. Do you have any suggestions on how I can start getting business at my new rates which are not even high? Is this typical that guys dissapear as soon as you raise rates even a little bit? Do you think I should stick to my new rates? I am just so frustrated with this because I really need to make money asap. I also film clips and they do sell but I average about 100-150/month which is also a little bit. Any advice would really help/ Thank you.

    Money is energy. it will take a certain frequency for somoene to buy at that rate. You only need one person to buy at that new rate to make you feel confident you can do this.

    Yes there is a waiting period of getting someone to adjust and pay your new rate. but once you get that one hit you want another one.

    Just be patient on the new rates. SM if you have the highest internet speed you can get and computer specs i-core 5 or higher then its a matter of when. It might take a month to adjust to the new rate, but really it just takes one person to buy the new rate where you are like yea I deserve that money.

    So you really spend all that time waiting energy keeping yourself in a mindset that yes I deserve that money. until you get it.

    Thank you, the night i raised my rates i got shows and then it just stopped after that night. So i think thats where i get discouraged because i did good that night and then it all just stopped and then i think to myself I am not even charging that much i know other girls who charge alot more and do well so why can't I .. It just discourages me i guess

    I think your new cam rate is fine.

    I will say that your new phone sex rate is fine but as an ULTIMATE GOAL. You started at 99 cents per minute. Jumping to $1.50 per minute overnight is a little drastic for these phone sex guys. I started at 99 cents per minute my first two years on NF. Then I increased my rate by 10 cents per minute every 2 months until my girls were at $1.69. Give that a try. It should work if you do the increase gradually for phone sex.

    Any given night (or week!) on cam can be slow, and 90% of the factors are things out of our control. The site might be too glitchy for guys to use, there could be a big football game on, holiday spending, not payday yet, too many other girls online at the same time, etc. Whenever I have a slow night, I think it's because I'm ugly or boring, when the truth is it's most likely something completely out of my control Plus, you never know how much a higher-rate girl is making on a slow day. She could be having a slow night as well!

    You're also replacing your older customers (the ones who are used to your lower rates) with higher spending customers who will take TIME to find you. A lot of income is generated by regulars, and you're re-building your pool of regulars from scratch.

    Trust in the process, you can do it You've probably heard of the Raise Your Rates Challenge thread, but in case you haven't it's here: https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/sh...ates-Challenge!

    I keep my rates fairly high on all sites £4 on aw, $6 on nf, $10 on sw, only on aw did i raise them incrementally as i've been there for years and it took me at least 3 to realise something - guys don't care about your price. If the shows are drying up there is generally always something you can do about it, and that nearly always comes down to promoting yourself. The other thing that helps is NOT just relying on one site. If you're dependent on one you'll be sensitive to the slightest changes, whereas if you have a couple or three where you can make money, you will be far more confident to sit through the ups and downs. I'd say whack your rates up to whatever rate you WANT them to be, not just what you think you can get, and have at least one other site that you split with or alternate shifts on, ideally a private based site.

    What I have found is that i get the same rate of shows whatever i charge, because they all even out over a week or month. The difference is the money is so much higher. It only takes half the customers to make what you were before, so even if the shows are fewer, you will still make more. You might want to build yourself a little buffer first before you try this, just to give you the confidence you at least have that money sorted. And ensure you are working on promoting yourself with social media and seo'ing the heck out of everything x

    Every time I raise my rates, I lose a few regs and it takes time to get new ones. But it has always been worth it. My rates are $4/min for indy cam, and $2.49 on my NF phone lines. I plan to increase both eventually. I agree with sexysusie that there are a lot of things you can do about it. Promoting yourself is huuuge. I started making much more money when I created a website, because guys were finding me through Google. If you have a niche or fetish that you cater to, that really helps. Also, making sure that you have lots of tags on whatever site you're on, like Streamate. Have high quality pics, good descriptions for yourself, and market market market. Watch what your favorite camgirls are doing, and follow their lead. Don't give up.

    I bumped my rates like this overnight on NF and didn’t notice a decrease in calls. Calls are usually a little shorter because they burn through their money more quickly now, but I don’t particularly care. It still amounts to an increase in income for me, and it almost completely eliminated the one minute wankers. I don’t see a decrease in call volume unless I bump my rates up to 2.99, which I will do occasionally for reasons I don’t want to state on a public forum. I think this is a YMMV thing.

    No offense. And this is directed at all the other cam girls filling up my inbox wanting 'free game'.
    I'm helping the op, because she helped me when I was stuggling with something major.
    I would gladly take the time to help you. But that entails watching your cam for a day or 2. Calling or Skyping with you to give you my suggestions.
    It takes away from my cam time, and from all the other things I have to get done.
    If you're really serious, you can cash app me. My fee is $100 per hour.
    Thanks so much.

    I had someone do this for me once and I learned so much from someone watching me. For someone new to cam or struggling I think it would be well worth it.

    Keep in mind that there are a ton of things going on in the sports world right now, and that most guys don’t want to fap while they’re watching a game. It’s also the end of the month, which is often a little slow until guys get paid again. It may not be that you’re doing anything wrong; you might just need to wait out the games and for your customer base to get their paychecks.

    Your rates aren't crazy high really, I wouldn't worry about losing business because of your rates.

    When I put my rates towards the more expensive end I started getting way better customers and way less 1 minute wonders.

    But, I see you are bashing me over in the ladies only thread, so I'm going to respond here.
    I know you're upset that just a few weeks ago, YOU were the one to message me out of the blue and ask for free game.
    And when I told you what I charge, you refused my help.
    However, I can't help but notice, that you recently posted how you are going to go on a vacation, where you'll be doing some heavy partying.
    Dire situations, you say?
    Hmm.

    How on earth are you going to report someones post when you're the one being aggressively rude and asking people to cash app you? YOU are the one who put yourself out there. It doesn't matter that you were only speaking to the op, this is a support forum. People are going to slide in your dm's every once and awhile. If you want to be particular about who you help then you should send them a pm first. You can sale cammodel services here. That's no problem, but not like this.
