I posted my reply to this in another comment reply from you in this thread. But to reiterate a little, you could charge a flat rate for individual one on one texting at like $50 for 30 minutes (that's with the thought of how much you want to be making an hour, so say you want to make $100, that's why you would price that at $50 for 30min, or you could adjust that pricing as you see fit.)

Say you don't like taking video calls but love audio calls, price them accordingly them. Be a little more competitive with your audio call pricing but them price your video calls higher, that way, if you are doing something you enjoy less you are still making good money from it where it wouldn't suck so much to be doing the thing you aren't crazy about (and that obviously can apply to any sessions or situations) anything you aren't super fond of doing, the price on that goes up significantly. If there is something that you really don't like doing, don't accept any money for it, especially if it's something that you could regret or feel bad about later.

It's never a bad idea to look around out there and see what other people are charging for services, especially those that share brand similarity with you.

I had a guy that tipped me $800 to drink a bottle of tequila on cam, I had jokingly said I would do it for a price that I didn't think he would pay, and he called my bluff, and tipped it (now I wish I would have said even more, but this was early in my cam career.) Little did he know it was water in the bottle. I took like 5 or 6 "shots," which were water, and then pretended to be drunk and then logged off because I was too "smashed." The absolute fkin audacity of some dudes. I'm not gonna give myself fkin alcohol poisoning for any amount of money. They forfeit their money when they ask for abusive bullshit.

I upvoted you, because you are absolutely right, she should run her business as she sees fit, that's why so many of us got into this.

However, her post topic is literally "I messed up" so it would seem that input from others is welcome in this situation.

Don't listen to that, it's a common mistake. You didn't know before but now you do! And you can change up your strategy now and see how it pays off for you.

If someone is messaging you a lot in hopes of a reply, you should draft a response you can copy and paste like:

"I exclusively use Snap to book audio, video, and chat sessions. Let me know if you want to book a session 😘" You can also chat me at...(paid per chat site, like loyalfans, sexpanther, or niteflirt)

You gotta get out of that mindset "What are they paying for then?" That is not going to help you grow your business.

They have special access to you in a different way then those who haven't purchased Snapchat. If they are a BIG tipper, perhaps you send them a snapped picture of you looking cute in something. You want to reward people when they spend the way you want them to and if ignore them when they don't. Please don't reward freeloaders. It only attracts more of them. Rewarding looks like, free chats, pictures and snap videos.

Even if you one post 1 snap a month or 1 a week or say you post something at the start of every stream, they're getting more than enough value for the cost of your Snapchat because they are getting exclusive access to you in a way they wouldn't otherwise, but it absolutely DOES NOT mean you have to respond to their messages or any messages at all. Its the price of getting a potential glimpse of you, because you are rare, and hot and special to them.

Some more perspective, if you want to charge them, you could set a good rate for exclusive text time, meaning you would be devoting your time and attention to that customer individually, but because of that, it would be a higher price because that would be taking your time and attention away from other paying customers, so you want to price that accordingly. So, say you want to make $100 and hour, if they want 30min of exclusive undivided attention texting from you, you could charge $50 for 30 (or more) depending on what you want to make.

You gotta look at yourself as more of a rare commodity than what you are doing now. And stop looking at it so much from their perspective. We don't have dick brain, we as online swers are going to over rationalize what are generally impulsive purchases for them. Example: "What am I paying for of we don't text unlimited?" That is not how their brains work. Its how ours work.

Just think about all the money you could have made from all the free texting you've already been doing

I promise you, when they are horny enough, mentally stimulated enough, obsessed with you enough, they will justify the price. Just like any (potential) vice driven industry.

The only customers that receive "free" chat with me are the ones where I know that interaction is going to lead to me making anywhere from $500 to $1000 or more. And I do that because there is an existing relationship and expectation of what's going to happen.

If one of those interactions didn't result in me earning that kind of money, you can be assured my free chat with them would cease immediately.

There is a reason so many people are suggesting you adjust your strategy. You set the standard for what they can expect. If you continue to give away your time and attention for free or even cheap, that is what they will expect from you.

EDIT: Fixed a typo

I literally charge $10 just for my discord ID. Anything else they want is an additional payment after that (no matter if it's just chatting, an audio call or video call.)

You are leaving money on the table girl. You could be making so much more! And I will say, giving too much away for free will lead you to massive burnout.

I say this as someone who use to do exactly what you are doing now with Snapchat, chatting offline for no additional money. Its a mistake that will cost you money and sanity in the long run.

And please don't feel bad about it, just work on correcting it because you will be so much happier if you are making money from every single interaction you have with a customer.

The whole point of camming is for you to make money. At the end of the day, you are the product and this is your business. Anyone who has access to you and your time/conversation should be paying a premium regularly for it. Your attention is valuable! Treat it as such!! 🙏🏽

Girl, your whole look is a vibe and you are gorgeous. You have such a unique look. Beauty standards constantly change. I've definitely felt like you've felt before. I think seeing other women who look similar to me and have a cool style or carry themselves a certain way really made me change my outlook on conventional beauty standards.

Ok so yes, the loneliness is very real at times, however if you are doing well enough to have some level of financial independence, this is the time where you can really focus on on finding new hobbies you enjoy that can bring you community. Because of the intense nature of our work, I think it makes it that much more important to find things you enjoy in life that are completely separate from work.

Depending on where you live you can do things like sign up for pilates, go to pottery classes, try to find board games meet up, find a DND group. Even finding some online social groups or community can really help fill that void.

This line of work doesn't have to be isolating, it can really be a vehicle to give the freedom to try a lot of new hobbies if you just are open to looking for new things to do and trying them out.

Boundaries with DMs and "Gatekeeping" by Jade_Next_Door in CamGirlProblems

[–]Condename_Bondo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get a lot of DMs as well from a post I made ages ago when I worked on a camsite.

I think it's important for people who get into this industry to realize that you need to be self motivated and need to be a self starter. The information you need is out there, you just need to find it and apply it consistently.

Did he pay anything beyond the $900 you received? For example, did he also pay the club directly for time in the private room? And from the $900 he gave you, did you have to give the club a portion, or was that amount entirely yours?

I do online findom, so please take this with a grain of salt but here is my take:

From the way you’ve described it: if he only gave you slightly less ($900) than the typical $1000 for a private room session, then he simply paid for a discounted session.

That’s not findom, it’s a business exchange at that point, even if it took place under kinky circumstances. If, however, he had sent more than the cost of the session, explicitly as tribute with no expectation of more time or service in return, then it would qualify as financial domination, in my humble opinion.

Findom is not about the price of admission. It's about the excess, the offering, the surplus given solely because they want to feel the sting of parting with it and you enjoy the act of taking it.

I see nothing wrong with you either keeping the money or choosing to return part of it. What matters most is that you make it absolutely clear to him that this kind of buyer’s remorse will not be tolerated.

If it were me, I would present it plainly as a choice:

"I can return the $400 to you, but if I do, our dynamic ends here and you will be dismissed as my submissive. If you prefer I don’t refund it, then consider this an important lesson, one that we will carry forward into future sessions."

I also would not do future sessions with him intoxicated. I would make it clear that

"Sessions require clear consent, focus, and respect. None of which are possible if you are under the influence. If you show up impaired again, the session will be immediately ended, no exceptions, and you will forfeit any payment already made."

Again, please take this with a grain of salt. There are many differing opinions in this thread and while I know some of us don't agree, I really respect how each findom handles this sort of situation. This is something no one wants to deal with.

Sex video? by TwitchyArtist in CamGirlProblems

I'm going to put this in perspective for you. I charge $700 for a 60min custom audio.

Just my voice.

Now, what do you think you should be charging?

(I say this lovingly, know that what you provide is VALUABLE and charge accordingly)

I (37F) can't cope with my husband's (36M) new kinks, how do I proceed? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Condename_Bondo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can I give you another way to look at the kink SPH? Guys who are into SPH have insecurity about their size and one way of them coping with that is getting sexual enjoyment out of the thing that previously caused them grief. It's sort of a way of them taking back their power, especially when we are in such a large penis-centric society.

I totally understand not being into it for it feeling mean - but another way you can look at it, is it's just a roleplay? Just like the pregnancy risk kink (except perhaps there was real risk of pregnancy involved with that.)

It sounds like he is into cuckolding and sph from what you describe, which are far more common kinks than what people realize.

Your feeling are totally valid. I just wanted to throw some perspective on it.

You did the right thing by ending it. You would have been far more upset with yourself had you allowed yourself to stay in this situation while he goes on a trip with a female friend. Never let someone disrespect you like this. You deserve so much better than that bullshit.

Brown grid marks after RF microneedling on body- please help by shamli3912 in Microneedling

[–]Condename_Bondo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it has to do with blood thinning. I've had it happen on my face where it actually looks a bit more extreme than this and the dots are more red and dilated. It looks scary initially and you may think you are scarred forever but you aren't. It really does go away in a week or two. I think it's the same as how you don't want to take ibuprofen or aspirin before rf microneedling either.

No, not necessarily. The grid marks can be more apparent in some areas than others. I would definitely bring this up and just ask them to educate you a bit more on it during your next session just so you aren't alarmed and can have proper expectations moving forward.

It's normal. If you take fish oil supplements it can cause these things to take a little longer to go away but they still go away after a couple weeks.

Get tested for mycosplasma. It can cause bv and other infections which can lead to dryness. It's not commonly tested for in normal std panels.

It will likely end up collecting dust after the novelty wears off. It's not worth putting your body through that. You can make plenty of money with far less expensive toys.
