I've had a guy ask about a BG shoot tonight, and because i need some work this week (we all have bills) i lowered my BG fee to ?275, and that was still too bloody much! where the fuck am i going wrong here? i've got a kid to feed, bills to pay and a house to run, if i'm too expensive at 275 i may as well just quit now!


I've got no work this week at all, and i hear the 'it's out of my budget' line far too often!!!!


If togs and producers wanna book a model, don't insult them and expect them to work for the same price as a street whore FFS!


rant over!

You'd be surprised - I've been on set for 6, even 12 hours, for one scene.

Though in that case it's normally all the non adult stuff that takes up time, esp if multiple locations are involved.

Basically if you tell a model what the job is, and how long it will take, you'll get a decent quote. If you want multiple scenes, agree them for a day rate.

That's bang on Paul, if people email me with what they actually want, instead of 'what are your rates?' then i can reply with my fee, if they can't afford it then say so!


There's far too many timewasters in this industry, but equally some amazing people that i've met and had the pleasure to work with!

yep you right hun,
I struggle like fuck sometime and I havent made a penny back yet, and think I do well paying them a rate they deserve, I just dont book them if I'm short one month until I definatley have the money.

Trinity my advice to you would be, dont accept anything else, there arent that many directors, producers who wont pay the going rate, unless they are amateurs, which there is nothing wrong with, but they need to realise even though you may drop alittle here and there to help them out, they still have to make it worth your while and if they do want a horny video for thier own use they still have to pay for it and it comes with a price.

Nothing wrong with models working with amateurs and there is some nice people out there and I used to be one myself so its good that models do that, just be careful of the tight ones.

Paul

It will be with me too one day,

aspecially since you moving to my neck of the woods or at least the north east. But hence why I havent yet, the above post. Money and time, i'm full up at the mo playing models the rates they deserve lol.

But when I do book you its coz I have the time, my schdule is free and have the date in mind so I wont cancel. Its never steered my wrong before so far.
plus you do bukkakes so thats a winner in my book

Paul

Lmao the tight ones! prime example of a 'tight one' was asked to do a shoot, basically to be at a studio for 4.5 hours, for ?150! it wasn't just the money that made me say no, other things as well. but for that amount of time it's not worth it and i may as well go and work in asda!


I don't mind working with amateurs, have met some really nice people, but it's bugging me that i drop my rates and they have the neck to say it's too much, if you can't afford it, wait til you can!

Nothing better than upfront honesty!!

I'd rather someone insult me than waste my time, it's precious and profitable! I'm trying to make it as a model, I'm managing all my own sites on my own as well as escorting to keep the cash flowing. It's damn hard work and the last thing I wanna do at night is discuss fees for something that after 15 emails they decide they can't afford lol.

I still need to alter my fees x

correct I agree wiht you there, god trinity we are taking over this thread arent we lol

That's what gets me, the need for millions of emails!
