Inspired by toomuchperfume “I’m Not Fancy” post, I think it could be informative to talk about rates. Transparency wrt income/wages is important for labor organizing in general, and can do a lot to illuminate “-isms” in the industry as well.
As an indie Domme, I consider my…
Sorry on behalf of other ProDommes. I def don’t think of my work as “empowering” for what it’s worth (like many SWs I even shudder now when I hear the word!)
I just got a client reference from a Domme who charges $500/hr, but I think that has to be rare. She’s also a WOC. But I would love to know more about fetish rates, as most providers don’t have them listed on their websites. I imagine there is some sort of celling, and if you surpass it you just won’t get very many bookings, if any.
The other thing is that many SWs change our rates throughout our careers. I cringe when I think of what I accepted when I first started, because I was so naive and had no idea what the market was like, so anything above minimum wage seemed extravagant to me!
Curious to hear thoughts from leighalanna and thepeacockangel on this!
I charge 275 an hour for in person sessions these days, with a 25 dollar rush booking fee if they want same day booking (sometimes I raise this if I’m tired or sulky or dislike the client). My phone rate is 1.99 per minute, or 3.50 per min for cam, I charge subs 10 extra dollars for cam shows if they want me to wear something in particular (more if it’s something that’s hard to put on/not something I want to wear).
I also don’t think my work is empowering, it’s work. It’s a decent job, but I’m also a big ol red, and I don’t believe any labor is empowering under capitalism.
I used to charge 250 an hour, but I haven’t noticed a change in bookings since I changed it.
I’m thin, white, standard issue pretty with large (fake) breasts, 25 (real age, think I can pass for a bit younger), upper class accent and manners and not too many tattoos. There’s not much competition in my city, but I do not offer services like strap on, ass worship or golden showers so that reigns in what I can charge somewhat, though I also have some unusual skills and equipment.
For indie doms I understand 250 per hr is about industry standard.
