Its best to be very matter a fact. Keep a poker face. Throwing money at them to me doesnt breed loyality. Especially throwing it at a girl who can only make about $6-8 a hr in the real world, $100 a hour is a very fair price.

If I have already shot someone before, I will usually offer more money the second time if they are not shooting with any other sites--I typically use it as an incentive to do the shoot sometime soon because I am near the tail end of photos I have taken of them and there is a demand.
I don't tell them this. It is worth a bit more to ensure they show up and not play a back and forth game of scheduling tag to lock a date.
Ironically, a model friend of mine suggested I book the shoot, and if the girl balks at anything too explicit to just cut it short... note, my model thread has not read this thread. I understand that the common reaction is to cut through someone's bullshit--but some in this biz take it to a very high level to get what they want.
