YOu are pretty and seemingly energetic. I would advice on you to replenish your port with some better pictures where your looks/body/expressions are showcased. Some of your picture currently on your port is screaming great work by the photographer w/o presenting your case.
Why is this not in your port https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 5#19034315 ?

I'm curious to hear your opinion, this is such a touchy subject for so many even when you're just trying to establish a reasonable baseline.

Your website has some great pictures - I personally loved the lady with the birthday candle. But I find your MM port monotonous. I would suggest you revamp your port and add diversity to it. For now, going strictly by your MM port _ I shall suggest TFCD.

The expressions in most of your pictures need improvement. Also your port is monotonous, and a no nudity clause brings your marketability down significantly.

I am gonna say about $30/hr

Need to state your vital stats- your profile says Waist: 0" Hips: 0" - which is not helpful. I will advise on getting some more pictures uploaded maybe working on TFCD.

I'm game, but I suggest that you check out my Flickr page because most of my work is concert and event photography, though I'm working to balance it out.

TFCD is your still best bet...You have long shapely legs and a commendable figure. But need better port to be marketable.

This is actually something I'm curious about myself. I don't charge at the moment so I'm not only curious as to how much but also when it would be a good idea to charge for my time?

You have a lot things going for yourself. High cheekbones, a proportionate figure, seemingly long legs, an expressive face...You could potentially start charging as soon as you have some more pictures in your portfolio...show some variety. I would start at $45/hr
