How's the JustCamIt using it now on Mac from the web browser ? I'm also on Mac, and I remember you wrote about you can see yourself fine but others that enter your room told you saw just black screen. I had at first trouble getting my Quickcam Vision logitech camera to turn on it kept showing build i-sight. I searched online about how to set it up to stream using Flash and I see others tried it and couldn't get it to work with no solution with getting it to work. The only way to make Logitech to work is by turning on i-sight on another application, and I tried that then Logitech able to show up from the JustCamIt web browser.
I have to do the same thing when I take timed photos from Photobooth leave i-sight on in another application.

Yeah, I open iChat and then click on the video to use my iSight, then I log in to AW and click on JustCamIt in my browser and my Logitech shows up.
I use EvoCam to record videos for my clips4sale store.
And I use a wireless mouse to take pictures with Photobooth, or I just use Preview to grab the window or screen of my cam page and then crop the picture :)
@Jenny, thanks I'll check those out!

I had been approved, so when that happened I was like wtf? I checked my email just a lil while ago, and it said that my post in the thread 'Working on Xmas?" has been approved. So the post itself had to be approved. /:O

Ok I'm having some issues with adultwork. Only started a month ago and some issues have now surfaced. What's the deal with some of my credits not ever being transferable? I started adding them up and there's about $40.79 in credits and $4.96 debits for facillity fee + $4.00 for detailed email so that still leaves $31.83 unavailable to me. I can understand they don't want to pay you more than you've earned but to me I find this a bit peculiar. Also why deduct the connect fee first and then add the credit. that's somewhat backwards especially when to transfer credits it's not counting on the deduction for the cam fee. So that will always leave make the credits look off. I even tried to click on "fix it" negative balance thing and it added weird credits to the acct like .71? But still not able to be transferred so they didn't fix anything.
This is actually worrying me now. For when the customer is out of money then it just kicks them so what's the deal now? Anyone have this issue?

Ok so I did some searching on AW and now I found that they are skimming on your earning. i was wondering why some of my direct cam amounts didnt' make sense like on .33 they took .06 but on 1.36 they took 0.07? that seems completely off. Also the calculations are off as well. I also read without direct cam the skimming stops but with it is where the numbers get alittle funny. If you google AW it will show up a thread last year about someone checking their numbers and realizing things were quite off. Plus I tried contacting them but there isn't an email to get ahold of anyone. I tried sending one through the credits system but I doubt I'll get a response. This is a bit of a bummer for i really don't like doing the booking system due to men trying to get free time. That's annoying. But yeah holding 31+ of my credits seems way off. I think I was so excited thinking I would get 65-70% of my earnings and now I"m wondering is it more like 55 or 45? Ok before I make an assumptions or go off a google posting, does anyone have any info on this?

(Its £ not $ for reference, also daily pay doesnt have these negative balance problems, only normal accounts).
The fix it button is only an attempt to fix the problem, its not a 100% fix.
Heres the AW help guide
Edit: this was posted before your last message as it took me ages to type it sorry.

No worries at all for posting late. I'm just glad someone responded! thank you. Yes I see that the credits of 31.83 would be in GPB SO at the current rate that would be about 48.70 multiplying that by 70% approx $35.00 in USD. Still seems off. I did see their explanation that they don't want to pay you more due to their deductions but why not take that after the transfer like they do with other amounts?
I also understand now the difference between direct cam and direct chat. DC TAKES 5% AND DCHAT TAKES .15 PER MIN.
The only thing I've purchased on the site was the Detailed Emails of 4 Credits but I accounted for this. I'm just not sure why the numbers are not coming out right. Even some of the credits i transfered have been corrected to where they took away from a specific credit to offset some amount?
It seems like when you do booked shows there are no discrepancies in the amounts. It's just an even transfer. But the direct chat and cam seems to make it go off and 35.00USD is way off especially when I go to transfer again and it still says I spent money. To me with the fact that they are not releasing a good number of my credits I should even have that error message.
There also a place where it says that those credits will be issued at a later time but yet it doesn't tell you the "time" that happens. I tried to click on that link but it said the page no longer exists. Can you repost it again please?
Thank you again for responding. I 'm just trying to make sense of the numbers and they don't seem to add up right.

cherryblossom they do credit it back...
but they are very messy, we shouldn't have to worry about that kind of stuff. its kind of nerve racking. Thats the only site I cash out on that I honestly don't know if what I am getting paid is correct. ( between currency conversions, the Facility fee, the 30% fee) And I really hated to admit that.

cherryblossomsinspring: I dont know that link sorry, it may be an old feature. If you can send me the page you seen it on I will look at it.
I dont think your in my service otherwise I would check the numbers for you sorry.
The numbers in my service will always be correct even if AW "may" not be paying out correctly as we go by the turnover page and not the history page.

Yeah i got my first daily pay today, yaaaaay! But it was less than I was expecting. So not worried about it though. Between %ages and conversion rates it's all a bit confusing, so pffffft. Actually somehow after deductions even with currency conversion I ended up with less money in Canadian dollars than I made in Pounds, which is weeeeeird.

Yeah, this is the same for me. I never know exactly how much I'm going to get paid. I just add up my credits and then minus 5-10. It's not exactly accurate but it gives me a better idea.
Do y'all also periodically forget that they have to take out more, and then you're like, "Yeah, I made this many pounds", but it's really this many dollars?
I do all the time. LOL.

I have to convert three times when I'm checking up my earnings on AW. I feel like I'm practicing math: earnings/100*70 is how much I made in pounds...find the conversion rate for $ that will be in my payoneer account...then find the conversion rate from $ to my currency...lol.
It's not hard, really, though.

yeah it is difficult for me to figure out how much I made daily. I hate to ask for it but I am hoping sometime in the future there is a way provided to calculate it.
I'm thinking it might be impossible though, considering timezones, conversion rates, etc etc. Seems like it would be extremely difficult..

I agree with the conversion issue as well. I think my biggest problem is how they just decide to hold some of the money back with that whole negative balance thing. Now it went up from 9.59 credits being held and now it's 21.11 credits. Like whoa? why are you holding that much now?
Also their current pound amount is never current. It's always lower than whatever the current exchange rate is. I do think they skim alittle off the top but I'm not complaining. I'm getting checks right now so I do have to wait abit longer then most but it's always a nice surprise when a check just ends up in my mail box. I'm now trying to request a check weekly so they come every week like clockwork. Speaking of which I need to get on it!
Ohh and loving the DIRECT IM! WHOA . It's the best way to work when you can't get on cam and know most guys will be done over the phone in 2 mins!
I really do wish more guys booked cam shows so I could get that full 70% instead of the 65% and weird skimming issues. But once again. I'm happy as a clam! hehe no pun intended! hahaa!

For dailypay users its pounds to usd.
but for non dailypay users its pounds to euros to usd which would give a little less than expected. then the banks also take their share. (banks dont take a share when using dailypay either).

Princess Jenny,
I'm in the UK and I do DirectCam and Direct IM (when I can't be bothered doing cam lol) .
I have a question -
I read on AW that if you offer Free Mode your profile goes higher in the listings, so I ticked to offer 5 mins free per member per 24 hours. Otherwise they would just stay in free mode pestering me and never pay for group / private. Limiting it to 5 mins would mean they get a chance to see me but then HAVE to pay before they come in again.
but........
for some reason although I've clicked 5 mins max free time per customer, they just get kicked out after time up and then re-enter straight away for another free 5 mins!!! grrrrr.
How do I stop them from doing this?
Eternally grateful to you for your AW wisdom,
L x
PrincessJenny

Hi. As far as I know your method is correct.
I would recheck the details here and make sure its "Max client free time: 5mins" and I would maybe change the 24hours period to another number just to test it.
With these settings you mentioned I dont see any reason why they can re-enter like that sorry.
There is one known bug with freemode that allows members to gain basically unlimited access without time restraints but I dont think it applies in your situation and I dont wish to post it on a public forum.
The directcam listings and split into 5 different areas, by enabling freemode you move from the 4th level to the 2nd level although alot of client would automatically have a quick look at the free rooms then move directly to the paid rooms as they may believe higher quality (and english speaking) performers exist there.
From past experience and checking out stats on AW there is a fine line between earnings on freerooms and non freerooms. Its usually if you have free on and arent picking much clients up you turn it off and try again then vice versa until you gain a steady flow of clients.
Sorry I couldnt be of much help on this one :)
Sapphire1987
01-27-2011, 08:51 AM
Thanks anyway Princess Jenny :)
I will try moving it to a different time re - 5 mins max in every 10 hours or something.
I don't know why, but it drives me insane lol when guys come in then get kicked as free time up, then come in again immediately. They know why they are being kicked ("sorry baby used all of free time") but they just come back in anyway.
I'd like to find a way to give guys a small preview as I think it would encourage them to go group or private, but I hate hate hate chatting to freeloaders all day and night.
Sometimes if you ask if they want to go to group/paid after chatting for 20 mins (!) in free , they just leave the room without a word. >:(
Maybe one of those free introductory video clips on my main profile would work...
hmm...:-\
By the way (off-topic) , I saw you recently get hounded off another forum for giving advice. I wasn't happy about that myself.
PrincessJenny
01-27-2011, 09:01 AM
Yeh I think using a short free vid clip can work and using some non nude images in your free gallery can get clients quite well.
That other forum is riddled with wrong info (in my opinion) and I got myself a ban lol :D The admin/mod seemed to have it in for me.
Sapphire1987
01-27-2011, 09:27 AM
I might go for offering group and private only but writing something like "see a free preview of me in my main profile" on my strapline. I could do with just getting on with housework etc until the bleeps go off and I get a paid request instead of chatting for hours on free chat when only 10% will actually pay, especially on DirectIM.
I do like that forum usually, however I think the way they started on you and banned you was out-of-order. You were only trying to help, not spamming or anything! And the "holier-than-thou" attitude to those who use AW as their main source of income. I think it depends on the area you operate in. Where I am I's say 95% of escort/cam activity is either on established agencies who rank high on google or AW for independent escorts / cam. I am listed EVERYWHERE and still get 95% from AW, so I'm obviously worried if it's down for a day. Not all of us are SEO experts or like to use "Punter" forums for advertising.
