So I've started again on free chat, since it does dramatically increase my hourly earnings usually... am I allowed to have a whiteboard with non-advertisement messages?

I used to have a sign with my username in the back, just to make sure if someone decided to record.
I never use free chat though, imo it's a waste of time but I'm sure you're allowed to use one in freechat too.

I'm sure you are allowed to have a whiteboard with messages in the background.
Just don't mention your website / twitter etc on it, because AW does not like it.

Yes it always happens to me.

any idea on how to fix it?

Do you use direct cam positioning? Then not all the money is your money because you have payed for the positioning. Read the info section on the "transfer credits" page, towards the end there is a link to click "if you want to balance your credits click here" type of thing, when you click it balances it out automatically so that you are left with a positive balance. However, sometimes it fails if it cannot find the exact amount to "untick".

That said, I think they have changed it now because when I go to transfer credits page I don't see any negative balance anymore even though I used positioning and feature.



Nope! I don't use it. Even if i uncheck boxes it gives me the same notification. AW fixed it before 3 times and eventually apologised, but this time i got a rather passive aggressive response telling me i 'clearly hadn't read' the help articles. Useful! I literally cannot withdraw my credits at all.

Hi, I know this is kind of dumb, but if you decide to send text-IM only, do you just log into JCI as usual after you've changed your settings? I want to maximize the time I'm able to make money but since my video is still showing in JCI before logging in I'm a bit paranoid about being on there in all my unmade morning glory.

Yeah after you change the settings via profile settings, you log into JCI as normal. The video stream screen usually displays "chat only" over the screen and that's how you know you're on IM.

Yes, and it says something over your text to that effect - "text chat only" or something like that. So you are sure. And you can see it on your profile too when you are logged in for IM only. Just remember to change your prices before you do webcam again, you'd kick yourself you you were doing private directcam fisting your ass for £1/min. LOL

Another random question - sorry! - I am updating my profile info and I have ticked the options of what I do / don't offer as normal etc. However I wondered what is the best way to say on my profile that I don't offer anal, toys, etc. without being too negative? I thought about a list of my don'ts but that seems too harsh and off putting, and obviously I don't have room to list all my do's instead as an exhaustive list! I know guys don't really bother to read that much, they always ask me for stuff I don't do. Anyone have any ideas of the politest way to say that I don't do x y z on my profile?

11-04-2015, 02:08 PM
Emphasise that you offer an intense sensualised service, more like real life girlfriend, with all the added fun of a twisted fetishistic mind. that's how I portray myself and I get exactly the kind of customers I like - mostly fetish, guys who love the more sensual aspects of camming. Once they see you like that they don't tend to be pushy. i rarely get the guys who want me to pound myself with a toy, and can go whole days sometimes without even taking my clothes off! x

So I wondered how popular DirectChat and Skype bookings are on AW these days? At the moment I can't DirectCam (ancient laptop can't handle the encoder anymore) and have been logged in for DirectChat and Skype bookings only all week (9 - 4 daytimes). I have been on the first page of both tabs the whole time I've been logged in and the only Skype bookings I've had so far were people I've driven there myself from my Twitter/snapchat and had no calls at all!

I just wondered how busy these two things are these days so I know if it's just me or not! Is this normal?

Classy_Katy

That sounds pretty normal Sophia, I'm afraid to say. I remember a while back I had myself featured daily Mon - Fri for phone chat and didn't get a single call. I'm just on weekdays around 10am to 3pm. I find with phone chat, I'll get 2 or 3 calls in a day or nothing at all for days.

Having a whiteboard in freechat is ROCKING MY WORLD.
It means I can ignore everyone who asks 'hey bb du u escort' 'bb where u live' 'bb how old r u' etc because it means they haven't read the board.
The people that DO talk to me in free are interested potential customers only, and if not they speak to me respectfully cuz they know I mean business haha.
I love adultwork.

Can anyone explain to me how the featuring system works? I want to be on the front page occasionally but I don't want to pay crazy amounts of credits for it.

Is it just me who's having regular Romanian cam girls trying to camp out in their rooms?

The first 3 hours of my shift 6pm-9pm were HELL. Soooo slow. Tons of rude freeloaders. "You won't show me your stockings for free? Are you serious? Wasting my time bitch"
The last 3 hours til midnight were amazing, my favourite guy came in and I tripled my goal :D
Haven't noticed any romanian girls, although I would like some so I can turn on their cam and make them give me a free show for wasting my time or leave cuz they don't want to...or would that be really mean? :L Seems like a good way to get rid of them lol

You sure they`re camgirls?I ask because mostly are in studios,log in and mind their business.I can`t get them as I am romanian and obviously blocked my country,instead I get romanian guys sometimes,some would use proxy and pop in.Why not just block Ro?You won`t be getting customers from here ,just time wasters because that`s how our men are,they don`t pay for pussy lolol.

Well I looked at the ladies online and their names (the ones who came into my room) are there, showing as waiting for a show. I don't think I've ever had a Romanian man in my room. Good point about blocking the country, thanks :)

The best to do really.You`re not missing business doing it.
I get the ocassional "it`s so slow today for me " camgirl and I find it annoying.Just the other day had one.Maybe it wouldn`t be so slow if you took good care of your room instead of being in mine,or do something productive like splitcam.I block them if I recognise the name from the website or they start complaining for a slow shift.

I'm going to block India as well, because ALL the guys are either beggars, freeloaders, or want to marry me. Never a show from them.

I actually get a lot of guys from India and Middle eastern countries spending a lot of money.
I have a regular who loves spoiling me and always emails me before logging in so I can up my rates to 6 credits a minute in group.
When I am in group at 6 credits a minute, for some reason it is always indian or middle eastern custies who join my group.

Of course they're all like "you should come here and I will give you your weight in gold" etc etc.

So I just sit there like.. Tell more about that and please go into explicit detail while you're paying 6 credits a minute.

I used to think like that, 4 years ago. Since then, I have had many (and moreso recently) RO camgirls hang out in my room who don't want to converse (except for *sticky out tongue* and *winky face*) and I don't recall one single Romanian MAN in free, let alone paying. So Romania has been blocked.

I've blocked India for now because I got sick of the begging to show something and telling me they want to marry me. Never ever ever ever has my flirting, hustling, and downright dirty leading them on EVER led to a paid show. I have had an influx of them recently, and I don't like them taking my attention away from the room or basically disrupting the flow of the other (potential customers) guys' convos. I may unblock India in a few months to see if anything's changed.

I haven't blocked any country that I've had a paid show from. I get most of my freeloading idiots from right here in the UK, but it's also where I get most of my paying customers from.

I totally understand where you are coming from , I have also been camming for 4 years + , I don't thankfully get many girls that sit in my room and not say anything . I get the odd few coming in asking for advice , what am I doing wrong , are you quite etc ... but I am always polite and answer there questions as long as it is not taking me away from guys that a currently in my room.

I have had a few guys from India which I have no problem with and one of them is a reg of mine he is a nice guy , thankfully I have not been asked for my hand in marriage.... yet lol.

I really don't mind who is in my room or where they are from as long as they are not rude , begging me to show , view there cams etc .... I see every single last person as a potential customer and it works for me even though it might not work for another.

Each to there own !

My room must be invisible because i never get other models, ever, period! I don't get many guys from random countries either and don't have anywhere blocked. There are countries where camming is illegal, or where the average wage per month is less than a camgirl charges per show, in those cases I can totally see why some models prefer to block them. in fact many sites have certain countries blocked by default for those reasons.

Your turnover is shown here http://www.adultwork.com/CreditsTurnover.asp


If you've verified your self employment details with Adultwork on this page http://www.adultwork.com/VATDetails.asp you're exempted from the VAT they now charge on their administration fee. So the amounts shown on your turnover page minus 34% (always works out as this for me, including webcam, directcam, and phone) will be roughly what you get in your bank. If you're still paying the VAT on the admin fee then it's more like minus 40%. If you've paid for featuring and positioning you'll need to remember to minus that too.

Whatever you get in your bank you then owe tax on to HMRC or whatever government body is in your country, paid through self assessment.
