All that happens when these documentaries are shown is our business goes a little more down the pan! It's really not something to celebrate.

When are you going to learn that just because it's quiet for you doesn't mean it is for everybody, and that it's fucking DEPRESSING reading about how crap it is for you all the time. Sorry for the rant, but seriously, buck up and work harder, stop whining!

Hi everyone, I'm starting back up on AW, and I'm having trouble getting my mobile number verified so that I can do webcam. I have had them send me the code several times now, and I reply to the text, but then nothing happens. Anyone else have this happen, or know what I should try?
Edit: I figured it out. I can now offer webcam, but not phone/SMS.

Try paying 2-3 credits for direct cam positioning in peak times. You might get a couple of biters :3

Got a question. How do I know when someone buys my underwear on AW? It's already up for sale, some guy said he was gonna buy some but I have no idea how I will know.

You'll get an email from Adultwork giving you the address to post it to. When you post them, you've got to go back to the sale page and mark it as sent. The credits stay in escrow for a week, though.

Yes its been absolute dire particularly since the VAT introduction. I have resisted the urge to 'whine' (mention/refer to it) and have held out (on the whining) since 1st Oct (when it was introduced) optimistically hoping it would revert back to normal, but it hasn't. The recent bag of changes appear have to have left a huge dent.. particularly on my earnings!.... why is it we don't realize we had the good times till they are over!!

Also regarding having something For Sale... I am surprised the AW system does not generate an email/notification when an item that is for sale is due to expire. I think when we put a For Sale/Ad on there, it lasts 3 months approx, however I have lost count of the times when I have gone to my 'selling' page and noticed by accident, that my ad had expired some time earlier... I usually re-list it.. but it would be handy to get an email/notification informing us the ad had or was due to expire... for example I had panties for sale, someone asked me and I said yes they are on my profile 'sales' tab, they then informed me they weren't, I then discovered the ad had expired, but had it not been brought to my attention I may not have noticed it for another few weeks.
Just had a thought perhaps I could put an alert in my phone 3 months from the date I put the ad up.... but am surprised that AW with all its tracking and fancifulness doesnt have this feature. Surely I can't be the only who finds it a bit of a pain and/or is surprised AW don't send out due to expire alerts.

It did for everyone.Actually I had to give it a break,it was so slow it was driving me insane.Other sites are better atm.If you don't splitcam,do it.I have no hopes that aw it will get any better considering that they don't bring in any traffic.

Lots of info on here about splitcamming,you only need a software like verysoft (20$/ year), or you can try one of the free ones but I wouln't advise ,a bit of research and you're good to go.Most sites ask for id/driver license/passport,I suppose you have one of them so you can get verified,if that is what u meant.There are money to be made on other sites when aw is like this.

Ive had nitemares split camming hence now i dont bother anymore ... As for AW its not been brill but its been steady longer working hrs to hit some sort of good target ive been forcing myself on cam alot more now at different times just too pick up new regs like with anything you get what you put into it .... there are still guys there wat dont seem to be bothered about the VAT ... but tbh ive had a good few moan about the new direct cam player IMO that too me seems more of a prob than the 20% now added too our prices .... just wish AW would spend some on a better platform for us all too work on because JCI too me really has become the biggest nitemare ever... we can live in hope that they will one day .... x

The guys have a new interface now their end which is really dumb as they can't easily buy credits from it or switch from group chat to private/ free to paid. I had heard that they dropped it but it seems not. AW are in full on self destruct mode these days.

I just had a look in free...I can see buttons for group and private, and the button for adding credits which links through fine.
5 pages of girls online, which has been the norm this year...it used to be just 3 during the day.

I would say so. You're British (the guys love our accent/s) and as long as you stick to your camming schedule, you will get a regular following. Worth a try, certainly.

I second this. SM has large traffic and there are plenty of men who like exotic looks, accents etc. And you can play the time zones to good effect (evening UK time, you get the mid-day office wanking in the US).

Thank you girls. I just cam during the day...usually 10.30am-2.30pm Mon & Fri, so it would be a bit early in the US. I was concerned about my ranking because of the few hours.

They know when they can't get into our cam room. It doesn't say "you're blocked", and I'm not going to say what the message is on this open forum, but basically they've sussed that they are blocked because they can't get into your cam room.

What a cheek, asking to be unblocked! I go through and block them on everything else once I've blocked them on cam. You can do that in emails and bookings, blocked senders (on the right).

I've actually been making LESS on AW since I turned free chat back on (5 minutes for every 24 hours, hah). These guys just wanna talk about the dildos they're sitting on or whatever. The word "pvt" repels them like nothing else.

They do that just because sometimes they are just window shoppers and some of them are just trolls. For example i have a member" GlovedLover" and he's coming and leaving after few seconds, now he's very experienced, he can stay 1 second, the max was 3 seconds ;). So no worries for crappy losers.

No, this guy did eventually come into private and it happens with regulars too sometimes. Since I started over 4 years ago juscamit has had random server disconnects, with chucking people out of grp or pvt or not allowing them in. Sometimes they can't get into pvt if I'm in paid only but can if I'm in free preview. Plenty of gremlins doing all sorts.

Regulars change too, the more they get of us, the more they get over us. I hate that, when i give one finger, does not mean i am going to give all my hand. And regard the fact they stay just few seconds, is because they have some standards for that day, and they are shopping online, to see who can get all what they want: the look, the make up, etc. One time i said to one of my regulars that i know that he's doing this purposely and he agreed, he said he want to know first( what i wear, what shoes, if any make-up, ect), sometimes doesn't because he's way too horny. So i never believe them. They are crap. I better believe a cam girl, than a wanker. Regard the Group and Private is true, sometimes they are way to horny to use that brain properly, to understand how the system works. Regard the dicconnection of the server, i find it odd too. I noticed that this happen when are more than 750 online( from all categories and not just girls).

But is a VAT of a live cam session, so if they will still pay VAT on Admin, what money they say, they will give us back? Is not very clear yet...

And then why they say that Offering services members are getting money back too? Isn't the Admin Fee and the Featured optins where we pay VAT? Then what money we should get back? is confusing... They will give us what we made from live chat applied on Admin fee and they will apply for pics and vids VAT then? how they will do that?

We do NOT have to pay VAT on our admin fee as we are business customers not consumers.
Upload your HMRC/tax details on > http://www.adultwork.com/VATDetails.asp they need to see details of your vat number if you have one, if not then something showing your national insurance payments, your ltd co details if you are one, or a letter from your accountant or HMRC confirming you are indeed a registered business. Every self employed camgirl is eligible to do this and will have one or more of the documents required. Your manager will upload their own details if you're part of a group so you shouldn't need to do anything.
Any VAT you have paid since October 1st will then be refunded to you.
This new statement from AW is regarding our CUSTOMER'S VAT which they have also been paying since October 1st. Our live services are NOT included under the new VAT rules which only cover services which are "largely automated" and with "minimal human intervention". It has taken them a while to confirm this but now they have, the VAT on our services has been removed and our customers will be refunded :)
Hope that explains it x
