Is anyone else struggling to get Adult Work to accept proof they're 'in business' for their VAT refund?
I've submitted a NI contribution form and an HMRC letter specifically confirming my Unique Tax Reference. Adult Work messaged saying they had rejected it
Reason: This must be your tax documents with your UTR.
That's word for word what I received. All my other tax documents I have received from HMRC don't have a UTR on them, and I've received plenty. I don't see how you can get any more 'tax document' than from HMRC itself, with my home address, NI number and properly headed paper from the tax office.
I'm getting the feeling Adult Work just want to keep the VAT money they wrongly charged. Is anyone else having trouble, or could suggest a way to get them to accept it? It's totally obvious to anyone who received the documents I'm legit and paying taxes, I've jumped through their hoops and now having been rejected I'm getting pretty annoyed about it. :( Help?

They drove me insane too...and I'm not happy about them having our NI number. I sent them a copy of the front page of my tax return where it states I am self-employed and has my UTR and address etc. It could be that they are still after.

Thanks for replying Katy,
I'm also not happy about the amount of information they need. Ugh, at least if you had hell with them too and it got sorted it's not just me. I've sent a message saying I think I was rejected in error. Maybe it was just one idiot who got it wrong as I definitely gave enough information
I file my tax return online so unless they'll accept a screen grab of that then I'll have to hope they just made a mistake.

You're welcome. Others have provided a screen shot...so long as they can see all the info together. I also took a pic of the section that gave my earnings.

It was the earnings bit they wanted from me before they accepted my stuff (I had submitted proof of UTR and NI). Wasn't happy with my tax statement letter with ALL the other info on it and the profit blanked out. I didn't like that at all, but was backed into a corner really: don't bother submitting anything else and pay the VAT or submit all my financial info to them and pay no VAT.

I just sent a screenshot of my self assessment home section online. All the relevant details are on there. They accepted that no problem.

Does anyone have any tips to get more movie sales on AW? I upload new stuff regularly (and have it auto-tweet) and have a clear cover picture showing what you can expect in the movie, I just wondered what I could be doing to encourage more sales?
Classy_Katy
12-12-2015, 08:17 AM
My content sales are down since VAT was added. Mine sell most when I'm camming or featured for webcam. There is a mad frenzy for movie featuring at midnight but it makes no difference to my sales.

Same here, I sell more when I'm actually on cam. The more you have up the more you'll make too. Make sure they're keyword rich as these can now be searched x
CatBBW
12-12-2015, 12:49 PM
Thanks Katy & Susie. I'm doing all this and having the same experience as you (sales down with VAT, increase in sales when on cam) and I agree that featuring movies makes no difference. Just wondered if I could be doing more to boost sales, cos I do love making and uploading my movies, and I enjoy working on AW.

More movies, more variety, try adding longer ones in the rentals section, it will all help :)

The UTR number is your unique tax reference number, it should be at the right hand side of your statement. Hope this helps.

This is the quietest night I've ever had on this website.
Is it worth paying for directcam positioning? First 5 rows are in group so it looks like it's just me.

It was fairly quiet for me too, only made £5 between 12 - 1am. However I still made my goal and more, just had to up my price and stick around longer x

I find it slumps mid-month but December is usually good...I went on just for a couple of hours yesterday (during the day) and it was very quiet. Thankfully one regular saved my day.

Hey girls... needing a little help with aw! Most threads seems years old too- hopefully the advice is still good though? I worked on here for about 3 weeks in April and was doing ok.... I've come back now after losing a job, even puy audio on since I read that was best thing to do (I just typed before as i felt too awkward to talk at my laptop) but I'm lost! As in, keeping guys in the room to start and wtf to do and say in free chat. I'm going on again now, will do all the tips I've read this morning but damn! Basically no shows at all last night!

Last night was quiet it seems so I wouldn't worry.
I'm not a freechat girl but the general rule is ignore guys asking for freebies, say hi and how are you and look at the camera when people come in the room, have something to keep you interested in the background like a computer game or something so you look excited, and if anyone hurls abuse at you ignore it completely or kick them without responding.
I used to have a sign with my FAQ's on it when I did free chat, it really helped I think

Im pretty sure you can only use JCI on one site, BUT if you're talking about camming on multiple sites then you do not need two computers. Purchase a splitcam software product (I use VerySoft Webcamsplitter) and you can use the different encoders on different sites.

The only way I could think of doing that would be a breach of the rules...I don't know how she's managing to get away with it.

Yes you can use justcamit on different sites at the same time (eg I use it on AW and my site simultaneously), but you can't do it on Just one computer afaik.

so i know this is 'one of those' questions, but January will be my first January on AW, im guessing i need to level up in my bitch hermit skillz and literally have the cam on every second i can....

I'm thinking of not even bothering to cam in January and work on other stuff instead.

Ok so I've been trying to get a hold of dailypay since Friday with no response to reinactivate my Adultwork dailypay account. I have monies sitting in my Adultwork account which I recently made and I need. I contacted Adultwork and they are saying I'm in a contract with dailypay and there is no way to get my monies as dailypay (my group manger) has to contact Adultwork to process any funds as its DailyPays funds! This is nuts! I thought they were a payment processing option but besides that..dailypay needs to contact Adultwork which would be fine if dailypay would even respond? Any of you ladies have any idea on what I can do?
sexysusie

Have you tried all the contact methods above? Don't worry about aw's wording, they blanket categorise all groups the same way. You're not locked into anything with DP x

I get asked if I will pee fairly often
I feel like I should charge tips or set a special for it... is this a thing? I don't rly want to go pvt, pee and they're gone in 2 mins :/
Also I feel like at night people just float around. Seem to get their business done at lunchtime but less £ for me. Sorry I just feel useless at everything atm and lacking a job I thought I could at least get by even if I'm pants at this but...
Classy_Katy
12-16-2015, 10:39 PM
Pee is "a thing"...I have guys who want to see me pee or ones who like to talk about being desperate to pee. I do those shows in private but I don't ask for extra for them as that charge is for fetishes as well as vanilla private shows, but you can ask for a tip on top if you wish. I go to get a glass while they're in private and get a towel for the carpet, just in case. How fast you pee is up to you :)

Record your peeing and make money from that moment over and over again - even a quickie pee clip will sell on AW.

Good for you! Me too! I figure even if I earn nothing, I don't spend anything, so that's just like earning!

DONT refund a special offer - adultwork will refund automatically if not used up within 24 hours! If he comes back in before then it'll use up what time he had left without recharging him x

Question - I've been adding movies to my profile, but when I go to view them, the prices are totally different and MUCH higher than what I'd listed. For instance, one video should've been 5 credits, and it's listed at 22.34 credits right now. I've edited the prices back to their correct price, but the AW system keeps changing them. Anyone had this happen before and know what I can do? Thanks!
Vlodina
12-19-2015, 03:00 PM
Spacecowgirl, the minimum pricing is based on file size. You'll need to get that file down to 5mb to charge 5 credits.
Classy_Katy

For AW, I make my movies 320x180 WMV, MP4s tend to get corrupted.
