where do you find how much you've made ? In the just cam it application I see my gross pay but is that what I will get paid or will they take a percentage out of the amount I am seeing under gross pay? Also I'm in the usa

Go to My Details > Credits > Credits Statement. You'll see a list of your income activity. For each show, you should see two lines that look something like this:
[Date] [Time] Debit DirectCam - Facility Fee dudebro69 -0.25 [your total balance]
[Date] [Time] Credit DirectCam dudebro69 5.00 [your total balance]
So 5.00 is the total amount that dudebro spent on you. The -0.25 is the 5% deduction that's paid to JustCamIt. Of the remaining amount (4.75), you get 70% (3.33). You have to do the 70% math on your own. Then you'll have to convert your credits from GBP to USD, and that's based on the date that you cash them out, I believe. It's a pain in the ass, but I usually find that I'm pleasantly surprised when I finish doing the calculations.

Ahhh AdultWork.
I love this site, think it'll always be my favourite but I think "twirl" has become my least favourite word, it's even put me off the chocolate bars! "Could you stand?" "Could you give us a twirl?"
I've taken to posting an automatic phrase when they say that (I think Vlodina suggested it), I don't like to sound automatic but it saves me from giving them massive evils!
Yes, that "Give us a twirl" crap has to be one of the dumbest free chat requests I've ever heard. Do I look like a fucking ballerina to you? :P

If I install the JCI software on my new PC (same Aw account), will it remember all the people I banned on my old computer/JCI?

Yes. Thank you! x
CatBBW: I am not sure, planning on upgrading computer soon myself so will probably have the same issue. I guess they might appear on your kicked list when you install the software..otherwise I guess they could be unblocked. x

No,it won`t.
Yep, just found that out.
So...anyone know how to stop JustCamIt from crashing my laptop when in Free? It was perfectly fine until yesterday, and now it just crashes (the whole laptop) after about 30 seconds into the chat! Then I have to totally restart. I have updated Windows and Flash - any other ideas?

No idea but what windows are you using and can be that your cpu is too high while using jci ?
Worked perfectly for me in win7 and now working perfectly in win10,thinking it might be a conflict somewhere.
And I just read you updated windows,first I read you upgraded.I need more coffee.

I didn't change anything, and started having crash issues. I've updated Windows and Flash hoping that will solve the problem. Doesn't seem to max out the CPU when using, never did and doesn't now. Going to see if it holds up now that I've restarted and forced another update (in case the first didn't "take"). It's not a new lappy, but JCI worked fine until this mystery ailment took hold :/
(my post above, about installing on a new PC, was me trying to solve the issue by moving the software over. I tried, and then realise my Logitech software only wanted to control ONE cam (I am using TWO) so went back to trying to fix the laptop issues)

Can't help with jci but for logitech yes,controller won't work for both installed cams (as in to zoom in for example) but it should work to adjust both cams colors,first u adjust one and then the other.Controller will then work for the last cam you did settings for.I have a c920 and a bcc950 and I can use them both,first set colors for both and for zooming I set controller for 920 and use the remote for bcc.If you have the same cameras maybe that will help.

It might just be me and I don't want to get my throat cut for this but...has anybody else been finding it slow here lately? I rarely pay for featuring but I've booked a first day to see if it helps. I have noticed the top rows of girls are always in session so I imagine it does the trick!
Classy_Katy
03-08-2016, 11:18 PM
The top row is made up of girls in group shows. Daily featuring doesn't do very much for me...it used to be good for movie sales. You can try hourly positioning and see it that helps. You will find though, we're generally busiest when we're new and there are new girls joining all the time, without marketing being done by the site to bring in new customers.
KarinaGiselle
03-08-2016, 11:25 PM
Welp, I made my first 12 GBP from that site! Yay me!
I'm thinking something... This is predominantly a UK site, right? As in, a vast majority of its customers are from the UK. Is that correct?

Another newbie here. First day yesterday I finally got authorised and figured out the webcam. I could have made more money had I been more technically minded though. I couldn't figure out the audio on direct cam but I've done a search here and think I have the answer (but how can you tell until it's actually in private). I went into group mode and didn't realise they'd left the room so gave away stuff for free for a bit without knowing! I also had a webcam booking for 20 minutes but it came in just as I was logging off at 3am this morning so missed it completely. I was really nervous and to be honest I didn't log in for long because of it. But everyone was really nice to me and those that weren't interested just moved on. I didn't make a massive amount of money but I did realise that even though it's enjoyable it is work. You only get paid for the time you are doing something even though you might be logged in for longer. I sold a story and did 3 group sessions and had a good time. Found it hard when there were a lot of people in the room because I'd start talking to someone but they all had such varied tastes. Also I can see how you need some creativity to mix it up a little bit.
3 group sessions and a story sold £28 made. Not a fortune but apparently one of the group sessions I got logged off so he would have stayed on line longer (not sure what happened there) plus I could have made more if I'd figured out the audio. I had couple of offers for pvt if i could do audio. Need to get this technology figured out.:-\
Hoping this works out for me for at least part time work. I'm looking for part time work in the "normal" way but after just having given up a very demanding high level high stress 60 hour+ a week job I just can't go back into that world.
Thank you to everyone who posts here and I'd be interested to talk to other newbies cos it's damn confusing out there!

You can try out the audio in free preview. You need to tick the audio boxes in the directcam settings where you put in your prices etc, and tick the enable audio box in justcamit.

Thank you!!! I'm amazed at how supportive everyone is here.... I've been feeling really lost and I don't think I'd have figured out anything without this site. One thing i still haven't figured out though is what is an "A level" lol. I'm assuming it isn't a qualification in Maths!

For some reason, I've only just noticed that the facility fee for DirectChat calls is 15p/min rather than the 5% that's charged with DirectCam & IM. Has it always been that way, or did it used to also be 5%?

Hey chicks... so does anyone highly rate doing/not doing free chat? I've raised my rates because I'm worth it but had no shows last night, just endless chat. I disabled free chat today while i worked at hte same time on another site but no calls.
I just can't justify spending so much time and energy chatting when no one is having a show! I dont know if it's my rates or just a tough period.
sexysusie
03-10-2016, 07:10 AM
It is not your rates. You could sit there at £1 per min and still get no shows. Last night was very slow from my observation, with less than 10% of models in paid for much of the night.
You may find free chat helps. Certainly if you are new you might benefit from doing it for a little bit of every hour. Instead of chatting you could do things around the house if you have a laptop x

Anyone having issues with DirectCam not showing them online tonight? I know it takes some time to show up , but I've been sitting here for 15-20 mins and it still doesnt show me online. I've also paid for DC positioning so this is not good ... :(

I've had that before...especially with DirectChat. By the time AW reply to a ticket, you'll be showing.

Bugger. Did a couple of hours and made £45 and then my webcam went fuzzy and can't get it to work again. Gave up and went to bed. Going to give it another go though I am about to upgrade but got to spend a few hours googling to find which would be best. technical issues can be a beast.
Couple of coffees later got one down and going to Argos to pick it up and have a play in a bit.

Stupid newbie question. Using phone chat and sms chat on AW can you add your availability? if you add your phone number it's ok with text cos you can do that anytime anywhere but speaking on phone might not always be convenient.

A few guys were telling me that my cam was freezing or there was a black screen and they had to keep leaving the room and coming back until it was better. I wasn't sure if it was the site or my computer, so I switched computers and a couple guys said it happened again.
Do any of you have this problem? I don't think it was my computer, since I tried 2 different ones but I dunno.

I was typing on my phone flippin autocorrect. I had a lot of problems on site today. I was SMS ing with someone and it was quite hard going and I kept on replying then I had a message from AW saying they couldn't send my reply as I hadn't had a reply to my last SMS but I had. I assume the custie thought I'd just stopped replying. Also I kept getting pings for pvt but then they disappeared and I couldn't click on them. Frustrating.

Adultwork has some server issues since last Thursday. Every now and then adultwork.com won't load.

I'm thinking of trying not doing freeview a couple of times this week - IF I can figure out how to turn it off lol. I just feel like I'm sitting in a shop window with lots of people window shopping who never intend to do anything else. Maybe I just had a bad day. I'll be back on later and see how I feel and if I can find out how to turn it off.

You can limit it as well as turn it off...only members and down to only for 5 mins per person within 24 hours. Sometimes I can only take free preview for 30 mins at a time. I keep myself sane by busying myself on another laptop at the same time...keeps my eyes from being fixed at the same distance for too long as well.

I mindfucked a guy last weekend.
He was trying to get a Skype discount, he thought my rate of 4 credits per minute and 20 minute minimum booking was too much.
So, I told him: 20 minutes for 200 credits and he would get a 20 minute booking for free next time.
He went for it.

Thank you! I'm going to try to be online more but it's hard going being freeview all the time and I can now be online but be doing other things I need to do on my laptop as well. I'm going to go into freeview periodically but all I seem to be getting lately is people asking me to meet them or give them my number and no spenders (nothing, nada, zilch yesterday).
Hoping by putting a schedule up and sticking to it and limiting the freeview but being more available may help. I'm also going to try to do my first film clips!
