I've got a Payoneer account which I use for those days where I've not quite got to 150 credits but don't like the charges it comes with so I try avoid using it.

I wonder if it would work out cheaper to buy some credits from your own bank account, to make your balance up to 150 credits.

well if you charge less for group but they are the only guy in there then they are getting a private chat for group prices

The point of group is that many can pop in there at the same time. Obviously you don't know if and how many, but your potential for income is higher in group. Sometimes you'll be lucky, sometimes not, but I wouldn't be getting upset if there's only one guy in there.

for IM though it's very very unlikely you'd have more than 1 in, it works for camming but really for IM guys just use the group option to get a cheaper rate

I've only just noticed that AW now appear to be allowing us to charge more than 1 credit per erotica item. When did this happen? Bumped one of my recorded items up to 4 credits and a few people have bought it already. Boom!

Is AW going nuts today? At 1.21pm (yes, I checked) I switched on my availability for cam and phone bookings. Anyone using this service knows that this lasts for 2 hours and then you have to update it to show again that you are still available for cam bookings and phone calls.

However. I received a text saying my status had been changed to 'not available'. It hadn't been 2 hours and I hadn't received/missed a booking...but when I checked the time of the text it said it was from 1.03pm. I checked to see if I was still showing as available, and I wasn't.

So...I received a text that's timed BEFORE I even switched on the computer, and my availability was turned off after less than 90 mins (could have been after 5 mins, I have no idea!).

Anyone else ever had weird things like this happen?

GIRLS!!!! Listen up, today a customer told me that i was losing a lot of clients for having AV (age verification for customers) ticked on my profile. AW ticks this box default so only guys verified can enter ur directcam, so untick this box and voila, get many more payers! Most of the guys wont do verification because they are lazy and we lose a lot of potential clients!

Yes AV box ticked will make your profile invisible to any non age registered customers. As they need to jump through hoops and provide sensitive personal details in order to age verify, most don't bother. AW brought out the option so that British models could comply with the crazy new regulations set down by the ATVOD quango (now no longer, but ofcom still working on ways to fuck up our business through age verification!). We currently have no need to tick it and I would seriously urge anyone NOT to do so.

They do pixxie. Free chat IS mostly beggars with no intention of paying. But there are some gems in there. It all depends on your patience levels if you're willing to put some time into doing free. I still do it now and then, just 10 mins here and there. Some girls swear by it. It can be a good way to increase your profile visibility which sometimes helps with gallery and video sales and referral sign ups x

Pix, i used to go free and had only twats coming in, looking ad leaving without even a hello, so i stopped and go only private. I realized that guys on directIM are less cheap than guys on directcam, coz the more guys get, the more they want and the more u offer the more they are cheap. So, it doesnt worth it to go free at all on directcam in my opinion.

cool thanks, I might try without when I'm feeling impatient then, it's just frustrating them going "oh I want to do such and such to you" etc etc and then when I suggest we go paid more to talk about it properly they leave and it's just erghh
I have no patience today ahahah

I do better with free preview but I need to be sitting in front of another laptop and busying myself on there rather than just sat staring at a screen of names while they wank and not talk, or just talk BS.

so do you not interact with people on free chat? that'd be another option I guess I could have my ipad doing something else

DancesWithSloths
04-25-2016, 03:39 AM
When you do that, Katy, do you put down what you're doing and talk to them when they strike up a conversation?

I've tried editing clips etc when I'm in free, but there's always somebody wanting to do the "where u from bb" thing, and I feel weird not answering their questions, even though most of the time it won't lead to anything.

You'll have to come in free and look :) The camming laptop is to my left and I turn to look when I hear a bleep...I smile or say hello etc, then look back at my other laptop in front of me...I'm usually scrolling and clicking, and sometimes typing. It saves me staring at the screen waiting for someone to say something and it's better for our eyes to keep changing distance of focus. I've tried to edit clips etc but that takes more focus. I'm on facebook, twitter or playing sims, or here :)

Hi,

I was just wondering what the different colours mean from users when they enter my directcam (AW). i.e. blue, purple etc. Does this generally mean they have spent money today representing the different colour?

I have tried looking at the settings for it and google but found nothing.

many thanks for your help.

seicento
04-30-2016, 12:48 PM
Lol. Doesn't mean anything, just the font color they choosed for their chat. There is no way on aw to know how much they have spent or if they have credits in their account.

Girls can someone tell me if its worth it to feature myself on cam, phone and sms? I did once for phone and sms this week, and got nothing. On the other hand i did for cam and got a lot of guys on free, but yet i was on sexting so it didnt go very well. I will go on cam tomorrow to see how it works using cam, as for sure on text i dont think it will go very well. But the question is, how worth it for sms and phone most of all? I see a lot of girls featuring themselves all the time, even for all 3 and every day of every week. I suppose its good or is just a waste of money? thnx in advance for any replies.

^^^Same for me. Daily featuring used to increase movie and photo sales but now makes no difference at all. If I'm featured for cam and doing free in instant message, it's fun when guys come in and ask where my cam is but that's the only benefit and really not worth the cost!

ok on my other sites I charged 9.99 a minute...I started out on adultwork charging 2.99 and it was quiet but I was thinking this is wayyyy too low! So I upped it to 3.99 and it was still quiet but I was starting to gain regs but overall, I feel like im getting ripped...I have been trying 9.99 a minute but of course its been really quiet the last two weeks...is this like unheard of to charge this much on this site? thats crazy that it would be so different on different sites as in whats to high to charge? I know this is mostly a UK site and the sites that I do charge 9.99 a minute on..I mostly get United states clients and canada clients but wanted to get your ladies opinion on this? Or it could be that I just need to wait it out and build 9.99 regulars...my other sites were slow to start as well at 9.99 but ive built up the regs that could pay that and all my old regs that used to pay 4.99 and 5.99 went away cause they couldnt afford it but i'm happier now at 9.99 on my other sites and very happy I stuck with it through the slow times but I am just not sure about adultwork? thanks ladies!

sexysusie
05-02-2016, 12:36 AM
You know 1 credit = £1 right, so 3.99 is actually $5.82. You only lose 30-35% so you're getting around $3.78 per min your cut as opposed to $3.49 on SM if you're 9.99. You won't get any customers on AW for £9.99 lol. £3.99 - £4.50 is what I charge and I am busy enough x

Classy_Katy
05-02-2016, 01:29 AM
I had regulars who left me when I raised my private rate above 2.25...I can't even imagine charging 9.99. Have a look and see how much others others are charging, some are even below 1 credit a minute although I would never suggest going that low.

hotmodel
05-02-2016, 01:51 AM
Thanks ladies! Ok yea sorry I'm confused cause I'm in the United States and have no idea lol! So thank u! Sexysusie..would u say 4.50 is the highest u would go? I want to go the highest..u ladies think this is a top out for this site? I did notice there are a lot of girls charging so little but I want to charge the highest of what I can get away with on this site but yet still stay somewhat busy but I know this site is a hit and miss plus it's just a background site..not a main site..thanks again!

05-02-2016, 03:32 AM
It used to be the case that glamour models and porn stars charged £4 - £5, very popular models who are not famous charged around £3.50, the majority charged 2.99. I would say the majority still charge 2.99 but the lines above that have blurred and new girls are often now starting out with 3.99/4.99 yay. Try it and see how you do. They love new blood on AW so this is the best time to try a high rate. If you make regulars they may then continue paying that rate. Try 5.99? I'd love to know how you get on x

SylvySinclair
05-02-2016, 04:58 AM
Hummmm i think even 3.99 is too high. I see girls with lots and lots of reviews who charge under 2.99. The girls who get busier are the cheaper ones. I saw it yesterday, i set my fees higher and then very low to see how it would go. When i put grp at 2 and prvt 2.99 i didnt get anyone, but when i put grp 0.99 and pvt at 2, i had guys coming in group one after the other. I didnt get any big shows, mostly 5 mins each but i ended the night with 75 credits. So, im not sure high fees are bringing u clients, unless u get thos guys which i do have also, that dont care much abt fees and just enter the girls room they like.
But try it and see how it goes.
