We have Wimbledon (tennis), Euros (football), both on today/tonight. Weather's nicer, holidays are starting/coming up. Then there's the Olympics soon. It's all part of the yearly Summer slump. Time to start thinking about how to increase your income from September-Xmas. Can't just rely on AW (sadly, cos I love the site) for your income. Think about what else can you do to get that cash rolling in?

tbh I wouldn't roleplay underage or pet anyway just cause own limits but I'm fine with petplay and ageplay, just didn't know if I'd get banned or something so have been reluctant till now lol

07-06-2016, 03:43 PM
nah, like 50% of the girls do taboos on there, if aw would ban everyone that does something wrong on the site, they would have to ban almost everybody, coz many have genitalia on the main pic which is forbbiden, and many other things...

do you gals do free chat much? I know Syl doesn't and I'm tempted to turn it off cause I cba with the freeloaders today but am worried I'll get no shows if I dont pay for positioning?
SylvySinclair
07-07-2016, 10:09 AM
pix, im not paying for position lately and guys find me the same way. the thing on aw this week is that there is a glitch going on, i talked to my groups owner and he told me that 10 girls complained about having guys being kicked from chat. yesterday i got 7 guys, 6 were kicked and today one got kicked and he came back and told me so, so its not about not being found, its about the site having issues and the guys wouldnt be able to stay in.
PixiieGirl
07-07-2016, 10:16 AM
ah yeah I've had 3 shows today all under 1 min, one guy who I've had before and usually gets long shows he came into the room and left 2 mins later, very odd :/

I do freechat on AW when I'm in freechat on SM, because AW freeloaders talk a lot and keep my face animated during SM lulls. However, when I don't do freechat, I still get shows, no problem.
AW was so glitchy yesterday I couldn't stay logged into JCI for more than half an hour. Today's been better, but when even your most devoted freeloaders can't stay connected, you know something is going on.
PixiieGirl
07-07-2016, 10:36 AM
I might just do freechat when I can be bothered to talk to people from now on then, least I can busy myself with my other online job while waiting for shows lol

f***king games going on, kill business and if this wasnt enough, the glitches keep going, just had another guy and he got kicked also. how in the f***ng universe can we work like that? its already dead and when we finally get guys, they cant stay in and then the worst happens, they think its our internet sucking big time, it doesnt matter if u tell them its aw glitch, its always our fault!

I have tried doing paid only and found that free preview works better for me. So I do free as much as possible but will do a mix of free and paid only each time I'm online. I do always pay for positioning, even if it's only around the minimum.

07-07-2016, 12:35 PM
yeah I think a mix and paying for positioning whenever I can is my plan of action :)

Is there any news on that new site? I signed up and got welcome email but nothing since? SM is being very cruel to me this week has been awful. Hoping AW will smile on me again tomorrow morning. I am always in free I do fixed hours on AW when I feel it's busy then switch sites later in the day. I should really get split camming going

Ffs sake stop moaning. Join other sites, split cam, sell clips, do phone chat, work on retaining indie customers. The money is still out there and many of us are doing fine on AW (and elsewhere). Depressing as fuck to read page after page of moaning.
THINK POSITIVE and take positive actions x

Susie, if u are doing great, im so happy for u and many times i do great as well, but it is slow everywhere, and splitting cam aint adding up to the deadness that it is right now. This is the place to vent, like i heard many months ago when someone complained and i was the one cheering them up, if we cant complain here and vent and let the frustration out, then why in the fucking hell do we have this forum for???? For sure i wont release my frustration on my son, hubby or my teen ager, so let me cry and moan and curse the world. ty

Hello,everyone. I am really sorry if i post in the wrong forum or section, yet I really need to ask you if anyone can help me create a studio account on AW(like telling me the steps or so), because it has passed over a year now, and I`m still trying to figure out how to do it(it became frustrating). Can please, for the love of God(or money, or maybe just the good will) help me with this? Thanks ,and once again, I apologize if it`s not the right place to post this. As for the place I live, it`s Romania.

You have to create a performer account and from there you can create a group. You can't register directly as a group/studio.
At least thats's how I remember doing it years ago.
Create the account with your studio name, get verified, create group then add performers.
I can't remember if I could create accounts from my group or I had to create separately for each performer then add them to group.

There is hope I've had a fab morning today and yesterday in an hour yesterday £83 and today £60 so there is money and custies still spending. SM is not good for me right now but sticking with my hours and hopefully it will all sort itself out over the next few weeks. I know it's hard but I do find forcing myself to be positive the other day I made £4.22 and could have cried and given up this week but glad I kept on it xx

today seems better allright, ive made some money as soon as i got on and im relieved. even ifriends seems better today, so im feeling much better. since im off for the weekend tomorrow and sunday, i need to make my weekly goal today. pls girls wish me luck as monday i start the electric part of the house, which will take 3 days and then the painting which will take another 3 days, so camming will be really hard for me next week. im happy though as my house will look exactly the way i want after so many years needing to save money to pay the bills only. now i can spend more than the bills and have the house of my dreams. i wish u all a great weekend of rest or work, but a happy one. xx
I've been taking some weeks off (personal reasons). Hope you have all been well :)
Does anybody else here offer IM only too? I just checked other people's prices and they have gotten really low! Most people who are online right now offer 0,60 or 0,65 credit/minute. Is this just a coincident or a new trend? When I started just some months ago, most were priced at 0,75-0,90. I don't like this race to the bottom.
SylvySinclair
07-08-2016, 01:19 PM
when i came back to cam after many years away, i started only on IM, i always charged 0.99 and still do when im there, some girls were really expensive though and i guess when they realized they werent making shit, they changed their fees and now most are at .60. Since its only chat, its understandable as there many girls charging for cam with audio, something around 0.80.

In general the IM prices are fairly high compared to how little is offered. And of course it should be a lot lower than the camming prices, especially for those of us who don't also offer cam.
I just set my prices based on what other non-camming members had before, and now my group rate is suddenly higher than other people's private rate. However, I've still been decent amounts the last 2 days so I'm not going to change it. I'm just curious regarding whether it's a general trend on AW that the prices are dropping.
SylvySinclair
07-09-2016, 04:55 AM
it depends on the time of the day, if u look the girls in the morning, they charge more, then as the day gets going, the fees lower. take a look.

Escorts tend to charge more for IM as that one way guys can be in contact to make a booking and they will be on in the morning to make bookings for the day.

The prices of others should not affect your pricing. Educate yourself on marketing psychology and worry less what others are doing. All that matters is making yourself visible to new customers and retaining current ones x

Same here, Cat. I've had the same poor guy coming in about 8 times now, hoping that my image will stop freezing/breaking up. My JCI connection keeps dropping and reconnecting. I checked my internet speed which is fiber optic as well, and slightly better than your numbers. I'm not streaming anything else, and nobody else in the house is either. *le sigh*

Yeah that has happened to me with an upload of 58 and download of 130, and the chat keeps disconnecting and reconnecting and the guys keep getting kicked and they come back and this shit keeps going on. i was so pissed that i logged off and sent an email to aw telling them that they need to fix these glitches asap, and obviously they sent one back telling me the problem is on my end, so i sent them my upload screen and then i got no answer anymore. that was on tuesday.

Ive been a avid user of aw since i was 18 between various names , its only over the past 3 years ive stuck with a name and branded it to what i am now.
Aw is a site with money but moaning and doing sweet f.a about the situation your in will not bring in the money and will only make a bad vibe for yourself.
Ive been away for a while (personal health issues and moving countries!) and im back properly as of next week with a full time schedule after my uni hours split between aw,sm,dk and a few other sites.
You have to work for the money it does not just land in your bank, sitting on free chat is great to draw attention but why not split the cam and sit on 2 sites , i have a set up of 2 macbooks with 2 external hds attached and i sit on 2 sites per macbook - so 4 in total i work crazy hours but aslong as i can do my studies and get at least 5hrs of sleep a day im good!
Hell i even cam when im in the gym (tablets are great for this)
use what you have and think positive it will happen! :)
have a good weekend hugs from copenhagen
