yeah, im always afraid of having some sort of issue with aw and then being asked to re-verify as i saw on the awforum. since is my main income, i cant afford to lose my profile or have it shut down for any reason, so im thinking it through and i might get a new passport soon.

Hey girls, I don't know what's going on tonight but I've just had two separate guys say the exact same thing. They both came into grp about 30 minutes apart and told me to spread my cheeks and say "fuck my arsehole/shithole". The first one seemed suspicious on its own because he put it in quotes? and the second one just took the biscuit and I blocked him, I don't care that he was paying. Maybe I'm just being paranoid but this seems a bit suspicious to me. It's too weird to be a coincidence! Do you think they record webcam girls and put it online? I could do without that tbh haha ;D. Hope your nights are gong/went well. x

Fuck this site. It literally says on their site that you can send in a state issued id, so I sent in my drivers license. They just sent me a rude email stating its easy to fake a drivers license and if I dont send in a passport they wont verify my account. If they want American performers to send in only a passport perhaps they should state that on their site and say no other forms of id will be accepted. Honestly their site is that big or that great so its no big loss. Just annoying their site says one thing and their rude ass customer service agent says another.

Everyone has to send a passport to get verified, except uk models (unless this changed recently, so someone correct me if I am wrong but I doubt). You will not get verified unless you provide one.
If you expect nice customer support then you look at the wrong site. AW is mainly an escort site, camming being just a small part of it, they don't care about performers or the camming part of the site. The traffic isn`t what you would expect it to be unless you are a british cammer so you don't miss on $ by not camming there.

i have to disagree with u seiscento....the site for me is my main income and i am in brasil, i make an average of 500 - 700 pounds working 5 days only and if i didnt work there, i would be probably in deep shit. lol weekends are even better on aw, but u have to put the hours and work ur ass off.
i also know few romanian girls banking there. Of course uk girls make much more, no doubt, but foreigners can do great there.

Been there done that. AW was my main site for years. But not anymore. I'm putting the same hours I put on SM(except I don't offer free preview anymore) and I'm doing much better on SM. But, I have 9 years on AW. The more you are on a site the less you'll make at some point.

My point of view was directed at Jane, knowing she is a SM model and used with the traffic/earnings/ support one can get there. At least for traffic there is no comparision. SM support might be made of monkeys but still, no one ever has been rude to me on there. Unlike AW support.

There are money to be made, still, but it's not what it used to be, not since 2014 and someone coming from SM might expect more than 500 for less hours, even from a side site.

I am fine if they want a passport, but they honestly should put that on the site. They say they will take a state id but they dont. Its not hard to say all non UK performers have to provide a passport. Plus some off the ladies on here said they didnt have to use a passport and they were approved. I agree, I would probably be disappointed by the traffic. Im used to a lot of people in the room so if its only a few people I would be bored.

They should update the information on the site...when I joined in 2011 there were things in the help pages that were out of date and have still not been corrected!

Free preview can be very boring with only a few people in the room, especially when they're not even talking, all asking the same question or asking inane questions just to make you respond.

Ah ok, yeah, since i dont do free chats (i stayed on sm for few days and left) i just hate free chat and 500 ppl in ur room....no ty, not for me, aw does work fine and i love the site. When i started to cam there, that was in 2003 i stayed only available for booked shows, i was never on dc and always had bookings. I stayed there for 6 years, then i stopped camming and now that im back, i saw that u get very few bookings nowadays, u need to stay in dc most of the time. so yes, the site has changed a lot, but i still think u can make money there. remember that 500-700 its me, non nude model under a very small niche which is bdsm, i see girls doing vanilla making 2000, 3000 week, if this is what jane offers, might work very well for her. also i dont work weekends, which are supposed to be better. anyway this is a personal choice, if she doesnt like the site style, then forget it.

It's best not to mention earnings on AW :) We have enough problems already with newbies thinking they can earn a fortune for nothing, and there is a limited pool of traffic. That amount is very much not the norm...especially when you can only work the shitty hours like me :)

I'm same as Katy I only work daytimes and it can be VERY poor even with good feed back and regs. I am expensive but other than the odd really good day I can often get as little as £9 some mornings especially this time of year. I am sure nights and weekends are much better but I can't do either so I'm stuck!

I could probably do well on there and give them a passport, but their CS agents were so rude I dont even want to deal with their site. I had enough of rude CS people on SM over the years. If your performers are working hard and paying the site funds so you have a job, you should be respectful to them.

I've had the bad experience of dealing with their CS also. They deactivated my profile last month and never told me why. After going back and forth with them for a couple of days, they reactivated it and kept my money that had been in my account. Still never got an explanation as to why they deactivated me. Every time I asked, they wouldn't respond.

I'm paranoid to work on there now. I don't want to work and lose my money for no reason again.

I've heard of them doing that too. The only reason they gave me was because I left a daily pay group that I was in. They wouldn't reactivate me until I either went back in that group or joined another one. That made no sense to me because I know you can work as an independent there. I questioned them about it but they never would give a straight answer. I'd worked independently on there before and it wasn't a problem.

I don't know what bullshit they were pulling but I wasn't impressed.

An external HD cam really is essential...also preferable is a good internet upload speed (you won't be HD unless you have decent internet), high spec computer, wired internet connection, and separate HD mic. I also use separate speakers so I don't have feedback created by my end.

AW have a separate page for those girls online in HD and it's not that many! - http://www.adultwork.com/TV/Categories.asp?CategoryID=-11

wow thats awesome! yeah I knew it was really needed but I couldn't really afford to get one till now, its already made such a difference! I'll have to look into what internet we have but I'm living at my boyfriends mum's place atm so dont have control over that, and I dont offer audio either (anxieties ahaha).
thanks for the advice tho! my "shift" went pretty well, fairly slow but to be expected really in the day/summer/Olympics, gonna jump on for some more time tonight and try and be consistent now, 2/3 hours a day 5 days a week minimum until I find a vanilla job :)

whats considered a high upload speed?

As an upload that's not bad at all...AW's max bitrate is 1.5mbps, so you should be able to stream in HD. Make sure you have you justcamit settings at the max video settings and watch that your FPS doesn't go into the red. I find I need my laptop plugged into the mains all the time as even with a charged battery, it can affect the FPS. Sometimes I have to fiddle with the image size too.

Does anyone make good regular income from direct chat? I have recently gained a reg who spends about £20 a week. I don't charge much at the moment about £1.45 my cam rates are £2.45/£2.95.

As per my other thread I cant cam at night but am wondering if I could get away with phone chat more easily there is a room I could do that in private (too small to cam)

Does anyone think there's much in it? Was thinking about IM too? I have found paying for placement on direct chat is pointless any thoughts on that and my rates? Like cam girls there are loads cheaper but wondering where others are at price wise?

I have got a NF and talktome but it's yet another site to make payout on and checks in dollars are a nightmare for me.

I have got a NF and talktome but it's yet another site to make payout on and checks in dollars are a nightmare for me.

What I do when I'm having a lazy day is make myself available for DirectChat pre-booked and non pre-booked and sit on IM in free preview mode until people come in and I try an entice them into pvts. A lot of them ask "where's your cam?" though so beware because they're obviously noobs who need blocking.

Some days are better than others as usual, but I find that the guys who are into text and phone chat are less likely to be freeloaders. They will actually stay and chat for ages and ages because they're not just looking on the live webcams for escorts like its a fucking cattle market or something :irked:

It's well worth being available on all avenues as this can boost your income quite a bit. I'm on DirectCam, DirectChat, IM, SMS and Skype bookings. My price for IM is 1 cred/min and DirectChat is 2.30 creds a min I think. It used to be 1.80 but I thought that was a bit too cheap.

Hope this helps.

I've been avoiding my other site like the plague this last week and just had AW on from time to time when I can be arsed, normally that would net me quite a few dollars to add to my usual camming times where I splitcam it with other sites but not so.

My content sales took a nose dive when VAT was introduced last October but the best thing for selling movies is being on cam. My gallery never sells as well as movies. There is huge competition over featuring movies daily but I found that doesn't help me. Just being online as much as possible will help content sales. Movies under 3 minutes and email size if you're using windows movie maker, keeps them cheap and cheerful. The market here is for quick wank material and they don't care about it being in HD. I do have longer movies but generally short and sweet is best. If you have a stunt cock on hand, so much the better...a lot of customers will usually see escorts.

I've only ever sold two videos but seem to sell gallery stuff every so often, I guess I'll just make and upload more and see how it goes, as well as getting that couple account set up haha

I have a stunt cock in a lot of my movies...2 in some (I know! I'm greedy) and Ive not got a couple account. The stunt has not been verified either. I dont know if thats breaking the rules but as only his appendage is on cam I thought it was ok x

I must be the only one then. Ever since I've been on AW since 2011 it's been set as 5 mins and nearly all the guys simply come back after that is up, over and over x


as for guests, on my end it works like this: the guy comes in, stays 5 mins, get kicked, comes back, stay another 5 and then he cant enter again. has been working like this since ive started on aw.

They get 3 minutes then they get kicked out then they have another 2 mins. When they go and you see them re-enter its kind of a cue for you to know its your last chance to convert them. I dont see them re-enter after unless they have had less than that time pinging in and out for 30secs....THAT seems like they are constantly there x

I've been lurking on here for a little while and AW is my main site so I really need some help/advice. It's been a long night and I made a pretty stupid mistake, now I'm worried AW might ban me. I'm looking to do more indy based camming through LCMS/SkyPrivate and I wanted a VPN for security but didn't realise I was still logged into JCI when I opened it to try it out. I was instantly locked out of JCI but I can still use my AW account. They asked me to provide my passport and verification photo again, i've uploaded the passport but have to wait to upload the photo. If anyone has done anything similar/knows what I can do to fix this (I don't know whether contacting support will help or make things worse) I'd be so grateful for any advice, I feel like the biggest idiot right now :(
