My sound is fine sometimes they say its quiet but its an insanely expensive laptop. Before I did no audio so can't really comment.

You might have better luck with the built-in cam on AW. See how it goes!
When you're ready to go for the splitter, Hyori posted a step-by-step video instruction how to get it set up.

When I was thinking of joining SM, I was going to use 2 laptops...just to make it simpler. Do you have another laptop that you could use for AW and buy another webcam?

Out of interest does anyone use audio in the day and not at night? I am thinking about logging in at night but I can't use sound. I've looked into all sorts of sound proofing and its just not viable or going to work and down stairs isn't private. I'm wondering if its worth bothering with? I have always done audio in the day in free and everywhere so I guess it would confuse regs too?

I do have another yes but it won't cope. If it would make things work better I would buy another they aren't that expensive and I know that AW works on a less good one as I had a crap one before might be worth a thought.. I just don't want the splitting thing if i'm honest. I run my other job and MGF on another laptop at the moment which sadly just won't hack AW it gets hot and cuts out.

tbh I dont use audio anyway at any time and it does stop some guys getting shows but not loads tbh, just mention it beforehand to regulars I guess?

same here, i dont use audio almost, only at nights when i can, which is rare, some guys will leave the moment u say there is no audio, others dont even ask abt it. during the day i never use audio anyway.

One of my guys can't get onto my paid cam at all using his iPad. He says there just isn't an option for private anywhere. He now just books Skype instead. He thinks it might be something to do with the new updates apple have done on his iPad.

I just got back on AW on my own account (was a couple account before) and now with justcamit anytime I log on it says my audio is "off server" I looked it up and it says I have to pay $25 us to get the special program to make my audio work. What is up with that? But I haven't tried it just through my cam only with splitcam.... hmmmm could that be the issue? I always split cam with SM and something but I would rather it be with AW not Imlive... Help anyone please?

Maybe you didn't.
I had a weird sound issue a couple of days ago. I always have sound off in Free Chat so I can talk to my out-of-sight boyfriend, tell my dog to lie down or fart without worrying but I have my sound enabled for Group and Private sessions. I've never changed it once and I haven't updated my Directcam settings since I started so I haven't been anywhere near the page where I could have accidentally turned it off.
Either way I had a customer ask if I had sound in PVT, which I said I did, and about 3 minutes into the session he gets super pissed off with me for lying to him and leaves. Turns out my setting were the opposite way around. Everyone had heard me bitch about them to my partner in Freechat and no one was hearing my perfectly rehearsed porn moans in Private :(

well, since my audio doesnt work at all neither in grp neither in prvt, i dont even waste my time anymore, i just tell them i dont offer sound and period. if they wanna stay, they stay, if they dont, bye bye

It's not my internet or computer. I have the fastest internet you can get and my dedicated camming computer is a high spec gaming computer.
I always show as being able to receive shows through all devices when I'm logged on cam aswell.
I've had a fair few guys cam with me via mobile devices but it seems at present there's issues with iPad updates.
Let's hope it gets sorted out soon.

u can link a website on aw if that site has a link back to aw.
ok, so today i was able to ask guys abt being kicked as i had 2 in my room and the first one stayed as long as he wanted and no problems at all, he was on a lap. the second came in and after saying hi, he gets kicked, he comes back and i ask him what device is he using and he says, his cell. so there, the problem lies on devices other than lap tops and pcs. fuck! they need to fix that asap.

If RHC is a reference to Red Hot Cam Play, then I would say definitely not. The two sites are competitors for the same fan base, so AW wouldn't want you sending their customers to their competitor. This is true for pretty much all sites.

Do you ladies switch prices between day and night? I'm quite expensive I guess daytime I'm £3 PVT £2.75 group. I stuck my prices up and I don't think it's really made a difference to traffic I only get the odd whinger. I am however very expensive compared to most and after reading another thread wondering if I should maybe tinker with it again in hope of getting some more custies and upping my paid % at quieter times?

I have a movie clip that I really do not want people accessing with freeviews, so I priced it at 10 credits, thinking that with VAT it would bump it over the 10 credit freeview maximum. I had a guy in IM last night talking about how he was watching this video, however, it didn't appear in my credits statement as having been purchased by anyone. He also hadn't made a phone chat or cam booking of any sort, so couldn't have been watching it with the "Free 5min before and after booking" access. Do I need to price the video higher (11 credits?) or has he somehow downloaded it and kept it from a previous purchase?
SylvySinclair

i had the same problem with mine, anything under 10 will be watched with free credits, so u need to set up at 11 or higher.

I'm expensive too. I cam mainly in the day and am very expensive but I don't change it. My price is my price. That's the value I put on my time amd my services. The value of my time doesn't depend on whether the sun or the moon is out

How much would you say for group? I'm tempted...I haven't been on cam for 4 months but I'm sure my regs will remember that I didn't charge that much before! I'm on at a shitty time of day though, for only a few hours, and when most are charging bargain basement prices.

Me too, Katy...the joy of having kids in school. I've actually done better during summer holidays camming in the evenings, but even then it's feast or famine. When school starts back tomorrow, I'll have to start getting up at 7.15am, so I can't face going back on cam at 9pm when I'm absolutely shattered. Daytimes are not as lucrative, but it's my only option.

How do you AW ladies discreetly bring up customer notes when you get a directcam show?
Obviously I remember everything about my most frequent regs, but now I've been working for long enough that I'm getting good repeats who buy long shows every few months as a treat. And they get pretty sad when I forget their generic screen name and go "Hi lover, what's your name?"
I do have customer notes, but they're in a paper planner. I'm not going to go leafing through that mid-show. Clicking over to a word document and typing a search also seems like it would be slow, but maybe it would work, idk.
Anybody have a better solution?

I run into the same problem on cam and IM. I generally acknowledge that I know we've cammed before, but laugh and say I'm hopeless with usernames (or that I have a few regulars with similar usernames) and ask them to remind me what they're into, or what we last chatted about. Usually that's enough to jog my memory. I've considered writing some of them down on a single piece of paper and sticking it behind my camera. Obviously, you can't write them all down, but if they've spent more than a few credits, it might be worth it and less of a faff than flipping through a notebook, or having to bring up a word document.

Some schools and colleges are back today and I'm finding far more guys than usual coming into free preview. I've jacked my prices up from 1.75/2.75 to 2/3.50 and I've had a group and a pvt show so far...no idea though whether I would have had more by now if I hadn't. I've also gone into the next age bracket.

I have no idea really as whatever I charge I only ever get 1 - 2 guys. I focus on privates. In marketing psychology there is a lot of evidence to show that having one price point much lower than other rather than closer to it, will actually encourage more purchases at the higher price. Also having slightly different numbers than those around you reduces buyer overwhelm and encourages more sales. So instead of 1.99/2.99 like most people do, you could go 1.75/3.99 or something x

I never really have this issue as I always start out with something along the lines of "hi darling, long time no see. Did you miss me?" And then "mmm baby it's so good to play with you again, what are you in the mood for today, anything in particular?" Pander to their ego and seem interested in them and it won't occur to them that you haven't got a clue who they are or what they're into. When I first started out I kept a page of notes for each of my regs. Over time I noticed that certain custies have similar 'triggers' so I made a note of the triggers for different fetish guys, noted that most vanilla guys love blow job refs etc, and crafted an intro which is suitable for anyone and everyone. So then I just went by intro, questions, triggers.. rinse and repeat. Lets them do most of the work while giving the impression you're in control and really care about them x

I charge £1.70 GRP and £3.80 PVT I started doing evenings at a much lower rate then switched to days, was quieter and thought I may as well make more when I AM on and raised them. I struggled to get groups at £1.30 before....now I have no problems. Have even considered raising to £2 for GRP. I used to get the whole 'You're too expensive' thing but I havent had that since raising my rate. I think I must pull in a different type of punter now.
I don't get as many prvates as I used to but that's fine because I earn more in GRP anyway and those guys that do take me pvt are there to enjoy me for a while rather than 'tits out bb' within 20secs
Do it! If you don't, you will never know. Thats what I thought and I wouldn't lower them now!

It was dead for me from around 11.30am-1pm (I went into paid only), then I had to finish to take one of our guinea pigs to the vet. No one commented on my prices, which was surprising. I get more than one person in group at 1.75, so I'll see how it goes at 2 in future. 3.50 felt like a lot but I was positioned next to someone charging more. I could do without an hour or 2 of no shows when I'm only on for such a short time though.

^^I had nothing 11.30am - 1pm either, and I'm at £2.75 pvt, so it's probably not your rate, don't fret.
