No surprise, the goalpost has been move once again.

For those of us who suffer with depression and anxiety, the stress of this has almost been worse than having to juggle finances to cover several weeks of not getting paid. I realise AW are at the mercy of the payment processor and banks involved, but this has become farcical. I signed up to Talktome (thanks Kristen!). While I know it's only going to be supplemental income, every bit helps.

I generally don't suffer with anxiety (too laid back), but when I do, I do. This week has sent the levels sky high, due to a couple of real life appts (not sex work related) going a bit wrong and I am OCDing about how I could have done better....and on top of that I don't have any money. I have been waiting for AW and won't see another payment after this one for 3 weeks, AND 2 US checks that I deposited 4 weeks ago STILL haven't cleared. I need to look for a better bank on the US deposit clearing front, but trying to keep my head above water has exhausted me. I also suffer with disabling periods (floods so much and so much pain that I can't leave the house) and THAT has arrived this week too. So while I am laying in bed I am also crawling the ceiling with pain and anxiety.

Re: banks, I get USD cheques from Niteflirt. When I deposit them (before 2pm), they're generally in my account the next afternoon. It costs £12, and that's with HSBC.

Re: periods, mine were like a fucking deluge, lasting 10 days and coming every 3 weeks. Not so much painful, but just very messy. I switched to using a Mooncup before getting a Mirena coil last year. Since I got the coil fitted, I barely spot when my period is due. Not sure if this is an option you can or want to consider, but for me it's helped a lot.

Yeah, my consultant said the Mirena is the only option left now (before major surgery etc) - however, he tried to put one in and my womb went into spasm, so now the only way to get it in is under a general anaesthetic! So I am currently in a sort of denial phase where I know I should get it done, but is it really that bad (it is!), and why can't I just do without (I can't!). Mine can last up to 3 weeks and then a week later I'm back on again. So I am going to have to bite the bullet and contact him for that appt, but I REALLY don't want to be put under just for a blummin coil :-/

the coil is a lifesaver! I have the Jaydess (like the Mirena but smaller, my doctor didn't think the Mirena was a good idea for me cause I'm small, never been pregnant/had kids etc) - I still have periods but they're like half the length now and so much lighter/less painful (mine used to make me physically vomit)

There's no fee for the Paxum account, but if you have a Paxum card, it's $45. You don't have to have a card when their EFT transfers are working as normal.

Although it's no help, I just wanted to say how sorry I am this is making things so damn awful for many of you. :grouphug:

This has come at an awful time for me, too. It's all very well regretting not preparing for these sorts of things, but sometimes life just bites you in the ass, and you simply must have the money you're owed.

I know this isn't AW's fault, but it *is* their fault for giving us pipe dreams - really, really not on.
The Paxum fee is too high for me at the moment as I need all the money I am owed (minus AW admin fee, obviously), and my Payoneer ID hasn't been approved for some reason - it's been over a week now and I can't use my Payoneer card - so the alternatives aren't an option either.

I can't see us seeing any of this money before next week..and didn't someone say the same thing last week? ugh. x

If I'm using Paxum for Talktome, I'm thinking of getting the card to use on the sly (groceries, petrol, etc) as the bulk of my income comes from AW and NF...HMRC income. Ahem.

The card will cost you a yearly fee, I think? Although of course, that's nothing compared to the per-transaction fee if not using EFT!

Blue-Velvet
10-12-2016, 03:46 AM
Yeah, the card costs a yearly fee, but after that, I'd just use it as pocket money. Obviously, if TTM became a huge source of income (unlikely), I'd rethink that strategy and probably switch to EFT and start claiming it as earnings. I don't claim Amazon vouchers as earnings....similar mindset.

I am in the process o signing up for NiteFlirt, and I thinkm I might give TalktoMe a go too. It's just the whole cheque thing wth NF which puts me of.
I think I am going to give SM another go, as well. I can used the bf's pc which is an i7. I made pennies there last time, but I suppose it's worth another go with a better processor.

I am still banking on AW (well "banking I use loosely atm, perhaps "accumulating credits" is a better term), but I feel I want to direct my energy elsewhere until I see my credits.Is that weird? At least I can keep free chat off on AW and hussle somewhere else. It truly is my favourite site, and works so much for me, but this is making motivation tough to maintain. x

They have confirmed that only outstanding payments they doing daily runs on if you want to transfer out by other means you still have to wait for it to be processed on the 1st nov now we missed last night cut off for oct. They also said the believe the compliance issues now sorted funds should be effected this week x

If you want to make (some) money straight away ladies I'd recommend doing mfc. It's much busier than SM which imo has really died. NF is a great site too but it'll take 2 - 3 months till that first pay is physically in your hands x

Thank you, Susie.

I have toyed with the idea of MFC for a couple of years now but for some reason I KEEP bottling it at the last minute. I don't even know why, it's bizarre! I am just convinced I will be outed for some reason..like over night! lol. I am totally OK with it happening at some point, but I don't link my cam profile to my profile on here, as I know some of my regs stalk this forum (creepy AF, lord knows why they told me). I've dipped into the MFC thread a few times and I can't work it out. I know they do privates and true privates, but they don't seem to be common? I've watched some models and looked at their profile and it's full of raffles and public cumshows - which I just won't do. I am worried I would just do it wrong somehow, if I wasn't doing stuff in free, I always think I won't get people in my room? x

sexysusie
10-12-2016, 05:54 AM
Your money will come from tokens in free mainly although the guys who prefer private there are very loyal and usually have long shows in my experience. Pics of you in free absolutely will end up all over google so if you're dead set against that don't do it. Personally I never do anything sexually explicit in free. I will flash and go full frontal nude with my face off cam, never open leg. To be honest I have found most don't even want that. It's a very fun and laid back site once you get into it. Focus on making 'friends' rather than turning them on and you'll get a bunch of loyal regs straight away. The huge bonus of working here is that it'll increase your sales on other sites - link your Manyvids or clips4sale and your twitter. You can sell videos and Vid packages in your room topic. I am not a raffle/gamey person at all and I usually hate free chat on other sites, but you can run your room however you want x

Do you frequently split MFC? I totally see what you mean about the chatty,becoming friends approach as I can talk about a wide range of things and am quite personable. I would just be worried that if AW was pinging in the background and I had to log in and out because of it, I might dive people away?

If I was to start camming say, by the end of the week, would I be able to access money in a couple of weeks? Payout is weekly, is that right? xx

I feel the same regarding AW. I cant do the token sites. I can't see how I would earn even half of what I do on AW when the exchange rate is factored in. I am considering NF and TTM - same as you regarding the chq from NF though Arwen. Collin's DP is in the process of setting up with NF so that would be amazing for us UK girls.

I'm not sure I have enough of a personality for this site lol. I mean I do have one (Obviously) - quite a good one, but it takes me a while to come out of my shell and because of that I always resort to being sexual. That's why I find AW so appealing and it feels 'safe'. I get a pvt/group go straight into action and Im ok when Im there. I can't just chat in group - I never know what to say

I haven't cammed much at all in the last couple of weeks on any site, but yes I split mfc with AW and also have other sites running in the background. I mainly split during the daytime when AW is slower, or after 3am when mfc is much busier, and i focus on whichever site is bringing in the most. If I get a group show on AW i try to encourage a group or private on mfc at the same time and keep both running. It does take a lot of focus to run a token site and private site at the same time though. You may prefer to split your time up between them (I'm just greedy!). You get paid on the 1st and the 16th, so you could work now and get paid in 4 days :D There is payoneer, or you could use daily pay.

@ Lola the exchange doesn't affect things too much. If I earn 1000 tokens an hour on mfc that's $50. Payoneer take $3 and I then get £38.50, the equivalent of earning 60 credits on AW.

Just putting mfc out there as the most viable alternative to AW right now (imo) if you ladies need to earn quickly x

I used to split SM and AW but just go offline on one when I got a show. I think I would need to stay online on MFC..you can go "away", can't you?

Semeyonova: I think it has fairly low requirements, not sure if anyone knows the specifics? It will depend if you're splitting. When I worked for a dodgy studio I actually used my built in cam! x

10-12-2016, 10:05 AM
Yes they love that sort of thing. Do keep in mind though that you need at least 500 - 1000 tokens an hour coming in in order to stay at a 1000 camscore. I would log out for a bit if no or very few tokens after an hour and try again later. Try to make it fun when you're doing other stuff so get them to tip to make you do a squat (if exercising), for sending baked goods in the post (if cooking), if you make x amount of tokens during your shower you'll show all of you instead of just the top half, or you'll send a short vid of it to the highest tipper over x amount etc x

They basically said that its not & they have no idea when it will be but progress has been made. LOl

They CAN read it if they click through to it. But generally they just 'see' the pic and the price on the main cam page and click through from that.

I am often being TOLD I am going to be their fat slut, and that's a guarantee of an ignore or a ban. Nothing in my profile has any hint at all that I am submissive or slutty.

Personally I love it when they come into paid and start abusing me! I looooove it. I watch those numbers go up while the idiot rants at me and then fucks off. I laugh. Totally cheers me up when I get trolled/abused and they are paying ME for this. LMAO.
