Wow haven't been on in ages just logged on so many mega cheap models???

That's true, but I've glanced over the models in group chat on many occasions and noticed a majority of them seem to be the higher priced models.

I like to keep my prices somewhere in the middle range.

I find that the higher my group rates are the more guys come have a peek if I'm already in group.

I have a few findom custies on AW and always tell them to email / message me in advance before they visit my Direct cam. I then set my rates to 5.99 or 6.99 per minute for group and 9.99 for pvt. Sometimes have 1 findom custie and 4 randoms in group at 5.99. Fine with me.

I'm sorry if this has been asked - I've been shifting through this thread and haven't seen it yet.

I'm in the USA and on AW. Anyone here use a Google Voice number? If so, have you had any problems receiving texts or phone calls?

I got a text earlier and replied, and then nothing. He could've just decided he wasn't interested or ... just whatever, but I want to make sure it wasn't an issue on my end. TIA. ♥

Girls who split SM and AW: when you set your rates on SM, do you work them out so that your earnings per minute are roughly the same as AW?

I'm happy with my AW rates of 2/3-ish depending on the time of day - it's a sweet spot I consistently make the most at. But I keep messing with my SM rates, and am never happy. How do you work it out?

Yes, I've kept the earnings - my cut - similar. However, I've noticed just recently that some guys have been shopping around and more are choosing to do privates in AW (don't know if it's because of the exchange rate or if they were having tech problems in SM).

I'm having some major troll issues tonight. I've been in Free Chat for the past 3 hours and not made a single thing! I've had some persistent no-lifer come into my room all night, on god knows how many different accounts, to pester me and ruin my night.

First they'll say something about some sex act they'd let me do to them (e.g. id let u give me a pokey bum wank)
Then they tell me just how miserable/pissed off/bored/tired my face looks and then attempt to wind me up about it.

At first I was sat wondering why so many people thought my adorable cheery little face was miserable and then it dawned on me that this was some epic troll and it had all been more or less the same stuff. Once I started banning them (and god knows how many other people that I thought were them) it got worse and they started talking about rape and what they would do to kids. Their location seems to change on every account and the accounts that aren't private have had several good reviews for webcam sessions (hence why I didnt realise they were all the same person at first).

Its driving me wild, scaring other guys away, has seriously dented my earnings and I'm starting to get a complex about my face. I'm having to log off because I dont know what else to do.

Why is sitting alone on a Saturday night and torturing cam girls who are trying to pay bills a thing? Some people seriously need to rethink their life decisions. I think I just needed to vent a little bit there. I preferred Webcam work because I could ban whoever I want but stuff like this makes me wish I was at the club where I could have someone use force to remove the douche monkeys that ruin my night.

Guys like this are sociopaths and there's no hope nor help available for them so don't take any of their abuse personally - they can't help themselves.

Its taken me years to realise that one of the most common fetishes is pissing some one off & trying their hardest to disgust you - They get off on their offensive & obnoxious behaviour.

These trolls have the same mentality as the old fashioned flashers of years gone by, they've just moved on-line!

I'd screen shot them & get their IP addresses and report them to admin or webmaster when they start chatting about rape and stuff like that.

You don't get paid enough to put up with crap like that - not even Psychiatrists will deal with sorts of scum so why should we?

You can always turn off that free chat & maybe just feature instead x

So,i'm trying to figure out how to work this site..what is the difference between "ready for private" and "waiting for private" status? Same with "in free preview" and "ready for free preview"?

Ready for free is when there is no one in the free chat yet, readyf or private means they are only taking privates x

I very rarely ever bid on my placement when I cam as I don't find it makes much difference however, it does sometimes help for phone chat.

I think that's the thing with AW if you leave it to work on another site you can easily lose your regs - Personally I think AW is the best site for us in UK bar none & its worth just taking the rough with the smooth & just sticking out the quite times rather than jumping ship onto sites like SM.

A lot of AW guys will pay to just sit & chat with you in your lingerie & they won't do that anymore if they can find you & do it for free on free chat site.

If I was ever going to go on a free chat site or even any other cam site I'd do it incognito & change my name & my profile - other wise you just end up losing out by spreading your customers out - rather than keeping them all in one place x

Many of us work both AW and free chat sites successfully actually. They are different types of customers that favour each. I have found mfc is an incredible platform for gaining more indie customers, content sales, and sending far more guys over to my adultwork profile as they know thats the only place to get all of what i offer.

Regarding your cam name, in most cases its best to use the same one on all the sites you use. This helps build a strong brand and means guys can find you anywhere, even if you lose a main site. It also helps your visibility as when guys use the search engines to look for british camgirl or cuckold fetish (insert whatever speciality here) it's your name that will appear over and over on multiple sites, increasing both your appearance of professional credibility, and your chances of being clicked on.

The only time i would use a different name is on one of the very low rate pay per minute sites that I have no plans to stay on. Building a strong brand is the key to long term income. And never put all your eggs in just the AW basket x

It's up to you but free will boost your placement on the online now page and therefore increase your visibility. It can give guys a chance to get to know you a little when you're new, and for you to get the feel of the site. Set it to 5 minutes limit x

I don't agree with that Susie - I think it possible to become "Over Exposed" I have guys I cam with on AW that are just happy to chat with me in my lingerie. I'd lose them if they could get that from me for free on MFC. & I also think if you're popping up all over the show then they can become de-sensitised to seeing you everywhere. All as your doing is just shortening your shelf life. (Like Kim Kardashian)

Its always better to be exclusive if you can & I'd bet my last credit that you won't see any of the top earners from MFC on any other cam site.

I agree with having as many different eggs in your basket though as long as you don't end up neglecting any of them.

We all have different opinions though but I think its better to master one site & build up your business on that one before you move onto the next & if you get the 1st site right then you wouldn't need a second site any except to fall back on if something happens to the 1st site.

I think both perspectives are interesting, actually. I have yet to build a "brand" for myself, but I think both approaches have their merits.
Its like when you work long, consistent hours..some find you become too "available", and like the "OMG she's back onliine..quuuuuick!" approach, whereas others would claim that consistency and more hours online will trump (ugh, hate that word now) any impact the novelty factor may have lol.

For me personally, I find higher rates, with free chat off makes me the most money on a consistent basis as I keep my patience, can be texting a friend or my boyfriend and being smiley or giggly cause of that, and then am in a good mood when I am taken into private. :)

As for being new, I think the placement and the exposure free chat offers definitely helps to begin with, but if you find yourself getting exasperated, just turn it off, do something which you like (I love cleaning an cooking and light yoga when on cam) then leap back into private with a smile on your face.

I wanted to add some pictures to my private gallery. How explicit do you guys go with those? I have a somewhat "classy 40s" sort of look and am not sure what to do..I am thinking a panty stuffing one, strap on etc with no face showing? Is it worth paying for placement in order to push sales for the day? I have never done it before, but is it worth it for gallery sales? xx

LMAO I get what you're saying, though :)

I haven't done any free chat at all this week (not in the half-term, jesus), and it's felt pretty OK. I'm just not brave enough to go very far from cam in case the call drops - how long do you find they're willing to wait for your to pick up?

With galleries, I'd like to hear an answer too - I'm starting to work on a non-nude or rarely-nude goddess hustle, so feel odd about putting explicit pics in there.

Arwen25
10-28-2016, 08:42 AM
Excellent marketing advice there - thank you.

Also had no idea about the watermarking thing - argh!! Should we watermark out profile picture on AW too? Glad you posted that - crikey! SO glad I saw your post before uploading any to my private gallery .. xx

@Danceswithsloths lol thank you! :D I have only missed one call the whole time I think. I don't generally wander too far and am always "cam ready". I would quite like to see what I look like when I do my "ping-cam-run" as I call it.
I know what you mean about it being awkward to market yourself when you're new to the dom side of things. I have been making a lot off cuckolds in particular, especially as I have started developing my dominant side lately, and genuinely enjoying it. But I don't want to become unappealing to my vanilla and slightly more dominant regulars. Bearing in mind doms have to establish the relationship first, and respect me. I don't deal well with having orders barked at me by some random bellend. x

I've cammed on occasion with my MBP and didn't like it at all, similar to you I'm using another laptop to cam. Unsure about settings as I never really changed anything, the only problems I found was that people on Androids/iPad's couldn't get into my room. Just prefer actually having JCI installed and having logs etc.

Ah,i've been using mac for everything work related for the last 2 years,that other laptop is for let's say personal use,even tho i don't use it at all..it's too slow for anything else..guess i'll have to think of something,thanks for the answer.

I've also seen the DP drama. Turns out he can't pay his members at the moment. Guess he bit off more than he can chew.

I understand he has to wait to get paid by AW, but he should not have taken on so many members if he does not have the funds for it.
He seems to be the only daily payment service who can't pay its members.

Totally agree with this. I have done free for 2 years and for the last year have switched it off and on. For the first year I did it religiously and I am positive that the visibility and sheer volume of guys who came into the free room is what carries me through when I cba to do free

There seem to be lots of people who have not been paid for quite a while.

Can understand why they are annoyed though, if I pay 6% for daily pay then I want my money the next day.
Trigger seems to be that Collin doesn't get back to them so they feel left in the dark and don't know where their money is.

No I think it will be not even sent till 1st nov as the date says now and in the last update they say hope to be same day so that is now the tuesday of each week and may even go in on the friday which is the day it says as it now has to go through screening etc each time but as long as we get it each week that is good x

Decided to surf around some ladies in free tonight. One lady had her head down on the desk, so I could see her hair parting, she clearly wasn't doing anything cam-wise, nor paying any attention to the screen or keyboard etc. Yet I was kicked and banned. I guess her manager decided that my 10 seconds in her room was worth the ban!!

I've never had another cam girl in my room. I went into another one's once, but that was because she's a friend and asked me to check if her stream was working ok.

Update: "UK Bank Accounts: All payments due before 1 November have been made. Due to delays in the banking process, payments due to be processed on Tuesday 1 November will likely suffer a one day delay and funds will not hit bank accounts until Wednesday 2 November at the earliest. This includes cheque transfers that were due before 1 November that were converted into UK bank transfers after 25 October."

I really wish this new processor and/or the banks would get their shit together.

I was - but she wasn't looking at the screen at all, she had her head down on the desk. I was only there 10 seconds if that (most of which I spent wondering why she had her head on the desk). Fine if *she* booted me, but she wasn't moving, so someone else must have. No big deal and I know ladies do ban/kick other cammers, I am just intrigued now as to who was working her room for her.
