I what truly LOVE about Adultwork is that you can still block after they left. That's AWESOME!

We can't block them from DirectCam after they've left...unless I'm missing something. We can block them from other things though, which is useful.

I'm so annoyed with aw right now.They suspended my account for some of my photos not being exclusive (my fault, I misread the terms of service. I thought only one photo had to be exclusive, not all of them.) And also because they don't understand that I'm a US citizen living abroad.

They sent me a pretty nasty email accusing me of pretending to be someone else and another saying that I'm trying to lie to them about where I'm from.

I'm super irritated because:
I can't start making money there
I was super confused by their sign up process (even after reading the threads here about aw)
They are being dicks in their emails about this whole thing.

I don't need them to be nice to me. Just to approve my account so I can work.

Yes, you can. This is how I do it: go to email, on the left click block senders, click add by nickname, put in their nickname, check whatever you want to block them from, and click submit.

I've written to Paxum again, asking if they're intending on ever reinstating bank verifications so that those of us who weren't verified before can also do EFT. Their response:

"Although we can not provide an exact timeframe, rest assured that we are trying to restore the bank account verification service as soon as possible, as we are aware that it affects many of our customers. Once it is re-enabled, the 'Sign Authorization' link will be available next to your bank account."

So I guess for my earnings that come through Paxum, I'll just let them build up until they either reinstate UK bank verifications to do EFT, or I have enough accrued to justify making a $50 wire transfer.

Yes, that's what I would do, just do a wire transfer every 6 months & I reckon they will have EFT available again for everyone from the sounds of it.

Just remember to take note of your password & keep it safe. Twice not they've routinely asked me to change it.

I would imagine they would be a nightmare to deal with if you ever lost or forgot it x

I am sure this is incorrect. You're allowed to put whatever you like on your pics, as long as it's not a web URL (unless that is your business name and can prove it) or a phone number, or of course anything that encourages off-site sales etc.

No, that's not what the Webmaster told me and might still have the email.

He definitely said that I can't watermark my pictures with any name other than the name that my business is registered too. He also sent a link to the relevant help desk article which said the same.

It was over a year ago though so that may well of changed.

At the time I asked if I could put my Adult Work user name on my pictures and they said no.

If you are thinking of watermarking any pictures I would just double check with admin to be on the safe side.

I also asked if I could water mark my Direct Cam stream using many cam & they said no to that too. I thought it would be a good idea :)

Dunelm Mill is now stock alphabet cushions.

These might be a good work around for when we're on cam & to maybe help stop people stealing our pictures.

We can use them to spell out our usernames - I'm thinking of getting myself some.

They're £4.99 each.

Marina might be getting confused with Direct Chat - I'm fairly sure you can also block Direct Chat customers after they have called.

It would be good if we could have the facility to block Direct Cam customers after they've left.

The list refers to webcam, so it's easy to think that it means DirectCam but it's only the booked variety. AW can only block customers that go through their site, justcamit is a separate application.

It's ridiculous for AW to ask use to watermark with our trading name as in most cases that is our real name. This should be pointed out to them if they insist that anyone watermarks this way. Whoever suggested this is clearly not thinking.

I did point that out at the time Katy but that was what they said.

I guess its something they don't actually enforce though as I've seen plenty of profiles that have been watermarked but I wouldn't risk it myself since I asked & received the reply that I got along with a link to the relevant article in the help centre.

When I first joined the site as an Escort I did actually copy my own pictures from another site that I advertised on which had already been water marked through a program the other site used & no one at AdultWork objected to that at the time but my profile on that site was linked to my Adultwork profile so maybe that was why I got away with it then but I personally wouldn't risk it.

I just found this in the help centre to help clear up any confusion.

Also is anyone finding this month a struggle? I am getting traffic in my room but I cannot seem to convert it this month. I am using all my usual tricks that work and I am struggling this month. Guys are doing the whole hi how are you where you from them buggering off out the chat and even my prvt shows there really impatient and clicking off after a min or so. I have also upgraded my lighting this month so I thought I would have a great month. Just wanted to see if its just because it is January and everyone is broke.

I cam as much as possible before Christmas so I don't have to worry about January, so I'm focusing on other things this month. People generally get paid early in December, so they get they're monthly pay before Christmas, then January is a long month already and they have to wait until almost the end to get paid again. Then during January they get their credit card bills for Christmas spending, so those two things combined make them more broke than in any other month.

Blue-Velvet

Due to health and burnout reasons, I haven't cammed since before Christmas. I hopped on yesterday for a regular, and was immediately bombarded with sessions. Before, I would have days of sitting there for several hours only to make 16p (I don't do free chat...my personality dictates that I'd rather talk to nobody for hours and make nothing than talk to freeloading idiots to keep me company). I think sometimes it helps to take a little break if things are slow and you're just not feeling it. It seems like when you make a rare reappearance, they all come running. I realise not everybody is in a financial position to take a break, and I've been very lucky this month with being unusually busy on phone and IM, but sometimes I think you just need to step away for a while to refresh your outlook and game. January is a good month for that because it has always been notoriously slow for reasons Katy pointed out.

Sorry if these are super dumb questions, but I've just set up my AW profile ready for Monday, but unsure about a few things. I am right in thinking that for booked webcam and phone sessions, you will do these sessions via Skype? And then for the Directcam, you need the AW Encoder - and then be logged on all the time? And what happens when someone just comes into directcam? Will you know straight away? lol. Sorry. I feel like such as dumbass asking these things. :)

Skype for booked webcam - make sure they confirm the booking after you have accepted it, make sure they don't lower the price of the show, never give your skype address in advance, they will see it once the booking is confirmed. You will also see their skype address after they confirm but usually the name they put there is not their skype address. You can email them once they place a booking to sort out fuck ups. You must tell them when the time is up and suggest they make another booking or they may just try to go on forever. Some guys target newbies with skype bookings to con them.

Use a phone for phone chat bookings, otherwise you'll get guys wanting a webcam show but paying the phone chat price...unless you're happy to deal with the hassle of telling them they booked the wrong service. I don't offer booked phone chat at all. If you set it up for them to call you, they will naturally see your phone number.

When you get a call through directchat, you will hear an automated voice from Adultwork and you press 1 to accept the call.

When someone comes through on directcam, you'll hear bleeping and you will see a box telling you the name and if it's group or private and you click to accept. You use Justcamit for directcam.

Yup that's how I work. People always say this month or day or holiday etc is 'quiet'. It isn't, you just need to change things up a bit. Barring stupid glitches/site problems, there's nearly always a way you can change things on your end to ensure you're earning what you want to x

I'm sorry you've had health and burnout issues, I hardly cammed at all from May to October and I had a very busy November and December as a result. I had a good day the other week when I hopped on for a regular too but still taking this month out from camming. Absence makes the dick grow harder!

It was ages since I verified my number but I remember having problems too.

Do you get the verification text through Ok? I remember I kept replying to the text and then eventually it accepted it.

If you're not getting the text that you need to reply to then I'd just send an email as it must be a glitch x

Yes - I've found this week a little slow but tonight has been good. The Guys should be starting to get paid again now this week.

Tax bill time this month doesn't help us much either.

Escorts are also usually quite on average in January - I think every busness goes through a lull at some point in January. I'm always usually busy in January for some reason - Its usually February that's bad for me.
