Quick one...

Had a few customers as of late that have gone into private and asked to email me pics of them to laugh at etc. Is that ok to give my email address out for them to do that? I couldn't remember if terms allow that or not or if its banned x

I think any form of contact outside the site isn't allowed. You should also be weary of opening emails from strangers :) Can't you just get them to upload them to their own AW profile?

No dropping, but zero customers. Not even any twatty AW messages.

I got nothing on AW yesterday either, except for a gallery purchase which I promptly spent on bidding. Oh well, they'll be back soon enough.

It's in your directcam settings, you click the box for - I wish to provide typed text-chat only, (called DirectIM), with no video sent from my PC or shown to clients. Then change your prices.

No, but I wish you could offer both simultaneously. There are days that I feel like I'm shooting myself in the foot sitting on cam all day for pennies when I usually do quite well on IM.

They should have been paid today, mostly. Credit card bills will still be an issue so it may also be slow in February but not as bad as January, generally speaking. Friday should be better and I personally find Mondays better than Fridays...it's as if they realise that they haven't had sex all weekend, on Fridays they're still hopeful.

Hi all, i have a q about the utr number. I have one but its online via my self-assessment bit. Can i just screenshot this into them or did they need actual paperwork? what will they be needing? name, address and number? or is my number screenshotted online and name enough?

Also how seriously do they take abuse on the here? is there any point reporting it?

sexysusie
01-28-2017, 05:39 AM
Yes report it, they may ban the member. For the admin fee waive you need to show a copy of your last self assessment tax return showing the amount paid. They have also accepted letters from chartered accountants to confirm that lady is in fact self employed and paying taxes.

ok i will send a report of the threats. Since I only started in the last 3 months, i don't have a return yet? this years return will be from my civvie job? I won't have any proof i've paid until next year when I submit?

sexysusie
01-28-2017, 07:06 AM
Until you are paying self assessment taxes you won't be able to do it then as technically what's happening is AW is switching the vat burden from themselves to you under 'reverse charge provision'. This means that you account for it yourself. Even though you don't actually need to do anything for it in your own accounts unless you earn over the threshold and are subject to VAT payments, you need to actually be paying tax to establish that in the first place. It may be worth an email to AW to explain you're in you're first year of self employment and don't yet have any proof of taxes paid, but will they accept a letter from HMRC or your accountant to show you are nevertheless registered as self employed. They may make an exception but don't count on it. Do submit the paperwork when you can though, as it's worth saving yourself the extra money x

What a complicated system for those of us who are new :/ I will ask them what can be accepted if someone is in their first year of starting out. If it can't be accepted until
next year, will they refund the admin charges made from now until then?

sexysusie
01-28-2017, 08:20 AM
If you're set up as a limited company I believe you can claim them back on your return? I am a sole trader so I'm not very familiar with that though so you'd Need to research it x

LolaLu
01-28-2017, 09:28 AM
Im pretty sure thats a 'No' Winni. I think AW will refund you a 'reasonable' amount of the admin charge but that's subjective. It would probably only be a week or 2 I imagine. Maybe try and get a letter from HMRC with your UTR on and saying you're self employed. Or even a request to submit a return x That might be ok for them

Okay, don't know if I'm being a little OTT, but I'm getting models/workers coming in my IM room, this one in particular quite a lot of late, presumably others do as well (happens in free preview on IM) , I just feel like she's trying to self promote hoping there are customers in my room. Do the rest of you face this problem and ban? I sometimes get girls coming in my room but if they talk to me, I'm not bothered, as they'd usually ask for help with something about the site etc.

BAN BAN BAN!

You are not there to provide help to other models either, you're at work and they're taking you away from potentially paying customers.

I get them coming and just staring without saying anything. Asking if I'm busy. Sometimes abusive to me. I don't know where they get the nerve to think going into another girl's room is in any way acceptable!

Do any of you girls have a goal for how many profile hits you try to get, or maybe a certain hits to £ ratio as one of your goals?

I haven't been tracking them at all, but today I was bored and calculated that in Dec my total hits to total credits was 2:1, and this month it's more like 1.5:1, whereas in November it was close to 1.2:1. So now I'm racking my brain, trying to remember what photos I was using, etc, when conversions were better.

Am I overthinking it?

How are you working this out?

You can see the profile hits on "My Details" screen. When you click on the number of hits, it opens a new window where you can pick a start date and an end date, and it'll tell you how many views you had each day and overall in that stretch of time. When you divide that number by the credits you made in that time, you have your conversion ratio.

Nope, doesn't make any difference. I've made 100's on days i've had very few hits, and sometimes pittance on days my views have been massive. No rhyme or reason x

Not sure if this is relevant for anyone, but it appears that Payoneer has become FirstChoice Pay and they can now issue pre-paid cards in GBP. If you already have a Payoneer card that's in USD, you can apply for another account in GBP. I don't use Payoneer/FirstChoice Pay, but if any of you do, there's an article in the Help section about it.

Its SO DEAD! Been the same for me a lot of last week and for the last few days, I have no clue why! January was so much better than this and I really thought it would have picked up by now. I even braved free chat earlier (which I never do) and that was just as dead :| xx

Today I found barely anyone could see the button for my private chat. Eventually as a last resort I tried free and bam, guys could get into private from there. Also I had soooo many -10 second group shows between 1 - 4, like in out in out, it was ridiculous. Got much better in the last few hours but I was so sick of it from earlier it affected my mood and I had to come away. Streamate was beating AW by miles until the last hour!

Classy_Katy
02-08-2017, 01:59 PM
I have had that before...regulars could only come into private if I was in free.

I have also had guys leave shows (different shows) after exactly the same time, to the second.

There were 480 on in the afternoon at one point. I still think they can't handle the bandwith if all the models on at once with all their customers so they can only really accommodate so many in paid at one time.

02-08-2017, 03:31 PM
What are your rates and how is your lighting? It may seem daft but higher rates can make you stand out and get more business, simply because you're reducing buyer decision fatigue. Also more lighting can instantly make your stream look better (really important on sites like sm) and make guys see you as higher quality. Just some thoughts x

£1.99 group/$2.99 private

sexysusie
02-08-2017, 03:51 PM
Everyone is at that rate! I am usually good at 2.99/3.99 but lately there's lots more at that rate so I've taken to putting it to £3/ £5. You can bet (like today) I'll go a whole hour with barely anything at 3.99 (or lower), but raise it to 5 and there's someone in right away. Doesn't have to be the pound amount either, try an odd ending like 2.59/3.25. The bonus is you need less customers at higher rates to make the same or more money, and it also frees up time to do shows on other sites (also at high rates) :)
