Okay so sometimes I'll have a guy seem really eager to go into group or private. So we're in and before I even have my clothes off all the way they'll leave, like not even when I'm fully naked. Is it because they immediately decide they don't like how the show is going and they peace out?

That happens all the time on AW, hon. I think sometimes they can't actually see the video until they've been in the room for about 20 seconds or so, so they leave in case they get charged for it (which they don't).

Sometimes they go in with only a few credits but also justcamit is full of gremlins...AW confirmed to me last year in an email that they were aware of this problem but have since denied all knowledge.
Sometimes in group they get chucked out by justcamit within a minute and sometimes they can't get into private at all...today I was expecting 2 private sessions that should have happened but didn't. I know it plays up because the guys tell me and sometimes they are regulars who can't get a show with me. I had one guy who tried group 4 times, kept being chucked out but then tried private and it was ok. The thing is a nightmare!

Hopefully Im not hijacking this thread! I posted on the other work thread, but thought I might get more responses if I were to post on the AW specific thread.
Although, my question is to do with offering phone sex via the adultwork site, rather than camming.
What I basically would like to know is if any of you get a decent amount of work doing just phone sex alone on AW. Before getting into camming, I am hoping just to do Phone sex through Adultwork, but have a feeling that I wont get too much work.
I am based in the UK.
Am I right?

It really varies...some girls seem to be really busy with phone chat and others not. All you can do is try it and see but there are many who just do phone chat and instant message.

Hi Katy - its good to know that some are busy doing phone chat and texting alone! It will be interesting to know the earnings potential. I guess there is only one way to find out!

hey i only recently joined aw to cam and thus far haven't had a single guy come into chat with me! it was driving me crazy but then i realised i wasnt showing up on the website... i mean, my profile is there, but when im logged into justcamit (which seems fine, connection says 'good') i dont get the 'available on directcam' like on other girls profiles...occasionally it appears when i first log in then disappears when i refresh. ive messaged aw but they just give a generic reply. any ideas?? :/

What response do they give you?
Sounds like the net is dropping but you would know as it should log you out on your side.
You can try the online version to see if it helps

first they said it can take upto 5 minutes to appear online... but it doesn't matter how long i stay on, and in actual fact i do mostly appear online right away, it just goes within a minute or so... then they just sent me a standard message linking me to , obviously totally misunderstanding my problem. i tried the online version, but the same issue occurs :( but thanks for trying!

do girls need to verified to cam on adultwork? surely i couldnt even login to JCI if that were the case? im in the uk and just from browsing it seems quite alot of camgirls are verified..
ok i checked my aw messages and some guy has messaged me twice saying he tried to come in chat and i was showing as online but he kept getting 'this user is offline' messages, yet it still said i was online..

I get the same problem with direct chat. It sounds likea glitch their end. Go to the help section, open up a help topic then close it and it will take you to a leave feedback/ does this answer your question sort of page. If you explain your issue via that form exactly as you have done here, they should get back to you quicker.
You can also set your webcam availability to on as well as having justcamit/ directcam on. That allows guys to order a prebooked show via skype/ msn etc. Turn on that setting in my details > edit profile > profile details > webcam tab (set your prices and IM names). Then at least if JCI is still playing up you can get some prebooked shows :)
You don't have to be verified to cam but you will get more business and seem more trustworthy if you are x

I thought they turned off text?
Phone chat on aw is slow and full of bugs. The directchat service also takes an extra % on top of aw's 30%. It certainly won't pay your bills x

Not texting as in SMS...directIM.
Some girls are prolific phone chatters...you can see how much feedback they acquire very fast. You won't know if you're one of them without trying it though.

Hello, I have a quick question I've been searching it but nothing relevant comes up.. If asked before I apologize in advance. I've been working AW for a while now and was doing it from 2 different lap tops one which wouldn't let me use direct cam at the same time as ImLive and one that would.. I know have a new third laptop and it seems to not be letting me log into both at the same time... is it possible to fix this??

Hi,
Im going to start camming on AW and have a some questions.
I have heard that if you offer a "free preview" mode (not the guest option) that you are not allowed to be nude?
if that is correct can you tell me how the following would work. say i'm camming and a number of guys are in my room, in group mode, paying per minute, and im putting on a show for them. what would happen if someone wanted to watch my cam in "free preview" mode? would they be allowed in? which woudl be awkward as i'd be nude OR are they prevented from entering as i'm putting on a show. if the latter, what stops them from entering my room?
BlondebombGA
09-30-2012, 10:18 PM
On AW, if someone takes you to group free view ends, so anyone else entering would be a paying client therefore nudity is ok.

You will either be in free preview, group or private. Guys can't view you in free preview if you are in a paid session, just as they can't take you into a private session if you are already in group. The system stops them going in.
You can't go nude in free preview but you will need to remind the guys as they'll try to push it....there is a notice at the top of the box telling them they must not ask the model to go naked.
Some will ask you to do things on the promise of taking you into a private session, or will say they're going to take you into a private session expecting you then to get excited and change your position...ignore them. I used to twirl etc in free preview but I now just direct them to my profile where they can see my pictures or they can have a show with me if they want to see more...there's so many that only come in for a free wank. If I do free preview I have my settings at 5 mins in 24 hours.

im a bit confused, but maybe lets look at this differently. say i didnt have free preview mode at all. if i went on cam, anyone who enters would be in the group mode and paying per minute right? or is there a mode they are all in, still paying per minute (as no free preview) and then someone requests group or private? i guess im trying to not loook like a complete numpty when i start my cam work on aw :-)

There is only free preview or group or private.
If you don't use free preview, they will choose either group or private.

Usually if one doesnt work use the other one :) Not sure if there is any big drawbacks for either.
Online version is flash based though so should work with mac's. The downloaded one doesnt if I remember right.

I'm STILL having issues where the cam to cam option is grayed out, and as a result, I'm losing money, because when I tell guys that c2c won't work for me, they end the session. :(
I clicked on those links you sent me a while back, and I DO have the H264 and SPEEX options enabled. I don't know what else there is to do. I used to be able to do cam to cam, and now for the past few months the option isn't available for me anymore.

Yup, this is exactly what I decided to do when I realized that there wasn't much else for me to do, so I reinstalled the JCI software. :) I will know for sure whether or not the C2C feature works when I log onto AW this afternoon. *crosses fingers* Watching guys J/O on cam is actually a turn-on for me, so I hope that it works! LOL. Thanks, Vlodina.

I've been finding this lately and have experienced gremlins in justcamit since I started...sometimes guys can't get into private and sometimes they keep getting chucked out of group.

Okay, so re-installing JustCamIt did absolutely NOTHING for me. I lost a customer just now, because when he asked to do C2C, the fucking 2-way option was grayed out...AGAIN.
Just my luck...I get A LOT of guys on AW asking to do C2C, and I end up losing them as customers because I can't do it now. Fucking ridiculous.....

Sounds like Justcamit...but if you're not doing free preview, guys will sometimes come in just to look and go before they get charged anything.

This is pretty common with guys trying to pay your lower rate. They pop in real quick...I guess to see if you're in the middle of fucking a toy, and then they bounce. Guys do this a lot on Streamate (in premium chat shows) and on MyFreeCams group and private shows. Some models (on different cam sites) choose to do toys shows only in exclusive chat (SM) or private chat (AW), and I've been doing the same lately too. Helps weed out some of the guys who are just looking to pop in for a few seconds to see dildo play.

I think because AW fortunately isn't free chat angled, there are less ways for guys to be freeloaders/ cheapos. The only way they can get their cheapo thrills is by going into group where most girls charge less. But when they see other guys it kills the thrill and off they pop.

I didn't notice if you had tried this before, but once I had that problem and it's because i had the wrong things selected in the settings.
You have to have these two things selected for the 2 way to function: "This feature only works with H264 video and Speex audio."

Thanks. I double-checked my settings, and I have H264 and Speex selected. I have no idea why the C2C feature won't work for me anymore...I love C2C, and I get a lot of guys on there who ask for it. The minute I tell them that the feature hasn't been working for me, they end the session. :(

Featuring ?? Worth it or not. I've been keeping my own little charts, as I Feature most days for phone and alternative, but I can't quite tell if it's worth it in the long run yet. My only concern (phone) is that because I'm American it's harder for them to find me which is why I keep it going. I'm just asking today, because I glanced at photo gallery featuring and it is almost as expensive as cam feature. Are photos really that lucrative on AW?? Everyone sells them so cheap.
Vlodina
10-08-2012, 12:03 PM
I've always had my gallery quite high, recently I've had it as high as 11 (for a week) because if it's 10 or less then they will just use their freeviews. I feel justified charging that much seeing as i almost have 1000 photos) but it only sells once a week. But god knows how many were wanking for free when I had it as less than 10?!
As an experiment last week, from Tuesday through to Sunday I put my gallery down to 2 credits/24 hours thinking that would not be worth wasting a freeview on, and hoping that I might get mass sales to make it worthwhile. Well... Two guys bought it, 4 whole credits for me. Fuck that, it's back to 11/week.
As for featuring I don't really know, I just use direct cam positioning.
Classy_Katy
10-08-2012, 12:08 PM
Personally I wouldn't bother with photo featuring. Movie featuring works for some. I tried webcam featuring for a month but for me it wasn't worth it. Phone featuring can help but I had a week once without a single call when I was featured daily, maybe it was directchat playing up as it was really strange.
Classy_Katy
10-08-2012, 12:12 PM
P.S. I used to have my gallery at 3 credits for a day but find I make a bit more when it's 11 or 12 credits for a week...they can so easily download our pictures I figured they may as well really pay for them if they're going to keep them (especially as they'll use their freeview allowance), and hopefully put off those that only buy to download and make use of them elsewhere.
Vlodina
10-08-2012, 12:15 PM
Rather than featuring, I'm more interested in DirectCammer of the Day etc, but it's sooo expensive! I'd want to be guaranteed that it would be worth it.

Challenging tech problems like this drive me nuts trying to think what it might be :)
One other thing that occurred to me is that it could be something about your ISP blocking ports. That has happened to me in the past and I had to fool around with router settings and unblock ports and reroute things. It was a pain but I finally figured it out.
One way to tell if it could be that issue blocking cam2cam is to try it from your same net connection but from another computer, if you have another one you could hook up temporarily. Also you can check your ports and see which if any are blocked with the PortDetective site (just google it).
One other thing that's quick and easy you could try is to go into regedit, carefully delete all justcamit entries in the registry, then restart justcamit. You can uninstall all you want but if the registry entry is corrupted it will stlil pull from that setting. *warning* be super super careful when editing the registry, especially if you haven't done it before, and back it up first so if anything goes wrong you can restore it.
Hope you can get it figured out soon!
BlondebombGA
10-08-2012, 01:33 PM
See I was curious about that too Vlodina, but for me it would only feature me for the US I'm pretty sure, and I have the States blocked. So poop. Well I finally bought far enough in advance that I have this whole month at the cheap rate for phone feature, so I'll run my stats next month, and let you know what comes up. I wish I could just ask every guy. Lol "Would you mind answering a few brief questions before I get you off sir?"

BlondebombGA
10-08-2012, 04:23 PM
They may think her pics are taken from someone else, and not really her. Also, I may be thinking of another website, but isn't there something in the TOS about profile pic can't be profile pic on other sites or something like that? Am I thinking correctly? Either way, no, your friend can't re-register until you clear it up through AW.
