What the hell? If you're approaching poverty wages get another fucking job! Camming Is a LUXURY and should be bringing you a luxury wage. Seriously, if you're doing so badly that it's not you should think about taking on waitressing/some other non adult job.

If you're answering my thing about living on a tight margin, I probably should have expressed myself clearer. I meant new girls, who come to camming from minimum wage jobs or disability payments, and still have a save-save-save mindset. It takes a while to get rid of this kind of thinking, so paying for advertising or putting any of your credits back into your business feels like lunacy - but it isn't. Paying a few quid for bidding makes good financial sense.

My movies sell better when I cam and even the simplest and shortest of movies will sell...so it's worth having a few just to get that extra income for positioning and to get noticed, then expand on it in time.

You can even change your name.


Every time when I go and change my name on AW i receive this error message "Note: You are not permitted change the services offered at this time."

Not sure what to do, and wondered if anyone had any ideas? Thanks.

Just a head's up...anyone on here who also has a NF listing that they might not log into that often, but don't want to lose, be sure to check the content of your listings as certain subjects are now prohibited (ie. forced intox, anything non-consensual, use of the terms "no taboo/no limits", etc). They're giving us until 28 Feb. to clean them up before they start deleting profiles.

Adultwork is a graveyard for me at the moment with lots of demanding men when I do eventually get a bite but that's okay because the girls don't get released until I'm certain they are going to stay long enough to make it worth my while. They can demand away they won't get anything out of me unless they are polite.

I'm making more money on TTM than AW and they don't even get hardcore shows from me on there now that is embarrassing!

I'm finally getting phone calls on AW, yippie! It took a while for the phone pervs in my niches to notice me, but they're starting to trickle in.

What's the shortest call they could leave feedback for, please? It's 4 min on JCI; is there a similar limit on DirectChat?

Kaya_x
02-22-2017, 06:43 AM
Yeah 4 mins also for Direct Chat too I'm pretty sure!

Classy_Katy
02-22-2017, 06:49 AM
It's 4 minutes for directchat too - it used to be immediate and some guys would repeatedly call girls just to leave negative feedback. We also couldn't block them back then but we can now.

02-22-2017, 06:59 AM
Ah, awesome. This is kind of a quirk, but I like to price my work so that if they've spent less than a fiver, they don't get to express an opinion :)

They also can't connect to you unless they have enough in their account to sustain a 5 minute call. If they can get through, you can therefore assume that they won't get cut off before 5 minutes unless they hang up.

But if they leave before the 5 minutes....say at 4 minutes, you only get the £ for 4 minutes? See on other sites if you set a minimum time and they leave before that time - you get paid for the minimum time set. AW should do something similar, stop all the one minute men.

Kaya_x
02-22-2017, 09:43 AM
Yeah that's right, they only pay for the time that they are on the phone on Direct Chat, which is a shame as I sometimes get the odd call lasting less than a minute or two

Classy_Katy
02-22-2017, 11:15 AM
It's the same as directcam, they choose the time they want to be on (or the system kicks them off). They can use the booked system if we enable it. In the early days, it was only bookings on AW.

Was quiet today I paid for placement and got 11 credits sat in free for three hours. I guess it's pay week so maybe it wil pick up by Friday. SM was slow today too. Fingers crossed for tomorrow! Someone did mention to me my stream was a bit glitchy so maybe that was it?

Have you girls got all the options on? I have made 100 today on phone and a couple of gallery sales. It's worth taking advantage of all the features. As has been said before as well, split cam. If you don't already, start now. None of us can afford to rely on just one site x

goddesslouboutin
02-22-2017, 02:34 PM
100 on phone and gallery? May I ask what you charge per min for phone and for your gallery? And what kindof footfall do you get to your profile? I have been on aw since June and I have only had about 30k views. For sometime I was offering phone for 1.00 a min and even when paying for placement I was getting one call a day if lucky!

goddesslouboutin
02-22-2017, 02:41 PM
I have noticed some girls tick the escort box even though they don't escort and they seem to all be the ones with the most profile views. Is that the trick to bring in more footfall?

Blonde-Ambition
02-22-2017, 02:58 PM
just had a really long private thank GOD! i do all of the above susie, 4 sites on the go, phone chat, text, vids and pics! at the moment, it's like they all either go off at once or none at all!

02-22-2017, 02:59 PM

A lot of people seem to be doing it. How would they be able to filter it though. If you have it advertised its up to you if you accept bookings or not

sexysusie
02-22-2017, 05:24 PM
They do check and will suspend your account or even delete it permanently if you keep breaking the rules. I advertised escort services for a while and it kept getting unticked and eventually I got a warning because people kept reporting me (butthurt guys I wouldn't respond to)

I charge £3 for phone and only 1.99 for gallery. I don't get many calls either (they are long and I up sell and cross sell to make more). I have been on AW for over 5 years though and have lots of regulars. I think you should up your rates asap, and get advertising. You can't just rely on AW footfall. Tweet, use instagram, use periscope, snapchat, put teaser videos out, regularly change your free intro video and pics on AW, add pictures and videos regularly, update your profile, use forums and put your aw profile link in your signature. You don't need to do all of that but there's some ideas. Don't think low rates will being guys in, they won't. There are cheap and FREE camshows and porn out there and ALL guys know where to go to get it. If they're on AW they're willing to spend. Your job is to get them to your profile x

Guys will report the girls. This is a big issue for genuine guys wanting to book escorts and they discuss these girls on their forums.

Interesting never new this. Doesn't apply to me anyway as I don't offer escorting on my profile and never have just wondered if this is how some of the girls are getting all the views as I know openly a few girls doing this

Those of you girls who pay attention to your gallery, do you put nice professional photos there, or mostly candid shots/selfies? Do you have an update schedule, like you would for your own paysite?

My gallery is pathetic, like under 10 shots (people still buy in at 0.5). It's the next thing on my list to give some love to, but I'm not sure whether to think of it as a mini-paysite or more of a paid Instagram.

ETA I'll obviously raise the price once there're more pics there, though not sure how many I actually fancy bothering putting up.

Classy_Katy
02-23-2017, 03:58 AM
If you make movies/clips you can just take a snapshot of a frame and add that to your gallery. I don't update mine regularly though. Being on cam is more likely to bring in sales for me.

Yep! I was reported (and the escort box got unticked and I couldn't change it) because I ignored a message from a guy who on cam was saying he wanted to bareback me, meet in a hotel now (4am), "be a shame if we didn't make this happen" says his message. I ignored. He reported. AW removed me from the escort section and I could no longer offer escort services (even though at the time I really was escorting).

Hey, Mine are mainly naughty selfies. I also take images with my webcam and put them on there. Or use my webcam to take posy pics. My hubby also takes pics of when we are having fun that go in there.

It surprises me how few girls are broadcasting in HD...there's a separate page for it http://www.adultwork.com/TV/Categories.asp?CategoryID=-11

Only 140 out of 424 girls online in HD.

This week has been odd. For the first week in a long time I have made more on sm this week. Usually AW brings 80 pc of my income out those two sites. Due to it being so quiet I have been doing lots of texting for the texting site I work for this week.

I'm getting loads of guys coming in saying hi you look great then there just leaving lol
Ups and downs hey

If you're doing paid only, then they're just coming in to look at you because they can't see you in free preview. If you're doing free preview, they might be on their phone or a tablet, which seem to disconnect more readily. They're not spending now like they were before Christmas. I always start with smiling and saying "hi, how are you?" then wait a bit for a response. Perhaps some girls do immediately launch into stripping but I like to make contact first, set the scene if it's group (I do my own show) or find out what they'd like if it's private. As money seems to be tight, they may not want to hang around and just chat, I must admit I don't chat unless they want to but I don't strip immediately either, there's that intro phase first.

So on AW I have tried a dozen times to update my pictures but they do not show on my profile and I feel like this is fucking with my money because those pics are good and I want them to show. What's the deal with everything else on my profile updating except for pictures, it just never goes through when it is supposed to. Is there an email or link to contact adultwork by?

02-27-2017, 03:32 AM
ok thanks hun thats helped a lot yea i know what you mean its hard within the first few seconds on private they normal have a pacific request but on group they tend to hop in and out!its a bit easier in private as they kind of tell you what they want like some fetish , but in group i find it difficult, i do smile and say hello or something like 'are you feeling naughty tonight' and it goes from there it defo seems like they are really impatient prob because they are limited for money maybe i should start a show like doing a strip dance for when they come on so there coming into something and less likely to leave i suppose its just about getting the right balance x
