iv had this problem , it seems to me when i update it takes a a few days and even when my pic still looks like the old one .. i have clients come in that say oh i like your new pic so its as if you cant see it but they can , maybe email another girl and get her to look at your profile and see if they can see that its changed, if not email a/w and ask if theres a problem. iv just updated 3 of mine and one has updates but the other two are the same its annoying. even though some of my friends on here their pic updates straight away its like iv been cursed haha x

Put it on your strapline to say it...that's on your justcamit settings window. If you're not showing on the page for girls online and in HD, that will probably because your internet isn't fast enough (it's the upload speed that matters) or you haven't got the settings at their highest within justcamit. Having an HD webcam is great but doesn't mean that your video stream will be in HD.

Well, I finally braved coming back on DirectCam and my first guy (quell surprise) came into group, sat silent for ages after I said hello, and then said the screen was frozen. I've had this before. I'm using a Logitech C920, my download speed is 44.91Mb/s and my upload speed is 20.38Mb/s, and my laptop processor is i5. I know I could stand to have a better processor, but I'm not splitcamming. Is there something else I should check, or are they just using shitty devices with their own shitty broadband speeds?

I would have thought you'd be fine. An i5 is still a decent laptop and I used to use one for camming. If it is on your side, maybe your c920 is on it's way out. Have you got a spare webcam that you can experiment with? Using a wired connection helps.

I have a backup cam, but it's shit. Funnily enough, I just had another guy pop in who said I was crystal clear! I think people must just be trying to use their crappy phones, tablets, and broadband to access DirectCam and then think it's our fault when the feed is shit.

Its not just you, I think some of them expect you to answer naked!! Just keep on doing what your doing, the right ones will stay :D
I've had an awful lot of this lately. I agree that they expect you naked and fucking within 3 seconds.
Dance to your own tune babe, not theirs. That way you'll get quality custies who will enjoy you and your shows.

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?
After you've loaded them go to the profile and clear cookies etc. Then refresh the page. That seems to work for me.

99% of the time it's their end. If your cam isn't frozen on your end then the issue is usually with them not you. They seem to think they can view an HD stream on a phone while their entire family is surfing the net and their sons are on the xbox or stream HD while having music and porn also streaming in the background on a 9mb/'s bb connection.

yeah me to i dont get it did okish through the day and the night was bad the thing is they are there because the min free preview goes on i people pile in and ask you 101 questions but still dont go into payed chat i thought preview would work well but it just seems like im sitting there for half an hour getting questions like how much do you charge an hour , or can you give me a spin .... so i dont really know whats best preview or sit tight ....? how does this work for everyone else ? x
Arwen25
03-02-2017, 04:32 AM
I find it really varies, myself.
I think some guys, just do a search for girls in free preview and then come into your room if you're one of those offering it. I know for a fact that I've turned some of those into payers, who might not otherwise have *seen* me due to their approach to the site.
Having said that, a lot of the guys who pop into free continuously have never spent a penny on me and on the days I offer it, sometimes they are the only ones popping in haha and it just ends up wearing you our faster!
I think it's swings an roundabouts really..if you are in a chirpy enough mood to deal with it then switch it on for a bit, you might gain more visibility, if not, don't sweat it and maybe bit a bid for placement instead. X
Charlottemandson
03-02-2017, 05:06 AM
thanks hun yeah i defo know what you mean its hit and miss sometimes im on there for ages and i think christ sake haha so i mix it up and go into ready for group or private lol i know some girls do really well on it thats all they every do is preview and they go straight into private ! maybe they have built up their regulars i guess and i didnt even know either that anyone thats not a member can just view you as i was getting loads of guests with funny numbers at the end and i realised its just anyone that go onto a/w and browse ... :O lol x
Classy_Katy
03-02-2017, 05:15 AM
Free preview works better for me than paid only (I've tested it). But if you're getting drained or fed up, go into paid only. Limit free preview to 5 minutes in 24 hours. You can set whether you have guests or not in your justcamit settings. I tend to switch between the 2 and that can be effective in itself (now you see me, now you don't!).
As Arwen said, some guys will search by girls who offer free preview. Depending on how they go into the webcam section, they can see all the girls in free preview listed before those in paid only. I don't face my webcam unless I turn to talk to them, and I busy myself on another laptop, it makes it easy for me to ignore idiots and I don't have to smile all the time.
You can just tell them to look at your profile for the answers if you get too many questions or you'll tell them in a show or if they tip you. I don't move unless they tip me. Remember that nudity isn't allowed in free and tell them to read the notice in their window if they ask (they are told not to ask).

Another week of earning more on TTM than AW - this is definitely not normal. It's like camming in general has taken a complete nosedive off the nearest cliff, it's not just SM it's pretty much everywhere.
I have no idea how my bills are getting paid this month because I'm earning peanuts.
Arwen25
03-02-2017, 12:19 PM
I am so sorry to hear this, Teddy.
For what it's worth I find your dedication inspiring.
Have you tried different times at all? I had a good shift getting up ridiculously early this morning. It was also a comfort as I knew I could caffeinate (I hate having more than two coffees) and soldier on if I needed to.
I am sure a big spender will appear soon, anyway. <3
It would be brilliant if there was another Privates based site to split AW with..I just do it alongside Indie but would love an alternative until I get a stronger system. X
DancesWithSloths
03-02-2017, 12:25 PM
I have to say, an 7am shift is impressive if you can manage to look hot at that time of day. I wake up early anyway, 6.30 or 7, but it takes at least 2 hrs for my face to stop looking like a crumpled hankie.
Do you do free preview at 7am, Arwen? Or is it more the case of drinking coffee and waking up while waiting for the buzzer to go off? I could just about manage the latter, maaaaybe.
Arwen25
03-02-2017, 01:08 PM
Haha, it takes some effort! I generally give myself 30 minutes for the caffeine to kick in, then I go for it. I actually find it hard to look decent any time after 10 pm..dunno why really, I just start rubbing at my eyes and spacing out. It's sort of a different kind of tiredness when it's late, I suppose
I don't do free preview at that time, I just put 1 credit an hour on placement until it gets busier..for the first couple of hours there were only two pages on.
I'd say if you're up that time anyway, give it a go. Let the coffee work it's magic, put on a bit more base than normal an go for it. :) I think it's probably more lucrative in the early hours - I did that once and it was - but I just can't stick to it, being nocturnal makes me feel unwell these days.

I can't do nights at all - tried it, but it just makes me feel miserable. I end up dreading getting a private, even though normally doing actual shows is the part of the job that's easy and fun. Might take a leaf out of your book and introduce a 7-9 shift next week, see how it goes.

LolaLu
03-03-2017, 02:13 AM
I find if you occasionally cam out side of your usual hours then you do OK. You gain new fans and get put on more hotlists ;-) I've done early mornings and they've been great, also done late night and daytimes. It's busy all the time. I suggest doing free preview. I know it's a drag but sometimes you gotta step things up. Maybe try half hr in every hour

Camming earlier than usual worked for me on Wednesday and I was intending to start really early today but I'm feeling rough, typical! On Wednesday I earned nothing after 10am, it was like a coach pulled up and took them all away at that time, so I'm glad I got on early otherwise I would have lost money with paying for positioning. I'm at that point now of wondering if this the usual winter slowness or if I need to change my profile pics and pricing again, just to shake things up a bit. I like my current pics though and there's that hassle of ensuring I don't pic ones that are already somewhere else!

I'm just on AW for camming, at the moment anyway as I keep thinking about expanding. How much are you charging? If you charge low, you get the more impatient guys and the ones who think you're just a performing seal.
Group shows are my own show, so I say hello etc and then tell them what I'm going to do, which is basically strip according to the outfit I'm wearing (the personna that gives me) and then play with my toys. In private I ask them if there is something specific they would like. I also only cam 2 cam or let them call me in private. The annoying thing is when I am doing a group show and they then want something else, how I feel at the time or whether i have others in group will depend on whether I, for example, just stay in my lingerie, or tell them they have to go into private. Role plays have to be in private. They will assume that you know what they want, don't let that make you feel bad in any way, you're not a mind reader and guys do want different things, they just think all guys will want what they want.

Hun, If you click on the 'reply with quote' button on the response you want to respond to it will help us know who/what you are replying to ;-) x
I started on AW, I dont think it si good to have just 1 site. I am also on Babestation cams which is very similar to AW - no free though. I love it there.
Katy is right, the group should be your own show. Personally I do a tease, then s-l-o-w strip, oral on toys, then play. If they want different, like Katy, I decide based on who is in group and how accommodating I'm feeling. If its something hat will demand my attention to 1 person or outfit requests they take me private. Simples
As for times, I would suggest doing a week or 2 of one time slot then a couple of days of another. See how that goes, doing 1 day here and 1 day there will not gain you regulars, which is what you need by the sound of it.

personally I charge 3.99 for pvt. I wouldn't start anyone on less than £2.99 for a pvt show. Grp rate is good. You will get less shows than at lower but they tend to be better quality shows. I have noticed my group shows last longer and have more in them at a higher rate. It's a perception of quality
Dont fret, it will get a bit busier before the lull of Summer but you will work it out. When you figure what your hustle is you will start to earn better. I dont get naked until its requested and certainly not before 5mins. The girls dont come out until 90secs at least. When I first started it was all off immediately. You will find your own way, it just takes patience and willing. You're doing good by trying new stuff rather than giving up.
I would say get to grips with AW before split camming.

^^ absolutely (except it doesn't always mean less shows). Don't be cheap because you've seen other girls doing it - they are either in EE studios or they don't know any better. Remember this, the internet is full of FREE porn and sites where men can watch everything under the sun fir a few tokens. if they were looking for free or cheap porn they wouldn't be on a private based webcam site. You TRAIN them what to expect when they go there, so make sure you're training them to pay for your luxury service.

Have to say these posts are so helpful. I was in utter melt down last month, stopped freeview put my group at £2.49 and pvt 3.49 - am attracting better customers for sure. I leave my cam on as available for longer times but just get on with other things round my home, or watch movies and read until cam bells me, rather than be on freeview and shows constantly.. this way I'm not sat Infront of my cam getting fed up or just irritated. I'm performing better and it feels less of chore. It really is true about not under pricing yourself hoping that will attract more customers, if I've had a quiet few hours i have dropped my price and have noticed it makes no difference. I think it's down to making sure your photos/profile grammar and niche is the best tools for getting it right for you. I find when you offer all services for shows even ones your aren't comfortable with you end up hating the work regardless of the money and men in general.
I really have taken great value at what's been advised here, sexysusie saying that men are on AW to spend (mostly) is something I always remember when someone comes into my room. New mantra!
Best tip for attracting clients too, is going to the loo - the cam ALWAYS buzzes then! :)

I charge 1.75/3.50...don't worry about the girls charging .90, some will be in groups and not in control of how much they charge. Go with what works best for you, I was 2.75 for PVT but doing better now at 3.50. I don't cam every day or even all day but I might join another site. Doing split cam is when you are working on two sites at once.
