Soooo true!!! lol

I also feel a lot less burned out taking free off. I will put it on for a bit but then turn off as Katy does. Now you see me....lol I don't do other stuff around the house but I do a lot of reading up on something Im working on alongside this so it doesnt feel like a chore.

I'm embarrassed to say I priced myself by looking at what others were charging, then I decided to put it up to 1.99/2.99 and had guys commenting on me being "pricey". I didn't care and kept my price as that but after reading what some of you have written, I'm upping it.

I looked on a conversion calculators since 1 credit is 1 pound and when it's put on my Payoneer it's in American funds but when I take the money out, it's in Canadian ( it gets confusing to me..lol) anyway I'm putting myself up to 2.50/3.50 because that works out to the same price I charge on another site.

If guys don't want to pay it or I find that I'm not getting much business then I'll just have it as a side site that I split cam with. I can't believe how low I was charging. I guess I thought because we get a higher percentage, I'd still make good money. What was I thinking? Lol

When I first started camming I charged 1.50 group and 1.99 private! I was so busy, thinking I was the bees knees, then it soon died down as didn't realise it was just cause I was new (and a low price) - luckily I found regulars in that time who in my experience don't even question my prices (and the fact I almost doubled them) - but I do wish I could have the first couple of months back and prove myself my current rate. I'm still learning now from errors but I have to keep my price high for my sanity! Xx

When you lower your prices you tend to get these men who come in and just bark orders at you. Those who are respectful will respect a decent price per minute. For your own sanity, ensure your prices are higher - otherwise you'll spend half your time just dealing with utter idiots.

^ Also, do the math - 45 mins at £1.99 (you're unlikely to get a full 60 mins in paid every single hour no matter what your prices are) is £89.55. Sounds a lot yes, but you will be knackered, having probably catered to multiple guys with multiple requests in that time, and you'll have worked the full 45 mins non stop. You only need 22 minutes in paid at £4 to make the same amount of money, but you have worked far less hard. Also, you could spend that extra time doing shows on other sites (also at high prices) and be earning double or even triple. In my own experience (although i've never been super low priced), when i was around the £2.70 mark for private shows i had a lot of sexual shows and most asked for toys. Now that I charge £3.99 most of my shows are fetish, dirty talk, JOI, or even just chatting. Sometimes I do not even take off a single item of clothing and I very rarely am asked to use toys.

Look into marketing sectors and buyer psychology, figure out who your target market is and aim your services at them. Don't focus on prices (as i said before guys on aw are not choosing based on price), focus on your ideal buyer - how can you get your profile in front of them, make them want to buy from you, spend more when with you than they originally intended, and then keep them coming back again? You don't need quantity, you need QUALITY. Just one guy can blow enough money on you to pay your bills for a MONTH if you play him right. I don't recommend relying on just one guy as they do have a shelf life obviously, but this is the type of relationship you want to find and nurture with multiple customers. If you do that you will always make money, no matter what others around you are doing. Rolex make ridiculously expensive watches, but for over 100 years they have customers buying from them over and over again, while others around them clamour to beat each others prices for a few years and then are never heard of again. Be Rolex x

There's a reg I've had for 4 years now and he goes to whatever site I'm on at the time. He just went pvt with me on AW for 3.50 and in 28 minutes I made 98.64. It would have taken me forever at a low price to make that (ok, maybe not forever but definitely longer) I'm keeping my prices where they are.

I was only thinking yesterday how I rarely take my bottoms off any more let alone play with toys. I do a lot of sucking of a toy but that's usually it. I tease a lot more and do role play. Fetish based clients. In the early days I was constantly sore. Not any more.

defo thats good advise i think its defo gettig use to it all theres such a wide range of people that come in i think sometimes i get out off by the rude ones but then i get nice once that comply and it all goes to plan and to the timing i might out private back up maybe i think its because i was comparing it to what other girls had on theirs but i have put a special offer on private show so they can just use that x

Talk to me. I think it all depends on you SM is a huge site but it take a lot of hard work to get good placement and at the moment is suffering loads of glitches. Best thing is to try a few and see what works for you.

iv noticed that by looking at the other girls it looks like they work in like studios and stuff :O im going to keep looking around thanks xx

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. Its good to know with other girls too because when they lock off straight away when i said hi.. i then start thinking well what else do they expect in the first min spesh when its the first person in your group and your not in the middle of a show you have to work up from it somewhere thats what gets me the most but i guess every man has a certain type so they browse by coming in and out of rooms i just have to learn that its not me doing something wrong and not take it personally lol xx


I would say get to grips with AW before split camming.

defo i think i will stick to A/W for not and cheers haha i think some nights i think christ sake but then i get a long caller and it perks me up again i think its just trying to get use to it all i think your right i might put it up to 2.99 pvt i had it at that before i have a special offer on pvt so they can always use that

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!

haha thats so true another thing i have noticed some girls smoke on freeview , but once i was with a reg and i was on the cam for ages and i really needed to smoke.. he smoked but when i started smoking he wasnt very impressed and he was almost disappointing that i smoked .. so i never do that anymore unless its a fetish im defo putting pvt higher now i got trapped into that i put my price down and it really didnt make a difference!i tried freeview a few times i try and do it some time on it and then off it .. i havent found it successful for me but other girls really get their clients through it guess its just a hit and miss xx

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.

ahh ok what so with two different lap tops you mean because they would both be able to connect to just cam it at the same time right? i guess your likely to get more clients but the worry would be keep missing calls from one sight if your on another but i guess you have to take that gamble.. thats good you do well on there do you get more private then group then ?AND ohhhh right so they work for someone else that kind of explains it i see some at 90p and i think christ they must be making nothing :( x

I don't split cam but girls use one laptop and one cam, and they use software to allow the video to show on more than one site. You can't have two cams connecting with justcamit. How many group or private shows I get varies.

Hi Ladies
A bit of a random one but something I am curious about. You know you get the groups on adult work. Can anyone set up a group on there and start recruiting girls to work for them and then charge a % of fees in return for their offerings. I just see a lot of groups on there and one I looked at has 185 girl and with aw and their fees they take 50% so the owner of the group gets 10% so I just wondered if long term setting up a group and recruiting girls to work for me as a studio / group type set up is a viable option. Obviously recruiting people who don't even cam currently x

We normally advise girls not to enter groups unless they are one of few reputable ones. They tend to be a way to fleece girls while offering nothing in return and having full control of their profiles. What extras were you thinking of offering?

Don't be a pimp! Groups (other than the original daily pay and kdb's) are the devil and exist purely to skim money off naive models.

In the last week all I've had is guys that come in for 15 seconds and leave. They don't respond when I say hello and even if I type "can you hear me" I get nothing. I thought maybe something was wrong with JCI but a reg of mine came in on Saturday and had no problems.

Why not go through your skype and hit up all the guys you have had a show via AW with? Tell them you're available for independent webcam shows and looking forward to playing with them soon, take payment through one of the indie sites. Also get your aw link out on forums x

I'm confused? You said all the guys you have had shows with via aw and to get them to pay you through an indie site. I was under the impression that was against AW rules as its taking business off the site no? I thought even if the original show was through aw and they paid on aw that even when their on your skype that they would have to keep booking you through aw or it would be against the terms. Can you clarify? Thanks

It just says that you mustn't use the Adultwork site to tout for business off the site, not that you mustn't contact AW members somewhere else (these guys may not even be on AW anymore).

"You may not use this website to solicit business from any member for your own agency, co-operative or any other business activity whether advertised as being offered or not. This includes inviting members to join you etc.. If off topic emails are reported, they will be investigated and will most likely result in the deletion of the offending member's details. Off topic, unsolicited emails will not be tolerated."

It looks dead...very few in group shows! In the meantime there are 5 pages of girls online!

I thought that when I looked Katy. My profile over the last few days has had very few views too. Even though I've been online. People are obviously busy having a life! How dare they?! ;-)

When you say there are 5 pages of performers, what do you look at to see that info? If I look on the mobile app it's 21 pages. On the main site it just rolls down, all the same page.
