Going to read more of recent stuff in this thread when I get off my cam shift.. But as an American I have been making like $0 the last few days on AW (I splitcam).. and do free chat. How is traffic for the rest of u?
Forgot to add I don't bid.. It seems like I have to bid now with how my traffic lvl is zero all of a sudden..
Doing free should bring you some interest. Try raising your rates to £3+ for pvt if not already, many men feel they won't get a quality show if you are cheap. Ensure you and your space are clean and attractive. Try offering sound if you don't, or the opposite of you do (sometimes changing things up helps), try different times of day. If your upload speed is low you may not be able to serve mobile & tablet viewers which can cut down your traffic. Could be any number if things. Read through this whole thread for more tips x

Got sound, good webcam, 10 mbps upload, cam space is clean. Might be that my rates are between 2-3 and not 3+?
It could be the times I am on as they are geared for my American audiences/a few Aussies.
Thanks sweetie

How long have you been camming on AW? They do tend to like fresh meat and shows can drop when they no longer regard us as new. I always pay for positioning and being 3+ does help.

I might start paying for positioning.. And see how it goes lol. New or not didn't seem to have much of an effect for me but last 2 give or take have literally made almost nothing on AW.. I didn't mind it so much b/c splitcamming but I don't rly wanna be losing out on money. Far as I understand I am only taxed on money I am paid out and not the money I also use to bid? edit: found where to bid to feature profile for certain days. Assuming this is in UK time..
oops realized i can't geoblock states haha. im on enough sites i forget these little details. ok why can't i see myself at all under available now webcams?
Guess I ought to fix my prices lol
Thanks

I think is generally slower for most this month. I've had free chat on in IM right now for about an hour & not had a single soul in !!!
Adultwork is all about building up & keeping your regulars keen for as long as you can. If you've got some good regs then I personally wouldn't risk losing them by raising your rates too much.
Men are generally far more oversensitive then most women give them credit for & they can take your rate rise the wrong way & think you're raising it because you want to get rid of them.
Maybe work on making the shows you are getting last longer.
I used to escort & for me that was all about doing as little as possible - for as much as possible - as quickly as possible. I'm still in this mode on cam really.
Too many short shows & I need to work on making them last longer. I've decided I'm going to do this by start wearing proper clothes over my lingerie. Clothes that take a while to take off.
What do you Ladies wear on cam? Do you wear your just your lingerie or do you wear clothes over it? x

Krystal,
I just wanted to say that you are absolutely right on this! Men are extremely sensitive but they put on this tough, macho persona LOL!

That's daily featuring, the one you want is hourly positioning. It is in UK time.
I do lose old customers when I raise my rates but being 3.50 works better for me than anything lower. It's not that I'm making more on the same number of shows, I have more shows.

I'm curious to know if anyone has "long term regs" e.g. those over a year? if you have someone do a 5 minute show once a week for a year vs someone who had 3 shows throughout the year but spent a ton = they both spent the same amount - which is the reg here? are they both regs?
or do you find most regs eventually cross/or try to blur the barriers of these interactions and end up being non-regs anyway?
janeuk
03-21-2017, 11:52 AM
Winnipeg, I have regs that I've been camming with for years, they tend to get more spaced apart overtime but most have been and remain good spenders. I pretty much rely on my solid dudes who rock up and want to do the same stuff over and over, tho I'm so sporadic with camming that I do myself no favours!!

I change my rates all the time between 2.99/3.99, 3/5, 2.50/4 etc depending on how i feel and how much i want to earn. My regulars buy shows from me whatever price and I always have new customers.
Re clothing I generally wear pretty lingerie and stockings with a babydoll or silky robe over it, sometimes something a bit more domme like a tight pvc dress. I rarely go casual as it just doesn't work for me.
My first few guys that became regulars back in 2011 are still with me now! One or two have gone 'member not active' over the years but they seem to always re-activate and come back. I don't care if they only spend £30 as opposed to £300, if they do it week in week out i will treat them like a king :D

I've got some regs still from when I 1st joined the site. One he visits every time I'm on cam, he's only ever in my room for a few mins & and wants the exact same thing every single time.
When I escorted I had some regs for well over a decade - Men can be very loyal, Look how they are with their football teams.
Its not about what you do, its all about how you make them feel that's important & if you make them feel good & happy then, they will keep coming back to you.

This summer I'm going to be investing in some clothes to wear over my lingerie. Little dresses with loads of little button down the front that take ages to undo :)
I'm sick of guys that come into my cam room and as soon as I slip of my lingerie and get naked they're gone!

I'm not sure if someone's mentioned this before but, for those who have been having problems with customers not being able to enter paid chat from free in Direct Cam, this happened to me once in cam & IM also.
In IM my customer came into my free chat, he was on a mobile device & he couldn't go into paid from Free so what he did was go to my profile page and then was able to go paid with no issue.
If they can't enter your room, tell them to enter from your profile page x

So annoying when this happens. A dedicated regular would likely be happy to go that route. A random guy with his cock in his hand, might just not bother and click on the next person along. I really wish they'd sort this issue properly. It seems to happen with people accessing on their phones. This is why I changed my group and private IM rates to be the same. I have a regular who would come in and stay for over an hour in group with his very specific fantasy. I can get away with doing that for IM, but not for DirectCam.

Does anyone on here use Payoneer/FirstChoicePay? I applied for a Payoneer card back during the PacNet thing when AW couldn't pay us for ages, got the card, but never loaded it or used it. Now Payoneer has become FirstChoicePay, Adultwork says we should be able have a card/account in GBP rather than USD. Has anyone successfully done this? Like I said, I haven't loaded or used the card yet, but when IWantClips launches their IWantPhone site, they pay UK people via Payoneer. Hopefully, that will take off and I'll receive some payments. I just have no idea what to do about my existing card and account as I'd obviously prefer a GBP card. I emailed FirstChoicePay several weeks ago, but they never replied to my support ticket.

From the sound of what's in the Help section, we have to apply for a new account in GBP. It's confusing. I haven't even used my USD account or card yet, so I'd rather FirstChoicePay switch it over to GBP if they can.....but they won't get back to me. I already have 3 funding sources associated with that account, so it would be a pain in the arse to switch everything over to a new account.

I haven't asked for one but I did ask Danep what we do and apparently support do know about it and we just request it. Here is the First Choice thread https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?214471-Firstchoice-Pay

Even though its now in GBP, theres still a charge for withdrawal right?
Classy_Katy
03-24-2017, 06:24 AM
There's still going to be some kind of charge somewhere, I would only use if I didn't want AW to pay the money directly into my bank account.

03-24-2017, 06:27 AM
I only use FirstChoice for Indie payments..I've not experimented with changing the currency as of yet and I've really only recently started using it. If I do use it for AW at any point I'll let you know how it goes. I've found costs with FC to be quite high, which does irritate me quite a bit but it's just one of those things I put up with, at least I'm not waiting on cheques! X
Blue-Velvet
03-24-2017, 06:40 AM
Yes, there's always going to be costs and fees associated with any of them. AW pays me straight into my bank, Niteflirt pays by monthly cheque, Talktome uses Paxum, but since IWantPhone will be using Payoneer/FirstChoicePay, I'll have no option but to use them if I intend on getting paid. If they had Paxum as an option, I'd use them since I don't have to faff around with a card. I think IWantPhone will do a free monthly wire transfer if you earn over $1k, but with a brand new platform, I can't see myself pulling that sort of profit straight away. It's not even due to go live for another 6-8 weeks.

Yes thanks Blue, I'll check it IWantPhone too ;)
I don't have Paxum/FirstChoice so I can't help with that sorry. The don't sound very professional if they don't answer emails.
I wonder why people choose them over Paxum. Any luck IwantPhone might set up with Paxum.

03-25-2017, 01:46 AM
Payoneer have been around a lot longer and most big sites offer them as a payment method. I have an account with paxum but not knowing fir sure if they are cheaper or easier to use it stick to Payoneer global transfer (now firstchoice) x
Kristen_Krystal
03-25-2017, 01:58 AM
Yes, I guess I feel the same about Paxum because they're the only E-Wallet I've ever used. I find them easy enough to use & the always answer emails & just pay me direct into my bank when I request it.
I suppose I'll get used to FirstChoice if I have too. Sounds like Global Transfer works the same as Paxum's EFT service.

Some sites don't offer Global transfer though :( Do AW? I heard the reason other sites don't is because GT doesn't allow adult related transactions? does anyone know the reason why some sites only allow the card option? :/
sexysusie
03-25-2017, 02:59 AM
The site has to agree it with payoneer at the time they partner with them. Some don't yet have the required level of turnover (indiebill for eg couldn't when they first started up). I don't know re AW and payoneer, as a UK girl I use normal banking transfer. But mfc, sm, and mgf all pay me via pgt x
Classy_Katy
03-25-2017, 03:10 AM
For AW it's just the card not global transfer but you can get it in GBP. We have the benefit of AW paying directly into our bank accounts in GBP so we don't need to use global transfer if we have a UK or an EU bank account.

Yes making clips is something I keep thinking about but never get around too. If I make some with other site then I may as well put them on AW also. Its just the time & for me it would be a lot of extra work because I'm not experienced in editing clips.
I'm going to give it a go I think. I've already got some ideas :)

Don't worry. You won't have to do a clip store as well. I was also confused, so messaged them because it was saying my account wouldn't go live until I posted 5 clips. They said:
"You won't have to upload content for iWantClips to operate iWantPhone. This is not a requirement. However once phone is live in 4-6 weeks you will have a dedicated platform to operate IWP. Think of iWantClips as a hub for all site's to include IWC, IWCC, and IWP. You will login into IWC to access all other sites."
Basically, you sign up to IWC https://iwantclips.com/home/model_signup/e4da7e9c3e44bab16d530d18a8efab1a and then when you click on https://iwantclips.com/phone and go to the bottom where it says to sign up to phone, if you click on that, you'll get a "congrats you've reserved 80% commission...etc." message. That's all you need to do until the phone site goes live unless you want to make some extra money with clips too.
One thing I've read about this company is that they don't cover chargebacks unless you sign up to their CB insurance which costs you an extra 5%.

Your Adultwork profile photos have to be exclusive to AW, so you can't use them on any other site. I believe your gallery photos can be on other sites, but your front page profile shots have to be AW only. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
