Some of you Ladies have mentioned splitting AW with Skype sites on the same PC.

I know that we can't connect to AW via a proxy or VPN , so what do you all do about Skype? Do you worry about the custormers being able to see your IP's or do you not thinks its anything to be overly concerned about?

One of the things that I hate about Skype is that it shows my IP & I don't ever use a VPN/Proxy in case I forget to turn it back off & then accidentally log on to AW + to me they look a little complicated to use.

I was just curious really if its just me to paranoid about customers seeing my IP address.

Too many responses to quote but thank you CK, BV and CTC for taking the time to assure me that this idiot is a serial asshole and didn't just single me out. I normally leave feedback right at the end of the period we get to do so but for some reason was bored on cam the other day and thought I would do it for something to do, learnt my lesson big time.

I have no idea what his 'fetish' is because the show was a simple strip/body worship show - maybe he didn't like that I wasn't very leading and take cues from customers about what they want but unfortunately his ability to articulate what he wanted was as bad as his atrocious spelling :P Thank you BV for giving me more of an insight into what an unstable individual he is I certainly won't be accepting his shows in the future.

I'm more mad at the fact that my positive is on his profile than his negative is on mine - of course AW refused to remove my misleading feedback for him, no surprise there. Anyways he did me a favour in the end it's true there is no such thing as bad publicity!

I never really thought about it not being able to be handled by guys with lesser connections hmm. I like blowing them away with quality as the majority of providers aren't in HD with top of the range cams hehe. Yes I split with sm although I just got a seperate lappy for sm so will only split aw with mfc and skype now x

Hey Susie,
When you split with AW and MFC, are you in free chat on aw? And when you get a pvt or group on AW what do you do with MFC peoples?x

sexysusie
04-05-2017, 03:41 PM
No if I'm doing sm as well there's no way I can cope with free on AW. Mfc is pretty easy as you just close your room (not recommended though if you want to build up a big and regular following), although I do usually try to get guys on all the sites into a show at the same time of possible x

Do you guys think it's worth getting an American passport to work on AW? I need one anyways, but just not anytime soon. I know I'm not the only one in this predicament and I wanted to know what everyone thought in terms of it being worth getting a passport pretty much to work on AW.

04-05-2017, 05:31 PM
No one can really tell you that, you have to try it and find out. It is required to have a oassport for aw though so you'll have to bite the bullet if you want to work there. The cost can be made back within a few hours work so it's not going to break the bank.

Hey,

I know AW is experiencing some problems atm but ive had it a few days where customer will tell me that my room is busy and to try again later, where in fact it wasnt busy.

Just wondered if any of you experienced this and what you did to overcome this problem?

p.s. the message they received was something like 'unable to connect to host' or 'member is busy'.

Yes!! I have had this a few times on there, one of my regulars messaged me to tell me otherwise I would never have known (he said it said something like 'the models room is busy'). And said he has been trying for a few weeks!!

This coupled with the fact that my earnings seem to have gone down quite a bit is making me wonder just how many more people are getting the same message!

I pay for hourly featuring, have a great upload speed, all my settings are as they were before mid January (when it started to slow down for me), my computer is only 6 months old and I'm hard wired so really not sure what's causing it, but it's interesting to hear that I'm not the only one!

sexy_kitten01
04-07-2017, 12:33 AM
You need to make sure the time hasnt lapsed otherwise the option to 'accept' is removed and replaced with 'reject' - if i understand correctly.

I hate it when customers pre-book like 2mins before show stated, doesnt give enough time to check and accept lol.

Try messaging him asking to rebook like 5-10mins before hand to give you time to check info and accept.

Edit: Also make sure you have 'disable pre-booked webcam' unchecked in your edit profile > webcam settings

No, never send them your skype details, they will see them when they confirm the booking...some try to get away with not confirming.

Click on "view details" on the page that lists the webcam bookings. http://www.adultwork.com/WebcamBookings.asp

The first thing to check is that the amount is correct.

You will see their skype name so you can add them but sometimes this isn't their name and you have to email them. Skype doesn't allow me to add contacts so I have to click on their name to start the call or email them.

englishgal - same here, internet connection, laptop, cam everything top notch and only AW i experience the problem. I dont multi-cam as i have another laptop. Around mid Feb i started to experience problems when customers try to connect to my directcam.

Also, another problem i seem to have is that i am always checking for the 'disable pre-booked webcam' setting in 'edit profile' to make sure its not ticked. Some reason it decides to tick itself randomly. Very frustrating when your sitting there waiting for some bookings lol. Ive emailed AW support and waiting to hear back.

I've had this same problem for years. I think it's just an odd and annoying glitch in the system.

On the subject of webcam bookings, make sure the guy has written the correct YEAR too. I had a guy scam me once by writing the wrong year.

Could it be that you've accidentally blocked them? I'm sure this is the message they see when they're in your blocked lists.

How's everyone's week going? It's my first week back from a break and it's been my worst since camming. I've had a peak and seems like many people (even aw veterans) have dropped their prices significantly. I've been on 5 hours today and had only 5 people in my room. Paid for listing too. I hate the idea of dropping my rate, but am considering it. When you see girls you are always online with go down to 1.29 for group it's a worry!

I'm having an Ok week so far (My week starts Tuesdays).

Personally I would never drop my rates. The only time I will consider reducing them is for a regular that want a long session & that session would have to be like at least a couple of hours.

If you're going to change your rates then you may as well increase them & that will send your guys a message not to leave it too long to come and visit you as you might just get more expensive :)

Mind you saying that I've been logged on to IM & phone for a few hours this afternoon & not had one call yet! Hopefully it will be busy later on tonight. 1.29 is very low for cam - maybe they stay fully clothed at that rate & try & tempt them into pvt?

There also seems a lot more groups with low rates on AW at the moment I've noticed.

There's no great plan behind it, they just get scared and the first instinct is to drop their prices. They don't have the foresight to see that's cutting off their nose to spite their face. Don't be that person. Be smart and strategic - if you're not making what you want (it should always be what you WANT, not just what you can get) then how can you change things? Market yourself, get your profile in front of as many people as you can, stop thinking of AW like a store that people will just walk into, you have to go out and get in people's faces that haven't even heard of AW! Also AW isn't everything.. branch out, try new sites, split cam. With at least 3 sites and a good effort at promoting yourself I promise you won't ever be in here complaining it's slow again! Forget the ones charging low rates, they are LAZY and stupid.

AW deleted my profile awhile back because all I had was a driver's license (after being on there for years), and I haven't gone to get a $110 passport since I never travel any more. Lately SM is so dead for me I am missing the $ I used to pull from AW.

I discovered there's a card passport instead of a book I can get that's only $30 and only valid for travel from US to Canada / Bahamas.

Does anyone know if Adultwork will accept the card one?

Adultwork camming is beyond ridiculous, it keeps kicking them out at exactly 2 secs which leads me to believe it's not that I've suddenly become grotesque but that there is a serious glitch that no end of logging out and back in is going to fix.

However Adultwork phone is absolutely hopping! I made a ton this morning thank you my kinky little fuckers.

To those that sell pictures/videos - do you watermark everything? or you find buyers don't like it because they paid for it and theres a watermark on it potentially obstructing parts of the video or photo?

Classy_Katy
04-10-2017, 05:39 AM
Watermark everything. I own the copyright even if I sell them the clip and it is for their personal viewing only. I put the watermark to the side so that it doesn't obstruct the clip or photo. If they asked for it without a watermark, I would suspect that they were going to re-distribute it.

I've done whole 'it's quiet drop the rates' thing. Guess what? It makes no difference. Not one iota. Krystal is right, if anything raise them more. Then at least you'll be recouping some of the ££ you've lost while it's been quiet. Not only that but you may even attract a different kind of custie and decide you prefer that type....if someone wants you, they will pay for you! It's that simple. If it's slow I would def suggest switching free chat on....even if it's for half hour in every hour.

Since I said that above I must've jinxed myself cause this last few days on AW has been soooo slow. Blue Velvets right it is the easter holidays & a lot on holidays.

I've been sorting out my garden this week & making good use of the quite time.

Later this week I'm going to be increasing my rates on AW & I'm thinking of joining another site to split cam with. I only offer pvt cam on AW so I don't know how I'm going to manage split cam though.

Sods law when one guy wants a pvt on one site then you can trust someone on the next site will want a pvt too.

Its like the other day, I was logged on to phone chat for a couple of hours & it was dead - no calls at all dead, so I decided to unpack my new lawn mower & put it together & then I got about 3 call one after the other - Its like they sense it when you want to do something else.

Good shout on that, Susie. I did that with group on AW and private (SM equivalent to group) yesterday.
The only thing I'd say is be REALLY careful about keeping the windows side by side (something made even harder by that appalling encoder on SM) as I got chucked back into free and realised I was there just in the nick of time haha! It didn't look great to the other guy still in group. I am fairly new at that though, so am sure the other have better advice about managing group shows on separate sites.

When you upload clips to AW, do you use your AW name exactly, or just your general known cam name? What software do you think works best? I've been saying I'll do them forever but now I actually will with my new cam and laptop. X

What do you mean "do you use your AW name exactly"? Do you mean as a watermark? I do use my exact cam name.

I record with my c920 webcam using the Logitech software, then I edit it in windows live movie maker and you want the "email" size for AW as it is priced by file size. That's around 320x240 in size. Use WMV as MP4s get corrupted. I hate Adobe Premier Elements and I don't see any difference in quality.

I meant if there's a slight variation in your name, like an underscore or something between your AW name, and say the name you use on Twitter.

Thank you for that Katy, I think that will save me a lot of time down the line (and possibly save my computer some angry keyboard bashing) when it comes to uploading clips. X

I have them both open. If one comes into private I log off the other. I feel that since they are paying for private thats what they should receive. If they come into group and the group chat rings on the other site I take that too and work both rooms together. They want to pay cheaper rates for group then they have to deal with that or leave.

The way I see it is, even if I have to log off of one account while I take a pvt on the 2nd site, it's money I wouldn't have otherwise had. Im just available in more places at once and therefore increasing my potential.

ETA: A lot of my pvts on AW are Roleplays/Fetish and on my other site they tend to be long tease shows so to do those side by side would be seriously difficult and I don't feel I would give my best performance

I've always found that regardless of the time of year, AW has always been peaks and troughs for me. There never seems to be any rhyme or reason between when I'll be busy, unless of course I have a mouth full of food, I'm sitting on the toilet, or in the middle of watching something unusually interesting...then I'm guaranteed to be slammed.

Me too! I always close my other sites when I get a private, as I feel they deserve my full attention. Mind you today I had the rather unfortunate situation of a guy who'd left group, to go private, while he was topping up I got a group on another site - and of course he sends his private request while I was in group with a lovely guy on another site. I had to reject it, but thankfully it finished soon after and he requested private again! :hyper: X
