I've taken the plunge and raised my rate again. I haven't actually done a full shift at the new rates but I missed 3 different guys last night while on the loo (typical) at 3.99 group/4.99 private and I was quite surprised.
I'm wondering if I might be getting slightly greedy now I don't 100% rely on camming income but they appear to be happy to pay it. What do you girlies think? I also raised my rates on SM by $2 and plan to be $14.99 a min for exclusive on there soon.
Am I greedy? I believe that if they are willing to pay it that is their prerogative as I don't force them to do shows with me!
P.S. I do absolutely no advertising and I am far from a pornstar just a plain jane type of girl next door so I am shocked that they pay such a high rate to be honest :O
Nooo do eeet :D I put nine up to 4.50/4.99 when I've made goal or if I'm getting lots of simultaneous shows while splitting sites, and there's always some that will pay. The times I've been asked for a 'Raise the rates' game has always been when I'm at that much higher rate too, some LOVE being fleeced. Report back!!
Hi again,
Ok, I think my profile is almost complete although I don't do escorting & it kind of looks like my profile says I do.
Do hash tags help at all as far as guys searching for kws?
I don't use Yahoo or MSN & it wants an e-mail address. I put in a fake e-mail address in there. What will happen b/c I did that?
So I can't split cam b/c we have to use Just Cam It?
It says, "We must stress that the installable version gives far better video quality and uses/requires less bandwidth." They mean Just Cam It, correct?
I don't see where being able to set up pricing, etc. for IMing is located in the profile wizard.
Thanks
Hashtags aren't searchable but keywords are.
You don't need MSN or yahoo emails just the one you use for Skype.
Yes you can splitcam you just need a splitter like verysoft, then select verysoft as the cam in justcamit. They distinguish between the installable version (encoder) and the browser version justcamit lite because the encoder has more features and can handle mobile and tablet viewers (provided your upload speed is high enough).
Set IM prices at my details > edit details > edit profile > webcam > edit DirectCam. You change the prices and tick the box for "i wish to provide typed text chat only". Remember to untick and change your prices again when you want to switch back to direct cam x

I hear what you're saying Susie & if I was splitting a few sites at once then I'd do my prices differently.
Tonight just doing phone & IM at my usual rates I've made more than a lot of people might earn in a few days. I mean its not always that good but I still make decent money.
If its not broke don't fix it I say. I get a lot of long chats on IM & its easy money really & the same with phone.
So yes I'm not about cut off my nose to spite my face when I'm happy with where things are at right now.
I charge what I feel is a fair and reasonable fee for my service and time.
When I was an Escort I charged well for my time and I got slated over my fee's and I'm coming from that back ground and I also took that into account when I choose my IM/Phone/cam fee's & I don't feel that for what I do now that I should be making more than the average escort.
Even at 2.95 per minute that's pretty close to what some Escorts make for providing a real time service.
I do IM and phone pretty much every night and I cam once a blue moon now anyway and the ones who charge over 1 credit a min are not as consistently busy as those who charge 1 and under.
I'm certainly to increase that pvt cam rate when I next go on I've been thinking of doing that for a while now but eventually you get to a point and just can;t go much higher. There's performers that have been charging the same rates for years. Once you get to 4 credits its hard to go above that anyway. That's why I think its better to just do a small raise every year so the customer doesn't notice it the same.
Thx Susie ;) I think I used this avi pic on AW before but I've used it elsewhere now to have it as a main AW pic again.

Yes you charge it girl if you can get it :)
Let us know how you get on with your new rates & how many guys you get per hour. I also struggle staying on cam for more than 3 hours , I get headache of my lights.

You will get a special system message telling you who's tipped. I think it makes a funny noise too. You always know when you've been tipped though.

05-06-2017, 12:51 AM
Guys will fake sending tips but it's obvious because it will start with their name, as with any post they make, and you will see the tip appear in your list of earnings in the top right section on justcamit.

Oh you can't IM while doing DC? Ok, thanks
I'll have to get my tech guy to help me with the verysoft.
As for the Yahoo, & MSN, it wouldn't let me go to the next window without putting something in there :( so that's why I asked.
Thanks a ton.

I'm on DirectIM today, but the JCI server keeps disconnecting on me. My broadband appears to be fine, so not sure what the issue is. Grr.

Aw no..sorry to hear JCI has been problematic for some of you, as well.
It froze my whole computer and kicked me off earlier. Now I am just getting a black screen on JCI, has anyone else had this today? At first I thought it was the Verysoft splitter (does it have glitches?) but i've experimented, and JCI isn't even picking up my inbuilt cam. Argh I loathe this! I'm using the Lite version atm but I am unable to split so could be losing money. Meep. :(

Just in case anyone has seen my post in the tip vibe thread I received a reply from AW, from a real person not just a canned response, I was quite shocked. Here is their response regarding sending customers links to control the Nora toy in privates:
Hello
We'll say yes to this as we are going to integrate with Lovesense in the very near future.
The only thing you need to be aware of, which we are sure you are, is that any attempt to redirect customers to another cam site or to pay for anything outside the Site's "credits" system will result in account deactivation.

This is great @Teddybear I going to buy myself one of these toys now.
Its a shame they've not been more specific in how exactly they plan to integrate these toys. I really hope its not something that will work in free chat as in my view what set AW apart from most sites are the strict no -nudity in Free chat & I think that's a very good thing.
I've never used these toys before so I don't know all that much about them but I'm thinking how are they going to integrate them without people being able to use them in Free Chat?
I'd hate for AW to turn into like a token site.
Other than that yes great!
winnipeg
05-08-2017, 12:45 PM
hmm how will this work? since they have to TIP to get the toy to vibrate? will it be they pay per minute as usual and then tip ontop to get the toy to vibrate? not sure how else they can implement this? unless this will be on a different platform? can it be integrated with JCI? which is already glitchy as!
Teddy_Bear
05-08-2017, 01:30 PM
While both of the tip vibes do react to tips the Lush vibe is more of a free chat/token site income generator, whereas the Nora is for privates and can be used by generating unique links per customer so they can control the speed/direction of your vibrator - very popular I found my first day testing it out yesterday. I charge a set amount to send them the link once they are paying and away they go.
Not sure how AW is planning to integrate Lovense into their site but it's a good sign they are moving with the times as long as it's not for free chat and only for private. I never do free on AW I get enough time wasters on my other sites so I would hate for it to go the token site route too.
I would suggest reading Hyori's thread regarding these toys it's chock full of knowledge on these tip vibes.

There's also a male version that would be good for us to control too. I can see how they would be good fun these toys.
Be able to also use them on Direct IM hopefully :)

Are we required to have 3 pictures for profile pictures? I want to delete picture #1 and keep the other two. I don't want to get in trouble as last time I was suspended for two weeks because I used profile pictures that can be found on other sites.

You don't have to have 3. Some girls don't use one at all, but that's mostly by those who do instant message.
Marina Starr
05-09-2017, 04:33 AM
Can I delete picture #1 and upload a new one? I read somewhere that account can be terminated if profile pictures are changed but I could misread?
Also, if I deleted pictures #1, will #2 show up when I do direct cam?

Yes you can delete them and the remaining ones will show in directcam, I can't remember if 2 automatically take 1's place.
The only issue with deleting and re-uploading is with movies (and probably private gallery pics) because when you add a new one it puts you on the home page and in the new upload pages, so it's extra advertising. When I wanted to re-sort my movies, I emailed them first to let them know what I was doing.
Kristen_Krystal
05-09-2017, 10:46 AM
I change my main 3 profile pictures quite regular. Every now and again though admin will just delete the odd one and I'll get a message to say it's not been accepted & the reasons given never seem to make any sense to me but I think just cause he/she doesn't personally like it :)
You're not supposed delete pvt pics and then re-upload them like Katy said. I uploaded a set last night and straight away went and deleted them all by accident and so I had upload them all again and that was Ok because it's happened all in the same half an hour.
I'm going to see if I can find this interactive toy now and put in my wishlist.
Quite exited about this toy & I might even put group back on & use it there :)

05-10-2017, 06:39 PM
Winni There is no such thing as cheeky, it's your room so work it however you like. I personally don't ask for tips because I like c2c (prefer it in fact) but there's nothing stopping you from doing so.
@Marina email them through the help centre. You can do this by opening any help article (search credit transfer to see if there is any info already covering your issue), then closing it. Before the window closes it will offer you a feedback form and that's where you write a message to them. Click send anyway if it comes up with a red message at the bottom.

So... day 5 of raising my rates on AW to 4.99 group/5.99 private and the verdict so far is... I'm loving it! It hasn't made a blind bit of difference I'm no more busy or quiet than my old rates and I am making more per min when I do get paid chats. I also had one of those guys who likes to play the 'raise-the-rate' game Susie mentioned and he had no limit lol, that was fun.
I'm keeping the new rates. Being greedy be damned and they will pay what I charge if they want to play with me bad enough. I want the guys with money and those rates are like honey to them bees bb :P

LOVE this! I enjoy private sessions far more so was thinking of raising my group price although even at 1.99 group I get several people in at once so it works well. I may try it for June ;-)

Im so confused about the cam listing at the moment.
Yesterday was paying 1.50 to 2 credits for listing and was still a fair few rows down, that's understandable, but today I've seen myself right at the top and haven't put any money in.
Can anyone help me with the positioning logic. On a laptop you get at the very top three rows then a line, then all freeview and then another line with non free view, does this mean unless you have freeview you will always be at the bottom? So confusing 🙈

No thank goodness. You only show higher up if you are in a group show, have paid for hourly positioning, have recently updated your profile/added new content - in that order.

There are different ways of seeing who is online. Sounds like you're going through the top left section on the home page. https://www.adultwork.com/TV/Categories.asp
I think most people go in through the centre, where free preview and paid only are mixed. http://www.adultwork.com/HomeWC.asp?Switch=1

Sometimes AW is glitchy with the pics like that. At one point, I realized that I had used my profile pic on a bunch of other sites, so I needed to change it. I had to remove all three profile pics in order to get anything to "take," and even then, it took several days of attempts to get anything to remove, and then several more days to get a new pic to "stick." Even after removing the old pics and adding the new one, it kept reverting back to the old pic. Then one day it all worked for no obvious reason. Whenever you log on, try to remove the pics you don't want and add the pics you do want, and then don't stress about it too much. Sooner or later it will sort itself out, and I'm sure all your pics are great anyway, bb!

^^ Np!
One other thing that *might* make it go more smoothly is to pretend that the site is a total idiot and can't do more than one pic related action at a time. So the simplest way to handle it (from the site perspective) is remove pic #3, log out, log in, see what happened, repeat with pic #2 and then pic #1. When you've got them taken off, then add pic #1, log off, log on, see what happened, repeat with #2 and #3.
The reason to do it in that order is that if you try to remove pic #1 first, then AW has to do two things: remove pic #1 AND bump pic #2 forward into the #1 spot. That may be too much for it's poor computer brain to handle. That's mostly speculation, but I do remember having better luck doing one thing at a time rather than trying to swap out all 3 pics at once.
