Do any of you ladies have an introductory movie on your profile?
If so do you think it helps?

It's extra exposure as guys can search for girls who have one. It's worth doing on the off chance of extra guys finding you.

Random question that popped into my head.
So, Im pregnant, 26ish weeks, and normally cam in the ''Tasty Twenties'' and pay for positioning on the nights I cam, However im wondering if I should swap over to 'Pregnant' or not? If I pay for a position, does it only effect the category im in? Or will it put me higher up overall without a filter search?
Unsure about what to cam under right now.

Try pregnant and see how it goes. Guys can look specifically for what they want there and there is much less competition x

Had a regular who normally does skype shows but he is at work today so was on his phone...twice he got disconnected in under a minute but then was able to stay online for the rest of the show. He said the page refreshes and that loses the connection.

Getting quite frustrated with Collin's dailypay. I've been on hiatus a while and am trying to make sure I won't be missing out on payments if I just get going again.
I've posted on the forums, opened a ticket and sent 3 emails since Friday, and still haven't heard anything.
Anyone else have any bright ideas?

I had someone in last night. They couldn't connect for the life of them. He got cut off several times then came back in and said he had switched from his ipad to his laptop. Even though I'm optimised for ipad! Once on the laptop he didn't get cut off once.

Just had a super weird experience: dude comes into private, says nothing... i say ok Im happy to ignore you and do so for a while: I swear name in in the user name section and digits clicking over. I got bored and logged out, no credit, no record of him coming into chat even tho jci window still shows him entring the room... wtf?? Wondering what this is as it also meant others couldnt access my room for that time.

I honestly have no idea of what to say to them - it doesn't even show him as a peeper in my credit history. I took a pic of my screen, which shows him enter pvt, but now I just feel crazy... like WTF? I also never had this experience.

05-24-2017, 09:22 AM
Yep I've had that a few times. If they don't respond to me after a few mins I warn I'm going to log out then I close JCI and re open. I think it's to do with the bandwidth falling right down but somehow the system gets 'stuck'. So they're not actually in your room it's just a glitch. Closing JCI and re opening should sort it x

Can they actually see you if this happens? as surely if he came in he wouldnt be staring at a blank screen?
LolaLu
05-24-2017, 01:14 PM
I've also had this. Usually when the cam is ringing with different punters in quick succession...I'm usually on the loo or letting the dogs out! Like susie said it's as if JCI gets confused and gets stuck. Just restart it. I doubt they are connected during this time as you don't get their credits but I expect they are kicked out or have a spinning loading thing.

I've never had that glitch...I expect that it happens in the evening when the site is busier, since I'm only on during the day.

SM has been annoying me lately and I keep tossing around the idea of trying AW as my main site but I'm in Canada and I've always read on here that North American ladies don't do well. I'm curious if it is true or just a myth that UK guys like sticking with women from their area.
AW has never been very lucrative for me but in all honesty, I've never really put in an effort. It was just a site to go log in to once in awhile to see how it would go.

I think you really can't know unless you try it. Because AW is an escort directory, you do get some guys wanting to see UK girls but they are ones wanting to book an escort and want to see them on cam first or just like the idea of seeing an escort. I am being asked less these days if I escort though. What they do like on there is new girls.

My profile shows as being started in 2011 so I definitely can't work a "new" angle. Wish I could...lol....I've noticed that my profile has only had 35,000 views and I see UK ladies with over 100,000 and they haven't been on as long as me. I suppose they could be working it full time though or paying for featuring.

They don't read your profile, they will go by how many feedbacks you have and whether they have seen you before.

I'm in the US and almost never bid, adult work is only a side money site for me. I could always bid but I splitcam a bunch of sites so to me it seems rather pointless. If it was my only site I would always bid. I have noticed that a lot of other American camgirls don't seem to have a lot of feedback for the length of their account, but I wonder if it is because they don't bid like me or if it's because they prefer local.
I know I make a lot of sales on American sites for "being in a certain crowded east coast state" that I really don't live in. I really do believe it is a factor regardless what everyone else says.
Since your account is old and you are over the pond I recommend always always bidding if you are gonna try AW alone without any other sites.
edit: I might also add I am not fond of this site's incredibly slow payments and the fact I have to pay to get my own money from Paxum. I don't know if ACH is back up and running with them, but at one point when checks were gone and Paxum ACH wasn't available the only option was getting Firstchoice/payoneer card or paxum card. I really really hate the fact I had to get a Paxum. All my other sites I absolutely never pay to receive my own money and I get it by check in the mail or direct deposit to my bank account.

Profile views shoot up if you're doing free preview. When I don't, I may be online for 6 hours, bidding for placement throughout, and maybe get 40 profile views. If I'm in free for 2 hrs, I'll get 200 views.

Start a new account and ride the burst of interest :) don't be tempted to go cheap either (£3+ for private is a good starting point). I use American sites the same way you're planning to use AW cause they always like US girls best, but often they can pleasantly surprise me. Go for it x

Has anyone utilized the rental movie feature on AW? How does it work if it's downloaded? If they purchase the movie for 24hours and download it, can they keep it forever or is it encoded so that it stops working after 24 hours?
it says that thats the case but you can download clips for 'forever' use so I dont know there is also a way they can do this for rentals
Classy_Katy

Movies are meant to be pay per view, if they are downloaded though, they stop working after a certain length of time. Rentals should be time limited too.

Movie clips don't......I was surprised because I thought they were PPV too! I dont know why but maybe its certain formats can be downloaded and kept - i dont know - if you view in the browser then yes its ppv bt to view in your media player the file downloads and doesnt seem to expire

I've arguments with AW over this and they accused me of having special software as I could download. I have experimented though, it may take some time but the movies will stop playing eventually.

I'm using 800x600 but you can go higher. Use 1.5mbps max bitrate and 30 fps. Use a wired connection if possible. Mine works best with the laptop plugged into the mains rather than running off the battery.

Hmm. Anything higher than 800 x 448 makes it look pixelated (at my end, anyway).

Yes, pushed it up to 1.5mbps, it was on 30fps as it was. Lighting could be better, but I tried it with South-facing daylight (WHEN it was sunny) and still had the distortion. I need to try poking about in the cam settings, couldn't find the image settings when I looked earlier. I suspect it may be that.

So, today AW finally shut down my profile and made me submit a new ID and verification photo.
The interesting thing is that when I applied roughly 4 years ago, my ID was a single photo including: my expired American passport in my maiden name, my valid driver's license in my married name, and a post-it with a handwritten note explaining the situation. (Do not try this at home: I don't think they'll approve something like that again!) Apparently whoever screened it was a total slacker or had a sense of humor. When I got my passport renewed a couple years back, I tried to update my ID, but they literally wouldn't let me upload a new one. As far as I can tell, the reason they finally made me redo the ID is that the driver's license in my weird little collage recently expired.
Anyhow, I hope they reactivate me soon and don't give me any shit, since I followed all the directions correctly this time.
