I've also been getting phone calls now, plus skype bookings (I had not had any since June). I wonder if it's all related. As in, guys not being able to use directcam and being kicked out and trying other venues.

I'm starting to wonder if the software isn't as compatible with mobile phone users as perhaps some other sites? When we have high-spec laptops, top of the range processors, high speed broadband, etc and they're still getting kicked, it makes me wonder if it's not their shitty phones and internet connections trying to livestream HD quality feeds. We spend stupid amounts of money to provide a top-notch service, but I don't think the guys are investing as heavily in wank technology. I could be wrong.

As soon as they get this sorted we might get more popping in and staying

In fairness though any laptop, tablet and phone should stream. They see it working on YouTube so it must be fit for purpose on any streaming site. The fact they are on wireless is probably more the issue. I think JCI are upgrading for the new year so fingers crossed.

I've been asked by another cam lady for my AW referral code. I wasn't aware that we have an affiliate code for models, but she seems to think that we do.
I am looking at the site, but I can't see anything.
Are any of you aware of and affiliate/referral code for models?
Many thanks!

Why would another cam lady want it? We can post a link that includes our ID number so guys can sign up through it then we get a pittance if they spend money.

It's not the referral link for guys I'm talking about.
She wants to do me a favour by signing up using a referral code for models. But I wasn't aware that there is such a thing.

There isn't any other referral link or code.
If she is a model, you would think she would want to sign up other models through her own code, if one existed. She may be talking about Daily Pay as models do get commission for signing others up to that but nothing like that exists for AW...unless that's something that's been started and I'm unaware of it.

I had my first "in work" dream since I started camming last night. I must be getting too absorbed in politics because I dreamt I was doing a JOI show for Boris Johnson! <shudders> I wasn't doing it very well though and he complained (I was probably put off by seeing it was him) but he seemed ok when I apologised for having an off day!

Not sure about that Sylvy but yesterday I had 3 different guys come in and they had zero bandwidth for a while, then it jumped to 2, then back to zero. None of them typed anything so I assume they didn't connect at their end. So frustrating but I did get paid for the time they were there. Add that to the fact it was slow as fuck too. Still, onwards and upwards!
Katy that is so funny!

Hey fetish, thnx for the response. So the problem is this: I always worked from my living room and recently changed to my bedroom. Started to see some drops in me connection and it started to get worse and worse. I work with 2 lap tops, One runs aw and the other camcontacts. I would get disconnected like 10 times a day, and i was almost getting insane. Well before yesterday i called a tech guy and he said the problem was on my router, he changed it and yes, my connection problems improved like 98%, but yesterday and today, the lap top running aw, dropped once, only once, but not only the aw softare, but the whole internet. Whats funny, is that, only this lap top which is wired up to the wall dropped, the other running on wifi didnt. So, my thinking is that it only can be jci doing this, there is no other explanation. Im getting crazy with this already. lol

Lol Adultwork is retarded. I submitted my ID, passport, two verification pictures, then asked if I did it right because it lumped me in with Eastern Europeans and this was the email response I got:
Hello,
Thank you for your message.
However, may we remind you that you are a national of a High-Risk rated country on AdultWork.com. Therefore, your verification/re verification requirements are the same as those for the Eastern Europeans or other countries classified as High-Risk.

WTF JCI? I keep getting people (well ok not that many) coming in and their bandwidth stays at 0 and they can't talk or see me, I assume anyway. Either that or it goes from 0 to 2 to 0 and I get paid but they can't do anything. Nobody can come through properly and it's hardly fucking busy. Driving me nuts.

Sylvy there will always be those who have cheap rates, I don't let it affect what I charge, I see what works for ME and keep on working on carving out a distinctive niche that my regs come back for. A reg said recently 'I come back because you really 'get me' ..' < which in reality is about being able to look interested! And think about what that person is asking for.

I think, and please don't shoot me down, a lot of the cheaper priced cammers and I mean very cheap are not based in the UK and they can afford to charge less. Apologies if this is a gross generalisation. From what I've seen it is often the case. However a big part of the appeal of webcam is the one-on-one interaction with the girl as opposed to porn where you will always be a third party watching. Guys love the chat and involvement and will choose to chat with a woman for many reasons, looks is one but personality and conversation is another. So price is not always the only factor. Thank God! Luckily I have a sparkling personality to keep them coming back!!! ;)
Apologies too for stating the obvious!

Fetish, you are right. Im In South America and I could, if i wanted to, to charge less, because my currency worths 4 times less than pounds, but i dont. At this point of my life, being over 40's, i dont have the patience and energy to look happy and fresh on cam if i charge that low. I know the business and know my potential to get clients on the rate i charge. I rant sometimes, but i know that each girl is entitled to do whatever she wants and no one should mess with her business....apologizing for the rant.

Life would be very dull if we were all the same! I agree each girl should be able to charge what she wants for whatever reason she wants. What someone needs to live on and what they are happy to earn is unique to them. There are guys that won't pay much and there are guys who will pay more. In every walk of life somebody will undercut you. I used to sell on a well known auction site (sorry off track) and it was a total race to the bottom, very depressing. Hence the reason I do this and luckily sometimes guys actually pay to see me strip! Still surprises me on a regular basis... :)

I don't find this. The CHEAPSKATES prefer cheap Group prices, but I have things that are saved for Private, and if they want THAT THING they need to go Private. If they really like you and want THAT THING they will go Private. If they are reluctant and stay in Group (or leave), they don't get THAT THING.
I tried having the same prices once, and it confused guys not understanding why if its the same price that they couldn't stay in Group (I don't do certain things in Group). Example: I'm happy to dominate a group of men, but fetishes are individual. I don't wanna put off other potential customers.

No, your undivided attention is worth more. They would be less likely to go into private as they will think that you offer the same things in both. I offer more in private and won't do certain things in group.

I think it's an ego thing too, guys like to go private so they have you all to themselves and don't have to share you, they often prefer that so I would definitely charge more for pvt than group. If you charge the same guys will all go private and you won't get the benefit of multiple guys at once. Ooo-er haha!

I wondered if you ladies could help me out, I am frustrated with AW movies. When I upload a clip which is usually between 250-250MB, I set say 10 credits as the price, when I check back an hour later it resets it to a really high price because it wants to auto charge 0.10 per MB. How do I stop it from doing this?

You can't stop it from doing that because the price is based on the file size. I make mine the smallest size I can while keeping them watchable. You're best to make them 11 credits than 10 to stop guys watching them for free with their freeviews, apparently a guy can only watch one of your movies this way.

Katy is right, there is a minimum charge which if you select less than this it will default higher. I like it because it stops people continually undercutting to be the cheapest then nobody makes any money. You need a video editing program (some are free such as Handbrake) and you need to convert the clip into a much smaller file size. I upload mine as the smallest file size and therefore the shittiest quality but I've never had issue with sales. HTH x
