I dont know why im getting so many as well, looks like aw wants me gone...
Oh, I thought you meant that it happened on Skype, not Direct Cam.
I think you've just been very unlucky Sylvy. I wonder if it's the same customer that keeps targeting you using different stolen cards and profiles? Each time they've spent quite a lot of money which makes me think it might be the same guy.

But aw doesnt say anything and i have sent many emails to them. I spoke to Collin from dailypay and he said he never saw so many escrows from one model only, which makes me wonder if aw knows i was the one sending them to hell previously.....lol if they do, then i might be in trouble.;;; lol

No - I think you've just had a run of bad luck & maybe it's the same person that keeps on targeting you. I don't know. I've only had it happen once ages ago for a very small amount & they paid it back to me.
I would email the Webmaster & see if they can investigate what's going on because 3 in the space of a few months is a lot & if it is the same guy then they might be able to permanently block him.
You might get this latest one refunded yet - fingers crossed.

I got 4, with this last one...its a lot! only one was paid and that one was small. all the others werent paid to this day, so i doubt the last one will as it was over 100 creds....im just getting very frustrated at this to tell you the truth.

I am thinking about offering C2C, however, my shows will be me telling boys what to do, rather than them seeing me naked/me doing a toy show or whatever. Is this a thing on Adult Work?

Yes that's a thing, they do like to see us even if we are fully dressed and just talking to them. I only offer C2C in private shows though.

Totally possible, just don't fall for anybody saying you should open their cam before you go into private, wait until they're in there.
Unrelated but has anybody found AW really quiet the last fortnight?

Hey,wanted to post the same thing.Trying to figure it out if its time for me to search for a vanilla job,as Aw is my only source of income and I can t really work on token websites...
Its been really really slow for me lately,everyday in free chat I can see the same members making compliments but never paying.When someone is coming in pvt all I can get is a boring quick show,they don t wanna talk and all they wanna see is...pussy.
Its been a long time since I haven t used my toy lol.I only make money with my regulars(although some of them are broke and playing with themselves in free chat )
I ve tried everything but ..nope.I know this website has ups and downs,but just wondering if any of you ladies found it really slow lately.I m starting to lose hope..
Kristen_Krystal
05-03-2019, 10:57 AM
Yes - same here. It's nothing like as good as it used to be a few years back.
I very rarely look at the main cam page - I probably glance at it about once a year but I did so a few days back. It was about 4.am and there hardly seemed to be anyone priced over 3 a min for private. The average cam rates have tanked on AW and it makes wonder if the site is flooded with studio/manged girls or is it just everyone is struggling and pricing themselves super cheap. They certainly were on the cheap side that morning.
Even daily featuring doesn't seem to make all that much difference. You can no longer rely on site traffic like you once could.
I've only recently started cam again on AW & it's very up and down - decently long shows are too few - they're all short peeper type shows that last under 2 minutes - as soon as they see tits they're gone!
sexysusie
05-03-2019, 11:48 AM
It's a mix of both, girls are racing to the bottom of the pricing pile out of desperation, meanwhile paying upwards of £5/hour positioning. At the same time parasitic groups are flooding the site with new girls recruited from students and single moms.
Don't fall for the desperation game. Keep your rates high, higher than most if anything.. it differentiates you.
Also you really need to be promoting yourself on social media and via blogs, and working more than just AW.

Yeh the average price per min for UK girls has dropped loads!!! Not sure why but I guess it works for them
Me myself I trialled it and made nothing so put back high and its the only way I make money here, so im staying high.....I average about 2 calls an hour but its better to have those at a decent rate than at pittance....the traffic just isn't high enough to warrant such low prices!!

Many don't have access to forums like this or a mentor to guide them, and they don't yet have the benefit of experience. Low rates are because they don't know any better.

Mornings have been rubbish for me lately...Friday morning I was on for 2 hours and made 8 credits. Think I'll just do afternoons now but you can never be sure as it's so variable and I have a regular who likes an early 8am show.

Thanks for your feedback ladies. I might look into the C2C.
In regards to it being quiet, yes, I have had that too. I just raised my rates and won't put them back down. This isn't my only source of income so I can brave the storm, but I do hope it's over soon as I have not seen my regulars in a fortnight and as strange as it may sound, I do miss them and their kinky stories and fantasies. The money is nice too, but my stories, damn it!

A bunch of my regs showed back up last night and I ended up having a really good day yesterday, so I'm not sure if the tumbleweed recently was related to two bank holidays in a short space of time?

No more bookings...
"As a result of feedback from both sides of the membership we have decided to remove the webcam booking system from the Site. All members wishing to provide fixed length or fixed price bookings should do so using DirectCam Special Offers."
Oh GREAT. There goes half of what pitiful clientele I have left.
ETA - anyone know when this is happening? There's no time frame on the Help pages.
LolaLu
05-08-2019, 12:46 PM
This is not something I will be offering and tbh I am not happy about it. Adultwork are now actively offering members a refund for direct cam special offers not completely redeemed. I was offering a discounted rate for a set booking - they blew their load before said time and they can apply for a refund equal to the amount of time not used. They get a cheaper per minute rate. My special offers got taken off as soon as this was confirmed by AW then I was sent a screenshot of AW from the service seeker point of view and they have a special link clearly visible stating 'claim your refund here'
The majority of my Skype customers use Skype because they are unable to use the C2C feature in JCI

THIS! I get terrible feedback/echo on the JCI C2C software, and the box is TEENY TINY. Sometimes that's a blessing(!!) but mostly it's a pain when you're trying to respond and react to what you CAN ONLY JUST ABOUT SEE.

I wonder if they might update just cam - that c2c box it is tiny - I have to get right close up to the screen to see my customer.
Last two time I took a Skype booking with someone not already in my contacts - it wouldn't connect through link and the guy said he couldn't find me on Skype and I spent an hour messing around and ended up having to refund. Even the refund took an hour because the refund form was glitchy too, but I did like Skype for my one-way booking guy and the odd phone chat with Skype I got.
Suprised they've got rid of Skype though.

05-08-2019, 03:22 PM
No more skype bookings is a terrible terrible idea! I don't get many bookings anymore but wow what a stupid idea to remove one of our valuable sources of income.
Thanks for the heads up on special offers too, I'll be removing my cam show ones forthwith!
I swear AW get dumber by the day.
**edit: just looked and i still have skype function. Where does it say about bookings being removed?
LolaLu
05-08-2019, 03:33 PM
A reason that seems unlikely is that they asked service providers and seekers and they all said stop pre booked shows....
Yet, thats the reason stated!

Or it might be part of the clean up act like they have been doing with videos. If they can't monitor it, it could be against the rules/laws and they might be concerned about their liability as the platform where the show is paid for.
What did they do to their videos? I was thinking of making some clips myself and didn't know they were cracking down on them...

Several of us have had problems following updating skype. I lost all my contacts, my customer couldn't connect to me through his contact list or find me on searching. Eventually I got his skype address out of him and re-added him to my skype contacts, then we could have the show. Being a regular helped but it took about 40 minutes to sort out.

Who would ever ask for pre-booked shows to be removed? Customers and camgirls would just not use them if they didn't like them!

The thing with them getting rid of pre-booked Skype sessions is that there is a huge chunk of guys who will ONLY cam via that medium; either they can't use DirectCam or they don't like it, and those guys are just going to go elsewhere to spend their money or they're gonna find ways to pay girls directly to keep Skyping them.
I constantly have guys I've Skyped with asking to pay me for future sessions directly (I direct them to my AW page to re-book me) and I feel like these new rules will just push more guys away from the site to keep on getting the services they enjoy.. *shrugs* :-/ Super annoying.. There's some days where I get one or two Skype bookings and it'll make up like a third of my income for the day which is a god send when DirectCam is slow..

Just spoke to aw via live chat and they advised they are going to update software so users wont have issues with c2c and need to use skype, they also confirmed its because they cant manage disputes with skype bookings due to being offsite. Also confirmed I cant take payment via a client tipping in free and then moving to skype.

What was the reason they gave you for the suspension?
jessy56
05-09-2019, 06:30 AM
They didn t say any specific reason ...they sent me info about Terms of Use.
You have arrived at this point because you or someone you are obviously associated with has:
- committed credit card fraud or credits laundering
- used still images in DirectCam
- used pre-recorded video in DirectCam
- had more than one profile per person
- shared the same video feed across more than one JustCamIt login/profile
- pretended to offer services (such as Escorting) that you don't
- pretended to be in a different country than you actually are
- pretended to be of a different orientation or sexual preference (e.g. TV/TS) than you actually are), either in your summary or nickname
- attempted to deceive members into paying you funds directly by Western Union, PayPal etc. for services you have no intention of providing
- used an old profile to advertise a new model or used an old profile try and get around the verification system.
- used proxy servers to conceal your true location
- created a new profile to avoid paying an advisor fee or left a group under advisor control.
none of this applies to me( as far as I am concerned)I have sent an email to my Business Advisor,I am still waiting for a replay.On the live chat they told me I need to wait for my Business Advisor email.Nothing else to do I guess...I am just nervous because I want my account bk,or at least have the option to register with a new one

This happened to me a couple months ago, and it turns out that there was this website called twicsy that had a replicate of my twitter profile with all its pictures (some of them my unique Adultwork profile pictures that got auto-tweeted every time I got online) in it without my permission, and since having your profile pics anywhere else is not allowed, they just suspended me. Had to message twicsy with a DMCA report to get them removed, but the AW advisors didn't care that it wasn't my fault.
I really REALLY hope that this is not the case with you, because I had to start from 0 with a new profile on there, and they also treated me like shit.
Hugs! xx

I was just reading this thread and wondering the same, like what happens if we used a slit cam to cam on two sites that both use Just Cam.
I read on another thread on here that someone said they use Just Cammit lite in their browser for bs & the regular Just Cam for AW . Is this a way around it or would that register also sharing the same feed on one justcamIt profile?
I don't think AW like the idea of split cam - I doubt any of the cam sites do really, but people are going to split if they can to maximize their earnings.

It seems that in my case,the suspension was because my profile picture was included in a blog article a long time ago (have forgotten about it).So not because split camming,not sure if this is against the rules or not but I will double check with them as soon as they will reopen my account(hopefully).

What are people doing to ensure a regular income from Adult Work? Currently, I try to keep my profile up to date with pictures and clean copy (I'm a writer, so the later isn't much of a problem). I am good to my regulars, putting in the effort to remembering what they like and am genuinely interested in learning more about them and feeding their hot little fantasies, I even uploaded a bunch of pictures of my private gallery yesterday. The website seems quiet for me at the moment though. Am I doing something wrong or is the place just dead?
sexysusie
05-13-2019, 09:21 PM
You can't just rely on the site. AW isn't dead but there is a lot more competition now. Use social media, blogging, guest blogs, your own site, videos, niche forums etc to bring people in. And cam on other sites too so you have more of a guaranteed income.
Also you should try some different profile pics like a full bodyshot or two. They don't have to be professional (better if they're not actually) but try to show off your best features and/or something about what they can expect. Wearing red or pink can help to get attention.
