Have you heard anything about what they're going to do about webcam daily featuring & if they're going to keep it as it is?
Im not sure if you're talking to me but Im not sure tbh - I dont really use AW anymore as my internet cant handle split camming, I just got an email from dailypay with that date so thought I'd share in here :)

I am in Canada and interested in joining Adultwork. What are their payment methods? I don't like Paxum too many problems and like epayservice but wondering if this site would be a good option for me. thanks

I used to be on AW many moons ago.
I went to MFC and was pretty successful on there. But I really hate needy guys attaching themselves to me and taking control over me, as much as I am tough and always will put guys in their place, it just irritates me.
Anyway to the question, I feel like adultwork is less like that? I feel like guys come along get what they want & pay and then just return whenever they want to jerk off again, would you say that's true?
Wham bam thank you mam guys.
Is it possible to make £200-£300 a week for 3 days camming as that's how many days I have spare.

yes, aw has less needy guys, most just come to jerk off and go away. about the 200/300 i dont know, maybe if u are a brit yes, for foreigners is harder.

AW has its share of needy guys. I certainly dont advertise toward the wham bam thank you mam guys but i know they are there. It's a site where you don't have to do free chat and guys know they hae to pay. The tipping culture is not so great because they pay per min, but you can still milk them.

So now that the pre booked shows have been diabled from the site annoyingly I'm having to look at private ways to take shows as I refuse to use the backwards 'special offers' method and to be honest I don't frankly understand how it works completely.
Anyways, is taking a bank transfer safe to do? I'd have to give out my account number and sort code, can guys do damage with this info?
Any other methods of offering skype bookings privately?
I'm so fucking livid they've decided to do this. I've been on the site for years and I have regulars that only ever do skype shows and it's going to serious impact my earning as well as hundreds of other girls I'm sure. Plus a massive loss to their own earnings from customers no longer using their site to book through. I cannot see the logical business decision behind doing this!

idk about bank transfers but Id feel wary
there's loads of skype related sites tho - cammodeldirectory (75%), livecammodelshows (85%), indiebill (85%), camlust (75%). Some of these even have their own internal traffic so you may pick up clients there - theres probably others but those are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head
I was having a look at this, you could also use bitcoin?

I know of escorts taking payment this way. You would need a method that shows you instantly that payment has been made and can't be reversed.

Such a shame about Skype bookings going. It's nice to have that guaranteed chunk of £ sat in your turnover page especially if like me you have a few regs who book 10 minutes and cum within 3-4 mins!
I use bank transfer for my non-aw clients and it's never caused me any issues. Also I know we are probably all aware of this but for anyone who's new to this game - please DO NOT be tempted to use paypal, unless you have a business account (correct me if I'm wrong, I can't 100% remember) it shows the clients your full real name. I made that mistake a few years ago.
I'd also say if anyone's tempted to take AW clients away from the site and take direct payment then you run the risk of having your account banned. Sorry I'm probably preaching to the converted here, but would hate for anyone to get banned if say a Skype client turned nasty and wanted to report you to the site. Just something to be mindful of x

Idk - I've found this last week fairly quite & I even popped into free yesterday for a while. It's weird because I've had some of my worse days when I've featured & some of my best when I haven't featured at all. I sill buy daily featuring now & again, but it doesn't usually bring me instant results on that day.

The last time that I set up a special offer show for 5 mins ass worship ( I think it was for ) Some guy bought it, then said he didn't want ass worship & wanted me to do something I didn't really want to do that cheap. I felt obliged to do what he wanted though because if I didn't he could've left me a neg feedback. He just abused it - so I won't do special offer shows again after that.
It only takes one idiot.

I've trialed daily featuring for camming and found that it only helped movie sales and overall wasn't worth it.

Literally over £300 in skype bookings from one guy the other day. He won't use direct cam. AW are monumentally fucking stupid!
Re bank transfers - yes i use this, but as of july this year all UK banks will insist on transfers being made to the person named on the account only, so you'd have to give them your real name!
Paypal is a no no.
Circle pay has just gone caput
Google and apple pay require use of your real name.
Cashapp can be used but only within uk/with uk guys
I trialled bitcoin via coinbase but think it's way too confusing. Recieving £1 from my hubby COST me 99.9 pence!
The indie sites are ok but really who wants to give up 15% when we've had the option of keeping 100%. Only worth a fee cut if the site brings you traffic.

That's interesting, do you have a source for that..? Not doubting you, just curious as this will mean I need to seek an alternative! I wonder how easy it would be to set up an account under a business name in order to take bank transfers. I think I may look into cash app, 99% of my clients are UK. Has anyone here used that..?
Circle pay used to work well for me but they must have caught onto what I was doing as they banned my account a few months ago before they went down.

Does AW have rules against taboo? I had a guy tell me something taboo in text chat (it sounds like a fantasy, what he said goes against what he has said before, so I am not worried). And I sat there going, "I am sure the system would kick him out for writing that, or me for responding" but it didn't. I know the system booted people for including pound signs in text chat, so thought it would be similar for other rule violations (assuming this is a rule). Anyone got any experience with this?

You may use non-exclusive pictures (that belong to you or feature you) in your Free and Private Gallery areas.
They need to get their act together...this is so wide, this would apply to private pictures and in theory pictures for movies too.

I emailed them a couple of years back to ask them which pictures needed to be exclusive because the T&C's with regards to pictures & content seemed unclear & I'm not sure they have changed any of the wording recently. Webmaster emailed back & confirmed that it is just the 3 main profile pictures that need to be exclusive.
I'm going to email them again later on tonight to find out if that has changed because if it has I will have to take down most of my free gallery. It's not a big deal really because I'm finding AW good for CAM at the moment & I don't think a free gallery is necessary when you just cam.

I think it's always been worded like that Katy but I've emailed them again to ask them to confirm if there are new changes.
I would have to delete most of my private gallery if they are now insisting on exclusivity because I've used a lot of the content elsewhere & I can't delete from the other site because they don't allow it once a gallery has been sold.
I also mentioned in my email that a lot of us will have uploaded content going back years & that is a lot to have to go all through deleting it's been used elsewhere.
I think the wording is the same as it always was but because some part of it has been updated it's causing confusion again & I can't find the thread on saafe to see what's been said about it there.
Hopefully AW will get back to me tomorrow.

There ARE new changes - the wording of the ToS for this changed in May this year. Prior to this it said something like "the main profile pics" or similar. Now it says "Any pictures". And people who have contacted them have been told it applies to EVERYTHING you put on your profile.

And thats why I took All my Private pics an Movies off. I honestly think that the guys from the Uk are way to cheap. Clips for not even a pound, a few hundred pics for a fiver. Audio's I sell on other sites for 15 or 20$, only for a pound or 2 on AW.
Kristen_Krystal
06-30-2019, 05:13 PM
Thanks, Cat, I'll check out the link later.
Insisting on exclusivity just doesn't any sense to me so I will probably delete my entire free gallery & private one because I sell far more content on my other site than I do on AW at the moment & I couldn't delete my pictures on TTM even if I wanted to.
I've been considering getting rid of my free gallery for a while now so this will be the push I need.
I'm not sure what's going on with AW but tonight I've been on Cam & phone from 5 pm till now and made the grand profit of just under 10 credits. On my other site in the same time frame, I've made just under $ 200. I don't always make near to that amount on a regular daily basis & TTM is very glitchy at moment but still, my listings on there have gradually & constantly grown since I joined the site just like it did on AW until they created to stupid mobile site.
How is this new content exclusivity going to affect those with 6-month gallery subscriptions? We're not supposed to delete content when some-ones subscribed & I would imagine most providers use their content elsewhere. Someones did not think this through properly.
I'm going to focus on finishing off signing up to some other sites now. Problem is - I start the sign-up process & then I suddenly get busy again but unfortunately, AW has just become too inconsistent for me & demanding exclusive content is just too much. Just taking pictures is time-consuming for so I feel for Ladies that make clips as well.

This is a quote from the rules -
"Any pictures uploaded must only be used in conjunction with AW site(s). If the pictures are found on any other website your membership may be jeopardised."
The rules never stated "Any pictures uploaded" before - it was at is still is on the pictures tab - where you upload your profile pictures "Your 3 profile pictures must be exclusive to AdultWork.com and not be used on any other website. You may use non-exclusive pictures (that belong to you or feature you) in your Free and Private Gallery areas."
It was only ever meant to be the 3 profile pictures to cut down on people abusing their account and only these photos as they are immediately viewable on the site.
It makes no sense to make all the other pictures exclusive to the site, someone doesn't know what they are doing.

This is not a suggestion to redirect custies from AW - don't do that!
Expand your 'net' to catch custies in i.e. use social media, blogs, clip sites, indie sites, forums. Using the same name absolutely everywhere also helps curious guys from cam sites find you elsewhere x

For those who are leaving AW, are any of you PSOs? I mostly do phone/IM sessions with a BDSM/fetish bent, which I love. I want to keep doing them but outside of AW & NiteFlirt, I don't know of anywhere where people actually make bank doing this.
