Idiot documentary makers on the prowl again ladies so beware! Gave them an earful when they messaged me today. In case you need reminding - these shows DO NOT have your best interests at heart, they are careless with your personal information. There have been numerous cases where girls have been outed and/or faced online and offline abuse. While it may give you a temporary bump in interest ot won't lead to significant or sustained enough remuneration for it to be worth it. But what it WILL do is encourage yet more models into the business to become our competition. You can find better ways to promote yourself!

My Auto tweets are still working @Arwen - Have you advertised something on Twitter that you don't offer on AW - like a texting site or something?

Sorry for the late reply Kristen - thank you! I don't think so..I mean nothing that I didn't before. I just have the links to my other sites, and facetime on my Twitter. xx

Hi Ladies

Things are slow for a variety of reasons.

1. Brexit - as we get closer to deadline day folks are getting worried.
2. Boris Johnson - today we were greeted with the news Boris broke the law - this again has people worried.
3. Thomas Cook going bust - a lot of people will have booked holidays and are still to travel. They aren't going to spend much until they get their money back.
4. End of the month - in My experience it always goes dead just before pay day. It will pick up.

Just use the time to get creative. Create content, promote yourself, right an interesting blog, update your photos in your galleries, do some serious promotion across social media. But DON'T GET FRUSTRATED. If you start panicking, it will come across in your came shows - boys don't pay girls who sound and look desperate. Hang on in there!

I had a show with one of my long time skype regulars - he said that directcam is not as good as skype and the sound quality isn't as good either. I would normally have a 30 or 45 credit booking each time but only earned 22 credits with it being directcam.

Is anyone having trouble with JCI losing connection today? It's driving me nuts, cut me off three times in the last hour. I know it's not my connection as I'm connected to JCI on a second laptop next to it to another site which is not disconnecting.

Make that four times.

WTF?

I have to agree with this, it was pretty slow before the last expected Brexit day, then the day after it was delayed I had my best day of the entire year. People hold onto their money when they're not sure if there's going to be food and/or fuel shortages.
Sucks for us, but this is why it's worth being on multiple platforms. I'm doing decently enough in clip sales that while it's annoying that Adultwork cam has slowed right down it's not a massive dent on my earnings.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-50073102

Classy_Katy

Have to see what this entails:

"porn providers would be expected to meet a new "duty of care" to improve online safety. This will be policed by a new online regulator "with strong enforcement powers to deal with non-compliance".

"This course of action will give the regulator discretion on the most effective means for companies to meet their duty of care,"

Classy_Katy

Don't celebrate yet...

Myles Jackman, obscenity lawyer and vocal opponent of the Age Verification proposals, says that Morgan’s wording leaves the potential for even further reaching measures in the future.

“Whilst this might seem like a victory for privacy, security and common sense, the implied threat that the mechanics of age verification could be introduced to social media platforms like Twitter and Reddit, via the proposed Online Harms Bill, with the same risks of intimate personal data theft, sale and publication as before, is frankly chilling,” Jackson told SEXTECHGUIDE.

It's getting worse... so glad it's not just me who thinks this!

I have been branching out in a big way. AW was a nice starting point for me, but it's a little... small and getting smaller. The company isn't focused on growth and partnership. They seem to be more focused on us working for them like employees and us growing their brand. Ah, that's not gonna work y'all...

The Brexit insights are good, thank you all for those! I lived in the UK during the vote and it was a difficult time then - to a foreign, but I think also for the locals - can't imagine how bad it would be now. Sending the British ladies lots of support right now!

I really agree with this. I started here too but I’ve found over time it’s got quieter and quieter and like you say, they don’t seem to have any focus on growth or advertising. It’s like they expect us to do that for them.

i think the site will just keep on dying out over time. Cam wise anyway.

According to AW their takings have sky rocketed since stopping the Skype shows. Everyone I know has said their earnings have decreased. Big mistake by AW in my opinion.

Kristen_Krystal
10-22-2019, 02:43 AM
It's definitely gone downhill since I first started on there & I don't want to make clips on there because of the free view. I'd have to price them over 10 credits & no-one would buy them because the guys are so cheap on there.

I find I do better on AW when I cam sporadically & last night I got a bath, washed my hair & I didn't even bother to straighten it or put any make-up on. I just put on a pair of sunglasses & hopped on for an hour - I had one person in for about 30 seconds & that was it.

When it gets like that you know it's time to move on :)

I've also been doing a little research on other sites ( mainly token ) I watched one young lady for about an hour the other night. She claimed to be new, sat there with her face off cam the entire time watching a film in the dark - lol. She was wearing a pair of cotton frumpy knickers & baggy t-shirt on & all as she did was grind away on the couch at the sound of tips & them tips were coming through thick & fast. She was in the top row with about 8000 viewers.

In the time I watched her she briefly got nude once & then quickly got dressed again.

What I found interesting though is that as soon as she got nude, the tips stopped coming.

She seemed to make no effort what-so-ever & appeared to make 1000's in tokens - even her tip vibe didn't appear to be activated because it wasn't lighting up at all the tips.

I know where I'm on my way to next.

^ it's a difficult move from paid only to token sites, but if ypu persist and put the effort in it can be worth it. I still enjoy mfc on the odd occasion i hop on, and I've made the most money there the most quickly, out of all sites.

Aw isn't dying though, it's just much harder now. I believe them when they say they're making more. There's regularly 70 or more models in private now of an evening and similar in group. While OUR sales have gone down as they're more spread out, AW is raking it in. They have no incentive whatsoever to make things better for us. In fact they prefer the cheap foreign models imo.

For a long time now I've worked aw alongside 2 other box sites and encouraged indie shows. If you want really good money (like pre 2015 aw) you have to x

Victoria_Gray

I don't do cam because I thought I would have to go all out with make up and hair, etc. But if you can do this while keeping your face off cam, then why not...

It does seem like it's getting harder all around which is a shame. Hmm.... You're all giving me plenty to think about rn though.

I start camming on AW and I only showed half my face for the first two months or so. I put a little bit of make up on the bottom of my face and that was it. I did really well!! I was already in loads of hot lists as I’d been on there for nearly 3 years before I cammed which might have helped. But I know other girls who only ever cammed and just showed their face and do well from what I understood.

I like that idea!

I also like the idea of not doing straight-up toy shows. I have been watching some of the MFC girls doing other things, and it looks like more fun. Plus, being a domme, I want to maintain a bit of CFnm sort of norms, although, not sure how to do that with camming either - which was why I hadn't really explored it.

Kristen_Krystal
10-27-2019, 10:30 PM
You could get a little eye mask. I used to wear one of these when I first started camming but be prepared for them constantly mithering for you to take it off - You can make quite a bit of money just by having to keep saying no to the boundary pushers.

I very rarely have to get fully nude on cam - If you make a big think of your outfits the guys often be happy just coming in to see what you're wearing. You could invest in a sexy latex catsuit and do some simple latex ass worship shows in & stuff like that.

You could also make a big thing out of C2C & how much you enjoy instructing them on cam. I hate JOI & I'm crap at it but it's one of the things I get asked for most on AW, so maybe you would be good at that in your sexy catsuit ;)

No there isnt. They have to contact AW. Did you know that if they take up a special offer then only use half of it, they can get a refund for the unused?

My issue is not with the guys - I did a lot of answering IM's trying to find ways for guys to get in my room. Just recalled WAY back there was problems with JCI in general and it was via here that I found instructions to tell guys how to update their tech.

I wonder why the problem is special offer specific ?? < just musing out loud. Appreciate your input!! x

LolaLu
10-28-2019, 10:55 AM
I dont know about the problem I was just letting you know in general that they can get a refund on their special offer rate if they have unused minutes. So you give them an offer price because they are buying a block of time then they cum early and go get a refund of the unused - easy way to get a cheap rate if you ask me.

On another note - I am never one to complain about sites being quiet but AW is fast becoming a side earner for me whereas it has always been the main player. Its so dead

That they should update the software...imagine! :O

I think with traffic/earnings, I look at AW and think of how many more camgirls there are online. Across the industry this is the case. I stick with AW as I have regulars who seek me out, sometimes incredibly surprising as I am terrible at keeping any schedule. I can't cope with freeview sites!! That style has not worked for me. The other site I work on has even worse technology, still running FLASH < which my browser is saying it will no longer support after Dec 2020.

I do offer freechat on AW from time to time and it does help a bit. Most of those that seek me out now are old regs. I've recently started on Streamate and the free is a pain but the takings are what AW used to be

I had a guy about a week ago told me he wasn't able to buy one of my special offers. I've been making special offers & have not yet had one person buy one yet, so I think you're right, I don't think they are working.

It does desperately need updating the Just Cam software I agree & even the customers are saying it.

Kristen_Krystal, they are working but super glitchy. First guy was able to get in after switching browser, tho don't know which he was using, and he had issues with 2 purchases. Second guy was using an ipad and I think that may have been the problem. For some reason special offers load more slowly that going straight into chat via prvt or group.

I find special offers of MOST use as a form of advertising, guys defo browse through and get caught by fantasies and ideas in special offer descriptions.

Kristen_Krystal
10-28-2019, 06:37 PM
That's how I've been using my special offers as a way of trying to inspire them a little.

I always find that my guys on mobile devices have more issues than if they're using a laptop or proper pc.

I didn't even realize until last night that two sound actually could work in C2C. Very rarely could I hear the guy in C2C & if I could it was horrible because I could also hear myself in the background but last night I had a great guy that knew what he was doing & he had headphones on & I could hear him pretty well. That was a first for me & he used a wired connection & it was good.
