Settings (at top right of page) Then subscriptions (left hand menu bar) select the ones you want to unsub from then click the drop down at the bottom of the section and select delete
Thanks, I was wondering if delete was the correct option instead of unsub which is what it usually says LOL
Thanks & take care

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
Oh my GOODNESS! Thank you Lolalu! Bye bye private special offers! How annoying.. No way are they getting me for lower than my usual private rate unless they are spending over 10 minutes in private!

Just use them for things that are HIGHER priced, or genuinely special etc. In mine they can pay my bills for a month, buy me a mani/pedi, pay a super high pay pig rate etc. I also have one 10 min private one that is only a teeeensy bit lower than my usual rate, so if they do bow out early i don't mind.

Hi all
Does anyone know how the SMS part works?
They are able to text you from the bottom of your profile page & it the text comes through to your phone. You then get paid only when you reply.

I would like to add to this and say that they can even text you when you're offline. I have a guy who texts to ask me if I am available to come online. It's better than messages because I actually get it, also I get like 50 p or something when I reply.

Does anyone here ever use the client connections feature? Does it work for you?
I'm in the process of starting from scratch on AW and when I started I'd already built my profile up over nearly 3 years prior when I started camming so I got off to a flying start but this time is a different situation!

I don't respond to messages send to me at all. I activated the "auto response" and wrote everything they need to know in that.
I just have enough of silly roleplay scenario's send to me (sometimes bigger than a hollywood screenplay) , silly messages like "HI" or "Are you available?" ...... My preferred contact Method is set to "2 way sms", but barely no one uses it. I think when we set that, it should only allow the costumer to communicate over that and not send messages for free. They are only a pain in the ass.
I always thought that only my US costumers want the nastiest taboo ageplays, no.... in fact the UK costumers are getting even worse at that.
The wishes are getting more and more disgusting. And I don't accept it at all when they try to tell me "Oh c'mon, it's just a fantasy!" If thats a fantasy to play with kids under the age of 15 ans way less ... than they have a serious problem.

2 way sms would be way better for the time wasters to be fair.
Although I do get some conversions to sales, mostly the messages are people just wanting freebies.
the age play stuff is huge on AW! I used to get it a lot, but no-one would message me before to pre-warn, they'd just whip it out in a phone call, often prefaced by, "I only have ten mins for this call between work meetings..." and I'd be like, "Can you only have eight mins for the next girl?"

Grim, isn't it. I've had it a fair bit on phone chat lately too.
I just don't think they should have the option to message for free..even if it's just a tiny, signature charge. I want them to pay!

I SO SO wish Adultwork would adopt the Talktome method whereby they can message you once for free, but subsequent messages have to be paid for. Even if it's just 25p, it dissuades them from wasting your time or thinking that once an IM session or call ends, we can carry on for free in emails. FUCKINGNO. I had a guy sent me SEVENTEEN messages yesterday. I gently pointed out that I rarely read messages and that with 17, I was struggling to keep up. He just laughed it off and sent 3 more messages. I'd block him if he didn't actually spend loads on long calls.

Do you pay for the AW feature where they send the actual content of the emails to you instead of just the notifications? It's not much, only around 4 credits for 6 mths or something.

I really wish they would start charging for mail too. I don't understand they're not doing this already.
Most just abuse the messaging service & I get so many timewasters messaging me asking for services I do not offer & it's clear as day I don't offer it. I hate that guys can just message any old offensive shite & it gets tolerated & they wouldn't be quite so bold with their filthy messages if they had to pay.
PTV would be great for the guys that like to send you pictures of himself. The only way he can do that now is by uploading to his profile & often they don't have to go to all that trouble.
I also wish that C2C in Direct IM worked too. I've had a fair few wanting me to watch their cam on it & it's frustrating that I can't. I don't always feel like being on cam but I'm always up for some 1-way & that was also what I mainly used Skype for - I could do that anytime I was logged on for phone & IM.

^ Tip: Charge extra for this. On all my sites barring aw (where i've never tried to figure out how/ if there's a way) I charge a flat £25 if they wish me to view their cam. Just because it's 'only IM' doesn't mean we shouldn't be paid for the special extras.
What sites hun?

That's a good idea Lola I might give that ago. The escort hunters are annoying & the " Meet " men. They don't even ask me most of the time, they just assume I do & start asking for an appointment - even though there's no rates or escort box ticked. It's so tedious. It's not fair. They wouldn't just go up to some random woman on the street asking if she escorts when she's not doing anything to suggest that she does.

What annoys me too is, that I can't see who's calling. I'm just not good with voices, so I always have to ask the name and what he's into ...... even when it;s a guy who called more than once on directchat. AW does a lot that you actually can't just click on the name of the guy and send him a message or contact him in any way .... I wish i could send messages out that I'm online, have a new offwe or new stuff uploaded, just like a mass message on ttm.
And as Blue-Velvet already mentioned, they should pay to send a message or read a reply. I have it written all over my profile, in every single tab that I don't do meetings and do not escort.
Still get asked at least 3 times a day.

You can message previous Directchat callers! I found this entirely by accident so I'll try to explain how!
Go to Emails & Bookings, the menu on the right which is Emails, bookings & more, go to Directchat call history - View Calls - every call you've ever had is there and if you click on the name on the left of the list it brings up the box to email them. Hope I explained it right!
It's really useful. But I also wish that when the call came through it gave you the user id because they always think we know who they are! On the other hand, you can add a little bit or extra credit while you explain...:)

You have to go leave instant message and go into directcam...I cam with a separate webcam and have a sticker over my built in webcam...so they can't see you but you can do cam2cam and see them. Raise your rate to the agreed price per minute or special offer price (I never do those, so just guessing that's how to do a fixed price now that we can no longer prebook with skype.)

I had thought about that Katy but it would be far too much hassle in the end & I'm trying to keep my stress to a minimum ;)
I'd have liked to have been able to ask for a tip in IM to watch their cam & then log out & change settings over to cam so that I can do the one-way, the problem is I can't always enable their cams if they're on a mobile device or they've got something else blocking it/ wrong browser - so I would then end up spending pure time getting stressed out trying work out why his cam is not working & then I'd have to find a way of refunding his tip.
I wouldn't bother just coming of IM to try his cam because there are so many time wasters on there & that's why it would just be so much easier to be able to this in IM. If the setting weren't greyed out by default, then I would be able to see if I'm likely to be able to view his cam before I asked for the tip.
They probably just need to update the player version package to have that feature enabled & if they did that, I'm sure it would pay for itself & I bet a lot of people were using Skype for one-way sessions.

I've just suggested the one-way cam feature in IM in the suggestion box & also for them to start stocking interactive toys. I can't believe that it doesn't sell them yet - I've been waiting for them to get them in for about 2 years now so I can put one in my wish list. I know other sellers sell them but I don't like the idea of people I don't know & trust having my personal address details.
Adult works market place doesn't really seem to be marketed towards female cammers - there's ton's of toys & props for men but not much there for women.

It's really horrible when you feel that way :( I gotta say, sometimes stepping back is the best thing you can do. Have an hour or so to cool off and try another site. If you only cam on AW then try again tomorrow. It's perverse but success breeds success and it's like they can literally smell desperation. When I am feeling really pressured I have to come away or I can guarantee I'll get stupid pointless questions, insults, no-shows, in and outs, and Looooong periods of nothing till i'm ready to explode!

Have you checked your profile views? I have had only the one call today - I work from home, and this is a side hustle, so I am not too bothered about that - but when I logged on to check something, I had only 6 profile views today. Which is super low.
Unsure if mine is just low because I stopped AWs auto-tweets - have been hearing about how those auto tweets get us shadow banned on twitter - or because I have not uploaded a pic in 30 days or what. But, maybe it's the website doing something funny?

I've only been asked to view a customer once...he was a regular and I went into directcam to view him, without any problems. New customers could be an issue...
I did a one-way tonight. I started in IM & then I switched over to cam & watched him. It was good & he was hot ;)
I made him a special offer but he didn't buy it for some reason but I didn't change my IM rate so appeared that I was on cam at 1.49 a min which then leads to other people asking if I'm still on cam thinking I'm doing privates at that rate - this is another problem. If I had changed the rate over to my cam rate, then I would've probably lost my one-way guy because for some reason he didn't want my special offer, even though I'd made it cheaper for him. He may have been concerned the one-way might not work & then he'd end losing out.
Tonight, just from that one guy chatting & then watching him - I've made my goal. There are guys that will want it but it needs to be easy to offer & easy for them to buy.

Yesterday was quite for me on AW - I didn't even make 10 credits doing phone & IM though. I think it might have been because of Bonfire night.
I made up for it on TalktoMe with a nice long webchat & few calls. Are you on there? I recomend it - it works well along side Adultwork & they now pay directly into our bank using SEPA.. It's been a good little regular side egg for me over the years.
Victoria_Gray

The only way i can think of on AW is like Katy said, to log out of im then into direct cam and keep something over your own cam. I charge to view their cams on sm, mfc, and niteflirt via skype x
Yeah, what Katy said ( actually I think that's a song).
Thanks for the cam sites too. :)

11-07-2019, 05:51 PM
TalktoMe now pay directly to the banks? I gave up despite doing well on there as they stopped offering any decent form of payment. I believe since then both the % and the traffic has gone down. Are you getting new clients on there Kristen or just regulars as i know you've been there a couple of years now?
They've been paying directly into our banks since about May - It only takes a day - it's good.
I've been on TMM for a few years now & I get new clients & I have regular callers still on there. I don't make enough on it for it to be my only site - I started off making enough to pay one or two bills & now I earn enough from it to pay all my bills.
Adultwork tends to be either like a feast or a famine & nothing in- between & TTM tends to make up that middle ground.
You can charge up to $2 a min for webchats now & they're also bringing back an updated version of the Skype plugin. I like that they're always working at trying to improve the site, but it can be quite glitchy at times ;)

Hi guys,
Been on and off AW the past couple of years. I started on MFC, but struggled with keeping things going and decided I didn't want my feeds left online after (my shows were pirated etc) movef to AW because it felt more anon and the pay was good and loved it. THEN they did all their new % too the point where I stopped.
Anyway I'm back and finding it v all or nothing, a great week two weeks ago where I made 700 in two days and then nothing since then.
What sites do you partner with AW? I really love the paid chat and the fact that most guys are from the UK , as it seems to be a smaller market and less competition with MFC type models ?

It's taking forever to logon again. I wonder if it's because there are loads more online with it coming up to Christmas? It's just spinning & spinning. It's not my computer because everything else is loading just fine. It's just AW.
@keystpheaven I just work on AW & TTM at the moments, but I think a lot quite like Steamate to split cam AW with. They only pay 35% though & you have to do the free chat on SM. BabeStation is another that some split with. I doubt it's very busy though because the BS thread on here isn't very active. It rarely gets a mention, but it might be worth a try.

I just had a look at TTM and they want you to work for .20c a min for the first month. That's $12 an hr, far below minimum wage here. Do y'all know if there is a way around that? Maybe they do a special promotion or something?

They insist on that now I think Victoria. It's a certain amount of minutes on the chatline that you have to complete before they allow new talkers to have a full profile.
It's to prevent people from clogging up the main site with abandoned profiles or those who just want to try and sell content & not actually take any calls.
It does vary though the chat line price - you can earn a little more if you logon at the right time, but once you've completed the required time/minutes you won't have to do the chatline again if you don't want too.
A lot like to use the chatlines alongside their regular lines to boost their earnings so it's an extra little stream of income for those who want it.
If you're already well established on another site somewhere, then it might be worth asking them if you can skip it & send them a link to your other sites - I think TTM also see the Chatline as training & if you can cope with that, then you're more likely to be more successful on the main sites.

Does anyone happen to know the link to page on AW where a member can tip either offline or online whist on direct cam?
They can tip within Just Cammit, but there's no way to receives tips off-line like most other sites - probably because it's mainly an escort site & maybe money laundering concerns.
Customers can send you an AW voucher that you can use to spend in the market place or buy daily featuring with - you just need to put your email on your profile though https://www.adultwork.com/Vouchers.asp-
