I wonder why sites like Streamate & the token sites don't offer a paid phone chat option as AW do? I bet it would be popular since they've already got tons of traffic.

Good question. It also seems like a good way to get new models, they'll start as phone, see they can make more on cam, move over...

Yes, that's what I thought Victoria. I'm sure there is one big box cam site that offers a phone chat option. It's mentioned on this site somewhere. Can anyone remember which site it is?
I don't think it's a hugely popular site - it's one people tend to use to split cam with.

Grr!
Semi rant. I have actually found AW to be better again; like they are bringing traffic in from somewhere?
I have experimented with dropping my group rate slightly (£2 pm, won't go lower and put it up again when I feel like it) but keeping my private high (£3.99) and I grudgingly have to admit it has brought more than one guy in for an acceptable amount of time. I am generally one of those who say if they like you, they will pay but my god I saw a guy I haven't seen for YEARS come into group again and it must have been that he was lurking around hoping I'd drop them down. How cheap! When you consider my group generally goes between 2.49 and 2.89 that really is pathetic! It annoyed me so much I think it showed though and he only stayed a few minutes in any case.:D lol oops!
Some of those group rates lately have looked more like IM rates though; I don't want a race to the bottom to happen on here..:-\

Hi ladies
Have a question if that is ok. Has anyone had any experience of playing two characters on aw? What I mean by this is marketing to two different niches on aw under the same account. What I want to do is when im in free chat Keep my profile and username targeted to my main niche which does well for me but then change my username and profile when I log out for the day to the other niche and centre around that. I know seems complicated but I want to test it out. So does AW have a limit on how often you can change your username, I know its easy to do etc. Anyone know? Thanks

I deleted my profile and started up a new one in October.
I set my rate at 1.49/2.49 when I started again and actually made money but it was far too low for me, so put them up to 1.99/2.99 and I really struggled to get any decent shows and make much money. Aside from the odd show, I just get 10 second peepers and people who stay in for maybe a minute or so at a push!
I've since put them up to 2.5/3.5 because if I'm going to make any money, I may aswell get as much as I can for the little work I get and I have exactly the same experience as above.
I'm sure this isn't an issue with me because my rates are higher on Babestation and I make a steady consistent income on there and on SM, my rates must be double that and my income is consistent and starting to steadily grow. I have regulars and get decent length shows on both.
I mean, maybe it could actually be an issue with me lol but as far as my opinion goes, I feel like the guys on there are quite cheap and want a lot for very little. I feel reluctant to lower my rates for the sake of making money on there too because I find the lower my rates are, the more they seem to expect/demand from me!
Arwen25
12-12-2019, 03:52 PM
You make a really good point about Babestation! Think I'm 2.99/4.50 on there and they pay it! I actually really like Babestation and feel it could almost be my main site sometimes.
In any case I agree with you that there just seems to be an air of cheapness about the AW guys and I refuse to be in a situation where I rely on one site so they can get stuffed if they think that group rate is going down any lower. I also perform really well when I am being remunerated correctly so they end up loving it and coming back for more regardless of price.
One thing I did notice the other day though, on the 2/3.99 is that a couple of guys who checked me out in group did end up coming private as soon as I ended the show. I did £120, largely on group that morning and barely flashed a nipple. I did a lot of teasing and dirty talk, and had a sub guy tip throughout, while I teased the others, so that definitely left me feeling happier about the rate I wasn't sure about..In any case, group hustle is something I've always struggled with, I'm very much a one to one sort of girl, but I thought I'd share my experience of that and how I've been trying to work on the group show hustle. x

Yeah I charge £2.99/£3.99 and they happily pay it! They're all nice and respectful too, I've never had an issue with the guys on there as far as I can recall!
I don't make enough for it to be my main site, (I don't promote on Twitter etc yet though!) but I do always make a steady, reliable and consistent income and come to think of it, I think it is actually my second most profitable site.
So would you recommend from your experience to maybe drop the group rate slightly and try and hustle them into private? I think I'll try that, drop my group rate, increase my private slightly and see if I can catch them that way and tease them into private instead.
Do you use free chat or positioning aswell? I use freeview occasionally but I hate AW free chat that much that if I do manage to stay in it long enough to get a show, once I've done the show I come straight off freeview and back into waiting for paid shows. That one show is basically saying to me, 'that's enough freeview for you today now Jenna' lol!

They are nicer overall, aren't they! I think I've maybe had one dodge bloke on there so far? And even he wasn't that bad.
I may have slightly overstated it being my main site but I'd hate to lose it! I think I just have to accept multiple streams of income an d get out of the mind set of having a "main" one, otherwise I just get disappointed!
I play around with my rates all the time. I put it down that day (it was a few days ago) to just see what happened and it did work that day, as things went my way and I controlled the room well with a lot of teasing and suggestiveness rather than nudity lol. It was very early morning though as well so I was probably more visible.
I'd have to experiment with it more though to say whether or not it works for me. I suppose you could almost treat it as a way to coax them in to private, teasing slowly an making a big thing about them having to share you and blah blah. That worked for me that day, and made me a decent amount there without much effort on my part. It's worth a go, anyway if you want to work on your group hustle! I've always been so shit at it so I think I got a bit of a buzz at pulling it off for a change!
I always bid something to try and stay on the top half of the first page and free chat..sporadically. I don't know about you but I find the AW freeloaders loathsome on a whole new level. I put free on sometimes when I'm on SM but the AW guys drain me so much faster and sometimes I have to come off. They just don't shut up! Question after question with the odd nasty comment!:D So I don't really do much free. I'll turn it on sometimes for exposure at different times of day so people who may not have seen me before can have a look. But yeah, I mean it's honestly a couple of times a week if that! x

My CPU has been in going into the red a lot just using just cammit on AW this week for some reason. I won't ever be able to split cam unless I move house because I only get an upload of between 4 - 5.
I've been playing with my cam rates recently & I tried 2.75 & 2.95 the other night & not even a peep. I changed it to 1/3.5 & I had quite a lot of traffic in grp at this rate. I made quite a decent amount in about 45 mins. The guys were actually okay & not one of them asked to see any nudity. I had two guys wanting me to wear shoes & rest were just contenting to just watch me chatting in my lingerie. I even put one's cam on, so I had him sat quietly wanking in the corner whilst I did my shoe shows.
Last night I started it at 2/2.5 & I found it quite slow. I had a guy in group who then went pvt and that was it, so I changed to 1/4 & I was busy. for the first time in ages, I had several people in my grp & when it got to about 4 or 5 I flashed boobs. I didn't even show face & they were all pretty respectful again - it's like they just know at that lower rate they're not going to get much. I had a pvt and then I logged off after about 2 1/2 hour.
I'm going to keep it at that rate because I like to keep busy - I can't sit around waiting - I get bored easily & I hate free chat in cam so last night was good & I made the sort of money I expect to be making. It seems there's a lot of guys on there and they just don't have lots to spend. they might just have a few credits, but they're happy just seeing you & they don't even expect that much.

This is more of an annoyance than anything but does anyone know how to block someone on JCI without them being in the room? Every so often I have someone who must literally press to come in and leave immediately, beeping to enter and then cancelling. Drives me nuts and either they have an issue or they are being an idiot but I want to stop them doing it. Sometimes it happens repeatedly and it's REALLY annoying!

It is really annoying when they do that...you can only block them from cam when they are in the room. It's also easy to block the wrong person as the selection moves when another person comes in.

The only thing that's worrying me a little about Brexit is what effect it might have on the Euro & if I'll still be able to receive my SEPA payments from my other site. A few people I've asked reckon we'll still be able to get paid via SEPA , but if the Euro crashes? Because I don't it's doing all that well at the moment. Just have to wait and see I guess.

We will still be able to receive SEPA payments after leaving the EU, I checked this. Whether the Euro crashes is a longer term issue as things remain the same for a while after officially leaving. For anyone interested in astrology, Jan 2020 sees the start of another financial crisis...which even economists have said is on the cards.

Logged into free chat and sat there like a lemon for 3 hours. My placement on AW Live was between 2 cocks - one with a full body shot and one close-up. I changed my photos, added a movie, edited text. Nothing changed the placement.
Aside from that, I had just 11 visitors in those three hours - and that was in FREE CHAT.
I'm sad cos AW was my first and fave site, but I just haven't been able to make it work for me at all the last 2 or 3 years. I'm lucky to hit payout once a month!

Likewise!! I really struggle on here now. If I can find a decent replacement I’d probably consider scrapping it altogether. I’m sure I’d make considerably more if my rate was lower but I don’t want to lower it for the sake of cowtowing to cheap people.
Since I deleted my account and restarted it, I’ve barely even been able to get any regulars either, aside from maybe a couple of guys I’ve seen 2-3 times. I don’t have this problem anywhere else. It’s hopeless.

You won't get more customers if you are cheaper, this is a very common misconception that has been discussed at length here. You'll get the same amount of customers (potentially less due to 'quality perception ') but simply make less. Lower prices (under £3 ish pvt) also attract more demanding, lower quality customers. It's the fastest way to burnout.

It's the fastest way to burnout.
I 100% completely agree with what you're saying.
On every other site I've worked on, I've found that when I've increased my rates, nearly all the same people who paid for me at the lower rate, keep paying for me at the higher rate and I seemingly have no issue gaining new business and regular business. My earnings definitely increase.
AW is the only site though where it's very apparent that the more my rates have increased, the quieter I've got. I tested this out on my old account by lowering my rates back to £1.49 - £2.49 and my earnings immediately shot right up and I got much longer shows. I didn't keep them that low though as like you say, it encourages burnout and more demanding customers. When I raised them, they went back down.
When I restarted my account, I did the same and had no problem making £100+ on that site alone in a day, I've put them back up to what they were before and now I'm happy if I make £30 in a day.
The only thing consistent with AW and my other sites is that when my rates are higher, I do get nicer and less demanding customers. That's it though.
I don't know why this is because I don't have this problem on any other site I've consistently worked from.

You can make much more than 100 a day on aw. You need only ONE customer at £4 for 25 mins for this. Guys on aw also have the option of going to chaturbate to see girls for free, or live jasmin to see them exeedingly cheap. If they are on aw they have money to spend x

Of course and I don't dispute they've got money to spend, I've easily cleared above £400-500+ a day several times on AW alone before, but that's when my rates were lower. I don't know why, but in my experience, I struggle to get enough business to have a decent day, when my rates higher on this site. And when they go down, my earnings go up. A fair amount of my regulars started to drop off when my rates went up too. When my rates went down, I had shows with people who hadn't seen for ages.
I mean, it could be something I'm doing wrong, but I can't think what because I have the total opposite experience on all my other sites.

My experience of changing rates is that my regulars don't come with me...I just have different ones in different charge rates. My rates are set according to the customers and shows that I prefer. Someone told me when I first started that it doesn't matter what you charge, you will always earn around the same amount, and that seems to be true for me. Whenever I change my rate or time, there is an initial pick up but then it levels out again.
