I'm defo not ashamed to say I have had to work hard for my targets this month! I'm always so glad I work so much over christmas. I have just checked out my earnings this jan vs last jan and they pretty much the same. However i do have one more income stream this year. I think the older I get camming wise the harder this work feels!

I've never seen someone every single day so early on cam like you. Like a clock. I could'nt do that. I'm impressed by your strict daily routine.
But I'm 20 years older. And I can tell you, it get's harder the older you get. A few years ago it was no problem for me to do some nightshifts. I can't do them anymore, only 1 messes my whole week up.

So, Mark Hassell (Sales & Marketing) from AW is leaving to go into a new venture. From the questions he's been asking on his Twitter, sounds like it will be cam & content based. Possibly a new site being built?

twitter.com/mark_hassell

I don't know what this means for AW, in terms of losing Mark, as I'm not really sure what the AW Sales & Marketing team actually did...apart from tweeting out the members of the day and a few occasional "on cam now" bursts?

Hopefully, things should get better now when the guys start getting the tax refunds. I've not been online myself much this month & when I have it's been pretty quiet on AW.

If Escorting ever became illegal then I reckon AW would sink like a lead balloon.

I like the early shift, too. I'll sometimes split it by going on early, logging off for the gym and then a few more hours. Although the risk there is that I don't get back on again - ha! These days I find getting up early easier than staying up late. The issue is, if I oversleep a couple of days I find it really hard to get back in to it. x

I actually really like being OS for this. UK morning is my night and vise versa (sp?) So I'll do my other work in the mornijng then switch the lines on in the evening. Unless it's a day like today and I'm not doing my other work no so switched my lines on in the morning my time.

It's definitely not dead, there's a ton of models in paid. But THAT is the issue as with the new site it's getting impossible to be seen. I was on for 12 hours yesterday and only made money after half the models had gone. Luckily i work other sites and indie but yeah aw is now down to only about a quarter of my income now.

I would regard that as pretty normal. A dead day would be losing money through paying more in positioning than credits earned.

I never thought I would say this but my camming days are coming to an end. I don't think I have ever had such a tough time mentally with it at the minute. I don't work as many hours as I live with someone now so kinda limits what I can make. It has been good but literally this year my mental well being is taking a battering. I get told daily I look like a tranny or a she male. Someone today said that and said my mum and dad must have done some weird shit to have me. This was in free chat. I'm proper shocked at what people are like and how they talk to you. I should have a new job by the end of the year but fucking hell its gonna be long if i'm spending hours on webcam making fuck all until then.

Its so said I've always been a "webcam forever" girl but I don't even want to log on tomorrow and I honestly never ever wanted to be that girl who hates logging on.
Sorry for the rant this is the only place where people can relate.

Really do hope you are all having a better time than me. There is always money out there I know that just harder and harder to make xxxx

I do really think it's a case of being on as much as possible, I'm on 2 streaming sites (tho I dont use AW now as I cant split stream anymore), 6 indie sites, and 4 clip sites - its often so dead on a lot of sites that being on all of these is super important for my income personally, maybe look into sites to join?

That is so awful, I'm sorry you are dealing with that. I've always found the worst 'customers' in free chat. Do you need to do free chat? It seems like that's what's getting you down although you have a lot more experience than I do so I'm sure you've thought about that already!

Hi all.
Long time lurker but thought I would join, I'm fairly active on the private AW forum thread but like to come and look on here to see how everyone is getting on.
I felt compelled to say hello, mostly because I've noticed lately some talk of camming impacting mental health negatively. I am currently in the later stages of humanistic therapeutic training and, whilst I am not yet fully qualified to ethically counsel anyone I hope to specifically work with adult workers in all our varieties when I become accredited.
I have been in the industry for two decades myself and had many periods of complete distress, so have great empathy for anyone having a tough time with it. I can also offer some suggestions on places to go to get reduced rate counselling if you are struggling financially.
I also appreciate this might seem a bit odd as an introductory message and I could be any random person, but just really felt for these recent messages I read and became aware there isn't alot of support there for us when time gets tough. Glad everyone is having an honest conversation about the realities of this work, for better and worse.

Thanks for letting me join and hello everyone :)

I feel like I am being more proactive with free chat on and generally have been making more money. I feel like i'm not maxisming my earning potential if its not on. I didnt do it for years tho so who knows !

I get that. I never did it for ages then when I did, I felt I did better. But after a while it seemed to drop off, longer periods between paid chat, fewer even in free so I took it off. It was almost as if when I started free, there were a ton of customers I'd never seen before (mostly freeloaders sadly but some new good ones) then after a few weeks they dwindled. I wonder whether free works better if done intermittently. I didn't have as much rudeness as you've had but still was blocking a good few each day which I very rarely do in paid.

I guess you have to balance the potential extra money with the mental stress. Which is worth more to you? If it's making you want to jack it in then there's really only one answer unless you want a complete change anyway, don't let the idiots decide that for you.

By the end of the year I won't have to webcam full time so I think coz I know its coming its making it harder. Knowing I have some time off next week helps. In an annoying position where I need to earn well to pay for some stuff.

Huh. I'm still looking at that 0.34 that I've made since last week. My profile hits aren't going up much either. It's like I am almost invisible. The only bit of attention I had was a guy who wanted to do Skype and pay by PayPal, then decided he would do Directcam "once my delivery has arrived" because I refused both Skype and PayPal, and 6 hours later he was still sending me messages asking if I was ready and could we get naked and talk about stuff. Of course, no cam session materialised.

Same for me on AW. I have it on all the time that I'm on SM. Shows are occasional... Plenty of guys in free chat normally, with compliments/insults/asking to meet but no money!

All of the big box sites seem to be affected at the moment, there are just way, way more women webcamming now. Weirdly I've been having more sales of indie kik texting and cock ratings lately. AW has been as quiet as a mouse apart from the random odd guy that will happily spend £4.99.min when i put my rate up while i concentrate my focus elsewhere. They're like buses! It is definitely not just AW though, i have given up on SM and NF currently is taking about $15 bidding to make 100.

@MLK I don't have you on skype anymore or i would have messaged you to say hello and have a chat. I hope you're doing ok.


@Blonde I private messaged you, but you obviously weren't interested so i dunno what more can be said..

Yeah, I've found the same, Susie. Made all my money on Indiebill yesterday! What's going on? lol. Used to do that as back up but guys seem more inclined to pay independently now. Not exactly a bad thing but interesting, nonetheless. I think one thing with camming nowadays is, you need to have time available. I suppose it's always been like this to an extent but I've not failed to make very good money when I've had the hours available, if that makes sense. Obviously harder if you have children or don't like to work when your partner is home.

@Louise I am truly sorry to hear about what's been happening. They do love picking on the beautiful ones; I've seem it happen to a lot of girls.

Afternoon ladies. I appreciate having this place as a sounding board. I've been a cunt a lot and made comments about stuff on here ( years ago now) and I have to apologise for that. I know i've rubbed people up the wrong way. I'm much older and wiser and less about twitter and stuff now days so like to think of myself as better person! I think settling down does that to you!
I was proper having a melt down on thursday I just sat down and cried. I did 9 hours and made 90 credits. Its been killing me my partner having to pick up the slack at home which I work as many hours I can in the time frame I have. I love working i'm a proper grafter but its hard putting in the hours with no reward.
Tuesday to thursday was a gradual decline in credits and an increase in idiots being rude. Its defo been one of the hardest weeks of my time on webcam. It really does get harder as you get older.
In more positive news after 90 credits yesterday I've done over 500 today. Was lucky with a regular who I whatsapped to check in on and he popped in but even with out him its been good.
Webcam is defo getting harder the hard days seems just harder than ever.
I do find it madness that I have always been like I wanna cam forever! to how I am now.

I have just finished and i've made more today than I did in 4 long days. I wish it relaxed me a but it doesn't.
I think if i was single i would happily still cam but I feel now I am getting married and that I just can't be arsed as much and when its tough I hate it being miserable at home.

Me too, today was actually great! I never work holidays or special occasions but i needed some extra cash and thought fuck it why not :)

I hope you're not planning to quit just because you're getting married? Congrats by the way!!!

I know as of march I'll be working my ass off to make a few months worth of expenses and then i am gonna focus on clips mainly. There are guys paying 100+ just for 10 mins of a top clip model's time.... I've got my eye on that prize! Camming sucks when you HAVE to do it x

Personally no i don't think positioning is worth it atm, not over £1.50 anyway. I used to happily pay £3 knowing it would get me on around line 5 just after the group show models. Now £3 gets the 8th - 10th line if lucky. Better off doing free chat for a short while every hour, or alternating positioning for an hour with free the next.

Indie means independent so instead of working 'big box' sites like aw, streamate etc where your % fee goes towards them bringing traffic to you (haha what a joke!), you use sites who take a much lower % but are just basically a payment processor - YOU find the customers and a way to converse with them (generally skype).

You might well be fine...they like new blood on AW. I always pay for positioning but not much, just so that I can keep on the first page.

Hi guys, not been on here in a while! Just wanted to ask...

Has AW been deader than dead for anyone else in the last 3/4 weeks?? I have been putting in a ridiculous amount of hours, and have actually been making less than minimum wage!!! Seriously starting to worry...

Anyone else found it dead, or is it just me??

I'd earn more cleaning toilets! And at least if I was cleaning toilets there would be no dickheads telling me I seem desperate!!

I admire anyone who’s got the patience for AW free chat. I can deal with Streamate free chat but I can’t hack AW free chat for more than about 10mins at a time.

It’s been slow for me for a while but I’ve noticed it being generally a bit quieter across the board this month. Don’t forget it’s half term in the U.K. too! I’ve been on AW a year and Babestation is the same, they both go super quiet around half term.

AW was hopping last night for me! I did notice slightly less models online. I also made an eeensy bitty change to my rates to make them whole numbers instead of .99 at the end, and tweaked my directcam bio line to show the year i started (Implying quality). Hoping later today is similarly good :)
