Just a heads up for those who haven't seen it yet but SMS/TEXT is back up and running on AW!

Yeah, I had some concerns about how they wanted some fun girls to show how webcamming is 'empowering', and I'm assuming that for a lot people that's not necessarily the case...

Well said Pudding. I understand what you are saying. What the program WON'T mention to all these ladies is that it may feel empowering, and you may make cash, but that you might end up on a porn site, or it could affect your future if you are studying for a career where this will be frowned upon, or that those fun girls you see on cam aren't giving an accurate view of what really makes up the chunk of their shows. Just look at all the threads of girls asking over and over if anyone will find out.

Let's face it, many of us, especially after being in this business for a while, become softened to the reality of what the world at large thinks of women who do this kind of work. I know, I know...some of you don't care what people think, and I say bravo to you, but many of those empowered ladies will care when they realize camming is not some anonymous medium of easy "fun" cash with no repercussions. Not to mention in this economic climate, it will no doubt bring in people who are getting into it for the wrong reasons.

I had that issue. Its annoying. But I just put in google number as my home phone and it didnt need to be verifiied. But for the sms I had the issue with repeated text. It says in the text to respond with the code. But it wasnt until I verified it on a page on the actual site that it went through.

BlondebombGA
03-14-2013, 09:01 PM
Verify is for text, unless something has changed. I never had to verify. That's just how phone chat at AW is babe. It isn't as busy as camming.

Hey!

I don't do phone as I want to, but some of my regulars that I cam to cam with in private want to talk on the phone. I've thought of about giving them my work number (one or two already have it when they've booked a real life session with me), but is there a way I can arrange it so that I can get paid for them calling me, but only selected men at specific times?

xx

You can't be selective with directchat...although if I don't feature or position it's only regulars anyway, it's not that busy. But you can be selective with booked chat, it works the same way as booked webcam.

How can I view a customers profile? I had a guy keeps coming in and saying nothing. But then he stays for like 10 minutes (i literally just sit there clothed typing 'hello?' for ten minutes - why not) anyway hes done it 3 times now. the first time he actually came back and said he had technical dificultys and he did a short cam2cam show with me. but then days later he comes back and afk on me twice 2 days in a row. i wanted to view his feedback to see if hes genuinely having tech problems or if hes a complete weirdo. but i cant figure how 2 find his feedback, or send an email. lol????? if some1 knows how I can pm his username so they can find it for me? tnx

Even if you find their profile through client connections, you can only email them if they are offering services. Annoying isn't it, there's been times I'd wanted to contact people but it's impossible.

I just only figured out that you can kick people out when you are using JCI!

How slow am I? LOL

Vlodina
03-20-2013, 12:16 PM
Ooh yes. You can kick them for an hour, or permanently - which is around 5 years. Permanent used to mean only 30 days until really recently. Camgirls everywhere are overjoyed! :D

Girls, i've got a question if you can help me out! I've had so much trouble being approved at Aw and now that I am... I don't get A SINGLE visitor, not even freeloaders... No guest, nothing! I don't get it, am I doing something wrong or AW is a different kind of camsite? Once I've heard you get some kind of contact when the guy wants pvt straight ahead, is that true? It just sucks stare at a program doing nothing....

Classy_Katy
03-20-2013, 11:44 PM
Hi Ashley, I'm not sure what you mean about contact and private shows.

Are you offering free preview? We don't get loads of guys coming in, usually it's just a few at a time. When someone wants a group or private session you will be asked to accept it by clicking on the button that comes up and the system plays a sound.

AW can be incredibly quiet, how long were you on for and what time was it in the UK?

GeeGee
03-21-2013, 04:10 AM
Ashley have you made sure you have filled in the login information into the JCI software? SO you are connected to AW. x

Good point GeeGee...did the chat screen say that you were logged in Ashley?

AshleyRed
03-21-2013, 06:46 AM
Yeah Girls, I'm connected (I've had copy/paste at the end of this e-mail so you can see it).

I found out "pre-booked webcam" wasn't available... and free chat was available, but I did turn it off NOW. I don't know if it's the right thing to do, but anyway... free chat was available before. It was around 9am here in Brazil, I don't know what time it would be in UK but I guess it would be the middle of the night... :(

I have a really stupid question.

Are allow to put a movie up as BOTH a rental and for purchase?

I was just wondering if I could take one movie and do both?

Vlodina
03-21-2013, 11:28 AM
Oh my, I don't actually know, but I would presume not. Remember rentals need to be at least 15 min long and good quality (on the rental upload page it tells you the minimum requirements). The exact answer that you're needing might be somewhere but I don't know. I guess if you were to do both, AW would suspend one of them if they had a problem with it, as they have to approve all movies. What a lot of people do with rentals (I don't have any myself) is upload the full thing as a rental then put a much shorter "teaser" version into their movie clips, so hopefully if someone buys the short one they may be included to pay for the long one. xx

Classy_Katy
03-21-2013, 11:35 AM
Because of the quality requirements for rentals the size is very large, it would make it crazily expensive as a movie clip...assuming they allowed the same movie to be uploaded twice, which they don't in the movie section.

Thanks BBGA!

Sorry let me clarify I feel like I worded things wrong, I'm not trying to avoid taxes or anything, and I know I have to give my identification (I have a passport).

I want to sign up and get paid to my business bank account since I am an "employee" of my corporation, instead of my pay going directly to me. SM let's you do this, but I wasn't sure how to do it on AW.

Classy_Katy

They don't ask for any social security information.

This is the info about bank payments:
If you have a European bank account with a BIC and IBAN number you may request credits be paid directly in to your bank account. If your bank account is eligible then the required numbers will be printed on your bank statement.


For cheques:

Cheque/Check Transfer Request Form Worldwide
You may choose the currency in which the cheque will be denominated, which must be acceptable wherever you wish to cash the cheque (more info).

Charges may apply if cheques need to be cancelled.

Full Name of person to pay:
This must be the name in which the bank account you wish to pay into is held, the payee
Cheques are printed and posted weekly. Depending on your location, you should allow up to 10 working days from the date above for the cheque to arrive.

Example, the guy who is down for 28.95. He spent that much total on you, however you lose 1.45 of that to the JustCamIt fee. The JustCamIt fee is 5% of the total. You will then lose another 30% when you cash out.

The easiest way to figure out your earnings is here http://www.adultwork.com/CreditsTurnover.asp Figures are shown before any deductions.
Directcam: you lose 35% of that figure (30% AW, 5% JCI fee)
Directchat: you lose 0.15 credits per minute plus the 30%
Skype and phone bookings: you lose 30%
Movies, pics, rentals, sales, erotica, sms: you lose 30% (erotica doesn't show up in this table though, they only show up where you are http://www.adultwork.com/CreditsHistory.asp )

Oh at last! :o)

I've ticked that I offer sms/text but how on earth do I set a price etc? Also, on my profile I don't have and sms/text tab

EDIT: I think I've sorted it. It's a set price, isn't it? Doh!

Vlodina
03-22-2013, 06:44 AM
If you go to the help centre there's lots about how it works. If you have already ticked the SMS box then you also need make sure that you have settings right on Edit Profile, also that you are able to reply to shortcode SMS (ie, you don't have a capped contract and you have age restrictions lifted). You can't set the price, you get 0.50 per reply that you send.

You have not selected any movies to upload" I checked and the clip is in mp4, which is in their supported types. Do you have any idea what is the problem with that?

Classy_Katy
