Hun I've been camming on AW for 5 years full time, this is the first time I have ever had this experience. All sites will have issues from time to time, it's the nature of the internet.

Enough with the fear mongering and AW hatred ladies. If you hate it there feel free to go elsewhere. AW is it's own odd little pain in the ass animal, but for me running my own cam business the way they allow us to is worth it. I love AW, and have never had a problem with finances with them. Until someone officially has there check returned or a payment that's 2 weeks late... just chill please. Of course we are going to have hiccups after the attack recently. I've been there over a year now, and this is the first time something like this has ever happened. They have never missed a payment, and when my check is a few days late it is due to the international post and not AW.

Forgive me for being a bit stern ladies, but I have become very protective of AW because it has been very good to me...even though I'm a Yank. ;) And, after the bombing in my beloved Boston a mere hour ago, sh*t like this is really soooooooooooooo not important.

Perhaps this can be a wake up call that you should never keep all your eggs in one basket. Count your blessings and find a 2nd source of income today...kudos to GeeGee for doing that.

Thank you Missy. I went to college just a few blocks from the bombing site, so that area has really special memories for me, and so many people I love live there still. It was a really wonderful time in my life, so it just feels like a stab in the heart. I have been really emotional about it. My ex (the one that got away) is a Boston Firefighter and I had a panic attack until I got him on his cell. He was at the site when I called and ok, so I have calmed down a bit. I actually professed my love for him...well not so dramatically, lol, but I think he could hear in my voice how relieved I was to hear his voice.

I know how you feel. My daughter worked in London when we had the London Bombings, she was in the same area that was affected, of course they blocked all cell phones for security and I couldn't get hold of her for most of the day, but when she called me later I cried with relief. Every time a bomb goes of somewhere in the world it takes me back to that day and how I felt for most of it.

AW is always on the ball with things. I think they are just trying to make things fair for everyone and I respect that. On AW you have to play by the rules or you can't play at all!

I'm trying to change some things on my AW profile, and one of the things it says is that I am in the U.K. I'm not in the U.K...I'm in the U.S.A. When I select U.S.A., it's making me select my state, county, and town. WTF? I am NOT comfortable with giving that much information about my location on my profile, and I won't. The most I am willing to say publicly is that I'm in Maryland/USA...that's it.

I'd have to lie about my county and town then, since I'm not willing to have either of those things made public on a cam site. Wow, that's ridiculous it won't just let me put U.S.A. SMH. I guess I'll just put down Baltimore, Maryland since that's the part of MD everyone's heard of...lol.

Thanks for responding, by the way.

I put in United States, and I leave the county and town part blank. When I click Save, I get this message telling me I'm not entitled to change the region that was originally given. So it sounds like the site admin or whoever is gonna have to change me from UK to US themselves (I've already sent an e-mail), or I'll just have to deal with being listed under the wrong region.

Can I ask how exactly AW works? Is it just a site where (example: cam girl) you put down your schedule and skype info and essentially advertise there or can you actually cam *through* the site?

Classy_Katy
04-20-2013, 09:12 AM
You can do both...there are many options on Adultwork. You can do pre-booked cam on Skype or Yahoo (MSN is defunct), DirectCam using the Justcamit software from the site, DirectChat or pre-booked phone chat, sell stuff, erotica - written and spoken, private gallery photos, movies, rental movies, SMS text chat, write blogs. Not sure if I'm missing something but there is so much you can do there.

Isn't their SMS text chat still down? I ordered international texting for that reason alone and set it up only to read that they haven't been able to use the SMS side in a few years. I was paying $10 a month for it too so I then shut it off.

It happens automatically if you are absent for a while. It means that dormant profiles don't show up in searches. You just need to retick it here http://www.adultwork.com/RegistrationDetails.asp and then you may or may not be asked to reverify.

I've been having trouble with movie clips, maybe someone can help me. I upload like a 13 minute movie clip. And I want to set the price for 4 credits. Everytime I go to upload a new movie, all of my movie clips get auto changed by the system. so the 13 minute clip I set for 4 credits the other day, has now been auto-changed to like 7.35 credits. How can I keep it from doing that?

You can't, unless you can make the file smaller

It's more effort on their part to host a larger file, so they'll automatically charge more.

You have to edit the file so it's smaller (save it as a jpeg or something) and you can set the price as you wish.

The movies are aimed at the quick wank market and generally people price them (and size them) so that they are under 3 credits. Rentals are high quality movies and start at 3 credits...hence why the movies, which are pay per view for 15 minutes, are meant to be smaller and cheaper.

I have got some larger film movies but I will usually save them to WMV 320x240 (email size) or MP4 320x214 (mobile size)

You'll see a lot of clips around the 1 credit mark, may be terrible quality to get them that small, but people buy on the basis of the cheapness and it only being for 15 minutes.

I do sell expensive ones Missy but under 3 credits is a good rule of thumb though as otherwise you're trying to compete with rentals. There are girls who sell loads at really small sizes and at around 1 credit. It's worth experimenting...Adultwork don't mind you deleting the old clips and re-adding them in a new size, I did check with them first as I deleted my email size ones, uploaded them in a smaller size but I didn't like the quality and wasn't selling more of them at the 1 credit mark, so I put them back on at their original size and 2-3 credits.

No I dont particularly care for a competitor hanging out in my chat room. If it was under a name that wasnt obviously a camgirl, then that may be different. I had two today. The first one said hello and how I was doing. I said great and I suppose I pulled a weird face like WTF? She left the room. I sent her a polite email asking to do me a favor and stay out of myfree chat. And if she had any questions just shoot me an email or follow me on twitter. Ten mins later I get another one telling all the guys to come check her out. It was very unreal! I was so busy being shocked that I forgot I could block her. WOW Just WOW

As far as I know any/every cam/adult site will want your real details, they need to be sure you are who you say you are and that you are over the legal age to be offering this kind of work, these are legal requirements. Having said all that you do not need to worry as those sites also have privacy policies n place so your real details are never made public or made available to anyone. AW is a great site and I have never had an issue with any of my details being leaked. The fact that you do not have to offer free chat is a bonus as then only paying clients will be able to see you and you can make all photo's annon, i.e keep your face out of them ;)

I have had it happen once or twice, if I'm quick enough I ban, if not I make a note of the name, check out the profile then report them for spamming. It is against the site rules to paste urls etc in freechat as well as in email so if it happens again take a screen shot and report it.
