Its a businessn bank account you can open in any random name and it looks like your business is being paid and not you personally.

Oh right lol. Sorry I can't help with that one as I get paid directly into my personal account, I would think that you would still have to prove that you own the account though. As Katy says AW will only accept valid passports as ID.

I've had an account on AW for over a year, but I'm just now trying to seriously start using it. I have a couple of questions. I have been trying to edit my Registration Details to say that I offer SMS and webcam, and I've had them send & replied to the verification codes sent to my phone three times now over the past five days. I'm still not listed as verified. I sent a support ticket in two days ago and haven't heard anything. Is this abnormal? Also, I've uploaded five new clips (two days ago) and they are not showing up under my movies. Grr...

Any advice (esp. on the mobile verification issue) is super appreciated.

Any advice (esp. on the mobile verification issue) is super appreciated. Have you checked that your mobile supplier allows 18+ numbers? If they don't or have a restriction you will need to ask them to lift the restriction. Phone companies are usually ok with that and they won't ask any questions ;). Also check the help section on AW, I'm sure there is at least one phone company that AW will not accept.

Tipping on AW - how does it work? I went back on cam tonight after a few months break and some guy fake tipped me -the usual '*tip credits: 5*' clearly typed out message, I remember such bullshit from mfc, so was totally on that, but it made me think what actually happens when you get tipped in free chat on AW? I double checked my credit statement at the time and it showed nothing, so I called his bluff on that one. Is there a noise? Is there a highlighted text like mfc? Does it show in credits statement right away?

They changed my model name for me on AW, but the weird thing is that I didn't get an e-mail informing me about the name change. I tried to log in one day using my old name, and when it said the login details were incorrect, I tried using the new name I requested, and it worked. :) Still, it would've been cool if they let me know they changed it for me, so I didn't have to sit there doing a bunch of login attempts with the old name.

Now if I could just get them to change my country to USA like it's supposed to be.

According to customers, it shows that I am in the UK too. A regular customer told me it normally shows me as in the US, but that just recently it started showing that I'm in the UK. Weird. I need to look into that tonight, as I had some very disappointed Brits today.

When you get tipped, you'll know it...there will be a system message and a sound (I think, it's been a while), and it will show in your statement straight away. The guys don't see what we see, so they make something up. Basically, if it has their name in front of it, the idiot just typed it.

This is tricky. Since mine is setup Im not able to go back to see how to set it up. I think when you first get registered on that page you can set up sms. When you go to put in your number, there is a secondary page that it works on. Its very weird.

Thanks pottymouth. I'm still struggling with it. Actually, I can't even figure out a way to email AW Help at this point. I've only got a link to Daily Pay, and they responded, but I don't want to join Daily Pay. Gah....

Hold off on Daily Pay. Not sure where you are located. That can make the difference. And also how often you need to get paid. But a link I found to support is http://www.adultwork.com/FF.asp?FFID=55 and you can follow them on twitter. Send them a tweet for a followback. Once they follow you send them a dm if you have a question. I have had good luck with this. Im sure its annoying for them but, oh well. You gotta get the info

Does anyone else have a problem with sound? People can hear me in free chat, but when going pvt they can't hear me any more, I'm losing so many shows over this issue cus they are too shy or whatever to call me and it's really starting to do my head in!

You contact AW through the ticket system...click on the "help" tab and then search for the problem.

Also, the first post in this thread from the Adultwork Forum tells you how to contact them - http://adultworkforum.com/forum/thread-1917.html

My question(s) would be:

1. Will my verification photo be visible to customers? It says something in my profile information about verification photo being visible/not visible.
2. If people don't mind saying, how long did it take to start getting clients? It seems like a lot to fill out and mess with if it's not going to be a good payout.

I love the idea of videos and photos and making appointments for cam instead of sitting there. I'm pretty kinky, so I don't think I'll have a problem getting business. So if I upload say some good quality vids, a few photo sets and make myself available what can I expect my first few weeks to be like? Approx how much money is the average on AW. Right now for my yearly average on SM even though some weeks are more than others, for the past year I averaged 600 per week putting in about 8-15 hours per week. Is Adultwork that easy or is it something for extra money on the side??

I know all experiences are different, and I'm going to try. I just wanted to know a realistic expectation.

Classy_Katy
05-18-2013, 12:49 PM
1. You can choose to have your verification photo visible or hidden. Guys can search for girls based on whether someone their photo is showing or not...it's not a biggie.
2. The first day you go on directcam you should have shows...most likely if you do free preview being new.

How profitable girls find Adultwork varies hugely. Also, pre-booked cam is much slower than directcam.

So, I've found the form in the Help Center (thank you Katy), and have contacted AW regarding my phone issue and getting verified so that I can offer webcam work, and we seem to be going in circles. My mobile carrier says that there is no age restriction or any sort of block on my account, so I should be able to send texts (the AW verification texts) to anyone I want, but AW is saying that they aren't getting them. Sigh...I am wondering if I should try using a friend's phone to verify. Contacted the help centre two days ago, hopefully I'll hear from them soon. It's weird that they won't just verify me, as I had been verified for years under an old phone number.

05-19-2013, 12:45 AM
You're welcome SC, I know some mobile phone companies in the UK are easier to be verified with than others. For some reason 3 mobile is a pain in ass with saying the block is removed but girls still have trouble, with Vodaphone though girls have no problems.

If they weren't monitoring it how would they know they had reason to enter? thing is i have this 1 customer who likes to roleplay. but im so good at roleplaying that we often have conversations from start to finish entirely of that roleplay. it is in text-chat only no cam and it's about things that are illegal on webcam. i dont want AW to think my roleplay is serious when its all made up entirely and i would never do what he likes me to pretend i do lol.

I was just wondering what all the AW views on DirectIM are and what you should be charging for it as a rate. When I was new girl of course I got a lot of bites but now that it is slower and farther between bite-wise it's got me thinking about what my rates should be.

Also, I usually just offer private one-on-one. Is group DirectIM worth it? I'd think it would get confusing or do guys get off circle jerking in text? :O

TeenageAnnie
05-28-2013, 08:46 AM
the only people who join my direct IM are customers who've bought multiple webcam sessions. I dont get random people bothering with my directIM. I only log on it when i cant get on webcam and i charge 0.70 for group and 0.80 for private. they usually stay on for 30mins to 1hour, but like i said these r ppl who are proper fans of mine otherwise they wouldnt bother.

I just realized that on AW when you bid for placement and dont offer free chat you get placed behind those who dont bid but DO offer free chat. Currently this is the only chat site I work because I like the option of not having to do free chat. Or how I can limit the amount of time. But this pisses me off.

Sometimes guys just search for girls under various criteria and see who is available. There are so many ways they can find us.

Edit: in searches, the girls who paid for daily featuring show first and the hourly positioned ones are mixed with the rest.

I mostly have IM only customers and I just offer private chat, at 1 credit a minute. I know most girls have their webcam regulars chat with them but that isn't the case for me, I have IM regulars...although I haven't been on there that much this year. I will have new guys drop in sometimes too. I find doing free chat in DirectIM helps.

Yep, not sure why. Maybe something to do with it being half term hols this week? Kids of school, people on holiday? Anyway I managed to convert a custy from another site I work on, he's a big spender but I thought dam if I get him on AW I'll get to keep a much bigger slice ;)

Hey all!

I have been a member of adultwork for almost a year and the other week they asked me to verify! That is, supply an ID and photo of myself holding a piece of paper stating my id. Im a UK citizen and resident, why would I need to do this, and why after all this time of working for them.

Missymissdemeanour
06-02-2013, 04:20 PM
It's complicated bb but I'll try ;) Ok think of them as scheduled group shows. Decide what you are gonna do and when, you need to do this well in advance, maybe a week or so and make sure you let your regs and everyone else know you are doing one and when. You have to book a slot I think then give yourself time before hand to prepare, yourself and your camming space, make sure you have everything you need to hand and ready, then you need to log in to offer group shows only, at the alloted time you start your show, don't wait for guys to come in, if I remember rightly you have to accept the first one just as normal group shows, hopefully other guys will follow. I think you are able to change your group price before hand and that is what the guys pay. Now I am saying all this from memory, I tried them twice eons ago lol they didn't really work for me so I didn't bother again, like everything else with this gig, what works for one might not work for another. I say give it go, try a couple of times, play around with it. You never know they might be good for you! I supopse they are a bit like GS's but not as immediate and the guys are paying your per min rate so if they only stay for a couple of mins they only pay for a couple of mins. Good luck hunni!

Verification is a relatively new thing, I think it's only been a year or two, but I could be wrong. At first it was voluntary but there was talk of making it mandatory so it could be that they are now wanting all those that didn't verify before to get verified. The reason might be that I don't think escorts have to verify? If I'm wrong I'm sure some one will correct me on that, but if you started as an escort but have now decided to go into camming then that could be the reason they are asking you now? The verification is to ensure that you are who you say you are and that you are over 18, you can choose not to allow the public to see your verificaton photo if you wish.
