Oh well.my earnings now and my earnings last year talk...minus 60%.Thats why I tend to believe that the feedback might not be really useful for some of us ,though it is 100% positive .Just thinking. Can be soooo many things,can be me,can be the traffic,can be my regs who died and I was not invited to their funerals.

I charge a high rate on AW and the most I earn in an hour is £60 (My average is £40-£50 an hour).
I do actually have one guy who will go private with me for an hour and just chat, however I didn't meet him on AW I met him on MFC and he followed me to AW.
(We used to do true pvts on MFC for an hour)

I don't think at AW especially the guys favor new girls, I don't think how much feedback you have matters either. It's about luck on the day. Some days I go on and earn £10 and other days I go on and earn £200 in 2 hours work.

I also don't think it's a sweeping statement. I do well but it was undoubtedly easier when I first started. I know plenty of girls who have 1000+ feedback and kill it online.

I cant even make 200 a week now.My rates are not high.I know it has technical issues,I know is the word cup but sooo dead,never been .Few months back I was complaining that it was dead.Nope,was just slow.Now is dead.I can`t do free chat anymore there,I hate all those entering and barking orders and then eventually tell me to fuck off for not showing what they want.I guess I ll keep it on grp/pvt just in case my regs are still alive.

Deffo don't go in freechat. I was earning nothing when I had free chat preview. I only ever go group/pvt (I have no patience and would hate this job if I ever had to deal with a freeloader again lol)

I've noticed allot of girls saying about technical issues but I haven't noticed this at my end. World cup makes a big difference and summertime too.
Maybe it's worth you trying another site, AW is where I started and I ditched it for a good year and a half and went to MFC which was great for 6 months and then went downhill for a bit so I come back to AW.

Sometimes its about finding a site that works well for you or switching between two

I work another site,is ok there but aw was my main site for so long I just wish I knew why things turned that bad all of a sudden for me .I agree about free chat,I always use it and yeah made me hate not the job but the sites with mandatory free chat so I never registered with one of those until recently.I do better on the other site and I love that guys actually do tip for what they want to see.Things like that on aw are not going to happen ,guys feel entitled when they enter a chat room and bark orders.I will take a break from aw and concentrate on the other site.

scarletl
07-06-2014, 03:59 PM
Yeah that's what I done. I ditched AW for a while, went to MFC and cashed in loads, MFC went downhill for me so I went back to AW and the moment AW goes downhill for me I will return back to MFC. I just go wherever the money is.

Does anyone know if the Adultwork wishlist is safer and more reliable than Amazon Wishlist? I've heard about the kerfuffle with Amazon Wishlists leaking the name/address and I'd rather not risk it.

The issue with the name and address leaking is due to items on your wishlist from other sellers on Amazon. What I do is I only put items on my wishlist that are sold and dispatched by Amazon, that way my address or name does not get out. Plus my amazon is in my cam girl name.

apryll11
07-06-2014, 06:59 PM
Ah, well I heard that if the buyer adds anything to the basket that is from a third party seller (even if it's not in your wishlist), it can show the name/address of the person they're buying for.
But you can disable them from being able to add stuff to your basket

I could be wrong but it seems like adult workers are extremely popular in the UK right now? With all the different documentaries and articles I've come across recently. Do you ladies think all the attention is due to the new porn restrictions and internet service providers and now people are more fascinated by it all?

I agree...there has been allot of limelight recently on cam girls. I think these programmer producers are aware that the British viewers are quite prudish and they use these programs as a scheme to "rub in peoples faces" or like a way to "show off" about how these cam girls are earning £1000 an hour by doing nothing. It gets peoples attention and gets people talking and not necessarily in a good way either.
Uk national newspapers on the other hand are desperate for some "news" and they make anything into news. Why don't the publish a top earning lawyer who's earning probably more than some of us? Because it's not taboo and it doesn't enrage people.
The fact that we can earn up to £100 an hour or more, whilst being in the comfort of our own home does enrage people.

Only a stupid dumb arse cam girl would go public saying she earns £££££ an hour for doing nothing. The girls do it A to get the ££ for the article which is barely anything and let's face it if she was earning that much money she wouldn't be interested in a few hundred £ for an article, she would continue to focus on earning her money on AW.
Secondly they do it because it promotes them, well they think it promotes them and in hope that they will land them self a glamour model deal or "get their foot in the door" in which it won't.
And they are far too stupid to realize that this yet again puts a bad reputation on cam girls and gives people an excuse to think we are all lazy whores who show our body for money because we can't be bothered to go and get a "proper job" which is so far from the truth it's unreal. And gives lazy girls the idea that they can make top dollar for doing nothing.

This does not concern me actually, because those who come into this for the hope that they will make bank without having to do shit, will have a nasty shock coming to them and quit once the dust settles in.

I want to see a cam girl documentary or article about how being a cam girl isn't about being lazy and just getting your kit off. It's about how liberating it is and empowering and that's the reason we stick at it. The reality of the earnings and the struggles and the long arse hustle we go through every week.
A cam girl who is a business woman and treats her camming as a business that she cares for and nurtures.

I'm not sure it's to do with the restrictions as by and far these have been largely covered up over here. Not many people have a clue about what was happening with sopa, pipa etc over in the US and its knock on effects in the UK.

I think it's just the case that one documentary has created a snowball effect. Until recently camming in the uk was relatively unknown. In the US you have tv adverts for Sm and their pop ups are on virtually every adult related website, so it's just in your face all the time. Over here it isn't (or hasn't) been like that. We are currently facing the highest levels of unemployment seen for a long time, coupled with mass movement of our native industries overseas, and huge graduate unemployment. And yes, i think the somewhat 'prudish' nature that we are known for has been eroded away. The current 'tween' generation is underemployed, under educated, and under disciplined. their highest ambition is to appear on shows like "ex on the beach" and to to be like Katie price. 'Glamour modelling' to them can include everything from showing your breasts, to full on porn. The boundaries are slipping away.

Things on SM have been slow for me, thinking about giving AW a shot...are there any countries that they don't hire from? I'm currently living between two due to work, but am going to be in one for the next six months so I need to know if I can still work on AW or not

sexysusie
07-08-2014, 04:58 AM
I think they still hire from anywhere. If you're in the Philippines though or other high risk (for fraud and trafficking), the verification procedure is much stricter. You not only need a passport, but a newspaper from where you say you're living, with the date on that you apply.

^ Nope. That's a complete chancer. Tell him to fuck off. If he'd been doing that job for 8 years, he'd have a professional website or studio he can direct you to and he wouldn't need to approach models with a customer account on Adultwork. And he wouldn't be asking for your Skype ID or trying to ~entice~ you with the possibility of being a sugarbaby.

AW has a lot of guys offering to give advice, be your partner, do you favours, recruit you for something-or-other, or give their professional services ... all to try and get their hands on your content or have you chat to them for free. Send 'em packing.

Even if we did require the services of a photographer/cameraman/accountant/gardener/astronaut, we'd google someone local & trusted rather than wait for a message from some dude who copy-pastes hundreds of sex workers for attention. ;)

I have another question about AW. I haven't signed on yet, but am planning to. As a new model, is it advisable to do free chat, just so that you can get regs etc? Or not?

I must say I LOVE the idea that you don't have to do free if you don't want to.

Love your profile pic, RedAlice. :)
About free chat..I really don't know what the answer is there. I know people have a lot of mixed results and some people don't do any better using it. I never HAVEN'T used it and I've ended up talking to quite a few people who end up being pretty regular - happened today for example. One guy looked like he was just going to lurk in free chat, was starting to get on my nerves, then he ended up coming into private for 30 minutes lol! I know there are time limits for people so maybe you could set those lower or something. I wonder if they get a warning when they're running out of free minutes, ha!

Classy_Katy
07-10-2014, 07:42 AM
I find that free preview works better for me...and I cope by being on my laptop while I cam from my partner's so I don't have my energy zapped by constantly engaging with them. An alternative is starting with 30 minutes free and then going to paid only, it's a great option to have.

They don't get any warning that their minutes are up, and when you're on the other side the time goes really fast.

SimoneGray
07-10-2014, 07:54 AM

I know honey but you will get burn out fast.Been there done that.Had unlimited free chat,had 15 mins.Now I wouldnt keep free chat on for more than 5 mins.I`d get those who want to chat for free like we are on messenger,I`d get those wanting to get off without paying,those who will pay dont need more than 3 mins to make up their minds about buying a show.Is good to do a bit of free chat in my opinion but don`t do too much.

Why 15?! Really, they don't need very long to know if they want to go into paid with you. Most of us have it set to the minimum 5 minutes. They can always email you if 5 minutes wasn't long enough to ask you questions before a paid show.

why would anyone do freechat on AW? the whole point of AW is that u can turn freechat off. i've been doing really well on AW for about a year now. the freechat lurkers are never gonna pay, they just scouting out girlfriend material or fantasing over hiring u as an escort. and they ask u questions in freechat - that if u were to turn freechat off, they would enter paid to ask u. stuff like "do u meet?" "where in london r u?". i make over 15 quid per day off people joining paid chat for 30 seconds just to ask me random shit like that, and i would lose that money if i did freechat.

I use to think that way to but one day I decided to do free chat and see if their was any difference but not just for an hour or two but my entire shift and for me its the difference of 80 in private mode and 500 in free chat. On times when it like 700 girls and Im on the end of the 2nd page/top of 3rd, true my traffic isnt as good but if only 10 guys total come in my room I can get a private with 9 of them. I don't blame anyone for not doing freechat because it is super annoying but their not all lurkers some guys aren't ballin like that and they want to make sure before they spend their money or they have fetishes like race play, period play, incest and their questions are more valid.
Then again if I was changing like 70p I wouldn't even try freechat
