I was about to ask actually, is the spring/summer period as lean as it is in the US? All my US sites are a nightmare in the summer, wondering if AW is the same?
For me it makes a difference because I only cam during the day...when the kids are home off school, a lot of guys can't watch cam girls.
Then you've got a lot of UK guys going away on holiday...most people here have a passport and holidays in Europe are relatively cheap. Our weather isn't usually worth staying home for.

I have never been annoyed with new girls joining or feel threatened by them, as if they are genuine and bring allot to the table and work hard then they deserve it and most just think it's a quick buck, realise it isn't then leave.
However the programme being shown in the middle of big brother with I assume most female viewers of a youngish age, well it's asking for it. This does annoy me because these girls come along in a big swarm for 2-4 weeks and us long term girls suffer financially because of it, only for majority of them to sod off a month later.
Webcamgirls hash tag was trending on twitter at the time the show was on and I was watching all the comments as they rolled in and so so so many girls we're considering joining.
Actually watching girls on twitter talk amongst there friends saying "Go on do it, it's such easy money" "OMG I can earn over £1000 a week just for pouring beans on myself for 5 minutes"
I feel like all my hard work, all the hours I do just gets put down to nothing.
EXACTLY this!
With sm and mfc it is not so bad as they advertise and tech problems are minimal. AW cannot support so many new girls. I really fear for the site and my livelihood there :(

Yeah I mean thankfully I'm not staying in this industry for much longer (perhaps 2 more months at the most) because it's time for me to move on after 4 years of doing this.
But if you're in this for a longer period or for life, relying on one site is dangerous, let alone that one site being AW. Every single cam site will be inconsistent at different times. One will fail for a period of time whilst another is booming. We can't all go around joining 5 different cam sites because we are spreading ourselves too thin and cannot physically build any customer base when spread that thin.
My advice to any cam girl wanting to be in this for years or build a career from it, is to form your own website and have an email client list along side your twitter. I would be on at least 2 cam sites, one with a huge following and one that isn't so busy but can have a good flow (i.e AW and SM/MFC) grab those customers from each site and let every single customer know about your website and about your twitter. Once they are on your twitter especially is important, because they will follow you wherever you go.
I would also have a clips for sale or kinkbomb kind of page set up with your clips because that is a steady but small income and most importantly more new customers, maybe along side these other site that give extra bits of money that don't host camming.
The purpose is to have 2 main cam sites so you can have steady secure money from both or either one at any given time, at least 2-3 othere non cam sites for extra pin money and every single customer from all of those sites onto your twitter.
But yeah Adultwork does not have a shelf life. Their marketing strategies are all so very wrong, I don't know who owns the business but they need to sort it out. They do not listen to the cam girls that work on the site, the ones who build their business, the ones you made them rich in the first place.
To me it looks like AW was set up for escorts being it's main purpose and added camming as an extra, and not expecting it to be popular. Now it's popular they seem lost, their strategy appears to be something along the lines of "Let's hope all the cam girls bring their own following onto AW and then we don't have to spend out to market this website".
In business that strategy will never work.

They repeated a documentary on Channel 5, and there's been another interview in a Sunday paper. I think. Unless I missed something else too?
Once they realise it takes much much much more than lying around & looking pretty to make even a three-figure sum (nevermind the six-figures quoted in recent media) most of the new girls will disappear.

The real problem is that they advertised the programme during Big Brother...the show with a massive audience of mainly girls (and shown when the world cup final was on so we don't even get the benefit of the guys seeing it).
Also, on Twitter the girls were going crazy over the idea of earning so much.

The thing that pisses me off with all these new 'wanna be's' are the number of them that 'pop' into my freechat to ask how to do this and how to do that etc etc. Most of us had to do the work ourselves, forums like this weren't really around. I have neither the time nor the inclination to spoon feed someone that is prob not going to stick at it anyway, especially when I am on cam trying to work. If that sounds harsh, tough, get your ass on cam, wait till you get a sulky tip dodger that can't get what he wants for free and starts throwing you insults! Thats harsh! lol

Anyone else having issues with webcam bookings? For the last 2 days several customers have tried booking me but it doesn't give me the option to accept the booking? I look over the request and the right amount of credits per time is there. But the issue is the status. It says Pending Waiting To Be Accepted. It's been a minute since I've had a legitimate booking. Usually they try to short me. But these guys have put the right amount and I seem to be missing something. It's past the appointment times and yet it still says pending. The only thing I am allowed to do is reject it and invite them to come now.

I agree with you! I think it's tacky as hell when models enter another model's room just to ask for camming advice while she's working.

I'm not 100% sure if he was trying to intentionally harm your computer, but that's what I gather from that message. Did you take a screenshot of what he said? I would've taken a screenshot and sent it to Model Support. I'm not even sure if they'd do anything about it, but just so they have a record of the conversation...just in case he does it to other models too.

People on Big Brother's facebook page are talking about Danielle being a webcam girl...I haven't watched last night's episode yet but she was outed in the programme.
Danielle is on Adultwork and was on the camgirls programme...which is why they were advertising it during Big Brother and showed it afterwards. Loads of people watched it, I haven't seen Adultwork mentioned on facebook yet, I don't know if they said which site on the programme, I'll be watching it this evening.

What "Image size" should I have the video set to in JustCamIt? Mine is set to 320x240. Is that the size that the customer will see or is it just the setting for my end? Should I have it set higher? I'm split camming with it so the size I have it on is the smoothest as far as my CPU goes, but I can make it larger if you think it's effecting my money?

Thanks for responding. I have a booking set for one hour from now. But that's with one very persistent guy. It seems the other two have given up. Originally I thought I was being scammed, because after years in this biz that's kinda how my mind works. Each guy had feedback but AW would not allow me to accept the show. It could be a system error, but I wonder if I overlooked anything? It's all in the details ya know? Crossing my fingers cuz I could use that money.

I think it is effecting the money as most girls are using a higher res.I did not use 320 in years.I used 800x600 and now 864x480.I split between sm and aw and it was a nightmare to use encoder and jci on a i5 at the same time until i changed my splitter.

I know,I used many cam and splitcam and with both cpu was going red,I changed to this
VISIT-X Video Splitter 8.5.0.1
Is a splitter that visit-x site offers but you can download it without having to work for them .Google it.I like it more than other splitters.And is free.Try it and let me know if it helped x I m happy with it as it also fixed my encoder resolutions problems for sm and cpu.
I was about to go for an i7 bcs it was driving me crazy that I could not cam aw sm both same time and this fixed the problem .

Why don't they let you upload a provisional for an ID? I mean it had everything else it need (pic, DOB, address, etc) only difference is the type of card. And this site is a bit confusing. In order to contact someone, where can I find an email to contact them for miscellaneous questions? All on their contact us page is some Xlendi/Malta location or something, other contact info for billing, other money issues and law enforcement stuff.

Many sites do not accept temporary ID`s.You can only contact them via help section on the site.

Yes it takes that long.
No you shouldn't make a new request - you won't get it any faster.
Also when ur money arrives at paxum, it'll take another week to transfer it from paxum to your bank.
If you want fast money sign up for the dailypay service that a lot of girls here use.
Then you will get your money everyday straight to your bank.

Looking at when she made her first transfer, she should have requested the next transfer by now as long as she has hit the minimum amount for transferring. As long as you hit the minimum you can and should request transfers every Monday.

Just keep in mind that the daily pay service you ladies are referring to is NOT KatyBoleyn's daily pay service. It is the daily pay service run by that guy Colin who, a while ago, threatened to post cam girls' personal info. Sorry to bring up stuff from the past, but I feel that this is information cam girls/prospective cam girls deserve to know. If you're comfortable with signing up for the daily pay service with this person, then I wish you the best of luck.

Hey,
If anyone wants an alternative to daily pay, the group I have setup with my business partner offers the same service. Daily payment paid the day after the money is earned for a fee of 5% (less than dailypay) with no minimum payout.
If anyone is interested then email me for details on how to join.

Just personal preference for some people. Different circumstances. People trying to pay for necessities, bills, lots of expenses. Everyone's situation is different. Just like how people with Clips4Sale studios would like to be paid more often than just once a month.

I just started watching big brother and noticed that the girl on the adult work cammodel's documentary is on there. I think her name is Danelle, she was the one who was prissy and a virgin. Anyway I just started watching it (on the 2nd episode now) and when she first came on she said she was a model and I'm thinking, wtf does this chick model, gloves? HAH. (Not her body, her face) Then I heard her mention she being a virgin and all and I realized she's the one from the documentary. I guess some good things can come out of it, lol.

Yes, we were talking about that a few posts back...they were advertising the webcam programme during Big Brother, so AW has had a LOT of publicity (of they realise it was AW). It was also when the World Cup Final was on, so not so many guys would have been watching.
