Are you talking daily featuring for webcam? I tried it for a month and decided it wasn't worth it, it made no difference to my cam income and although it improved my movies income, it wasn't worth it. I do position hourly though. It's cheaper if you can feature at dead on midnight but I wasn't able to do it until around 5.30am.

SimoneGray

Pretty much hourly featuring since I work mostly at night and there are a lot of other girls on etc. Did that make a difference?

Classy_Katy
09-18-2014, 09:22 AM
That's called positioning rather than featuring, so it doesn't muddle up the two...I think it makes a difference but it's not one I've tested so I don't know for sure.

I actually find daily featuring a lot more useful than hourly positioning. I will position myself during certain hours, but not when there are a ton of girls on as there really is no point. When there are rows and rows of girls in group all you can hope for is that your regs come through and take you into paid. They do that whether you're positioned or not. The new guys flicking through the site will just go with a girl already in group if that's all they can see.

Daily featuring however I like as it increases my gallery and movie sales as Katy pointed out above. I can always get it at midnight and it pays for itself easily so no harm in doing it.

I've only been on the front page once and it wasn't worth it in that particular instance so I am loathe to try again. Though who knows, if you're feeling flush you could try it, and hopefully it will work out for you xx

Buying at midnight

I use the hourly featuring. But that can certainly add up to 10-20 credits each day. I also find some of those hours I don't log on.
May look into daily featuring, might be cheaper.

I do, but on some occasions it will be 1pm and I think ok I will work at 2pm so will go and feature myself and then something will come up where I can't log on for 2pm.
It's also damn annoying when you want to work at say 3pm and forget to feature yourself for that hour :s

I think Scarlet means be there before 12, if you turn up on 12 or just after it's already shooting up in price, you've got to be there by 12 ready for the frenzy to start.

I'm a newbie here and to AW, so forgive the numpty question!
I've made a clip to go in the rentals section, recorded in HD. It's a huge file so I reduced it in Windows Movie Maker. It uploaded but then I got an email saying there had been an error and to reduce the bit size. I'm not techy and haven't a clue how to reduce the bit size. I can make the video smaller but I wanted a good quality rental. Anyone know how I get the best quality rental on there without reducing it to cack?!
TIA

I'm so fucked off with adultwork.

I paid 3 credits to feature myself for the hour of 11pm-12am (there are nearly 600 girls online) I always feature myself for the hour I am about to cam and I am always on page 1 near the top (even with this amount of girls online)

and they fucking placed me on page 4!!!! (4 out of 6)
Surely 385 girls have not featured themselves with more than 3 credits for that hour.

How can I contact AW about this?

scarletl
09-22-2014, 03:15 PM
If I remember rightly it should be groups on the top rows of page 1, then paid feature girls and then free preview girls and then anyone who isnt in free and hasnt featured.

Currently on page 1 there are 5 top rows are groups and then the other 8 rows are girls waiting for group/private (paid feature)
then on page 2 and 3 is full of free preview girls
and then page 4 5 6 is girls waiting for group/private (unpaid featured girls)
Why they stuck me on page four? argh I hate AW so much

sexysusie
09-22-2014, 07:27 PM
scarleti did you check throughout the hour? I usually find my placement is not updated (nor do i even show up as being available) for about 10 minutes of every hour. Absolutely sucks that their system is so crappy, but the only time i have not showed up on the first page when paying for featuring is if I accidentally didn't confirm it or if there wasn't enough credits in my account to pay for it (i.e. you clicked but for whatever reason didn't actually pay) x

scarletl
09-23-2014, 02:16 AM
It was half 11 and I checked my placement.
When I saw I was on page 4 I checked that I did feature myself and I did.

Really strange.

This happens to me ALL the time.

When I feature my profile it only shows up on the "featured" tab.
When I go to the direct cam categories I usually show up on the last page or at the bottom of the page.

Other girls show up underneath the girls in group and then its freeview girls and then non-featured girls.
However, my profile never shows up on top of the freeview girls when I'm featured.

So I emailed AW and they said your profile shows up on the featured tab, featuring has nothing to do with the placement on the direct cam pages.

Very strange that other girls do manage to put their profile on top but we can't.

SexyAleks

Yes, because daily featuring and hourly positioning are 2 different options. You need the hourly positioning to show on top of the freeview girls in Online Now.

Classy_Katy
09-23-2014, 03:03 AM
When you do daily featuring you appear on the featured tab but it doesn't affect your positioning on the online now pages... hourly positioning does that.

When you pay for daily featuring, as well as being on the featured tab, you also appear first in searches.

Yeah it was hourly featuring. I never pay for daily featuring.

It always works fine for me. I pad to feature between the hour of 11pm-midnight

This has only ever happened to me once. When I pay for positioning I am always on the front page, usually in the top rows too, however on this one occassion I found myself on page 4! After refreshing and checking several times with nothing changing I hastily fired of an email to AW, they cam back with a generic response. Eventually I thought I would double check that I had paid for cam positioning, but no I had actually paid for direct chat positioning! Check you haven't done the same before getting in touch with AW lol :)

It's always like that now. Whether people get paid or not. Payday isn't yet though.

I was a very good earner on AW with allot of regs.

I work 3 cam sites (not at the same time)
So when I spare a few hours for AW each day and get nothing it's gutting.
Yesterday I cammed 3 hours on there and struggled to hit £10 in 3 hours! Way below minimum wage.

When is not football is vacation when is not vacation they have no money and so on.Imo most of aw guys had discovered the free shows sites.Just today I had 3 long term regs in my free chat mentioning they now spend their time on chaturbate and asking me if I ever cam there.Of course they did not take me private,why pay for cookie when you can have it for free somewhere else?
Beside guys not buying privates anymore or migrating to free sites aw was so discussed in documentaries and forums that too many girls joined and the competition is now bigger.I for one can not deal with this competition ,I dont do anythig special in my shows,I`m too vanilla for what everyone is offering there now.And honestly,I dont even want to compete.Aw was my first and only love but if this is what is going to be from now on,I ll just spend less and less time there.
I ve been doing 2 shifts on aw today and I earnt 0 or the first ,waiting to see how my second shift will end .So far is still 0.This is unacceptable.Waste of time ,waste of make up,waste of nervs.

ETA:I`ve never had only 7-10 guys per hour entering my free chat whenever I paid for positioning.But it is happening now.Sometimes I almost forget that Im logged in.So...not many hopes that it will pick up.

I'm the same as Katy and only cam irregularly so generally I am busy when I'm on.

I don't think the slowness is anything to do with guys going to free sites. It is very possible that many have switched sites due to all the downtime and technical issues on aw, but not because those other sites are free. Free chat sites and free porn have always been around. Aw guys have bought shows regardless because they like what we offer. They're not stupid, they know other sites are there x

09-23-2014, 02:02 PM
What works for one does not work for another sadly.I tried both ,cam very day and cam 2x a week .When camming 2x a week I was not even able to make enough for a transfer.I m talking about last few weeks here,since things on aw had changed.I wish I could make it just from getting online 2-3 days a week but looks like some of us would need to cam 24/7 to make it on aw right now.And no,Im not planning to do that,I rather give up on it lol.
Im sure most of them but not all know about all the sites out there,but now I just had that thrown in my face and was like why pay for u here when I can have everything for free there,coming from long time regs was annoying.I`ve had guys on aw who never heard about the other sites I was on and not even interested to switch and I liked that.Old times.

I still say AW has not been the same since the big DOS attack last year. I think thats when it lost a lot of custy's and now they need to advertise to attract new ones. Again AW was my first site, like Katy I couldn't believe how much money I was making in my first year or two just wish I had known more what I was doing lol
The guys are still there, the money is still there and I am still there lol Just gotta find a way to get all three together at the same time!

@seicento, I also cam two shifts a day, today I earnt 0 for 3 hours we'll see how tonight goes, just letting you know you are not alone :)

I have always and only ever have been a domme on AW. All my sub guys I found on there and it's where I direct all my sub guys.
I have over a 1000 followers on twitter that is on my domme account and they are all submissives.
I only cam on AW around 3-4 times a week for about 2-4 hours at a time (depending on how busy it is).

I can't tell whether this month is just a really bad month or whether the site is going downhill to a dead end. You wouldn't know until you have suffered at least 3 bad months IMO. August was a good month for me on AW, not amazing but a wage I was more than happy with.
The only reason I cam on AW is purely because I domme there and won't domme on my other sites.

I tweet out to my 1000 sub followers each time im on and not one single person will come through from there (they used to) but not now. This could be put down to lack of marketing, how expensive AW is, new competition, free sites or anything else.
I have just tweeted out to my guys actually asking them if they like AW or not or do they prefer other sites etc

But I for sure would not put all your eggs in one basket on AW
