You should do £2.50+ for private. As a new girl you are in a great position to go higher too like £3.50. Forget the cheapos, guys like quality on AW x

I'm not sure how to set-up DirectCam Settings. Which option do I choose if I don't want to be in free chat? How about if I don't want to do group sessions, but just one-on-one privates? Also, what does "I wish to provide typed text-chat only, (called DirectIM), with no audio sent from my PC or shown to clients" mean? What are some good starting rates? I see that many models charge very low on AW.

To do paid only, untick the box next to "I will cam & chat for free (clothed, to entice viewers to enter a paid-for mode.)"

If you don't want to do group, untick the box next to "I offer group cam & chat for a reduced rate of..."

DirectIM is instant message with no video, so you are just chatting. It's much slower than cam and people charge less but some guys do like to do instant message.

Many models charge low rates because they are in groups that set the prices for them. I'd follow Susie's advice on that.

I've had quite a few requests for sexting lately along with queries about custom vids. So if you're not offering these ladies it'd be a good time to start :)

Thanks for the tip susie. Do you offer text through AW or sell your number like I;ve seen lots of girls do as a chat feature.

beauvoir

You text through AW. You are allowed to respond once to every text you receive, and you are paid 0.5 credits for every text you send.

I know Beauvoir, I was just wondering if you used the AW chat or just sold your number. :)

I've tried AW text in the past but it didn't really bring in much. But I keep getting guys asking if I sell my number, so was wondering if that was maybe more populair. :)

I know I get their number, but I never text them directly. I do texting a lot (and only do directchat, not pre-paid) and never had anyone get my number.

Maybe a question for AW directly?

Does AW not accept DL from US models? I got an email saying I have to upload another form of ID such as a passport or ID card. I don't have any of these. Also, my verification photo was not approved when I submitted the photo exactly in the way they ask. Looks like not worth the hassle to continue with this site.

You need a passport. They will not take you with just an id no exceptions.

I went out and bought a Twirl chocolate bar for this exact reason. Whenever they say "can you give me a twirl bb" I just show them the wrapper }:D The guys mostly think it's funny, plus I get to stay sat the fuck down and annoy the cheapos!!

Hello ladies,

I've used Adultwork as my sole site for a couple of years now..I love it and when I put in the hours I do well but sometimes it's so so so slow that I am tempted to try another site.
Do any of you use just Adultwork or do most of you use it together with another site?
I love it and the other site intimidate me..as stupid as it might sound!

Not stupid at all, everyone has their go to site that they feel comfortable with. AW is my main site but I have worked on on others over the years too and currently splitting my time between that and MFC.

Arwen25
05-20-2015, 01:28 PM
Thanks for saying that; for someone who makes a living doing what I do I have no place being shy really, haha! :)
It's something to do with the American sites, and I know in MFC models do a lot in free chat. I was thinking of giving Streamate ago, not sure the less busy sites would be worth it.
How do you get on with MFC, SexieSusue? x x

sexysusie
05-20-2015, 05:46 PM
i love it but this is my second time around. I started there at the same time as aw almost 5 years ago and hated it. I had no clue! You need a lot of experience on other sites first i would say, see what you're good at, what your usp's are, your boundaries, get to know the type of customers that like you, and how to sell yourself. Less busy sites can definitely be worth it - less girls = more of the money that's there for YOU. however, do your research before signing up - i always google "stripperweb + site name" and see if it's been mentioned on here or any of the other adult related forums. If not i don't bother. Too many shady, fly by night sites, and affiliate pimps around to be giving your ID and time out willy nilly.

Arwen25
05-21-2015, 04:19 AM
Thanks for getting back to me on that Susie, I am going to take a bit longer to think before signing up to another site.
Ideally I would like to stay with AW cause I really do love it..sometimes it does my head in though. x x

How do you disable pre-booked phone chat? I looked as I have had issues but couldn't see how to do it. xx


I don't offer pre-booked phone chat because I've seen people have problems with this and I don't see why they can't just use directchat. Also, I used to use my home phone for directchat, so I didn't offer skype with phone either. I do have a work phone that I use for private webcam shows and I've never had a problem with guys being a nuisance thankfully, and I turn my phone off when I'm not using it.

It's my details, edit profile, phone chat - http://www.adultwork.com/EditProfile.asp?T=PC&GE=0&SelUserID=1231523

Just click to disable it.

I decided early on that it would be more trouble than it's worth...they can use directchat just fine.

Quick question do any of your girls lower your prices if you are having a quiet day? Been quiet for me and wondering if I should drop my prices a little? A friend of mine has gone down to 0.99 for grp. I'm not sure I really want to put mine down to that but is it worth reducing them? Or does it look desperate?

Arwen25
05-21-2015, 10:16 AM
Hi KinkyBitch,

I've personally never done it but then I've always kept my prices fairly moderate.
Maybe if yours are a bit higher though might be worth it.
From my time on AW it just seems that when it's quiet, it's quiet. Then it'll suddenly become amazing again just as you're about to throw in the towel haha.
Do you offer free chat at all? Maybe you could try that otherwise.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! and yes it does look desperate.
RAISE em when it's quiet - you'll attract a different crowd AND you'll make more money off fewer people ;)

It does look desperate, I notice when girls do so I expect the guys notice it too.

A couple of years ago I dropped my group rate really low and I had my best month for ages...it was great being busy all the time and having 5 or 6 guys in at a time and shows lasting 20 minutes, which encourages more guys to enter. But it only lasted a month. You really don't want to have only one guy in your room at a rock bottom price.

After that I hiked my prices much higher. This time I was busier with privates and again I had a great month, but only one. Then it went back to normal again. You get different guys in different price brackets...bargain basement guys do not generally make the best customers.

A friend of mine who has been in the business for many years told me that it doesn't matter what you charge, it will always come back to around the same amount for you, and in my case that has proven right. It's just a question of how busy I want to be, and given that I'm only on for 3-4 hours at a shitty time of day, I have to be keenly priced and I prefer to be busy. That said, I can have slow days and busy days regardless of how much I charge...I'm either flavour of the day or I'm not.

Kinkybitch
05-22-2015, 02:04 AM
I'm glad I didn't drop them yesterday, I didn't make hardly anything but I refused to do it. My friend said once dropping her prices it picked up for her and she made a lot more but the thought of working for so little just pisses me right off. I've seen a few girls do it and go as low as 0.89 credits when they were originally 1.99. Yesterday was definitely the worst day I've had.

I fully expect this weekend to be grim. Bank holidays are pretty bad for me to start with, but not only is this the end of the month, there's also all Eurovision and football and god only knows what else.

I'm actually raising my rates up 0.5 creds, to make a few extra pennies from the guys who do turn up.

Kinkybitch

05-22-2015, 03:00 AM
Dropping prices only works for a short while, and then customers don't see why they should pay more when they'd paid for less.

AW seems to having tech problems again...
