That's what I've been doing with him feeding him short answers so I'm still engaging but not as in depth as I would if he was paying. Some of them seem to think they can just message and have a natter as and when they feel like it!

Getting so pissed off there's a guy who pays well for Skype shows but he expects me to engage in chat with him even when he doesn't want a show. Constantly messaging me about what he wants to do! Starting to get right on my tits! Don't want to block him though because he pays well!
I've started asking these guys to tip me £30/hr for a text skype chat. Only one has actually taken me up on it, but it reminds them my time has value.

Tell him you are just going into a skype show then set your online status to busy for 20 mins or more, tell him how great the show was blah blah blah after another 10/20 mins repeat. One of two things will then happen. 1/ he'll think 'wow she's so busy I better book a show now' or b/ he'll think 'wow she's busy I better leave her to get on.' That's what I call a win win

As regards the typing vs talking thing I have never turned on my audio in free and have yet to work Streamate but audio seems to be the way to go on that site..I have thought about turning it on but I think in some ways I might find it more exhausting than typing so will probably keep it off..at least with typing if I need a few second breather I can lean away for a moment, haha.
I was only online 3 hours yesterday, was busy but it was VERY dildo heavy - ouch.

How long does the new girl status last with AdultWork?

As has been said a thousand times on this thread, there is no new girl status on AW. Guys know you're a new girl as you have low feedback scores.

See I feel bad and worry he might not come back. If he didn't pay so well then I wouldn't care. I usually end up signing out of Skype because he goes on. I'm going to be a lot tougher now!

I usually only sign into skype when I have a show...on the rare times I'm online and not busy, I have my "do not disturb" status on. Do you have to be on skype all the time?
Kinkybitch

I keep it open as I have a few who don't pay through adultwork they prefer to transfer the money over. It's the only reason I keep it open.

If AW catch you doing that you will get banned. Do not bite the hand that feeds.

Rather than keep Skype open all the time, give them an email address to contact you when they want to have a show. Email is less chatty than skype and will cut out the ones who want to talk because you're online.
Also, if you use "do not disturb" in skype, they can still message but it doesn't bleed and you can just ignore them.
I report guys on AW if they ask to pay me through another means. It's not about how they prefer to pay, AW offers many options for buying credits and they have no excuse.

If you already have people on your Skype list then aw can't stop you accepting whatever payment you want surely? As long as you are not meeting people through aw and telling them your Skype and doing it that way?

I had a question concerning groups on AW, ladies..if this isn't the right place to post it I am sorry!
I have been part of a group for over a year now, (I know, I am silly for not leaving before), they take 20% and basically do bugger all. I am not roped into any kind of contract though and signed nothing, so would I be OK asking to leave and setting up on my own? I am dreading doing this, and don't really know how to go about it - silly as it sounds. The only issue is the credits I have already made (controlling my profile, they manage these and take their cut before putting it in my account). These come out weekly..should I just soldier on or wait until all credits have been paid to me? This would mean going on for another 5 weeks though, and is a bit of a catch 22 as it would mean I would have to stop working on order to not to risk losing credits..or should I risk asking to leave immediately and having all credits paid to me?
If anyone has been in a similar situation, I would really appreciate any. I liked the idea of being part of a group initially but they have done literally nothing since setting up my profile, it's incredibly easy to get stuck before you find supportive forums such as these, really annoyed with myself. :(

Hi Arwen, this is what it says on AW about leaving

"Group Profiles - Ownership Rights
Profiles belonging to a Group are the property of the Group Manager. If members employ persons to set up and/ or allow others to access to their profiles, we will not become involved with any financial arrangements they may have had with that person(s).
Should a Group Member wish to leave a Group they must get the Group Mangager's consent. The Group Manager must contact us to request the removal of a profile from the Group. If consent is not given by the Group Manager, then the Group Member profile may (at the request of the Group Member) be deactivated from further advertisement (with the exception of those Group Managers in possession of a signed model disclaimer for digital content, in which case the profile may remain in a content only format).
In all cases the credit balance of the Group Member remains the property of the Group Manager."

Thanks for taking the time to copy that down for me, Classy Katy.
How silly I have been..so if I leave immediately without waiting to be paid, I am basically at the mercy of the group manager.
They *seem* like reasonable people, but then I haven't asked to leave yet. As there is no contract then, and if they refuse to close it then, I contact AW on setting up a new profile the old one would be registered as content only?
Thanks again x x

You're welcome Arwen, it is a real pain and happens to many, so you're not alone. I've never left a group myself but someone else may come along to add more info.

I am trying to sign up for aw and it is a lot different than ANY other sight I've ever signed up for...lol. I am in the usa and so do I have to show proof of residency?
Do they accept a picture of you holding your drivers license with your face in the picture or does the dl need to be scanned?
MessyChick
06-10-2015, 04:39 PM
passport only
have a read of this thread because that question gets asked a lot so there may be more info higher up

Thank you :) I thought I had seen that they only accepted passports but on the page where I am trying to get verified it says drivers license or passport so that's why I was confused. I will just scan my passport to be on the safe side!

Roughly 1025 credits. Like, really roughly
I used a calculator :)

That's assuming you use jci, would be slightly less credits if you did all Skype/a mix/sell clips etc xx

I loathe that..I am not sure why or how it happens but I found pressing ctl alt delete and clearing unnecessary data that is running often does the trick.
I also make sure I am out of all programmes running completely, spotify, skype all of that.
If that doesn't work I find it's usually my internet having a blip. x

You can offer pre-booked webcam through skype as well. If you go to the webcam set up page, you'll see the options. MSN doesn't exist anymore though and I never bothered with Yahoo. http://www.adultwork.com/EditProfile.asp?T=WC&GE=0&SelUserID=1231523

do the ctrl alt delete thing and open task manager, you can order the list by cpu % if you dont know what something is then google it before ending the process. Dont accidentally shut down your anti virus for example but if its a high % then maybe you need to find out why.
For me i get red FPS and CPU thingy if im over working my laptop, as the processing power gets diverted alsewhere and i only have an i3 processor
