Soooooo.... I'm still naive and the whatnot, and don't know what a lot of things in the sexual field are, So rather then ask you guys what scat was... I decided to google it. I WAS eating my dinner.... Lets just say the rest of my dinner is sitting in the kitchen and probably wont be eaten. I should have asked here so someone could have told me "You don't want to know" lmao

Solicitation, from an arrest stand point, is what prostitution is. That is what the official charge is listed on any Hookers jacket who gets arrested in her work time duties and trust me there are many places to sell pussy so they are not all road side arrest.
Pimps get changed with R.I.C.O and madams promotion of solicitation and when they are really out to get you they slap on tax avoidance .
I don't understand what you've written. I've had the info from a CID officer who is, obviously, very well versed in UK law.

Hey all. Just wondering how things are on aw atm? I was camming on aw and sm last year, took a bit of time off as it was getting a bit slow and I needed money less.
Am thinking about getting back in to but I don't want to be sat about half naked doing nothing like it was getting to the point of a lot last year, or loads of free chat :( Any advice? Is it worth it?

I don't think anything has changed Summer and if anything, more girls have joined. I'm seeing more pages of girls online during the day this year, than I've ever seen. But having been away for a while, it may be worth trying again...you don't really know until then :)

Like Classy Katy said there are more girls online. I find aw is kind of similar to how it's always been for me tho: a bit of a waiting game that requires patience, like fishing ;). If I put in the hours and try to be semi-consistent then regs appear and I pick up new ones, if I get bored/tired/distracted and don't bother logging in then business and regulars decline and it can take weeks to build back up. <<<I should tape this to my forehead as somehow I never learn!!

Hi Girls! Does anyone know if AW requires fresh ID to be uploaded when your old ID expires? I'm back again after a 9 month break, and my ID (passport) expired last month. I have some commission ready to be sent next week and I don't want any delays. I had a problem with 2 other website I work on, and they blocked my account until I sent in new ID scans.
Cheers!

I would carry on as normal until they contact you. My passport expired years ago and they have never contacted me about it, but I also used my UK driving licence at the same time and that doesn't expire for many years yet, so might be why they haven't contacted me. If they do require you to reverify and you are in the US, you will only be able to use an indate passport so might be worth getting that renewed just in case.

I can't log into JustCamIt. Anyone else? It just keeps instantly saying "cannot connect to server" when I click to connect I'm all plugged in and haven't changed anything since I last cammed (last night), what could be the problem?

Could there be something amiss with your computer? I've been streaming on JCI for the past 7 hours without any problems.
My first suggestion would be uninstalling and then reinstalling JCI. Make sure you restart the computer after uninstalling. Remember to write down your log in credentials to use when you reinstall. They are available on the site, but mighty hard to find (as everything is on AW LOL).
I've always found JCI to be very reliable - a very impressive encoder and so easy to use.
Good luck!

Good luck with that. It's quite common on Windows computers to have conflicts which can damage or interfere with other software. Let us know how you go.
I have a dedicated work computer which I use for nothing else but streaming. I do 5 sites at once, so I cannot afford any computer glitches.

LOL. I keep away from it after work, but it is my fastest computer too. The problem is that when you start downloading and installing software, and picking up malware and other junk, eventually your fast computer starts slowing down. If it stays dedicated, I can work it for years and years and never have trouble.

I have a dedicated work computer too. Actually it's really important to me because I always work them really hard and then have to upgrade every 18 months or so. Using other software etc on it would just shorten the lifespan. My c2c problem seemed to just be a blip yesterday. It's working fine today.

It is extremely slow for me too. I'm streaming to 5 sites at once and they are all slow. I've been back for just over 2 weeks and this is the slowest night so far - by a big margin.

Do you offer free chat or free preview? I've disabled them and have not noticed any difference in business. It is hard to determine what works better because business is so up and down for me on AW that it's hard to determine what effect changes are making. I recently put my prices up to 1.49/2.49.

I can't bear being asked to "stand for us" babe. Can we "see your ass"? It just never fails to baffle me how people seem to think it'll work..I have been tipped ONCE in over a year on AW and that was when I was allready in private lol. Some days it is more trying than others but I too, have noticed a lot of whingers and beggars laterly!

I do free with some periods of non-free...it does work best for me. The non-free periods are mostly for my own sanity but I do get guys who were watching me in free previously.
I never do free chat on AW and can always make my £200 goal. But of course, one day I can make that goal in an hour, other days it might take 6 hours.
It doesn't really bother me, I use a massive dining table as desk and have my cam laptop on one side and when I'm not in a chat I pop on to the chair to the right and do some painting, drawing, reading, or some obsessive Pinteresting.
Since I changed my mindset from "I must work and get my goal" to "This is ME time, and I will paint/read/whatever and will take on chats inbetween" time always flies.

06-26-2015, 07:39 AM
"obsessive pinteresting" oh yes. i know this.
i have had loads of tips since starting full time in march, none this month though. Ive started copying and pasting a little blurb into free chat, it makes it look like its an automatic thing when people enter and those who are not stupid enough to as for ass bb dont seem to mind. it says something like "i do blah in group blah in pvt, today i have these toys, 2 credit tip 'to see ass bb'
Oh, am I the only one getting this actually..
When I want to cash out to my UK bank account on the payout option thingy it will say for example £1200 will be transfered on xxx date.
Then when I click on pending payouts it won't be £1200, it will be a few tenners less.
Last week it said £1600 will be transfered on xxx and there is 1521 on pending.
I don't understand why this happens every week, it is not the service fees.

06-26-2015, 09:04 AM
I do that in free chat too.
I never used to turn on free chat, but now if it's quiet (which to me is 1hour+ with no paying customers) I'll turn it on for a bit to stave off boredom. I have a copy and paste (similar to auto messages on streamate) of "You need to tip to see that!". I have a post-it icon on my desk of other things I'll copy and paste like "If this is your second time in free chat tonight, I'm gonna ignore you until I'm paid"
Then after 20 minutes I hate them all and I turn free chat off.

06-26-2015, 09:15 AM
Really good advice Beauvoir - thanks! (As you already know) I am in the process of getting started on SM so I can make an escape from the studio I work for. They expect us to offer free chat so as you can imagine, this kind of advice is a life saver - ha! I love AW though and despite it's flaws I am looking forward to being back on it as an independent cam girl - without a silly user name and keeping a lot more of what I make; just waiting for approval by Payoneer and I can stream on sm with guaranteed payment..thanks for your help on that as well, you really gave me the push I needed.x

is it the negative balance adjustment thing?

is it the negative balance adjustment thing?
This is a big mystery to me too and has been discussed on here before. It cannot be the 5% JCI fee as that is taken out after every private to arrive at a current balance. The 30% AW commission is taken out when you make a transfer. I'd like to revisit this mystery too in the hope of finding out what it is.
kortneykay
06-27-2015, 01:54 PM
^^Same here, you always have to take off a few $$ to cash out and it's super annoying. I forget AW's reasoning for it but I wish they'd fix it. I suppose those extra pounds can be used for advertisement.

I think I've finally figured it out! Hallelujah!
First, read this help article:
"Negative balance messages - further clarification required"
http://www.adultwork.com/dlgKBArticle.asp?TargetURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eadul twork%2Ecom%2FdlgFAQPages%2Easp%3FPageName%3DCredi tsTransferRequest%252Easp&ArticleID=597
For girls such as myself, who don't spend credits on anything (positioning etc), the negative balance IS created by the 5% JCI fee which must be deducted when a credit transfer is processed.
In the credit statement list the 5% fee is shown as being deducted to give a running current balance, but in the transfer list the whole individual session amounts are displayed without any correction for the 5% JCI fee. We need to deduct a certain number of whole session amounts to cover this fee when we request a transfer.
So why do they show the 5% JCI fee as being deducted in the running current balance - I suppose it is so we can know what we have earned in a session.
I hope this explanation makes some sense LOL

Make sure they have paid the right amount for the show if you offer skype bookings, I've heard quite a few stories of girls being scammed by guys changing the amount designated for the skype show - if you see its paid for, but don't check the amount.

Hello ladies!
Just starting out on AW this week. I don't see many Canadian ladies online so I hope my exotic allure will help me stand out haha.
Today it's been rather slow but I found out I do get more show requests when I'm not in free chat I think. All the free chatters seem to be time wasters. Going to try to cam for a few more hours today.
I prefer doing fetish work so I've put myself in the dom category, but is there more money in vanilla shows on AW? I'll go wherever the money is :)

Skype has a little timer on it which shows how long the call has lasted for, just like on a phone. Usually when their time is running out I'll say "90 seconds until the show is over - please let me know if you want to book time" and if they don't then I shut the show down when it's over :)
Guys can change the amount, but I change it to the real amount and if they change it again then I accept and perform for the amount of time that they have actually paid for. Or I block them, depends on my mood. Be vigilant!
janeuk
07-03-2015, 10:21 AM
Another thing with skype shows - and a very common thing to do - is have a minimum block of time some one can book a show for, (example 10 minutes).
I hear you. But when you accept it does say you accepted x minutes for x credits. So if the guy is a dick he can get a refund from AW and you lose all credits from that show.
Classy_Katy
07-03-2015, 01:16 PM
Always make sure he confirms the booking after you accepted. Never give out your skype address, he will be shown it when he confirms. Always write to him on skype at the beginning and end of the show. Be prepared for his skype address shown on AW, not actually being his skype address...you can click on his name in the booking section and email him if you need to.
