That would really make sense I get constantly asked where I live and if I will meet. It must happen about four times a night at least. I know that streamate has issues but hopefully that MGF and the texting sites together will bring something in!
Yes and you will always be asked to meet because of it being an escort site.Some girls are playing the meeting card and do well because guys are desperate to fuck irl.It is against TOS to pretend offering services you dont actually offer,like escorting ,I dont know where meeting stands,if we can fantasize with the customer about meeting or not ,I personally dont do it because is better to be safe than sorry,but I KNOW it brings in more guys .

On text chat the deal is you say that you 'like the idea' of xyz as long as the word 'like' is used I don't pretend either it's a straight no.

This is what happens...girl starts on AW and makes some money, tells friends she's raking it in, friends join and earn money, friends worry why they're not raking it in, number of girls increases on AW, first girl is no longer regarded as new so customers drop off and wonders 1) why she isn't making as much anymore and 2) where all the new girls came from.
Nail on the head right there. Couldnt of said it better myself

I am new to aw .. but i signed up for it a while ago.. i am trying to get accepted for texting feature ( because that's all i can try to do now do to a baby in the house and soon a new born) but they keep saying i need to verify my phone number i have done this at least 20 times already..why is it that i may be having trouble is because of my us phone number? Which would be weird because i received the code but when i text it back.. i get nothing no confirmation and no change to my status on aw.. can any one help me with this if you have had the same experience?

Someone else will be able to help on the phone issue but have you thought of offering instant message? It works through the webcam option but you just select to do chat only without video. It's slow but my experience is that phone text chat is slower than that.

I will try that then because i am having so many issues with the phone and it is sad that is slow because i really was hoping to make money from just texting or even Instant messaging because of the noise factor in my house and between nap times with my babies.. but I really thank you for your help because your suggestion may be a better solution for me :-)

Is it instant messaging or webcam I've never seen a setting to set up instant messaging maybe that's just me. I signed up for the text thing and not a single bite it's beyond slow even with having some feedback and cam traffic.

It's in the directcam settings, you tick the box to provide text chat only, with no video.

ive done more text than IM, in fact ive been camming since march and havnt done IM once through AW. I have done a skype IM session though.
Can i ask what people charge for IM compared to their regular with cam private price?
Also, if you log on for IM DO NOT FORGET TO CHANGE YOUR PRICE BACK when you log on with your cam.... trust me you only make that mistake once :/

I charge 99p for pvt. I don't do Group anymore in IM because I found that if I am chatting to someone in Group and another user enters, the 1st one disappears. Its not like Group in DC.
Also, if you log on for IM DO NOT FORGET TO CHANGE YOUR PRICE BACK when you log on with your cam.... trust me you only make that mistake once :/
As well as remembering to change the price back, don't forget to DISABLE Audio, I have seen loads online on IM with their Audio enabled, which means Service Seekers can hear.
I get about 2 or 3 texts every YEAR! So I find texts on AW dead in the water. IM is much better/easier/pays better and altho a bit random can be quite lucrative at times unlike texting

Aw support is made of monkeys .Even a monkey would understand me better.I was suspended for 2 weeks and asked to reverify when my suspension will be done.Reason :my profile was stating that I am from Hungary and I am not and no way I could change my location because I am under controll of european advisor.They had this glitch before where I was showing as from Hungary along with other models.I emailed them thinking they had the glitch again.I wake up to an email,teling me that I was fucking suspended for accessing the website with vpn and US ip.Now I know the ToS,I always paid attention to not have my vpn on when I log in so I dont recall doing it.And if I was accessing from US ip why in the world I was showing in my profile from Hungary?Accessing with vpn would show in my profile from real location and accessing from ....whatever fake location was.Doesnt make sense to me,sent them a rude email as they were rude too in theirs and idgaf if they ban me or not at this point.I never cared to lie about my location there,the only site I did that was SM but i stopped doing it ,was a forbidden location for easterns and never know when they'll start suspending too.But at least there would have been a fair suspension or ban because indeed I broke a non written rule.
Anyway ,i hate hate hate aw support,they wont listen and think they are always right.monkeys.Im debating if to re verify myself in two weeks or leave it just because if I have to deal one more time with their EE support I 'll end up having a heart atack.

I'm sorry Seicento, they can be frustrating in the extreme! I would wait nearer to the end of the 2 weeks to make that decision...other options may come together in that time or you may feel more able to go through the process again.

I charge 1 credit a minute for private in DirectIM, I don't offer group as I can't imagine it working with more than one person. It's useful too for simply appearing online and can help with content sales. The ones who charge a lot in DirectIM are generally escorts and using it to talk about future bookings (as well as chat). I didn't know sound worked in DirectIM, I know C2C doesn't...sometimes guys will be happy for you just to watch them, with them not able to see you (for that I go into DirectCam but keep the sticky over my laptop webcam and charge my DirectIM rate).

I do not understand. I been working just fine last week in AW.
I took a break then when I returned I can't login... and got this message.
"No member was found with the Nickname and Password you supplied"
When I tried to click "Forgot Password" they sent it to my email and it was right. I tried again and I still can't login.
I still have credits left in there...
How do I contact them? I have been trying to contact them but I never get a reply.

Try logging in again today, sometimes it just glitches.
horny please don't join someone's group unless you know exactly what it entails! The group leader has control of your profile and your money and most of them don't do anything in return for the cut they take, many hold you to ransom with your money and details,
I've read about girls being blackmailed (the group leader threatens to reveal their real name
And address etc) or just had their money taken.
Personally I don't waste my time on guys who say they cam on the site because most of them are after some kind of freebie or to get your details. If he is finding it 'dead' then what can he do for you? Nothing! If he is promoting people then school holidays shouldn't mean jack to him. I'm not earning any less than before the holidays.

Also don't pay attention to male 'models', they're just typical freebie hunting tossers who set up an account with the intention of bugging girls.

So, I pretty much let my AW verification lapse last year and have to reverify now etc to be able to do webcam work. I don't mind that much, I was just wondering how things are there now? I know that at one point people were talking about this like it was a desert and I also felt to some extent that money was very very scarce there but have things improved again? Is it worth giving it a second shot?
ETA: I enjoyed the site immensely because of the paid chat feature, makes it great for splitcamming, so just wondering about the other stuff

Is it allowed to sell your Kik etc in special offers on AW? I have seen it done but can't find out whether it is or not. I've searched the forum and can only see that its not allowed on SM. I will be putting on ELM but just looking for extra outlets really while camming is quiet.

I just left dailypay and now I'm confused about when I get paid. I use payoneer and I read that you need to put in a request by tuesday of each week but then it said something about when it's 2 weeks old, you can get paid weekly.
Does that mean they hold your pay for 2 weeks the first time? I'm a bit confused about what they mean.

How ever you call it, it means they take two weeks to process each request from the cut off date for that pay period. So I submit a pay request today, get paid two weeks from now. If I submit a request every week it means I get paid everyweek, but I'm recieving the pay from two weeks previously. I hope I haven't made that sound even more confusing!!

Is this how DP take payment from your account? Change it to your Payoneer details...you might be able to do it by clicking on the Payoneer link, otherwise contact AW. Don't payout until it's showing your id.

As far as I can see, AW don't have any particular rules regarding this. BUT personally I would make them (the models) sign a release form etc that you hold on file, exactly as you would with anywhere else. Then you can prove - if the issue arises - that you have permission to use their image in your clip/pic. There doesn't seem to be any way of uploading IDs of other models to your account anyway. And there doesn't seem to be any rule about them having their own account either.

It's always worth having as much to sell as possible. I charge 11 credits for 7 days so they can't have access free by using their freeviews...means I sell less but I'm not giving away my pics for free. They can do the same with movies too but they can only get a freeview once with each girl. http://www.adultwork.com/dlgKBArticle.asp?TargetURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eadul twork%2Ecom%2FdlgKBSearchResults%2Easp%3FCommandID %3D1%26Q%3Dfree%2Bviews%26T%3D1%26TargetURL%3Dhttp %253A%252F%252Fwww%252Eadultwork%252Ecom%252FdlgFA QsNew%252Easp&T=1&Q=free+views&ArticleID=96
