Volume of privates on AW?
Hey all, I've been working on AW for some time now and I'm loving it. I'm always using the free chat option and it works great for me. The first hour or so is usually slow but then it starts picking up very nicely.
I thought I'd try the paid chat only option today but I'm not seeing very much traffic. I've had one short group and one private in about 2 hours. I've been updating pictures and creating a new private gallery, too, so it's not because of that.
It seems like most of the AW girls here use paid chat only, so I'm just wondering what your average volume of privates happens to be. Can you really make your goal for the day in x hours using AW's paid chat mode, or is it more of a "I'm gonna do paid chat while I work Streamate" type thing?
Re: Volume of privates on AW?
I'm in the same boat as you. I make more money in free chat. Today, I did not feel like using free chat, so I stayed in private mode, and didn't make much. I took a lot of pics thru out the whole day, and I uploaded a video. So I know it wasn't that either. It sucks because I really get irritated in any free chat type of setting. I especially get annoyed when they say "stand up and give me a twirl" It's better than "show ass then pvt bb" But still, annoying. LOL! I wish I had more patience, but I still love AW! I do better in free chat :(

Just a reminder for performers, not saying this is the reason directly but it can help. Busy times on AW are 11pm-3am UK GMT. After about 4am the site dies down to a handful of clients. Also during mid-day the numbers can drop quite low. This is only a helpful hint :)
Re: Volume of privates on AW?

Re: Volume of privates on AW?
Yeah, Jenny's right, the best times definitely seem to be between 10PM-3AM (2PM-7PM my time) so that's when I try to be logged on.
I had to go back to free chat because I simply wasn't making any money... but from that point on I had a GREAT night! Oh well, free chat or no free chat, AW is freakin' awesome! I get so many loooooong privates, that's what I love about it. :D

Try directIM, its only typing with no video or audio.
Re: Volume of privates on AW?
I think I'm going to try DirectIM too for the same reason. I can only webcam on the nights my son works so that would be perfect. I was looking at my settings and it looks like I would just change the pricing and check offering DirectIM typed chat only? Then switch it back when offering cam?

Yep thats right, quite easy to switch between the different modes.
Re: Volume of privates on AW?
There's already half a dozen threads on AW, so Smurfette, please don't mind me hijacking your thread to ask something. :)
I want to know can I edit my AW profile to show not my actual location, age, etc, etc, but one I want it to show.
When I log in like a guest from my country, it shows my profile as a provider from said country. Even if it's not accessible because I blocked it , I find this a problem, as I want to distance my cam persona from my actual personal details. ( not to mention I'm from a small country and seemingly the only camgirl from it)
When I tried to change this on my profile, AW pointed me to registration details, after I tried to change it there, it told me I cannot offer any services now and I had to upload verification documents again.
I have to show my actual age and location?? >:(
Re: Volume of privates on AW?
I don't think you can change your country display. On every other camsite I tell people I'm from the US, but AW shows my real country and won't let me change it. It doesn't really bother me except for the inconsistency, but I can understand your dilemma. Perhaps you could send them an email about it.
The age displayed however doesn't have to be your actual age. I changed my age on my profile after registering.
Re: Volume of privates on AW?
I changed my country to UK because I don't want guys to be put-off that I am American. I want to reel them in with my charm, good looks and big knockers! ;)
Re: Volume of privates on AW?
Strippername, how did you do that? Does it verify your profile if your ID is from another country?
Thank you, and Smurfette also! :)
Re: Volume of privates on AW?
When I first started, a girl told me to charge 1.50 group, 2.00 private, but I wasn't getting many shows, and ZERO feedback. At the advise of someone else, I lowered my rate, and started to get steady traffic. Also keep in mind you are charging credits in British Pounds, which is higher when converted to USD. So 1.50 group is 2.36 USD and 2.5 pvt is 3.94 USD. Some guys may not want to pay that much if you are new with little to no feedback.
Re: Volume of privates on AW?
Your welcome! Let us know how it works. I hope you makes lot's $$$$
Re: Volume of privates on AW?
I've been experimenting with lowering my rate recently (and I think lots of girls on AW have lowered theirs too) because there are so many new girls on there now. In the long run though I think that will be a good thing!

Theirs two ways to do this.. that as much to my knowledge. one you can just change your country all together.. but AW will STILL show your Country your broadcasting from/// I.E Profile states your in the UK, but will say something like model is broadcasting from USA
Another thing all together is get A IP changer or VPN Server *VPN is better cause when you us Justcamit it will also pick up the change on the server and will also keep broadcasting from UK* which will elimanate the the broadcaster says shes in the Uk but no she isn't.. just an example of how you may want to do it.. 8)

Thank you! When you posted this, I was just researching IP address changing, because AW was showing where I actually am. I was thinking: "Damn, adultwork, do you really hate me?":D
Sorry, Smurfette, maybe I should've opened a new thread. I promise I'll post OT as soon as I have some experience there. :)

oh! Thanks for this! I usually work 7-11pm because thats when the heating is on and its warm enough to sit in front of my laptop in lingerie or whatever. My housemates also go to bed around 11pm so I usually stop then.
Fuck, now I really wish I had my own place so I could work the best hours in a warm house! :(
Also, I dont get shows if I dont have free chat on. If they guys tell me to stand up or show anything, I tell them to tip me. They usually leave the room. I dont care, I want your money, not your approval.
As Im a Mistress in the fetish category, I find I make the most money when wearing lingerie with a corset/stockings etc. If I wear a catsuit or something else, not so much.
