I'm going to try out AW in a couple of days because I'm trying to get away from SM and I'm just curious what you think are the pros and cons of each site and which one you believe is better;D
Wait...I'm on Candid Camera, right? (looks all around) Punk'd maybe?
AW has a lot less overall traffic, but also a LOT less competition.
AW pays almost DOUBLE the payout of SM.
AW, allows you to work with NO Free chat.
Streamate is owned by evil people who use the Eastern Europeam Studio system to almost enslave and exploit women, and also makes you sign away ALL rights to all of your content.
AW...none of that.
Learn AW like it is your best friend....it is.

I wish i could work aw like everyone els. =[
Ive always just gotten beggers
And when i work without free chat
i get mabey one show for 5 seconds
AW is fantastic and I'm doing pretty well on there... I almost always get at least one LONG ASS PRIVATE on there each day. I hardly ever use free chat anymore... just paid chat only. I really love it and if I could work AW exclusively, I would.
However, when it comes to pure earning potential, unfortunately Streamate takes the cake. Almost every time I log on I earn a lot of money really fast. I don't like the site at all, but when there are bills to pay you gotta go where the money is.
It sounds like AW is definately the preferred site but not the money making one. Now I'm not someone to ask how much money anyone makes but would it be a reasonable expectation for me to think I could make 1500 a month on AW. Then if I needed a few extra dollars I could just set up appointments with regulars on SM..lol...and no Bambalina...I'm not punking you ;)
Yeah, 1500 per month is definitely possible. I've made 1300 credits since the beginning of January but only worked 16 days. 1300 credits doesn't come to $1300 exactly, probably more like $1000-$1100 for me with CAD currency. But it's still pretty good considering I use paid chat for only about three or four hours per day (which means I'm doing other stuff around the house or on the net in between privates)
Agree with everything above^
Have to say though with the right profile setup you can make nearly as much on AW as you do on SM. With SM theres no real need for a great profile as the traffics already there but with AW you have to work that little bit extra. Once setup correctly you just leave it and you can even earn a small revenue stream from pictures and movies.
If your profile isnt right on AW your earning potential will be low though.
OK,OK - but I'm from Central Europe, small, poor country - how could I get traffic there? My English isn't so fluent to say that I'm from England... I don't like this 'sorting' in AW.
noo Aw is alot better earning wise than you think. My roomate and I average about 4500 - 6000 USD a month. Make sure to take great pictures. Also I have noticed that alot of you turn off your free chat... dont you realise that when you do this AW puts you at the bottom of the cam listing ? The girls who turn free chat off and still bank are the ones who have HUGE followings like Emily Balfour and miss Seductive. Im sure that Emily Balfour makes about as much as a top MFC girl !
My roomate and I always have our freechat on and honestly about 50 percent of our earnings come from people who saw us in free , liked our vibe and then took us into group or private. Trust me leave free chat on for now, and when you have about 150 feedback turn it off.
Also like princess Jenny always says... make sure to constantly cycle your main profile photo to keep you high up on the list..blogging helps as well but that can be tiring. also if you get fed up of doing that... Use the direct cam positioning and make a bid for half a credit (never spend more than that) and that will shoot you right up to the top of the list. i usually spend 1 credit a day for the two busiest hours (11pm and 12 am) it works like a charm !
Work on your profile ! !! take some nice pictures ! put on some make up and get a photographer to take some nice simple shots of you. yeah it costs money but consider it an investment. Hell you dont even have to show your face.. i blur all my pictures and never ever show my face in my videos. Always always look your best on cam no matter how bad a day your having or how bad your feeling. That's one thing i learned from the top 20 girls on MFC they always very well presented. their hair and makeup is usually on point and their rooms are clean or nicely decorated .

^^ Great advice! You've convinced me to turn my free chat on again. I'm just so used to keeping it OFF so I can clean my house, watch tv, surf the net, or multi-cam on another site and not have to bother with free chat at all. Honestly, I haven't noticed a huge decline in the number of privates I get in paid vs. free chat but I'll turn it on again anyway. I would KILL to make what you're making on AW.
I guess I should start a blog too but I never know what to say. Hmm.
hehehe blogs are annoying... i nag my boyfriend to write them for me ! about free.. if you have other things to do then definitely by all means set it to group only. but at peak peak times i keep my free chat on :) and if someone is being irritating i just ignore them
Just curious what are the peak times to go on there? I'm usually online in the early afternoon here in BC, which is Pacific Time.
^^ Another BC chick! Yay! My peak times are from 3PM-6PM Pacific. It seems I don't make much if anything before or after that time span.
Go BC! lol..I've never been on at those times. I think my latest is 4pm Maybe I'm missing out on the big spenders
im eastern time zone and peak times for me are 5pm till 1 am
I personally love SM. I know a lot of girls hate them because they only pay 35% which does suck however, percentages dont pay my bills, $$$ does and I make waaaay more $$ on streamate than any other site. The cons are of course that there is free chat and video but I rarely have to sit in the lobby for more than a couple mins before getting back to back privates so its a keeper for me :-)
AW for some reason is either a hit or miss for me. I either log in and get a dozen back to back shows or I get 0 all day.....
Ok so I've turned my freechat back on for AW and will see how that goes tomorrow.
So when are the peak times in UK time zone
Do y'all stand up and give them a whirl?
I never do on SM, but they ask so nicely on AW... and there aren't as many guys, so it's not constant stand up if you did...
I still don't, but I've been thinking about it
mostly I say
"I have ooodles and oodles of gallery photos and I want you to look at them first. after that we can discuss that twirl!"
I keep hearing peak times are 12-4 PST (BC, Cali, Vegas) or 8pm-midnight GMT (UK time)
On the online login page here there is a GMT clock that has been added to help non UK performers keep an eye on the time.
I recommend 11pm-3am GMT for general busy times on AW.
There is a few hours in the morning that it can pick up aswell randomly.
No. but I am about to start doing free chat more often now (it seems to be the only way for me to get traffic) So I guess I will "stand up and do a twirl" SOMETIMES. But seriously that "stand up and give us a twirl" really irritates me more than the question "are you an escort?"
I try to tell them in a nice way that I have close to 200 pics to see, but that doesn't seem to work, and I do get more shows when in free chat, so I have been thinking that every once in a while I will stand up and show them what I am wearing. But no, I was not standing up before for them.
my prices on aw are
1.2 for group
2.0 for private
3.0 for private with skype
4.0 for soft girl/girl show
5.0 for hard girl/girl show
peak times are 8pm till 12 am british time like princess jenny said. some people tend to stay on till 2am brit time though.
the hard thing for my roomate and I is theres only a few big spenders who are REALLY into black women. so if too much popular black girls are online at the same time (like blackberry and tropical tease) we wont make as much.
