Can someone please tell me what exactly does 'AW Live' mean?

It's the new site in beta. We are switching over to an SM style site.
The Adultwork 'Transfer Credits' page now has a new Tab showing we can process our Credits via epayservices.
Has anyone used epay before? (via elsewhere I mean as it appears to be a new payment option via Adultwork).
I never noticed the new beta site before. I wonder if it will just be the site layout that changes or if we will get any new profile features? I would really like the ability to be able to block certain customers from viewing my profile altogether & being able to block customers by their actual IP's would also be useful.
I wish AW would get stricter and stop allowing the customers having several profiles. It's only the weird, stalky ones that feel the need to have loads of profiles all at the same time.
I show up higher when i position, just as on the current site. The problems i see are:
- those offering just IM or just phone aren't visible
- there doesnt seem to be a daily featured page
- the 'next/previous' profile feature distracts guys and encourages them to keep scrolling through profiles instead of staying on yours.
- There's no info that comes up when you hover profile pics of girls who are available. So all a guy has to go on is your picture.
- This also means there's no way for him to know what you offer unless he goes to your profile.
And from a purely nosey perspective you cant easily see how many are in group and private, what % of those are UK etc.
I started on AW last week and is it true that bidding is necessary to make some earnings? Especially at the beginning? Without bidding I sat for many hours making nothing while that one hour where I placed myself first row (for 20 pound, I was not sure how it worked) I had a private for 60 minutes :o
I dont think so, i have placed bids and got no shows while without bidding i got shows.....i dont really think it makes much difference if you are not on the first or second row.
I had to position years ago to get any calls, nowerdays its no so simple I find. I go to first or second row and get no calls for hours. Go to 4 down on the front page get calls. Some days if I don't position I get calls and some days don't....
I find it's not worth positioning that high unless you're lucky and make it to the first slot, since then you show on the main page. When it comes to positioning or not, it's bound to be different for all of us and depend on what regular following we have developed. I personally always pay for positioning. There is more than one way that guys can see who is online and the layout is different in each.
I never bid on Direct Cam positioning or offer free preview and I still get shows. When I have bid on positioning it doesn't seem to make much difference for me.
I do sometimes bid on Direct Chat positioning when I'm on cam and seems to bring better results.
You've got to be careful when bidding for positioning - I once missed out the decimal point on my bid and ended up paying about 150 credits but I was lucky and I made it back in the hours because I ended up on the front page. I was gutted though when I realized my mistake.
I find that bidding can help sometimes, but other times it won't make a difference at all. I alternate, sometimes if it's very dead I will bid to give me a boost, but I bid 2, 3 or, very very rarely, 4. 20 is waaaay too much. You really don't need to bid that much to be high in the first page. Good luck! x
I only position for alternate hours now. I used to bid 3 and was on the top row, now it's closer to 7 to barely get on the 6th so i only do one hour then do 10 mins of free in the next hour. The way things are now with positioning if you do it regularly it works out that you're actually paying over 50% of your earnings to aw rather than 30 - 35%!
20 credits seems a lot especially for someone new on the site as newbies are normally busy anyway. You can also pay for 24 hr featuring which you can buy for as low as 3 credits a day for cam and the same for phone chat.
I find daily featuring only helps with movie sales, rather than cam shows, and you have to buy the slots far in advance to get them cheaply. Daily featuring for one of the services will get your Twitter link shown though. I only pay for hourly positioning.
Everyone does something different, you just need to find what works for you. Girls here will have regulars and that affects the need to position.
Thought i'd test the positioning thing as I haven't paid more than 1 credit an hour in ages. Put in 10 credits was second on first row and not one call!
Think i'll go back to my 1 credit positioning :D
I just started on AW and I love the site so far. But I just had a bad night.... I bid way too much :( and I wasnt even top row. I bid 50 credits (never doing that again). It was my second night online :( ughh,..,. But after reading this I will not do that anymore...
I guess I have to make sure I get regulars right? Any tips :)?
50 credits & over is a crazy amount to bid. You might as well bid for the front page slots, especially if you've got other profile stuff to sell like pictures and clips. If you bid for the front page and someone out bids you then you get you're money back.
I think the main ( front ) page slots start at 20 credits and sometimes they're empty because no-one has bid so that might be worth having a go at for you.
I never pay more than 3 credits for my daily featuring. If you want to know when it's cheapest to buy then just message me and I'll tell you. I'm not doing it publicly cause it will make the price go up :)
Has anyone ever got front page slot and has it made a difference to their earnings?
I've often wondered if it makes much difference. I imagine in might be worth it if you've got lots to sell when you're offline but, sometimes those slots stay empty so, I don't know maybe someone who bids regularly on it will tell us.
I'm pleased that AW are going to be updating their sex shop. It's about time. There was never really anything exciting in there to add to the wish lists. They're saying that they're be stocking more quality items :)
It would be good if they could have like a Delivery Code style service. I bet that would go down very well on AdultWork - Even a wish list featuring might be good too.
I've managed it before but I wasn't bidding a crazy amount for it, I was just lucky and it was years ago before girls bid so highly...I can't remember how much extra I earned but the increase in the number of guys coming in was very noticeable.
For the amount you have to bid now to maybe reach it, it probably isn't worth it in case you don't make that slot.
