I find most (99%) of the Adultwork customers are in the UK, so you have to keep that in mind. Likewise, MFC and other Americans sites are awkward for me, in that I find I need to stay up all night to be busy. I wish there were more big 'UK sites'... As an American (or at least living there) you have so much more choice as to what sites to use. Or so I think anyway! xx
I am trying mornings! Thanks
I'm in CA as well (assuming you mean California and not Canada lol) I'm just getting started on AW but I have a regular from the UK and usually around noon is good for him because that's night time for him and he has trouble sleeping if he hasn't cum so I help him with that. So yeah, probably mornings to early afternoon are best in CA time.
I was on MFC last night and it was DEAD DEAD DEAD.
I had been away for 2 weeks and was expecting to have at least a deccent night and get a bit of love from my regs, but nope, none of them were on and I just had a ton of freeloaders.
Plus because I hadn't been on for so long I sat around way longer than I usually would like a dummy when I was getting no tips and skrewed up my camscore.
It was my worst night yet! Shmehhh
I tried out AdultWork on Sunday afternoon around 3:30pm central time. It was my first time ever doing that site, and within maybe 10 min of being signed in, I had a call. I answered it, but he had already left? Then, within 2 min another call for a private chat. Answered that one and talked for about 10 min. Then he left and within 2 min another call, but I had to take my daughter to work so I had to decline. Today, I signed in about 7:30pm CST and within 10 min had a group chat request. Now, I am finding (since I have only been on iFriends which basically only gets American viewers) that the guys in the UK are quite different than what I am used to. Not in a bad way, but, the 2 calls I was able to entertain wanted me to talk about either them being a baby or how babies are made. This last guy actually did not need nudity or toys or any of that stuff.. he just wanted me to read a webpage that described how babies are conceived! LOL While he was in group chat, 2 others came in but left when I they heard me reading to this guy.. guess it wasn't their cup of tea! Then this guy asked me if I knew how to "gleek". I didn't know what that meant? Asked him if that was something from the TV show, but he wouldn't tell me? Do you guys know what it means? So, I had 3 people in a 15 min period in the group chat, but the other 2 left when they realized I wasn't doing what would be interesting to them. I don't know if they are charged for that? Can they come in and leave within 30 seconds like SM if they don't like what they see or hear? I wouldn't be bothered if they weren't charged, but, really, this guy should have chosen the private mode for what we were doing. It was completely geared towards him.
At any rate, I am trying to get on AW in the late afternoon/early evening. I got on after midnight my time last night and I was dead as a doorknob.
Another thing I noticed is: I did a search for women on webcam in my age group. There are only SIX of us. I had a hard time believing there aren't more over 45 women on there. Could be why I am getting the mommy type stuff.
The other thing I cannot figure out on AW is how do I rate the client? How do I talk on the phone with them? On iFriends, we both call into an 800# so I don't have to compromise my privacy, but I cannot for the life of me find a post on here how others do it, or on the AW site how to do it! I am sorry if it has been asked before and answered, but I have been searching for that.
I also have been waiting 2 weeks to be validated on SM. They sent me an email stating they are *backed up* and would be going through the apps as they got them. Ah well.
For those who are on AW, are you allowing Free chat? I opted out of that for now. I would rather try to just deal with the guys who are there for shows, not to ask me to spin around show this show that.
Sorry to hear that Peach. Yes I am in California. So I think mornings will be best. I can't do anything in the daytime or evenings. It is hard to stay up until 2am! I will be 40 years old next week. Soeverything is getting harder. I may just get a day job again.
Really? Wow, I still am not sure what that is! Must be a fetish? And, I thought I had heard and seen it all! Interesting!
..........
I will not do fetish / specific requests in group mode at all unless they are asking for something mainstream like just a masturbation show. If they want something like that they need to go private and pay more.
yes, they are charged for group and It can really kill your ratings there if you do fetish in group.
I personally opt out of free chat. I get enough of that on streamate, lol. ugh.
For phone I use a google voice number (with a totally different area code than my home state) and either call them from the web with that (it rings my home or cell phone) or give them the google voice # and it rings me. Either way the call is free for me. You need to set it up to forward to your phone and that protects your # from them seeing it. Be sure it's set to display your google voice # on caller ID. If they want my google # and I give it to them and they call when I'm offline I go to google voice and block them from calling. I've only had that happen one time and the guy came back and apologized and promised never to do it again, so I unblocked him. Other than that one guy it hasn't been a problem.
You know, when I was reading to this guy and saw others come in, I thought.. hmmm this is something I would have asked him to go private for if we were on iFriends. I also thought, I should have told him he needed to come back into private chat due to this being very focused on him. I guess being new, I didn't want to take the risk of him either not coming back, or leaving a poor rating ( I had none at the time ) When I saw the other 2 guys come in, I knew they were going to hightail it out of there since I wasn't doing anything sexual and wasn't naked or even wearing lingerie. I was just sitting here in clothes reading to the guy. LOL If he comes back again and wants me to read to him some more or another guy comes in and asks for something really specific, I am going to have to tell them to call back (do they have to exit and come back or can they click a private button?) for a private.
I will have to look at the Google Voice thing. So, your computer calls your home or cell phone and connects you that way?
I finally got my SM account activated and will have to try that place out.
Thanks!
Darn, yesteday I was able to figure out how to rate the viewers I had, and today I cannot figure it out or remember how I did it! By rating them, it actually prompted 2 to rate me back! Do you know how to rate your viewers on AW? I had a few today and wanted to rate them.
Just click on 'Emails and bookings' and it either asks you if you want to rate, or you need to untick the box at the bottom that says "do not prompt me to leave ratings or feedback". Then you will be able to.
So so many guys never bother rating, even guys that you know for a fact definately enjoyed themselves. Grr. I am due so many more ratings. >:( I always rate everyone as I like to keep things tidy and get them out of the way quickly.
Do the ratings help you move up in the page (not the featured page, I know you have to buy into that one) or help in getting viewers?
Thanks for the info! I think I found it yesterday by poking around and clicking on all sorts of things! I need to write it down so I don't forget it again. I did a search of the forum and couldn't find the answer.
They don't help you move up on a page but some customers do search by higher ratings, plus high ratings suggests that you are good. So ratings are very desirable.
I almost always use directcam positioning to get higher up on the page and get more exposure. I figure 1 or 2 credits is worth it if it gets me more punters.

When you bid to be featured, is it a per click bid? I am still a bit confused as to how that whole featuring thing works. I looked at it today and it would be about 14 credits for me if I wanted to bid tomorrow. If I bid say 2 weeks out, the price goes down. I found that there are times I am not even on the Available Now page ...I will be on page 2 (boo LOL) but, as soon as I get a viewer, even if he only pops in for a min and then back out, I suddenly rise to the 1st page of Available cams.
Also, where does the term "punter" come from and what does it mean? I was reading a blog the other day that talked about punters. I am thinking this is a UK thing as I have never heard the term in the US.
LOL I had that guy who wanted me to read that sex thing to him. I'm very immature with that stuff...lol it was so hard not to bust out laughing with it. I also had some guy who wanted me to put my tits in plastic bags and tie them up like a bra...Yeah, I did it but hid my face incase it goes on one of those bitches will do anything for a dollar site.
Punter just means customer.
Featuring your profile or an aspect of your profile (escort/phone/cam/movies etc) is different from directcam positioning. Featuring is for the whole day and you show up on the homepage. But it's not your day, other people can do it too. So you are not constantly being advertsised. I only tried it once.
DirectCam positioning is what works for me. When you are on the home page, if you look at top left you will see tabs for direct cam and bellow it directchat. Click on 'other providers' from the one shown and it shows the people currently logged into justcamit, starting with people in group mode, then people was have used positioning, then everyone else, then all over again with the people who don't use free chat.
My details -> edit profiles -> direct cam positioning.
You enter credits for the hour you want to be positioned. Leave it close to the start of the new hour, otherwise everyone's bids will go higher by the time that it's eg 4.55. It will tell you how much you need to put in to go higher as your box will be red (low down), yellow (somewhere in middle) or green (high up). Then you can adjust your bid if you want. Even if you are red, you are above all the people who have not used directcam positioning. I normally pay 1 or 2 credits a time.
Hope this makes sense.

Noooo! They NEVER get my number unless they are already IN pay chat in my cam room watching me!!! They would just try to call you free so definitely do not give out your number there ever.
Also if they disconnect from my pay cam room I hang up immediately and if they were to try to call back they get blocked. (have only had a guy call my # when he wasn't in pay once in years and I blocked him, he apologized and I unblocked again).
I don't even have my number registered anywhere on the site at all. I don't do the phone sex feature there and I don't have it text me. I just check the site for my emails. Ive never seen any reason to give AdultWork my cell # or any other number. If I'm available for cam I'm in front of my computer so why would I want adultwork to text me?
I doubt many guys are going to want to use DirectChat and pay for that too while already paying in your cam room. I put my DirectCam price high enough so that I don't mind adding in phone with their session, and I find it makes the session last longer so it's worth it.
I also don't do booked shows. I only use the JustCamIt software with DirectCam.
