Struggling with Adultwork - Please help!!
I had an profile on AW before and had to delete it due to personal reasons. Now I'm back I've had to rejoin and make a new name/persona etc. I only joined AW again a couple days ago and don't know if I'm just worrying but it's completly dead/quiet for me and getting worried it will be like this for a while and this isn't good considering I've got demands to pay £400 rent and I'm going away for the month this weekend and therefore have no other ways of making any extra cash as far as I know unless anyone can make any suggestions. I've been on webcam all day, done my phone chat all but nothng seems to be working, no feedback, low views etc! Does my profile just need time or should there be certain things I should be putting on my profile?? Thank you! I just need loads of tips on how to boost my income as Niteflirt is not working out for me!

Re: Struggling with Adultwork - Please help!!
Look at other profiles that do well. See what they have. I'm not saying copy it, but get inspiration from them. This whole site is filled with information that can help. Check out the AW thread. Lots of goodies there!

Adultwork is having technical problems at the moment http://www.adultwork.com/CurrentStatus.asp

Re: Struggling with Adultwork - Please help!!
AW doesn't get much traffic. Can you link your profile so I can have a look and maybe give you some tips?

Re: Struggling with Adultwork - Please help!!

Re: Struggling with Adultwork - Please help!!
Your profile is literally 2 days old. AW is not a busy site. Sometimes I don't get any people the whole day, other days its back to back sessions from regulars. It is definitely a regulars-based site, and many of the "successful" girls you see on that site have been around for years and have had time to build up a roster of regulars. It takes a lot of time to build up.
The plus side for you is that you're in the UK, so you will be getting the most traffic since UK guys (which largely make up the site) will see UK girls first.

Re: Struggling with Adultwork - Please help!!
Put up a better profile picture. The one you have does not show you off at all as it's dark and you can't make out anything. It doesn't have to be a face shot, but one that shows off your best features, looks suggestive or cute, or portrays whatever type of image it is you want to give off x

Re: Struggling with Adultwork - Please help!!
Is not just you ,is the second slow week for me on there.Many guys complain about the site being slow,they `re turned off when they have to wait 10 mins for site and cams to load.At least that is what some of my regs told me these days.I`m sure it will get better when those technical issues will be fixed.And yeah ,profile pic matters.They dont read much,at least I have to guide every single guy from free chat to my profile.I used to have a full profile,now I have few words written in there and they still don`t read.But profile pic is what brings them in.

Re: Struggling with Adultwork - Please help!!
I think you profile looks fine, their are girls with less who never leave group. The last 2 maybe 3 weeks the site has been so bad,so many crashes, every day is a new issue. I've missed bookings because I wouldn't receive notice till 5 hrs to 2 days later. So its most likely not you. Just remember to ask for feedback during the session or you could offer a pic with each rating, a lil something to motivate them to leave feedback. But if they don't, don't stress it, you get better placement with a 0 anyways.
Also try using free chat, I know its super annoying but it really can increase your income, If you feel your placement is low you can boost it with positioning and you can feature your vids and shop. Raise your rates , only Romanian and African girls can survive on .65min

Instead of having the "updates" tab as you your first tab, this needs to be the "Aisha" one so they can get to know something about you without having to click on a tab to do it...getting them to read anything on the profile is a challenge without making it more difficult for them :)
Maybe make a free intro movie for your profile page too.

Re: Struggling with Adultwork - Please help!!
Wow I didn't notice the rate. The average is £1.50/2.50 upwards
-
Re: Struggling with Adultwork - Please help!!
The profile is showing DirectIM rates at the moment.

Re: Struggling with Adultwork - Please help!!
Thanks everyone I'm going to make the changes to my profile now :) and I'll switch the tab thing over or get rid of the update bit , I also logged in to my old account and messaged some people I used to speak to on a regular basis so fingers crossed as well as having the old regulars I'll build up some new ones and get feedback etc.
A couple days ago I ordered some lingerie and stuff from online which is really nice and planning to use these as my profile pictures once they arrive. On my profile to encourage feedback I've already added about me giving album pins out or I might just send a picture or something to them instead as I think the second option is better as hopefully they would keep coming back for more. I might give free chat a go on webcam but I already give it a go on IM but only because it shows you for free on the side panel bit on AW.
I always switch between Direct Cam and Direct IM :)
For some reason I've always kept my rates low well especially when I made my old profile and then once I built up my feedback I'd always increase my prices or if there was a month which I was struggling I'd put the rates low again, It's not always like that lol x

Re: Struggling with Adultwork - Please help!!
Your rates are so low it looks like you're from eastern Europe! Change them to charge more. Maybe more than one pic in your free gallery?

Re: Struggling with Adultwork - Please help!!
Has nothing to do with topic but why are u criticizing so much eastern europe for what they charge?There are a few of us here.I`ve already seen 2 comments against easterns.I`m in EE and I do not charge minimum on aw and never did.Let me make it clear:those charging 0.6 till 1 a min are in studios,working maybe 9 sites at once,I am not happy seeing them selling their goods for less than worth but there,studios make the decisions,what to charge.Most of them are beautiful and not all of them are illiterate.We all know that for example,Romania has the most beautiful women.Yeah,english is not our primary language ,still some of us have a great english.Independents are charging more but not same as uk models.Why ?Because when customers hear we`re in EE they leave .Why they leave ?Because they want to meet ,not only cam.And all the time uk girls will be busier and able to charge more because THEY ARE IN THE UK AND THE IDIOTS WILL PAY FOR MEETING OR HOPING TO MEET.First of all,EE are not escorts are just webcammers and that makes things harder for us.Dont criticize others for what they charge ,is their decision and their decision was not made for our criticism.I would love to be able to charge 3 a min but for now,I struggle with 1.6 and is damn hard,because I am eastern european.Not possible to charge more if you want to be busy,as an eastern I mean.I had a friend living in the uk for a while,they paid almost 3 a min for her.Now she is back in EE and guess what?Down to 1 a min bcs idiots wont pay more.Ofc,we all know why,there will be no meetings possible !Sorry I posted but is annoying seeing comments,I do not defend all the easterns but some of us are really great but we can not charge 3 a min and then starve because no one will pvt us.

Re: Struggling with Adultwork - Please help!!
The whole charging differently thing sucks, I wish the minimum rate was higher for cam.
I can't get by on charging 3 credits a minute either, I wish I could but I am on during the daytime when most of the privates are with girls charging around 1 credit a minute. When guys go into a show with me though, they are under no illusion about meeting me, I make it clear that I don't.
-
Re: Struggling with Adultwork - Please help!!
I didn't mean to offend you, or other EE girls, and it absolutely wasn't my intention. From my experience talking with men, the ones who charge very little are categorised by servie seekers as non-UK based and more likely to work for a studio, which a lot of customers aren't happy about. Those who charge more, which are overwhelmingly UK based, tend to be independent.

Re: Struggling with Adultwork - Please help!!
Those rates are for Instant Message, not cam.

I was not offended but the mention about EE charging little put me down yesterday.And litle while back I saw posted in a models profile something like "If you want a cheaper and illiterate girl then go to EE" so I am sorry but I felt the need to say something about all this thing.At 1.6 a min for a week I made less than I did at 1.2 and I`m talking for independents now,is not easy to keep a higher rate and make money at the same time when you are EE.This does not mean that I give a bad show,does not mean that I am illiterate or the ugliest on site,not at all.Like Katy said ,if only aw would set minimum to at least 1 a min would be fantastic.But it is what it is.I might need to go back to lowering my rates one of these days and not because I want.When I posted yesterday was after having few guys leaving my chat when heard where am I from,yeah,they avoid us most of the time and might be because of what u said Beauvoir.And I tend to be unlucky and get those who want to meet.For free,eventually.Sorry OP that I posted all this in your thread.Good luck everyone x

Re: Struggling with Adultwork - Please help!!
I would love it if they put the minimum to at least 1. I charge 1.49/1.99 and I get baffled by some guys that say that's too expensive. I
In regard to the OP and her situation....that site can be difficult to make money on because you really have to get a fan base going. I've also noticed ALOT more women on the site.
When I first joined, there would be around 400-500 women online when I was on and just yesterday it was over 600. The site just doesn't have enough traffic for the amount of workers on there.
Of course like any site, there's ladies that do really well on there. I am not one of them :/ I do alright though.

I don't know about that, I think there is enough traffic, I always send out flirts to new members, there are well over 100 new members an hour joining the site during the busy time. so every day traffic is growing.
during the busy times there are usually just under 700 girls on, that's nothing new.

Re: Struggling with Adultwork - Please help!!
Yes it is new. Until about March there was an average of 340-400 girls on daily and 450-600 on in the evenings. You could count on a VERY consistent income during certain hours.
The real problem however lies with AW not upgrading their server bandwith. I believe JCI offers different levels of service, each of which has a different pricing structure. The (almost) sudden influx of many new girls and each of their associated customers on the server has pushed AW's current package to the limit. The result of which is what we are seeing now - girls being logged off the server, guys not being able to connect, their bandwith suddenly dropping, or multiple guys not being able to enter group chat. That in turn is contributing to those new customers not sticking around. Who would when it takes minutes to load a page and there are so many technical problems.
The site could theoretically handle so much traffic but not as it currently stands.
My income quite literally halved (This is after 3 years of very very consistent income, measured by the hour, day and month) within the space from March until now after 3 webcam documentaries in a row were shown to feature AW. Until then AW was still relatively underground, with the majority of new camgirls starting out on lj, mfc, and streamate. The documentaries have opened AW up to the students, the wannabe glamour models, and the stay at home mins who otherwise would not have known about it.
Sorry for the thread jack but this is an issue I've been analysing for a while.

Re: Struggling with Adultwork - Please help!!
Also, AW spend fuck all on their site and fuck all on advertising.

Re: Struggling with Adultwork - Please help!!
I've never seen so many girls on during the daytime as I have this year...5 pages between 10am and 3pm, it's no joke. A lot more British girls now too and that has to be because of the documentaries. This morning I was disconnected while in paid chat on DirectIM...the site is having a lot of technical difficulties right now.

Re: Struggling with Adultwork - Please help!!
I too am very new to AW and I have been wondering if there is something wrong with my connection, because I get people popping in all day but many leave before I can even say "hello".
I had one guy tell me that my cam looked bad and others telling me it's fine. I've gotten shows during the past 4 days or so that I've been on, but only a few of any decent length. I'm not in the UK but I still do get a lot asking me about escorting (which I do not do and I'm really too far away for it to matter to any of them, so whatever)
Also, only 1 review so far. :(
I'm camming during the day between 8am and 3pm EST and I know that later would maybe be better, but these are the times I am able.
I'm working from a laptop. I've been using wifi. Would it be better to use a wired connection for this site?
I really like the site. Most guys have decent manners and the beggars just leave if you ignore them. (So far) I've only had to ban 1 person in 4 days (for suggesting underage role play, I'm not okay with that) Banning only ONE person is unheard of for me on Cams.com and Streamate, where I basically lived with my finger on BAN.
I only sign into those sites when I want to be verbally abused and trolled on,which is never, so I don't log in to those any longer. lol
My rates are 2 credits for private and 1 for group on AW? I feel like this isn't so bad. Any advice I will happily take. :)
I have a few pictures that I think are okay (free gallery) I don't have anything for sale just yet, but I have been considering selling Erotic stories there. Anyone have any experience with this?
I really want to do well on AW because I literally have hated every other site I've tried.
