    Default Quick adult work question

    Hi all! So I am starting on Adult work this evening, and the site seems slightly confusing but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it. My question is, do I just log on, and wait for people to contact me? I have a bunch of stuff to do tonight while I am camming so I can't turn on free chat, am I likely to get as many custies if I am not in free chat? As long as I make my profile look nice and interesting?
    I'm just asking because the format is very different to MFC where I usually hang out!

    yeah, I'd still use the justcamit software if you can, and if you go into justcamit settings (edit profile, webcam, justcamit settings) then you can select group and private but not free chat. I, personally, do not get that many msn/yahoo etc show requests on adultwork, so would recommend using justcamit as well. You will definitely get shows through justcamit and you have to click a box to let the guys in to your room, so you won't get caught unawares! (it gives an alert sound so you can get on with your other stuff)
    The best advice I can give you for AW is to note that under the 'help' section they have a 'site map' feature - which I use ALL the time

    Have fun!

    Thanks so much Becky! So i didnt manage to get on there tonight, but I am just confused about one or two other things...
    1) Is directcam used just for free chat? And justcamit only for privates or groups? Or what exactly is the difference between the two?
    2)How does a group show on Adultwork come about? Like, do they buy a certain amount of time, how many members have to request group?
    3) Would between £1-1.50 be an acceptable price to charge?
    4) How on earth does the whole msn/skype jazz work?? Do they pay me for the show and then I give them my details?

    Sorry for all these retarded questions....thatks for the info about the site map...I still feel horribly confuzzled though... I'm slow. x x x

    justcamit is the software that you use for directcam, so they are basically the same thing, just different names. you can have free chat on or off depending on your preference

    group show starts as soon as one guy selects 'group show' from your profile and they don't have to buy a certain amount of time (unless you set it for special offers but that's a bit more complicated and you don't need to know bout it straight away) sometimes you'll have a group show with just one guy, other times other guys will join in (once the first guy selects group the others can see that you're already doing group show)

    yes, your pricing sounds fine

    yeah, the msn etc shows they pay in advance and you get a notification. The site then gives them your msn etc addy as soon as they've confirmed. Be aware, they have to buy the show, then you have to accept, then they have to CONFIRM - you won't get paid unless they confirm so make sure they do this before you turn your cam on.

    It is very confusing at first - but you'll get the hang of it pretty quick. Enjoy!

    re pricing, go and look at what others are charging - you might find you want to charge a bit more

    I have a question. I am waiting to get approved for camming (they rejected my first set of documents) and realized that you can also just do Direct IM, which is chat with no video. I am assuming you have to do either Direct IM or Direct Cam, but cannot offer both at the same time?

    Also I keep reading that guys will get kicked out of free chat a fter 3 mintues (which is awesome) but then what is this option?

    I will cam & chat for free (clothed, to entice viewers to go private) and then you can pick max free time per client? The smallest amount is 5 minutes. How is that different than the 3 minute thing?

    although it says 5 minutes, it actually works in three min chunks - so a guy will be able to come in for three mins, then will get automatically booted out, then he can come in for another two mins

    I don't know for sure, but I too think that you can only do either direct IM or direct cam and not both at same time

    There is only one setting for offering either IM or cam. Whichever this is set to is the one that is used. Cant offer both at the same time sorry. But you can offer IM on AW and cam on another site.

    In freemode a guy can view you for up to 3 minutes at a time (15 clients max) then he is logged out for 30 seconds and can re-enter. The 5minutes option means 5 minutes within eg an hour. So he could login 5 times for 1 minute each before his hourly allowance is used up.


    If you have the "within any period" set to unlimited he can login and out for his 3 minutes all day.

    Freemode generally does not do well for most performers on AW **

    I don't like free chat, and don't ALWAYS use it, but in my opinion, it has helped me get a good amount of customers. I guess I don't mind it as much since we are able to put time limits on how long they stay.

    I would try both and see which one works best for you. As it can always be easily changed back.

    I've only used free chat so far and it's worked great for me. For those that don't use it, how many shows/privates can you expect to get? I would turn it off and just read/watch tv in between shows but I'm afraid I really won't get very many privates until I'm more established on the site.

    Another adult work question, do they automatically watermark your pics and videos or do we do it ourselves? And if we do it ourselves can we only use our adultwork URL?

    Thanks!

    Maybe we should submit our own FAQ section to them after everyone here has answered all the questions so they can have it on one page

    I noticed they put adultwork.com on the top of our profile pics. But I'd still like to link my adult work profile at least because of file sharing.

    I actually have another questions too. Say I offer both webcam, and seperately phone chat. When I log in can I choose which service I want to offer. Like maybe sometimes I want to offer both, but need to turn off phone chat during a private, so I don't get a call. Or I don't feel like getting prettied up, so I want to log in and show I am doing phone chat only?

    you can chooses to have phone or wcam on and both at the same time, but will have to chance taking calls while in a private or if youre in the uk you can send a text to say phone off.

    i use free chat limited to 5mins within a 24hr period. my group is 1.50 and private 2.50 and i do just fine with the fetish boys tonight ive had a guy be my "dog at my feet" in group, watching my feet and talking about what a good puppy he is all night and then waiting for me to come out of privates to continue watching my feet in group

    in regards to pricing. you can always raise prices but it looks bad if you lower your prices because theyre too high.

    When I look at everyone elses prices, mine are high at just 1.50G/2.50P - some girls are doing 60/80!?

    I dont care, everytime Im on cam, I hit my target and more, and it gives me a chance to promote my private gallery which starts at 10 credits for 24hrs
