    You have to have patience Cant put it down to the old saying "if it doesnt pick up today then f*ck it!" cause tomorrow could be the big one!

    You can PM me your username/profile link for AW and I can give you hints on how to bring the guys in for there. Im not sure what your profile is like at the moment but I have seen performers who put up about 10 pics, some text then expect to make money, while the other performer has hundreds of pics, alot of text and maybe even movies People can sometimes put little effort in and expect alot in return.

    Just saying in general for any AW performer to read and improve on as I havent seen yours yet

    Are you getting on during reasonable uk times? I find that I get the most traffic after 3pm est. That's 8pm uk time, so I assume people in the uk work 9 to 5's like here in the states. They get home settle in and log on the computer to look at cam girls by 8. Try staying logged on all day to see what time works best for you. Also read the help section on AW. It really is informative in helping you improve on traffic. Some guys come to my chat room and tell me "hey I just read your blog" or "I love the new pics" How many pics do you have in the free and private section? Don't just give up because it is a good site with a high pay out. I almost gave up on it too, but I am so glad I didn't. I actually need to catch up because I have been doing some serious chillin since Thanksgiving lol.

    Your right. I find that the more pics I take, and the more I update blogs, the more traffic I get. I also am going to write some erotica, have panties for sale, and get some videos up there. The traffic is there, but we still have to promote ourselves to get the guys to bite the bait. That site is like a buffet. They have so much to choose from and might not stop if you don't have many pics or info.

    Also to help US performers the online version of Justcamit here now has a UK clock above it so you can always tell straight away what time it is without working it out

    Sorry to keep posting but I just thought of another thing. Do you have any feedback yet? You may want to try lowering your rate to get traffic. Try to get someone to leave you feedback. That will definitely help too.

    Ah yeh forgot about that 1!

    Guys have a thing about screening the performers before spending their childrens inheritance on them so try get some feedback.

    When chatting with a client you can mention, "If you leave me some feedback I will give you the password to my private gallery for a day"

    also, if you leave feedback first, that sometimes encourages them to leave it for you

    you can always 'respond'
    I've only ever had one guy do that, and I don't think it was for 'no reason' - he actually left a 'neutral' comment which just said 'nice girl' over 2 weeks after the session. I think he had genuinely forgotten about the session and just wanted to leave 'something'. It did really annoy me because he had actually given me a £10 tip at the end of the show, so I knew he wasn't unhappy with my show. But, I don't think it's a regular occurrence for guys to leave negative feedback for no reason.
    Touch wood!!! (hoping I haven't jinxed myself!)

    Leaving feedback first helped me. I had two guys thank me for leaving feedback. They did it in return.

    I guess I have to keep in mind the time (single mom early evenings and late afternoons are hard) also I have 18-20 pics no movies yet

    I haven't put in a ton of hours on AW yet but every time I've logged on I've done reasonably well. I think it's because my rates are low and I stay in free chat mode the whole time. Maybe try that?

    ALSO... I always update my profile and/or upload a new pic before I go online because I think AW ranks models on the 'webcam' page by who updated their profiles last... I THINK that's the case, if not then I'm just trippin.

    I ranted a few weeks ago about cam networks and traffic and such but don't give up girlie - in time you'll build up your client base.

    Times are tough for everyone and with so much free adult content online AND free webcam models even nowdays it's hard but if you present yourself as an exclusive and quality model it'll be OK.

    I wish you the best.

    How rude of me...I looked at Smurfette's post and just blurted out my question here, hijacking your thread without saying a single word to you. I'm sorry.

    Don't give up! Invest some more time and effort on AW (I'm gonna do my best, from what the girls say it seems awesome). If it really, REALLY doesn't work, at least you're gonna know you did your best and you didn't miss a great chance because you didn't feel like being bothered with it. Good luck.

    Right now I'm charging .60/group and 1.00/private. That might be too low for some, but I don't mind it because I'm getting a lot of traffic and building a clientbase... and still making more per minute than the cut I get from Streamate. I will increase my prices once I upload more pics & videos and get more reviews.

    Lots of paying traffic counts the most! That's a good way to get started too.

    I'm a total beginner camming and I think it's more reasonable to charge lower prices at first, until I get more confident and improve my webcam, outfits etc. I was thinking 0.70-1.20, but perhaps your prices are better to start with.

    Thanks, doll!

    I agree that spending the time to learn your way around AW and building an interesting profile will pay off. I'm just getting started on there myself.

    Smurfette - can I PM you about getting JustCamIt Lite to work on a Mac? I'm having a hell of a time.

    There will be times when you log on streamate and you won't make $14 in 5 minutes. are you going to make another post then complaining how streamate as slow and your going to give up doing webcam work.

    This something that takes consistency from you, and being able to know not everyday is going to be $14 in 5 minutes. sometimes it can be less or other days it can be more.

    but if you work everyday at the same time or various times in the day but do it daily your pay week will pay off big. but it starts with you being consitent.

    Yeah, consistency counts. If I put in consistent hours each week then I KNOW I will always have a decent paycheck even if one or two days were dead... my problem is that I'll have a great day, be so excited, then the next day SUCKS and I lose my motivation to get on cam again because I assume it'll just be slow again. The key is to IGNORE that and work anyways but it's hard sometimes...

    Having said that, I've been on AW for well over an hour and not made ANYTHING. Time to turn on Splitcam and try Streamate simultaneously.
