    Default AW Makes me mad... with the average price range

    Cause all these girls charge soooooo little and it makes the standards cheap.. come on .60 cents a min to 1.25 is average.. that just sucks I mean dont they realize their worth more then that?? Sometimes I feel like I have to follow or be left out.. I know its Pounds vs. any other currency that its switching for you.. but British Girls or any girls cant be worth dimes and nickles.. Cant we all just get together and raise the standard?? or am I just in my own happy wishful world?? lol just had to vent my thoughts

    We could petition AW to raise the minimal price from 60p to a pound?

    The issue isn't so much the British girls, although £1 a minute racks up pretty speedily, but the Romanian (and other) studios that set the rates so low.

    On the other hand, $3.99 a minute on SM earns a brit £0.88, vs £1.49 a minute netting us £0.96 on AW.

    AW is full of British ladies logging on to make a little extra cash.... they're not all pro-cammers so anything above minimum wage (£5.85 an hour or there abouts) is considered pretty handy.

    There is a very Anti-Studio feeling among the customers on AW. The handhumpers there want amature girls from the UK or USA.
    There was talk in a newsletter of raising the minimal price to 0.90 instead of 0.60 but nothing ever came of that.
    Looks like now would be a good time to persue it. if anybody has any ideas how?

    I've tried to raise my group show price but it doesn't seem to get me shows. I hate that but seems they aren't willing to pay more on there.

    Anytime I try to go above 1.60 GBP my traffic slows down BAD.

    This bothers me a lot too.

    I charge over 2.00 on there and will not go lower than what I am. At the end of the day is up to an individual what they're comfortable with. It's when you start allowing yourself to inch down past your own natural boundaries that you are way more likely to burn out or get depressed in the job.

    I am still cheaper on AW than I am ANYWHERE else on the web, and this is still true even if I include cuts and fees.

    Across the board I think the average rate on AW is still too low.

    As to whether I think my price affects my traffic...it's possible.... I don't do out of this world awesome on AW, but I do well enough for me to keep the price where it is. When I work AW though, I do work it with 2 other sites concurrently, and honestly, if AW was busier than what it is for me I wouldn't be able to handle it, as I give sites where I will earn more the priority, obviously. On days I work it, I'm usually happy enough with the amount it contributes to my goal.

    All this being said, the two times I've worked AW for a couple of hrs each this week, including today, it's been stone cold dead. I have no idea why, each time I do upload a couple of pics, to make sure I'm up the list a bit. But I don't think it's to do with the pricing.... it was just fine up until this week. I've also noticed there are more girls above 2.00 than I'm used to seeing, so actually many are similar.

    Yeah i finally got my JCI to work today and in the time Ive been on everyone has been super flackey and I havnt gotten a single show in an hour. I was like "What are all these girls ON about???" Can you actually make sales without using the free chat???
    Ok I have 2 hours until my doctor's appt, so Im am just going to sit and wait. No free chat, and just see what happens. Also because it's my first day my rates are loooow. At 60p for group and 1GBP pvt.

    Good idea! I need to put a few together so I can save them up and upload them one at a time when it gets quiet.

    I usually do just fine without freechat. I've rarely done it and I dont find I make any more sales out of it and just have to deal with freeloaders.
    At that price you should DEF be having people coming through, but I dont know, AW just seems so quiet today.

    I'm so glad someone brought this up. I've really comfortable with my pace on AW - good traffic with a fair number of privates - but it feels like my rate should be higher. I'm just under 2 credits a minute.

    The crazy thing is that a while back I bumped my rate to exactly 2 - just the tiniest tweak - and my traffic dropped off a cliff. Maybe it was a low traffic time or a bad day, but it definitely seemed like the rate bump was causing it. It just seems crazy that people are charging $5 a minute on SM with no problem, but charging 3 GBP on AW seems like traffic suicide.

    I think some of this problem is that AW was established as a place where nothing is taboo, even though they have (on paper at least) changed the rules now.
    Many other sites you cannot pee, fist, puke, poopy, ageplay, ect ect.
    AW did not have these restrictions.
    You can get a pretty much no-taboos show on there for a decent price. You can meet and fuck your favorite girls if they offer that service.

    If you just offer a standard show of: pretty girl stripping and playing with toys, then you are up against some Ladies who offer a whole range of fetishes, taboos, specialties, and no-limits hardcore action.
    AW is not for the faint-hearted and the guys expect a lot of bang for their buck.
    If you are like me and only offer pretty nudity and pussy-toys, then you have to face you are on the bottom layer of a very exciting pyramid where very little is forbidden.
    With that being said, I do well on there. Or, I think I do. PrincessJenny would know!

    I rarely make anything on AW before 3PM PST or 11PM UK. 3PM-7PM is definitely my busy time on there. I do free chat most of the time but I think I'm gonna start fazing it out, because there have been times I've logged on to paid chat and made BANK... literally private after private after private. It's not always like that, though.

    Aria, don't give up on AW. It was pretty slow for me in the beginning but now it's my favorite site to cam on. There seem to be very few minute men, most privates last at LEAST 5-10 minutes and there are plenty of fetish guys who like to go private for an hour or more.

    I'm still in the signing up/verification process at AW... What's a pretty standard price for a group and private show? What does one credit translate to and how much do you get out of each credit? Thank you in advance!

    I charge £1.30 for group and £3.00 for private. 0.99p for my gallery.
    You KEEP 65% of your directcam show fees, and 70% of your movies, private gallery and msn/yahoo/skype booking fees.

    One credit is one pound sterling, roughly 1.58 usd.
    Hope this helps.

    You have to open the shop door to let the customer come in! And dont by shy to raise your price! No need to charge minimal fees because you are new! Dudes love new girls, set it a bit higher to start off with!
    GOOD LUCK!

    Okay, I had a post all typed out, but that problem I'm having with the cursor on the screen fucked up my message again.

    Basically, I was gonna say that today sucked for me on AW too.

    A guy in chat the other day told me that I should make some videos, because he would definitely pay to see them. He also mentioned that peak times on AW are 8 pm - 12 am UK time (which is 3 pm - 7 pm on my time). I actually did log on for part of those times tonight and got nada. I'm gonna do more with my profile though and consider making vids, even though I can't guarantee I'll cum. Do guys get pissed off if you don't cum in your vid?

    But then there are those guys who ask to see it...lol.

    To tell you the truth, those guys who are that picky that you MUST make yourself cum for them.....they can kiss my ass, because it's actually a surprise to ME when I do cum. If a guy sees me cum on cam, he should consider himself lucky...lol. They need to just be excited to have a hot girl fucking herself and moaning and whatnot...regardless of whether she cums or not. Guys who are like "Why not, bb?" (about not cumming) need to just get over it.
