    Default First Day on Adultwork; Not Great Moneywise...

    I have been on this board for a few years but needed to change my username because some of my friends know it and I wanted to keep camming a secret. On Monday I decided to put in a full day camming on adultwork; I have recently lost my job and really need this for now in place of a pay check (I live alone and only me to depend on) I was on from 9:00 am to 5:30 pm with an hour break for lunch at 12 = 7.5 hours. My total amount made after their cut was $194.00. So that comes out to about 25 dollars an hour. This is with being around 6 from the top when search for most popular/views. I'm not saying that's horrible but I was disappointed. Camming takes a TON of energy (as you guys know) because you are constantly trying to people please on free cam, direct cam etc.. physical and sexual energy etc.. My rates that day were 1.0 credits for group and 1.25 for private. Although I had many privates and group there seemed to be a LOT of guys who would enter and leave right away. I feel like the most losses I had that day were:

    1.) guys who rejected me immediately (note I don't have a bad face or anything; the guys who stayed in my room made many compliments stunning blah blah )

    2.) setting my private and group rates too low because the guys really expect you to get naked right away and it seems like umm they were done immediately after I did so. (at least in group)

    3.) not knowing how to keep people in private long enough to actually make the most from each customer.

    I know that this is not an extremely LOW hourly but I am in shape, breast implants, stripper-type look, I am also american and I thought the UK guys really like this.

    For me personally I need to make a camming rate of at least $45 an hour to make all of this energy it takes to cam worth it and also because I live alone with high rent and I really need health insurance ..(not married)
    Will I get there or is this first day amount a good indicator of my potential?

    If it was your 1st day, id say you did pretty good!
    Just be patient, log on often, when guys get to know what kind of show you do, what times you are on, you will get a following and you will make alot more money . I am trying AW aswell and im going to give it some time, get online often, sell clips, images, and be constantly updating my gallery and profile!

    You did well, but honestly I can't make enough with just one site running. I live in an expensive area and need to make a lot per hour also. You may be able to though if you are doing that well as a beginner and you can build up fans.

    Today was my slowest day since I started doing adultwork, I made like...23 $ in 2 hours and ended up logging off because I decided it's better not to get annoyed and try to work a bit during the day today. Does AW has any daytime traffic, btw?

    To OP, I wouldn't worry yet. I've been working on AW only for a couple of weeks and I'm averaging around 30$ per hour every day so far (except today, which sucked). I'm working with inbuilt camera and no sound (yeah, I know, I know, but I couldn't afford anything yet, I'll upgrade my cam) and seriously look nothing spectacular. I imagine if you have wowza looks and good cam that you'll be doing good. And probably splitcam, like laurielegs said...

    When I started, it was similar for me on AW. Some people took me private and left after a couple of minutes, if even that. It was hilarious and mildly annoying having to hook and unhook my bra, over and over. There were some long privates, but relatively few compared to now. I think that's because when you start out, you don't have any feedback, or very little feedback, so many guys just want to check you out for future reference.

    Once my feedback started to build up, I started to get better guys in my room and more privates, some of them insanely long. Now, for me, it's mostly regulars with a handful of newcomers each day.

    Be sure to be nice to everyone, including the 2.5-minute types. I've had a few who've taken me private in the beginning when they only had a couple of credits left to their account, just to check me out, then return when they re-upped for a long private.

    I'd also experiment with the hours.

    Daaah for real is it slow this week? I had a bad last week on there, so I've been off there for a few days, planning on getting back on there today.


    To the OP, that's not bad AT ALL for your first day! There will always be "peekers" and people who come in and out, especially in you don't do free chat. I don't get totally naked in the first couple of mins for that reason- weed them out so to speak. And then if they leave, well I consider it just a couple of bucks for standing up and doing a tease. DEFINITELY don't take it personally if they go in and out. Most are just buffet guys, going from one room to another and that's their nature. It's not a rejection to you.
    You will most certainly hear and have worse from customers if you cam for any length of time lol.

    I was online for 4+ hours today and only made $80. Not THAT bad I guess, considering I did paid chat and spent most of that time laying on my bed watching Youtube videos. It did seem a bit slow though.

    ...Yeah, but peak hours.. you really have to catch them on AW
    it's dead, otherwise.


    I like the morning wood shift, and then the 11-4

    I never am up for the morning wood shift, but if I am working another site into the wee hours of the night and am not too tired, it's totally worth it to log into AW.

    I wish I did it more often, but lately I seem to work 3PM - 8PM central...

    Okay, I've been curious about this, because I'd like to put in some morning/daytime hours when I can't be on at the AW rush hours. When is the morning wood shift, british time?

    from what i read, 25 an hour is very good for a cam girl! i dont think you are gonna make stripper money as a cam girl unless you put in a TON of effort promoting yourself

    btw were you doing free chat the entire time? maybe you should try doing group and private only?
    you can get sooooo much done around the house while you wait for a private chat. then again if you NEED the money maybe its best to have free chat open

    btw what determines what order you show up in in the listings?

    Hi guys, a big THANK YOU to everyone that took the time to respond and give their own advice!

    @CamWhore: Ok you’re right I totally over-reacted; I think it was because I spent all of those 8 hours in free chat so in my mind I was thinking there needed to be more $$$ for dealin with those guys. Oh and yeah you can borrow $3 dollars anytime

    @Laurielegs: I live in an expensive area too-it’s like hmm I need to make $4,000 a month and still just be getting by...(LA)

    @MistyRose: you must be hot to be able to get away with no sound! But you should definitely get one of those microphones that just plugs into the side of your computer, they are $14 dollars at Office Depot. A bunch of times in free chat a guy would ask me to sorta prove I’m American and as soon as I said hi, the private chat request would pop up. Lol some guy left me feedback that said “you can cum from her voice alone” FYI- I have the WORST valley girl accent you have ever heard..

    @lagirl:I was doing free chat the whole time so it totally felt like a long work day! I am gonna try just waiting till I get a private or group and see if that’s easier. Regarding the listings: I think you can sort according to ratings, views and last updated; PrincessJenny said in a different thread that doing/not doing freechat also impacts it somehow. the last time I checked I wasn’t near the top anymore; it changes fast-english men are fickle (lol)
