    Thanks.

    I'm thinking I don't want to work with a company who actually accused me of submitting a fake license. It's insane. I mean, if I were going to do that I'd shave a ton of years off my age lol!

    I used to send them traffic from my website and my customers gave me awesome ratings. Their loss. I need to concentrate more on Streamate anyway and quit being lazy with not working my free chat more.

    OMG, there are BRITISH women (confirmed in Nationality etc) charging 60p (0.60 creds) per minute for Group out there tonight And they're getting shows.

    I know we don't (shouldn't) place high emphasis on prices, but this is pretty disheartening overall. Brits charging the same (and less) than EE studios.

    They are probably IN a studio. There's always been british internet pimps who advertise on gumtree and backpage £50 per day or whatever for "models". Those women are then stuck in the studio and have no idea what site(s) they are on, and the manager has complete control of everything including rates. The other possibilities are that they are using a VPN (against the rules) which is showing their location as british when it isn't really, or they've accidentally left their IM prices up.

    Judging by the comment about "viewing it from the clients perspective" on the recent Q & A on AW forum, I would not be surprised in the slightest if AW are now actively discriminating against british/higher priced models in favour of the studios. While it is still my favourite site, I do not trust the management at all anymore.

    TRUE TRUE TRUE. Didn't actually think about your first para. And your second para makes sense, especially when you/we get a "profile warning" (in "My Details") saying your rates are too high when it's anywhere above £1/1 cred.

    I too love AW, but not for the income these days

    Just before I logged off I looked at the prices of those in group and they were mostly very low prices - under 99p a minute. There were still a couple of higher rate in private but it was cheap cheap cheap. Could be because it's been so slow?

    They are a studio - misleadingly called "independent girls" outed on here a couple of years ago. Report the profiles individually as fakes - if you look you'll see the pictures are of different girls as they use the same accounts over and over.

    Well, guys, u need to see that many girls not from UK, have a currency much lower than pounds, so in my country 1pound is 5 reais (my currency), so anything i make, its counted 5x. Im not sure if u can make a profile saying u are from UK when u are not, maybe in romania or whatever. But if u can, then a lot of girls from other countries are saying they are from UK coz this way they think they are making more money. Not sure, correct me anyone if im wrong.
    Anyway my point of view these days is: if u are not making shit, its better to make a penny or 2. I rarely go on directcam but when i do, i charge 1.50 group and 2 for private, and many times ive seen my rate as very low compared to others. In case i need the money badly, i would go to 1 and 1.5, less than that is too low to show on cam all dressed in fancy outfits, make up and hair done...lol

    You can`t make a profile saying you are in the UK or another country when you are not. They ask for a proof of you living there, as pics of you on the street, with street name in view and today`s newspaper, stuff like that.
    Also VPN can not be used , so you can`t fake location.
    Foreigners are not meant to have nicknames stating they are from the UK but allowed to use " IN THE UK".
    They are very strict.

    I get what you`re saying about conversion rate, where I live, a pound is x6 and a dollar x4, and everything is cheaper, from cigarettes to rent.

    so im wrong to assume they could be from other countries and yes, i remember that proof of where u live, eve if i didnt have to do it coz i sent my passport which stated im in brasil allright. Just for the record, a pound in brasil worths 5x and a dollar 3.40.
    So i guess, for us, not americans or english, anything x5 or x 3, 4, is very good. I even saw some girls complaining about slow days, and yes if u make 78 pounds and spend 78 pounds ok its slow, but if u make 78 in a slow day and multiply that by 5, im making decent amount of money in my country. All depends on the perspective right?

    No, you CAN'T make a profile (verified) stating you're in/from UK, and that really was part of my point. I have absolutely no problem with ladies doing what they have to do to earn their rent. Please don't think that I was hating on them.

    Low rates are for bonga cams or live jasmin. AW guys are used to higher rates and there is no reason at all not to charge them. You're missing out big time if you're not taking advantage of that. The key is regulars, marketing, and standing out from the crowd. Don't give up at the first hurdle or settle for less.

    Yeah. The days I make let's say 100 $ ,that will be like 400 in my currency, after atm exchange rate and fees I'll still have 370 left. Which, for me is good, especially that minimum salary here is about 300$ a month. And....I don't pay taxes. So everything I make is mine. In some other places we don't have such big rent or bills like in the Uk for example, some will cost but for example while most of you pay a lot for inernet I pay like 11$ for 30 external upload. With my expenses I can afford to stay at 1,5/ min on aw. And I splitcam so I can charge whatever.

    I have higher rates on SM and I put more effort in SM, AW being a side site.I wouln't charge so little on SM but on AW as I don't put a lot into it and I don't offer much I think my rates are fair.

    You don't pay taxes? Is this a *thing* for your country/state for self employed etc?

    I never know what to charge on AW. I think after seeing how low some people charge, I'm paranoid to raise it. There's so much that I like about AW but never seem to make much on it and part of me thinks if I raise it, I'll make even less.

    I didn't register as self employed. A lot of my nationals cam but maybe 1% will register. I don't get any money thru bank so I don't show up anywhere as being paid. No one is forcing me to register and if I don't appear to have a business or being employed somewhere, no taxes to pay.

    Camming doesn't show anywhere as a business or profession, if wanting to register it will come under different names like computer operator, customer service, sales online, model in a model shop and so on.
    I can't explain any better.

    The plus is that I get to keep all the money, the minus is that I don't have health insurance, nor could apply for a mortgage, won't get a pension when I'm old and so on.
    Even if I want to register they will make it hard for me, instead of just taking my money as they should they make it complicated to register.I cant get arsed to deal with our system unless I will need to.

    You won't know unless you try.
    What others charge doesn't matter, try to find your sweet spot. If others charge high or low it doesn't mean you should too. Charge what you are comfortable charging and what brings you money.

    I tried higher and wasn't making a dime, but others can make a lot by charging more.

    When I make a big change, it works well for the first month but then it slows down back to normal again. You'll have different customers and different prices...I lose regulars when I go above 2.50 but I feel more satisfied in myself when I see how much I've earned. You do a show, you look at how many credits that earned you, how do you feel about it? I have tried offering really cheap group...I was bored of just sitting there with no shows and simply wanted to be busy...it worked very well, I was paid for ages, which meant more and more guys coming in and I made a lot more than usual...but again that only lasted only about a month and I went back up to where I felt comfortable. Just play with it...

    On Monday there was 6 pages of girls online...this is the most I've ever seen during the daytime (10.30am-2.30pm). It was only 3 pages when I first started. Reading the comments about UK girls charging low prices...I wonder if a load of new UK girls have joined recently through studios. I don't remember seeing another cam programme recently to account for the influx.

    Over £3 is best but nothing stopping you going higher. When it seems slow on AW it is rarely down to your rates, although I have seen the opposite can be true for those with very cheap rates where sometimes this puts people off as they are perceived as giving a bad show.

    Please read the thread I linked above, it will give you the inspiration and courage to see beyond the "I'm not worth it" mentality.

    Web camming is a LUXURY, and like sports massage or designer clothes those with money to spend will buy it. Your job is to be in the right place at the right time so that they buy it from you. Web camming success is more about your ability to make yourself visible and then retain your customers, than being cheaper than the model next to you. While this tactic may help to snag the guy who is quickly passing through looking to get off asap, that's not guaranteed, and it's not the smartest way to do business either.

    Work smarter not harder. YOU are the only limit to your own success!

    You are absolutely right. My choices lately seem to be based on being panicky. "I haven't made anything in an hour! I better go jump on another site" "OMG! I haven't made much! Maybe my price is too high!".....the end result is usually low paycheck and anxiety because I wasn't calm enough to put my full effort into a site.

    I will definitely read that link. Thanks

    seen as we're on the topic of pricing, for my webcam shows I'll be using my laptops inbuilt webcam (for now, until I can afford to invest in a good one) and I probably wont be offering audio at first (anxiety issues mean the idea of doing so makes me panicky, I'll build up to offer it) so I'm guessing I should have my rates slightly lower to reflect that?

    I have read ur link, and i will give a go on the fee thing. I used to charge for phone only 1pound/ min,i went to 3. Lets see.
    On cam i went from cam only from 1.5 to 2 and cam and phone from 2.3 to 3.
    Just on directIM that im thinking if i should raise my fees as its text only. i charge 0.70 grp and 0.99 prvt.
