    @ louise. Well if you had read my comments here properly you'd see we were saying the same thing. Stating that I've had issues with glitches is not complaining or moaning about aw, it is discussing with 'colleagues' (as close as most of us can really have in this industry) and something I'm very glad to have the opportunity to do. I don't often have problems, I have good regulars who spend a lot that usually see me through any slow times.. Yes even though I admittedly only cam once in a blue moon! Anyway I don't just sit here and gas about it, I'm working on improving my traffic in order to cultivate new customers right now, another thing I recommended to others in my posts. I'm glad you've stopped being the way you were, you and I used to have good chats but I hated the way you spoke about others and then later about me too. Unfortunately that's not something easily forgotten.

    I joined AW in 2011 as well, it seems to have been a popular year for starting on AW. I emailed AW in 2011 to tell them of the glitches I was experiencing and they told me that there is a disconnection that happens between justcamit and AW but that they haven't been able to find the cause or fix it.

    One of the benefits of working on AW is that we can choose our own hours, some have to work around other commitments and health issues...there is no shame in not working to a fixed schedule, and there are benefits to not working that way.

    Anyone can experience glitches, it doesn't matter how often they cam, we share our experiences here and help each other to figure out what's going on and provide advice and support. We're not here to be talked down to.

    Crikey..that was all a bit nasty. :/ Really disappointing to see this on here. I happen to be one of those who works longer shifts and holds a reasonably consistent schedule, as I''m lucky to have the freedom to do so. I have still had both glitches and less traffic - which has indeed had an impact on my income. I just split, and still do very well. It just takes a bit more effort and I have no shame in saying that.

    Which is mostly what I was getting at.

    I have rubbed a lot of people up the wrong way, some I am sorry about, others not so much, so a lot of time when I do pop up on here my comments get taken the wrong way.

    I'm not going to go into the ins and out of who works consistency and who doesn't but my comments wasn't aimed or meant to be nasty to yourself.

    You can decide to cam every now and again but I will tell you right now you will not make the money the regular works do. That is a fact.

    Like me or not I know adultwork like the back of my hand and I have worked bloody hard to get to where I am now. I know I wouldn't be here if I just hopped on cam as and when.

    Re Katy: I am not saying there is any shame in not working consistently at all I am just saying that I do not believe it will have the outcome money wise that working reg hours will.

    I appreciate we all work our own ways etc and I respect that.

    I see where you're coming from, I really do; perhaps I'm overly diplomatic but I thought it came across as a bit unkind, the way you worded your initial post.

    I've got no idea about any past dramas as I don't post enough and can't keep up with it all, so that's all gone completely over my head.

    I, too, have been shot down over certain threads/posts (I posted a question about non-sexual escorting and was astonished by how I was jumped on for it and hypocrisy of some members); but overall this is a hugely supportive community. I don't think tweeting negatively about it is a great idea, we get enough trolls and hate as it is; and many of us don't have many (or any!) people to chat about this job with in our personal lives. For all its perks, it can be isolating.

    It definitely can be isolating. I love camming and the other things I do but everything I do falls under the 'adult' category and therefore most people I know are not aware of what I do. I can't chat with my friends about my job like most can and I'm sure it's the same for many of you. This forum and others is a great way to interact and support each other but just like life we are not always going to get on.

    I do think that we are all here for the same thing, to be as successful as we can and to get friendship & advice from ladies in the same boat. I love the flexibility I get from what I do and I wouldn't trade it for setting an alarm to work for someone else.

    My camming business is probably less lucrative than it was a year ago so I look for other things I can do to make more money in other ways. AW offers lots of earning potential in different ways and I also think it's good to look elsewhere for income rather than have all eggs in one basket, albeit a very good basket!

    I suppose I'm really still learning the business, only been on AW since last summer so a newbie compared to many. I for one enjoy the chat on here and long may it continue!

    I don't think people have taken things the wrong way...no one likes being regarded as the source of another person's amusement, we weren't trying to be funny, we were sharing our experiences.

    Noone likes to have their experiences invalidated.

    Once again you are spouting complete nonsense. What makes sense to you in your experience doesn't constitute 'fact', only your opinion. You're not only being completely dismissive here but you're wrong. Yes sometimes I work longer now to make the same as before, but i have always been able to count on making at least a certain amount (which is more than you mentioned before) and that is without being remotely consistent. I don't WANT to do this full time thank you very much (and some cannot), who the hell are you to say we 'should'? If you want to work all day every day on the same site/a couple of sites that's fine, go ahead, but please don't come on here acting as if you know better than everybody else because you don't. The rest of us are busy hustling other avenues besides camming or besides just one or two camsites because we understand the concept of working smarter.

    I appreciate we all work our own ways etc and I respect that.

    As an American Using AW I might as well give up because I've been battling with them and their old shitty outdated website for the past couple of months in preparation to use it for the new year when I start releasing content... But every time I log in every now and then I have sms chat, phone, cam, etc... I log in today and I see I only have Sms chat and of course ability to upload videos and photosets. But like fuck, I checked my login history and I forgot I left my VPN on and I had it set to Texas and I live up north... So I wonder if that had something to do with it? But this would be my damn near 7th time e-mailing them in general, but like 3rd time about my services being disabled

    Aw is very strict when it comes to using VPN, they have it big on their TOS that no model should use VPN to change location, so yes, it could be why.

    Annoyed to see the 2 cammers of the day today on front page do not even fucking do webcam, obviously a cheaper way to advertise as escort on front page. Pisses me off. Also misleading if a guy wants webcam and I thought AW frowned upon ladies who say they do stuff when they don't. End of moan!

    I started to cam on Adultwork in the early 2000s, the days before directcam. Then they launched directcam and my earnings went throught the roof. I only occasionally cam now as I work doing something else but like to be on a few cam sites so if for some reason I cant work my regular job, I have something else I can do as a fallback. There have definately been glitches, I am on a state of the art computer, with fibre optic connection wired in, the fastest you can get, and people a few weeks ago were unable to connect to my room, it is still happening on and off, so there absolutely are problems. No problems with skype shows though.

    I dont think it is the economy that caused a downturn on there, I think that Adultwork desperately needs to update their site and software out of the early 2000's when I look at the competition to them, I am blown away at how much better they are.
    Also in the early days, nothing was for free, you had to pay, and I knew girls making a great living just doing topless teasing. Now you can watch it for free on most sites, and many more girls are working on cam. It is much harder to make money. I think it can be lucrative still, but to make the big money you have to have your face everywhere on your advertising, be prepared to be viewed for free, appear on porn tube sites, and set regular (long) hours. I really admire girls who can do all that I lasted about 1 hour on streammate before I lost the will to live doing free, so now occasionally skypes on Adultwork, and my regular job keep me happy.

    I'm not personally convinced that appearing on Tube Sites would benefit an individual performer & I'm not convinced appearing everywhere is going to make money - I'd be concerned about becoming over exposed. Once they've seen it then they've seen it kind of thing.

    The Lady that posted with the 65 .000 Twitter followers has only 7 feedback for the last 14 days. I'd expect putting over 10 hours a day & all that Twitter exposure should generate more than 7 feedback in 14 days but then what would I know - I'm one of these only cam once a blue moon!

    You're right though AW admit themselves the site is sometimes glitch like the time I got stuck in Direct IM over night - I couldn't log off & they said that was a glitch.

    I really I'd have discovered Cam years ago before everyone got on to it - I bet it was amazing back then. I wouldn't of had a clue though - I didn't send my 1st email till 2008 - I had no interest in the internet at all back then. I wish I did though

    This is a very good point and something I have always struggled with as I do not show my face except for on cam and occasionally on my main profile picture (heavily edited so google images cannot identify it). I do well when I am actually ON cam but bringing in new customers is always harder for this reason. I see girls willing to show their face everywhere absolutely zoom past me in terms of social media following, free chat into paid conversions, clip sales etc. It's a tough compromise but one i have to stick to because i do not want my face plastered out there forever. Free chat isn't so terrible on sites like SM and MFC btw, guys there understand that they eventually need to tip or pay in some way. On AW the culture is different though so i don't feel free chat is very useful at all although i know others who would disagree.

    Re tube sites guys did you know you can actually get PAID and increase your fans on there? It's not something i do, but if you do happen to have a lot of vids of yourself out there on tube sites, absolutely hit them up to make an account and get those vids transferred over to yourself so you can get credit and payment for them. There's a couple of threads on here about it re pornhub and xvideos x

    They want to be sure that you live where you say you. This is also why they ban anyone using a VPN, we have to be in the country that we state we are in.

    Porn privatisation - "How the government has given the shady company that controls the majority of free porn tube sites carte blanche to take over completely." "By dint of age verification, the government has essentially decided to abdicate responsibility for its own process by deferring to third-party corporate interests," he says. "The result, I suspect, is that MindGeek will choose, and eventually buy, the dominant age-verification product. This is basically a license to print money." https://www.vice.com/en_uk/article/9...-going-to-like

    I think there might be a Direct Chat glitch & I've messaged admin to let them know. Tonight I had a caller tell me he couldn't call me as he was getting a message that my Direct Chat was engaged when it definitely wasn't. I re-set my Direct Chat and he was able to get through then.

    It might be best to re-set your Direct Chat once you've finished a call just in case.

    There is no mention of VPN in the new TOU. You will find it in the help section & it is not permitted in conjunction with JCI. I use VPN just not whilst camming on the cam beast.

    I think it's only strictly enforced in the States. They made me go through the hassle of signing up with some people so they can "monitor" me since I'm in a high risk country (U.S.) But I mean my options to do Sms, phone, and cam were fucking up before I started using VPN. I just think Adult work has it out for me lmao
