Is it just me or are the rates decreasing on AdultWork? I was thinking about signing up there, but noticed girls are doing private shows for 1.00 per minute? Has this always been this way?

I just signed up too and I will probably start tomorrow. I think I read somewhere that you get to keep 65% plus it is in euros. So, of course when it gets converted to US dollar it will be a lot higher. I know $1.00 sounds horrible but if you converted after the percentage is taken out it is way more than what livejasmin or streamate would pay if you were charging $2.49. You would only get $0.87.




When I first joined mine was 1.30 for group and 2.70 for private. I had free chat set up too. People just used to come into my room and talk to me and never take me 2 group/private. Alls they did was bark demands at me to show them (clothed) body parts lol. I sat there for hours and made no money. Then I reduced group to 0.70 and I got back to back group shows. But for some reason AW lets people join group shows on there own??? So I found I was doing "group shows" for ONE person - so they were getting like a private basically at less than half the cost!!!! I don't rreally bother with AW anymore because of this.
Also seems like they take way too much of a cut. I made 79credits and that was worth £55 when I withdrew it. I'm not good at maths but that seems like a big cut to me.





Annie, the group by itself is to invite others to join, its quite normal and nothing to get "annoyed" about?
£55 for 79 credits is too much money. 79 - 35% = £51.35 (WC = £55), go to SM, LJ or MFC and see how much they take from you.
1 credit is not 1 euro, its £1. But that £1 is converted to euros after then into USD.
If you have a well done profile and content you can charge £4-5 for top end privates or £2-3 for high end privates. If your profile is bare with little content then why should someone pay more?
Put the effort in and you will get the rewards, dont put the effort in and you'll just be on the bottom line.
Right now only 2 performing members are under £1 per minute. The rest are above that. Probably about 5% of them below that line. The rom's/lith's etc dont provide much competition for UK/US members on AW so you can easily exclude those from any figures. (although apart from the none free members I have included them in my numbers).

35% overheads for your business is amazing, most rely on the golden 20%. 65% profits is nearly un-heard of in business.
If for instance another self employed business person, eg a plumber. They get a job for £100, they could very well be lucky to go home with £20 after fuel, materials/parts, tax and all that hard grafting labour. Could you imagine his face if you told him his 20% profit will be tripled?




Thanks for the input Jenny! I did not spend much time getting to 'know' adultwork because I kept getting asked... no wait.. TOLD to do escorting by the customers. I don't want to do escorting but the amounts of emails I recieved per day from ignorant people saying "how much do you charge to meet?" even though I wrote in big letters on my profile that I ONLY DO CAMMING... it drove me crazy!!! I have nothing against the site it is just that I did not fit in well there it seems. I make a lot more from MFC so that's where I go mostly.




We all get asked that because it is predominantly an escort site. Just ignore the requests and they get the picture and move on![]()



when you girls get paid does it come on time for AW?




I do well, and i don't escort. Nor do most of the top girls, i think there's only one or two and if you read their profiles they only offer companionship for business trips etc and girl/girl couple shows. The others are famous porn stars/ tv hosts who can charge the max amount.




I'm usually quite good at ignoring them but one day I was in free chat for over an hour and had guys left right and center coming in my room wasting my time telling me "You'd make so much more money escorting" that I got really annoyed because yeah I could probably make a lot of money escorting but it's something I would never do personally because my friend used to do it and sometimes I went to the houses with her when her usual bodyguard was not available and I saw the state of some of the houses, they smelled like pee and poo and I saw tramps on the street that looked cleaner and most were on drugs and it was pretty disgusting. Not to mention she actually ended up in prison one night for being at ones house who was dealing drugs! Also the fact that I think I am worth much more than that!! So yeah I tried to ignore the comments but then all I kept thinking was that these guys were the fat hairy smelly drugified men my friend used to 'visit' and then I could not stay around and do cam shows for them because I felt sick.![]()



My rates actually have increased over time as I've gotten more reviews. I currently charge 1.4 for group and 1.7 for private, and after my next review it'll go up again. I raise it during more profitable times, and lower it for less, so that may be what's going on




Ahh well, more for me![]()







I wish AW's site were more user-friendly and less busy. I find it a total nightmare and have never done anything there, even though I've been approved and even joined daily pay. It's hard for me to explain, but basically the whole site just turns me right off.
tessarubyxoxo: somehow i ended up on SW's homepage.... then i clicked on "forums." & i was in fucking narnia.




I do actually have that written in my tagline LOL. Not because i necessarily think so, but because there is a certain attraction in a girl who believes she is gorgeous. I don't think looks really come into it though, i believe the key to AW is working the UK guys the right way. They need a different approach to the hustle and hard sell of US super cam sites like MFC.
I'm new to AW and I am charging 1.00 for group and 1.50 for private. Is that too much because I feel like I wasn't busy? Maybe I went on at a bad time. It was 1am est. What is a good price to start off at when you are new?




You have to play around with prices and see what fits right for you. Some girls barge right in and charge top dollar, but personally i think that's a bit insulting to the girls that have been there forever and are very successful. Likewise, i don't think you should sell yourself short as some guys believe it or not will not look at you if they think you're too cheap.
