    Default First Night On AW With Zero Success - Am I Too Boring/Vanilla?

    Hey Girls,

    First of all I wanted to say a huge thanks for all the cam girls here sharing their advice. I love this forum!

    I was a dancer for 2 years but right now I live in a place where I can't dance so I've decided to get extremely good at camming.

    So last night I had my first night on AW, I was on about 2-3 hours. I had quite many guys come into my room and talk to me, but I was very shy so I didn't talk, but typed (I've read that you should always talk, but I just felt awkward, so I simply had music playing).

    I didn't get any tips or requests for a private show and I felt awful as I always read here how girls at least make SOME money on their first night.

    I was a top earner in all the clubs I worked but I understand that camming is a totally different game..

    I just don't know what I was doing wrong. I said hello to everybody, I smiled, didn't look bored, asked guys how they're day was etc, everything I used to do when dancing.

    I'm good looking and I got many compliments but it never led anywhere and I wasn't sure how the whole 'cam hustle' works so I kind of waited for them to take the first step..

    I got so stressed over it and had so much resentment built up that I actually cried today at the end of my yoga session.. I'm going to try again today and hope it will pick up for me.

    Should I state in my profile that I'm new and shy? Does it attract decent guys or simply freeloaders who try to rip me off?

    Thank you for everybody who takes the time to help.

    As one of my favorite books says: DON'T PANIC.

    It's only your first night and sometimes things just don't start of smoothly. Many girls have awesome first night, many don't.

    AW can be slow. I make pretty good money on AW most days, sometimes? I could swear I'll never make a cent again. Just keep trying and see how it goes. In the meantime, maybe open an account on SM or MFC through PrincessJenny's Daily Pay? (I've read you can't register without a studio because of your location and PJ is a doll and very helpful) It's always good to try out a couple of sites to see which one works best for you.

    Don't be too discouraged, AW is a great site. I haven't figured out the magical algorithm to share, but it works great for some people. It's just not traffic slammed as SM and MFC.

    You didn't get tips on AW? Tips on AW aren't so common, there's no culture of public tipping, so I wouldn't really expect that. As far as slapping on "new" and "shy" on your profile, you can if you think it would work for you... No one can take advantage of you if you don't let them, don't forget that. Saying you're new and shy doesn't mean you'll do anything you don't want.

    Sorry if I sound a little incoherent, it's not my best day.

    Good luck!

    Cool, thanks

    I did sign up for SM through Jenny, just waiting for the approval. I also gave webcams.com a try for an hour yesterday, but no success there either..

    Yeah, pretty much as soon as I had submitted this topic, I said to myself "Geez, it was only your first night, chill!" It's funny how you have to write things down to get a clear picture of everything.

    on AW did you limit guy's freechat time or did you leave it as unlimited? Doublecheck your JustCamit settings. If a guy loves chatting with you but is booted from your room after 5 to 10minutes he's more likely to go into pvt then the guy who is there longer/unlimited.... that just attracts lounge lizards. Even more so if you're very friendly.

    Some girls turn off audio in Justcamit during free but have it activated for group/private sessions only - so their free preview is just visual. you could try incentivizing your audio that way and "sell" hearing your voice when they come into your free. But if you feel awkward in free - working yourself up to chat there will make the transition into private less awkward. Or you can just shut off your audio and freechat altogether until you feel more comfortable offering it - the camworld is your oyster.

    You may find some of the tips here helpful - http://forum.stripperweb.com/showthread.php?p=2194883

    One thing I do during free is the 5x5 conversation here - http://forum.stripperweb.com/showpos...83&postcount=3

    Being friendly + attractive is great - and a decent chunk of guys will just take you private on that alone... but a lot need a subtle reminder and some need a flat out direct reminder.

    Also check the rates of girls with low profile views and no ratings to see what girls who arein the same boat as you are charging - if your rates are super high, then that may have something to do with it. AW's ppm rates are generally lower than most sites... not a criticism but if youre in the US the exchange works in your favor + the payout percentage is higher than most sites that provide you with a streaming chat interface.

    disclaimer - Im not a AW guru (misskatie and a few others are, & Im sure they'll chime in).

    Turn off free chat (as it isnt working so far) and add more pics, amateur, rather than any pro ones (if they are).

    If you send me your username here I can have a quick look at the profile for general tips.

    Wow girls, you are golden, this is SO helpful! I had the free chat on 5 minute limit within 24 hours. I will turn off free chat and see how it works.. Again, thanks for taking the time to help me! Jenny, I sent you a PM with my username.

    Its actually a hustle to working on AW. Theres a certian time to go on, you need to know when its time for you to purchase a spot and when not to. Being that you are a dancer, I have confidence you will figure it all out in a week or two. If not come back, im sure you will find the secrets scatered throughout the thread. I dont want to spill the beans in public because I wont makie any money for a week if I do. You know how the lurkers get... But feel free to PM me

    I'd actually leave it on, and leave sound on too. Offering free chat gives you more exposure and often you can get more exposure that way. turn the music down, i've found many guys don't like it too loud. choice of music has an impact too. Personally i only turn on free when things are really slow. when in there i tend to ignore everyone and get on with checking emails, updating profile etc. Now and then i will look in, smile and say hi boys. Make sure you are on at good traffic times for the UK. As with any site, check your lighting and cam quality. Fill out your profile fully. You could also invest in directcam placement xx

    10PM - 2AM are the busiest times on AW. I personally don't make a dime working outside of that time slot. Bidding for placement also helps me out a TON. It's pretty much become part of the routine for me. If you don't want to bid, make sure you upload a new pic and/or update your profile every 20-30 minutes so it'll bump you up closer to the top of the list.

    It's worth noting that AW is a fickle bitch! One day I'll be slammed with back-to-back privates and make incredible money, the next day I'll sit there for hours with nothing to show for it.

    Was just going with the theory that if one doesnt work, change to the other and see if it works sorry . AW unfortunately/fortunately has alot of different settings and methods on the site at earning money and generating exposure, so take time to get to know the site and try new things.

    If one method doesnt work, change your gameplay and try another until you find the right one
