    Sad AW - am I doing something wrong?

    Hi everyone, I posted around a week ago that I was having problems starting as a cam girl and everyone was so helpful in getting me started, so thanks again.

    I now have an account on AW, it's verified, I have some profile pics up etc etc.

    The first time I logged on I only did an hour because I was nervous and wanted to pop my cam cherry.

    I got taken into a group show of around 10 mins in that hour, which gave me a good rating and a few other people popped in and out of that show etc, I spent the rest of the time flirting and chatting.

    I thought this wasn't too bad for a first time, and gave me an hourly rate over my usual wage, so I thought, fair enough I was happy with that.

    However when I logged on yesterday I stayed on for two and a half hours and got no privates or group shows, which left me feeling really deflated, just guys who wanted to MSN me, a.k.a. freebie hunters and people who wanted to date me. I was polite and flirty with everyone and didn't do anything different to the first night.

    Towards the end I tried changing tactics, by being more direct, asking them what they were looking for, I tried being hyper flirty/horny and I tried dancing instead of just sitting and chatting. To be honest that just made it worse (and I can dance well!!!)

    Am I doing something wrong, I've heard people talking about 'hustle' is there something I need to be doing/saying something that is blaringly obvious but I've overlooked? Is there just too much against me? Being a BBW and alternative looking, is it just too different?

    I'm not looking to make thousands of pounds a night, just something would be nice!

    Thanks again, Mikki x

    AW is like that. I started there a month ago and got frustrated as well, because one day would be amazing and the other would suck ass.

    Nevertheless, I really like the site and I am making better money each week, slowly getting regulars and already got a first item off my wish list sent to me, wohoo.

    If you have a good feeling about this site, then make sure you don't give up.

    Keep uploading photos, videos & information on your profile. Guys want to get to know you!

    Paying for placement helps me as well. It will cost you a few credits but I've almost always earned them back very quickly. Even if you don't get shows, you will get more exposure and the more you will be seen, the more likely people are going to remember you and come back to your room.

    Also, what hours are you working? AW is UK-based, so the busiest times are 9 pm - 2 am GMT.

    Well you are new and this is to be expected. It happens to me even now sometimes except I don't really do free that much any more. AW really works for me as I have a look and attitude that British guys seem to really like even in real life.

    Give it a few more tries and if things don't pick up that's not the site for you. Move on to a new site and see if you don't do better there

    Good luck

    This week has been slow on all the sites. It's probably because it's the end of the month. AW is a little gem, so stick with it

    I have the same problem! I'm just not mean enough! And sometimes when I look at other profiles on AW it makes me fee so conservative! lol

    Just goes to show there is a place for all camgirls!

    Hehe yes, i think gone are the days when men were content ONLY to look at gorgeous naked girls. Now they want all kinds of weird shit. Certainly fun trying to work it all out though

    That's what AW is like. Its probably not the site for you if its not working how you wanted it to. It has very slow traffic. I'd say it is one of the slowest.

    But, like I've said before, what matters the most is if you fit in with the culture of the site and what the customers want. Its like a 50 year old woman or BBW women on MFC. It just doesn't work because that's not what the customers want. You need to find the sites that work for YOU with customers that want what YOU offer.

    Thats the nature of the business, up one day, down the next. Last week I made £600 without working the weekend, this week Ive made £250 so gonna have to work the weekend!

    Have a goal in mind and work the hours needed to reach it And yeah, keep updating your profile every half hour or so.

    I've just set up AW as well....going to give it a whirl this weekend. I'm setting it up to splitcam, so I'm not too concerned about paying it a LOT of attention though.

    Honestly, I wouldn't worry about it - all the sites go up and down....one night on SM I made $100 in less than an hour, the next night I made about $15 in three hours. Thats part of the reason that I am starting to splitcam - trying to spread myself (heehee) across a few so that if one site isn't doing it for me, I can make money off another...
    I take cash, debit or credit. I just don't take shit.

    Thankyou everyone, I'll have made £30 last night, for 3 hours work, I'm chuffed - I wont be retiring on it any time soon, but I feel so much better, in the end I was only in free chat for about 5 mins before a new private started, so I felt a bit chuffed

    Thanks so much for your encouraging words, I would never have gone back on tonight otherwise, you are all a bunch of stars!

    Hi, you would appear to have a niche market, this isnt coming across on your profile though. I would maybe look into having some tabs like this member to give a better view to potential clients about the services you offer.

    When I first loaded the profile up and had a glance at the images I felt "dominated" although the profile text suggests submission. In my opinion mixed messages are being sent as to which side you offer.

    I would maybe highlight your submissive side by displaying images of you being submissive, a tab to reflect this and give information on it and possibly wear some of those items in the background to really give the client the feel that you are a submissive person and note these items are on hand to be worn if requested.

    In general add more images, take advantage of being a curvy BBW and show them off.

    As the profile is relatively new you could also write a short blog on how you came across AW, your thoughts so far and the nights you may be present on cam.

    To emphasis the fact the profile is verified and you are submissive you could also display in your free gallery some images of you with for example, your username (or a clients) wrote on you? the gag item being worn by you with you holding a piece of paper with something like "Just for Ryan" on it etc anything really thats shows your genuine and captures their imagination.

    I would change your rates down by 0.01p to give that feeling its cheaper (like supermarkets do).

    Your first rating is excellent, keep it up.
