    Default adultwork for United States girls

    hi!! i spent a lot of time on the threads getting very excited about adultwork, but now i seem to be noticing a few comments here and there that "adultwork is where it's at FOR UK GIRLS" and statements to the degree of "the site promotes uk girls 1st so therefore US girls income is not comparable to uk girls"...please help me understand before i proceed to waste time and money on the site.

    As far as I know, after paid placement, AW lists models by those closest to the member by default, and since the majority of the site users are from the UK, UK girls get a bit of a boost. I could be wrong. I did quite well on AW when I was working it properly, better than I have done on any other site.

    If you're going to try AW (and you've not really got much to lose by doing so) I'd definitely recommend paid placement. You basically blind bid for positioning, so go for more obscure amounts. Usually around 2 creds+ will get you to the top row. I bid things like 2.62.

    You won't know what your earning potential on the site is until you try it out!

    okay i will do that!! the AW site is so complex with so many options and so much info, it looks like i will have to just jump in and get started to fully understand. i no longer feel discouraged about being a united states girl.

    def worth a try. I'm new on there too as well as on sm and imlive and I have better traffic on aw than sm. Tho it took me some time to figure out the basic settings but thankfully this forum is very helpful in that you can quickly search for stuff and find your way around if you have no clue where to find stuff.. Which def happened to me a few times.

    Yes, AW is a UK based site, however US and providers from all over are accepted there and make good money there. Just like SM and other US based sites fully accept UK girls and those alike are welcome to work. Even though UK girls are placed first you can still set yourself apart by bidding and making sure to please your customers and get reviews

    I also see a few US based customers use the site though most of them are English. Sometimes I feel it seems a bit of a divide between UK and US bbs but we're all one big family. Don't be afraid to join and try things out. One thing I enjoy is how kinky a lot of UK guys are and the fact that credits are equal to 1GBP. When this converts to US dollars it's always more $$$ for me I've been on AW for about 3 years and they've always been good to me.

    Where do UK girls get placed first? If girls haven't paid for positioning, they are all mixed up together no matter where they are from and, as I understand it, placement is then based on latest updates.

    I'm a uk girl on adultwork, I'm still fairly new but so many of the guys ask if you are English as their first question. It's kind of embarrassing how obsessed they are with it. I'm not really sure why it matters which country my vagina is from lol

    It's linked to their obsession with escorts. They like to think they could have sex with you if they wanted.

    credits are equal to 1GBP. When this converts to US dollars it's always more $$$
    Actually the recent strengthening in the US$ to GBP exchange rate now results in US girls getting paid FEWER US dollars than they used to be for the same amount of GBP denominated 'credits' earned. Six months ago, 100 GBP denominated 'credits' were worth US $171. Today, the same 100 GBP denominated 'credits' are only worth US $150. And that's before a payment processor takes an additional 'cut' for currency exchange.

    This is obviously working in 'reverse' for UK and Eurozone girls who are working on US based webcam host sites, where their US$ denominated earnings now convert into more GBP, more Euros, etc. than they did six months ago.

    This is why I tend to tell EU models to sign up for MFC. One member (asshole) high spender told me that he only spends on EU models and not Americans really. Well he did on me until of course that "be my in person hooker line" came out ( in so many words of course). Still it's true the U.S. dollar goes farther there. Cost of living is also seriously cheap so a model there can living pretty well off of the U.S. customer base.

    When I talk to U.K. member they refuse to spend too much on EU model or so I've been told which is why you'll see rates as low as 0.20 pence per minute on AW for a EU model.

    Sites like cam4 has a mix of American and Italy etc customer base which is why you don't really see high model payout there because since there are more models from Columbia, EU, and even the Philippines members don't spend alot. I tend to see private cam shows at the $10 for 20 min range yet some free chat shows get pretty hardcore for a goal of minimum $15 with over 2000 people watching.

    Most of the EU girls are in groups that set their rates low. The lowest you can cam for is .60 a minute.

    Can only speak for myself, but the dollar in my country (Belgium) has less worth, also living expenses arent cheap here. 1 dollar is now at 0,94 euro. Which is high, when I first started out some years ago the I had to make around 1500 dollar to get 1000 euro.

    This is actually very ON topic. In addition to the GB Pound, the Euro, the Canadian dollar, the Australian dollar etc. are all 'down' compared to the US dollar. This actually increases earnings for 'foreign' girls earning US dollar denominated payments from US based webcam hosts, when they convert those US dollars back to their 'home' currency ... PROVIDING, of course, that their total US dollar denominated webcam sales volume remains the same.

    However, there is also a flip side. 'Foreign' webcam customers who are ultimately paying for webcam in converted GB pounds, Euros, Canadian $, Aus $, etc. now find it MORE expensive to patronize US based webcam host sites whose prices are denominated in US dollars ... which is likely to result in those customers spending fewer US dollars ( even if they are spending the same amount in their 'home currency' ). Thus US camgirls may see their US dollar denominated webcam earnings drop, and 'foreign' camgirls working through US based webcam hosts may see their exchange rate related increase in 'home currency' earnings offset by reduced customer spending ( in US dollar terms ).

    In fact, many 'foreign' customers are likely to reduce their use of US based webcam host sites in favor of a different webcam host site based in their own 'home' country ... where they don't have to experience a de-facto 'price increase' via an unfavorable exchange rate. This should actually increase business at sites like AW !!!

    Also ... and this may be a bit off topic ... many financial pundits are calling for the US dollar to 'strengthen' even further, due to the massive drop in oil / commodity prices ( a big factor in the UK, Canadian, Australian etc. economies ), due to the unsolved Greek and Cypriot debt problems ( a big factor for Eurozone economies ), etc. As such, these exchange rate related factors are likely to grow even larger. It will be interesting to see how this may affect the camming industry from an international standpoint.

    I never did very well there... I didn t stay very long either...lol
    I would get 99.9 % UK guys and usually asking me if I was in the UK and even after saying NO, they would still ask me if I was an escort...lol
    Inside of me I was like " No i m not and if i was that would be some expensive pussy to fly over from the US to where u r my friend" lol
    When I would say I was from Latin America they would ask my country and some would make remarks about a war my country had with England back in 1982, I was like " dude.... do u have to bring up a war from over 30 yrs ago on a cam site??? really???
    It depends, u might get lucky, never know!

    Maybe I worded that incorrectly but for me, I make more money on the exchange. I have a serious reg who prefers to spend on AW rather than SM. He is British. I wasn't on AW ten years ago so I'm not sure about how strong the dollar was back then. I know it is weak now but I also know if I go to Canada I'll have some extra money. Of course if I were to go to the UK (I have plans this summer) I would have to bring more than double USD because of the exchange. I know that I charge 2.99GBP per min and I take away about $3.10 (my cut) per min which is a lot more than some of the US sites offer. On SM I have charge $8+ just to take home around that much per min. Of course to some English guys 2.99 is still quite steep but it could be 5.38 GBP which is the equivalent of $8. To me I still come out ahead. This is all really because of the higher payout.
