Members wishing to have their own website can now take advantage of the My Adult Site website template system for free. My Adult Sites use the content

your own domain name (new or existing) you can set this up within the Developers Area and there is a charge depending on what you select. Obviously that is
optional, you can have your random My Adult Site for free.
The URL to your free My Adult Site is: https://my.adultwork.com/your_user_ID_or_nickname

Advice on Rentals and New Minimum Pricing for Clips |
|
|
We have been reviewing the success of rental movies and have decided to combine all functionality surrounding rentals and clips together. The systems for
uploading and viewing movie clips are (as of Friday 23 November) far superior to the rentals area.
Uploading
- You can now upload multiple clips at once with a drag and drop interface on the desktop site.
- You can now take a video with your phone and upload it straight away in the WebApp.
- Movie clip uploads can be paused and resumed
- Choose your clip thumbnail once the movie is uploaded (or supply it manually)
Viewing
- All movie clips are protected with DRM including delivery on the WebApp (so they cannot be downloaded and shared, everyone must pay to view)
- Movie clips are delivered at a quality to support the device size and available bandwidth, so much better on mobile devices on 3G or 4G
- Movies clips are streamed, so the viewer only downloads what they see, they don't need to download the whole movie in order to jump to the end.
We will shortly be giving you the option to move your rentals over to the clips area. We will be further enhancing the clips area so that:
- The minimum pricing rules
are more real-world and based on duration and resolution (picture size), not file size. We envisage this will result in a minimum price of .5 credits
and a maximum of 10 credits. (These were updated on 26 November 2018 to get nearer to these levels. Take advantage of new lower SRPs via your
Manage Library Page.)
- You will be able to provide a price for members to subscribe to all of your movies and/or all movies in a collection, for fixed durations or indefinitely.
- Longer term, you will be able to provide subscriptions models for all your profile content.
So for now, we would ask that you do not upload any movies that would normally be uploaded as rentals, and try the
movie clip uploader instead.

New Out-payment Method - ePayService |
|
|
Members may now request that their credits are paid to an ePayService Wallet. Through these e-Wallets members can subsequently transfer their funds to
a prepaid debit card, their own credit/debit card or a bank account. Cards and wallets can be denominated in GBP, USD or EUR and issued to most parts of the World
(unlike Cosmo Payment). For our members in Asia this is the out-payment solution they have been waiting for since the demise of FirstChoice Pay.
If you don't have an ePayService account, sign-up here. Check out their fees and subsequent withdrawal

of mind over unscrupulous group managers or others with access to their profile from exposing their details. Edit Profile?
- Private Gallery Face Pictures - When you upload new pictures to your Private Gallery you can denote that they show your face by starting the title
with *f*. (If you're using the WebApp on your smartphone, start the title with fp. You can update your existing photos via your
Manage Private Gallery page. Do this because members can now search for providers
with face pictures in their Private Gallery. If you have them, you'll want to be included.
- Client Connections - now shows members who have signed up to receive an alert when you upload new content.
- Feature Private Gallery & Movies, now on WebApp - Members featuring their private gallery or movies are now enjoying increased exposure due to changes
on the WebApp that show featured content on it's entry page. (What's the WebApp? Visit the Site from your smartphone and you will be taken there
automatically.) More info: Private Gallery - Movie Clips.

To help members operate their online businesses, whilst remaining compliant with the laws in their jurisdiction, it is now possible to require that anyone viewing

For members in the UK this news article (or
this) may provide some clarification as
to what is required of you, or at least will serve as a starting point for you to conduct your own research.
Whilst AdultWork.commay have certain obligations, at the time of writing and until competing sites can be evaluated on the same level playing field, we will continue
to empower the membership to make their own choices. More information about age verification and AdultWork.com's plans can be found

- The number of distinct bidders and others watching an auction item is now visible on auction items. Gives you an idea of popularity of the auction
item and whether your bid may be impacted in the last few minutes.

These have now been resolved.

- The genders of the performers that appear in movie clips can now be leveraged in the Movie Clip Search and from the
Movies Quick Search. This is far more relevant than the previous filter on the gender of the content provider.
- Unused DirectChat PINs can now be deleted via your My DirectChat PINs page.

- You can view a three month history of your participation in the featured member scheme, here. (Normally accessible
via the History button, top right corner of Featured Item pages.)

Emails & Bookings. The option to then block callers is available to you.

- Links to UK Royal Mail pricing pages have been updated on the Edit Sales Item page.
- The problem of phone chat numbers being removed from your profile page at random has now been resolved. Ensure yours is set correctly
here.
- We would encourage all escorts in the UK to sign up to the National Ugly Mugs Scheme.

DirectCam Performers |
DirectCam Special Offers |
|
|
DirectCam Special Offers allow you to set a fixed price for fixed length DirectCam sessions, (similar to pre-booked webcam bookings). When the customer
buys your special offer they enter DirectCam immediately and you are notified via the JustCamIt interface of their purchase. There are two different ways to approach
special offers:
- Offer the customers a per-minute-rate discount, for staying in session for longer. For example, if your normal per minute rate is 1.5 credits, you
could offer 10 minutes for 10 credits, giving an effective rate of 1 credit per minute. 10 minutes at 1 credit per minute is better than 5 minutes (or
less) at 1.5 credits. Use this to encourage members to relax, get comfortable and enjoy the show, knowing they've paid up-front.
- Offer the customers niche activities, (e.g. smoking and other fetishes), that you wouldn't normally offer. For example, if you normally offer private
sessions for 2 credits per minute, you could offer 5 minutes of a fetish/niche activity for 15 credits, thereby increasing the per minute rate to 3 credits
per minute.
If you want you can allow a member to stay in session past the offer duration and continue being charged the special offer per minute rate. If not, the
member is automatically disconnected when the offer duration is reached.
You can set-up and manage your special offers

Movie Rentals - Longer High Quality Movies |
|
|
The movie rental area announced last month has now been launched. If you're looking longer and higher quality movies then this new area will contain what
you are looking for. Movies will be at least 15 minutes in length and will have been checked by a human to ensure good and reliable video quality. Movies
will be rented to you using Windows Media DRM and you can stream them for immediate playback or download them for playback at a later time, (within the rental period
you subscribe to).
Check out the new Movie Rental Area now!
If you have good movie content, either amateur or professional, then upload it now and start earning!

camera or have access and rights to professional adult content then you can upload it to the Site and allow members to rent it. You set the prices for the

Local Escort Search |
|
|
Due to popular demand we have introduced a cut down version of the Featured Profile Scheme called "Local Search". Local Search allows visitors to the Site
to view profiles by Region or County. All members that match the Region/County criteria are ultimately viewable, but those subscribed to the Featured Profile
Scheme and those who subscribe to the Local Search are presented on a page of their own. Subscription puts your profile on the first page, unlike the main
Site search and Featuring, non-subscribers do not appear here at all. This increases exposure to your profile and in turn increases your business potential
(leads) and revenue generation (galleries and movies). Local Search offers benefits for members offering services in several regions or counties, perhaps
touring or perhaps offering services near to regional boundaries.
Pricing for inclusion is fixed depending on whether you wish to appear at a Regional level or Regional and County level. Regional level is 3
credit(s) per day, regardless of when you subscribe, the day before or a month before.
If you think this may benefit your online business take a look at the Local Search or subscribe
now.

Manage Free Preview Re-entry |
|
|
It is now possible to restrict the length of time anyone can have a free preview for, within a specific timeframe. Members can only cam with you in free
mode for three minutes. Previously (if your room had capacity), they could come back in. Now you can set a maximum free time limit. Once exceeded,
they will not be able to rejoin until the specified timeframe has elapsed. For example, you can now define that any one member can only cam with you in free mode
for a maximum of 10 minutes within any 3 hour period.
If you wish to make use of this feature, you may configure it via your
DirectCam Settings
page, (normally accessible via your Edit Profile Page). Remember, free mode
is for previewing your face, environment and conversational skills. If clients want to chat they should enter a paid for mode.

New Pay Per Minute Text-based Chat Platform - DirectIM |
|
|
Due to popular demand we have reworked the DirectCam application so that all service providers can offer pay-per-minute chat, without the need to send a video
feed. Webcammers and clients seeking webcam services should continue to use DirectCam. DirectIM is for those service providers that do
not wish to offer services incorporating webcams or video feeds, but do wish to offer adult-themed conversations in an instant messaging style earn per minute
environment. When a service provider is logged in and offering DirectIM their profile page will show the relevant links and they will also appear on the
DirectIM providers page. You may also search for DirectIM providers using the options on the

Filtering of pages by Visitor/Member Country |
|
|
In another step toward our ultimate goal of a truly international service provider directory, we have made some fundamental changes to the main Site Home Pages.
The pages accessed by the links above, (Escorts, Webcam, Phone Chat, SMS Chat, Movies, Pictures and Blogs), now only show members or content based on the country
selected by the visitor upon entry to the site.
This is so that people accessing from countries outside the UK can see members in their own country with ease. We understand that for some services this
has limited relevance, (e.g. Webcam), but exposure for service providers/content affected will be addressed in the near term.
The Humour and For Sale areas are yet to be subjected to this filtering although it is planned.

Change of domain name, .co.uk to .com |
|
|
The site has been available and relevant to visitors from all over the World for a number of years now. To truly reflect the Site's positioning and superiority
in the international marketplace we have switched the domain name suffix to .com from .co.uk. Whilst there might be the odd glitch in the immediate term, no lasting
effects are envisaged. The Site will always be accessible on the .co.uk address. You will note the URL switching to .com when you pass the entry page.
You should ensure that your email rules and filters are set-up to allow emails from anything @adultwork.com, especially no-reply@adultwork.com
.
Members making use of direct links into profiles, groups, blogs and other pages will not be affected in any way, these links will continue to work. For
good measure you should update them to .com as and when you get the opportunity. Links and javascript files that form part of the Member Referral scheme will
also remain unaffected and, most importantly, valid referrals to .co.uk or .com will still be credited to you.
Members that email movies (info) or blog posts (info)
into the Site should change the domain name they send to, to .com.
Experienced members and visitors wanting a trouble-free visit will have added the Site's URL to their "trusted sites" list and enabled pop-ups in any pop-up
blocking toolbar/software that they may have installed. These settings will need to be re-done for the new domain name in order for them to continue to use
the site effectively.

Introduction of ePassporte Transfers |
|
|
Regrettably we are no longer able to offer credits transfers directly to UK bank accounts. This facility will be removed in due course. To help
those that do not wish to use receive their credits by cheque/check we have introduced a new method, allowing you to transfer your credits to an ePassporte account.
ePassporte membership gives you a virtual VISA that you can use online and a physical VISA card that you can use at ATMs, cashpoints and everywhere else that VISA
is accepted. Visit the
ePassporte Website for more information.

Private Gallery Picture Albums (Updated) |

You will have noticed that some service providers have thousands of pictures in their private galleries. So that these pictures can be accessed and grouped
in a more structured and logical way, we have now developed Picture Albums.
In addition to sub-dividing your private gallery, you are able to assign a PIN number to each album. If you wish, you may give this PIN number to other
members so that they may gain free access to that album's contents. Of course, giving free access is totally optional and controlled by who you give your
PIN to. To revoke access at any time, just change or remove the PIN Number.
If you have hundreds of pictures in your Private Gallery set-up your albums now and categorise your pictures accordingly. Once
you have set-up some albums you will notice an album drop down box on your Manage Private Gallery and
Add Private Pictures pages.
