Hi, as you may know the group has been growing at quite a fast rate, so much so we have hit an "upper limit".

You may have noticed no group transfer was done today (just some individual ones), the group transfer page were we do it basically cant process the amount of transactions the group has.

AW have proposed we create another group, eg Adultworks Elite or something similar to try and make it easier on the servers.

At current we are unable to do a group transfer which is a major problem as money is already running thin.

Post any ideas you may have in how to deal with this problem on our side.

Thanks

2, maybe 3 groups:

Adultwork's Finest Vixens
Adultwork's Finest Fetishists
Adultwork's Finest ????

Give us a choice of what we 'are', then see how the numbers fall?

It has the added benefit of allowing us to 'target' our audience within the group, and a smaller list for guys to scroll through to see our 'friends'

WOW! Thats amazing! The only thing I can think of is sub groups within the main group? Break it down into catagories, i.e Milfs, Doms, Subs etc Not sure if it would help though?


LOL Scarlet, exactly the sort of thing I was thinking. Dam girl you was quicker lol

[dianamurphy]

The name Elite suggests that this group would be a better group and therefore have more benefits and as a result would pay more in charges IMO. You have started to accept people who escort only, is it possible to set up a seperate group for these people who are already paying a reduced rate? One idea!

Or you could have three groups/tiers but how the featuring would work I'm not sure right now:

1 - Escorts only

2 - Webcammers only

3 - Escorts and webcammers

Featuring the escort group and the webcam group is possible if you're prepared to work for those spots but how would you work on getting the best features for category 3?

Personally as an escort and a webcammer I'm happy with the level of featuring at the moment but would not want to pay the same charges if another group was potentially reducing the amount of featuring the group I was a member of was receiving.

I'm not an expert on the featuring so maybe others could add to that.

i agree with the above post ......

a group for escorts and webcams and keep those that webcam in the other i think that would work well ?

[Sexy_Ally]

To be honest, I don't think you should split up the groups into who does what as that wouldn't really make much sense...

For e.g. a group that only had escorts wouldn't really create much revenue for DP.

I think you should just be simplistic about it, and go for something like -

AdultWorks Finest Performers II

AdultWorks Finest Performers III

And so forth... That way the customers recognise the name and any adultworkers wishing to join realise that it is a continuation from the original group.

Again, I think you should keep the model as is - i.e. a mixed selection of webcammers, phone chatters and escorts (and a combination of the aforementioned). As this is part of the original successful formula!

I think it's best to keep these things as simple and as to the original working model as possible.

Hope this helps.

Hi Diane, all groups if created, would have the same benefits.

We added alot of new benefits recently and didnt ask for anymore money or raise charges so we wouldnt be starting it now

Everyone pays the 6%, there is a test pilot running for escort only profiles but in theory they pay more than a normal member as they have 0 earnings, get less benefits and still have to pay a charge.

At the moment escort only profile not in the test pay no charge, which needs correcting and we are doing that as a separate issue.

Currently the group featuring and the other exposure is offered as free so we can take those away at will. We set it up as free so people couldnt complain about it.

Maybe we should have charged for those extra benefits so when you complained we could have understand, as I read it your saying you wouldnt be happy if we took away the free benefits we currently offer and you still have to pay the 6%? I'll up the charge to 8% then take away the benefits and reduce the price back to 6% sure.

ps, all the current featuring comes directly from my pocket, it costs me a fortune each day and as its January times are hard in the industry. DP runs at a slight negative each day, if nothing changes on that front DP would be heading for bankruptcy, thankfully we have the option to stop featuring at anytime.

The issue with too many 'sub groups' would be home page featuring. You will never be able to please everyone
For example the majority of 'Vixens' may work everyday whereas 'Milfs' may only be working a few days or lower hours, split groups in turn would see one sub section paying for another subsection being featured and them seeing no benefit.

However I could see two groups alternating on the homepage, That would be the fairest way. Group names such as 'Elite' have nothing to do with publicity when the matter of daily pay is advertised in the header.

EDIT.
You beat me to the issue admin I dont find it makes a blind bit of difference to me anyway, but I know alot of people here moan and gripe about poor traffic when we're not on the homepage!

[NadiaNolen]

I would delete inactive users first. Anyone who hasn't worked in a few months. Maybe email them first and explain the situation.

If that doesn't work then divide into two groups with similar names linked to one another. Something like adultworkwebcammers and adultworkwebcammers 2.0. Then feature each group every other day and put links on the bottom of everyone's profile to the other group.

[admin]

Hi, inactives will be getting deleted someday soon, as they are inactive though they dont contribute to the problem so may not make a difference.


The feature everyother day for each group was my first though.

Will leave this thread here and come back later to read the thoughts.

Thanks

"divide into two groups with similar names linked to one another. Something like adultworkwebcammers and adultworkwebcammers 2.0. Then feature each group every other day and put links on the bottom of everyone's profile to the other group."

As for the featuring yes its been great but for me it's the daily pay and good customer support i really depend on featuring was just a bonus, i think us all even adding on our own profiles to the other group.I have always thought it be good to have a section on here for marketing and targetting new traffic to the group profiles anyway

[Sexy_Ally]

At the end of the day, if they need to make other groups, then they need to do it; if that means marginally less featuring then so be it; all I care is that DP continues to work and is a success, any one who wants it to stay the same then you are essentially saying you want the group to fail as they can't process payments with the status quo!

[little_missnaughty]

i just want DP to carry on we have an amazing group amazing admin and featuring is a bonus a nice one but wasnt this group setup in the first place so we could all get our daily pay .......... maybe color code the groups tbh all i want is DP to carry on ... x

I completely agree with this post

[shy-sun-shine]

DP has been a life saver for me, anythin that can be done to help it improve n continue is a good idea, i dont think splittin group into things like doms, milfs etc is a good idea, just split it up random into 2 groups if that helps adultworks finest 1 and 2 or somethin similarand like others have said alternate the featuring for each group, like u said at the end of the day u payfor itout of ur pocket so alternatin wudn cost any more or just feature each group once or twice a week save urself some money, i really app admin on daily pay they r so helpful and always answer my questions, just hope its sorted so DP can continue! xxx

Hi everyone, managed to get a transfer through. A temporary solution for now is to have more than 1 transfer per week and not the current big one each week.

It will be done during the day so it doesnt affect peoples featuring etc which mostly happens at midnight each night.


AW continues to grow at quite a fast rate, SM grew 50% from last week and continues to grow at a very fast pace. MFC is dead since the no Americans rule was brought in.

C4S is still having its systems tested for the best way to do the day to day transfers on it. A suitable one appears to have been found so more updates at a later date on that one.

Thanks

Am not quite sure as to the Hierarchy of things. So please take what i say as suggestions.

I think regulating the group a bit more might be able to help. Rather than accepting every single person that asks to join, have a bit of 'basic requirements' , This way the term FINEST does mean something after all. I know the aim is mainly to offer daily pay while hopefully making a bit for yourselves and the cost of running such an operation.

So my suggestions are as follows:

1. Verified Members Only (Not important, but you know these members are serious about earning, which interns means a win win for everyone) Again another way of cutting down numbers

2. Even though it's daily pay ask that members earn and sustain a minimum of atleast £100 to remain a member (Just a rough figure, also this should motivate members to work, which again can only be a win win)

3. Rather than divide the group by kinks and quirks, why not do it geographically
e.g.

Adultwork Finest Performers UK
Adultwork Finest Performers US
Adultwork Finest Performers Asia
Or whatever regions members come from. Featuring alternatively. Or daily on the different region homepage

4. Maybe create two payment schedules... Meaning two cut off times. This way hopefully the servers should not be burden and confused by carrying out mass task and transactions (which should not be an issue to begin with but as i don't know what happens behind the user interface i won't speculate)

I have tons more suggestions, just as the other ladies am sure may have. However we can only speculate and suggest. At the end you know what happens behind the scenes, what works and what does not work.

Surely you may have an idea or ideas that you see as the way forward. Why not enlighten us to them, an maybe we can help you explore them more

Again ladies the above was only meant as suggestions.... So please take it easy.....

[Sexy_Ally]

Only Verified members are currently allowed to join anyway...

Hi everyone!

I agree with the girls saying featuring is a nice bonus but the most important aspects of DP are the daily payments (obviously) and the customer service. Maybe the girls who don't mind not being featured could be put in a separate group together and the girls who really want this benefit are put in the 'elite' group and possibly charged an extra .5% to cover it? Or have only the highest earners in the elite group for featuring. The thing about featuring is it's expensive and we don't want DP going bankrupt trying to feature everybody when a good number of us don't especially require it! In addition the credit transfers could be done seperately for each group to relieve the load. Would it help to split the payment times too? So half the girls can opt to be paid at midnight and the others at midday as usual?

DP is an excellent service and it would be bloody terrible if it went under because you were too generous with the extras!

[xsweetpeax]

Sorry I just read the post saying you won't be charging different rates for each group! Am pretty tired

I still think you should split into 2 groups and only feature one of them though. Maybe it should be first come first serve.. put out a mass email saying anyone who wants to be in the group that gets featured should respond by a certain date or keep their earnings above a set amount. Or even explain the cashflow situation and see how many people opt out of featuring voluntarily!

Just throwing some ideas out willy nilly, sorry if it isn't much help.
