Title: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: pandora on 29 October 2008, 08:46:28 pm
In the last couple of weeks I think the credit crunch is really hitting business.  Lots of punters are asking for deals due to the credit crunch.  Are other ladies finding this? 

As I have diversified on to other sites, and the fall off from AW has been replaced by Punterlink and my new website. I still have more or less the same number of jobs, (about 8 -12 a week) but I am working much harder to get them.  A blip or a trend?

I haven't reduced my rates, have any other ladies and if so has it increased business?

8-12 bookings a week? that'd be smooth sailing for some of us...

I think the talk is simply making people more cautious (picky) about spending decisions...and to a degree does have an effect.

here in the states, the news and the presidential election coming up has everyone all tuned into the political bullshit, even gay.com chat rooms are filled with political chit chat. And there's much tension out here between the 2 parties. RIDICULOUS if you ask me.

The other day the stock market went the highest..so people may be more encouraged. Eventually a good week will come by

i think it all goes in cycles and that goes for any business, if it is lower for a while it catches up soon.

 About half of my most recent booking was spent smoking and discussing the elections and McCain's choice as candidate considering his issues this election.  :)

 And also, Yes I'd kill for 8 bookings a week. Sure I've just started so I'm only just getting going but 8 a week is still a long way away. I'd be surprised if it didn't move in cycles, like any other business we have our highs and lows  :)

Im sure it does - after all men will always want some fun.  And i noted from another thread - half term!

Does the Winter affect trade ladies? The sun seemed to bring them out in the Summer.

Hi there - I generally find that when the kids ar off school work does go downhill a bit, and prob Jan will be quiet again this year due to everyone spening high in Dec. But chin up - we all have good and bad weeks - it will get better I promise! x

No-one seems to have mentioned that anyone who thinks mumbling vague platitudes about the 'credit crunch' (which is meaningless media-speak to the majority of people anyway who would, if asked, be hard-pushed to explain what it actually means) in order to try and bag themselves a discount (which I assume is what is meant by 'deal') is outrageously rude - if you can afford to go whoring at all, you haven't got too much to worry about just because your house value has fallen a bit. Boo hoo.

I have a number of valued regulars who do get a small discount, as I know many other ladies do, but this is something that has been offered, not asked for and there's a big difference. Trying to haggle my prices is one of the fastest ways to get yourself blacklisted, and that is never going to change. I have never lowered my prices and do not intend to - fees in this industry have remained stable for a long time and for the most part represent very good value considering that they were practically the same ten years ago (unlike everything else). I can honestly say that I am no quieter than I was six months ago - maybe because I do not live in a particularly affluent area and people here don't have a great deal to lose in terms of bonuses and so on.

This week was bound to be quiet - school holidays combined with the run up to payday for many, multiplied by all the Christmas stuff really starting to make it's presence felt - it's never going to be a busy time. I have to disagree with the OP though - I knew it would be quiet this week, so last week I took plenty of bookings (some of which I would normally have turned down as I don't need to work that much) and had my second busiest week ever - I was exhausted by the end of it and that was after eleven bookings, the majority of them two hours. If 8-12 a week is not enough for you then I sympathise - I would be like the walking dead if I had to work like that every week!

I am not sure what is meant by having to 'work harder' to get bookings; if this means answering enquiries promptly, maintaining self and premises, keeping advertising up to date and so on, surely we are doing this anyway?

yes that is true the credit crunch is really just mainly about the property market; however it seems to have affect some other businesses as well

i am a firm believer that we are not really affected by the credit crunch, and i also would second that it is more a hype at the moment,

i do second that it is very important to haggle about ones prices

The credit crunch goes a lot farther than just property. It's also to do with mortgages. For example, some people have been on fixed rate mortgages for a few years, which has kept their payments stable. But now when that fixed period comes to an end, it would be harder for a homeowner to negotiate another fixed deal. If they don't get their fixed deal, then their mortgages go up. When their mortgages go up, they then have to find the extra money from somewhere to pay for the increase per month. And because banks are loathe to loan to each other at the moment, they aren't keen to give the homeowner another fixed rate, simply because it's not in their best interest monetary-wise. If you don't have a mortgage then yes, that's one thing you don't have to worry about.

It also means that banks won't lend to small businesses. If you have clients that own/run a small business, you can bet he's finding hard looking for a loan if he's indeed seeking one. The last thing on his mind is paying for a shag.
But then saying that, I have customers who've been totally fed-up with the stress that the credit crunch has bought them, and sought solace in having some no strings sex. I had a fed-up city banker a couple of weeks ago, who just wanted me to take away the stress of the previous week. So it can work both ways.

Thanks for all the comments.  By working harder, I mean getting listed on punterlinks etc and getting a website, and spending more time refreshing the profile on AW.  It is addictive being on the computer! Distracts from my real job - especially reading all the interesting forums.  I have only been doing this for about 5 months since the dreaded "CC" hit my real job.  I still have two other real jobs to do as well, and the escorting merely plugs the drain.  It is great fun though, I love it and it gives me a social life, albeit unorthodox.

Wow, you have 3 (or 2, i might have that wrong) real life jobs and you take 8-12 bookings a week, thats one huge bloody drain that needs plugging Pandora.  how do you not burn out and run out of energy?

I have one other job and about to start another in a few weeks, after that i am hoping for upto 5 or 6 bookings  a week but anymore and id be way too tired.  my new job will be an incredibly physical one though so maybe that is why i anticipate being so tired.

this seems to be the burning question of the thread. Did you mean you have 8-12 calls per week? Or you actually meet 8-12 per week? isnt that like 2 per day  ???

If thats the case, then that proves times are great even in the shittiest economy....

I  meant 8-12 jobs a week - I assumed that wasn't much - seems I should be very pleased looking at the threads!

And yes I am very tired - Mondays I dont get up til lunchtime.  I work in my real job fri - sun 15hrs a day - have a hospitality business.  Have another business that is managed by someone else and I oversee and direct - but mainly runs itself.  This leaves me Mon-Thurs to play and also very late night at weekends - for relaxation - lol.  Just a shame that my businesses are in the industries worst hit by the recession.

Realistically my jobs are mainly hour ones - do get the odd dinner date 4hr one so its actually not much time.  I am lucky enough to have built up a good base of regulars, so I find the escorting lots of fun.

Hey, call me an adrenaline junkie.  Can't help but keep busy.

What bugs me is how bananas the papers are going. The Guardian online has had three headlines so far today. 1) Unemployment 2) UK Is buggered   3) Recession is going to be long...

 I'm starting to think this is the new Global Warming. Each year we need something new to all be terrified of.

Wasn't last year and the year before the 'floods! famine Pestilence we're all gonna die tomorrow from pollution! Bird Flu will kill 70,000 in the UK! We'll run out of gas and freeze!'

But it's ok, cos now we have a recession. Phew!

Post by: Lydia on 12 November 2008, 04:27:20 pm
Yep, the papers do seem get enthusiastic about bad news. I've read of something a while ago about a 'Good News' paper - it only contained positive stories, apparently it didn't sell very well! No one wants to buy a paper filled with good news!  :o

The recession will dominate for a while, like the boom did. I did read some reprint on line of newspaper articles from the build up to and during the 90's recession, I do remember the 90's recession I was old enough to be aware of things going on when it happened.

Post by: UrbaneAspects on 12 November 2008, 07:09:41 pm
I dont know...I think some of it has to also do with where you're at. For example...

I did a check with a New York website and let me say they have about 400 escorts, while the average city in the US has about 20-40 listed escorts on this particular site. And the number of top escorts is obviously more.

I think the credit crunch has something to do with it, but I also think where you are may also have alot more impact. You could be in one place and not having as much luck, blaming of the economy.... and then shift to another city and find out you wasted quite a bit of time being in a smaller town where things really didnt generate much...It wasnt the economy, it was your location. makes sense?
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Lydia on 12 November 2008, 10:18:33 pm
Yes, I think these things tend to ripple through area by area too.

I can only imagine that it may be similar to the 90's and what seemed to happened to people then, some were able to keep going for a while on their current salary through the initial stage of the difficulties, some had stretches of unemployment but managed to continue getting jobs at their previous salary at various times and some took a cut (like what they used to earn in a week they accepted to earn in a month) and they were able to stay employed throughout but, but, but you also have those who for various reasons remain relatively unaffected. What I've read but don't know is that 'entertainment' (breweries, prostitution) tend to be ok but I've no idea really where we stand.

well its like, doctors, mechanics and football games. People are always going to be sick, always going to have car trouble, always going to be bored and horny. People also need clothes and transportation...but you can be more selective with the latter...which is why some auto industries are feeling the pinch.

one thing is...you can never predict the future. How can one say next week is going to be crap? How can one say tonight will be busy? you just dont know. and vice versa...

The phone and bookings have gone very quiet in the last two weeks.   December was really busy.

Is this just me or is this a January thing? Or indeed a credit card landing on the mat time of year.

The bookings I have had have been really long ones, which is great, so takings wise its up, but it is soooooo quiet.

I agree, for me it's a bit quiet but waiting for payday in a week or so and maybe it'll pick up! Thinking about charting my bookings on a spreadsheet to track patterns from which I can produce all sorts of fancy graphs and pie charts but that may be just a step too far...

hmmm, not so sure about that Lex...we were just talking about this in the thread, "Keeping track for 2009". I was also considering doing the excel spreadsheet thing and seeing what months are slow or not. However, Im going to be traveling abroad the 1st quarter of this year to a couple different cities so the findings may be exaggerated due to the new boy in town  :-\

And by the way, January has been very quiet. Thats why Im not happy about the holidays anymore. This is the 3rd January in a row where things have just slumped. Everyday should be a holiday, not just a month when people go spend crazy and then afterwards time just stands still...

Perhaps we should be organising our own personal January sales campaigns. I'm not suggesting we slash our prices (god forbid!) but maybe offer an incentive to spend money like loyalty points (I could print up my own little cards, buy ten blow jobs, get a complimentary massage) or offer team up to with other suppliers to have your car valeted whilst you're getting your end away.

Gosh I'm bored... ooh those CDs aren't in order, must sort that out.....

PS, please don't take any of the above seriously, I'm pulling the collective plonker... except perhaps about the CDs!

Well Lilly you are right to an extent, offering specials is good sometimes. I have a massage special going on which is 100 dollars less than what I usually charge. I also advertised 30 minute specials. Point is, the men are broke because of the silly holiday shopping rituals and nothing's really selling so well. What do I have to do, offer $20 specials  ::)

Just to say that I do a spreadsheet and have done for a long time!!!!  And it is not out of boredom at all! 

I take this work seriously and treat it in a professional manner.  As such I have goals and set myself targets which I try to reach.  By doing spreadsheets it also jogs my memory on clients and likewise a very good way of looking back and seeing which months were busier than others.

It also helps with keeping accurate accounts and providing information required by my accountant should the need arise.

Yup. Went from literally 7 calls a day last month (albiet with a generous helping of the "woss-ya-name-again I forgot and can i 'av a discount" variety) to 1 or 2 calls a day if I'm lucky at the moment. Definitely getting some loyalty cards made up with something along the lines of....... hmmm, maybe a flash of nipple as they leave, as an incentive to save up for. I mean, seriously, that's a pretty generous offer if you ask me.

I have had more calls lately but that could be because I got my first punternet review not long ago, and another positive reveiw on AW, whereas before I only had one, so im guessing thats why. I was expecting January to be very quiet because its the time of year when most people have spent too much over xmas! x x

I find that new reviews help, I was just cheeky and asked a couple of clients right out if the were going to do a review...and it worked, one client even said he came to see me because it said "New Review" next to my name on the agency website. I expected January to be slow too, so I've saved for that. I'm also going to invest in some new photos in a few weeks so that when the january money troubles ease a bit I'll be there in my new knickers :D

It'll get better. It always does. xx

I think most of us have been through this at one time or another, and I guess its intensified now with the current political and financial climate, least now you have fab sites such as this where we can all share it with you, I remeber my first spell in the doldrums, everybody around me seemed to be saying how wonderfull things were, and i started doubting my perfume, and then myself. these things happen in waves, tomorow/next week/who knows, but it will be like somebody has flicked a switch and things will turn themseleves around.

I cant wait til the switch gets turned back on already. Why it was turned off in the first place just annoys me!

Actually, back on the subject, I have found January this year busier than last year, although I had only just gone full time and I didn't have my website, just a few newspaper ads and some directory listings. I believe that the '4 weekly' people have just been paid, and the 'monthly' ones will be the end of this week - I had a quiet one a couple of weeks ago but nothing out of the ordinary for the time of year.

I still have a good mix of newbies and regulars too, and I had been fully expecting to rely on the fan club for the next few weeks, given all the blather about recession and so forth. I don't think it's that different to any other industry - those who give a good service at reasonable rates will be fine and the chancers who are out for a fast buck and don't care about clients or repeat business will fail, and frankly no-one will be happier to see them dying on their lazy arses than me.

Yup! People always complain about January being quiet, but it's never been so for me. It's business as usual. It's February I don't like. That's why in the past I've gone on holiday for more or less the whole month because I don't miss much. I'm home this year and I'm gritting my teeth through this month.

This week isn't actually going too bad (suprisingly) I had a booking yesterday and have a couple more today, but last week I only had the one, and that was a long-time regular who battled the weather and the disrupted train service to come in from Cambridge, bless him. A couple of others cancelled because of the snow. And next week here is half-term, which means little or no work for that week. I do have one booking for next Monday, but I wouldn't be suprised if that was it for the week. I also have a play-wrestling session booked for the end of the month.

All in all I'm not really grumbling and I'm happy with whatever comes my way in February. It could be worse, especially with the recession. But yes, traditionally for me, Feb. is the worst month, not January.

I have taken the first two weeks off for this reason, but I am back in the saddle as of Sunday, Yee Haw-and I will see how it all goes. But traditionally Feb can be a bit more quiet than January. But some times you do get lucky, even in February. I do have to say my worst escort experience did happen in Feb, around Valentines day to be exact! It didn't involve violence, but it was one of the most embarrassing encounters I have ever had the misfortune of enduring.  :-X

Well, J since you asked:
I will say now that I went against my normal rules, so had it ended more badly it would have been my fault.
Got an outcall to a guys house, when I get there, he is hopped to the gills on charlie, I don't have a problem working with these types of clients, you just have to figure out what the tick they have is and use it to your advantage. I got loads of experience working in Amsterdam! So, I am there for 15mins, and not money, ok so I begin to mention this fact, and I start to get the oh I couldn't take money out of the cash machine, because he had reached his limit for the day. OK can happen, so I decided to get lost and just chalk it up to a really rotten day. Then this little voice in my head said, "play this one out", as my normal alarm bells are ringing away. It was a terribly slow day, no calls, and the night wasn't any better. So, I stayed, and at around 8am, I said, ok let's go to the bank now and get my money. Well, guess what, the truth comes out. The 2.5 million euro house he is in, is his wifes. he was house sitting because he was let out on a weekend pass from his drug rehab center to come home!  >:( I went cold! I walked up to him, grabbed him by the shirt collar pushed him against the wall, and told him, " If you don't get my fucking money now, I will systematically begin to destroy this house room by fucking room!" He pailed, and picked up the phone to call, guess who.... not his wife, but his mother! Who, god love the woman came over to the house with her sister for support, and wrote me out a check for the agreed upon amount. Then as she was taking him to task, the sister told me how the father had just died, and the mother was recovering from Breast cancer, and how this was normal for him, cause he basically was always in trouble, and having to call mommy to rescue him! Did I feel, really shitty taking that check! Yes, did I cash it, Yes! And would you believe he had the nerve to call me a few days later! I told him, I had his mothers number and would call her on him! Never heard from him again! This happened on Valentine's day morning 2008! I was away from my family, and various lovers, so I was NOT a happy camper!
I do get into some very funny situations.

That is downright ridiculous. I like the part where you grabbed his shirt and beat his ass! Thats how its supposed to be done, shit....Find the nearest baseball-bat like object and just go to town! And in a miliion dollar house like that I'd be walking out with TV's and antiques and all  :D

The first week was crap. I had that runner I spoke about, then a young boy I'd seen before wanting to tag-team me with his mate without first asking my permission. He couldn't see any difference, seeing as I already had sex with strangers, what the difference was in just bringing along a friend. Apart from one booking it was a week I wrote off.
Since then things have been better.

Post by: Violette on 19 March 2009, 08:16:30 am
LOL, no it hasn't gotten that bad! I have just place a another profile up in Holland with a different name, a few other pictures, with a slightly lower price (10 euros difference!) to see what the response is. The Dutch are notoriously cheap. I kid you not, 5 euros can make a big difference here!

It is hysterical, cause I have two phones, and they will call on the higher price number, and ask what is included, and say-"no that is too much.' Then the same guy will call on my second profile, ask the same question, and book! 10 euros difference. But that is how the Dutch are.

The reason I refer to it as the Tesco's model is, in the stores, they will have a known brand of let's say baby oil-Johnston and Johnston's which sells for 3.00 euros. Then right next to it they will have the Tesco's brand, slightly different packaging, slightly different smell, and it will cost 1.99! They both do the same thing. Oil your body. But some people prefer the smell of J&J, trust the product, have a sentimental attachment to the product, etc.

The bottom line, is the client wants a screw, whether it is from an established professional-Violette, or from a bored house wife-Sophie (second profile) is irrelevant to them. Branding isn't important to all clients. So, if I have to be Sophie for a while, so be it.  :-[

It gets crazier, I have a girlfriend, who uses a French accent on the phone! I can't be in the same room with her when she is on the phone, cause I fall over dying with laughter, she sounds like a character out of 'Allo, 'allo! She too has a second profile up with a bit of a cheaper price, and the same thing is happening to her. Sometimes the same person will call all of our numbers, one right after the other!

I too have been struggling with a serious bout of the 'quiets'. Every time waster is calling me from all over the damn country, which is making me a peevish bitch, so I am biting off heads of all and sundry. But I am in Killarney Ireland and usually I am hoping about like a mad thing, I have been sitting in the lobby of a rather posh hotel, which is in front of the apartments I am using, and I have run through the lobby menu. Been here since about 10 this morning and had only one call! About to go and get a facial at 5pm, and chill out in the spa they have here.

It may just be the time of the month where people don't have money, plus it's coming up to Christmas. You may notice work picking up at the start of the month.
My week's been pretty standard but I only see a few clients per week. I did have a quite patch over bank holiday weekend in August but, as you said, it happens in this job.

Have you thought about going on tour? I know it's difficult to predict when you're going to be quiet/busy but a tour to a major city like London or Manchester could help business I guess.

I'm taking time off from my day job and spending a week in London to do Christmas shopping but also going to work a day or two  as I've heard there's potential for more business in London... only time will tell!

Glad you posted this before I did because I havent been online in a few days and had an urge to bitch about how sucky work has been. I'm barely sustaining myself from whats left over from an overnight. Plus I went and splurged on some decorations last weekend...Im feeling a bit worried.

The other day, my weekly regular texted me that he'd like to see me soon but that he "had some things to pay off"...So Im just crapping in my pants at the moment

I sympathise, and I know I have had the odd quiet week where I've been petrified by the Thursday thinking I would starve if it kept up, but fortunately it's always just a blip. The punters who are going to see these other two are surely not your customers - trade like this you can do without, and I don't class ladies like this as my competition; what they offer and what I offer are categorically not the same thing and don't appeal to the same people.

It might sound a bit trite and obvious but have you given your ads a good going over recently? Where does most of your traffic come from? Could you use some new pictures or maybe a bit of a website rehash? I regularly go over my advertising and try to refresh it - just setting up a profile and then sitting back to watch the cash rolling in doesn't work - my website traffic always flies up if I have new pictures or a new review. It is no different to any other business - the more effort you put in, the more rewards you will get out of it.

Working away helps too - I try to get a few days in another town/city each month just because it keeps me refreshed and interested, and means I can keep things lower key when I'm at home. There is an article on touring on the main site - it's harder work but even three days a month can make up for a couple of quiet weeks.

Well, it's only my opinion, but if you don't have a website and are relying on AW and the free classifieds (which IME attract nothing but hagglers and timewasters - I pulled my Vivastreet ad after a month as the bloody idiots were driving me mad), you're really missing out on a hell of a lot of potential custom. I get very little from AW myself unless I'm working away and have my phone number up, and even then the number of twatcalls goes through the roof.

Have you thought of getting your own site? It could get you on Punterlink, Puntingzone, UK Belles, Select an Escort (all free) and a fair few others. You can also advertise on Punternet for ?15 a month using just your phone number (AW links are not allowed) - some ladies find this a good site (like me), others don't, but you only pay a month at a time so it could be worth a try. Unfortunately with Adultwork you are always going to be battling with the Bareback Barbies - I've found there are actually lots of nice clients on there, but they can't always be bothered to dredge through the dross. Websites don't have to cost a lot and make a lot of difference - if clients Google '(your area) independent escorts', what do they find?

adult work is one of those sites that initially you are very busy from then it dies off and that where the hard work comes from  i only use it now if im touring ect
you really need (my opinion only ) is to have a website that is your along with your a/w profile and advertise on the main message boards
punternet
punterlink
uk bells  these three sites bring me loads of traffic 
other good site are selectanescort  belles uk oad girl directory
 
I also advertise on london websites, irish escort sitesm and local regional websites as well as joining ther mesage boards for these areas  its my full time job so i spend around 1 hour a day marketing my website and making sure that it working correctly 
I dont mind anwsering calls to someone if they are in the wrong area because one day they might be in my area or i might be in there area
google your area under escorts ..... name of town city and think of how a bloke would look for you 
guys look under different search terms for me i have made sure that every where in my website i have bristol

VI escort escort bristol ebony escort bristol ect ect as this help with the search engines

You know what it might be? People are probably out sick from the seasonal changes! I had an overnight postponed due to it, and this guy had never cancelled an appointment.

Joey, I've heard some shite excuses in my time, but that has to be one of the worst ever. The weather over here changes every ten minutes, ffs. I almost wish I still had a civvy job just because I would have loved to have heard a bosses reaction to me calling in sick because the 'season was changing', although I suspect it would have included (in no particular order) the words: cards, your, get, taking, piss, the  ;D.

I don't know Amy - the way this country is softening up - you could possibly get a sick note for seasonal changes    ;D

If they can cancel trains in the Autumn for it raining 'the wrong kind of rain' then I believe anything is possible!

Well it ought to be busy up to christmas, its only about 10 weeks off. Theres just no way to predict this industry at all.
Ive had a decent week but am managing to reduce the number of TWs lately and stay focussed on repeat visits. Recently moved so lost a few but have had several new ones come back. They are your bread and butter and also it feels great to see a friendly face too. Next week could be pants though. Try updating your profiles and ads around the end of the month as its payday week for a lot.

This is the quietest period I have ever had.  The only time the phone is ring is a time waster.  It usually goes very quiet when it rains  - and it has been torrential - but it's been lovely the last two days.

Where has everyone gone? Even camming is dead.

Time is never wasted, at least I am doing all the chores I put off all year.  Hey ho.

It's quiet. Very quiet. I have even rung my own phone to check the thing is working!
Been ill the last few days and missed calls which is infuriating as now I am fit to work there are no calls!
Grrrr.

Gemma, some of us are grizzled old birds, and text-speak makes our brains hurt  :-\.

I do enthusiastically agree with the highlighted bit of your post,  although I'm happy to stay in and shag as I live 100 yards from the North Sea and it's getting fairly nippy up here. You could always try a club, provided you're not too bothered about getting paid.

From the sounds of things, everybody needs to haul arse to the coast - I turned down lots of bookings from unknowns last week because of the HH/Punternet fiasco (the possible consequences of the local rag/busybodies/idiots deciding to have a nosey about wasn't a risk I was prepared to take) and still had 2 or 3 a day - this week is looking very much the same. I do think everyones idea of what constitutes busy is different though - I know that would be dead-as to some ladies, but more than three and I start getting hungry/tired/in a mood  ;D.

It could be the climate up here - maybe I look like something to hibernate in?  ;)

It's not so cold down here Amy - balmy for the last couple of weeks. Have not had heating on since April and it's October, almost the middle! Can't believe I am not feeling cold yet!

I got the most sickening cold last week and missed a few calls. Had to turn off my phone in the end as my temperature spiked through the roof and the constant banging headache along with being barely audible to callers made it impossible to explain over and over that I was not working for a few days.

I had this one guy who went totally ape on me for cancelling a Saturday booking and left horrible remarks on my website - which I deleted - the most unreliable escort ever he claimed. I am off to check out all the sites this morning to see if he's left horrible remarks elsewhere.
I mean, I ask you? Would he rather have turned up while I could barely remember my own name and was sneezing all over the place, thrown his money away on a rubbish booking and then caught the cold as well?
Some guys just rile me up the wrong way!
Had a lot of time wasters as well lately. I seem to go through stages of them - nothing then they all come along at once. It just ruins my appetite for it all. After all this time I still fail to see what they get out of it. Do they really imagine I will sit here, dressed and waiting on them to arrive then they do not? If I don't hear from them the day of the booking I don't get ready for them so they are wasting their time imagining I do! It just has been a very irritating week or so here.
Still dragging myself out of bed each day feeling slightly lousy - I can't remember ever having a cold that sapped me of so much energy before. It's just hanging about day after day. Making me grumpy I am afraid, I lost my tolerance and sense of humour for the jerks we inevitable encounter.
I am happy your doing okay up there though - perhaps they hit oil and are not saying? They are celebrating with you!
Take care.

Now Amy, this is exactly what my client told me last week. You were saying that it was the most ridiculous excuse you've ever heard LOL. I think Abby's excuse was very similar to his! He didnt want me to catch his 'flu' and so wanted to postpone the overnight booking. Best believe I turned that around immediately and got him to go forward with the booking, albeit a day late! I was so not going to miss that overnight  :-[ I would have happily caught the flu, cold, whatever as long as it was curable!

Recall the thread I wrote called, "what paying for sex really means". That in a nutshell is in my opinion the nucleus of why timewasters do what they do. That thread was derived from a person who felt negatively about paying for sex all his life, and completely different after I spoke for just 30 seconds.

The stigma about working gals and men pales in comparison to the way some men feel about paying for it. Even if they have no intention of paying, just the sight of you collecting money from sex irritates them so much that they want to make you jump through hurdles. Its like racism, its because they are ignorant (I call it ig-nant) and dont understand it fully that they hate.  Please eat well, they arent worth missing a lunch  ;)

Joey, that really isn't what you said  ;). You told us that your client had cancelled because 'seasonal changes' had made him ill - the emergence of a slight nip in the air and a few brown leaves never gave anybody the flu. Therefore I stand by my post - phoning in four times a year at my last job and saying I couldn't come in because I was incapacitated by the seasonal changes would have got me about as much sympathy as saying I was staying at home because I'd been out drinking snakebites until 5am, and had as a result bowked all over my work clothes and slept in the wheelie bin  ;D.

I do know three people who have had swine flu and were proper poorly for a week - when I had normal flu I was off work ill for nearly a fortnight and couldn't even brush my hair as it hurt so much. Not nice  :(.

lol, n-n-n-no. That was my excuse for them. That due to seasonal changes it may be causing them to get sick thereby causing people to cancel or not call anyone at all.

My clients excuse was still he had been out sick from the flu, and was didnt want me to catch anything. All in all though he was fine when we met. Honestly though I dont think it was true at all, I think it was more of him testing me to see how much I really wanted the booking  ::)  Sometimes people like to do that, cancel a date but in actuality its just a test to see how much I really want them

 Hey ladies,

I was just wondering if it's just me personally or is everyone really quiet this week? I've been on shift all of yesterday and today and not even had a single booking!  :'(
How are you indie girls finding things at the moment? Are any other girs that work for agencies having the same experience as I am? My agency reckons it's the same for everyone at the moment but come on, not a single booking in 2 days?!  >:(
(and only 1 last week too)

I've always found it quiet up to Xmas.  This year, as I said in Joey's holiday post, there is a recession too.  This year there is also (as I posted about before) the impact of Clause (get it?  Clause? Santa??)  sorry - Clause 13 of the new bill, which I assume you all know about (no one commented before when I mentioned it so sorry if I repeat myself).  

I think we just have to ride it out (or  not - so many puns sorry), but in my experience, they soon return.  You just now have to make sure you advertise yourself as completely independent, as that's what they (new clients) will want to make sure about.  April is the time when this new law will  probably come into effect, so expect another spell of this being highlighted in media, and the punters going quiet for awhile.  

The new law only applies in the UK, so Joey, I guess your quiet spell is due to Xmas and the recession only.

Post by: amy on 11 December 2009, 05:28:48 pm
I had a quiet week at the end of November (6 bookings but 4 bloody cancelled), which I always find to be a bad week but I can't say I've noticed any significant downturn since then - I've been in London all this week and was booked solid (give or take) before I even left the house; I actually felt like a fraud for leaving my ads up. One cancellation and that was swiftly reassigned  ;D. I am also pretty much booked up Christmas week, although I am building a standby list for that one, as peoples plans can change (or be changed for them) so quickly it's the only practical way.

I didn't have any bookings in the last week of November. I hadn't actually noticed since at the volume I work at an empty week is nothing special. This week I've just had one so far but again that's not a big deal for me, in general the work's coming in ok.

I was pleasantly surprised that on the day of Thanksgiving, the moment I finished my dinner, the calls were rolling in. And from there, I had 1,2,3 bookings...1 by the same person.

Since then I havent had but 1 booking since. Im so afraid right about now  :-\ Im frightened Aunti Em, I frightended  :'(

I've been a bit quiet too, but have taken a couple of advance bookings for Jan. I suppose I shouldn't really complain that much, as  the damn phone keeps going when I can't work, such as in my volunteer job or in a course. Last week I missed 7 calls, because I had other comittments, and then had a day when the phone didn't ring at all.  :(

Bloody men, why can't they be horny when I'm available?! ;D

Cassie, punters have radar I swear.  I thought I was the only one who experienced this phenomena.   I've had times where I am available all the time for work for 3 weeks running, with all the boxes ticked (neighbours on holiday, having break from gym, all caught up on other stuff, all clear, let's go boys) - nope - hardly get calls, and as soon as I have to commit to something else, all hell breaks loose on the phone.  Drives me insane. 

Joey, was typo on purpose?? "Frightended?" Good word though!  Sounds like a very bad shag lol.

I do remember one of our agency ladies posting a while back that whilst her indie bookings were fine and had been increasing, her agency jobs had just about ground to a halt. I can't remember any more about it than that or even who it was, but maybe you could knock up an AW profile or something just for now and test the water a bit?  :)

Could've been me - even if not, the same thing has happened. When you're the new girl on the books, you get a ton of bookings through an agency, but then it naturally tails off. They do keep employing new New Girls so that they can keep their clients interested and keep making the maximum through their commission, and often their advertising isn't perfect, or they don't know how to sell their girls to clients once they ring. They don't usually *really* care about the older girls on the books... you end up just being filler for the website and a backup in case no one else will take a particular booking.

However, I managed mostly by luck to time my indie launch right so that as agency work tailed off, I was getting myself established and didn't have to go through much of a 'dry stage'. I'm still as busy as ever indie-wise, though I do keep my advertising limited cos I'm fussy and busy with other stuff. I use Twitter and a blog partly as advertising (so that clients can feel like they 'really know me') and partly to let off steam.

BTW, there's no magical formula for Successful Indieness. Just have a little stalk around the sites of established indies which are rather easily found round here ;D and see where they're advertising, and maybe see who their site was designed by, etc. I remember that the main articles on the SAAFE site were a pretty simple checklist of things to do, too. So going indie was easy, to be honest! Don't forget to play up your own unique characteristics and sort out your business plan - those are the fun bits. :)

Oh I've already been 'nosy' lol and looked at a few sites, as well as looking at  local (Newcastle) indie sites to get an idea of what's already on offer, and I've read the posts on here about creating your own site so I've done quite a bit of research  ;D (actually that's my favourite bit).  Colette also recommended a good photographer so I have in mind exactly how I'd like my site to look and the style of the photographs etc, I just need to put it all together now. My main obstacle though is not having anywhere to do incalls but it's something that can be worked around with hotels I reckon.
I've potentially got some major changes coming up in my personal life in the New year so at the moment I'm not entirely sure I'm going to continue escorting after that..... if I do however  it's bye bye agency and I will be launching myself 100% into becoming a successful INDEPENDANT!!

Well, not much to say other than I'm handling it better than last year. I know its just a matter of it passing, a blip non-the-less. But its making me think I should have not even worked this month. I might have to start setting tables at Holiday parties if I can find any. Only issue is my hair hasn't been done in 2 weeks and to walk around like this....ugh I look a mess!

Do you think Ireland was busy for you because you were on tour there and people didn't want to miss the opportunity to miss you? The whole "If I don't get my chance now I never will" mentality? I got a fair few enquiries when I was about to visit london but I don't know if I'll be as "popular" when I move there.

Def take somoNe with you  -  i would not work there if i did not have someone with me for security  to be honest even if its just to run to the shops for you  there are a lot of robberies ect in ireland if you advertise on ei which is the green board you will get access to the warning boards with all teh dodgy number and timewasters ect
and you do have to advertise in ireland as well but ei is very good worth joining the message board in advance so that you can get a feel for things and teh prices ect
 
Dont tell the guys  on the phone though its not you as they will think its an agency so if your friend anwsers the phone for you   make sure she knows your services ect ect 
my other half texts back lots of clients for me as he cant anwser the phone and he get lots of bookings lined up for me when i am busy

Hi everyone.

I started reading this  as the last few days have seemed to be really quiet,  understandable really with Christmas and all but as I was reading this I just had three messages for bookings one after an other. Very odd but I'm guessing in this industry things wont stay quiet forever. I guess it's not the oldest profession in the world for nothing.
Anyway I am new to all this and have only seen four clients so far and I am enjoying it far more than I ever thought I would.
I'm hoping 2010 will be a great year for me and for all of you.
(Apologies if I went off topic)

How delightful. Glad you're enjoying it.

And 2010 BETTA be better this year LOL. I don't know about anyone else but optimism is certainly in the air for 2010, compared to 2 years ago when the outlook for the coming year was so dim.

Cheers, lets get drunk!

Its that time of year again, Im about to have a bitch fit!

Here it is January already, can you believe it? How are things faring up lately? Mines been quiet, but I think last year was worst. Im just trying to stay calm, and repeat that its just a blip and hopefully things will change for the better soon.

It doesnt help that I just moved into a new place and the bills are piling on top of my head. Plus Im looking for additional regular work as well. I've even been surfing craigslist selling cheap blowjobs and looking manual labor liek moving furniture but havent had much luck.

Plus the bastards on craigslist keep flagging my ad. Why? Because I have the privledge to sell myself so I can freaking get through the next day? This country sucks. They allow people to post all sorts of derogatory bullshit for a free fuck, but the moment someone respects themselves and puts some fucking value on their body, they get mad  >:(

I really hope next year I can take a vacation from the industry in January. This month is so sluggish and desolate, Im more frustrated with the TW's and people wishing they could make a booking. I mean, stuff is coming here and there, but its sparse.

I felt like one of those beast in the African Savannas. When there's no grass, the ground is parched and flies are buzzing and biting all around you just getting on your damn nerves.You're just hanging on for dear life hoping that soon...one day, it'll rain. Yet there's no rain, just dark clouds...maybe even a drizzle. No, we want the downpour!

ok maybe thats a bit dramatic, but its close enough!

I was prepared for January being a bit on the quiet side but was really hoping that after pay day it would pick up, but nope. One client in the last 2 weeks. Dead...my phone that is, not the client! Is this normal? I'm in Edinburgh.

I've rejigged my website and upped my my advertising, but if anything things have gotten quieter. Starting to think there might not be a market for a young BBW in Scotland  ???


ANY advice is welcome, pleaaaaaaase!

monday had 5 booking
tuesday 4 booking
wed 1 booking  ( calling myself to book myself
thurs 3 bookings     

Normally im on 3-5 bookings a day on average but the phone is just dead dead   just those that are calling are booking thank fuck  On the day that i had one booking i had 3 phone calls all day 
had quite a few guys asking for discounts as well so i think that they are still skint and feeling the credit card bills hitting on the floor  in feb

I am currently in Ireland, and it is DEAD! The phones are not ringing, and the idiots that do call and book are TW, so my enthusiasm is somewhat diminished, to the point, that only until the client calls and says he is standing at the door, only then do I bother to get up and get my clothes sorted. Over-exaggeration of course, but you get the idea. Let's say I am catching up on my TV series, just fine.

You may want to try some of the minor directories.  Just google "escort Edinburgh" and arrange a listing on absolutely every directory for the first five pages or more.  This is incredibly boring but it does work.  I get clients from places where I forgot I was listed!  You may also want to try other escort related searches for your area because these all result in slightly different directories.

One day I can't take every booking as they all want to be seen right now or at 3pm - I might be good but I can not split into three people at once!
Other days I clear the decks expecting it to be as the day before and it's dead, I am starting to think of painting the last wall in the dining room as nothing else is going on...

I have to say work is up and down here as well. One day I'm turning down 4 or 5 clients the next day just riddled with obvious time wasters. Still keeping my head above the water with regulars but it would be nice if a few guys would try to give me a bit more notice to help me plan things out. One thing we (my partner and I) have notices is that our duo service seems to be pulling in the punters so there must be some money about!

Good luck to you all and remember things can only get better, so they say  :-\

Quiet isn't the word I'd use. Totally fucking dead would be more accurate. February is always a bad month, but this one has been the absolute pits. Trying to work out if there are more cancellations and non confirmers  than usual, or is just that I don't notice them as much when it's busy because there's always someone else to take their place?

Girlfriend...I'm not exaggerating! Not only am I not used to having incalls...but I'll sit around and thinking they won't come, and next thing I know they are downstairs. There's been several times where I've had to tell them to wait for me for 5 minutes as I just got out the shower  :P

Overalll...this has been a cheap month. I've had very few 1 hour bookings from my expensive sites here and there...but not much. The big spenders are hiding out...but the small amounts are becoming quite lucrative. Febuary is the month of the $50 blow jobs  :P

Having moved away from cities where I've had alot of competitors, I'm no longer feeling the brunt of it as I did last year. Im also able to take incalls which has made a difference. So overall...it could be better, but its been alot worse in previous years.

The weirdest thing happened to me...I was getting on average 1 or 2 clients per day, and finally 1 from my more expensive site (which paid half the rent, whohoo!) and then it suddenly came to a screeching halt the past 2 days. Its like, HELLO! anybody alive out there! (saying in an accent from Titanic)

In fact, I took down all my ads and am basically just gonna survive off what I have until my next booking...

The weather here has also improved significantly...too bad there isnt a beach nearby, its absolutely fabulous though.

Ohh, look at Joey doing the Welsh accent there! Yes, that guy on the boat shouting 'Anybody alive out there' was Welsh! We are all brilliant boat people here you see.... Hmmm...
Anyhow - I have had a crazy busy past 2 weeks and nothing at all this week, not a one, not a single standing upright male! I had a half an hour but he never confirmed and really, can I be bothered to tog up for half an hour on a Thursday afternoon after a week of nothing? Not really...
I have been getting on with boring jobs like glossing the hallway, all those bloody stair spindles... You take it as it comes I guess, you recognise a good run and prepare for a quiet spell after - it's always gone that way for me. It's one of the reasons I love what I do. I can work for a week or two and then not work for an entire week meaning time off and relax and bugger about with silly things like repainting the woodwork. At the end of a month, cash balances out so why worry too much? When the going is good, I take full advantage of it. When the going is slow, I relax and enjoy the fact I can take a walk on the beach at midday if I wish, when others are in their offices, stuck, bored and depressed.

But eventually something just clicks and we're on to something.

AW has been a dead loss for me for several months now.  There are fewer reverse bookings available than ever, and those that do get put up are wasters looking for dirty emails.  I've decided to focus on other sites because AW hasn't been worth the effort for a long time.

I have had a really weird couple of weeks - last week included my busiest day since I became an escort (4 appointments, and my boyfriend came over in the evening as well, I was shattered!) and my quietest (one 15 min booking). This week has been better, Monday and Tuesday were about average, Wednesday was busy and yesterday WOULD have been busy if a time waster hadn't made a 2 hour appointment for the evening and then texted to say he'd be half an hour late and then not shown up! So I had to turn down two other potential clients I could have fit into the 2 wasted hours. Blah.

You know...it really just takes time and patience. Its hard to maintain it when things are so slow, but eventually it pays off. The benefits of perserverance and creativity is empowering.

By the way, our time changed last week! Where you been Europe? LOL. In addition, the weather (which you mentioned) today was absolutely magnificent. Today, I had gotten a hotel on the high floor, and it just happened to have a balcony with a full sized sliding door. I was able to open the door while the sheer see-thru curtans were closed, and the wind and sunny weather was blowing the curtains over the edge of the balcony and into the room, which reminded one of my guest of South France LOL.

Better weather has already arrived! Go away Old man winter!

You must feel very frustrated  :(

Apart from making sure that your marketing and pics are good etc., I'm not sure what to suggest. I do not think it is you at all, it is probably just a slow few weeks etc, I know that this month in general has been pretty slow for me. I know its really infuriating, but all you can do is wait it out and not give up. As you say your appearance hasn't changed and your marketing is better so it just cannot be you. Maybe you could go on tour?  Just to get away from the place, sometimes changing environment can really help, not to mention that you will probably make a little more money. Also it could test your theory of it being you, and give you a confidence boost  :)

You can always use my place  ;D

Hi honey

I really think this year has been very on off for a lot of people, indies, parlour & agencies. The  UK isn't out of the recession & we've had sport, after sport, after sport! Every business suffers during times like this, so it's not personal against you. I can & do totally understand that it can really make you feel like that, after all our product is well us. So like every business when it gets slow you review your stock so to speak.

So I guess what I 'm trying to say is chin up & be kind to your self, plus here's some cyber hugs H xxx

If you do outcalls could you change the city/towns that you regularly advertise in?
I travel the north west but always stuck to Manchester when having to select one city location.
As I live slightly nearer to Liverpool, I changed the location,popped in an L1 postcode and several weeks later am still seeing all the interest that a *newbie* gets and business isn't bad again!
You could be in a city with a saturated market ( like Manchester is ) so a bit of research on the main sites would show you what you are up against, price-wise/services offered etc.

Hi guys, I've had a really quiet few weeks and am getting quite worried :-\. I've been escorting for about 3/4 months now and have always been busy, right from the start.
Then suddenly about three weeks ago everything went quiet. I went from having 2 hr+ bookings regularly, at least one overnight a week and generally having more work than I can cope with, to having days on end with out a single enquiry.
I got really paranoid and thought someone must have put up a bad review of me somewhere, but I've looked on every review site I can think of and cant find anything.
Has anyone else experience anything like this? I'm really hoping things go back to normal soon as my rent is two weeks late as it is. If things dont pick up I'm going to have to join an agency, which is something I swore I'd never do.
Anybody got any advice? kim xxx

Join the club (free membership)

Everyone is feeling the pinch. Several reasons -
1. time of year -people are on holiday
2 time of year - not wanting to do anything physical with the warm weather we were having
3. recession - punters are cutting out luxes
4. World cup and other goings on
5. ummm .....nope I have run out.

All in all its a bit doom and gloom. Just try and not get too downhearted and look at new ways to market yourself.

Im in the same boat  :(

But in my case, I really think its because of the town Im in also. Location is everthing. Every since I got back from tour last month, things have been depressingly slow. I've already made up my mind that I'm going to end up subletting my apartment next month because honestly, I dont think i'll make it to the end of the year.

10 more days til rent is due, and leasing managers still bugging me about a 2 day late fee...

My God, 2nd post like this one for the week  :(  (but thanks for ranting for me, as SAAFE seems to ignore mine nowadays)

At first I thought it was just me, but seems there is a virus going around. Vaccinations anyone  ???  Its been very slow here for me. Earlier this month I made rent money in 1 weekend, but now Im struggling to get by, and feel lucky to have gotten the luxury to pay my gym membership this month and get an oil change.

And my damn apartment complex keeps calling me about a friggin late rent payment of $100, which I dont have! If I had the money, I would give it to them, but I dont. I havent been getting any clients lately. Its been down to 2 per week at the moment.

There's definitely something - I'm not noticing much of a difference in the number of actual bookings, just things like the number of enquiries being down but I don't mind that. I think the bit leading up to the school summer holidays is likely to be hit and miss because people are paying for trips away and planning family time, and the heat won't help either.

I tend not to suffer as much living in a holiday resort, but the flip side is all the extra last-minute cancellations from would-be punting visitors whose plans have changed (or been changed for them) at the eleventh hour, and it does get infuriating. A lady I know in Leeds hasn't had a proper booking for a fortnight and is about at the end of her tether - I don't know what to suggest to her either. This is when I count myself lucky for my regulars :).

Everyone is feeling the pinch. Several reasons -
1. time of year -people are on holiday
2 time of year - not wanting to do anything physical with the warm weather we were having
3. recession - punters are cutting out luxes
4. World cup and other goings on
5. ummm .....nope I have run out.

All in all its a bit doom and gloom. Just try and not get too downhearted and look at new ways to market yourself.

Also with the shool holidays here, clients are going away, then when they come back having to pay for childcare while both parents are at work. This time of year is usually very quiet but it has been quieter than normal. I'm struggling as I've only just come back after 6 months off, thank goodness for regulars.

A lady I know in Leeds hasn't had a proper booking for a fortnight and is about at the end of her tether - I don't know what to suggest to her either. This is when I count myself lucky for my regulars :).

Ok, I had to look up fortnight...but wow, 2 weeks!?

This is exactly why I need my gym membership. To escape from frightningly scariness of being home with no calls. I'd probably go mad to sit up in the house all these days, getting little or no bookings and not be able to get out the house.

Hi Sexykim

Not much to add to this thread asides from a reassurance that its not just you. Things have been really quiet where im working at the moment. Both my agency work and indie is really hit and miss. Some days you are busy and some days you sitting thinking 'Wow im so glad i just shaved my nether regions raw and painted on that fiddly liquid eyeliner for this'
Its does pick up though, you just have to hang on in there. The waiting can be soul destroying and its totally normal to feel like your Andrew Lloyd Webbers slightly less attractive younger sister. It will pass however and when your busy again you will forget all about it (until the next time anyway,thats just the nature of the job i think)

well said Simone...

But in my case, its just the bills wont be so forgiving  :'(  In additon, July has seemed to go around so fast! Or maybe its because I still have unpaid bills and its already the 21st! Usually my bills are out the way by the end of the 1st or 2nd week. Its been a fast, rough month for me (except the 4th of July holiday which was busy).

I also see there's so new guys popping up on the local ads, which have got me a bit nervous  :-\  :P  :-[

Hello guys!

Maybe this is good time to go on tour to another city or country? When you will put your advertation then you will be "new" in the region where people don't know you and then they will call you. At least is better than sitting and waiting, while it can be also more fun to go to other place.

I'm in Manchester and it is very quiet. Also lots of idiots making bookings and then either cancelling or not confirming on the day. Very frustrating. I'm always busy when on tour so kind of relying on that at the mo.

Something is definitely different. Calls and enquiries are down, I am still seeing my regs but newbie clients aren't even calling to haggle! I am away to Ireland tomorrow, but I have noticed there as well that the forums are awash with recession speak. On another note, summer is nearly over...lets hope for autumn. Sexy Kim, do not despair. Christmas is upon us!

Hi guys, thanks for all the replies. So good to know its not just me, I did get really paranoid for a bit.
On a positive note today hasn't been too bad work wise and I've just been to the bank to pay my rent, so at least I know I wont get evicted  :).
Lets hope things pick up soon, for all of us.

But we don't have air con chick. At best we have a fan and a crone saying  'if you think this is hot you should have been here in '76'...its not even like you only abstain from aircon if you are poor..its more you only have aircon in Sainsburys (jc penneys, sears) 70 to us is skating the edge! Also, consider this. 70 percent of cars on the road have no air con, 35 percent of shops, and at a guess 20 percent of escorts..

Lol, looks like I missed you last week in Maidstone.  You should have rung me up!

No point in getting stressed about anything.  Just taking advantage of the good weather (Joey it is averaging 25-28c this week and humid), and getting  an all over tan and watching the cricket. Have to look on the bright side to everything.

I dont blame you. I have really stooped low this week. I have been going on dating sites pretending I want free sex, only to say I'd like to get paid once we're on the phone.

It gets on my nerves. 2 married men wanting a young guy to fuck them, and a super-closeted man wanting me to fuck him, but not be seen with me in public. Neither one of them willing to pay even $50 for their fantasy. This is what I run into on the dating sites.

I wish some places had the mentality of New York. And understand that, if you want someone to cater to your fantasy then you need to stop being so DAMN cheap and loosen up the wallets. Young guys like me are hungry and behind on bills...and they mother fucking ass with money and steady jobs cant even drop down $100. Shit makes me so angry  >:(   >:(  >:(

I am starting to get a little more busy but not hugely and mostly this is down to sport being over and the weather cooling down but I dont think things are going to get a lot better until mid to late august and the holiday season is nearing the end and punters are sick of the sight of their families.

I've been escorting for about 3/4 months now and have always been busy, right from the start.
Then suddenly about three weeks ago everything went quiet.

If you've been using Adult Work since you started 3/4 months ago then what I call "the honeymoon period" is over.   It's the same for girls in parlours I think.  It just settles down a bit.  My first four months on AW I earned at least double what I do now  :(  But new girls come along who are flavour of the month.  But remember there are always new clients coming along as well.

Try not to be paranoid about it ... easier said than done, I know.  Usually, just as I'm about to throw the towel in, I get a mad rush of bookings and everything is ok again.  I once went through around three weeks where EVERY SINGLE CLIENT cancelled.  I mean ALL of them.  By the end of it I knew every time the phone rang it would be a cancellation.  I honestly just sat down and cried.  I was "what the hell is going on?"   The following week about half of them rang to rebook, etc. etc.  But that made me seriously paranoid. LOL my head was doing overtime.

Thats all I can do tonight is just sit and and cry tonight. When I actually did get a booking tonight, I had taken an afternoon nap and didn't hear the phone go off  :'(

Its the worse feeling. When I do cry, I think its absurd for me to cry because no one wants to pay me for sex at the moment. It seems unjustified to cry over it and makes me feel even more upset

I think we've all been there Joey. Sometimes it really gets to you and you take it personally. This job sends your emotions all over the place. You get a good week and you are buzzing and think you are the bee's knees. Then you get a bad week and think God what is wrong with me?

I have had the grand total of a one hour booking this week so far. I must admit it is partly my fault as I was unavailable Monday and Tuesday.

Yesterday I had a one hour booked in for 7pm who I had met before. I thought there was a reason why I didn't want to see him from last time but couldn't be sure. Anyway, he called in the morning to confirm as requested. He asked if he could change it from 7pm to 2pm which I couldn't so we agreed on 5.30pm. That irritated me. Then in the afternoon he texts me "Can you send me a pic to get me in the mood". I txt him forget it. Then he starts grovelling and apologising. I wouldn't see him. Just couldn't be arsed.  ::)

If you were selling tickets for River Boat Rides  ??? for a living and one weekend you hardly sold any you wouldn't sit down and cry and think really badly of yourself.  You'd probably think "oh well there were lots of football matches this weekend.  Also it rained.  I might try different publicity or ways of selling".  But it wouldn't devastate you.

But when it's ourselves we are "selling", when we know we have to look good, be charming, sexy and entertaining and the work isn't coming in we blame ourselves, our confidence is undermined.  It's a whole new level of 'rejection'.

For a moment I thought you were expecting me to not cry and instead think of other reasons why LOL. But its true, there really isn't anything to make up an excuse for when you're having to downgrade to cheap sex because the place I live in is full of tight-wad fuckers who think a young 22 year old college guy is going to be happy to sleep with their FAT, out of shape ASSES. Why in the sandhill? when I bust my ass in the gym night and day, while they sit eating fucking tacos all day with a beer belly gut? Because they know they cant find ANYBODY else like me to give them the time of the day, ugly cheap sucker!  >:(  >:(

This is very common for a 2nd time client. They book perfectly on time the 1st go, but the 2nd go they start changing up the times. The minute someone changes a time, that sends a shockwave alert that he might be BSing. And everytime, usually they are.

Get your fucking schedule straight MAN! Don't come to me with that bullsh!t. I told a guy that once. I emailed him to never email me again and to call like he did last time. Because you not going to use ME as an entertainment while you jerk off at work. Dont play with me, cause I dont play that!  >:(

And he actually booked again the next week! Just goes to show, some men need to be cursed at....

Awww  :'(  hugs...

Im tempted to start pawning things just to eat and repost an ad. Im down to 1 craigslist ad from 5 days ago and rice to eat. Part of this is contributed to going out and spending $40 last Saturday! Which is why I dont like partying too much unless things are going REALLY well  :(

And it all makes me SO upset that I fooled around with that cheap client-boyfriend. I been telling him business was slow and he couldn't even hook me up with fucking 50 bucks. Thats why no more play without pay. Its hard to stay sane when things are going slow, and sometimes just going over to eat, drink and watch TV at someone's place is better off than sitting home bored and hungry, but it tends to come back around and bite in the ass!

Thats true. same over here where I live. Alot of the guys haven't heard of the designated escort sites so craigslist and backpage are much more common.

Only drawback is, many of the guys on the local ads seem to view the ads (atleast with the guys, unsure about girls) like the 1980s escort prices of $100. Anything more than that is often met with resistance...

Well thank goodness there has been a break in the silence today. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!

I actually ended up throwing an ad up on a free section while looking for labor jobs (I was seriously considering a gig to sweep floors or set tables!). I ended up getting quite a few inquries within minutes and was lucky to be able to fill the fridge with my favorite foods! I was walking in the grocery store as if I had a million bucks to spend LOL.

I kept repeating myself...it can only stay so bad for so long. I will advertise EVERYWHERE if thats what it takes, regardless of how awful the site can be to advertise on. Im stil not completely out of the wind, as weeks like those take 3-4 bookings to recoupe from, but atleast Im going to bed happier tonight. These past few nights have been far from peaceful.

Thank god for that. The sooner you move, the better! I can't quite see you sweeping floors J, but how about bar work? The tips are good, and you could perhaps meet some new friends. Just a thought for when you move.

hmmm, I've been down that avenue before. Trying to get bartending jobs at the bars in big cities can be a feat in itself...most aren't willing to let go of the position.

The hospitality/resturaunt industry has never been my forte.

In addition, I am now feeling ambivalent about this move now  :(  Im worried that it may be too hard to find a new apartment similar to the one I have...but, I also dont even know if I SHOULD get a new place right away, and if so..when? And Im also breaking a lease because my apartment complex does not allow subletting  >:( And with all that said, I almost have no choice because I haven't made enough for rent this month, and there's no point in staying anyhow as I probably wont be able to pay for the place with the way things are going here.

Yesterday I had a one hour booked in for 7pm who I had met before. I thought there was a reason why I didn't want to see him from last time but couldn't be sure. Anyway, he called in the morning to confirm as requested. He asked if he could change it from 7pm to 2pm which I couldn't so we agreed on 5.30pm. That irritated me.

This is very common for a 2nd time client. They book perfectly on time the 1st go, but the 2nd go they start changing up the times. The minute someone changes a time, that sends a shockwave alert that he might be BSing. And everytime, usually they are.

Get your fucking schedule straight MAN! Don't come to me with that bullsh!t. I told a guy that once. I emailed him to never email me again and to call like he did last time. Because you not going to use ME as an entertainment while you jerk off at work. Dont play with me, cause I dont play that!  >:(

And he actually booked again the next week! Just goes to show, some men need to be cursed at....



have client like this that keeps jerking me around and I told him today, you either show for the appointment or I won't see you. He asked to see me Wed, I said I maybe out of town and tonight could work....but he's BSing. I need money, now! ugh!  Pouts.

God.  (holds head in hands)

Awww, I know I know. Its just a matter of hanging on at the moment. But I was almost certain that I was busier around this time last year?

Its also amazing, but did you know that majority of 'timewasters' are actually from genuine clients? I mean, think about it. Who else is going to even 'look' at an escort site and go thru the trouble of calling and emailing one? This week...the 2 timewasters that I had were from PREVIOUS clients! They make an appointment, and then fall thru once they realized we actually fucked already.

Its good that you got all your bills paid. Im still behind on 2 of them...rent is due in 5 days but Im probably just going to throw in the towel on this place and move out. Its just that I cant seem to make a definite decision on whether to stay or go

O.K Joey, I'm not your mother but I am going to nag you. I spent a hour or so reading back through some of your posts one day, and from them I can tell you that you CANNOT  possibly stay in Texas. I know it may seem easier, change can be frightening, but if you do, you are going to be broke and/or crazy in a year.

Come on! You are young, fit and you have no ties. Get yourself moved, stable, and then get saving for your international plane tickets and go see some of the world- it won't come to you. And if you tell me anything that starts with But...I am going to get the red eye to San Antonio and move you myself LOL.

LOL, thanks Lucy for the extra kick up the arse. Its just that, its alot easier to say "I wanna move" than actually doing it, but what isn't? Although there's a market out here for me, its very limited. There's no oppurtunity to prosper beyond 30 min and 1 hour massage dates. Honestly, I dont even think people out here realize that it exists elsewhere.

I am back from my weekend trip, and I am this close to getting to SA and dragging him by the ear too. LOL I am glad to you're looking at new avenues to get more bookings. And I agree. Your pressing business is over, and it's about time that you move on. But carefully. Make sure you're prepared to do this.

LOL, my pressing business...well, its not over...as I will continue to carry the skill with me, but at the moment I gave back my 'boyfriend' his massage table back and am really not as motivated to do massages  :(  But one thing for sure, I most certainly will be looking into getting myself a massage table VERY soon.

I've also been away, first ill, then holiday abroad, the ill again. Work was pretty quiet before I was away and I'm hoping it will pick up now, at least it looks more promising than a couple weeks ago.

I've noticed the same some other people have been saying on this forum: the amount of work is okay, but the number of enquiries has come drastically down. Obviously it's good since there's less timewasters, but it also makes me stress a bit, if I only get two enquiries a day, even if those two result in bookings.

I've had far less enquiries than usual but more bookings, so there's hope for us all! Don't forget that kids being off school, annual holidays etc all have an effect at this time of year.
I found it helpful to change my pictures and adjust the wording on my profile/site.
Maybe try offering small discounts for people booking in advance or for regular clients. Sort of like a 'Summer Sale' lol
Good Luck!

I'm getting more enquiries for the end of the month. One thing I have noticed is that I'm getting a lot of very specific, short-notice-same-day enquiries where the chap can only make a certain time. And unfortunately it's usually all for the same times resulting in me turning a lot of guys away.

Any thoughts on why this is?or how to approach it?

Hi strawberry and everyone else i think summertime is always quiet depending on your location as there are to many variables ie holidays =use punting money, kids not at school =use punting money to entertain them,  child care  as not at school=use punting money to pay someone to mind them or take time off work to mind them =cant get away to see us   which brings to the specific short notice appointments they have sneaked away away and only have a limited time time before they are missed (well that is what mine say anyway lol ) and mine all seem to want the same times as well 10.30 am / 1pm  and 3pm and always lose a few at these times .
Also newbies wont realise it is ramadam and none (Hmmmmm) of the muslim clients can have sex and it is early this year started on the 10th of august for a month so it is like a double whammy so to speak .
I always will fling in a paper add if it is a bit quite and do half hours or hours  off them and i find even one insertion carries over for a few days especially if you put in mon to fri etc i dont like to go in the papers everyday as i find you get to many clients off them if you are working from home/flat and you cant answer the phone and work at the same time (.sorry for rambling on) even my regular clients come in last minute in the summer or do a lot of cancelling and rearanging  but what can you do ?
you could always say you had a dentist appointment at one but if they came at say two you would give them a slight discount /more time just this once for being so understanding that thay will come a bit later/earlier as you wouldnt be losing any thing just gaining another booking.

Post by: strawberry on 12 August 2010, 02:32:06 pm
When I offer a different time the client will say they can't make it, it has to be xpm. In the past I've tried offering discount for days that look quieter/or would be more convenient, with the result guys have then been suspicious i.e. there must be something wrong with me or what I'm offering, or they still cannot make it. Had 3 people wanting to see me this morning when I already had a booking arranged. I offered tomorrow morning but they say they aren't free then. Can't see how offering discount there would work - and of course I don't want to get back into that 'suspicion' place!

 End of the month appointments fit in with pay day time and the boys must have budgeted and decided to book you before anyone else gets a chance.
 The '3 busses at once' syndrome can be lunch times - easy to nip away from work and tea-time - tell their nearest and dearest they are working late, so nip off for a session before going home.
 A site you have listed on may have been promoting itself in a particular area ie. magazines, different websites recently which appeal to a certain type of client - hence a change in the types of requests but all similar (if you know what I mean?).

I get this, usually because I only see one a day but the "No no no I want THIS time and no other will do!" response is very common. Often it's, "Huff, I'm sorry you can't see me today. I'm only in London for a few days and then I am OFF to OTHER COUNTRIES, pout, and you may NEVER SEE ME AGAIN, sulk!" followed a few days later by, "Oh, I'm in London again next week, can we arrange something for Tuesday?" Of course not all of them do this, but plenty enough to keep me going happily.

Have you checked to make sure your most inflexible clients aren't actually calling you back another day with a slightly more open diary? I find that offering an appointment for the following day in a flirty voice works maybe half the time and for the others, either they only punt once a year, or weren't that interested in me anyway, or they just call back when they're ready to make an appointment in a more grownup manner. I don't like it when someone calls and seems unable to accept that someone else might've called right before them - it's hardly a stretch of the imagination, is it??

Ah, sorry...I forgot about this thread briefly. Well, at the moment....I only have 1 regular client as I just moved, and even then I only had 1 regular client in the other city. Im also attempting to set up an occasional thing with someone who hired me for an overnight earlier this year, and so far he has been very open to setting something up.  So the percentage would probably be, 0.1% LOL.

What surprises me is that its actually the new clients which are the cornerstone of my income. However, the regulars tend to make it more worth my while.

Hi ladies and boys. So far this week I have had just one enquiry and two withheld numbers, which just get ignored. I'm starting to lose the will to live, I have made a website, not the best in the world but I'm just not a creative person, joined PN, PC, PL, etc and keep up dating my AW profile, so where the hell am I going wrong  ??? I have put my rates down and just don't know what to do next. I really want to get some pictures done but don't want to part with any more cash until I get more clients. Is anybody else having a quiet week?

What are your photos like at the moment? If you can't pay for a proffesional one yet, try to make normal ones as appealing / professional as possible.
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Carla on 15 September 2010, 05:18:01 pm
Hiya Kelly,

I had a peek at your site, and first thing I noticed was that there are quite a few spelling mistakes- for example "inderpendent" instead of "independent" in your very first sentence Also "pre pair" instead of "prepare" etc on your "About me" page. Not having a go or saying that I am the world's best speller (far from it!) but I think that this sort of thing needs to be corrected, as this is the first impression that potential clients get of you, and it needs to be slick enough to entice them into booking! So I'd definitely have a quick spell check :)

Photo wise, maybe a full length one if you can do it with tripod and mirror etc, one that includes high heels, a skirt, suspenders etc?! (Obviously hiding your face if you don't want to show it!) but I think that might give a better impression what you look like. The boob in the shower is a great idea- sexy and eyecatching, but can you get a clearer one perhaps? Also, cn you get one of your lips, or maybe one that shows what you ehair looks like clearly? Obviously without giving your identity away... it is just that I think you need to play up on your good bits as much as possible, so you stand out from the other thousand million billion squillion photos of us all in lace touching our ladygardens  ;)

These are all just ideas that I would mull over myself to make my website as eyecatching and appealing as possible, so only take them as advice and not as gospel! Maybe look at those working near you already, those whose photos make you think "wow" - and ask yourself what is it about them that could inspire your photos? Poses, clothing, a subtle inuendo, a certain expression that you can capture without showing your whole face...... Your website is your shop window, so get tour window display looking hot and the punters will be queuing up to lick your, ahem, windows.  ;D

In terms of how to get more attention with AW advertising, the options and click boxes and general complicatedness of AW makes me hide under the duvet and sob silently, so I wouldn't be able to offer any thoughts there, but I am sure some of our AW using ladies will be along soon with some more pointers!

Oh, and final thing- don't forget that it is the middle of the month when everyone is broke after their summer holidays and waiting patiently for payday to provide them with the money to buy sexyladytime.

Its been quiet for me, although I had a brief upturn in business Monday...but its bad cause Im on tour and had to get my car maintenance due yesterday which took a big chunk, but Im glad I was able to do it.

Maybe its different in the US, but I find weeks 2-4 to be the best money wise, with the 1st weeks of the month to be slow. Either way, I just need some cash. Shit goes quickly after I make it.
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Miss Melanie Minx on 15 September 2010, 09:22:01 pm
Doh, I forgot after writing it to spell check it, I am dyslexic and all of my other soft wear automatically checks my spelling for me. As for the photos I only have the camera on my mobile at the moment. I think that I'm going to have to part with some cash and get some pics done.

I can only really see 2 or 3  clients a week where I live due to my circumstances, so am often having to say no, which I hate.  For this reason I do try and get out of the area and work a little further away.  It might be worth finding out where the black hole areas are, as where I went to on Friday this week I had 4 bookings, 3 of one hour and one of 2 hours and got taken to lunch and had to knock back 2 bookings, as I couldn't have physically done any more.

It was my 3rd time of going there and 2 of the bookings were repeat, with one previous client having to be knocked back.

I am playing this one a little close to my chest as I know I'm on to a good thing, but seriously if you do the research, there are places crying out for good reliable escorts.  Maybe ask on the pn forum?

Just another note about the website. The rules for moonfruit say that they are happy to support a website with adult content as long as it has a disclaimer which yours does but your site may be flagged up because you have a picture that could be deemed to be of an adult nature on the disclaimer which is frowned upon by moonfruit.

Also the second pic on the disclaimer is of a bunch of cloud which even in my convoluted mind can't think of a symbolic link to whoring!

Agree fully, though looking at the general job market things seem to be improving slowly, but the government cutbacks and general doom and gloom reports of the media is making everyone skittish and reluctant to spend.

The requests for half hour booking seem to be on the rise again or maybe it's just me?

It also doesn't help that the market is being flooded by 'cheap' often easternblock ladies, (ducks in anticipation of being called racist) Just my opinion based on chatting to clients.

Most of mine are half hours now.

Actually I agree with Cassie (also ducks head). It's not even about race, it just seems that most of the Escorts new on Adultwork in my area are charging really low prices, which I think drives the guys expectation of what they are willing to pay down  >:( They aren't fake profiles as they get proper feedback.Of course ladies can charge whatever they like, their choice but I wish they would realise that if they set their prices to average then they could make more money - instead they seem to think that undercutting everyone else is the only way to get bookings. Ok, sorry rant over  :)

Been relatively busy today though - even with a MAJOR football event in my neck of the woods

So fingers crossed

I am in utter and desperate panic right now....

I came to a town in which I had about a dozen responses. Normally...this would indicate me having no issue getting work. But no, about 20 replies have been cancels and no-shows. I thought I had one this morning, but he flaked. Last night, flaked. Earlier that day, flaked. The day before. And the day before. And the day before. ALL NO-SHOWS  :'(  >:(

Last night, I was so hungry....because I had no money, that I had to go to a resturaunt nearby and ask if they could please give me something to eat because I'm from out of town and have nothing. 

I just get so frustrated to end up in these situations, but Im doing what I thought was right at the moment...and I advertised for 3 weeks prior to coming out here. This exact same thing happened last year in Chicago, but this time its even worse because I dont even have a dime to eat  :(  The 5th level of hell is right here in America...

Hi American pie, that sounds bad -  I just wondered if you just tour around all the time, or if you have established yourself in a particular city or area as well and established some regular clients?

well, all the markets that I was based at just wasn't doing it for me. I did however have a regular in a couple of cities, but I always end up moving away because of reasons related to escorting, and personal decisions. I mean, I didn't see it as something to really be left staying for.

The number of cancels I've been getting has been unbelievable. Its all due because Im in some hick, country dirt poor state that I was mislead lied to by 3 different escorts to believe it was worth going to. Not to mention the numerous emails I recieved prior to getting here. I get here, and everyone except 1 guy has cancelled or no showed on me. Its left me without anything...no food, wasted hotel costs, am just feeling completely destitute right about now. I had spoke with 2 guys yesterday saying they just wanted a massage, but were nervous/had a bad experience. I explained to them and sent my reviews to them that I was not out to get them. Both still flaked. These people call themselves God worshipping people, but in actuality they are a bunch of pussy-ass closeted, broke, insecure White trash from the catacombs of hell that disguise themselves as a human being! The stuff they are doing is malicious behavior, I wouldn't wish this type of vindicitveness on my worst enemey...well, they are my worst enemy!

A break is on the way, as I called to cancel an insurance that I purchased, and they think Im going to wait the normal 3-5 days for it to process....as if I am not literally starving with no one to turn to right now!

It's definately a tough time, does not help that the media constantly report all the doom and gloom and make people very reluctant to spend any money! Regular clients have been my saving grace over the last few months! For me things have been picking up though and hopefully leading up to Christmas it is going to be busy for everyone  :)

I think the best thing is to migrate. From one country to the other ;) Everytime you are new so you will attract a lot of clients because they are aware of new girls. If you like living in hotels and adventure then it's something to think about... I want to do it also cause sitting on my ass does not make much.

Post by: Tsescortvikki on 01 November 2010, 06:35:27 pm
I've had a virtually dead three weeks, and went back to the phone chat lines just
to make sure some money is coming in.  Today almost left me aghast after I received
a flurry on calls from clients asking to see me today... so I stacked four of the little dears between In and Out calls
then one by one I had "Ive only got sixty pounds"..."..er...I'll move my appointments around" etc etc etc..
and I found myself in a layby in tears looking at the last of my money. Finally one lovely guy rang
me back and said as long I as I was quick and discreet could I do an outcall......so now I'm curled up with at
least some food in the cupboards and electricity.

If this country would rethink the laws on prostitution escorts could be able to support
each other more, work together in safety and clean environments, instead of the financial pressures
of hotels,  or the risks of outcalls.

I'm beginning to think we need to become as sly and inventive as the idiots who waste our time

Just passed your website addy on to a caller who rang me just now looking for a TS escort, hope you don't mind?

Think he is Middlesborough based, but hey  - he may travel  :)

Have you ever used Vivastreet Vikki? It seems to be very popular TS Escorts, which may make it more competitive, but if it didn't work I suppose they wouldn't waste their money..
  I know it doesn't suit many, but it works really well for me( if you learn how to navigate the rules and regulations  :-\ ) and to sift through the timewasters by sending a standard template to all enquirers with your website link..
 The genuine ones will start to save up and book you eventually!  ;D

Best of luck xx

I have more inquiries than I can take, as per usual, but since I'm part-time that's probably of no use to anyone.

Are you in a big city? Are there popular parlours near you doing daily special offers and taking on ex-pornstars who offer anal bareback? Is it really the worst week ever (compared to your records for last year etc)?

Strangely enough I am also doing unusually poorly at the moment, I have been nervously awaiting this Christmas rush that usually happens this time of year, but it isn't coming : (

But I think it is one of those things - hard as it is - that I'm just trying to ride out, as JodieT says it is all peaks and troughs, and when you are in a trough it is damn frustrating; such is the precariousness of being self-employed I suppose.

If i remember from last year i was in ireland cos it was quiet at home and every one was saying the same thing on this board how dead it was

in ireland at the moment its def quieter than usual but busier than what i would be at home though
you just have to put your head down and suck it and see literally     ;D  i never look at what i make each week /day rather at each month and it always works out to be the same roughly to a few hundred pounds either way
also save money for when its like this so that it not so much of panic stations when the money isnt coming in you still have some money stashed

the economic situation plus the fact that its xmas never help,  i tend to find the week before xmas it picks up and then straight after as well it picks up as men are at home bored fuckless and have good excuse to get out of the house with no problems

keep your chin up it will all work out ok in the end

November really was the worst month ever  50% down on any month in the 2.5yrs I have been escorting. 

Picked up a bit this week with a "normal for 2010" month - which is about 25% down on 2009 and 10% down on 2008.  But my friend has only had one job in 3 weeks.  we are in Kent near M25/Medway.

I do my stats too - lol

Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: strawberry on 10 December 2010, 04:32:46 pm
I realised stats weren't going to work for me initially because I had my own limiting factors on the amount of clients I would/could accept historically. I know the number of enquiries has lessened in general this year, but I'm still taking the same number of bookings, and better quality - put that down to new girl on the block syndrome having worn off!

Anyway only reason things were dead for the last week or two was the snow, pure and simple since I had my usual amount of advance bookings. As soon as the thaw approached everything went back to normal.

Lots of the advice here is really good to keep in mind in this business. I'm in North Wales , and the culture here is different to that in other areas, and as a transgendered escort the profile of client differs too. I've let myself
get wound up by troughs in bookings and keep forgetting that this isn't an inner city. I'm not super escort but I think its about making yourself as irresistible as possible, see yourself as the product top be sold...if you were the client would you book you, or is there something that makes them hesitate?  Offer a service that's different, get the sexiest pictures taken of you, learn lots of new techniques, think outside the box, so in the end the poor dears will be tripping over each other to see you and you'll be choosing who to see.

Yes, very slow :( I'm so bored....The worst thing is that in times like this I tend to think that no one will ever book me again and I will have to retire early from escorting  :-\ Past weeks were wonderful I have to admit. I've never worked here in this time of the year, so maybe it's natural and things will get back to normal, but now I'm just losing my confidence :-[ I had two TWs today... ::)

Im thinking this is the precise time of year to be in a city where there are only like 5 escorts working. So even if there is just 1 client willing to pay, they won't have much to choose from...

I know this isn't a new topic I'm at the end of my tether with frustration, I haven't had a
booking in 10 days and I'm beginning to wonder what the hell is going on. I hate being a "poor me"
but I really am struggling. I'm frantically brain storming how to get the phone ringing because
bills are piling up. Luckily I have an interview for a regular job on Wednesday, but I want to keep
working as an escort as I really do enjoy it.
Is anyone else finding it quiet or difficult at the moment, I'd really appreciate any feedback.
Thanks

I'm sorry to hear that :( You know the rule: "this too shall pass"... It WILL ring, it's just very hard to wait. Honestly I have no idea why some periods are busy and some slow but as I experienced, slow times just pass too... It's just a matter of time. Maybe you could refresh your advertising a bit - new photos, new text, etc., it works sometimes...Or a featured ad?
I know how frustrating it is, I've had a year of this in London.

Good luck on the interview, I hope you'll get the job! :D

I know it's not much comfort but I worked almost nothing in the new year, as I had an allergic reaction and now I have the flu and I can't work... :-\

Don't worry, everything will be allright :-*

See, this is why we can't ever really say when is busy and when isn't - I was so busy the first couple of weeks of the New Year I barely had time to breathe yet this week it's quiet, although I have a couple of long bookings and another next week which are more than enough to keep me going (and after the previous weeks I'm pretty relieved tbh - I've got other things to do!) Everybody's experiences are always different - I wish we could solemnly say 'Yes, October is good, but February is crap', but no two years are ever different. I do find that February is generally crap, mind. Vikki, I know we've said a number of times that touring isn't a quick fix answer to everything, but have you thought about heading off somewhere else for a couple of days? I've got London at the start of next month and I'm pretty much planning on it keeping me going for the rest of it (especially since I've just paid my tax bill  :( ). You can always organise it and then cancel if the bookings don't materialise.

It's funny you should mention that, but I've had a lot more trouble than usual this last week or so with people messing me about, especially on AW; I don't tend to get much work from there anyway, but there's been a definite upturn in people booking and cancelling or not confirming on the morning. Even the ones who do book don't seem to be leaving feedback, which does rile me when I leave it for them (I know it's petty but it's like getting blood out of a stone - I'm currently owed four just from the last couple of weeks). And the stupid phone calls and texts seem to be on the up too. I think I read something similar on another board too.
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: strawberry on 18 January 2011, 12:06:09 pm
I concur with Amy. You just can't predict how the business is going to flow, even from one year to the next apart from the February thing!

Yes there are a lot booking then changing or cancelling at the moment. What's even worse is that some are coming across as really keen - things like mentioning they've tried to book in the past but they've been disappointed because I've been having a day off or something, really pleased I'm able to see them then on the day nothing, no confirmation or anything. Others promising 100% they'll be there when they've been flaky in the past - and I don't accept that promise since things do happen in real life, no one can ever be 100%, then cancelling because something has come up.

Yesterday I had more requests for bookings than I could accept and ended up turning several away, and today nothing. I did advise those I couldn't see I'd have plenty of time today and tomorrow, but that wasn't convenient for them. The business I turned away yesterday would have filled out the remainder of the week nicely.

When they want to see you they will, you just have to be patient.

Thankyou girls for all your very sensible and wise advice, you have all made very good points. I think I
lost perspective and let getting emotional and stressed get to me. I think the idea about touring may be something
I may look into, being here in North wales the market does seem to be different and a change of location will
probably refresh things, I may even move from here permanently, we'll see. I think I will freshen up my website
with a new background and add some more user friendly information. I do need more pictures, yes absolutely, I've met a female photographer lately and I'm going to ask if she'll take some good photos of me. I'll refresh my adult work advert and add my site to some more directories. My interview seemed to go well today, so if I get that job I can back up my wages with escorting which will make me happier. And as Jodie says even when the moneys coming in I'll live sensibly and save up (and not hit the sales in a retail therapy stylee like yesterday).

Thankyou again for all your comments and help

I've had 2 bookings since Christmas! Everyone was paid early in December, and then with Christmas expenses and waiting an extra week for pay day, Jan has been awful. I've had a few bookings come through today with guys saying they've had a horrendous month and need cheering up...so here's hoping they don't cancel!
I'm sure things will pick up soon, though the recession is hitting eveyone, and us being quite a luxury item are often the first to go. I know a few of my regulars are going to swinging parties as they get 4 hours for ?70 and a choice of girls. :-(
I'm also looking for a 'normal' job, as I can't go on with the uncertainty:-(

I've been looking for a second job to make sure theres money in the quiet spots. Bookings
do seem to be picking up a bit, and I'm trying to focusing on giving each client the best service
so they leave happy and wanting more of me.
I think the news is worrying people, jobs going all over the place and general belt tightening
going on.
Like Jodie said, its important to earn money form these bookings and spend as carefully as possible.

I agree.  I had a complete twat walk out on me the other day because I was 'too slim.'  Me 'well, did you look at my photos before?'  Twat 'No'.    I had been around town shopping for some much needed things, got a call from my agy 'can you see this guy in 45 mins?'   So I rushed home, shower, makeup etc, tidied the flat, then the prick comes in and says that!  Completely buggered up my day.   

Whats worse is it was my first ever booking with this agency I've just joined, so it looked reaaally bad on me!   Just my luck.  I completely agree Friday, these losers forget this is our lives they mess about with.

As a masseuse my x-mas was booooooooming!!!  :D :D :D Begining of Jan it sort of slowed down but was still good. End of January was a horror show. First 10  days of February have been very slow and I've been seeing 6 clients a week when my expected cuota is between 7 minimum and 10 clients  maximum a week (I never like to see more than 10  because I get burned out). So i decided I'm not going to get upset and just "chill" this month and  have more time to do fun stuff, like going to movies or museums etc.. Business will pick up begining of next month.

Next day I had someone who booked but didn't confirm, yesterday a no-show.
I'm looking forward to this day :(
In times like this I just feel it will never end and I won't have a proper booking in the next hundred years...

This week I had nothing but timewasters. I think there must be something in the air ???
In times like this I just feel it will never end and I won't have a proper booking in the next hundred years...
That's how I feel.

I've got to admit that bookings havent slowed down this year as much as they have in previous years.  I'm still managing to see 5/6 on each day that I'm working  so I cant complain.  Hope it keeps up !

OMG - 5-6 a day!!!!!! Been so dead - the February thing - only had 3 jobs in 2 weeks.  Been doing the gardening -at least weather was mild.

I only work 4 days a week ladies ................ perhaps this is the reason. 

The rest of my week is family time and ME time. 

I very rarely work weekends.  My response to guys who ask for weekends is 'if you work Saturday would you want paid time and a half and if working Sunday you would want double time wouldnt you ............' soon shuts them up and they manage to find a time during the week to come along.

Back to the grind tomorrow !!! Whoooooooooooooops, just looked at the time ............ today !!

Absolutley maddening isnt it, and when your self esteem is ragged from cancellations
you get bookings so close you can taste them, then they vapourise as quickly as they appeared.

I'd laugh about it but actually it could have been serious at the time....got to a hotel after quite a long drive and the client pays for the room...we go through to the room and he says I haven't got any money...then though
apologetically tries to get me to "give him something anyway"....to which while calculating how much time
money I had wasted driving there...decided to negotiate my way out...to which he throws a tenner on the bed and
runs out the door.....sigh....so at least I covered some fuel...and the day improved with a domme session
and an outcall....so I got lucky otherwise I would have been cross but philosophical

I've been quite busy, in fact very busy indeed. Is it half-term for schools in your area?Ours are next week and predictably I don't have many bookings lined up, so I've decided to run a modified special offer. I don't know if it will work though because I've not given much notice!
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Lady_Lust_XXX on 18 February 2011, 09:44:05 am
I'm same as Strawberry ..... but it is half term in Scotland and it has taken in Valentines Day so in Scotland we should expect a quieter week.

In England half term is next week and like said ... this usually cuts down number of bookings.

I've decided to treat myself to a nice week in the sun so I'll be away on Sunday for a week in the sun ... cant wait.

Take care all. xx

I know the transphobia on punter* is appalling, but this level of exploitation feels worse.

I am trying to remember what I paid when ex-work experimented with advertising there. I do remember enjoying getting them to explain why we couldn't have any white in the ads each time :) and that, for us looking for sex workers interested in our services, it wasn't worth it.

All print advertising rates are up for negotiation in my experience. Have you tried saying 'right, I'm moving to one day a week unless...'? (Going for a different day each week should still reach a large proportion of the readership.)

Depending on your clients, I'd also look at the gay and fetish media. That level of money is going to get various ad people looking to please you.

Sadly for me, clients who visit transsexual escorts,
identify as straight and would not look at any gay male sites or publications.
I've only ever had one 'out' gay man {doing it out of curiosity},
a dozen bi-identifying men
and huge numbers of straight men.
I don't think advertising on gay sites or publications would bring me any return.
Have you any contact with other transsexual escorts whose experience suggests my assessment is wrong.
If so I would really be grateful to you for your recollection.

I may approach Loot re occasional ads
But the truth is that even if the ads were free I'd now be reserved in advertising there.
Loot really attracts the society dead wood:
Think huge volumes of time-wasters/no shows,
people wanting ?40 shags,
drugged up/wanting me to supply said drugs!!!  :o :o :o
drunks,
bareback riders
and the types who are frankly deranged and scare the hell out of me.
Fetish is an area I've not looked at advertising in
despite offering mild BDSM / fetish.
Yes I'll look at that, thanks.

I'm probably speaking a bit out of turn here, since I have obviously no personal experience with gay or trans sex work, but I have definitely heard gay male escorts speak of being contacted by plenty of clients who identify as straight/bi-curious. And I'm assuming those gay male escorts would advertise almost exclusively on the gay ad sites and any relevant publications - which I think does make a lot of sense, factoring in the pressures that still weigh on men to appear stereotypically masculine and heteronormative, which would likely just add to the 'subversive' appeal of looking at all the gay ads for all the men who identify publicly as straight but who perhaps feel differently inside.

This may still have nothing to do with clients who might look exclusively for transgender sex workers. But I think at least a free or cheap ad on a popular gay site could be worth an investigation, especially if it's one you haven't tried before that hopefully is friendly to trans sex workers (and sex work in general, of course, so no US-based hookup sites probably!). It's not as though many (any?!) of our clients are socialising in groups when they're browsing for porn and/or paid sex - and when people are alone, they're free to investigate whatever they like, wherever they like without worrying about their public sexuality, so hopefully that wouldn't be an issue stopping straight(ish) guys from checking out a gay site if they're feeling in the mood for something different? :)
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: River on 23 February 2011, 11:45:05 am
I appreciate that Emily, thank you.
That's a good point.
I wasn't aware that gay male escorts get lots of straight-identifying men.
If it's free or cheep ads then it's certainly worth me doing a few ad punts to test the waters, so to speak.
I'll look into that.

Have you ever considered being a transgender mistress/ dominatrix?
There are not many out there. You seem to have the right attitude for it (going by your online posts) and would pay more money than escorting.
Think about it ;)
I know a few publications you could advertise in.
If interested pm me.

Back to topic. It's been more dead than the local mortuary with escorting for me.
Not a booking in 2 weeks LOL. Am enjoying the free time.
Hair, nails, feet, pamper products. Although it ain't good on the wallet. But what can one do? Ride out the calm before the storm for now.

It's definetely dead!

Had 3 bookings Monday and 2 yesterday thankfully, although 2 of those had been booked in for a while.

Well thinking about it you are right about sexuality and self identification
and outward identity-expression sometimes being at variance to same.
And to quote Alice Pieszecki:
    Dana: [after seeing an exchange between Jenny and Marina] I thought Jenny was straight.
    Alice: Dana, most girls are straight until they're not. And then... sometimes they're gay 'til they're not.

I'm looking at a whole new demographic! yea!   ;D

Well I do offer and enjoy mild BDSM restraint, cbt, humiliation, body worship
along with a host of other things.
Whips cans crops paddles floggers
along with the kit stored underneath the double bed in the 'office'
is quite scary!
 
The reason I've never gone into the full mistress thing is self-perception.
I used to go to loads of clubs
from TG when it was at its first venue at Opera on the green in Shepards bush,
Whiplash. rubber nipple club, later evolved into club rub, Domina at Oasis, submission and subversion,
and so on.
A used to date a mistress as well.
All this is a problem.
A true Domme has a certain mindset.
and while I love domming for pay and for pleasure in clubs
I know full well that my mental make-up is not that of a full blown Domme.
I would worry that clients would compare me to other mistresses and realise this.
I would feel I was conning them by not truely being that which they desire.
Hence no ads in T&T!

In some cases, that mindset comes from having their head so far up their arse, they can see daylight.

Clients who want to see someone who acts like they have a divine right to treat other people like shit will see such people. But for some others, BDSM play is play.

If you're honest about what you can offer, you will find a market.

Thanks Ian; I'll mull over this a bit more deeply.

On the arse thing.
I was once introed to a Dom.
Now everyone was in the scene to varying degrees.
But this was lunchtime in a regular pub.
The Dom introduced himself as "Thunder"
My reply (straight face)
"Hi Thunder pleased to meet you.
My name is: ' Overcast with scattered showers turning to sleet later'... "

For some reason he refused to look me in the eye or talk with me either!   ;D

I found February was fine but I have to say March so far has been rather shaky to say the least.  Only had 2 bookings this week and both of them were far from ideal clients. I've also noticed I'm getting Lot's of annoying calls this week, a much higher proportion then normal and also more than an average amount of dodgy emails. I had one yesterday from a 14 year old boy (or at least someone pretending to be one :o) Disturbing to say the least.
Hopefully next week they oddballs will vanish back into their dark cellars and the decent clients will come out to play.

I've found it quiet but I changed a lot about how I work recently (I'm doing a quickies only service and I'm available during strict 'opening hours' two days a week) so at least part if it is down to that. Most of my enquiries are guys whining about how they want to see me but only if they can have an hour. Which is funny because when I did do long appointments almost all my bookings were quickies and half hours :P Camming is really busy though, I've done really well this week, so if any of you were considering getting into that now might be the time haha.

I've also been very quiet recently and most of the clients I have booked in for the next few weeks are either regulars or have been booked in with me for a while. I wonder if the internet is magically not working every time I'm not looking, and only comes back in to being when I turn on my mac. If only.

Normally if I'm quiet I spend the time I would shagging doing the admin, updating my blog, looking around on the forums, updating my site and aw, googling and looking at different directories, maybe take a couple of new photos and put them up etc.

I hadn't had a booking since the beginning of February, so I decided last week to join an agency for a while. I must say, I've never been so busy before. It's less money per client, but everyone is so lovely and I'm making more money than before. I really hope things pick up for everyone else, it's been a tough one so far this year.

I think the weather has a large bearing on work.  As we know it's been horrible weather since Christmas and for sure once the sun comes out and the temperature picks up, then the guys get phoning more. 

Also, the current economic climate doesn't help and we are still hearing sad stories of redundancies, job losses etc. 

Fortunately, if you have regulars, these can keep things ticking over.

It's also worth blogging, updating website/aw content, photos and perhaps even offer some temporary special offer to entice more work. 

Good luck. 

Love
Jen

One was...and I expected he would be! Got this text today.

"Bad news. I just got back into the country and had my money to last me the month stolen from my hand luggage:-( So I only have ?90 to last me but I am MORe than HAPPY to spend that on you:-) bit I doubt you would do 2 hours for that:-(

I replied that I didn't believe him as if that was all he had left to last him the month he wouldn't be spending it on a prossie but I said I'm willing to do an hour for that! He said an hour wasn't enough for all he wanted to do so could I be flexible. I said NO.
So he agreed to it, then text again asking me to come at 9.30am when he knows I don't take bookings till 3pm!
Told him to stop wasting my time!

Good news is I have a better booking come through now:-))

It's ticking along for me, but damn I'm horny. Work's kind of slow and more importantly most of it just isn't hitting the spot. At the moment I'm organising bookings with an ultra-sensitive Indian man who wants a GFE to take his pain away, and a young guy who I've had phone sex with and sounds fine, but isn't too good at reading comprehension or email communication. I'm considering telling a personal acquaintance that maybe it wouldn't be weird if he booked me. At least he'd probably be fun.

I had no work in weeks..6 now i think (i will allow the long weekend off i had might have wrote off 2 of those though but still!

Up till now the longest id gone was 10 days!

Oh of course those that do book always cancel! I had an overnight booking for tomorrow, I didnt even mention it too my husband as I knew he's cancel! (its the 2nd time)  >:(

What makes it worse is when you're on can and in freechat and the guys say "oh you're so hot you should charge more" funny its never the guys that book you that say that! lol

the real problem is now i probably answer the phone so tensly!  >:( >:( >:(

I have to agree that it's gone seriously dead at the moment!! I was off for 3 weeks ill and missed a steady amount of bookings...now I'm back needing to get my finances back in order and it's so quiet, quietest in a long time !  Hoping it's going to pick up towards the end of the month with payday and some regs will come out to play.... fingers crossed... sit tight everyone sure all those bookings are going to come at once like they usually do hey!!

I've been ill for ages so not been able to work, but I've only turned down 3 bookings in all that time. So I'd still be skint if I was well! I'm mature too and only do outcalls which never helps. But I know a lovely young slim girl who does incalls too and she's had nothing for 2 weeks.

Yes, I'm also finding it a bit quiet at the moment. I talked to a friend who has been working for years and he says it's just how it goes. Some weeks you make lots of money and then other times it can be dead. He mentioned that even after doing this for ages he can still freak out in the quiet times and think 'oh no, that's it...I'm never going to get work again.'

Your friend is quite right  :)

I look at my earnings month by month rather than weekly, that way a bad week doesn't send me into a panic. Last month for example I had a dire week with only a couple of short bookings, but overall the month was my third highest earning for the financial year, so I'd made up for it pretty well!

Another thing I do is to work out how much I absolutely need, ie what pays the rent, essential bills and food. That's a pretty low amount, even a very slow month should cover it, so if I do better than that minimum amount it's a bonus  ;D

Remember too that it is the school Easter break in most areas, a lot of gentlemen with kids will be away or just less able to sneak off. The good weather could also mean they are in the beer garden with their mates, or the missus has got him cutting the grass at home!

It'll pick up, it always does  ;D

Ive been really busy this weekend with 6 bookings.
Last month was horrendous though and I was in a terrible position and couldnt even afford food or pay my bills. I think I bad 2 bookings the whole month.

If things are really bad I send an email to everyone in my email list offering them ?30 off if they book within the next 5 days. It sometimes works and it sometimes doesnt.

I've had a busy week too, but then I was away last week and am again this coming week, and I do find that punters tend to more organised about making bookings if you're not around all the time.

I don't work weekends (unless somebody's really going to make it worth my while  ;D) and haven't had my phone on but apart from one really crappy week at the end of March I haven't noticed much of a difference. I don't tend to get many phone calls anyway as most of my bookings come by email, but that was one week where I rang my own phone to see if it worked  :D.

I was away the other week too, came back and started with a stinking cold so decided to extend my break. Since then it's been steady however I am noticing a definite pattern of new clients making bookings, then not confirming on the day. I know that's the whole point of having a confirmation time, however when you've put guys off it's annoying then those who say you can contact them have already decided to do something else. I do ask to let me know asap if they can't make it.

Tomorrow I'm having work done at my place, so will be having another day off but it needs doing and will enhance it's general appearance which is always a nice thing for clients.

Its difficult to judge from what one person and another says. 

Some people class 6 bookings in a weekend as busy, however  if I worked weekends I would be looking for approximately 10 over the two days to be happy.  We all have different levels of acceptance of busy and quiet.

I think we will find April is a slower month this year as schools are only IN for eight days in the whole month and if couples with families have to share responsibilities then guys who normally visit while they are working have to take days off work to look after children then they wont be able to 'nip away' to visit the local prossie.

Im a very mature escort and Ive found things fine up in Scotland.  Cant talk for anywhere else though. Swings and roundabouts story again.

Grief, 10 bookings in a weekend as an average.  That is a good week! I am available every day and up til 11pm at night. It has been so dead for the last 3 months it is not funny.  But then talking to my escort friends they think I am really busy compared to them. I think on average I do pretty well, don't do quickies and hardly any 30min bookings.

As a matter of interest Lady Lust, are these long bookings? Maybe we are missing a trick, lol, so to speak.

I have been kept busy because of the Grand National this weekend but as others have said, it is all subjective and a couple of bookings a day are more than enough for a daily travelling outcall- only Escort and I am happy enough with just one or two lengthier ones in a week..

I have a couple of 3 hour bookings up at the Lakes this week, which makes me relax - both financially and spiritually!  8)

I guess it is part luck and part Geography in many cases?

Hi Pandora

The bookings I take are from 30 mins to two hours.  I dont think anyone is missing a trick  ;) :D. I think it is all a matter of where you are located and the services you offer.

I only work around 4 days a week but on each day I work I expect to see 6 or so guys a day.  Sometimes it is only 4 or 5 but that is only on a bad day.

I am located in central scotland with great access to many different motorways - though at the moment these are a nightmare due to motorways being widened.  But along with that comes lots of workmen working away from home for long periods of time so guess who they come to visit. So what I may lose on one hand with guys knowing about roadworks and not wanting to get caught up in them, I get the workmen working on those roads. So really it is a win win situation and you wont find me complaining.  Got to admit though it is not as good as it was a few years ago when I could be seeing 10/11 per day.  No chance of that now.  :'(

I was really busy pretty much from Xmas up  until last week when it suddenly went completely dead. I expected to be pretty busy because of the Grand National, but  no. Very very strange as April is usually one of my busiest months.
I always go into a panic when it gets like this, but of course it always picks up again too.

I read somewhere a article in the, The Independent news paper that Poole's millionaires fail to save town from recession. Apparently it was badly affected by the credit crunch in 2009 people lost businesses and someone lost around 15-20 regular customers since Barclays made their cuts. Even my local charity shop has been suffering with no donations coming in. I dropped a lot of stuff I cleared out that I couldn't sell or want, they were pretty grateful !

Hey all I haven't posted in a while because I have had about a 4 month break from escorting!

I lost my nerve and just kept a couple of regular clients going because I couldn't bare seeing new clients so I deleted my profile with 10+ feedback.

Anyway, long story short, grom August - December 2010 I was pulling in between 600-1000 a week doing outcalls 3-4 nights a week. I've come back to AW as I was bored and wanted a little extra cash (and I must say I have enjoyed it so far) so I set up a new profile with 2 non revealing but nice pictures (better than what I had last time!), a better worded profile and slightly lower rates. I have 1 feedback.

But it just seems that this time around there are no clients! I think at most I have made about 800 in 3 weeks!!

It just seems that last year I was turning clients down but this time around I am struggling to get new clients which is worrying becuase I know my profile is better this time around.

Is this something that's common this time of year? I live in Lancashire x

For me more than 5 or 6  a week is busy, was double that last week

Most come from AW

Adultwork for me is absolutely dead (I work in Cardiff), apart from private gallery views. Even advertising the fact I now do incalls has done little to improve things- I don't think the fact I have no reviews there helps things. I get a few calls a day from selectanescort though and it went a bit mental Thursday and Friday, as well as vivastreet and my website so it's not been too bad. The annoying thing is the guys who ask what I look like- yes because you didn't look at the photos ONCE when choosing to ring me  ::). Oh, and the guys who ring me at 5am on a Sunday morning. I'd best stop there, this is turning into a "how not to book an escort" post, lol

Well done. I had my first one tonight for ages and I bottled it. Totally lost my confidence. And he's a regular too. Lovely old guy. He'd come a long way...obviously not just to see me, but I was an added factor in his journey,  and I feel just awful about it. So many things led to me bottling it though.

I've bottled a few jobs recently. My phone's doing well and I could have been really busy over the last few weeks. Instead of trying to work flat out I've been accepting only the nicest sounding of jobs, but most of even these I've found myself unable to go through with. It's not a loss of confidence, at least I don't think it is, and I really can't believe I've been so stupid as to mess up such lovely, well paying bookings. I seriously need to sort my head out as money's dwindling away. I'm amazed nobody's been slagging me on forums yet and I don't think my luck will hold out much longer.
I know what you mean about feeling crap Coty, I feel dreadful every time I let someone down. The loss of cash isn't what bothers me, it's the awful guilt of ruining somebody's day. Well today is the first day of the rest of my life and all that, and I'm going to pull myself together, stop disappointing and start earning.

Aww ((hugs)). It may be burnout? It doesn't always happen just because of seeing 100 guys in ten days or whatever, sometimes it can just be a buildup of all the stress from various areas of this job (like dealing with a billion timewasters and chancers and creeps and weirdos all day long before you've even gotten around to actually meeting with some clients!) and the answer is often to take a bit of a holiday. If you can't afford to be away long, just go for one Proper Day Off, maybe? If you plan it right, it can be mega-relaxing without being expensive (spend a bit of time outside, sunbathing or reading, or go swimming or have wine/food/DVDs with friends) and if you arrange an appointment or two for the following day in advance, you don't need to feel guilty about having a little time off to recharge beforehand! :)

Awww, hugs. I'm sorry you're feeling that way, but I'm glad I'm not the only one. Was beginning to think I was going insane. With me it is/was a combination of things. I was very sick for 4 weeks and I'm still feeling wiped out, but not leaving the flat for so long brought back my panic attacks...so finding it hard to get that first step outside the door. The other thing was this lovely guy had arranged to serenade me on a grand piano in the hotel foyer as I walked in. Lovely thought, but filled me with fear. And he was also asking for me to wear a skirt and high heels. I'm a very mature BBW...skirts don't look good on me and high heels I can't walk in. I don't mind skirts and high heels in the bedroom, but walking into a VERY posh hotel, and having someone serenading me on the piano, just filled me with dread and I bottled it. Bless him he went to so much trouble to arrange it too:-(

Had a strange sort of time since my last post on here, I said I thought last week was going to be slow and  by way of calls it was, yet by the end of the week (saturday for me) takings were  not bad, not brill but not bad but most strange is hardly any TW's

This week (starts Sunday) to yesterday I had just  4 calls but all  were good ones, today had 3 calls 2 for bookings tomorrow and 1  for a black tie do the end of the Month, so again few calls but no TW's (so far) and an ok week again so far

I already have two 2hour hotel bookings for next week and a 1  hour day booking, needless to say they could all not happen but...

I must admit I felt very tired today so just as well no bookings but the phone has been quiet which can-be/ is a worry

Only just spotted the replies to my post a bit further up the page. Thanks for the support guys. It took me a further two weeks to get my head together, but at least I recognised the need to take a break. I stopped booking in appointments, only to bottle it and let people down, until I was sure I was ready to handle them.
I'm being really strict on keeping the number of bookings I do to a minimum, and insisting on longer appointments instead. It's working great at the moment, some clients aren't interested but most seem to love the idea.
As Coty pointed out, when you're feeling burnt out it's reassuring to know you're not the only one feeling that way. I thought I was losing it for a while there, but reading posts in this thread and a couple more in this section I see other people suffer very similar symptoms. We could do with starting The Big Burnout Thread  :'( to comfort all those suffering at any one time!

Hey listen you need to do what is best for you!  Don't feel awful about letting someone down!  Without sounding too callous, these punters, whilst of course they may be regular and loyal to us, sometimes do go elsewhere! 

What I did notice was your concern about being slagged off on forums, presumably you mean the punter ones or one as is the case?  I have at times looked on the main one and get a bit vexed to be honest at the way they discuss us and talk about us like pieces of meat.  Am I the only one who feels like this?  Gosh, wouldn't it be great if we could talk about them openly like they do us!  Wonder how they would feel then!  OK, so whilst I understand that there are bad apples on both sides, I don't particularly like the way they discuss us like objects and it's a shame we are made to feel concerned if we are mentioned in a not so good light. 

Anyway, I think the main thing for you is to look after yourself.  Sometimes, if our head isn't in the right place and we are tired, fed up etc, then it can reflect in a booking anyway so maybe the best thing is to step back a bit, take a breather and then start taking the bookings again. 

However, it's also your prerogative to be choosy. Nothing wrong with that!  If your gut feeling doesn't feel good about a person on the other side of the phone, then it's your choice to take the booking or not.  Don't ever feel guilty about that. 

Take care of yourself and put yourself first, always.

To be brutally honest Im thinking about deleting my website and calling it a day, its now been 3 months and two weeks and Ive had three bookings in that time. Ive no idea what to do, when I get bookings I love the process and feeling of making a client satisfied and the empowering feeling of earning my own money using my own determination. I wont go on about all the various conflicting arguments that I have going on in my head, suffice to say, I just want the business to come in so I can earn some money and have a at least a week without worrying about what the post brings.

It's so damn slow I forget I'm an escort!   :-\

It's so odd but this is how the adult industry works, phones, cam escorting, it's like a rollercoaster. though I hate to admit it this is the longest low ever.

I'm running out of ideas on how to push myself. I cant offer incalls but I think I'm going to have to find some space to use somehow. Not that Ive not tried before, I don't really want to be out the house (unless actually on a booking)  :-\

Got a few days off for some other business, which n itself adds stress so once its gone maybe i can be more focused

Oh!!! THAT'S what I do.... Been wondereing why I had 2 phones  ;)  Seriously though, it is really quiet :(

I only advertise on a/w and normally I'm pretty busy but even that's deathly quiet.

I've only been working for 12 months but the same as you Friday, it's been the longest it's been this quiet for me too. Even started attempting to build my own site today!

Looking over the last 3 Months or more I have done really well with last week being about the best week of all


This week, apart from a booking for tomorrow , it's been dead, it's like someone has turned the lights and my phone off, Tuesday is normally a good day yet nothing, don't think I'll ever workout  the how and whys of it all
*shakes head*

It's strange suddenly not working after working  7 days a week then nothing to do.

I am based in Birmingham, and intend to work in London very soon. I would like to know if any of you have found these couple past weeks very slow and quiet?

I have reduced my Incall fee, but I can't reduce it any lower otherwise it wont be worth my while as I do In calls at hotels, and they become pricey. I also have a friend who works for a southern/midlands escort agency and she has a booking nearly almost every day, she makes ?1k a week. But the agency doesn't like Independents and if I was to join that agency I would have to give up my website etc and pay ?650 for shoot in London, as you have to use the same photographer they use, but you can't use the photos you paid for anywhere else.

So that is 1 option I have thought about,( plus you can't always guarantee they will give you work everyday if you give up being Independent) 2nd option to try London doing outcalls instead of in calls..

Any tips or advice you could give ? thanks x

I was in London last week and rushed off my feet - I worked from 7.30am to 8.30pm last Thursday with a couple of hours break in the afternoon, and then 9am until nearly midnight on the Friday, although the last bit of that was dinner stuff (and I was so puddled by then I actually went out with my dress on back to front  :D).

I turned so many bookings down I ended up having to put Fully Booked on my AW profile just to save time on answering email enquiries. I came back with a rotten cold from being stuck in the room with the aircon on all the time and not eating properly for four days, and it's pretty the same every time I visit, BUT then I've been to other places (Glasgow, Birmingham) where other ladies always seem to do well and got virtually nothing.

I don't think there's any way of anticipating what it's going to be like; I'm back in London in six weeks as usual and have bookings already, but they could all cancel at the last minute and I'll have to start all over again. There are always punters no matter where you go, but comparing notes with other people who might not work in the same way as you do (I don't take short notice appointments for example, so Glasgow was hopeless) is just going to drive you nuts. I would honestly say the best thing to do is to try it a couple of times for yourself and see how you get on. There are lots of tips in the Touring section and plenty of ways to try and keep your costs down.

Yup Amy - I am in Glasgow and it's all same-day generally short notice bookings. If I get a request for more than 24 hours in advance , or even for the next day I take it with a huge pinch of salt! But if you go on AW or classifieds and advertise as "Working Today Please Call" it is really quite busy.


Haha, I'm sure that's true but it's most certainly not the way I do things - I don't take phone bookings from AW for starters. I'd been warned and knew I'd probably have to take some same dayers but after hanging around the hotel all morning fielding calls from people who hadn't read my website and were expecting to turn up in the next fifteen minutes and get a cheap half hour (and I don't even offer expensive half hours  ;D) I gave up, switched my phone off and went and had tea and scones and a look at the art gallery. I was only there for a day, and my booking was actually one of my London regulars who was coincidentally staying near Central station and couldn't believe his luck.

Fortunately I was back in Edinburgh the next day and soon made up for it. And I did get to eat Pizza Crunch  :D.

I've recently started only doing long bookings (min 2 hrs) . This was because I needed to greatly reduced the number of clients I see for various reasons. I never thought I'd get much interest or intended it be to a long term plan but to my surprise loads of guys love it. I'm much happier and have no intention of changing things any time soon, or ever if the work keeps coming in. Someone suggested it works because men want what's hard to get (and it can be difficult to get an appointment at times). A couple have been so determined to come that they've paid for 2 hours and only stayed for 30 minutes! I am finding guys seem to be enjoying themselves more and are now far more likely to rebook, although that could be because I'm happier in myself, and am probably better company now than when I was tired and stressed all the time. :D

This month has been the worst ever.  I am down 60% on the same time last month and 20% down on a normal month.

I have done more advertising but to no avail.  It has been sooooo hot I have not wanted to work even if it was there.  Assume the punters feel the same.

Give the amount of threads from newbies setting up I thought I would re-vamp this one.

I dare say the HUGE number of newbies has made a difference, but I can truly say that I look back to this time last year now thinking, oooh I wish I had that many clients.

The recession seems to be talked about less but we feel it more and more.  I am lucky that as an established lady I have regular clients, however, instead of being weekly they are now monthly. The ramping of the advertising does not seem to make much of a difference.  There are just 3 times as many fish in a 50% smaller pond.  Happy days - come back 2009!

I find my biggest problem is a influx of newbies in the area (who nothing against them dont speak English but hide that from clients with broken English on profiles and only listing there 2nd spoke language) but look pretty and under-cut everyone else's rates and show there faces without saving that for a PG and even sometimes offer BB and every service going.  I try to keep my profile fresh and work with alot of new people to offer something new and different and offer more content in doing that also.

Even camming's quiet. Not made much at all this week, and ZERO in the last 2 days. None of my regulars came in my cam room, and have had TWs and twats all evening. I've given up now, going to bed early.

Tonight on cam I've had:

"can I watch u shit if I pay"

"I will book you if you do bareback"

"can u come to me in an hour" (he was in Notts, me in London!)

"I have to empty my spunk in a pussy"

I think it is slow and quiet, it usually is around this time of the year. Everyone goes on holiday when it's the summer to spend time with their familys and it's probably the only time they can take off to go abroad. Plus school holidays.

Lol Ana, 'horror show' just about sums up my last two weeks as well - It's sad to say that I can't wait for August to be over, for the kids to be back at school and everyone to have had their holidays etc so that all the men can come out to play again and book us. I always imagine kids being at home all the time means that wifey/girlfriend notices their fellas movements more and therefore they stay away for the summer.  It got me thinking I need to improve in some way with advertising etc, but this month it really dosen't seem to have made any difference,  no matter how much I've got pro active,  roll on September!

Sound like I picked a great time to start - typical me lol.  The parlour said it had been quiet so some girls are on holiday etc.  Saturday night was busy though due to a group booking ( is this usual? Think was a stag thing or club outing).  Plus so far given the average age I think apart from Saturday  most of the clients I have seen would have kids well past school age!  Does anyone ever go abroad to work during the holidays?

I wouldn't knock it - it'll give you chance to get used to things and you'll be better prepared for when it does get busy. I'm guessing it's mainly to do with school holidays, and as far as I know they're finished in a couple of weeks time  :).

If you're thinking of working abroad I would have a look in the Touring section, but since you've just started and haven't done indie work yet I would give it a miss for now, to be honest. You could always try a few places in the UK first - I've been away three times now during the current holidays and was so busy last time I had to take a week off when I got back because I was knackered.

Gone quiet again. Even camming's pretty dead. I can sit there for an hour waiting for a visitor. Then it's difficult to get guys to go private (or even group!), and when they do it's good going if they spend more than ?3 or so credits.

I'm guessing this is the effects of everyone coming back from hols and kids going back to school, and suddenly that August payday doesn't seem to stretch far...

Anyone else finding it slow/quiet?

Would anyone mind checking it out and letting me know? Profile name is Miss Gia...

I know my pics aren't professional... But I think they are reasonable?! My prices are also reasonable...

For what it is worth i have just looked .................you have a multitude of ways for a client to contact you that they all need credits for ......................................( some dont buy them )......xcept email
I only put my number on if i am working or a bit quiet but i find no one uses the booking system  at all with * me * they may email me for the phone number if it is not dispayed.
If i display my number i get a lot more bookings off aw than not displaying as most look at the profile and then jot numbers down to ring you later ( so they say when i have asked them ).
if you put a contact number up and not go through aw you will get a lot more work ( if you dont mind answering phone calls as i dont )....................that is assuming that you dont normally .
Anyway good luck xx
plus i get most of my work elsewhere.

 adultwork is a very small part of my business if i relied on it full time i would be broke  -

  i think personally that a lot of girls use it cos its free, and everyone seems to rate it so much  ( i dont personally)
  but if you are actually a guy and your  using the internet to find a girl for example in glasgow scotland   its dosnt even come up on the first 3 pages of google for scotland

example glasgow escort on google the first three are punterlink , glasgowescorts.co.uk and escortscotland  

other site that are on there first and second page of google  are blondeescorts/scotland and viva st    

even entering escorts in glasgow adultwork dosnt show  but all the above do plus ukadult zone girl directory  and punting zone northern angels and alba ladies

most of these sites do free links as long as you link back

Thats the bit though, it ISNT FREE. Taking into account we pay ?1 per day to display our phone numbers then it is costing us ?30 a month.  Some girls wouldnt consider this price but dont realise they are paying this as it is taken off a day at a time.

Hi Paris.......yeh I know I need to do more advertisting (I'm on Punternet, or is it Punterlink anyway one of them) but don't know if I'm staying in Scotland so don't wanna advertise too heavily.  Did use Viva till the prices went up too!)

But I saw your v helpful list before and if I do stay in Scotland I shall know where to go to for advertising, thanks!

sorry i always think of it as free cos s i always have my  number showing and its paid for from my gallery credits so  i dont think about it

but regardless 30 a month is more  ok for the business that i get from it but if it was my sole form of income then it wouldnt still be  worth it ( just about) especially as i do same day bookings mainly 
 
I do agree though with what your saying in that a lot of girls wont consider 30 a month  to advertise  on other much  better escort directories ( imo)  but will happily pay out for adultwork as it initially appears to be free

Totally agree with you Paris.  I'm the same re the credits.  I just find it very gauling the way AW try to make out that their service is free.  They must b e making a mint each and every day with one service charge or another and still they are trying to make more out of us.

Actually things have picked up for me in the last couple of days... But I'm new and only take outcalls (as I dont have a place for incalls yet) so I dont really know what 'busy' is?

Three bookings yesterday, two today... Nothing for the weekend though which is concerning... Rent is nearly due and I'm off to California to meet my man in a couple of weeks... Pressure pressure pressure!

If anyone wants me for weekend duets let me know!

For me things are rather steady. I have a good base of regular's which I can often fall back on.
       The only time that wavers is mid to late summer when practically everyone is going on holiday.  But generally when things slow down I still do one or two clients a day and manage to sometimes get as much as ?600.

I think that things are better when you have a good base of regulars.

Newbies always get an influx of clients. Give her six months, she'll be needing to look at advertising elsewhere for the same number of bookings.

2 bookings a day!  I've only been indie for 4 months and can count on 2 hands how many bookings I've had from AW in that time.  Where am I going wrong I wonder?

I doubt you are Dexi - firstly we are assuming that the girl Lou19 spoke to isn't talking out of her arse, plus 'two bookings a day' if it's 15 minute quickies or half hours doesn't amount to an awful lot anyway. Bear in mind this represents her entire business if she doesn't advertise anywhere else and even if it's true it won't last long.

Lots of established ladies get virtually bog all off Adultwork, including me; provided the bookings are coming in, where they're coming from doesn't really matter that much. And what other people are doing or not doing matters even less than that :).
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?

 i would say i probably say on average i get 1-2 from adultwork a day when i working in bristol and the rest come from my website and the other sites that i advertise on 
how can i tell where it comes from  -  Well i use a different number on my adultwork profile,  but also i ask   client where they got my details from  if they dont know /cant remember i will ask them if they know about adultwork 
 ( because i give them the pin to my private gallery)

That was me, overloaded with bookings, couldnt do em all. Now, overnight something has happened, loads of timewasters and haven't had a booking in ages. It's a good job that I don't rely on this money for anything major otherwise I really would be in the deep-end. I'm actually wondering if i've had a really bad review on a site because the change has been so drastic!

sdont forget that next week is the school holidays for pretty much everthing below scotland and dont forget the clocks go back aw well
so expect lots of idiot school kids  texting  and ringing as they are home from school   

i still reckon its the free texts that comes with most phones thats why everyone texts   

quote author=Ana30 link=topic=6902.msg55902#msg55902 date=1319148709]
this has been "the week of text messages" for me. All in the line of:

-"Hi, are you available tonight"
me: - "yes, I am. Have we met?"
- "No we haven't"
Me: "Ok, then you would need to call me as I don't do text appointments. xoxo. Ana"

End off. Never heard back.

Is the fact that I'm available a turn off?  Do they really expect me to go to some strangers house without actually having a real conversation? Are there any women out there doing text message appointments making it difficult for the rest of us who expect -hold your breath here-:  a real conversation?

I want to blame it on futbol. Every day of this week there's been some important game. That for me is like the kiss of death for business.

My problem is I don't hear very well and I need to ALWAYS just text and I get guys REALLY frustrated because I won't (can't) answer calls.  Plus I've now really got to know well how to judge guys texts whether genuine or not.  Only problem is some guys can't text (they don't know how to)

Another advantage is that most phones store texts so its a good way of looking back at previous TW etc.
I do have to say though that for me it IS a problem and I guess I lose about 20-30 bookings a week because of this and I have no option  ???

20-30 bookings a week lost? Where the hell are you situated?, most would be lucky to that many enquiries a month, let alone bookings.  I shall pack my bags now for a tour!

Post by: Lady_Lust_XXX on 23 October 2011, 03:25:47 pm
The way I see it is - NOT every call = a booking - I know many of us know this but some of the newer girls may not.  I dont know what the ratio to calls that turns into a booking is but I'm sure this differs from girl to girl.  Some females are better at selling themselves, this is a fact.

Not every booking = a booking, in  the fact that we just can't tell if the caller will turn into a client.  He may just be a TW.  Many girls will back me up when I say even 'regulars' let us down at times.

There is also the guy who does turn up then changes his mind once he sees us.  This is something everyone has to accept for no matter how pretty a girl is, how good a figure she has ............. we can't possibly float EVERYONES boat.  The guy may be honest and say 'do you mind if i leave it'  ???  ??? what choice do we have .... do we take him into the bedroom and take advantage of his body FOC.  No we gotta let them go.

There is also the guy who says 'oh i left my wallet in my car/van' ..... this is the cowards way out (well 99% of the time) or 'oh i forgot to go to the cash machine' or 'how much did you say it was' 'oh ive only got xxx'.  These are all pathetic twats who just dont have the balls to be honest.

I also know that business for everyone is a lot slower in Scotland than say just a year ago, so to say 20-30 bookings is lost in a week because of a hearing problem is being unrealistic.  Maybe one or two may be lost in a week or a month but never 20-30.  Even working 7 days a week 24 hours a day this would be a loss of 4-5 a day.  Most working girls would be pleased TO DO 4-5 bookings in a day - maybe in a week but thinking your losing 20-30 in a week, like I said before is not being realistic.

Don't get me wrong.  Some girls do do more than others but most of them are in the parlours - not independent working girls. 
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: ParisB on 23 October 2011, 04:25:51 pm
 i would say that if im talking about same day bookings  then if  took between 5 - 15  phone calls at home in bristol then this would turn into 2  - 4 booking probably   but i do get a  fair amount of advance bookings normally regular clients who know im only around for a few days or so 
so some time i can do 2 -3 advance booking and then a few same day bookings as well   

Touring can depend on where i am  as well  ireland you get a lot of timewaster  so you could take 30 -100  phone calls a day but get 5  -12  bookings  so although you are getting more phone calls your not in reality that much busier ( i mean you are but not in terms of the phones calls you are getting ) 

Other places the phone can be  slower but the callers are genuine so it dosnt matter you  might take 15 phone calls and get  7 -  10 bookings its a number thing  and untill a guy has arrived turnt up and paid you never know if they are genuine or not  even if its a regular client i assume that  untill they are there and have paid its not a done deal that im going to be earning that money     
Glasgow i found my phone was busy but it was a load of timewaster 
So it dosnt matter how busy your phone is if they aint coming in and paying you then its not really relevant
I prefer my phone to be slower so that i can in fact weed out the timewasters and idiots that can often slip through the net when the phone is mega busy

Paying a visit to Pompey this w/end.......wasn't gonna work, then a bkg came up and I felt........why not, and also that I kinda should anyway (almost like you never know when ur gonna get bookings so shouldn't turn one down)

Ach  :-\  I think this was picked up wrongly!  :o
 I'll never REALLY know how many I do ACTUALLY lose as I obviously can't take the calls.  So there is the element of TW or people who aren't comfortable making a booking by text only (I could be a guy) but in that case then phone calls wise it is more than that, I was just going by a hunch.  Some weeks its considerably less than that but I would say thats about average.  When I posted a new advert in the Sunday Sport, I got 83 phone calls in one day. Over 50 wouldn't respond by text. 

Its a difficult situation.
I'm doing better now than I have been,  2 years ago (my WORST spell) I got one 15 minute booking in 10 days.  I resorted to sending emails and texts to myself to see if they were still working!! :P :P

Pop "advertise" into the search form (http://www.saafe.info/main/index.php?action=search) or check out the main SAAFE site (http://www.saafe.info/)'s article on the topic. You'll find stupendous lists of places to advertise, plus other escorts' experiences with the different directories etc.

I think that AW is getting known for it's numerous dubious profiles, and I would guess this may be making guys quite wary - if not wasting everyone's time. In other words guys are spending time contacting fakes, or girls who aren't available and take longer to weed out the genuine girls. Add to this suspicion of new profiles and I'd say new girls might find it slow.

An awful lot of guys also do not know about AW and use other tools to find WGs, and some know about it but simply do not like to use it.

In my opinion it's worth spreading your advertising around.

I've had 2 bookings from AW in as many months  - both horrible clients too, you could tell they were seasoned punters pushing and pushing for what they could get out of me  >:(   

Having said that I live in London and I'm finding it pretty dead generally, if anyone knows of a decent place to advertise please PM me :)

I haven't found London too bad actually, and I only ever advertise on AW, but I'm quite happy with 1 booking a day  ???

I think it all depends on how long you have been on AW.  If its still your first year you will be in honeymoon period and should be basically kept going.

After a year or two things start to slow down on there.  There are virtually hundreds of diff sites we can advertise on and also ones where we can pay.

Does anyone else feel they shouldn't be turning down clients? Tonight I was so shattered (having been kept awake half thenight for 2 nights in a row at my hotel) that I've turned down 3 bookings. I did see.2 clients earlier in the day but part of me thinks I should've seen them despite being exhausted because well it could go dead next week for all I know! Anyone else have difficultly.with this

 When I posted a new advert in the Sunday Sport, I got 83 phone calls in one day. Over 50 wouldn't respond by text. 


Periodically - about every two weeks for me - I change my ad in the Sport.  The number of calls you get in one day from an ad is normally about 50 (I'm a lot older and expect a lot less) but out of the 50 callers the average number of clients you get out of that is normally about a 10:1 ratio.  ie one in ten that calls becomes a client.  Calls doesn't = clients.  Bookings doesn't = clients. 

It's been said a million times before, until they are thru the door and you have the money in your hand (they haven't lied and said they left the money in the car or similar) then they are not a client.  A million calls doesnt mean a million clients.  We have to be realistic.  No sense in thinking we are losing out if we miss a call.  There are so many TW and NS now that it is not real.  Five years ago I had to have someone to answer my phone for me because of the volume of calls received.  I simply couldnt work and answer calls at the same time.  Nowadays even having a receptionist/telephonist is taking a chance.  Oh for the days it was 5 years ago before the abundance of girls flooded the industry.  But the girls who have been in the business for 10 years are probably saying that about me too.  :-\

One thing is for sure, its not what it used to be and it never will be again. Well IMO anyway.

Take care all and I hope everyone has a great week ahead.  ;D

I think your site has a problem.
I've tried accessing it from Firefox & internet explorer.
All that happens is a loading bar appears in the middle of a blacked out screen,
then nothing.

I have this problem, too, using Chrome on a Mac. :-\

Edit: A few clicks reveal that it's a Wix site - they're built on Flash, right? That's not good - they're unreliable and often don't work on certain devices or in certain situations where Flash is turned off - plus they're unreliable because free/online site builders don't make sites well. There are, fortunately, loads of better options for better-looking and well-made websites though, although getting something sorted *right now* (for your tour) might be a little trickier. I'm positive it can be done, though! (Or just use an AW profile in the short-term!)

Thanks ladies but I know about my site :)

I'm not using it at the moment so put a blank master page in front of it.  I'm touring using AW and a few other things I normally use up in Scotland, none really matter that much on having a site. I find most work from my site comes when I'm in London. Merci again though.

I had a better day today but I think the problem is I am used to a high volume of calls and clients when working so seeing only 2 or 3 a day feels odd to me. I am not in the red this tour now so won't complain. Hope you are all doing grand wherever you are!

What is your USP? If I'm not being too nosey. I don't have one apart from being a mouthy git lol.

See for me 1-4 would be a fairly slow day. I normally see on average 5-8 per day when touring but much less when home in London.

Maybe try and complain to your hotel about the noise hun- they may be able to moove you rooms :)

Its squirting as   you will see from some of my previous posts!  It can really take it out of me.  I would be interesteed to see how many more I could see in a day tho.

I did ask the hotel about the noise, apparantly just every now and then it makes a lot of noise and theres nothing they can do about it, so hopefully tonight it won't

Not sure about it being quiet at the moment.  It's more like dead for me.  I haven't had any work for nearly 2 weeks now and the phone has hardly rung, even when it has it's just for enquiries and no definite bookings.  I've updated my website, put up some new private pics on my aw profile and chatting on forums to get myself noticed ( sadly because of the lack of work, I can't afford to advertise).  Starting to panic somewhat, as I can't carry on like this.  I've been indie for 6 months now, and have no regulars and I'm lucky if I see 2 clients a week.  I love the job I do, and just can't bear the thought of having to go and find a normal job as I don't work well with others.  I know it's difficult with the current economical climate, but there must be a way to drum up business, without it costing the earth. ???

I'm booked up for the next fortnight, more or less; London is a bit bonkers at the moment and my advanced booking special seems to be making my clients happy (just jinxed myself though, I expect!). This may sound like mad advice but because advertising is so important no matter where you are, might it be worth borrowing a very small amount of money for the short-term? Something like ?100? I spent ?90 for 3 months advertising on London-Independents.com and found it very worthwhile. You could spend it on whichever sites work best for you (Adultwork, Punternet, etc). And the remaining ?10+ could go towards a YourEscortSite.com site if you are really honestly in need - I'm sure we could work something out. :)

On the other hand, my grasp of global economics is murky at best but it would seem particularly true at the moment that risky borrowing is not always a very good idea, so disregard this post if it sounds like a silly idea. I just can't see how a business could improve without any advertising... hmm. Perhaps applying to a parlour or agency would be something to consider?

adultwork is a very small part of my business if i relied on it full time i would be broke  -

  i think personally that a lot of girls use it cos its free, and everyone seems to rate it so much  ( i dont personally)
  but if you are actually a guy and your  using the internet to find a girl for example in glasgow scotland   its dosnt even come up on the first 3 pages of google for scotland

example glasgow escort on google the first three are punterlink , glasgowescorts.co.uk and escortscotland  

other site that are on there first and second page of google  are blondeescorts/scotland and viva st    

even entering escorts in glasgow adultwork dosnt show  but all the above do plus ukadult zone girl directory  and punting zone northern angels and alba ladies

most of these sites do free links as long as you link back

Absolutely - if Google dropped me I'd be in real trouble - most of my clients here don't use directories at all and many have never heard of Adultwork. Most of my website hits come from there, followed by Punternet and Punterlink (each generating about half the number I get from Google each month).

If Adultwork dumped me, I think the only thing I'd notice would be the distinct lack of pondlife callers, although since I re-found my dedicated Adultwork phone this very afternoon :D that will hopefully go back to being a far rarer occurrence as I don't have to have my normal number on it. The only time I ever get anything from AW is from touring ads, and even then it isn't the majority.

The only time I ever get anything from AW is from touring ads, and even then it isn't the majority.

AW was my complete bread and butter in Scotland - I was listed on a couple of other directories (never generated anything) and had the Sport for my pondlife-but-I-can't-face-beans-on-toast-for-a-week calls. Actually in all honesty I had some lovely clients from the Sport, but after a while I just wanted to play a recording of myself and DREADED a Sport day. If they interrupted me mid autopilot response I would genuinely lose thread of what I was saying. I know some girls up north who wouldn't have been able to live off AW alone so I think I was mostly just lucky and found my niche on that site. Saying that though, AW was drying up for me as I was in the process of moving away - maybe if I'd been available more I'd have noticed it, but for the most part I was too busy with other things.

Coming down to Kent on the other hand has been a total eye-opener. I was lucky in the sense that a few regulars were based here anyway and in their words are "excited you're just down the road now", but I have been utterly convinced that I have somehow sprouted 3 heads besides them. Its like the market is totally different for me here and/or my AW honeymoon (which sounded pretty damn extended by other comments on here!) is finally over. Having a website is a completely new entity to me! Think I'm probably going to invest in another phone for my own website so at least then I can gauge where I'm getting business from and see where I should be investing my most advertising.

I get some decent clients from AW.  I find the "pond-life" ones mainly come from the local papers, mostly because they are too dim to use the internet! The more you advertise the more selective you can be. Punterlink is a good for a better class of client I've found.

I disagree with this, some people simply do not want to - nor need to use the internet. Just because we take it for granted, see it as essential doesn't mean others do.

Met a couple of lovely clients who do not use the internet, and probably never will. I won't however let anyone use it as an excuse to go over and over details though. Will give the basics, advise about my website then it's up to them.

Definite swings and roundabouts with the Sport (never used any other paper advertising - I feel like a complete virgin saying all of this ::) but in all honesty, after this move I'm starting to feel it lol!) - I had some of the loveliest, sweetest clients ever from it and some real regulars. Conversely, its been where I've thrown out the most clients for bad behaviour and dealt with the biggest twats.

I kind of get why it would appeal to a guy to use the paper - its like what, 40p or something (spot the person who pretty much is internet-dependent in day to day life) and so long as he disposes of it in a public bin, leaving it on the bus/train/whatever, there's no chance of 'er indoors finding it. If you don't understand technology with regards to clearing browser history etc, its too risky to some men. I mean think how some women react when they find porn belonging to their male partners - imagine her reaction if she found out he was looking at escort sites? This morning I was in my local post office, which is in a newsagent, and in the queue I found myself glancing at the magazines. There was top shelf porn and I found myself thinking "people still pay for pornography in that way?" But its easier to discard after its served its purpose, can't be traced at all and incurs far less chance of being caught. I wouldn't be surprised if some guys do use their real email addresses/phone numbers registering on some sites - to err is human after all and just because I'd have a fake email address for things I'd rather people didn't find out about/can't be bothered being spammed about, doesn't mean everyone's the same. Intelligent people do say and do really daft things (or daft from other peoples' perspectives) from time to time.

I used to get a bit snarky with guys asking "what girl is on", but in their defence, a lot of parlours do advertise there too. Often if I got them coming along they'd be genuinely surprised that I wasn't charging extras for kissing, RO etc and quite a few of them commented it was nicer, that it felt more 'natural'. Now I reflect on that thought, I wonder if maybe they heard my half hour rate and thought it was too expensive because they factored in the possibility of being hit with extras? I've had alcohol so I'm in a charitable mood ;D

Then again you'd get the idiots barking down the line not quite understanding I'm not the receptionist and there is a person attached to the orifice...

Generally though my main irritation with the paper was the fact I'd be repeating myself all bloody day and, due to the nature of having to describe myself over the line, I couldn't exactly go to a lecture or nip down to Tesco whilst describing my all-natural 38E cups followed by my prices. So if I advertised in the Sport, I would have to sit indoors all day answering calls - so if I got timewasters/no shows/twats, I'd be a LOT more likely to notice the disruption to my schedule and thus a lot more likely to be irritated/stressed by it.

Most of my business comes via papers so I know what you mean.
I'm always describing myself while in tesco's.
What I do is walk fast so anyone only hears a word or two of the conversation.  No problem.
If there are too many people, I do big pauses.
Hi. Yes I'm available.
Ok I've got long hair, pert.............breasts, .............sexy ....................body
I like most things like ..................O...................either way. Play..................massage..............looking at naughty.........................films

trouble is if you dont /cant /wont spend out money on advertising its becomes  a slippery slope of not earning enough  if people  cant find you  they cant book you so you cant earn money  so round and round it goes getting quieter and quieter 
adultwork isnt free you have to pay for just about anything ie puting your number up featuring  local escorts ect so  realy over a month your shelling out 30 -50 quid when that would get you  imo a featured add on punternet or punterlink  ( ok punterlink is 60 ) but far more targeted audicence in my opinion
   
    i use the sport and viva st when touring ireland /scotland  but  i tend to do slighlty cheaper /quicker appointments from it and i dont let them book  i  so while on my website 30 mins is 90 from the papers its 80 and 15 mins is 65  )   its a pain in the ass but you do get some good clients from it,
 i have different mobile for my website viva st the sport and adultwork so that i can see where its all coming from and ensur that it working and paying for itself
 
but what i do  is that the  clients from the papers  cant book a specific time  they take a chance see if im free and turn up within 10-15  mins i tell them this is the way i work  and that if they want to book me and set asside a specific time then its slightly more expensive  but i will be free for them  + i throw in a few more extras to entice them to book
  i give them all the details they need ie description / prices services ect and then leave it up to them  i tell then to text if i dont anwser when they call

its time consuming but if im doing a week long tour then the extra advertising will  more than pay for itself and the cost of accomodation and be in profit by a several hundred leaving the more lucrative website business as  pure profit on a tour

adultwork isnt free you have to pay for just about anything ie puting your number up featuring  local escorts ect so  realy over a month your shelling out 30 -50 quid when that would get you  imo a featured add on punternet or punterlink  ( ok punterlink is 60 ) but far more targeted audicence in my opinion

I can only speak for myself but I know I've never really considered that as 'paying' because I've never shelled out cash for it - just used credits I earned for the odd phone calls I'd take when the balance looked low. Its always interesting to have another take on it, especially when you've probably became a bit lazy in the sense of your advertising. I know I used to be quite hesitant over the idea of paying upwards of ?40 for monthly advertising ("what if it generates nothing?" being my usual way of talking myself out of getting a site etc) but when you think of your credits as cold hard cash then you do look at it very differently. Thank you :)

i use the sport and viva st when touring ireland /scotland  but  i tend to do slighlty cheaper /quicker appointments from it and i dont let them book  i  so while on my website 30 mins is 90 from the papers its 80 and 15 mins is 65  )   its a pain in the ass but you do get some good clients from it,
 i have different mobile for my website viva st the sport and adultwork so that i can see where its all coming from and ensur that it working and paying for itself

I'm going to be going back to Glasgow for Christmas and planned to at least earn my expenses, so I think I'll try and implement some of this when I'm there. At least I'll be on 'home' turf if it doesn't work!

but what i do  is that the  clients from the papers  cant book a specific time  they take a chance see if im free and turn up within 10-15  mins i tell them this is the way i work  and that if they want to book me and set asside a specific time then its slightly more expensive  but i will be free for them  + i throw in a few more extras to entice them to book
  i give them all the details they need ie description / prices services ect and then leave it up to them  i tell then to text if i dont anwser when they call

its time consuming but if im doing a week long tour then the extra advertising will  more than pay for itself and the cost of accomodation and be in profit by a several hundred leaving the more lucrative website business as  pure profit on a tour 

Thank you! Complete food for thought in terms of my previous touring mechanisms. I've always been happy with my tour earnings (some more than others) but I really, really appreciate seeing how other women operate - it never hurts to learn and to experiment with new ways of working!

I'm in central London and I've been incredibly busy for the last 2 months. I have noticed things have slown down a tad at the end of this month (specially weekends). I'm guessing people are doing their christmas shopping or spending quality time with their kids etc...

For me October, November, December and first part of January my phone won't stop ringing. Those are the months were I make my real money and manage to save  good. By the end of Jan it gets very silent. February dies (literally), so instead of spending a miserable month living from my savings I take it off and go on holidays.  March picks up. August dies again till mid- September. But Feb. is definately the worse month.

For me it's always been like this.  ??? I do put a lot of work on my advertising, taking photos, upgrading website, etc... There's a lot of competition in London and I don't tour so I have to be an "agressive marketer" if I want to make money.

Don't know how recently it has been mentioned but dont forget that there are PT girls signing up on AW and similar to make that extra money for christmas so less work for the normal FT girls.   These PT girls will appear as newbies and attract the usual guys who may normally visit other FT girls.  Just food for thought.  We cant sit on our laurels and expect work to come to us ............ we gotta get off our asses and find new outlets for advertising to bring in the money we are losing to these PT femmes.

Could be quieter for quite some time now. 

Guys can't always come up with reasons for 'escaping' in order to visit.  Some are pulled in for 'parental duties' which they dont always do and others just dont have the money after spending it all on their pressies.  :(

We just got to take what we can, when we can at this time.

I agree - even if punters want to visit and have the money people's plans change (or more often get changed for them) at a drop of the hat over the next week or two; visitors turn up unexpectedly, last minute panic shopping because they forgot the parsnips, family stuff can all scupper the best laid plans. I've got a few regulars booked in this week, but I had a very busy tour last week so even if everybody cancels it's not the end of the world.

I would recommend either hanging about ready for the super-short notice folk who suddenly get a window of punting opportunity or get on with your week, don't sweat it and just be happy for whatever bobbles along with a daft grin at a time that suits you (no prizes for guessing which I'll be doing).

Hmm..Usually X-mas is the busiest time of the year for me but for some strange reason this is proving to be a very quiet X-mas. Taxi drivers and restaurant owners are telling me the same thing so ..hey! I'm not alone. And yes, a lot of " Can you see me in half an hour?". grrr

Yes, last week was extremely busy for me too, at some points would have been nice to have a split personality and let 'the other half' do some of the work.

Although I've had a few bookings today it is a lot quieter than normally at this time of year and I'm with Amy - after Thursday I wont be hanging about waiting for anyone.

It's my first Christmas escorting, and for me it's been the same as usual. Quiet.  Since I went indie in June, I've avaraged 1 booking a week.  It's difficult trying to establish a regular client base with the recession, Christmas and still being relatively new to the industry.  Hopefully I'll be more successful in 2012, as I really enjoy what I do.

At the beginning of the week all looked quiet, however I've had a lot of short notice bookings and requests in the evenings - either for that night or the following day.

I've been to the bank a happy bunny, wished the staff a Merry Christmas, and currently contemplating breaking up for Christmas a day early. ;D

Only thing buggering it all up has been my website continuing to not respond, so hoping the new one will be up and running properly before the New Year.

By boxing day they'll be wanting to escape I hope. Today I got 4 calls; nothing remotely promising. Then a withheld just went on to leave a voicemail repeating the word 'penis'.

I can't remember the previous Christmas' to be honest but I'm finding this one to be so bloody quiet. I have had next to no calls then all of a sudden I have had alot of calls with 'definate' bookings and all have not bothered to turn up nor let me know they are cancelling.
 When should it start to get busy again? Christmas Eve, Day, Boxing day, New Year etc etc.

Well today has been a day of.........masses of TWs, and also guys all wanting appointments at the same time, the favourite times today were around 3/4pm and 7pm.  I've had back ups in case of cancellations!

This week has been busy, lots of guys giving themselves Christmas presents.

Saw one of my least favourite type of guys today - obviously wealthy, he was name dropping the whole time and I felt he was looking down his nose at me too.  Also one of the few who didn't care for my USP to the point I was having to stop myself (which is bloody hard for me).  He even said........'you are too wet' to which I replied, 'well its better than being the other way!'
He just kept saying it was 'interesting' code for 'this isn't for me' I think.
Still they can't all be lovely....

Shouldn't really be whinging, at least I'm getting some clients, just that type of guy makes me feel really grubby!

Well not as busy as last week (yet) but going steady.

Today I've had two dream half hour clients.  The first one got very overexcited at my talent bless him, and was out within 15/20 minutes.

The second was an absolute dreamboat.  A lovely polite, good looking young guy, he can be in my christmas stocking anytime!

And he was out within 20 minutes as well! Must be to make up for some of the odd  clients I've had lately.

It's been really slow for me, especially over the Christmas period.  Hope things pick up.

My last booking was 29th and I've had nothing since - only enquiries
I have one definite booking in a few days' time but that's it.
Guess it's the Xmas-New Year period to blame, and the crazy UK weather we're having, and everyone depressed at going back to work.

Nevertheless, I can't help feeling like I have a huge 'F*** OFF' sign on my profile lol.

Still getting the TW's though, they operate no matter what time of year it is. ::)

Had 4 booking enquiries in a row this afternoon, which sounds like nothing but is a lot more than I've had lately... I hope things are picking up... although I'm still so lacking in confidence after the Tantric Sod that I've said I'm not available right now.  I shall be kicking myself for this.

I've been really busy the last few days!!!  Far busier than I've been for a long time, my husband is even staying with a friend so I can take advantage of this sudden rush.  I'm well pleased :D

Don't I know it! :P Ended up seeing two clients, of course after the first booking I had lots of missed calls, typical! At least tomorrow should be good, got two bookings already, and hoping for one or two more!

This week so far I've noticed a definate slow down - both in number of clients and length of bookings i.e more half hour bookings

January might be slower cause people spend so much money for christmas. So next month will pick up again.

In my experience of the past 5 years, February is usually quieter than January. People havent had their CC bills in yet so usually cut down even more once they have arrived.

I think many of the other girls have experienced the same. 

I think guys cutting down is just a sign of the times  :-\ :(

This will be my first proper January & February working (this time last year I had just started and initially was very much part-time) so I guess I will see how it pans out.

This will be my fourth february - I am planning on going away as every year so far it has been the worst month of the year - BY FAR. Credit card bill reality hits.

January is usually not too bad and has been good this year due to the absence of snow and ice.  Fingers crossed it stays that way.

I started this thread back in 2008 when I was a newbie - oh seems ages ago - so I thought I would scroll through and see how life has been.

It seems that the worst period EVER, (in the life of this thread) was last Jan/Feb 2011.  But we did have the snow. Even the mighty Paris was ringing herself in Feb checking that her phone was working.  I see that she is off on holiday at the mo and Feb as I guess the 4 years of this thread has shown the trend. I can't wait to jet off - I am sure I won't be missing much whilst I am away.

Gird your loins ladies and I hope I am wrong.

Yep February is a good time to book a holiday for as most of the more experienced escorts will tell you.

Personally, I visit my daughter overseas at the beginning of February for my grandsons birthday and then treat myself to a 'sun' holiday at the end of the month for my birthday.  Thankfully January has been ok again for me this year.

It's been fairly quiet this week, I usually see two or three people a day, and this week it has been down to one. I have also noticed a lot of hagglers, even a client who's tipped generously before tried to haggle on an overnight this week, which I agreed to, then cancelled as it was just to little notice, and I had a lot on the next day, regretting that now!

It's Deadsville for me too.
I'm thinking perhaps the weather is putting a dampener on everyone.
All I've had is one regular; otherwise, just TW's, incl. the usual 'do u do shared content pics for profiles, and can we have sex on cam together too as we'll make loads of money'. 
Think I'm going to stop waiting for punters and spend the rest of the day working out instead.
STarting to go a bit brain dead to be honest. Not even CityVille can save me - been on there so much I've practically gone cross-eyed.  :P

I've had so much free time to play it,

{Bolt-actioned sniper  rifle}

Not sure I need another addiction but your MW3 with sniper rifle sounds perfect ... I can see myself doing some real damage with that (err online of course) ...much better for pent up frustration, boredom, and dealing with tiresome twots :)

Yay, good for you :) 
I find Sod's law operates a hell of a lot in this business. Either feast or famine.
Yeserday I had (case in point) two guys wanting to book for 5pm - except one of them had booked it when it was already gone quarter past 5... Err yeah OK. I can't do time travel just yet.

It's crazy at the moment, I can't fathom any kind of trend at all! I don't work every day and only see 1 maybe 2 guys a day when I do work preferring to do other stuff like going to the gym or going on cam LOL! Last week I had 1 cancellation and a 1.5hr booking which I thought would be a TW! He wasn't and for a 1st longish meeting it was fab! This week I started with 4 confirmed bookings, 1 had to cancel today but will be back and I could have had 3 on Friday but can only do 2! Grr!

I only started the camming properly this week and that's just as crazy, Monday was a great day, averaging ?100 per hour! Yesterday was dire and only ?25 per hour but today has been mental again!! ?150 per hour!!! I actually really love my job right now!  8)

I've been fine, but women's problems stopped me middle of the week - very unusual for me! Had to cancel all bookings yesterday, there were a few grumbles as I had several clients asking me for bookings, not understanding (a) I was originally already booked and, (b) that I'd cancelled everything and was officially out of action.

Found out I possibly have a refund coming from somewhere so it's not all bad, and a day or two off hasn't hurt.

I'm still quiet. :(
At the recommendation of other girls in Manchester I have reduced my rates to fall in line (they have done this to help me out, and have been very helpful in other ways to).  I have popped up a special offer for Jan and Feb, and still no one is biting.
I know working in Manchester is hard as there are so many parlours that indies are trying to compete. But for me I feel I'm worth a little more. The guys in Manchester are spoilt for choice and I don't get a look in. 
I have managed to scrape together some money to do a tour (this has taken me quite a while to save), so I'm really hoping that it works out as I still cannot afford to pay for advertising yet.  I've been indie for 8 months now and it's a real hard struggle, but I'm stubborn and refuse to give up (unless of course the work completely dried up and there were no other options left for me working as an indie). I'm just hoping it will pay off soon.

A friend and I were talking earlier. 

A couple of years ago if we saw only 3 guys in one day/each day of the week then we were having a bad day.  Nowadays three bookings a day is good, but that is just because so many girls have come into the business.  In Scotland the number of escorts have gone up by 300% minimum, so what chance have we got.  Its not the easy job it was when I started in the business five years ago. :(

A couple of years ago if we saw only 3 guys in one day/each day of the week then we were having a bad day.  Nowadays three bookings a day is good, but that is just because so many girls have come into the business.  In Scotland the number of escorts have gone up by 300% minimum, so what chance have we got.  Its not the easy job it was when I started in the business five years ago. :(

Recession is biting hard. I think this year is worse than last already :( Last January I was still a parlour girl and I remember there suddenly being a huge amount of new girls starting in the industry. I don't think many stuck around as they had the impression they'd be raking it in right away. Unfortunately they started at the wrong time. But even still a fair few grinned and bared it. It'll pick up again soon though. Fingers crossed x

Yep feeling it here too.

On the plus side though, my winter plumage is looking magnificent! I shall be sorry to see it go when then next booking comes in! I love not having to preen and pluck and wax daily when it's quiet!

The down side is I don't have a TV so I do get bored in the evenings.

They say February is the worst month for business all round. People have paid off their Christmas credit card bills at the end of January and also self employed people have their tax to pay at the end of January. Plus the weather doesn't help.

Only two clients this week although I missed Monday and much of Tuesday I didn't think it would make much of a difference, was hoping today might bring a few in but sadly no.

Both were nice and was quite happy to see them but hardly a week's money between a one hour and 30 minute booking...

More than a few let downs and last minute cancellations, one character turned up an hour later than agreed then accused me of being rude to ask for the cash so quickly sent him packing!

Last week felt really quiet but turned out okay earnings wise at the end of it, little more than an hour each day actually working but enough for it to seem worthwhile.

So many people wanting to see what they can get out of a conversation as a free sex fix this week though! Its hard not to sound off-putting and unaccomodating saying check the website when they seem to expect graphic sex chat, and a lot of these I don't know when I'll finish work types so will call later (!?) - what you don't even know your own working hours? 'I've just been to the bank and don't have any money', 30 minutes before the booking...Perfect.

Really quiet for me too - been in a new-picture-posting frenzy hoping it would make a difference but it hasn't.  Really sucks, been deadsville for over a week.
Glad I came on here as I thought maybe I had some disease everyone knew about, I'm feeling a bit relieved to know i'm not the only one struggling.

I'm wondering if having too many pics up on a profile only encourages the timewasters?
I've been tempted to put some more up but maybe it just ends up as masturbation material for the fantasists?! My gallery is pretty big as it is, perhaps too large but I thought a range of images would be useful. 
I often get callers complimenting me on my pics but seems as if they just enjoy hearing the voice behind what they've seen on my profile...

You do definitely have a point there - I can see the pics might enourage guys to take matters into 'their own hands' so to speak, and when it's all over, not bothering with a real life meet. So you do have a point.

However, I don't think my problem is pic overload as I have 8 in my free gallery and 13 in my private gallery, which is not a huge number.

Luckily, in the last couple of days things have suddenly picked up & thankfully I have some good solid bookings set up for this week ... Peaks and troughs, this business.  Keeps us out of mischief I guess! ;D

It just gets better.   :FF I'm supposed to be doing incalls this Thurs and had 3 potential bookings, and one by one today they have all cancelled.  So I've decided to cancel the hotel and not bother.  I was taking pills this week to prevent coming on so I could do them, but might as well just get my period out of the way and just try and concentrate on getting work in for next week. Pah!

Urgh, that's rubbish Dexi. I had a day last week where one guy turned up, half an hour late, said his wife was coming home and left at once. Got another half hour booking that day, guy turns up, half an hour late again, asks how much it is. Says it is too expensive, leaves, having given me a pair of gloves, "so at least I got something out of it". Grrr...

It sounds like your day was worse.  At least I didn't lose out on paying for a hotel as they had all let me know in good time, but to turn up on the day and say the wife's coming home and you're too expensive is just taking the p***.  As you say, at least you got some gloves out of it.  Thank heavens for small mercies eh!

To the ladies finding it quiet (and what each individual means by quiet is different, don't forget!) remember that it's half term week in a lot of places, and the February half term is notorious for being the worst week of the year.

I've just got back from eleven days touring and aren't planning on bothering much this week (and I don't work much at home anyway), but I think it's safe to say that having high expectations for the next few days is pretty much a waste of time.

Yes I think valentines day throws a spanner in the works so to speak.  I had bookings on valentines day with a lovelly regular client and a few last minute bookings also but yesterday was the first day when no bookings at all since May last year - and today has been ok but not as busy as normal.  I think next year a holiday in Feb is called for!

Get the kids back to school and bit of sunshine and they will all be out looking for some fun x

ive done pretty good this week since getting back from holiday last week  -  phone is quite but no tws and lots of regs booking  -  but ive been away from bristol  for  almost 2 months so its mainly regs and a few newbies  -   valentines day was quiet just a few regs in the daytime but yesterday and today have been good
You have to all remember its half term this week and its feb and febs always a slow sloggish month as a rule   to be fair as amy said whats busy to one would be dead to other and whats dead for some would be busy

Just moaning that I've had my first experience of complete deadness the last week or so. My phone has hardly rang! Usually I'll have at least 2 bookings a day no problem, and a lot of phonecalls and bookings, but all last week I must have seen about 4 people :/ Booking for today had to cancel, and argh! Just so annoying! I got a phone call last night at 9.30pm, by which time i'd mentally finished and was eating dinner so couldn't take it! Now I'm having to just make my self ready for anytime, just incase! The phone just isn't ringing! I hope this ends soon :(

It was similar last year at this time of year valentines day followed by half term followed by the end of the month all this on top of them all getting their credit cards  from Christmas and utility bills in middle of Feb.  Hopefully it will pick up beginning of March.  I have also been quieter then usual but still plodding on steady but slow.  I always think to myself although I am quieter it is better than sitting in an office all week for minimum pay and I am lucky enough to do the day job from home.  Nexy year in Feb I am definately goiong away for the month as it is the slowest month of the year for me.

Roll on March and get them kiddies back to school!

I was pretty busy on February (which took me by surprise to be honest cause it's always the slowest month for me) and I'm noticing  March  slower. Has March become the new February?I was talking with a regular today -who owns a restaurant- and he  was experiencing the same thing.

The economy has become a bit weird and unpredictable nowadays.

ive not had 1 call since weds, and had 2 half hr jobs, but didnt have anything at all sat-tues! its starting to really get me down and wonder where i am going wrong?

im originally from kent and thinking more and more about moving back, altho i dunno what it would be like for work and im sure theres just as many girls there if not more!

Hi Cherry

I don't think its anything you are doing that is causing you to not have a lot of bookings.  A friend of mine only did one booking all last week.  Times are dire and with joe soap and everyone else jumping on the band wagon it is only making it harder for everyone including themselves.

Due to my age I have cut down my hours and have been touring so I can't really say what 'normal' is now but I dont think its any different from the north of scotland to the south of england.  Many established escorts are now considering looking for 'normal' jobs and that is sad.  :(

Bottom line though is up to you but I wouldnt go uprooting myself with all the costs before I found out that the work was definitely going to be better where I was planning on moving to, and question is, how can we really find out  :-\

March does seem to have quietened down for me as well so far, I'm working today though on a day off to make up for it! Bit of a pain as I'm having to rely on my babysitter but the first guy this afternoon was really sweet and even gave me extra to say thank you for going out on a limb! The next one is a dinner date in town (5mins away) which is my first but that'll certainly help up my takings! Doesn't sound like a TW either which is always a bonus!  ;D

A fellow escort friend says she thinks AW is dead on its feet.Have been on there a couple of years and I averaged 5-6 phone calls a day and could of worked everyday in the past.Now its gone from that to rather quiet,to really very very quiet.I am still hoping we are just rather slowly being dragged out of the jan/feb lull,another couple of weeks,and def by April and after Easter,if its still quiet then, I will start worrying.

I used tobe on NA and considering going back,are there any other NA members here?if so,is it any busier?

I'm on Northern Angels and I don't actually find this is necessarily true. The site does appear to attract a couple of dodgy clients, and my first couple of bookings from there were not from what you'd class as 'wealthy' clients at all both were of little or no income, and both badgered me continuously for discount and bb. Status doesn't necessarily bother me, as long as a person is respectful and we get along.  I have had some better quality bookings since then although none admitted to being 'members',  they say found me on NA via google since the directory has a high ranking.

Yep it does appear quick cliquey. To be honest no one has mentioned NA when booking me for about 3 months now, so don't know if I'm getting any bookings from there or not! Meantime guys are mentioning AW, Pnet, Plink etc....I'll still carry on with NA but I am a little disillusioned with it.

I've tried VS on and off, probably get 1 or 2 bookings for the 1 month period I usually advertise in. Used to be free but now it's ?29.99 and you are very restricted with the wording and pics - basically nothing sexy, has to have your head in it and you cannot mention services or prices. I get a lot of 'masuesse' enquiries which is either because the guys are looking for massage with HR, or because they believe 'Escort' is non-sexual (which we all know 99% are not). I'd be interested if anyone knows how I can word my ad on there to indicate I do more than hold hands and chit chat, whilst adhering to their strict wording rules!

What I did was look at a lot of ads in the same area as me and then worded my ad accordingly.  It is difficult to word it so that they cant reject it, but so that you can get accross what you do, but not impossible.

I don't get a vast amount of bookings from there and what I do find is that most guys booking via Viva are pretty clueless (due at least in part to the way you have to word the ads), and quite often I get asked for a massage service.  I don't mind as I do also offer that.

You don't have to show your face - my picture is full length but cut off so most of my face doesnt show, and they allowed that.

Punterlink.co.uk or Punterlink.com should take you to a site which is definitely free to access, and has a free directory/classifieds section with the option to upgrade to a paid listing.

I am having the quietest few weeks since I began Escorting almost 3 years ago.

I still get calls, but they are of low quality ( too young/ sounding ill/ can't supply a hotel room phone number etc ) and after 9pm when I simply can't be bothered to put me suzzies on and drive an hour to the nearest city to see if they are any better than they sound..

This is a pity because the last Client I had ( 10 days ago ) turned out to be a really horrible man and so the longer I go without seeing someone nice again, the harder it becomes. I am already at that stage of it feeling really weird again..( to do what we do! ;) )

Well, after posting last night, my very best regular called to request a visit and, for the first time in weeks when he called, it wasn't on a day I was freelancing with my other job.

 Very happy to visit him and be reminded why I still do this  :)

Now all I need is my other lovely regulars to come out of hibernation and feel a gentle stirring.

In my experience - and many others on AW - if this is your main place for advertising - the first two years will be fruitful but after that things seem to sort of wean away slowly.  Work DOES come in but usually after the two years it is a lot less as guys start to move on to the 'new' and 'newer' femmes.  :(  You really got to keep on the ball and re-inventing yourself as in services etc in order to keep the guys interested.

Then at weekend just 2 in the morning on Saturday and Sunday. So I am finished by 2pm

since the sun has come out, iv had 4 guys a day minimum! hallelujah. big difference from last month. also some new areas of advertising (the newspapers - really good so far!) not as many tw's as i would have thought.

In the day of modern technology we revert to the old fashoined way of advertising!  This business is just so unpredicatable!  Glad it is working for you though ;D

I?ve had a really quiet week up until yesterday.
I?m one of these girls who just advertises on AW (I know shame on me!). To be fair though, up until this week  AW has been really good to me. My average is about  10 ? 15 bookings a week give or take. So you can imagine my shock from going from this figure to just ONE, yes that?s ONE booking between Monday and Thursday.

So in a bid to diversify and get more calls in, I went mad and spent many days researching and getting myself listed with loads of directories and decided to take a step back from AW.

Well guess what? Aside from 2 bookings from a new site, in two days I?ve had 5 bookings from guess where?....yep AW! Lol -  I also have 3 booked in for next week from AW.

Sods law isn?t it?...

Is it just me or is AW absolutely dead out? I've had about 3 calls in 10 days. Work is so dry I've just spent my last ?20 on petrol. To make myself feel even better (HA!) I thought it would be a good idea to go through my diary and add up my earnings in the last 6 months. :O
I think I need a bottle of wine or two.. Xx

It is very quiet at the moment and the school holidays don't help.

I don't advertise on AW as did once for a very short time but didn't like the type of man that walked through my door.

I think if i added up what i made last week i'd need a bottle of wine or two too  :)

It has gone Soo quiet for me since xmas. The only work I am getting is from returning clients from the last 3 years, but as each one only books once every few months, I can hardly rely on them to pay my bills..

 I turned down  a very well paying client on Saturday because he has a Jeckell and Hyde personality and goes from being very
 sweet and complimentary to downright bloody offensive! >:( ( He also has a horrific kissing and sex technique but that's another tale  ;D ) Part of me thinks, I'm a big girl now, I should be able to shrug off an unpleasant man by counting all his money, but the other part of me thinks NO MONEY is worth an evening of my life ( simpering over a brute of a man) I will never get back  :-\
 Nobody new is booking at all ( just a pack of hagglers clogging up my phone all day and severely peeing me off! )

I did a little test with my latest ad - I knocked 7 years off my age - simply on the theory that a whole new bunch of guys will spot me for the first time ( ones that limit their search to mid 30's max age )

Result? dozens of 'schoolboys' 16/17 years old sending me a barrage of texts along the lines of:

'Wots ur rate luv. Am 16 but ope u dont want id 2check this? ;)'  :FF

I only do outcalls so my minimum rate is quite expensive, but I would rather give this up completely than sell myself for less.. :-\

Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: divine_madonna on 03 April 2012, 05:36:32 pm
Well things are definitely picking up me, my blitz on directories seems to paying off, down side is I'm stuck at home because I can't work (time of the month) so it's a fat lot of use really  :(
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: secretcallgirl91 on 04 April 2012, 04:38:25 pm
Is it normally quiet over the school holidays?
My agency said as my picture went on the website over the weekend and that I'm a new girl, I should be really busy and easily get 8-10 clients a week.
Ok, so I did see two clients yesterday, had a booking today but the client messed me about so the agency cancelled it..

But I'm thinking with the school holidays is it normally quieter? Also I've heard alot to do with the credit crunch lately..so are people just not spending?
Im due on my period on the 13th so I want to make as much money as possible as I wont be able to work for a week.

So yeah,, I know its hard to predict and you never know when your going to get calls..just wondering is it expected to be quieter? :) xxx
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: EllaD on 04 April 2012, 04:46:39 pm
Yeah it's been much quieter for me too, didn't actually think it was because of the Easter Break -but that makes sense. I suppose all the Dad's are busy playing happy families...don't worry, I'm sure they'll be back!xx
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: lailah terri on 04 April 2012, 05:18:52 pm
yes, ive been doing this for less than a year now and have already noticed that its quiet during the school breaks. it makes sense tho, most guys are away with their families/taking advantage of the days off.
 
I dont know if things have changes in terms of agencies and new girls, from reading and what others have said to me i did expect to be rushed off my feet as soon as my images went live... it didnt happen. one of my agents was realistic with me and said that it can take a little while to get busy as most clients have their favorite girls already. I found that after my first review i started getting more regular bookings.

but hey, i guess it depends on agency, location, advertising, your images and all that good stuff. There are sooo many WG's out there!

Just my 2 pennies

Ah ok - Im hoping its because of the Easter break. I personally dont like the pictures that are on the website - I dont have my face on the site but the pictures do not bring out the best of my figure. I feel like I look like the white chubby ugly duckling of the site :( I wouldnt be suprised if Im not getting bookings because the unflattering pictures or maybe I'm being harsh on myself? x

you can never judge how busy the hols will be, for one wg it'll be dead, for another non stop! so far iv been the latter so im taking a day off! reason for this is old school newspaper ads, soo worth it.

I had a busy week last week, but it's been pretty pitiful starting two days ago; so far this Easter weekend it's been like a freakin morgue around here.
All I've had is enquiries which were either dumb/sad/incomprehensible, or obvious Timewasters.

The only ACTUAL booking request this w-end was from a superduper regular - and guess what, he's only gone and asked to see me the ONE afternoon/evening that I am fully booked with 'real life' stuff that I cannot rearrange.  Sod's law.
Easter hols suck.  :)

I complained on the saafe forums about not getting work recently and a punter emailed me saying "I saw your messages on SAAFE and I think it's because your rates are too high, so I'll just give you *** pounds, that's a little more reasonable isn't it? Also do you do CIM?"


Agh!! Another client who I thought would be a good long-termer also recently took me to dinner and then suggested that, "since we get on so well" we could start having free sex and dating (he is married, 30 years older) and he got all offended when I politely said "ermmm....I don't think so". Maybe everyone spent up big over easter and is trying to save a dime.

Don't be so prudish!
If I was you, I'd nod and agree with him and say that you too want to move things forward

Honestly, what are these guys on? Whatever it is, I wouldn't mind some myself.

Why do guys struggle to tell the difference between a dating site and an Escort.  If they want a girlfriend they should use a dating site.  Or is it they know they won't be guaranteed sex on a dating site and lttle fella down below needs his kicks!  So they suggest to an Escort that we should provide our discretion assured service free, next thing they tell you they don't want you seeing anyone else either or working.  Severe disallusion is what the case looks like here fortunatlley I do not get these questions, as I make it very clear I do not want a boyfriend, meet for a drink or meet his family, I am happy doing what I am doing on my own thank you xxx

Next time I am in tesco I am going to ask for my shopping for free!

My phone was eerily silent yesterday.

I finally called myself to check at 7pm and calls were going straight to voicemail by mistake.
When I sorted it out, I'd had 11 missed calls. I sent a quick message to each to call back when convenient and received just 1 reply- asking me if I spoke Spanish and then hanging up when I said no.

I left my phone on slightly after 10pm to make up for the wasted day and received; 2 uni students at a campus a 90 minute drive away-( wrong age, wrong quantity and too far away ) and then a series of blind drunk randomers who weren't sure exactly where they were but would I be around later on when they are "in town"?

10pm is definately the cut off point for me - I just get spooked at the idea of meeting strangers in the very early hours  :-\

Well I agree, but then some people have very, very little to do with their free time. Others have an occasional scan to see what ladies they know are up to and others still enjoy reading us when we're 'off duty', especially when they're fed up of the ubertouting on the punting boards. The How Not To Book An Escort thread is the most popular one, I think ;D.

I do specifically say please let me know if you can't make it, oh yes yes we'd not let you down without letting you know.....1 hour later nothing. Might have a few days off, reluctant to take bookings from new clients at the moment.

I don't bloody believe this  I've been caught out again. >:(  Since seeing the thread about checking guys numbers on Google, I've made sure that everyone I'm seeing whilst on tour today and tomorrow has a genuine number.  I've also got booking requests on AW and 2 guys have now cancelled ( I know a booking isn't definite until you've got their money, but I thought the added extra of a genuine mobile no. and booking requests would limit cancellations). I'm supposed to be leaving shortly, I can't cancel the hotel as I needed to give them 24 hours notice, and panicking like f*** because if I don't get any other bookings I don't know how I'm going to pay the credit card bill for the hotel, petrol and food.  Seriously stressed out.  I just hope I get at least 2 just to cover my costs. :FF :FF :'( :'(

Sometimes that is just the way it goes, but you may go to the hotel and be really busy.  Some weeks I will look at my diary and see I have a busy week others weeks no advance booking only walk ups as I call them i.e last minute bookings, with 30 minutes notice.  Very often I will have a more profitable week doing last minute bookings and they are less likely to cancel as it is all very need sex now.  It depends where the hotel is but I would take the chance it is only early yet anything can happen.

Good luck x

Having a number that has an internet presence doesn't guarantee folks won't cancel, and vice versa many chaps have seperate 'punting' phones who are absolutely genuine.

Gosh It's been slow for me.

The first two weeks I was working I got alot of calls, saw 3 guys and things were good.

Week 3/4 not so good. I have 1 guy who tried to meet me last week but had to cancel wants to see me on saturday but I haven't had any calls from new clients since the 17th.

I know things slow down sometimes and fluctuate but I guess I need a little help to keep perspective.. halp!

it has been so quiet recently!!

last week i didnt get any bookings until friday and they were 2 half hours.
then i had a half hour booking and one half hour and two one hour bookings saturday.

been quiet again all this week, had one 2 hour booking tuesday so far.

i think the weekend has been fine, but where are all the punters during the week lately?
i thought it would pick up after the easter holidays but it is still stupidly quiet.

i know its close to pay day and the weather has been rubbish.
anyone else had a quiet week? x

its nice to know i'm not alone (although it is rubbish you are quiet!)
i do mostly incalls too and usually see lots of married, older, business men.

the weekend and tuesday they've all been youngish except for one!
and im not liking these half hour bookings either...i usually only get 1 half hour a week.

pffft.
lets hope it picks up.
but thats the downside of this job..you never know! x

Anyway, tonight I am not working (at home with my child) and I've had so many enquiries I could be working back to back all night!

It has picked up for me recently. Friday night I had one one hour client..would have preferred more though.
Saturday two one hours.
Sunday day off.
Monday one half hour ..bit rubbish.
Tuesday 2 one hour appointments, 1 two hour appointment and a half hour appointment.
Yesterday didnt work.
Today a one hour appointment so far.

Its not brilliant, thank god for the Tuesday madness! I believe the sun does bring the clients out!! Much better than last week as I only did a 2 hour booking last week during the week days.
and I always seem to be busiest on a Tuesday :/ strange! x

I got really busy once the easter holidays were over, but it has slowed down considerably  since the football finals started last week. I went on an outcall yesterday and had to sit for 15 minutes infront of the TV because the game was not over yet (he's a long time regular of mine so it's fine) Jeeez. There's a huge game this upcoming Saturday (meaning: I'm taking the day off  ???) and next week is going to be the same thing.

My work is always affected by the footie because I love it! I arrange tours and bookings around matches and I've also had several bookings that included going to a match.
I mention football quite a lot on my blog and of course guys like it because they know they can chat to me about it so it's win win for me!

I can't believe how quiet it's been.
I know I live in a semi rural area and guys round here are just not prepared to travel much more than 15-20 miles, but I can't believe I've seen them all and/or seen 'em all off!

Yes, I have my reg's but I'm sensing that even a few of them are restless for 'fresh meat'.(apologies for the turn of phrase) It's quiet for most of us I think... but does there come a time when you wonder if you've been put on the back burner for the tidal wave of fresh 'up and coming' escorts?
Please tell me I'm just paranoid :-\

I've had less bookings than usual this week, but that's also partly because I'm being particularly choosy at the moment, tending to stick to regulars I know, plus it suits me to be seeing fewer new clients because I have something important going on in my private life. So I'm not worried.

friends back up north are saying they have been dead. Ive never really had regulars, the guys i used to see, just did the rounds with all wg's in the area, so i saw them maybe once a month, twice tops, so i never called them regulars lol

It's quiet on cam as well as escorting at the moment, I displayed my number on AW today as I fancied getting a few in before I go away for the weekend and I've had one call so far and wasn't able to take that as I was in the local shop picking up milk!  ::) If my number isn't displayed then I usually get loads of calls, clearly from other ads, I give up! LOL! Had one cancel today (with plenty of notice) but another booked in but that's it so far and only had one appointment this week so far so not particularly happy! Ho hum! Fingers crossed things start picking up again soon for everyone!

Post by: Sarita on 10 May 2012, 01:32:38 pm
Not sure things will be getting much better any time soon tbh. We're in a double dip recession and people are losing their jobs or scared of losing their jobs, plus there are many  more of us competing for a diminishing client base.

I'm just thankful I have the means to earn a living at the moment. There are many who aren't so fortunate, though I'd be lying if I didn't say I've been struggling recently.
For various reasons I lost my mojo for a while and felt burnt out so didn't answer the phone or take many bookings.
I feel better now, but it's not easy to catch up with that lost income whereas in the past it wouldn't have been a problem.

I'm sorry to sound like the harbinger of doom, but it's reality. (Which doesn't of course mean that there aren't still plenty of men out there with the desire and  means to book us, just that it's tougher).

 i will agree that this year its been shit  -  normally i am pretty much flat out even when i work at home  and often turn away a fair amount of  work 
i have done three tours so far this year and they have been CRAP for me  apart from one which was really a working holiday in the sunshine to cheer me up  ;D

 Yes i covered my overheads of touring
 Yes i made a profit 
 No it was fuck all like it was this time last year when i was rolling in it   ( im still rolling in it just that its a harder slog  :FF )
 
 When doing my sums I made  more money when i was working from my flat in Bristol this year than what i did from the last 3 tours as at home i have minimal overheads to work from my flat as its paid for also i dont work long hours  i can work 11 -7pm monday to friday weekends go in and see a few regs and evenings if i get a evening appointment i can easily slip back over to the flat to do appointments 

Thankfully it looks like my tour that im doing now is back to normal so far for me  ( fingers crossed)

One of the place that i visit it used to be fabulous last August i spent 9 days there working and never did less than 800 a day every single day  it was heaving
 There recently and a few ladies that i know all agreed that its was shit compared to the previous year and this is a realtivly weathly place with more than a few millionaires with money to spend
     Sadly now you have loads of girls  charging next to nothing   clients still ring me and ask when im coming back but its a big never ever from me unless things change which i dont see happening any time soon

Its pretty much the same all over the place  and i would rather work at home and money wise and time wise make just as much and sleep in my own bed at night
im now picking my tours very carefully not wasting my money on going to places unless i feel thats it really really worth the effort and the expenses 
 
i actually dont think it will get any better i think it will get worse 

thats my 10 pence worth

I couldnt agree more i would hate to be new starting out in this business as i think that a lot of new girls struggle and struggle badly to see even a few clients a week
thankfully it the one thing that being older and having been around for a long time works in my favour and probably a few of the other laidies in that because we are well established most of have regulars and are reasonably well known in the punting /escort industry which can sometime be our saving grace

The week before last week (before the hot weather) and the week before that were the first weeks that I have ever struggled with bookings in my time of being an escort. I think I only did 3 jobs the first week and 2 the second. I was getting a little concerned. But as always it's picked up again and I'm getting at least the two bookings I want each day again. I think it's just a quiet time but I do believe it always seems to pick up with this job.


I find that good regular clients and overnight bookings seem to get me through the quieter times.

That's the dilemma I face.

Overnights and long appts have gotten more difficult for me (spending all that time with someone and usually trying with all your might). But at the same time, it pulls me out the ruts! I mean, when you go 2 weeks with little to no bookings, an overnight on the horizon can easily turn things around in an instant.

This month was like that. One 4 hour evening followed by an overnight later in the week. It's money. But then, I didn't have another client in nearly 2 weeks after that and I spent like CRAZY. And since those 2 weeks ago, I've only pulled in a little less than $500. Not to mention spending on ads and travel always takes out $100-200 a month on it's on. Seems like a lot of money but then I wonder, where did it all go?

This last week has been awfully quiet for me.  Typical next week I've got enquiries coming in, but I have my period  :FF Although despite this I have taken a booking for monday night.  I've decided to be brave and try those beppy sponge tampons - just ordered them online I hope they come in time!  can you buy them in Boots or superdrug?  (I know this is the wrong thread to be asking this question.... apols ladies)

So far (5pm Wednesday) officially my slowest week ever!  One hour on Monday, half an hour today, thats it.

Sods law of course that I've got two potentially overlapping bookings tomorrow night - the first originally said 5.30/6 then changed it to 6.30/7, after I'd agreed to an 8pm booking grrrrrr.  Then the earlier chap phoned again asking for an o/night (put me on the spot), so I said ok, if it goes well...........but then theres that other chap later, help!

I don't wanna cancel either of them yet as its so slow - of course one or either of them could just not show so then there wouldn't be a problem.  Or I could just say I can't do the overnight (I'd be too worried about the money to sleep a wink anyways)

I would lay money that the changing time/overnight man won't show.  Get them to confirm mid afternoon tomorrow to see who is genuine.

Guess what when I quoted my overnight rate the 'client' decided he didn't even want a one hour booking! Just goes to show what happens when I ignore my instincts.

(Normally I insist on a shorter booking before an overnight - this guy 'persuaded' me to see how it went)  I should've known he was a big fat timewaster then  :FF  I've been feeling unwell, obviously my TW sense went AWOL as well!

Guess I've been quite lucky then, I'm new as well only been on AW for about a week. I've had a couple of idiots but most people have been nice. More work than I can take on at the moment but not complaining at all  ;D Had one guy come in beginning of the week booked for an hour, stayed for 2 (very politely asked me if he could and I said yes cos I had nothing else on that night) and still came back 2 days later   :)

Well my phone has been ringing off the the hook with guys all wanting an hour at 100 quid  in London   My poor phone is traumatised

  So i thought well f.... it, might as well keep it, as im there and lots have seen it  and it would feel to me to be a bit  c....tish if i took it off,   So i kept the special offer up and have just finally sat down for the first time since 1pm today

First of all : Go Paris go!!! After that, I'm sure you'll have a great present ... from yourself to your heroic escort-self.


Last appointment was 3 weeks ago! My nails never were so perfectly painted and re-repainted.
Knowing that I'm in Paris, outcall only and a light advertiser, as I like to keep things really cool. But it's to much this time!
Even my regulars delayed their appointments this month.

Wait and see...

Well there you go! Now you see what I've been talking about to you and dealing with here in the Wild wild west...Everyone wants to do 1 hour appointments. I've just recently started offering up the 1/2 hour for $130 this week. I'm curious to see how it's going to turn out.

But now I don't feel so cheap being that you went the $100 route LOL. Or is is ?100?

Ugh, tell me about it. Normally by this time, I have paid atleast 1 or 2 bills. Guess how many I've been able to do? None. I'm seriously panicked and stressed out. Last night I didn't get to sleep til 5 am and woke up around 1230 in the afternoon. When that happens, it's from lack of work and stress from it...and usually try to tour to get a change of pace.

Unfortunently, I can't get my Arizona tour going because I don't have any money to afford the visit. They are asking me about my dates, I can't give them one because I have no money coming in...It's almost become surreal. And the audacity of one escort to tell me, "I don't believe in a city of millions you can't get clients in".

I can't believe it either, but it's the current reality. I'm uncomfortable because it's actually been a pretty good and steady year for me...I would have occasional slow periods here and there, but the way it is now...Ugh, it's pushing me to permanently leave the business until things turn around.

Not bad, $155 USD. But that's only because our dollar is weak. 100 is 100 weather its GBP, USD or Euros. It's shit pay unless like Paris you're doing 15 guys a day. Even at $100, I can't get these cheap suckers to give it up. They rather find some desperate bitch walking around in flip flops and give them $30.

I'm still doing my ?100ph rate and things have been so busy for me! Being that I only see a couple of clients a day I'm having to turn work away again which I don't like but never want to force myself and like to keep the guys limited so I still enjoy myself. Got a couple of overnights comming up. Saving for a big shopping spree and spending money for my trip to Thailand only a couple of months to go can't wait!!!

but the difference is im not moaning or feeling pissed of at these guys  i dont feel agreived or anything

its 100 pounds sterling  which is 160 us dollars but its a vanilla service  -  if they want cim  uniforms strap on role play tie and tease ect then its 150  and if they want 2 hours its 250 they get the discount on the first hour   not on the second 
i wouldnt do two hours for 200 or less which is what most would assume

Blaine, we don't slag off other sex workers here regardless of how they work of what they charge. Not everybody who charges low rates or operates differently to you is a 'desperate bitch', and we'd appreciate you keeping your offensive, narrow minded views to yourself.

For what it's worth when I work in New York (and I know different cities have different going rates) I charge $200 for a half hour, ?300 for an hour, $500 for two and so on - I'm nearly forty and I don't have any problems getting plenty of nice clients; I agree that $100 is shit but if I'd set that as an acceptable rate I'd just have suck it up.

In the UK I charge ?100 for 45 minutes and ?130 for the hour which is midrange and I'm well on my way towards doing ten today, or I will have by nine pm or so tonight. Have you tried touring?
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: lilith on 15 June 2012, 02:21:54 pm

I second this.

We just do what we are comfortable with as setting our prices and choosing ways to proceed on an appointment. Am I right?
A question of beeing self confident and saafe ;)

And sometimes we can also discover new passes on the job by doing a simple mistake.
Paris's one inspired me a discount for convention visitors there and then during the year and regular flash promotions like every last 3 days of the month. I would never thought about it before.
Just need to think about how I can do it and the effects it will have on my business...

So, thanks Paris.

I've found this has possibly been my busiest week - however a week full of not nice people.

Regarding prices, for my area i am pretty expensive, but no more expensive than the agencies. I charge ?120 per hour for incalls and ?130 for outcalls. After the day i've had i am considering putting my prices up just a bit, but my prices reflect the amount of money i need before i can sit back at the end of the day and not feel guilty for what i do - sounds skewed but thats how i see it. When i worked for an agency i started to resent how much i was having to do for ?50 per hour - hence the decision to go indie.
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: ParisB on 15 June 2012, 04:55:15 pm
To  be honest i never understand the thinking of that if they are paying more they will be nicer client  ive  never found that to be the case either way personally  what  i think what it is is because someone is paying more you may feel that your more likely to put up with their crap /shit or its not so obvious ( the money heals the pain ;D ) whereas if your not getting what you want price wise, and having to put up with crap then yes thinking that higher paying clients would be easier to deal with 
i dont think they are any easier or harder regardless of what they pay its how you perceive it
       
as i mentioned earlier ive been in for the past 3 days  charging 100 for an hour, i know for a fact that its a bloody good deal at that price for what i do and for london as well -  but all the guys that i have met have been  really nice clients, no different to if they had paid me more money ( imo)

Im not totally sure if the stuff you posted about  skanky whore with flip flops on was directed at me as you clearly have a problem with girls charging less than you and clients seeing them or wanting the same from you  ( I wasnt able to quote it direct though)   
 
However if its not then i apologise,  if it is i couldnt care less either way . but  why would you feel cheap against what others  charge -  its irrelavant they might do more services than you /bet better than you  or guys might just like skanky whores with flips flops on for 30buck
 
  the difference is you think your  worth more than 100 dollars or whatever you charge  ie 100 dollars which is 65 pounds for half an hour  and its your choice to think that as your right however, you cant as many of us have said moan about your prices as your an independent you can charge what you like, and your right 100 bucks that is cheap, its 65 quid  i wouldnt f.. and suck for that ,(but i have no interest in those that do charge that as a price its there choice)
  i charge 80pounds  or 130 usdollars for 30mins and 130 for an hour which is 200 us dollars   
    However what you need to get your head around is this, any business owner will tell you there is a bottom line which is the lowest point the business can take before its start to fail and not be profitable
   So for me mine bottom prices  is 100 for the Bristol and at present for london.  It the miniumum i want and if i get that im happy of course i would like more i would like 150 or 200pounds but i will take 100 as that my bottom line  i wont take 90 or even 99.99  its a hundred or nothing as the bottom line
that way i wont ever fail or be unhappy because i am getting exactly the min amount that i want  and i set 
 In Ireland my bottom prices is 150 pounds or 200 us dollar and in Norway its 230 pounds

  As far as i can see, you dont have a bottom line set as your accepting a price you dont want and your not happy with. So thats why your failing
   
But again i dont think im cheap  and im happy with what i do-  if i was charging 30 quid and on the street i still woulnt think i was cheap as its what i want to earn it would be my bottom line
 
you on the other charge less than what is your bottom line  and then moan about it and then bitch about those that charge less than you - i dont get it maybe if you spent more time worrying about your own business instead of what other charged you would earn more money  ( just a thought)   

and i dont need to see 15 clients a day why the f... would i im not a machine 
 for london what im charging is a bloody good deal, and guys are paying it, and im taking it and they are all telling me its a good deal and that i should charge more but im not going to it was a mistake but it working out just fine   also i dont look at what i make per day i look at what i make per week /per tour  per day drives me nuts 
       So if i do 7 clients a day min ( which is half of what you mentiond and doing more than that) - my cost are say 130 a day ( hotel trains adverts ect ) so 3 days at 700 is 2100pounds  take of 400in expenses  and it just short of 1700pounds min for three days work  pounds which is 2700 us dollars.   

Personally i think thats pretty good earnings for such a  cheap whore with flip flops on ;D although mine flip flops are Gucci and have real  diamondes in them  as im worth it and in conclusion i would rather be a cheap skanky whore in flip flops with roughly 3000us dollars in my crap tescos carrier bag   for 2and a half days work  than charge more and earn less

I know this is quite an old posting, but it really annoys me when clients try and get a "discount" because of the credit crunch.

All of us have certain standards we wish to follow, and will set prices on what we want. So for a client to try and get in on the cheap is just cheeky.

Like me going into a restaurant and saying "Can I get this meal half price, cos we are going through a bad credit crunch".... I dont think so!

I had a client try and do that a short while ago. He wanted an overnight booking, my standard rate is ?1000 (for 12 hours), and he was offering me ?200. I challenged him, and he was like "we're in a credit crunch you know!"... and??????

All this talk of how slow it is, is making me panic a *wee* bit.

I'm sorting my life out at the moment. Just got a new incall that I'm moving into at the end of the month, and am sorting out website and pictures and stuff.

But still feeling like... oh God what if there are no client's anymore?

Luckily my outgoings aren't going to be too high (?700 p/m- including rent and bills) so I should be fine.

So nervous about properly starting again!

  As far as i can see, you dont have a bottom line set as your accepting a price you dont want and your not happy with. So thats why your failing
   
But again i dont think im cheap  and im happy with what i do-  if i was charging 30 quid and on the street i still woulnt think i was cheap as its what i want to earn it would be my bottom line
 
you on the other charge less than what is your bottom line  and then moan about it and then bitch about those that charge less than you - i dont get it maybe if you spent more time worrying about your own business instead of what other charged you would earn more money  ( just a thought)   

and i dont need to see 15 clients a day why the f... would i im not a machine 
 for london what im charging is a bloody good deal, and guys are paying it, and im taking it and they are all telling me its a good deal and that i should charge more but im not going to it was a mistake but it working out just fine   also i dont look at what i make per day i look at what i make per week /per tour  per day drives me nuts 
       So if i do 7 clients a day min ( which is half of what you mentiond and doing more than that) - my cost are say 130 a day ( hotel trains adverts ect ) so 3 days at 700 is 2100pounds  take of 400in expenses  and it just short of 1700pounds min for three days work  pounds which is 2700 us dollars.   

Personally i think thats pretty good earnings for such a  cheap whore with flip flops on ;D although mine flip flops are Gucci and have real  diamondes in them  as im worth it and in conclusion i would rather be a cheap skanky whore in flip flops with roughly 3000us dollars in my crap tescos carrier bag   for 2and a half days work  than charge more and earn less   

Hun, you wasted your breath. I was not referring to you as walking in flip flops. I'm talking about these Cali chicks out here. Please don't be offended and get all catty with me. We're women. Independent women all working together, not putting each other down.

I will take your advice to heart and thankyou for explaining about the bottom-line. I will try to work out ways to do so and have recently tweaked my rates a bit to match yours, but at the moment it's still been a dead week for me. I mind my business and I make money, own a condo and have my own creature comforts. I'm not failing...I've just hit a bit of a slow spot.

It's bad enough my confidence and self-esteem is damaged due to lack of clients...you made it worse. Thanks

As I said if you wernt refering to me then please accept my apologies I simply read it as you were.
The last thing I would do is slag of other escorts because as you say we all do the same thing
You.were moaning about your prices and. your clients and I said your the only one who can change it no one else can do it but you. In fact we all said it thenytou started moaning about girls in your area that charge less . Sadly   I don't have much paitence for anyone that moan About stuff that's totally within the ability to change 

And for what its worth when I started out in this  business iwas charging 30 pounds all inn I knew no better or worse.  its even on my first field report 30quid. So I can't even deny it (lol) And l ike you I didn't feel good or hap py with it so I change it and virtually reinvented myself
I cringe now with embarrassment at those prices . but for a while I was happy with it and when wasnt I changed everthing

 Which was exactly my point just got side tracked cos. Football been on so gone quite

 Sadly saafe wasn't around when I started in fact I don't even think the internet was around either. So I never got any help or input from anyone
So when I do give it it comes from the heart and I would hate anyone to feel that they are working and not getting what they want to earn because that souldestroying  because I really do know what its like from the bottom up in this business

All this talk of how slow it is, is making me panic a *wee* bit.

I'm sorting my life out at the moment. Just got a new incall that I'm moving into at the end of the month, and am sorting out website and pictures and stuff.


But still feeling like... oh God what if there are no client's anymore?

Luckily my outgoings aren't going to be too high (?700 p/m- including rent and bills) so I should be fine.

So nervous about properly starting again!

We are all self-employed and we decide when our days off are, what our rates are, what clients we choose to see etc etc. If we don't like it that much we don't have to do it.

That's not entirely true though. I believe in this day and age, the market sets the rates. Sure one can set a rate to whatever they want, but doesn't mean people going to pay it. The market (which consists of clients and escorts) is such a stronghold. It's power forces things to either happen or not happen.

The many times I've heard "it's too much" or "too rich for my blood"...that's the market talking. And different markets for different areas.

For example today: I offer massage for $60. The guy then says he wants mutual touching and a happy ending. I then say, "well it'll be $80 all together" (they want extras it's GONNA BE extra). He says, "I only have $60". I'm like okay I'll do $60 no problem. But then I didn't hear anything else from him.

What was that all about?

Blaine, we don't slag off other sex workers here regardless of how they work of what they charge. Not everybody who charges low rates or operates differently to you is a 'desperate bitch', and we'd appreciate you keeping your offensive, narrow minded views to yourself.

For what it's worth when I work in New York (and I know different cities have different going rates) I charge $200 for a half hour, ?300 for an hour, $500 for two and so on - I'm nearly forty and I don't have any problems getting plenty of nice clients; I agree that $100 is shit but if I'd set that as an acceptable rate I'd just have suck it up.

In the UK I charge ?100 for 45 minutes and ?130 for the hour which is midrange and I'm well on my way towards doing ten today, or I will have by nine pm or so tonight. Have you tried touring?

And you're bragging to me because of what? 10 clients a day seriously? I wouldn't even want to see half that many and I'd be happy.

You should probably take into consideration the differences that exist rather than just assume I should have no issue getting 10 clients at 130 pounds.

yes I've tried touring but generally I don't see that many or otherwise I'd travel to meet for an overnight. And make as much as you do from 1 client. Brag about that.

General Time Waster/Haggler/Boundary Pusher. Wouldn't even book at ?10. Prolly wanking while you discussed his "requirements" or "discount".

I didn?t read Paris?s post about seeing 10 guys a day as bragging. If anything it?s testament to how hard work, good business acumen and a stellar reputation can and do pay dividends.

With your comment regarding market forces I think there is a grain of truth in it but I don?t think things have got that bad that we need to start listening to what every Tom, Dick, Harry think we should charge. If it were up to most punters we?d be giving ourselves away for a fiver! Some people will always want something for nothing and even then they?re not happy. Your example of lowering your rate from ?80 to ?60 demonstrates this.

I don?t charge low end prices or high end prices and trust me I get more than enough business and I?m no supermodel (sorry if you think that?s bragging). I work hard on my marketing, delivering an excellent service (hence why I have a good number of regulars) and most importantly I set boundaries and stick to them. If someone really wants to see me, on my terms and at the rates I set they will, if not, no bother plenty of other fish in the sea. My point is that the business is out there, if something isn?t working look first to how you could do something to improve matters and then and only then start blaming everyone / everything else for your woes. I?m sorry if that sounds harsh but I just get the impression from some of your other posts on here that you?re not particularly happy doing this job and I?m just trying to make you see that you actually have more control over things than you think.

Bless. Blaine, you really do need to either knock the chip off your shoulder or make your mind up - it's not that long since you were whining about how all your clients were cheapskates who didn't want more than half an hour with you (and I turn away plenty of overnights, because I can earn far more money in the two days of my time one knocks out without half the stress and hassle of having to spend that amount of my time in one stranger's company). And please don't try your ridiculous attempts at being patronising on me; I wasn't bragging because I don't need to - I've probably been whoring since you were at school, and I'm very well aware of how our job works (and not all of those ten clients paid ?130, some paid less and others more). I work away two weeks of the month precisely so I don't have to bother much the other two - what would you suggest when I'm away and paying for a hotel? Turn away decent paying customers so I can come on here and wax lyrical about how much better I am than ladies who want to work in a different way to me? Do you think your precious, cossetted twat will fall off if you shag more than two men a day?

As I have said, your pompous, judgemental posts and crappy attitude towards any sex workers who don't do things in ways that you find acceptable are getting increasingly irritating. Either get over yourself, or you can try Pre Mod for a few days until you learn a bit of tolerance.

Oh  :)
I got it confused with the part here where Paris recounted how busy she was on her London tour when she forgot to update her rates. Either way just goes to show there is still plenty of work out there.
I need to get into touring but I?m hotel phobic and crap at navigation. I got lost two streets away on Bishopsgate the other day and had to get my sister to come and pick me up. So I think I?ll stick to London! ;D

You're right...but at the same time just understand it's different variables. You keep coming at me harsh and I never came at you like that.

Think about it. This thread is about business being slow. You have people talking about not getting work or calls for a week or longer. Where do you find it appropiate to then say to me about how many clients you get in a day? I work hard and I treat clients good...I bend over backwards (and forward, literally) for clients yet like Alisha said, some people want to get something from nothing. I've done things that other females would have upselled and asked even more for.

Maybe you're blessed to be where you are located (can you remind me again?) to do what you're doing. It don't mean I'm not working or advertising or being just as nice as you are. And that's the issue I'm having with you and that's why we're not seeing eye to eye. I know what you saying, but understand what I'm saying.

My complaints about half-hours were in direct correlation to the fact that I'm already working with a small number of clients to begin with. To only have them book half-hours was frustrating. You say I could have asked for more? Guess what? One of the clients...a few months ago I tried twice to get him to pay me more. Even in person. I told him it's $160. He looked me in the eye and said, "COME ON, I know you can give me a better deal than that." I said, well...$120. He's like..."I have $100, can we go for that?"

So understand it's  a fight for me. Every day is a battle. Against the market and the dollar. United States is fucked up. People here don't EXPECT sex to cost. They think it's their God given right and to negotiate.

So you have to work hard to recoup it and it's not nice when you don't     We all work incredibly hard just that some of us have better luck than others some times it can be location price advertising sometimes it's one thing and sometimes it's everything you simply don't know

 You know when your client said you can do better than that  with regards to your prices  you should have said yes I can and kicked his ass out the door
By letting him set the price as such no wonder you have a chip on your shoulder and feel pissed off with clients
He probably had the full price to pay you  but you allowed him to negotiate a price u wernt happy with. And accepted it

Well this thread seems to have veered off course somewhat.  Sorry Blaine but you won't take advice with any type of grace and yet seem to think its ok to complain and diss just about everyone - not nice and not cool.  Perhaps a line could be drawn under this as I can't be the only one who is just plain bored by it.

So back on topic  ;D thank goodness for repeat customers this week as otherwise I'd be having a very quiet week.  Hmmm oh yes and big up the guys who don't like football.

you have a very negative attitude towards the business in general and clients pick up on it.  You came on here and asked advice and some well respected ladies in the community gave you some.  You arent taking it.  Maybe its time you took a break and decide if its really worth being so pissy and unhappy with your life.

Good Luck

You're allowing hagglers and boundary pushers to run your business - you should really stand your ground and say "it's $160, or there's the door". OR  you could say "yes, I have a better deal, it's $200" and when he complains, say "that's a better deal for ME" ;D

If I may say one thing on this thread, my stance is this:

When other ladies are moaning about having little or no work
through no great fault of their own, it does not look good when others
state they are busy busy busy.  Whether intended or not it does
look like boasting with a hint of smugness.

Far better to say nothing if one is doing well when others say they
aren't.

That's what I do.   ;)

It's slow for me too.  So slow that I took yesterday afternoon off and went out shopping.  Which I really enjoyed, I didn't spend a lot of money but it did remind me of why I do this job. 

The football and the fact that it's finally sunny here has slowed things down completely.  So far today I have had one phone chat booking and that is it.

I feel really guilty because the business side of me wanted England to lose last night.  But the patriotic side of me wanted them to win.

Can't wait for it to be over.  And then we have Wimbeldon and the Olympics to look forward to.  Why do men have to be so sports mad?  and why do they spend the money they could be giving me at the pub?

Blaine

you have a very negative attitude towards the business in general and clients pick up on it.  You came on here and asked advice and some well respected ladies in the community gave you some.  You arent taking it.  Maybe its time you took a break and decide if its really worth being so pissy and unhappy with your life.

Good Luck

Emma

I DON'T!

That's why I WANT to get out of this stupid profession. Understand that I am waiting impatiently to LEAVE IT.  4 1/2 years and I can't do it anymore. The good times were good, and it's when I really appreciated it. Back when every offer for an appointment wasn't a ploy to get me to lower my rates. When things weren't piss ass slow day in and day out.

My current attitude is a direct result of what's become of this business. I didn't come into this to go days and weeks without a minimum $200/hr appointment. Since last week, here's what I've had:

Client 2 Sundays ago: calls asking for a "deep massage" for $100. I say, "you want me to strap it on?" It's 150. He says, "it's not $100?" I say no...that's not a massage, call it what it is (and to me, even 150 isn't that much and my boyfriend happened to see him walking past as I had to take the appointment...and he brings it up to me everytime we're drunk and he WANTS ME TO GET OUT OF THIS AND I DO TOO FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!

The following 3 clients have been $60-80 dollar massage appointments that I bend over backwards to hustle up online, yet there's not a single bill paid yet...I'm behind on every one of them. I'm working with diminishing returns. It's not that I'm choosing to, but the higher paying clients are not around at this time.

This morning I woke up and thought, "what's happened to the traveling clients? The ones who stayed in hotels by the airport or downtown? What has happened? I used to get them once or twice a week?" It's almost like things have just vanished...and my attitude came AFTER. Listen to me again. AFTER I began noticing all of this and my earnings have been going south, which has just recently happened towards the end of May (when school let's out????)

My negativety towards the industry is a result of the lack of work, the type of clients I'm having to work with and the little bit of money that's only trickling in. I wasn't this negative 1 month ago.

Post by: The Bachelor on 20 June 2012, 07:37:14 pm
And by the way, I'm counting down another 30 days or less to get out of this. I already have a plan to leave it...so don't think I'm just talking about it. I'm bout it bout it.

I just don't want to do this anymore  :'(

You know when your client said you can do better than that  with regards to your prices  you should have said yes I can and kicked his ass out the door
By letting him set the price as such no wonder you have a chip on your shoulder and feel pissed off with clients
He probably had the full price to pay you  but you allowed him to negotiate a price u wernt happy with. And accepted it   

You're right...but he ended up becoming a pretty good regular though and would only stay for like half an hour. But then, I started feeling used because he wanted kissing and cumming and THAT'S when I started having issues.

I think next time he calls, like the end of this week I'm sure....should I go ahead and tell him it's going to cost more? Or is it too late?

After 4.5 years of working in this business and you still need advice concerning whether to charge
a regular client more?

Something not right about all you have told us Blaine.

I understand what you say in that your bad attitude came after things went downhill for you,
not the other way. Is that really true though?  Clients just don't disappear like that unless there is
a good reason in my experience.

I have no real idea of where you advertise or how you market yourself but if work was abundant
until recently then it is either just a quiet patch which we all go through or there is something putting
those guys off phoning you.  You can't be having ALL the bad luck in just meeting guys who want to
pay less.  I think in 3 years I have only had one guy ask for a reduced rate and that was a new guy
who I told sorry no can do.

Unless we know how you present yourself in your website or advertising then we know little to be able
to advise further.

Would you stay in the business if work picked up or are you so out of spirits that it is too late to rectify?

Unfortunately Foxing when there is footie on the telly everything/almost everything grinds to a halt in the prossy department.  Men want to go down the pub with their mates and not visit a prossy for a leg over.   :(

ANYONE FINDING IT SLOW....

* Update your AW profile
* Get more pics (no need for professional pics, as long as they do look like you)
* Get a website
* Update your website
* Run a limited "special offer"
* Offer discounts for longer bookings
* Offer discounts during quiet times (such as Euro football, Olympics, etc)
* Offer (and advertise) discounts for REGULAR regulars (guys who book you every week, etc)
* See what your competition is doing
* Look at how social media can help your business
* Find more places to add your site link to
* Think about adding more services to your repartoire
* Tour
* Catch up with book-keeping/accounts
* Extend your availability
* Start a blog, or write a new blog post


That's just off the top of my head - anyone want to add to this list?

It's been so quiet today I decided to have some very strong garlicy curry with some raw onions in a salad.  Then a client phones for an appointment.  Sod's Law. 

Cat  that is a great list, the only other things I can think of are to extend your availablity if you can and blog.  And be consistant.  If you have a special offer for Saturday from 12pm until 6pm, stick to it.  Don't keep chopping and changing things, it takes time for things to filter down to the masses. If you keep changing services rates times etc clients will think you are unreliable and flaky.

Oh yeah check your listings/links make sure they are active and if they have pictures update those pictures.

* Run a limited "special offer" - did it, no takings
* Offer discounts for longer bookings - did it too, 2 timewasters called, 1 who I googled and he's a political compaigner, but booked before but noshowed.
* Offer discounts during quiet times (such as Euro football, Olympics, etc) - done it, didn't help. well, half hour special got 1 client.
* Offer (and advertise) discounts for REGULAR regulars (guys who book you every week, etc) - nobody but 1 guy books me every week (actually every 2 weeks), and he's already getting a HUGE discount. Otherwise, I've never found that to work either.
* See what your competition is doing - I have, and I noticed local competition is DROPPING OUT meaning I'm not the only 1. Providers in this town seem to pop up, and disappear. Me and a couple of gals in their 30s are the only ones who been up for awhile. Most people can't deal with this town's cheapskates and periods of NOTHINGNESS.

Moral of the story? This job sucks and I hate it. I'm going back to school. It sucks because it's too transient, atleast in America. Maybe in Europe it's a real job. Not here.

Here's an example of an email today sent FROM a client: Well we seem to be doing all of this by meail and I am only on the computer now and then so it take longer you can call me to set something up if you liek and I do work for a living so I have ot work around that also 3**-91*-2**1

My advice Blaine is the job is obviously getting you down so don't do it.  You have the power to change it so therefore you need to look at yourself when moaning as you are the ONLY one who can change things.  Life is too short to do something that you are not enjoying.
Simple black and white no grey bits in the middle.

Post by: ParisB on 21 June 2012, 09:49:00 am
Couldnt aggree more with all of that 

One thing i do find that works great is mini video clips  i have loads that i use and rotate depending on where i am   so when i  post an advert on say punternet or punterlink or escort ireland saying that im visiting / or availble i also post the link to my video   it get loads of hits this way and increased bookings  most of the guys that i see that are new say that they have seen one of the clips
    i did my first one that i still use  4 ++ years years ago sat on my sofa  its less than a minute long

in it i introduce myself say my name and ect  and at the end i  say  if you want to touch me kiss me and fuck me you need to to call me  that way you can get your hands on these ( and i drop the towel to show my boobs   ::) )
    The touch me kiss me f... me bit i copied from an old Sam Fox song  ( for those of you who remember the page 3 girl of the 80s showing my age now)  She did a song called Touch Me I want to feel your body  ;D ;D   i just changed a few words   

   if you click on my intro video you will see it here  it was done 4 years ago but its still good   http://www.adultwork.com/ViewProfile.asp?UserID=358631

it a cheap effective way of advertising yourself  i did mine on my webcam 

 i post different video links each time i post  i have 6 of them that use the most and  i rotate so guys dont see the same one and get bored
 
I have one of me in pvc and boots Its more of a domination tie and tease one  ( i call it thigh high boots pvc and me)

I have one of me in the shower that i call  hot and wet 

one called naughty boys  me in pvc catsuit telling guys im gonna smack there ass as i hit my thighs with a paddle or ruler

 I even did ones when i was on holiday in thailand and the maldives earlier this year  as its a fab setting but im yet to edit them properly   ( thats how sad i am  sat in the maldives in a fab villa and im trying to video myself in the outside shower) and if i go on holiday and there is a nice bathroom or balcony or beach im there with my camera forcing oh to video me in the sea ect   
Whenever i get photos done i get a few videos done as well that i may or may not use   
i have a page on my gallery that just for video clips that i use and  i can post the link so that guys can see maybe 3 - 4 vidoes of me

i also post the video  links on twitter ect and put my special offers on twitter as well 

other things can be  putting a calender on the front page of your website so that guys can see where you are
 
have your number on each page of your website but in particular the front page services and photos pages and the price pages

I put a special offer on of 1hr at 100 for mon - fri between 11-4pm bristol only  ive been doing this for years it can take a while for offers to take off  its on my adult work profile  but im strict and i dont let guys book it outside of this time
I have a yahoo group where i have 1200 members  i post once sometimes twice  a week with details of the special offer  i also post new photos / and my tours

even if im touring say in ireland or on holiday  i still post on punternet punterlink and adultwork and in my yahoo group every week without failt even though im not in the uk as i will be back in a few weeks  so my adverts stay up ( i set up an alarm on my phone so that i wont forget to do it )

if i blog on my blog then i copy and past it to my adultwork profile

all my adverts that i post i copy and save them and i have a folder called adverts on my pc
this way i can just copy /paste it into whereever i want to advertisie and it take seconds rather than having to spend ages thinking of what i want to say

btw if anyone is in my area the southwest and need a good photographer or someone to do videos clips  for website /adultwork private stuff
i have recently used and excellent photographer who did my most recent photos for me and some videos as well
   he charges between 150 -250 for 2- 3 hours  and it can be photos + videos however you want to work it its your choice

 he dosnt have a studio for this sort of work   So would need to be in hotel /apartment but if your visiting bristol bath area on tour and in hotel then  i would definatly reccomend him
he dose have his own professional website as well that if you want i can pm

he puts the photos vidoes on his website with a password you pick the one that you like and he then edits them photo shops them for you ect if
if you want your names ect put on them he can do that   edit the videos with your name /number website ect on it as well
Quick turnaround ie under 1 week

If you click on my adultwork profile that i posted above you can see my video  i basically did this one myself  i used my webcam on my laptop  and i pointed at my boobs 
i worked out how long it was going to take me and set it on a time for 10 seconds over it and then just recorded 
it took me several attempts to get it right it often dose 
i do the same thing  for other videos as well  if you have a client you know well you can always ask him to hold the camera for you   
if you have an iphone ipad or blackberry they all have reverse camera so you can record while you see yourself in the camera so you know what your doing

My repeats are very irregular so whilst I am grateful to them I cannot really depend on them in any particular week\month\3 monthly period.

Ouch, that is really tough.
I hate football too, and I'm sure it will pick up for you afterwards.
Repeats are brill and a known quantity to a degree,
but where have all the new clients gone.
My repeats are irregular too. Some haven't seen me for a month, some for years.
It's like that every week, though different clients. Once they see me first time they always come back. Though their orbital distance hugely varies.
But when I get a new client it's like "Oh!"

Bugger. I want to move.  Based on 2011, that's 41% of my business gone instantly.   :(

I'm wondeing how the Olyimpics is going to affect us. Will it bring in more business, along with the tourists?

I've heard that hotel prices are going to rise sharply.

It doesn't help that where I live football IS a religion.

The Olympics seem very remote up here in Scotland.

If it turns out to be more than a big malefootballLOVEIN I might have to think of touring again next month.

Just had a text from a 'regular' who lately has become a pain in the arse and on the way to fast becoming an 'ex regular' :FF
He's got into the habit of texting late at weekends when he's had a 'few' and asking for a quicky. I do them, during working hours and they can be a great money spinner. He knows my hours, I give him discount as it is 'cos he was one of my first clients and we got on ok. (he doesn't have cheesy bits!!) Usually ignore him but tonight, bombarded with texts/missed calls (phone goes on silent/divert from 9pm until about 11pm in case of bookings for next day, then goes off) I just replied to last text, saying yes, ok, but it's ?60 as I class after 9pm as unsociable hours... I expect he's gone for a familiar alternative... a fuzzy old porn film, a can of beer in the left hand and his nob in t'other... Times are hard but standards of practice are essential for my well being!

Hmm yes it is a little sad when a regular who has previously behaved impeccably begins to show
signs of becoming a timewaster. Not sure why they do this but it has happened to me on a few occasions.
I end up blocking them so don't have to deal with it any more but it is a bit of a puzzle
Could it be familiarity breeds contempt?

Yep, think you got it in one! It's a common theme on here and can be a hard lesson to learn, especially when new to this job.
We should put signs up in discreet places saying, 'GIVE DISCOUT AND YOU ARE DOOMED!' ;D

hmm yes I think are right there.  I've had the same with a regular who started out being a good payer (offering over the odds for a 2 hour booking), then I did an overnight with him in a lovely hotel with tons of champagne, the next time he even paid me ?100 to go out for a drink with him!  Since then its been one cancellation after another (admittedly I had to cancel one too), offering to pay me by cheque, and he wants to chat for ages on the phone.  I've stopped replying to his texts today, I just can't be bothered anymore...  NEXT... !

It is very very quiet not had a client for a week ,however turned a few away due to not having compatiable times but very quiet. I am now starting to see this as if it happens its a bonus and not rely on it so much especially when its football, holidays and stuff.. I am sure it will pick up a little.
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?

Quiet this week? Look at the BIG picture...

COULD BE:

Football.
and/or
End of month/Payday coming up.
and/or
Summer hols coming up.
and/or
Wet weather/floods affecting travel/desire.
and/or
Economy/Latest government proposals.
and/or
The NatWest/RBS computer problems.
and/or.........

There's a multitude of reasons why it's gone quiet recently. And you HAVE to look further than day to day/week to week for an overall finance evaluation. You're self-employed/running a business, and ultimately it's monthly/yearly income that's important.

Oh tell me about it. Have a guy who's doing the same thing and after today I just don't know if I want to take his calls anymore.

He has booked me twice last year, $500 each. Even bought me a TV and microwave. However, he has since cancelled 3 times. Last summer, and then this week he claimed he didn't know his friends were taking him to casino/dinner on our scheduled date. I said okay...but I need a deposit to hold Sunday if you want to reschedule. He actually paid it, but then cancelled again citing forest fires in the area which is true....but he called me this morning asking if we could move the time up, then calls again later saying to cancel.

He keeps going on and on about how he knows it messes me up and that he hates to do that and apologizes. But after 3 times, some of that just starts seeming like either he's unorganized or unreliable and I just can't keep dealing with it.

Just had my best weekend ever . Lots of calls and email enquiries too, including someone i saw a few times when i started last year, hope it stays good for e and gets better for everyone. I hear AW  has deleted over 1000 profiles recently so maybe that's a factor? Going to treat myself to red shoes i have been eyeing up.

Post by: Lady_Lust_XXX on 25 June 2012, 09:22:34 am
I don't really think 1000 profiles over the whole of the uk is going to make that much difference.

They usually do a purge on each area periodically and because it is done regularly it just isn't noticed in most areas.

Keep an eye on your own area and you will see what I mean over time.

There's still an incredible amount of fake profiles on AW - I was nosing about there last night while crossing my fingers for a cam client - I'd say that a good 20% of the DirectCam profiles that were logged on last night had fake pics, or were duplicate profiles etc.

Nightmare!  Yes its annoying isn't it when a good client turns into a timewaster (whether or not is their fault!).  I will give the benefit of the doubt to a regular to a certain extent and then it just gets to breaking point and I let them drift away...

If I may say one thing on this thread, my stance is this:

When other ladies are moaning about having little or no work
through no great fault of their own, it does not look good when others
state they are busy busy busy.  Whether intended or not it does
look like boasting with a hint of smugness.

Far better to say nothing if one is doing well when others say they
aren't.

That's what I do.   ;)

I agree; If I were to come onto this thread and tell everyone when I'd had a great day I'd feel I was rubbing peoples noses in it so I keep stumm on thoses occaisions too.

Oh god yeh and the amount that are almost certainly (sadly) trafficked women.  They all have similar names, similar prices (and usually 0 feedbacks) and often the profiles are all set up on the same day too.  I've stopped looking as its just too depressing.

Personally enquiries are down but so are the amount of TWs! Less enquiries but more genuine ones at the moment so that'll do me! I usually only see on average 3 a week though preferring to earn the equivalent at times on cam! We'll see how this week goes but last week was just right.

Well, I been in it since 2007 and I've noticed changes in different locations....but I think it's still slow. I was reading a client forum the other day and an archive from 2001 showed that back then, people actually CHOSE how many clients they wanted to see per day. One girl chose to see only 1 a day. Another 2-4 a day.

These days, you take it as it comes. Where da money at? Give me give me give me!

I've never been the busiest lady in the biz (which is fine with me - quality not quantity) but it is quiet at the moment. It seems that the only new enquiries I'm getting are for days that I'm already booked/have other plans  ::) or are from TWs. The only emails I've had over the last few days have been from the same man with 4 different email addies and names (IP checker is now my best friend 8) )

Well, just a little bit of hope here...I actually had no bookings over the weekend but had a couple clients send in deposits, but one was visiting from elsewhere (regular) and the other out of state.

Almost like walking on air, you know...to have money without actually 'working', but I'm certainly not getting comfortable with it. The need for deposits is arising due to the state of things, and getting them certainly obliges you to take the booking no matter what.

And remember, things may be slow at home but it's not like that when in a new city.

I'm so glad England are out and Euro's almost over as such tournaments really have a negative impact on my business.
I hate offering discounts of any kind, but have recently found a method that really works for me.
I offer an early booking discount of ?20 per hour on condition that:

-The client has positive AW feedback. Actually, this is pretty much a prerequisite to see me anyway.
-The client can arrange the time by phone if they prefer, but I must receive the booking request by 11pm the night before the appointment at the latest.

This doesn't encourage anyone to book me that wouldn't have done so anyway, but it does cut down on guys leaving it until the last minute and me being unavailable. It's soo frustrating to have a totally dead day then have 3 guys ring at once requesting to see me within the next hour and saying "Dam, I knew I should have arranged it last night".

And strangely 2008 was the busiest year I ever had. It was my first year and before the massive influx of new faces from home and abroad. 7 times as many in my area than in 2008.

I am lucky I got started then and built up a good customer base which has stood me well.  I must say I would hate to be starting now. This year is up about 15% on last year and the previous years have been steady.  It goes to show that hard core marketing and being nice to your customers is the name of the game to stay successful.  Plus have a sixth sense for time wasters to keep you sane!!!

After offering specials/discounts few weeks ago...I've come to the conclusion they don't work for me nor drum up extra business.

But it pisses me off when clients seem to think they are entitled to one at any given point. Trying to smuggle in extra services by saying they want a massage knowing damn well they want more than that. You get the discount when you have the chance!

Not all the time. I've bend over backwards for customers, offered services that others either don't do or charge extra for...and I think I should still have more to show for it.

Escorting isn't always a fair market. Seems like you just get what you can when you get it and keep it moving. I can be nice, but my patience is limited when I go into a massage/happy ending appointment and they then want to turn it into fucking and making out. No, it's going to be extra. I don't kiss massage clients. But I'm doubtful whether they'd hire me again whether I went all the way with it or not. But I'm certainly not going to risk doing more on the off chance that'll make em want to book again.

Now last week was the one exception where I did do more with the guy. But he was perfectly my type and I'd be denying myself by not having sex with him LOL.

Totally agree Pandora.  I say in my ads/profiles ................. that  if respect is not shown in the call prior to the booking then I will terminate the call and if I am not shown respect or if anyone tries to push my boundaries during the booking then I will terminate the booking immediately ................. and I do.  No respect = No booking = No refund. Simples.  ;D

Lots of us myself included would be delighted with 2 bookings a day.  I usually average 8-14 clients a week when working fulltime, which suits me just fine for various reasons (including my sanity)

However this week 3.5 hours jeez!

[edit] I guess I sometimes tend to use the word booking to denote a standard length of time - in this case an hour
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Sarita on 01 July 2012, 03:36:25 pm
Surely a good or bad week depends on how long the bookings are, rather than the number that have come through the door?

I wouldn't consider it a good week if I'd seen 10 guys for half an hour each, but if I'd seen 10 guys for 2 hours plus each I'd be very happy!

for some 2 bookings a day i hr would be fine ( but it depends on how much that 1 hr is ) for others  5 bookings a day would be good day 

i tend to look at what i have made at the end of the week not day because  each day can be very different

Cannot beleive this -  had a really awful upsetting day personally; the weather is vile (just tipping it down); the only (blocked) calls I get are from those saved as 'CreepyTwat' and 'ForeignVivaIdiot'  UNTIL around 4.30 pm I get 2 calls in quick succession that I cannot answer because I'm in a taxi  :FF :FF :FF :FF

I try and console myself with the fact that going by the law of averages at least one them would have been a timewaster!

Don't worry, me either! I am the most unwanted prossie on the planet lol!!!!

PM me if you want to swap AW/website details and we'll critique each other - kindly of course!!!!

First booking tonight for WEEKS and WEEKS - three hours of BDSM. Not got a clue how to stretch it out that long but have sat and written some ideas down so I don't just stand there going errrr, ummm!!!! Hopefully I'll swing it ok.

I'm in the "making ?300 a week would be absolutely great for me" category - but I'm not even making ?3 a week. I've given up worrying about it though. They either book me or they don't - I don't think there's much else I can do at this point. Hey ho.

Hope all goes well for your BDSM booking.

Maybe focus on 'the ex', (surely we all have one?) who drove you to distraction, broke your heart, then dumped you! How many times have you wished to tie that egomaniac up and treat him to a little derision? This guy will do... He wants to be punished, you get catharsis.;D
I'm sure I don't need to add that rules must apply, safety first and foremost of course but let it out, make him obey you!

Currently on tour, it's the 5th day in Leeds and it's been absolutely DEAD. I mean, not even one booking! I've been reliably getting bookings almost everyday since the beginning of the year, and this is a total shock! Never had this before! The first two days here in Leeds I had lots of timewster calls (the "whereabouts are yea?" uttered by a thug-like voice types), now even the tw's have gone quiet! WTF's going on?

 lol its very quiet this week  like you last week i was really really busy and was turning them away but this week its like  I'm checking my phone to make sure its actually working and not died  if it wasn't for regular clients it would be a bit of a washout 
I've also had 3 punter net reports in the last week  all are by guys that have written at least 10 other reports so genuine ect but it hasn't  made any difference at all

I had a slight break last week: 2 regular clients and they were 2 hours and then 4 hours. So it atleast kept me from knawing on my nails in nervousness LOL.

However, it's still been dead for my paid ads. So much to the point that I let one of my main ads expire (I paid$ 50 for it last month and didn't get shit locally from it. $50 that could have stayed in my bank account).

Even worse, I just don't even want to part with my money on ads anymore. It's becoming a waste. I'm using free sites...which pay less, but get better results. Massage/half-hours etc. But with the way things are going I refuse to pay for any ads unless I'm going on tour. I know ParisB mentioned in the past about how important it is to advertise, but honestly...it's like it's not working. I don't want to keep throwing money down the drain.

I finally been able to get some work in...and found out the culprit was my advertising! The main site I normally like to advertise on that pays the most is DEAD locally.

So, I been using craigslist again lately and been getting decent clients, although lower than the rates I'd normally charge. However, I've had more money to spend and I didn't even bother renewing the other website although I do plan to soon...just wanted to keep my spending money for the weekend!

The classifieds can be hit or miss, but truth be told...when push comes to shove it has always been the go to place when things get rough and tough and you have nowhere else to turn. Its a CLASSIFIED. Meaning people are going there to buy and pay for things. Unfortunently, the escorts sites seem to turn into 'membership clubs' where the same clients look at the site over and over again. The classifieds tend to broadcast to a much wider audience...I ask some of them and they never even heard of some sites I'm on. and all this time I was thinking something wrong with me or my ads!

It's not really used over here, Kylie although there's pages of fake ads in London for the unwary, apparently. Think Vivastreet or Gumtree, only without the sophistication.

Advertising for us here is a lot easier and cheaper than it is for ladies in the US, partly because we're not breaking the law and partly because there is so much competition between the main sites which tends to keep it reasonable. There just aren't the sites over there and as Blaine has said, the ones there are (with the exception of the likes of Eros) don't have the spread or the exposure that ours do.

I'm just back from Belfast (full of the cold  :( :'( ) and wanted to let anyone know that is thinking of going over that the Ulsterbank problem has still not been sorted out and is having a BIG effect on business over there.   Many guys still arent getting the money that they want and many are having big problems and this is having an affect on business.  Not just for touring girls but also for local workers too.

If anyone thinks this should be in another section please feel free to move it, I just didnt want anyone to waste their money going over.

It is also the times of the Orange Walks (something the English might not understand but if you google 'orange walk belfast' you will still find out.  There will be more police presence which doesnt really affect indies but it does make guys jumpy and there is usually a lot of trouble at this time.  It usually lasts from now till the end of July.

If I can help with any other info I dont mind answering any questions.

I got to (slightly) disagree. The main directories here (think AW, punterlink,punternet, oz, classifieds  etc..) are all located abroad (despite being UK advertising venues) and there's a clear reason for it so maybe what we're doing is legal but what they're doing not so much. The laws are not that different after all. Interestingly enough in the US the main advertising sites (EROS, Backpage, craigslist and TER) are all US based. Go figure.

Advertising sex for sale in the UK is not illegal. If you really want me to split hairs (and if I have any left after tearing most of mine out these last couple of days), what I meant was advertising is more expensive for the people working in the US. than it is generally for those of us working in the UK.

I HATE shelling out for a venue! Turns my 3 hour money into 2 hrs - I should change my name to Max Profit shouldn't I!!! I hate all outgoings.

Oi you know i'm in Chelmsford! lol

This week has been really good for me actually, and a few of my regulars keeping it up. But I really can't do that whole sitting around waiting for bookings it would do my head in.. That's why I prefer advance bookings and don't take last min ones so if I'm out doing something keeping busy I always ask for 1-2 hours notice. Depends on how many clients you like to see though I suppose.

Chelmsford brings back memories  - i bought my dog Hooker  from Chelmsford last year  it was a total spur of the moment thing we didn't leave until 6pm that night and it was a mad dash up the motorway some asshole had dropped some bricks onto the dual carriageway so there was a mad detour of about 50 bloody miles  the place was right out in the sticks  ( back of beyond)  the dog had never been on a bloody lead or even the slightest bit trained,  so it was like having a 12 stone out of control puppy to train 
but he was worth the 7 hr round trip

Maybe it is something to do the weather.  It has been consistant for me so not moaning but then I work solely fromhome so no added costs to take on board.  What one says is quiet can be busy for someone else.  I am expecting it will turn moderately slow from Thursday onwards when the schools kick out.

Advanced bookings for me our dead these days but I'm taking more same day calls now which is helping me tick over but I'd be stuffed if I didn't do my cam work as well! Dreading the summer hols as I will only be able to take advanced bookings so I can get sort child care out, there's no way I'm risking putting the kids into child care "just in case"! I'll do it for a couple of days for my own sanity but will be sticking to advanced one hour appointments and camming in an evening when they're in bed for the next 4.5 weeks whilst they're at home!

Work has slowed down quite a bit recently but I am lucky that I have my regs so I still managed 3 or 4 a day otherwise I would be right up shit creek without a paddle as have the costs of a work flat on top of everything else.  I never find the summer holidays make that much difference as most of my regs tend to be of an age where their kids are all grown up (she says with fingers crossed that she has now not bloody well jinxed herself)

What you have to remember re forums is (apart from the bitchiness from other users) that there is minimum number of users compared to number of guys who use prossies.  You also have to be very careful not to be seen as touting as this is usually one of the rules on prossie/client forums.  Stay safe.

July is always dead for me.  Some years I panic, Some years I try to go with the flow.
And accept how things are. Like when I've done all the realistic
and accessible things to improve volume and it remains static.
A long break this year, which was very nice.
But did I fully switch off?  Nope. Site updates, AW, answering emails, two provisional bookings...
At least that is stuff I enjoy doing and I guess most people who are not an employee
never really let go of business, while on the beach.
Anyway, refreshed which is important.   :)

July is always dead-dead-dead for me so I usually go on holidays. In August business picks up a little bit and it's better. I would say July and February are the slowest months of the year for me business wise. I decided to not go on vacation July this year cause I thought my business would be booming due to the Olympics turist influx.

Hi, I tried AW for the first time today (available today, phone number display, local escorts search) and all day I've not had one single call! 

I wasn't expecting my phone to go off the hook or anything, but I thought I'd get a few calls and maybe one booking..but precisely zilch!?

I'm guessing it isn't but as I haven't tried AW before - is this normal?     

Its also made me think, maybe its the Olympics?

I don't want to sound like I'm gloating....I'm just letting you know how it is for me....

I'm on AW and things are pretty buzzing for me right now.....I've not been able to accept Bookings up until today because I've had the Plumber in to fix my Hot Water (or lack thereof) but I have a Booking for this Afternoon for 2 hours....so we'll see if he turns up.

It could be busy for me because I'm literally 15 minutes away from the Olympic Venue so maybe the people staying around here are wanting to see me....not sure....

Don't forget Sequin to keep updating your Profile (to do this you need to just change a few Words on your Profile) and it will put you at the top of the Search Results....I also find Available Today quite good...but doesn't always make a difference....

Hope that gives a different perspective on things....

Watching the men's final on the TV at the moment.

I am more than happy to offer free, team building support on production of their Olympic passes.  Wow the physiques and strength of these guys and I though the swimmers, divers, (and obviously the lovely Tom) were eye candy.

Does it matter that is quiet when we can watch fine sport? Not in my book.

Watching the men's final on the TV at the moment.

I am more than happy to offer free, team building support on production of their Olympic passes.  Wow the physiques and strength of these guys and I though the swimmers, divers, (and obviously the lovely Tom) were eye candy.

Does it matter that is quiet when we can watch fine sport? Not in my book.

Ha ha.

I'm finding it no different to usual, somedays everyone wants me and I'm turning down bookings, other days are quiet. Usually works out ok in the end.

Don't forget Sequin to keep updating your Profile (to do this you need to just change a few Words on your Profile) and it will put you at the top of the Search Results....I also find Available Today quite good...but doesn't always make a difference....

Hope that gives a different perspective on things....

I have been mega busy this week too I always go on Local Escorts Search I find that works for me and I also bump my profile through the day between appointments.

Well I'm based in Manchester and have good feedback on aw. I think the combination of summer holidays (for schools) and the olympic games has had a big effect on work/calls. Roll on September and things should go back to some sort of normality.

Yes everyone seems to be staying round the Stratford area. Hotels in London are dropping their prices. One near Hyde park went from ?500 to under ?100 for a night. Restaurants in Central London are suffering as everyone who normally go there are staying away thinking it's congested. I've found the roads to be almost empty compared to usual:-D

Yes I agree with this. It is a little busyier maybe but when it's quieter I still manage to see a couple of clients most days and always end up toping up the quieter times with overnights. So it always works out okay.

Could also be because its the first week of the month. Though I suppose it depends where in Essex you are. If you're close to London I guess it could be the reason...

I have been very slow since mid July and now in August it's only going to get worse (for me). Looking back, I have always been slow in late summer season, so I am trying not to freak out. But this is really frustrating. Due to the Olympics all my usual incall places are either booked out or too expensive, and outcall business is pretty much non existant at this time of year ( in London anyway). Therefore I am going away for 2 weeks, and looking forward to September!

For me the summer was CRAP (it always is). I started to get moderately busy right after the end of the Olympics (mid August). By the end of august people started coming back from holidays and I got much busier. September so far has been veeeeeeery busy (to the point that I have to turn down business).

For me the big money making months are September through January, February things come to a halt (holiday time for me). March, April, may, June are decent (but nothing like the the Sep thru Jan gap). Then business literally dies in July and starts to pick up mid August. I go through the same cycle year after year.

To be honest, while I'd like to think its a temporary thing (due to summer/ men going back to work etc)- I think its mainly the economic downturn that is causing the lack of business, and I don't think its likely to change anytime soon.  :-\

I think it is the economy,and the media hype - but people are genuinely struggling to just pay their utilities, run their car and afford child care.

I'm lucky as I only have little old me to support (and once I have tea I need nowt else), but my heart genuinely goes out to anyone trying to support a family as I just would not be able to do it on anything less than ?30-40k a year - it's impossible to have a good standard of living on anything less. It all just adds to my dislike of David Cameron - everytime I see him on the news I just think 'You posh twat, if it wasn't for you and Gideon O.

see i  disagree  i have moved my profile to london with not getting found in london  -   even though I'm not there this until thursday  and i put it in a different area than usual and my phone has rang non stop and if i had been there i could have been working from 8am till midnight by the looks of it 
ok i know that dosnt mean shit but if even a 1/4 of those that rang turnt up then i would have been extremely busy
with london (IMO) you do have to pay to feature yourself which is a pain but i do it all the time now, though even if I'm not touring it cost me around  80 a week which is less than one half hour booking which even if I'm at home its going to pay off


i think  it all depends on what is classed as a good standard of living  for some they won't have anything less than  champagne and prada shoes  and for other tesco and primarks 
friends of mine will moan they are skint and say that i waste money on my 7 dogs but i get a huge amount of pleasure and fun from them ( yes they cost me a small fortune  probably with food and insurance around ?100 a week which i know is excessive however I'm not in debt because of them )
  but they ( my friends ) spend more than what my dogs cost me in ciggies and booze, and they have nothing to show for it -   its all a case of what is a priority to you   and the difference is between me and my friends is that i dont moan about what i spend on my dogs or moan that I'm skint,  but they moan about being skink  but then spend just as much on booze ciggies and going out   
   
i know that there are people struggling but i do wonder how they prioritise things money wise  i.e.  were all so used to having everything we want, that if we dont have the latest phones, pcs  holidays abroad then  we feel poor  but were not really poor in the sense that places like africa and india are poor.   To me poor is living somewhere where you dont have access to  fresh water , and a hot meal each day and medical care

True, we are so lucky to live in a first world country (and I'd forgotten so am thanking my lucky stars, thanks for the reminder!), but it is relative to where you live. With rent, council tax, child care, the cost of 'free' education and of running a car - it's easy to see how some people are just managing to stay afloat, there was an amazing article on being part of the working poverty class (where people's jobs are only managing to cover the basics) I'll see if I can find it.

You do have a long standing reputation as being a good escort who provides what she says she provides, and I think that stands to you - but I've just spent the past half hour sucking on a dildo on webcam to pay to be featured - so with a bit of work hopefully I'll buil up my rep too!x

no and i do agree. however, I have lived in this country on ?10 a week for groceries for two people, and no money to buy so much as a roll of tp let alone go out for a beer. And that hasn't just happened to me once in 9 years, but four times, according to how the job market was doing (I was a temp worker in hospital governance and policy). And not being a citizen in this country, I'm not entitled to public funding so I don't have the cushion of the unemployment insurance I pay into or the dole I pay into. So have to find ways to cover my own ass.

And it is bloody slow for where I am. after august lull when I freaked out to cover my rent and have nothing of value to sell excpet my lap top (all of my possessions can fit into a minivan) it then picked back up and the phone was ringing off the wall. but mon/tues has been very wierdly quiet.

I can't imagine trying to deal with starting my rep over again in this climate. very tough indeed especially when there are a lot of girls doing things ?30 cheaper than me for things just to get some biz.

I hope it perks back up soon...

i just think that people have far higher expectations in this day and age  -   i mean i go out on the weekends with my dogs to the local pubs and bars restaurants  and they are always packed out with people eating and drinking having meals  which is not cheap to do 

  On a recent holiday that i had to Turkey the plane was full up - no empty seats , the hotel that my niece and i were in was full up, no spare rooms,  every one there in the hotel had spent around between  ?1000 - ?1200 each for the holiday plus spending money
 So it amazes sometimes when i read that the  this country is so skint and broke  Most of them were parents with 2 +Kids so had spent around 4-5 k for a two week holiday in the school period   

Im just glad that we do live in the uk where we do get free education, free healthcare, and a more than generous benefit system,  we dont have dictators ( yet) we can call our prime minsters  assholes and  w....kers   and we dont get dragged of by the secret police and murdered  or tortured

With rent, council tax, child care, the cost of 'free' education and of running a car - it's easy to see how some people are just managing to stay afloat, there was an amazing article on being part of the working poverty class (where people's jobs are only managing to cover the basics) I'll see if I can find it.

You do have a long standing reputation as being a good escort who provides what she says she provides, and I think that stands to you - but I've just spent the past half hour sucking on a dildo on webcam to pay to be featured - so with a bit of work hopefully I'll buil up my rep too!x

OK, this is weird, in the space of 10 minutes I got two out call enquiry emails. Shame it was after 10pm (when I stop working) and they were both for asap outcalls

I seem to have stumbled on the way to have your phone ring of the hook.  Be ill.  I've not been feeling too good the last few days and the phone calls and e-mails have just flooded in.  I had 23 missed calls this afternoon when I fell asleep for a couple of hours.

Makes me wish I was working, but I feel as rough as a bears arse, and probably look worse.  And sods law as soon as I feel better the phone will go back to normal.  It's like some sort of punter sixth sense, they only call when you can't answer.

Hopefully things will pick up as there have been some positive reports in the papers about things picking up in the economy, so fingers crossed it trickles down to us.

I do find it a lot busier when I tour, my area is dead and the only reason I do okay is because I am only here about  fifty percent of the time, so my clients are condensed into a smaller time frame.

Paris, I agree it's strange to hear people say they have no money and then next thing you know they're going of on holiday to a nice place with the whole family.  And clients who say they have no money, but go out with their mates clubbing/pubbing every weekend.  I know I'm old and haven't been clubbing or years, but I'm sure it's not gotten any cheaper. 

On the other hand there are people who are genuinely struggling to make ends meet and not just doing the Monty Python 'we were so poor' thing.  (Really showing my age now).

feeling poor /rich I think its all relative to  where you live / who you socialise with and who are your peers  /family to a certain extent  if you earn 20k but your neighbours /family /peers earn 45-  60 k then you will feel poor to them ,  but then often these people that earn 45 -60k  over extend themselves to the point that they aren't any richer /better of than the person who earns 20k because there outgoings are so high  i.e.huge  mortgage , car finance school fees or nursery cost or the lost of one income as one parent has to stay at home and look after the kids  so although they earn well and have a high income,  they dont often have any more money to spend than the person that earns 20k   

I mean 45 -50k is a good wage for anyone to earn  even in london (imo) however  when they are bemoaning the fact that they no longer get child benefit /tax credits as they did last year and because of this they may lose there house i do wonder wtf the world is coming to when someone on  45 - 50k gets benefits stretches  themselves financially  that far that they can't manage when they loose 100 a month in child benefit

I have a friend who is an investment banker, he earns ?150,000 a year + bonus, and when I once mentioned that ?50k is a good salary, he looked shocked, and said he wouldn't survive on ?50k...
How do I survive in London on my no-where-near-50k-wage ?

Anyway... Back to the subject- September hasn't been as busy as i'd expected. I went on a 2week holiday, just at the end of August, and I felt kind of guilty for doing so, and 'loosing business', but when I came back and discovered how slow everything still is (in London), I wish I had stayed in the sun for longer...

Most probably the guy has a family, kids in private school, a shopaholic wife, nannie, a couple of cars and a summer house, a big mortage and tends to vacation in the bahamas. Of course the "poor" guy cannot survive with 15,000 plus bonus! I hope they tax the hell out of him ha-ha! ;D

yes. that's why I just decided on my work hours, and stuck to them. 12 - 8. that's it. I stay at home, semi-dressed, same day appointments, doing stuff I need to do. My mornings are for me. I run at 10am. I take bookings starting at 8am. I take as many bookings as I can and then see who actually turns up. if/when I get to 4 shows, I call and cancel any others and end my day. I have learned that for me, this is the best way to work as I have a steady schedual, less stress, and when I talked to my doc about my stress levels he told me I had to get some solid routine into my work hours or it was going to burn me out and screw my sleep.

so I just don't vary. I take two days off a week, work 12-8 and some days I get to knock off early.

better than an office job. that's for sure.

YES!  Exactly that has happened to me twice, my gym is a 5 min walk away. First time it happened I was really p****d off
so went back to the gym and the receptionist laughed and asked if she was seeing things. I gave her some excuse why I
had to dash off the first time.

We had a similar problem earlier, a guy messaged around 5pm wanting to see us around 8, then didn't reply to us until 7.15 to say he did want to meet (despite reading our message at 5.30!) but we'd had another person book in by then so turned him down. Clients are like buses sometimes!

I'm getting requests for times that I don't work but that's about it at the moment, typical! But I've got the painters in so the phone is switched off right now. I may turn it on and see if I can some advance bookings but they are far and few between these days! Saying that though I've got a dinner date this weekend and had a request from a couple for 3 weeks time, guessing the latter will be a TW though so not expecting it to go through!  ::)

In the last couple of weeks I think the credit crunch is really hitting business.  Lots of punters are asking for deals due to the credit crunch.  Are other ladies finding this? 

As I have diversified on to other sites, and the fall off from AW has been replaced by Punterlink and my new website. I still have more or less the same number of jobs, (about 8 -12 a week) but I am working much harder to get them.  A blip or a trend?

I haven't reduced my rates, have any other ladies and if so has it increased business?

Yes it's even affecting the rich business as I keep in contact with one over a year now.

I was slightly more expensive than the rest of the gals in my area. I did quite well. I've now had to drop my rate as every one has dropped theirs. I offer mid-week mid-day specials for the slowest times on an hour as most people want 30 min for lunch.
Seems to have helped but I'll see how things are this pay day weekend.

I wouldn't say it's the recession as the main course for it being so deathly quiet, family finances have taken a number of hits over the past few years. Escorting will never die out, and (without sounding too bitchy) this dry spell will weedle out the less professional, shall I say, of the escorts.

Yes, there is that more escorts (who do it purely for money so charge minimally), and less clients to go round. Like I've said and without sounding bitchy, hopefully this quiet patch will discourage some from continuing.

Well there's the single unmarried ex-housemaid in Downton? Maybe that's having an effect  ;D

But yeah I accept that the majority of my clients are either single men who don't want the BS of a relationship and can afford to see someone once every few months or those who like a once in a while treat. I've only ever done a small handful of rich clients dates, and they were quite dull in comparison.

I do not buy lingerie from there it is crappy, but stockings are good. :)  But you are right primark is excellent also debenhams stuff last for years.

to be honest, because of the stress and stigma, especially of having to lie all the time to people or face the masses of bullshit that we have to if we are out of the whore closet, I highly doubt most people do it out of curiousity. All of the girls I know that do it (and I know quite a few in my personal friendship circle) it's because they just can't cope with the working environment they are in and/or faced with a crap financial situation. The ones that stay in it are the ones that have the constitution for it.

I'll be honest, I prefer to work to most of the jobs I've ever done simply because of the autonomy and half decent pay. I like meeting lots of new people and I know I'm good at it helps.

But I couldn't do it for the rest of my life simply because I couldn't take being closeted to most people. I don't do well with closets. I'm shit at them and it feels incredibly icky to lie to people about what I do and who I am. That's why I couldn't be closeted as a gayer and couldn't be closeted when I had more than one partner. Some people do ok with it. I just can't. I don't think there's anything wrong with what I do. And tbh I don't think there's anything wrong with men or women seeing a prozzie if they need to have sex and don't want any bullshit.

I'm not in it for the long run and I am just doing it for money. I don't feel one way or another about it. I feel about it just like I did when I did vet nursing. Not my dream job, but it has pluses. lots of gross things, but it's part of the work.

When asked by people if I don't find certain aspects distasteful, I say well yes of course. But so did the picking up dogshit part of vet nursing. *shrug*

If girls lower their prices to do what they think they need to do, that's up to them. The people who want something different will go else where. But the economy is in the toilet. My prices are ?30 an hour less than when I started. I would rather a couple of people more a week than miss out completely because no one can afford it anymore. I haven't dropped my domme prices at all. I almost never get asked for Domming anymore because my prices are higher - except for those who want scat. And I don't want to do the clean up for that.

It was very quiet this month for a payday friday. I still got what I needed, but the phone rang a lot less. A LOT less. I'd personally rather keep to the price of my area and knock off ?10 again if I have to than have far fewer calls. If I was able to live with much less overhead, like in a studio, I would have done so. But I can't.

I am going to miss the freedom of escorting when I have to go strictly to camera work.

Hi Ladies,

I started advertising on AW about four weeks ago and had my first client on my first week. Since then - nothing. I get one email per week and they are all timewaisters. Is it really so quiet? What is it - the time of the year, the recession or just me? I do feel a bit paranoid and quite low I have to admitt. Well, its not that I expected crowds of guys fighting for my time but, to be honest, I didn't expect to be totally ingored either.  It does sucks. :FF

Hello,

Depends on how you work really - I mostly offer outcalls so it's quite slow, but when I do offer incalls I just pop my number up and get loads of calls, and a girl I know only works that way and she's busy on the days she wants to be busy on.

Also take into consideration your location, pricing etc....and having a good profile with good pictures is important.

Best of luck xx

Hi anushka, I am new on AW as well. Think I signed up in Aug and things are just picking up nicely now.

Try adding new pics, including your phone number or featuring yourself on the 'local escort' search. I found all this helped as well as getting a few positive reviews - this takes time though as not all guys do this.

As Little Miss suggested make sure your pricing is reasonable for your area. I had to lower mine after a few weeks as i realised I was approx ?30 quid higher than most. I just had to make the decision and it's worked out fine and im now comfortable charging less as I have seen more clients. Just PM me if you need any other advice - im no expert but happy to share my experience and hopefully help you get up and running.

The thing is and I'm not meaning to sound bitchy here either but every month someone is saying there must be a reason for it being so quiet, it's the recession, it's the summer holidays, it's too hot everyone's out with their with their kids ect, then it's because it's a bank holiday or it's been raining I mean there seems to be new reasons invented every month I mean come on lol!

It all boils down to what you class as busy, luckily I've found a day job to keep the bills paid. I'm not too fussed about it being quiet for me, I'm still getting the work in, I guess it's just a lot less enquiries that materialise to nothing.

I meant not just calls genuine bookings wise it has been very good lately but your right I only like to see a handful or so of clients a week anyway. There are times when it's quite slow for me too but I think thats to do with the fact I'm just not someones type or they want someone cheaper not all these other reasons it just get a little silly in my opinion.

Here in the U.S., business is dead in all of my travel rotation cities. Can't get much going it's so ridiculous. I am blaming it on the fact of gas STILL being $3.50+ everywhere. It's been that way all year long with gas not dipping below $3 and I think overtime it's just slowly eating away and people's pockets/confidence.

I feel even worse because I've planned 2 tours already and cancelled them both. One of which was to be taking place this week, but I do have another next week already airfare/hotel payed for by client. I just can't afford to travel out places with only 1 or 2 clients asking to book. And if I'm not getting several advanced requests, I just won't take the risk of going.

I don't know though if gas has anything to do with it though. It's hard to tell. Part of it is I've lived and visited the same areas for months/years. Things are drying out. Next month, I plan to go ahead and do a BIG tour across the country and really get the ball rolling. Although, if I knew where to travel abroad I'd do that too.

At the time being, I'm thankful to high heavens I received a hefty inheritance last month...but I'm also paranoid about spending thru too much of it and once I get to a certain dollar amount, which I'm already nearing...I'm starting to strategize ways to make more money as I want it to last atleast to the beginning of next year, and in fact save it completely and have a saftey net. Not just spend it on bills and stuff because escorting is not picking up  :FF

Some ladies class busy as 7-10 clients per day and at one time this is the amount of bookings most ladies could obtain per day, and the level of business and income they were used to seeing. Even I remember the tail end of those times even if I didn't want to accept anywhere near that amount of bookings per day, I was still absolutely inundated each and every day. I actually found it very stressful, guys weren't happy because they couldn't get an appointment and would get stroppy. I also had to have a lot of time off during my first few years, so I've not seen a drop in income and clients if anything my income has increased because I no longer need that time off and apart from the occasional holiday can be available most of the time. The ladies who were around during the boom, when they mention the amounts they took each day, well it's mind boggling and I can quite understand why the current environment would be considered quiet and slow.

From what other ladies say it's also a very difficult and competitive time to be a newbie, those who have been in the biz longer are surviving are mostly doing ok(such as yourself for instance). It's taking longer for those new to the business to build up their businesses whereas in the past it wasn't quite so difficult to break into.

Ouch! Some ladies might live in the wrong area where clients do rely on their monthly salary more than others.  Some men do actually like to spend the hot days out with their children and families. Some ladies might prefer not to drop their rates or offer specials in which case certain clients can only afford to see them once a month now instead of twice.

There are various reasons why some are doing ok and others are flush with money. 

There are patterns with regards to client visits and I have actually started taking note of them so that the days that I know I will only have one visit instead of the 3 I arrange my day around.  Majority of the ladies are also single parents so not able to be available 24/7 but just between 9 - 2pm there are so many factors that can be taken into account.  Nobody is making excuses for them being not so busy but just wondering what the reasoning around it could be.

It's okay for me at the moment but then I only see 3-4 men each week (my average is actually going up!), what I have noticed though is the quality of the bookings, I would say around here people are just being more sensible with money. When I say quality I don't mean I'm inundated by good looking sex gods or anything like that, but I mean the longer appointments with people who are looking for a connection, real FFM bookings and couples booking me. This is only recent and each time this type of booking comes through I'm waiting for it to turn into a TW, but they aren't, touch wood! I've just jinxed myself now! LOL!

Post by: ParisB on 10 October 2012, 03:54:46 pm
its not always about where you live /work from   i see it as how many regulars you have coming back to see you more so than new ones   
i have just left an area where i normally do   900- 1200 euros a day so maybe anything from 5 -10 clients a day depending on prices  without batting an eyelid  and have done this amount consistently for the past 4 years whenever i visit  its probably the best place that i visit and i have loads of regular clients

i was there for a week this time and another escort who i bumped into in the hotel so we started chatting to each other 
we both said how quite it was and i mean it was dead i.e. checking phone to make sure that they had a signal and working dead

 ( i was thinking it was me  doing something wrong ect but no she was just as quite as me and we are both well reviewed , well known escorts who know our job  )  we both agreed it was nice to know that it wasnt just one of us that was quite it was both of us
 
I mean this is an area where  you cant sit down , cigarettes are always half smoken, and you eat when you can,   its normally that busy all the time but this time we both had time to chat, have a bit of a laugh ect even go out to the shops as well  which is something  in this  place you rarely cant do Its that busy,   

also it was her first time there so she should have been rocking and rolling and it wasnt until the last day for her ( and i left early as well ) that our phone were going back to normal and ringing loads but by that time i had had enough and left
we even dropped our price to 150 euros to see if that made a difference but it didn't   If i hadn't of had my regulars there i would have had a really crap time

I guess what I'm trying to say is there is no rhyme or reason to this business any more  you take what you can when you can and hope it continues and keep your regulars coming back  for more

I really want to take oral without off my likes list, as I'm super uncomfortable with it - but seeing as though it's so slow now, I'm afraid that if I do all my work will dry up completely.

I don't think it's my profile (lots of lovely feedback, and a few field reports), it's not my prices (?20 lower than the last time I offered incalls)...it's just really f*cking quiet.

I remember when was featured last year and showing avalible today recently that some times it does well. But the majority getting the idiots.  So now showing avalible for phone chat on aw attracts the sain ones and advertising on a different site does well most of the time.

I can still get my three a day but the phone doesn't ring NEAR as often, I get far more time wasters and people are booking for shorter amounts of time.

my rates as very reasonable for my area. I offer specials as well.

I talk to clients who are self employed and they are suffering - the landscapers, personal trainers, IT specialists and builders. all have said "it's quiet. not a lot of biz"

Today was really, really quiet. when I started 7 months ago, I was doing very well with no problem starting out after I worked out a proper booking system. it has slowly gotten more quiet over time and with more TW.

I do think it's the economy and I'm in an area where there is low unemployment compared to the rest of the country! And I think those who have been in it longer have the benefit of more regulars to count on.

I would agree with a lot of the comments on here. I just started working again six weeks ago after having a break for the best part of a year (apart from seeing a few regulars) and noticed a big difference. I've had hardly any 'normal' jobs but quite a lot of overnights instead.
There were times while on tour with another WG recently that I thought my phone was broken because it was so quiet, and other times when it rang non stop. The funny thing was that neither of us were really busy at the same time, she had busier mornings and I had busier nights, even though we had advertised at the same time in the same places. So there really is no rhyme or reason to it.
I guess we just have to accept that sometimes we will be busy and sometimes we won't and just hope for the best that these times coincide with when we actually want to be busy or quiet.

Well if you think about it, September is a rather busy month. People are just back from summer holidays, kids are returning to school, school fees, books, and clothing have to be purchased. It is also the beginning of fall, focus starts to shift to Christmas. And the blasted retail shops don't help with the setting up of Christmas decorations earlier and earlier every year. Then of course you have the part time hos who pop out the wood work to make a bit of cash before Christmas to buy presents for their children. Is it any wonder it is quiet?

It's strange how this business works...nowadays.

I don't get much bookings here at home, and even touring this year has just been so up in the air. I tend to cancel tours twice before actually going now simply because sometimes it just doesn't look so good to go. This week already had a cancellation for a 2 hr appt in which I cancelled. Now I'm getting all requests for massage, and that's simply not enough money to go across states for.

However last week, I had someone book me for an evening dinner 1 day prior to a client flying me out for a 2 night appt. I ended up missing my flight because I didn't have time to pack that evening as I was with client LOL. Eventually I got on the next flight and met other client. But I'm like, why is it that people have to book a LONG appointment right before an overnight?

Happened twice already this year.

I've never known it so dead as the past few weeks; currently on tour and its like a freaking graveyard.  My one prebooking at my current tourstop cancalled, it wouldn't surprise me if I made a heavy loss here.

To add insult to injury I hadn't realised there was no lift and had to lug my considerable amount of luggage up 3 flights of stairs, the bed was the most uncomfortable I've ever slept on, and built for someone certainly under 5.7.  So hardly any sleep and aching all over today.

Oh yes and today my dongle decided to stop working so can only access all those naughty sites on my phone.

Good Lord...same thing here! On tour, it's quiet, regular client of mine I see every trip had cancelled last night almost 1/2 hour after booking. People can't seem to get their schedules together.

I ended up taking the weekend off for fun time. Went to the indoor amusement park with hot man, had dinner, he fucked my brains out when we got home. Lovely time...but not enough work to keep paying for these hotels :-(

It's making me question whether or not I should move forward with my next tour which is coming up 1 week from today. I can't afford to tank again. My inheritance money is being put on the line with this, and I wanted that to see me thru  til the end of the year and I'm already down to my last several hundred  :P

Well, based on previous years...I doubt that Christmas is that big of a deal for many, even this early. December can be pretty good, but here in America we also have Thanksgiving holiday in 20 days. It's like Christmas without the presents. Airfares are going to be thru the roof until after New Years...

Hi girls i dont know if is me but some how is less work for myself and always when i get a call most of times are  timewasters.
I always tell how i looklike and put pics showing how i look but some how they dont read and expect to meet a model wtf.
If i as a model i would charge alot im just a normal person.
Im finding alot of clients rude and not serious from aw and because i do car meets they like never bring rigth of amout of cash so for that im thinking to stop car meets.
Im working now to save money to change my life but find hard with new clients as everyday is a new timewaster.
Does anyone knows about free sites like aw but serious ones as im getting fedup from there and really thinking serious to join a agency as like this i will not go no where and is stressing me alot

I hope you know that lots of escorts will not do car meets - most of the people on AW who say they do just ticked every box to appear in more search results.

The reasons are simple. As well as usually being rather uncomfortable, you don't know where you will end up. You don't even know if it's their car and there may be no way that they can be traced. So it can be like street work, but without even their safety angle of having other workers seeing you get into the car...

What rubbish - do you also think the higher the fee, the better the service must be? Because if so, I suggest you have a browse through some negative FRs. There is no correlation whatsoever.

So now I know where the client is coming from when he says low escort rates equal a rubbish service if low cost. It might be true for some but can not speak for every one. As it's not fair. Some escorts are just a plain greedy gold diggers simple who thinks their almighty. And what is a low rate to others might not be the case for the individual offering. This is just a sad old judging stigma of society that doesn't impress me. It's a shame that some have forgotten the real value of life importance.

I rest my case.

Amy I am 100% sure that is not what was meant!   Just that these dime a dozens who pop up run a quickie services one in one out so clients do not exactly get what they want.

My rates are not high but they are also most certainly not that low and I can assure you at the end of the day no matter what the rates are it is down to the individual. 

Just an observation but you come across as very confrontational from time to time.

I don't usually complain, but it's not just slow, it's fooked.

I don't see many clients at all anyway, but my level of enquiries has fallen off a cliff, I don't even get TWs these days. And also as a camgirl, I can no longer enjoy the freedom of offering "Group or Private" only, I HAVE to sit in Freeview if I want to earn money, and that might mean having to sit there *ready* for 12 hours a day and be lucky to earn ?20.

On AW I've played with many of the Featured options, and while a year ago they may have paid for themselves, this year it's not even pushing views up significantly, AND not getting anyone paying for my private galleries or movies.

me too, way down from usual, also getting more TW than I can ever remember having before, I had 3 genuine bookings yesterday but finding clients that arnt TW, sound like twats on the phone or hagglers has become a nightmare recently  :FF

I also took a lot of pics for my PVTG with the same camera and programme I have used before loads of times, pics are the same size as ones I have submitted to AW before but it wouldnt upload them as AW said they were too small! So theres my idea for getting a bit of business back out the window....

A girl i know who uses only AW, very pretty, young, fit, profile less than a month old, shes told me shes getting minimum 2 bookings every day!
I stopped using it a while ago, all the emails was driving me crazy from mostly time wasters.

2 bookings a day!  I've only been indie for 4 months and can count on 2 hands how many bookings I've had from AW in that time.  Where am I going wrong I wonder?



I doubt you are Dexi - firstly we are assuming that the girl Lou19 spoke to isn't talking out of her arse, plus
The girl in question has LODS of consistently recent feedback so I would highly doubt she is talking out of her arse. I only advertise on aw at the moment an on average get around 5-8 bookings a week from it but that's all I want anyway. I could take more bookings but choose not to and end up turning people away quite often.

Kylie, the post you have quoted is over a year old and the member referred to hasn't been active on the forum for almost as long; are you sure you've got the right thread?

I worked from 11am till 3pm on Friday (for the first time in 6 months) and had...4 half hour bookings. Best day i've had in the longest while.

Though i have put the price of my hourly sessions down considerably, the number of clients wanting hour long sessions was rare...the price of my half hour is 75% of my hour rate.

Hi, am new to the website but just wanted to mention that it has been really dead for me, too - over the past 2-3 weeks. It's like all the men have vanished off the planet, or have all lost their mojo at the same time.  I understand that recession and Christmas coming up are partly responsible, but this is ridiculous.  I am nearly tempted to dish out ?400 for a photo shoot ...money which I don't have.... but wondering if I shall be kicking myself later when I realise it has made no difference.

On the other hand I think that, there's something wrong with me and men just don't like my pics, all of a sudden. Even though I switch them round and update them I still get a pathetic level of interest.

Granted, I am not the most glamorous woman out there, I'm older and I'm not a size 10, so I guess all the skinny 20 somethings are getting all the jobs.  I don't know - I try and try and promote myself - sometimes spending up to 4 hours a day if not more - but it makes no difference. Compared to the amount of bookings I was getting up to a couple of months ago, this is pitiful.

Let's hope things get better in the New Year (by which time I'll be broke - luckily I don't have to buy xmas presents for anyone or I'd be really up shit creek).

Hi- I am 21 and size 8-10 and I have good feedback etc on aw and I have my own site that is on first page for google in reading, I have been ridiculously quiet these past few months- with the odd few day from regulars making it a Rothschild day. Today I am in Cardiff and I am going home cancelled my room for tomorrow because I have only had 1 hour booking at ?130 and 2x half hour bookings so I have only covered my room and fuel really. I'm still getting about 3-4 a day but these are mixed in with half hour appointments. Up until September I was doing about 600 quid plus a day. Lucky I've saved it! But I have a 2 and a half year old and also need money for Xmas pressies.

Yep, it's definitely pretty sucky lately. Thanks for your input, at least it's made me feel it's not specifically an age/size thing. I just wish I could stop thinking I need to be doing something, or changing something.  The enquiries are trickling in so s-l-o-w-l-y...  and had two TW's yesterday which is unusual for me.  I keep thinking my website needs a revamp but even though I keep fiddling with it, it makes no freaking difference.  I get a quite a large amount of hits -- but out of all those, NADA. As for AW, it's like a cemetery over there. I don't even get any replies back on RB's which is also unusual. Don't know what's going on.

I think that there are too many women around and i only offer a gfe, like so many others.
Also my rates aren't expensive- i have put them down since i first started from ?150 to ?130 for an hour.
But it seems to me there are a lot of people wanting a standard half hour booking, and I am not really getting longer bookings like i used to! I am not turning down work like i used to- i used to have constant phone calls.
Reading has always been known for being busy but now we have 6 pages of girls mainly all offering incalls and prices are as low as ?59 per hour all in including A levels, I cannot compete with that because I have bigger overheads and to be honest I think me personally would lack the motivation to work for ?59 an hour.
I think if we hang on in there, then after Xmas other girls will get fed up and quit because there isn't room for all of us.
I have booked a photo session with carlyg so i am hoping that this will give me a boost for the new year!!

How strange it is from going to a reasonable amount of business to dead quietness today. Apart from a few calls inquiring about later. The funniest though is when a client asked what will I do for 20 pound. I sure was thinking after about just how bad this recession is getting. Or maybe the run up to Christmas. My fingers are crossed for 2013 hopefully will be a better year.

I wouldnt bank on it being that much busier after Christmas. 

Ive said it before and Ill say it again and the others will be sick of me saying it but in Scotland there are FOUR TIMES AS MANY GIRLS NOW as there was 3 years ago and the number HASNT gone down.  I dont expect it to be much different in other areas of the UK either.

Many of the girls who are working now are working because they cant get another job so they may just try and get something PT and do escorting PT, so if you are looking for the megabucks coming up again, then dont hold your breath. 

If anyone has the chance to save just now it is advised so that they can survive when things get really quiet in February.  :(

If it's anything like the last couple of years, the number of ladies will either stay the same or go UP after Xmas as the bills and credit card statements start coming in. There'll be even more cammers and phone chatters too, as the ladies who can't/won't escort will join for an "easy quick buck" (ha!).

I have to say, *touch wood* my mysterious dry spell after the Summer/early Autumn has cleared up and I'm chugging along as before. Of course there's quiet days, and extra busy days, but as long as the overall month's earnings is what I need/want/comparable to last month/year (however I'm judging my earnings that day/month) then I'm not going to worry.

Edited to add - plus I judge how successful my business is by the overall YEARLY takings and comparing to previous years. Month by month can be too variable to judge accurately.

Well I plan on penny pinching and budgeting over the next few months anyway as I am no longer touring either but fingers crossed.

Yeah, you used to be able to depend on megabucks when you toured but Ive heard girls say that touring isnt what is used to be either. 

My way of looking at it is, if I cant make 3 times or thereabouts of what I would be earning at home then I dont want to go to all the bother of touring.  If Im only gonna make the same at the end of the day then I am happy having some ME time for myself.

I actually had a good day today- so its werid how it pans out!
Got a decent day tomorrow too which has paid off for Cardiff's disaster, at least i managed to get a refund for the 2nd night. I didn't even get a phone call from anybody in Cardiff even though it stated I was on tour there! (presumed some clients would have seen my profile and saved my number until the day!)

I don't webcam or do phonechat- think I would be useless at it lol.
Going to do London (Edgeware road) next week and a shot at Bristol and see where that gets me. My limited availibility in Reading seems to be helping- however I find myself having to update my profile constantly to keep me on the first page, because there are so many girls here!!

I share my work flat with another girl and of late she has been struggling to get an hour a day!! She's 34 slim attractive with a good reputation but even her regulars arent coming right now.  touch wood my phone has still been ringing, I don't know how I would cope without anything. No one likes digging into savings. xx

Here we go, good example of people trying to get money for Xmas...over 600 cammers online at one point this evening. That's twice as much as the same time last week. Their earnings will hit the bank just before Xmas. I fully expect this to be the same, or at least half as much again, in late Jan/early Feb.

I find this really odd, is it just me, or is no one else not really in need ie: loads of extra money for Xmas? I will likely buy a present for 4 people at the most (2 sisters, mum and boyfriend, lol), and dont plan on it costing me more than ?200, which I could earn in a day. And maybe an extra ?100 for taxis and to get a bit of booze in. I suppose if you have children it may be different though.

Wonder how many cam viewers there were online? I havnt been camming lately, as I imagine its dead as a doornail

We live in a material age, parents (generalising, not all) throw money/goods at children to show how much they love them. If they can't get the latest whatever, whatever and whatever, little Johnny will think his parents don't love him (or so they think)...or if they can't get the latest whatever, whatever and whatever, then they're failing as parents.

This is why people get temp jobs, sell/pawn jewellery, turn to escorting at Xmas. They can be frugal all year, but getting into debt or splashing out at Xmas is one luxury many people allow themselves.

Two guys want me on the same day that I don't usually work.  :FF

Saw a guy a while ago who wants to haggle on price, and won't just take a shorter session... ::)

Another guy wants to pay me a 2 hour rate for a 3 hour session, the thing is last time I was paid for an hour and a half and in and out within 15. I've said no to the reduced fee, but now wondering if I should have gone for it. I don't give cash back by the way! :D

Four Presents, I wish ............................... no I dont, I wouldnt change my family for anything.  :D  They are my world.

I have four children; their 4 partners/husbands; 4 grandchildren; Sister. 

Im lucky I started early this year and I have most of mine in.  I dont think there will be many that only have four people to buy for though. 


Edit :  Sorry I derailed thread.  Maybe should be moved for a place of its own.  Up to you Amy.  I was just so shocked someone just had four presents to buy.


Back on topic please.  Apologies again.

Off topic again: I have no one to buy presents for :(  Well at least I get to save money that way.

Re: slow/quiet, things have really picked up for me since yesterday afternoon, my email/phone's been choc-a-block with enquiries and I have so many booking requests for next 2 wks I'm struggling to fit them all in ... must be for the fact that by then they'll have been paid and are not wasting any time in buying themselves a nice treat:)  Hope it stays fairly busy cos I'm down to my last pennies here.

Post by: Lady_Lust_XXX on 25 November 2012, 09:44:50 am
Yes Melissa, you will find a significant difference from 28th of the month for about two weeks most months.  The week on the run up to the 28th is usually dire.  :(

Good to see you have a lot of bookings to sort out, fingers crossed all goes well with them but remember not to take any crap from them if they start to mess you about.  Forget about losing such and such an amount for if they are disrespectful on the phone or try messing you about on the phone they will do the same during a booking thats if they actually show.  Stand by your spidey senses if you think one is a TW for they usually are when they give you this vibe. 

All the best with your bookings.

As a little addendum, please make sure if you can (by voice recognition) that callers are legit and not another WG in your area setting you up so that you will refuse other bookings.  This happens a lot when a girl feels threatened by a newbie.  They will give their bookings a discount if they phone up another girl to make a booking.  Then not show.   :(
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Kara on 25 November 2012, 11:24:46 am
Hi Lady_Lust_XXX, thanks for your advice.  I already knew that there was a huge difference between end of month/pay day but I've never seen such a dramatic change practically overnight.

Thanks for your input re: TW's, I'm not a newbie so trust me I don't take any crap from anyone, oh no. Quite the opposite.  I know the ins and outs pretty well by now, and as a result have had nothing but absolutely darling, polite, professional, nice guys from the time I started - I've been escorting on and off since 20 years ago!

Haven't had a single dodgy or rude guy, and I thank my lucky stars for that. Haven't had a single no-show either (although expecting one will happen eventually). Must be a certain vibe I give out - that I don't take any shit ! ha ha

I'm pretty confident about my upcoming bookings, it's very unusual that guys pull out, maybe 1 out of 10, I don't get cancellations or people messing me about.

I have a huge, enormous TW spidey sense, so they don't get anywhere with me, I stop them dead in their tracks before they know even what's hit them.

Thanks again for your advice ! :)

Hope business looking good for you too :)

Apologies for rambling and going off-topic !!

Payday where I am can be 28th of month or 1st of the month depending which day of the week these fall on.  This is the big companies.  Smaller companies can vary.  But the week before payday is usually dire.  Anything from 22nd of month to 27th.

Had two who wanted the same day and time, one didn't reply to me asking him to confirm, despite him being the first to contact have accepted the second booking and looking forward to it.

I haven't worked in two months, through choice and don't have my phone number displayed. It feels a little like starting all over again knowing I am meeting someone on thursday  ;D

Turned down work til then as I'm like a bear, haven't seen a beautician since end of October, and I'm fucked if I'm letting clients seeing me look like Hairy McClairy lol

From next week I'll display my phone number again, you do get a lot more hits IME...

It's really odd for me at the moment, the phone is pretty silent other than a few TWs which seem to have stemmed from a new advert on a site I've never used before and will not be using again! I only see 3 guys a week on average and have been planning on returning to camming big time on the lead up to Xmas for extra money but I'm getting more 1.5 hour appointments and FFM appointments and getting more regular regulars! Not complaining at all! If it wasn't for these though I'd be absolutely dead! I think I'm finally at the place I've been aiming for since I started! Until the New Year at least! LOL! But saying that since I rejoined the daily pay group camming has helped boost appointments and I'm earning a steady stream of income from just a couple of hours in an afternoon.

Yes November has been slow as far as new customers are concerned if it wasn't for several regulars booking weekly i'd be struggling a bit. I have noticed pics on adultwork have done well and webcamming too, but yes struggling to get new customers.

It's even more concerning to think about 2013 when it's quiet like this. I notice my takings this year has been less than last year. Maybe this is a sign to move on to bigger and better things. I just saw on the tv, how the recession is affecting Northern Ireland badly. This sure is a red warning sign. Not only that but a client this morning told me that most here are ignorant compared to England. After I said that many who phone seem very rude, maybe it's just the punters. As haven't really had a chance to mix with the community outside of this. I kept being indecisive, but now after every idiot I get which happens more frequent. Compared to when was escorting in England. Makes my mind up for sure. Only a few more months left.

Busy as ever in the South West (Devon) had so many Thurs had to turn them away did 7 and that was the max I would do in a day ..... I don't work Fridays and my phone was ringing off the hook ... today quieter but its quite clear on AW I do not work Fri's Sat's or Sun's so those phone calls are coming from other adverts.

I don't find it any different, week to week changes, some days quieter than others but when you even it out its all the same earnings - I would never drop my prices as I do not think that is the issue at all.

Give it a trail for a few days offering incalls, you might surprise yourself. All you need to do is keep wary because in my experience the need for incalls is a lot higher. But be careful of the idiots who will try to get a freebie.

The problem is that Abz is saturated with girls at the moment, hence why I have not ventured up for months.   I am going back to Abz in January and see how things go then strange that it is quiet as it is end of the month and weekends tend to be crazy up there.

Kim, you will learn through time and with experience that two days, never mind two weeks are ever the same.

I think paying your bills is more important than a night out so I cant say you did the wrong thing.  You have to think of your family and their welfare before you think of your own social life.

I would not bank on loads of business now for quite a number of weeks.  For some, January can be fairly busy, but not for all, but February is usually dire right across the board.  You may get the odd exception to the rule but not many.  So I would suggest saving all that you can over the coming months so that you can fall back on your savings when required, especially as you probably still have a fair amount to pay towards that upcoming wedding.

 I, and many other longer established WGs organise one of our holidays during February when we know we wont be losing as much as we normally would in other months.

im off out for first time sat night :D i can not wait... but im skint! iv spent wayyy too much on bills this weekend. So i was hoping id be quiet busy this week like i was last.. but not one booking so far!  :FF :FF looks like i wont be going out if i dont get any :(

Tempting business fate or planning never works for me, I just carry on living not worrying to much about it. When business comes my way good news. Worrying doesn't do our brains any good, things will pick up when you least expect it. I always prioritize things, like was just browsing Ann Summers. But after reading what Lady Lust wrote. Is making me think differently now planning to put my money towards the rent instead. Even though it isn't due until January 2013. I always like to keep ahead with the rent so if business isn't good, I've always got the time to make up the money.

That is a good way to look at it, will have to think like that. I believe it'll help me loads not to spend. Although my spending habits used to be terrible last year. Now I spend less (Budgeting) profiting more. I even started doing my own ironing after a year to save money :)

Going back to basic living seems a way forward especially during quieter times. I was thinking earlier this afternoon about all the priceless things to do. Like have a walk around Botanic Park, is far better than being stuck in doors.

I put 10 pounds of every client into my piggy bank, small change goes into my daughters piggy bank, I save all my money till the end of the week, pay my bills and what is left gets used for groceries, electric, gas, lunch money and cab fares.  What is left after that gets split and one half goes into a savings account the other we use for whatever we want whether it be clothes, toys or a treat.

I think the nature of the beast is that at the beginning when we start prossying we think every week is going to be like a good week and because we are new we do get more work in.  Sadly this isnt always the case as the newbies will find out in the next few months.

We must learn to save for the months when work is thin on the ground and it seems to be starting earlier this year for some and usually goes on until end of February.  Here is hoping im wrong.

Yeah your popularity usually lasts on AW for a year or two (two if you are lucky), that is why I usually suggest to girls to get themselves listed onto other sites so that when the work on AW does go a bit drier than they are used to they may still get calls from the other sites.

Good luck for everyone over the festive period and into the new year.  Take it while you can. xx

Guys may start going into "panic mode" at the thought of being stuck at home with "her indoors" and come out to play but we just cant count on it.  It is usually busy up to a few days before Christmas Day as guys usually have the excuse to get away (going christmas shopping for the mrs) but it doesnt seem to be working that way this year.

No because then you will just say that about next year and there will be loads more 'reasons' yet there are some girls still getting dozens of bookings every week! I think this year has been pretty good over all. I haven't noticed any difference in the last couple of weeks or months for that matter. There seems to be a slight increase in calls around 'pay day' but it definitely hasn't been dead for the two weeks running up to it like someone said.

Wow I done 4 bookings from 7pm, finished at 3am this morning what a result. I can relax more tomorrow now the rent money is together. Normally late nights is off the agenda, but being quiet all day had to put more effort in.

It just gets extremely tiresome when I have friends who never have a problem or hardly, so I don't believe these reasons exist for everyone. Yeah some times of the year and events contribute towards it being slow but I do think it's more down to the individual, their profile, rates and area they are in as I've said before.

Kylie. I can understand that you might think it is down to the individual and not the year but so what hun? If a person wants to believe it is down to an alien invasion from earth surely that is there prerogative.

For me it has been up and down. Days when I have made a fortune and days where things have been slow. However I am not going to have a go at those who want to have a moan about it being quiet for them!

If you find it tiresome I would advice not reading this thread as it's sole aim is talking about how slow things are.

If it gets "tiresome" then do not respond.  I doubt ladies who are finding it hard at the moment need to have you point out that you and your friends are doing so well and that it must be down to the individual, their profile or their area..  When this thread is for us to have a bit of a whine.  Do what most of us does do not respond to a thread if it is that "tiresome". 

You are coming across very condescending it is not necessary.

I have about 2 a day on average but last night took four client's like on a good day. Two of these were my regulars. I have built up a good regular base,so with out these would be dead to. But the good news is that am still getting newbies coming. Do you mean dead quiet the day and night?. Today have seen two so far. How about you?.

I get the impression the recession is hitting here terrible, making it even harder to start escorting for the new comers.

I totally agree, those were the days werent they Strawberry.  There is also a difference in people wanting one or two bookings a day/week to people who work full time and are used to seeing 5/6/7 a day and before anyone says anything about not wanting that many a day ......................... we have heard it all before.

No way. I've said time and time again I don't mean myself. I only see a handful of clients a week and overnights out of choice. Daisy they are always finding it hard. Maybe if they tried marketing themselves differently or temporarily lowering their rate, having a new photoshoot even they might see a difference. Believe it or not what I'm saying will be helpful in the long run instead of jumping on the band wagon with all these reasons (literally a new reason every day) which is not helping anyone.

Yes of course because I just say it to look good or keep 'the punters happy' and wouldnt really possibly turn down the money! Lmao! LL you are starting to sound like a punter. I genuinely would never want to see that many a day let alone every week even if I was getting the calls. I don't know why that's so hard to understand?

There are always exceptions to the rules, and Kylie clearly you are one of them. However, the benefits of this thread are quite simply so WGs are re-assured they are not the only ones seeing things being quite quiet at the time of the post. Lets be honest, that is a massive relief to some.

Kylie, you are going to have to be careful with how you word things you do sound a lot like you are talking down to everyone and coming across as very condescending. There are a number of women on here who have probably been working longer than you have been alive who will have seen and done a lot more than you have.

But as one poster posted, 4/5 years ago it was a very different playing field to what it is now, and thats why some will be seeing a bigger difference than you most likely. Hence my remark about chalking it up to a bad year.

Its not hard to understand ........... it is just boring to hear over and over and over again.

"Maybe" is a small word but with the number of prossies quadrupling in the past three years or so (AW figures) and the economic climate the way it is, there is little chance of girls who are used to full time employment being able to make the wages they were used to making years ago.

It isnt rocket science .......... business isnt what it used to be .................. FACT ................ and NO Im not going to go into it any further.

I have said over and over again I'm not talking about myself. I'm not an exception to any rule because I never see more than 1-2 clients in any day and don't work every say. However I have female friends who I know can take 5 or more bookings daily without a problem. My point is maybe if people stopped with all the constant reasons and put the effort into doing something different it could have a much more positive outcome.

if your doing this "life style choice"  when your years older,hope your phone stops dead!!(i dont mean it)
and maybe you will empathise ha ha!! also wonder if your age will be honest?
or when you still feel like the same person  but you getting lines on your face,you will tell the world your real age,knowing the men are wanting younger,but still feel like the girl you always did..
i used to be just like you! the guys are ringing you,so you have an argument!your 20 years young,so everyone else are liars,because you cant see older womens dilemma..you will kylie you will..x x

I totally agree, those were the days werent they Strawberry.  There is also a difference in people wanting one or two bookings a day/week to people who work full time and are used to seeing 5/6/7 a day and before anyone says anything about not wanting that many a day ......................... we have heard it all before.
Yes of course because I just say it to look good or keep 'the punters happy' and wouldnt really possibly turn down the money! Lmao! LL you are starting to sound like a punter. I genuinely would never want to see that many a day let alone every week even if I was getting the calls. I don't know why that's so hard to understand? Not all of us are just focused on making as much money as possible, for me it's a lifestyle choice.
if your doing this "life style choice"  when your years older,hope your phone stops dead!!(i dont mean it)
and maybe you will empathise ha ha!! also wonder if your age will be honest?
or when you still feel like the same person  but you getting lines on your face,you will tell the world your real age,knowing the men are wanting younger,but still feel like the girl you always did..
i used to be just like you! the guys are ringing you,so you have an argument!your 20 years young,so everyone else are liars,because you cant see older womens dilemma..you will kylie you will..x x
Sadie for the last time I'm not actually talking about myself. There's no way I could get 5bookings a day every day but I don't actually want that. No I don't see the point in lying and hate liars but I do understand where your coming from and I actually do empathise that's why I'm saying there must be some things people can do.

And from a personal perspective I won't be doing this in 10years time and I do know that.

Kylie I limit my clients much like you do, always have exercised some form of restriction AND I have noticed a massive difference. In the past you had a much wider choice of clients, and if someone let you down(much rarer) there'd be a veritable virtual queue of offers. Basically you could have everyone cancel for days in a row and know you'd still be ok. I still have days like that but in general the phone is a lot quieter. Sure it's not affected me that much in sheer income terms (in fact if anything the amount of money coming in has increased slightly due to a variety of personal reasons) however I've noticed a difference in how easy it is to get bookings and mine are now spread out much more across the week - in the past I'd know by a certain day I'd have definitely had enough bookings to satisfy me and would then schedule 3 days off knowing on the 4th I'd be fully booked no problems. No I find there are very busy days, quiet days and dead days and I cannot be sure when I'll hit my target. I'll still do it and still happy with the number of bookings I get but I don't know for instance that I can be 'available' for 4 days and full fill my requirements for the week - I might need to make myself available for 5,6 or 7 days.

My biggest problem is that on busy days I'm turning guys away, but they won't rebook for the quieter days even when I've offered a discount. I still limit myself because I simply have a maximum number of clients each day that I don't want to exceed, and I always make sure I offer the same quality experience no matter how many or how few clients I see (although I find myself more motivated when I have an optimum number of bookings lined up)but it's more of an average over the week now.

And Kylie I have wanted to say for a while that I find your posts to be condescending, and can see how they get people's backs up. As you'll know I rarely go on the attack, and usually think quite a bit about things trying to see it from different points of view but that is the general feeling I get about your posts.

If you waltz around constantly saying "I get loads of bookings, turn loads away and never have any problems" it's not very empathetic nor sympathetic, and will wind up those who are finding it a struggle and looking for support.

I'm going to go away from this thread now because I can see it's going to seem as if everyone is ganging up on you, but it's not that way I'm simply trying to post how I feel and how it is.

My experience of 12 years is that a few years ago when I wanted ohhh let's say  6000 pounds for weeks work I would head over to Belfast or cork and make it it dead easy most of us who have worked in Ireland in those days will remember those times and and may they please please come back  this time last year Was the same up to December when it died because at Xmas time all the Xmas hookers come out in force diluting the market further  which is why I'm touring elsewhere ATM


50 euros was a tip not a fucking service  lol


Now I'm traveling half way around the world to make the same money  and the weather is fantastic ad the clients are lovely I'm a happy bunny and trying to extend my flight to stay a bit longer fuck Xmas I'm not bothering this year

 When the ash cloud happened a few years ago and I got stuck in Ireland for a extra week I came home and Blew 3 k on a fucking watch lol and still had thousands left over
I paid for my car in cash in a paper bag lol 15000 in a paper bag full of 50 notes  this was when business was busy
 5 holidays a year Thailand Mexico Maldives turkey Egypt and still have plenty of cash
Why because it was busy 8 10 plus a day was average  2 would have been slit my wrist  time

Those were the days when being a prossie was worth it
When you didn't ave to take every call / booking because hey ho there was another one in a bit



It' still is worth it however times change and you have  to move with them
I still make a pretty good living in Bristol  but  I find s that its more spread out. Whereas before I could do mon -fri I now work longer hours and nip back and forth on the weekends
The money is there its just harder work to get

Kylie you only want to do 2 a day that's great if you get 2 every day  however if you wanted to do say 5  or 7 a day every day would you have enough business for that  if not then really your experience on quite or not s not really in line with others that work full time or see more clients
Or have been working throughout the past 5 years and Seen a drastic change


2 a day to me would be  be dire if I was doing only 2 a day I would be re thinking my work 100 percent because 2 is to close to none a day

when you want to do say 5 a day but only do two I'm sure your posts will have a lot more sympathy  in them

Fair points but I don't know how 2 a day or a few a week plus an overnight so say ?1000 a week is a bad wage or die? lol

You work hard yes good for you. I don't want to work hard. I live comfortably and go away every year and can buy nice things but I just feel no need to kill myself earning mega bucks where it would take over my life. Plus I just don't have the mental capability to be fucking/sucking that many men I thong I would go insane and then the money would mean nothing.

Everybody has a different approach to escorting. Some do it part time, others full time. All depends on your financial needs, your goals, stamina, your love for willies etc...etc... And there's absolutely nothing wrong with choosing what works for you. Some are happy with seeing 10 clients a day,  some ( like me) would die if we had to see more than 3 a day. Others are happy to see 2 clients a month. What works for misskylie would never work for paris and vice versa. Again: Nothing wrong with that. The problem arises  when you're not able to choose. That's when burnout happens and you end up hating the job.

I'd agree with that. I think quality of life and free time is more significant than simply earning loads of cash, the beauty of any kind of escorting has to be the independence and free time it affords you being able to earn a reasonable amount of cash for a comparatively small number of working hours. I'd say most people would consider 1k a week to be a more than comfortable amount to live on. I'd resent doing it if it was a case of feeling I had to see a huge number of men each week, to me that'd kill it.

I agree too - I'm not particularly motivated by money and the abundance of free time to do whatever I like is far more important to me.

I go away on tour twice a month for a week or ten days and work like a dog, and whilst I used to make myself keep a few bookings to tick over when I get home I can barely be arsed now because I just don't need to; I've got so sick of people ringing and asking for same day bookings this week I've pretty much given up answering the phone at all as all the sensible folk know to email me and give me proper notice (although the snow has seen three cancellations here so far today and for tomorrow, and it isn't gone yet). I'm getting to resent letting strangers into my home more and more and since I'm not particularly extravagant on a day-to-day basis I'd rather put away the regular savings I do every month and just have a nice comfortable life :).

I didn't say it was a bad wage however if you have been use to seeing xxxxx clients and then drop to x its a big change

Before I started touring to ireland ect my earning for Bristol were around 2000  2500 upwards a week week no late nights occasional weekends ect now it probably 1500 1800  but working longer ect
I made plans when the recession hit so that I could do less and still be ok and now ave no rent ect mortgages so rhe extra money I was making was often getting swallowed up in rents and bills ect is no more so I don't have to earn xxxxxx   Xxxx is



But the 2a day thing however I'm talking from a touring prospective as well when 2 a day is crap 

At home in Bristol I tend to do 2 4 on average but I really don't have major overheads
So yes it's a good wage

1k aweek is a excellent wage however I'm just a greedy cow and do genuinely like touring

I used  to be  motivated by money far far more than I am now ( hard to believe) but I am more laid back when I work at home and I am happy to do 2 - 3 and more come in but I don't think I can't do them ect if i am able to I will


But from a touring point of view when you have just put the best part of 6k into a tour for a month  2 a day won't cut it so I guess that's where I am biased on working hard

That's my point when people are saying 2 day is fine then it is if your working from home no extra rent bills ect

But if your touring then your only going to come home with 1k give or take which after working long hours. Dealing with all the crap isn't worth it if you can make the same at home

Like you Sam I remember when Belfast was a 100 percent gold mine for 5 k a week profit and that was really the case until this year

Things can change very quickly overnight in some cases which is why I say that 2 days is to close to  none a day even if its a good wage

At the beginning of escorting I was all for it no matter if they woke me up. But now feeling more settled am more than happy to see a few a day at least. I agree that the quality of life is far more important instead of chasing the money race.

I didn't really cover this in my previous post. No Paris even if I wanted 5 guys a day every day it wouldn't happen because I only advertise on aw anyway. Some days it would be possible but probably only half the time maybe not even half and I'll admit that. I'm usually guaranteed at least 1-2 bookings a day. However I will never want or strive to get more than that, even though many wont believe me because like I said 'I wouldn't possibly turn down the cash' but it's actually the truth.

Why would you actually consider not doing the job if you were only getting 2 bookings a day? As long as you won't touring say and didn't have other expenses?

As for some of us two a day would not cover the mortgage, house hold bills plus bills for a work property i.e rent and two lots of council tax, water rates, gas and electric as well as the normal cost of having a family.

As a single girl living at home??? I think you said, then you would be ok with two as you have no bills as such but once you have a family etc then things do change.
If I only saw 2 a day as I only work roughly 3 days a week I would not even be able to afford my work flat let alone my own house and all the expenses I have i.e I have specialist care providers, plus when my condition flares up I also have to pay for someone to come to my home and do my every day things like having a bath or cooking or house work so if I did not see lots of clients on my days I do work I would never have enough to cover my expenses especially if I had a long period off work due to my illness.

I need on average a minimum of 4 clients a day for the days I work and thankfully I am still seeing around that amount so am keeping my head above water but I have seen a drastic change as this time last year I was earning around ?900 a day every day and was still turning people away as I could nto fit them in and I was doing a 5 day week.  Now I push it to get 4 clients a day and today only had 3 so have to hope I can work tomorrow as my bills are due and I do not want to use my savings to cover them

I think your expenditure and lifestyle choices dictate how much you work. Do you work 5 days a week or aim to?

Some people want to get in, make as much money as they can in the shortest possible time and GTF out!

The stigma associated to prostitution, the fact that most girls have a shelf life, all contributes to not being able to do this forever imo.

I'm dead this week but my other jobs are keeping me busy - I also haven't sorted my website, updated my pics or displayed my phone number for weeks, so that's possibly why I might not be getting much interest, or times might be getting harder, who knows?! :D

Yes I'm single but no I have lived on my own and supported myself for over three years since I was 17. I pay all my bills like everyone else and wouldn't dream of being on benefits. Thankfully my rent is very good and my bills are minimal but I have never leaned on anyone for anything. I'm very close to my family yes but don't get help from anyone.

No roughly 3-4 depending if I have an overnight booking that week or not but a lot of bookings are 2hr+ bookings as I prefer longer appointments and advertise my profile in that way. I don't do quickies and very rarely 30min bookings.

No roughly 3-4 depending if I have an overnight booking that week or not but a lot of bookings are 2hr+ bookings as I prefer longer appointments and advertise my profile in that way. I don't do quickies and very rarely 30min bookings.

I do 2-4 most days.

I wish I was getting even 2-4 per day myself...

my local replies haven't been great at all. Last month, I did not see a single client locally. Not 1. I toured 3 times last month, spent about $800 in gas, God knows on hotels probably equal. Paid off a bit, but the local replies have been awful.

I have gotten 2 replies in the last 30 days, last minute late night texts or calls. They seem to just be calling me on a whim or moments notice, and don't even care to try and arrange something properly...so once the desire passes I don't hear back from them.

I dont think anyone likes to pay for advertising and many think some are expensive and others not but when you think about it AW costs us 30GBP a month if you advertise your telephone number.  If not then you are laughing.  So if considering other sites for advertising we should always take this into consideration.

That's a very good point. Even with the private gallery 'paying for it' , I'd still rather have the cheque from the private gallery! I've tried AW with no phone number up and it never worked out, the back and forward emailing to arrange a booking would take days in advance most times as I can't email back instantly and neither do most of the clients. Or I got them to email for my number but most of them probably found someone else to call quicker by the time I emailed them back (I check AW between 1 and 6 times a day but minimum it will take me a few hours to respond). It was dead without displaying my phone number. x

I have been busy today in Belfast with newbies :) even turned one away tonight. Many calls say after 10pm I get are wasters so switch my phone off. But on the odd occasion the genuine ones want, bribing me with more cash then see them.. Some night clubs are on 7 days a week here. So most likely getting drunks who couldn't be discreet if they tried. Also a pin can be heard dropping at that time. This is why normally avoid late ones.  I always delete the ones that come through at early mornings before 6am.

MD- I think the whole of ROI and NI are having this problem.

When I work in Ireland normally I do 8-10 clients a day no problem. My daily target is 1000euro. I just went away for a week and was seeing on average 2-3 a day which for me was totally dire. So that's me not touring Ireland again for a good long while.

A lot of ladies in Belfast are saying it is slow for them. I personally credit that to the time of year and the fact that there are more girls in Belfast now than ever before. I hope it picks up for you hun.

Thinking about it yes the margority unless filthy rich does not seem to have money like the saying goes. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. I have had to readapt my spending to earnings as could never have nil in the bank. That is when things are really bad. But will keep my head above water for now cherishing every penney. Thank goodness my rent is cheap.

So have come up with a plan...

To beat the quitness might aswell do some thing productive like going to the health spa. If there were some here in Belfast in a simular position fancy it to?.

I've never been the busiest escort around - on average I see about 12 clients a month (which suits me) - but this month has been very quiet even by my standards. I'm seriously considering shutting shop until after the New Year; if nobody's going to book me I may as well take control and take time off rather than stay in work mode.

Dire isn't the word, in addition to it being quieter than normal, there have been riots in Belfast, where I was working. It was quiet before, but it has since gone silent. I mean my phone wasn't ringing, to the point I though it was turned off, or on silent.
I am home now, thankfully. But this last month has been a real struggle. So much so I am seriously considering not touring from the end of October of next year.

The riots haven't affected me as am living Bt7 out of the city where the hall is. Even clients came to me after inquiring if the area is safe from the riots. I explained where I am every things fine. The riots/protest will go on for a while yet especially with the people who believe so much. Even though the troubles are over the silent war goes on getting the upper hand from each sides. It was a catholic party who voted for the British flag to be removed the protestants are very angry about. I spoke to a client about this once to get a better understanding as the news over here I never watch. If I did all the time with every thing going on. It might affect me mess my head up. I've been here over a year now, in despite a Burglary and two men bashed my front door down. If any thing I am more mentally stronger than any thing, nothing will ever phase me again. I am built for this environment.

Is any one else finding their phone quiet? over the past couple of days. I feel that Belfast is suffering the most with recession. A regular wanted to see me last night but the road was blocked off. So lost money not good. The only reason am here was to escort now nothing sure makes me re-think. Ever since I met that guy business has gone down hill. When things get back on track my business comes first regardless. Like love doesn't pay my bills not doing this. Also the normal 9-5 job sounds daunting knowing where to start?.

MD, the phones have been a bit quieter, this could be due to the middle of the month, and the blocking of roads in Belfast aren't helping.

But saying that, are you as concentrated in work as you could be? Falling In love can take the focus away from what's important, especially with this job. Remember this, men will come and go, but bank balances and property will stay. Meaning, think about you bottom line. What's more important, kisses and cuddles, or the freedom to do as you please? And think long and hard about telling him what you do as well, as that can end in disaster. Good luck.

I made a decision yesterday to concentrate more escorting and yes he knows as his an ex client. What is more important to me is escorting really. Paying my rent and bills comes first. It's only been about four days dead with the odd one. To my surprise many missed calls this morning.  Today has been ok with bookings. It would be good to have the best of both worlds if only things was that simple.

lol, double viagra that's a good one.

Talk about snow, not only that but in my town we also had football championship game and that's all I hear about all day long. Cold weather, football. Cold weather, football. Like everyone revolves their very lives around weather and sports. That's why I liked living in Miami because besides football there was sex, money and clubbing to focus on.

That said, it's been slow as hell here. I seen 2 clients so far this week. I just paid my rent. I'm so broke I can't even afford to go out tonight and have a drink. Luckily, next week I'm meeting a regular in another state and he just deposited $100 to my paypal account, but that takes 2 days to reach my bank account  :P

I have dated a client once before, but never again. I just feel like they are getting it for free, and that irritates me. Many ladies have done it, and are doing it, good luck to them I say. When I am done at the end of the day, the only male I want around me is a small, furry, flat faced one.

I feel I can handle it better when I'm getting clients throughout the week regularly than when it's really slow and I'm just waiting around for a call. It's like I am so wanting to meet a client and then when someone finally calls and books, I'm so exhausted from waiting around. For some reason I can't jump into being SO happy about. It's a weird feeling.

Blaine I know exactly what you mean, so today was very quiet phone rangtwice.
First client decided to hang up , I thought to myself im not calling back.
Then the 2nd one rang and spoke and I could barely understand him, normally I dont have a problem with clients who do not speak very good english. But omg this one was a joke. Then I said to him you will need tp book me using the AW system, he just couldnt get to grips with what I was saying. In the end I had to be very blunt and just say to him if you cant book then I cant see you.

But dont you sometimes find you have clients you want to see and then you get the ones where you think, if I didnt have to pay a bill I wouldn't be here.

OMG ladies whilst typing this message mr I need a translator has decided to send me his address. What is wrong with these men these days lol!

I went out with a friend for a meal and drinks last night (we were mad to go out in this weather but it's been awhile since we last met) and was surprised how many men there were in this bar on the prowl for girls.  I guess some men find it convenient to pick up a wg from a bar after work in this weather rather than trawling through the sites/agencies.

If you do find work slow maybe you should consider different approaches to marketing yourself or hitting a fancy bar in your city as there will always be horny guys there.

I usually go to places where you can sit and watch sports,news etc. and have a meal, It's suprising how you can meet men finishing work and having a drink/meal who you can catch their eyes and flirt with. He he  ;D It is sometimes better than your ad sites sometimes,it's easy to forget other ways of making your money.
I did that during the run up to Xmas when i thought I wasn't getting many calls. it turned out my phone had been without service because Orange had changed to EE and disconnected my number because I only used it for incoming calls from clients :FF

It took me days to realise this but by then I had made more buy hussying in various places. ;D

To be honest I didn't charge my ad fee I left it up to them to say what they were prepared to pay,if it meant going to the ATM first we did that and you'd be suprised how many men do have quite a bit in their back pocket probably because some are out there horny hoping to pay for sex. Most of the time I got most of what I did charge on my ads give or take ?20 less,that's not a problem I was still making money.

It's worldwide...the US is slow as all hell too. But I do have some regulars in other locations who do book. Locally, even my regulars aren't booking anymore but I attribute that more to just things 'wore off' more than it having to do with money to spend. I think every year or 2, it's time to relocate. Otherwise you have to wait for things to replenish itself which can take damn near forever.

If I move, I wouldn't consider touring here again until a SIGNIFICANT amount of time has passed. Like 2 years minimum and it'd just be to pass thru. But it's weird, last year I visited a town and didn't get any clients from the area. Between Christmas and New Years I toured the same area and the clients just kept coming. I left with people still wanting to book. Maybe those new pictures pushed me over the edge LOL.

Real-life marketing is one of the best ways. I once met a guy at a bar and showed him my ad website on my phone LOL. He wasn't willing to pay that rate but he did go for a lower rate, but he was so easy and vanilla and the sex wasn't bad at all. The issue was, he was intoxicated and paranoid so we didn't end up doing it that night...but had exchanged information and met later that week.

When I started out I did it more often but haven't now since last Easter lol. Partly due to I live in a more conservative city now versus South Beach Miami where men would drive up next to you and solicit. In addition, it can be annoying haggling over rates and some guys get butthurt when you mention you're for pay and I don't ever want anyone tipping me off although I've never had a case where someone has complained..because the key is to let them approach you, not you go up to them.

its hard to stay positive when not crap is happening. I just feel so unmotivated. I've started taking iron supplements because I think I've become anemic due to the stress. i was just telling a friend earlier I'm just so frustrated. I had someone tell me (in a sort of "you're the problem" sort of way that how can I not possibly meet a client in a city of over 1,000,000 including all the suburbs.

I'm like you dummy...sure there are 1 million people but most can't afford it, others don't believe in it, others I'm not their type, others like older, others don't see men, others have no clue about the websites...there's a plethora of reasons why. I've done all I can on my part. what more can I do? cut off my nose to spite my face?

Last week was very slow, i set aside Friday to work and arranged three bookings with regulars, unfortunately all 3 cancelled due to the snow, one only 10 mins before when I'd already checked in and paid for the room! :( Didn't think it was too bad then the others cancelled too! Managed to get a shorter booking  later on which covered the room but after petrol and some food I arrived home making a not so huge profit of 5 pounds!  :FF  As a total contrast, got two longer bookings with my partner on Sun 13th, didnt originally fancy it so quoted a bit more and ended up walking away with 800!! Great when he does most of the work lol  ;D Think that was out the ordinary though as its been dead since then, but dont you hate it when you say you're working one day and get nothing then get loads of messages the next day when you're not free?!

Whenever I have to do incalls for a client or clients, I try to ask for a deposit before getting the room. Too easy for them to cancel. Especially if it seems like there's some 'circumstances' brewing on their end or in the weather that may make them cancel. I play the, "I'm too poor to afford a hotel room" game. Not all the time, but sometimes. just depends.

I had 1 client meet me at a hotel and give me the money for the room before I even booked it. Normally I'd of booked a room online, but he knew of an econo lodge and was going to check in himself but I had wanted to spend the night since I was still 600 miles from home lol. I'm like I didn't want to get a hotel in bum-fuck town and him not show up.

January has been pretty dire as I expected, but then I wasn't working the first two weeks anyway due to illness and the monthlies, you could tell it was pay day last week though! Still not mega busy by other's standards but enough for me. Time to see what February brings!  ::) Fortunately for me my regulars are the type who don't struggle too much at this time of year!

January was very good for me (not as boooooming as december!). End of January business died (as in slow death). I'm finding February veeeery slow. If this is begining of the month I don't even want to know how the second half the month is going to look like! Football is not helping either.

Every year same story with february  :(

Talk about dead...I feel dead right now. Rotting, decaying death...

For those who think it's so bad, it can be worse (even beyond me). I was going thru my books tonight and realize I have only made a measly $400 at home and not a single incall. That's only 254 pounds. That's all I made locally. I have traveled to death and although the money has been good away from home...I spend so much to go on the tour to begin with and then since I'm not making shit else at home, bills are constantly due and I don't really have money to play around with when I get back home.

Post by: Dexi Delite on 07 February 2013, 10:18:32 am
Jan was it and miss for me, as for most of it I was on my period, so could only offer a limited service which put some off understandably.  This month has been dead.  I've had plenty of calls the last few weeks for bookings, only for none of them to confirm on the day, not to mention the amount of weirdos I've had ring for a booking and for my own sanity and safety declined them.  I've had 2 today already. One of which was asking if I would do an hours booking for ?100 and then he would supply me with loo rolls to make up the rest, then he started rambling on about marketing, and not making any sense what-so-ever.  I just hung up in the end as he wouldn't take no for an answer. 
I had planned to start saving this year, but I've been scuppered already, and what I have managed to save is now going on food and bills.  :(
If it's like this next year I think I just might take half of Jan and Feb off, and save myself the stress of dealing with weirdos and those who had no intention of confirming their bookings.

I really hope it gets better soon.

I ve met him before he did that. he brought me wet wipes and he talked to me face to face about loo rolls and supplying them..the meeting was really ok as he is an obedient sub, but he got cheeky afterwards when wanted to book and hassled for the prices....I declined, of course, but he is was respectful in flesh...still, I can't take it when someone tries to bargain...

He was really hard work on the phone.  As I said he just didn't seem to make any sense, and I had to figure out that he did actually want a booking rather than trying to sell me loo rolls or marketing.  It was really bizarre.  It was as if the converation started in the middle worked it's way to the beginning and then I ended it.  I figured if he was this much hard work on the phone what on earth would he be like face to face.  I didn't want to take the chance, not to mention that I made it clear several times that I don't barter, my prices are non negotiable.
Obviously if you've seen him before then I suppose it's not really an issue, if you know what he's like.

He must have been very horny :) I have refused to see him since he started bargaining and telling me about the loo rolls; he then offered to come and clean my house or do anything if I would see him for less money, :) . He can take those loo rolls and stick them up....his  :)

Dead as a dodo for me but then it's half term meaning I'm mainly on mummy duties anyway so can't do same day bookings! So far this year has been pretty dire enquiries-wise but I'm still JUST managing to meet my average of 3 per week, albeit 1/2 hour bookings mainly!

Moving away from escorting and trying to concentrate on camming at the moment anyway so I shouldn't complain, but hour long bookings would be appreciated! LOL!

They forced other girls too and they wont stop because they know we need money, hence we need their site

And as Cat said, I dont know what they actually do with all our copies of IDs
For me looks like they have a huge data base and they might use it for faking IDs ..

I have had to go verified too or do without.  I have/had no wish to go verified.  There are only a couple of advantages to being verified and IMO they are just not worth it.  But I do plan on closing that account and starting from fresh again.  I already went from almost 400 feedback to nil and it didnt affect my business, so I know I can survive again.

First of all being verified helps business like gives more hope to clients. If you are worried about what they are doing with id. Trust me adult work is ok in my eyes. It helps me get business. Being afraid in life is no good. One client told me once he wouldn't go near the 0 feedbacks.

Many of the well established escorts on this forum are not verified and do just as well, if not better than many that are verified.  I do not agree that it helps business if you are verified.  I, too was successful at getting bookings when I wasnt verified and with zero feedback.

Thats only ONE guy in your experience, its not a lot really, is it ?

With all due respect, this ^^^ is a total load of cobblers. I can show you examples of different girls using the same verification picture and managing to get different profiles verified. AW doesn't care whether the picture matches those on the profile (how could they when they accept blurred photos?). All verification does is guarantee - to a certain extent (assuming fake ID hasn't been used) - that the person in it is at least 18 years of age. Even AW go to great pains to point this out to prospective clients. So why anybody would place any extra credence on a verified profile, and think it gives them more 'hope', is frankly beyond me.

There are other ways of proving you're genuine - having FR, feedback etc - without having to hand over all your personal details to some unknown entity based in  Belize.

The only good thing I can think of about being verified, is that it can help you if your profile is reported maliciously to AW - e.g. somebody claiming that you're underage / using stolen photos etc. Being verified in these circumstances helps speed up the dispute resolution process with AW.

See this thread (the last couple of pages especially):-

http://www.saafe.info/main/index.php?topic=13287.0 (http://www.saafe.info/main/index.php?topic=13287.0)

AW are very lax about security. I was reading on another forum about another service provider who had details of her passport plastered onto another lady's profile. Identity theft is still a very real problem and one that we should all try not to make ourselves easy victims to.

Fair enough but feedback has nothing to do with being verified. I've seen plenty of verified profiles which even after months/years, don't have a single feedback.

I would hate for girls to read these sorts of comments and feel pressurised into verifying and be left feeling that their business will be affected if they don't go down this route. Sometimes I think we forget that AW is not the only directory out there, there are plenty others to choose from.  :)

Take your son out to a few places, spend some 'quality' time with him, take photos and make memories. He will thank you for it in the future (if not now, for dragging him away from the Ps3!) and you'll have spent precious time together - I say 'precious' as they grow up so quickly, and in a heartbeat he'll have left home and you'll be left wondering where the years went! :o

I've seen only two clients in the last two weeks and for the first time since I've been working I haven't even had a text message enquiry whereas my two flatmates are just as busy as ever  ???

I've updated my blog which I've neglected, and posted some new pics to try and generate some interest.

On the plus side, I have a guy seeing me on Thursday whom I'm hoping will turn into a regular (fourth time seeing him).

I thought about contacting anyone who has seen me through Adultwork (via their AW email) at least three times and offering them a super special offer (same offer I give to regulars who see me monthly) - hopefully this'll work :(

A woman I used to work with told me that if you wake up with a negative view on the day your day will be crap.  So everyday she used to come in and say "today I am seeing atleast 3 clients" and she did.  Positive attitude will bring you results. ;)

After a fantastic February (my fantastic is most peoples bad month btw! lol) I'm back to being dead again.

I got so depressed last night....first time I've ever been depressed by a reverse booking knock back!  I have only twice won reverse bookings so it's water off a duck's back to me usually...but there was one reverse booking that really took my fancy....my ideal elderly gentleman client, local, dinner date, not great pay but it was the day of my Birthday and I thought it would be fantastic....and when he replied saying he wouldn't be chosing me (the RB is a month away!) I felt like I'd been hit with a brick! My self esteem went to zero!  How stupid of me....and like I say the first time I've been effected like that! I'm ok today....I know I'm not every one's cup of tea....just a shame he seemed to be mine! LOL

Hi Kat.
I get the impression business is generally slower across the board.
Difficult to say if it's down to the area. In any location, you will often hear one girl saying she's quiet and then another saying she's busy.

By all means show your profile to someone you trust on here if you think that will help. I asked Amy to look at my profile way back in the day and she suggested some improvements which I acted on. She also pointed out a few errors I'd never noticed despite checking it a hundred times. So yes definitely a different set of eyes can really help.

If discretion is important to you please think carefully about who to send the link to. This is an open forum and anybody can join pretending to be an escort so please be careful what details you share with someone you don't know. You might think you're speaking to a Jane but it could very well be a John on the other end  :)

Post by: Lady_Lust_XXX on 08 March 2013, 01:10:18 pm
I think it is really difficult to tell if one place is quiet and another isnt.  One female may say she is busy when she only has one booking a day but has that every day and another girl would think that dire if she is used to seeing 4/5/6 or more a day maybe 3 or 4 days a week.

On saying that I think 3 weeks without any work is rather long.  Do as Alisha says and ask someone you think is a responsible member of the forum or ask amy or ask amy for a suggestion.  So many options.

Get yourself onto some more escort directories for not everyone has heard of AW, i know it sounds unbelievable but its true.  Get yourself out there girl and put it about.

Your New
Cant do incalls
Only on adultwork 

in theory  new girls are generally busy because,  well they are new,  but  they way it is at the moment  you need to be ( as a rule) advertise on more sites especially sites that are local to your area so that more local guys can see you /find you

Possibly offer in calls   some girls do fine on outcalls but if you can offer both then your getting more choice  for yourself of booking

tell me about it. This is just unbelievable. It's just not normal or right. Sundays used to be a pretty expectant day to get bookings. The weather was great yesterday but shit on Saturday so I expected the boys to come out and play. Nothing all day.Looking at the future (as in next month or 2), there's just no way I'll be able to either A) Stay in this area or B) Have this as my only job. And I figure if I have to get a normal job elsewhere...I might as well pick up and start in another city.

I'm fixing to start lying and plotting. Maybe put a picture of someone else and make up something about myself locally to get more business. I've even changed my name a bit thinking it sounded too 'kiddy'. So instead of Joey Bryant, I'm simply 'Bryant.

Can you believe this, I had my good regular come to town and drop $500 and I'm still behind on rent and bills. Reason being is that's all the money I've made locally this month. I made almost the same amount last week on a 2 day tour, but by the time I came back home I was broke because it's so damn far to drive out there.

I just don't know what to do. I know I can travel and get going but I can't do it right now. What are some ways to just get something? I just want to cry but I know it'll just make me feel weak. I even had a website send me an email saying they see I only got 1 inquirie which is "not normal' and it may have to do with 'Spring Break'. But all my sites are down right now. I have 4 sites with ads up and non are getting anything. I get people hitting me up but they just flake and play games.

For example, the most recent reply I got to my ad was asking if I could come over. He doesn't even text like he was supposed to sending me his address. Then he talks about having a 'buddy' come over as well and that he likes to play to. Shortly after, all messages ceased. I'm at just on my last nerve.

I've found its been extremely slow since the first of March. January was brilliant then February it went quieter a quieter now its practically dead. I suspect its due to me not being able to offer in calls anymore but I wanted to ask if anyone else on here was finding work slow? I do advertise on various websites and I did try a hotel (which didn't go very well but I got one client which wasn't a huge loss) But now I'm lucky if I get one email a day if that

Veronica, I've merged this thread in with the main one covering the same topic, which as you can see is now on 106 pages and is made up of posts starting six years ago. If you have a look through it, you'll see that most people have the odd quiet spell and it's nothing that unusual - not unlike the Straight Men thread, you could pick virtually any page from last month, last year or five years ago and they all read pretty much the same.

In other words, don't worry about it too much :).

Veronica, I've merged this thread in with the main one covering the same topic, which as you can see is now on 106 pages and is made up of posts starting six years ago. If you have a look through it, you'll see that most people have the odd quiet spell and it's nothing that unusual - not unlike the Straight Men thread, you could pick virtually any page from last month, last year or five years ago and they all read pretty much the same.

In other words, don't worry about it too much :).

In America, one letter off and that's an offensive word. I think it's called 'snicker'.

But that said...yes ain't it crazy? But as someone who was around when this thread started...I'll say it wasn't a slow ride the whole through else I'd of quit LONG time ago. Sometimes I feel we're the only ones feeling it slow when all the other businesses are bustling. It just makes you feel like crap when the phone isn't ringing, but you walk outside there's people on the streets, cars on the roads...airplanes taking off and landing every 5 seconds. Yet, I can't scrape up 1 appointment all month long.

It's just maddening. It you makes you think, WHY AM I NOT GETTING ANYTHING when there is 50 million people in the entire state? An escort bought this up to me in a kind of pretentious, snobby way...I just wanted to go through the computer and shake him. I had to virtually PIMP SLAP his ass to let him know that probably 30% are families, 60% are probably straight, which leaves me with 10% of the population, many who are too young to hire or they probably don't agree with paying for sex which is 90% of the gay population, then you have those who are only into White men probably 80% of the population where I live at, then you have the ones with enough money to afford my rates which dwindles to only 2% and then those who actually do. So I am probably only working with 0.000005% of the population! Which is about 250 men! Factor in their busy schedules and the fact that they are probably hiring touring escorts, spread it out over a period of 5 years, that's 50 local clients a year or 4.16 per month which I'm not even getting when you factor in cancellations...

I know :).

To be fair, it wasn't originally a single thread; I just got sick to death of everybody starting a new one every time their phone hadn't rung for a few hours and I remember one day in particular we had no less than seven front page threads spread between Q&A and Blather, all of which were virtually identical. So I merged them into the behemoth we see before us ;D.

I agree, and I don't think it hurts for everyone to see that it's a regular thing, it happens and just about ev3erybody's joined in on it at some stage.

In the UK one letter off and it's an offensive word too. However you'll find it isn't one letter off and that the phrase here is indeed snigger. Not to mention the fact that Paris has quite the tan on her :)

Any how I think things are up and down everywhere. A lot of ladies and gents will find that touring simply isn't working any more and staying in base makes more sense. It seems now more than ever it pays to save and invest where we can although it may seem so hard. For me when money is slower coming in I reassess my out goings and realise so many things can be done cheaper/not at all. It helps I find

Me too. When my bookings drop to less than two a day, that's when I get militant with any paid advertising I happen to be subscribing to. Just recently I removed myself from IEG because I just couldn't justify the costs for what I was getting as a return. I use the spare cash to reinvest in adverts that are working for me at the time

I agree and didn't J Lo get slated for using the N word in one of her songs   

Touring used to be great you could make thousands of pounds  and it still can be good and I'm glad  Ive toured everywhere because i learnt a lot and i have made some really nice friends from touring mainly in Ireland but also here in the uk 

But i find that touring now especially in the uk isn't really worth the hassle for me and i expect lots of ladies will find it to be the same. 
  Ireland is still good  for me but thats only because i have been going there for a long time and have lots of regulars there 
Australia was fab but its so bloody far and so expensive  so to go there you really have to take it as more of a working extended holiday  Canada is my next big tour later this year and I'm really excited about that as i have always wanted to visit Canada
But for now I'm staying close home for the next few months.  I will still tour as i really like it and get to visit places that i have never been to and probably wouldn't have the opportunity to if i wasn't in this business   but it will be more of a working holiday to places that i want to visit rather than expecting to make a fortune like it used to be
 
  I don't see the point in charging the same or less than what i charge  at home when I'm touring and earning less as I'm immediately down by ?100 ?150 min in the uk and abroad it can be as much as ?200 ?250 a day when you factor in flights advertising and all the other crap 
   I can sit at home do 2 -3  bookings a day sometimes more but rarely less than that over a week, but touring I would need to do double that amount to make it worth while for me to work long hours be away from home and stuck in hotel for weeks on end

Anticipation that it going to work by taking a little blue pill    (for an escort this means that  going to be busy cos your adverts are up  )

So he taken the pill and ....

Too right! And when you think oh I'll work really hard today and then there's the absence of phone calls or emails. Then the days you don't want to work or busy with personal life etc.. and its contestant. I always get a phone call when I'm either on the train or in a shop men have such great timing

Can you believe this, I had my good regular come to town and drop $500 and I'm still behind on rent and bills. Reason being is that's all the money I've made locally this month. I made almost the same amount last week on a 2 day tour, but by the time I came back home I was broke because it's so damn far to drive out there.

I just don't know what to do. I know I can travel and get going but I can't do it right now. What are some ways to just get something? I just want to cry but I know it'll just make me feel weak. I even had a website send me an email saying they see I only got 1 inquirie which is "not normal' and it may have to do with 'Spring Break'. But all my sites are down right now. I have 4 sites with ads up and non are getting anything. I get people hitting me up but they just flake and play games.

For example, the most recent reply I got to my ad was asking if I could come over. He doesn't even text like he was supposed to sending me his address. Then he talks about having a 'buddy' come over as well and that he likes to play to. Shortly after, all messages ceased. I'm at just on my last nerve.


You're instinctively aware this may well be something 'different' to just the nomal 'peaks and troughs' situation, one accepts as normal.  If it really is as 'severe' as you describe, I'm sure you will strip things right back to basics and take a look at the fundementals.  Such dramatic changes, over a sustained period, must be dependent on on one of the basics; most likely a change in the market and competetion has changed due to a change in climate.  I guess a reassesment, at least, just to get numbers up on the situation, to check, but i would guess, like most things in business, it comes down to price.

Hey babes, I've just returned after a spell away and have to say much quieter in NE than back in 2010 when I stopped. If I hadn't got in touch with some old regulars I don't think I would have had any bookings. Seem to get a lot of messages asking for discounts, may be the way to go in the current plight. tx

Here in the States we've had this thing going on called the 'sequester'. Seems like that has just made things slower EVERYWHERE. Mainly locally as I' haven't been getting anything at all.

I did a tour last week going to 4 cities and overall it was a D+ on the scale of success A being success and F being failure. I started off with an A, then quickly started falling off. Of the 5 days I spent in hotels, 3 of them went without having any incalls.

Ahh.  Ours just finished on Thursday.  So when do your schools return then?


Edit : just did a check and yours go back on 8th but are then off for a week in May.  Scottish schools don't get that week off. 

Think this shows that if touring then we should always factor these things in when planning on visiting a place.

I started in 2008 also. This probably isn't the slowest month ever due to traveling, but it damn near tips the scales. I am just so sick and tired of people turning down bookings when listing on craiglist. On my main paid ads, people are booking me and then not turning up. Cancelling without a good excuse, just playing games...I've been down to like 3-6 clients per MONTH in my local area.

I have done everything under the sun to try and get more bookings. Now, I just dropped my rates by 50-75 dollars. Next step is to just go ahead and relocate. I can't take this no more. It almost seems like things are just stuck in a standstill or something. How hard is it to get a man to pay for sex these days?

All you can do is relax given time for things to improve. Not sure about that scene though. Do what your instinct tells you. After all nothing will change unless actions are changed. But on the other hand consider moving as that doesn't guarantee profit. If so then you will be like stuck in a catch 22 worser off having paid out for new home etc.


Added...

The way I worked out where to live was by touring. Here in belfast I am more established. And also feel they are more considerate compared to what I had in the past through escorting. Also had a feel for the place too.

whats most frustrating is even though I'm not getting much work (only made $150 in the past 2 WEEKS), is I still have to answer calls and emails to my ad and I'm not even getting paid for it. It's just so irritating. I'm about to turn everything off, pull all ads for a little while and see what happens.

Maybe disappearing and reappearing will help? In the meantime what about bills?

The longer time that is spent telling yourself that business isn't working, loosing hope. It will keep going that way. It is all about breaking the cycle

It's all about using different strategies working from different angles until the flow's going. Think about it, the longer this goes on for you might damage. So it is vital the sooner the better type of thing. Also to believe in yourself opening your mind.

The more time is spent dwelling about the way things are isn't good. Maybe talk to other escorts who do your line of work for tips?. Nothing will improve without adding ingredients to the cake. But it is up to you to work out.

Of course you're paid for it - it's all part of your job. If you earn x amount in x time then that's your earnings - if you want to get paid pro rata for every stroke of work you do, you need to get a civvy job with a contract and a salary and that you can walk away from at the end of the day.

I probably spend a full working day's worth of hours on admin every week at least, because if I didn't I wouldn't get paid because I wouldn't have any work - it may be indirect but that doesn't mean it doesn't count.

I go through periods where I don't get any bookings for a couple of days, but generally it does pick up. I think the worst for me has been about 5days without a genuine booking.  Ad long as I'm seeing 5-8 clients a week I'm happy with that.

Ive had a couple of single days here and there that I dont see anyone, usually the end of the month before they get paid.  We just got to bide our time.

Post by: Lady_Lust_XXX on 24 April 2013, 10:48:05 pm
Don't panic, it will probably be quiet all over this weekend.  The 28th isn't till Monday so guys who get paid on that day will have senowt this weekend, not like if they get paid on Friday if 28th falls on Sunday.  Its been a short month thank goodness but that doesn't really bring us more money in.  Loads of guys would have to use up works holidays too to cover school holidays with inability to "escape" cos children had to be looked after.

Roll on next week when things should get better.

I have become quite anxious as work is too quiet, I don't know if anyone else feels like this, at the end of each day Ive been working at the flat I keep  feeling low  what should I be doing differently?.  I've started  new escort adverts and I get calls from 2am-5am in the mornings since ... even though my phone is switched off thankfully. I am on a strict diet as I am trying to get down to a size 10-12 again for my own self ... I know that would make me feel better.  have a week off soon and will do a tour date and work more hours at home to see if things pick up.
I feel exactly the same. Been on call all night yesterday and tonight and got nothing. I'm always having to make sure I'm groomed and shaved everywhere ect in case I do get anything but days like the past 2 make you feel like "what a waste of time". If I could just get 2 bookings this week I'd be happy. Last week I was getting flooded with bookings of which half I couldn't take, this week my availability is really good and so far nothing, sods law =( fingers crossed things pick up for us :) x

Hi, was wondering why it happened that since the spring came in, on 21 this month,,I got a drastic reduction in calls... 
I bet the seasoned and experienced who have worked all seasons, would know the answer to this slow down?

Now, I get mostly calls between 7am and 11am... when I am still in bed.
I went to see 3 of the local ladies i know in my area, and asked them if it was the same for women too..
1st Answers i got: Yes now people change house, no time.
2nd Answer: Many people change job, or lose it, and dont have money.
3rd answer, by phone: Am okay, as usual. But i know she services from ?30's, and have regulars.

Can the reason be that the weather is getting HOT and the spring brings laziness and makes people lull and quiet ?
Knowing it before i should have gone on holiday.
Thank you for your opinion

Hey, glad this post has come up coz I was thinking exactly the same thing, this has been the worst month for me and just don't understand it, maybe the alright weather has made it quieter, maybe a lot of men have gone on hol, but it is very quiet for me this month, so your not alone :) hopefully it will pick up soon :) xx

Sweetcheeks, if you can, make yourself available as much as possible during the third week of the month but don't  expect a lot between 21 and 28 of the month.

For some reason I too have had lots of missed calls during the wee, small hours. Interesting since I do clearly state my hours on my website and my voicemail message also gives these times to phone back too. Doesn't stop the same numbers from ringing repeatedly, and even sometimes leaving me the odd voicemail. ::) ::)

I have said it before, if an escort is continually not getting enough business it is NOT always going to be down to pay day, holidays, the rain ect. I would really consider lower my rates slightly or offering special offers if this were the case. There are still men out there booking certain prossies constantly, some of these girls continually have 20-30 feedbacks for one month so imagine how many clients they are really getting! This is what I see in my area and plenty others anyway.

April has been my busiest month so far this year!  :o
I used to find the end of the week was busiest, now it seems to be Mondays and Tuesdays.
The industry is very unpredictable so its always hard to say why things are busy or slow

Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: jennymyshe on 25 April 2013, 05:37:47 pm
yes now getting few calls... but mostly enquiries of nervous chaps never been with Trans  ;D ...
I am having a longer chat than usual because Iam trying to lead the conversation and discretely ask how do they feel in april may...
The answers I got were about salary getting paid into their account at the end of month, and laziness due to the heat. One man even asked if had a conditioner.
Yes definitely all ladies and men escorts usually get more clients when its cold, I was surprised to get the best bookings when there was snow a few weeks back.
If i may attempt to make a prediction, the last days of April till 30th will be slow, then the first few days of May slowly picking up.
June will be definitely good, as people by and by are getting used to the hot weather, and look at the girls wearing mini-skitrts all over the town, there fore it will be automatic for them to go online and book book !
Perhaps when its hotter than usual the majority requires more short times than longer ? quickies ?
best luck and prosperity to all of you

OK so going on that 30 feedback in one month  then  i must be totally crap cos i have only had 1feedback  this year

however 30 feedback /client is really only 1 client a day or so not a massive amount  and even if she see 2 clients a day its not exactly hard to achieve that if she is good at what she dose  priced correctly and has decent photos feedback ect 
   
However if she see 3 clients a day and works say 5 days a week then that 60 clients a month, so maybe half leave her feedback but 3 clients a day is not a massive amount to do   But it all depend on how many days /hours  she works as well 
 
 Three client a day would be my rough target if I'm working at home so again not a massive target to achieve ( imo)
 But since i have had no feedback since feb by all accounts  I must be doing shit and need to rethink my advertising and slash my prices so that i can see more clients and get more feedback to prove that i am busy  ( not sure who i would want to prove that to though) 
 
However saying that  I was probably one of the few escorts that wasn't running around like a headless chicken panicking when adultwork went down last week because I advertise elsewhere and I  do get business from elsewhere and these client might not write feedback about me anywhere  But it doesn't mean that I'm not busy just because i don't have feedback from a site

Feedback  especially from a site like adultwork really don't mean shit imo , 
And those that have had 30+ feedback in a month added  how do we know they are genuine, or not in real terms   

Feedback is subjective  and once you have a fair amount of feedback that positive its not really worth any more Just show that your still whoring and still sucking cock and not getting complaints from clients and that your consistent in your work




Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Dani on 25 April 2013, 08:05:00 pm
@Paris me too.  I rpbably get one or two feedbacks a month yet ont he days I work I am normally very busy. I just take mainly phone bookings as AW is not my main source of income as I have a couple fo websites that are very well adbertised everywhere.

If it is assumed that hardly any new feedback means someone is not busy and needs to lower her rates that is just so worng on many levels.
Not all of us use just AW and not all of us insist on a booking being placed if a client is from AW.  I personally have more than enough feedback and do not care if I ever get any more. 
I could not see anymore clients a day than I do now as there is not enough time.  I normally aim for at least 4 a day and normally reach between 6-8.  This means I dont have to work everyday and can have days off when I am not feeling it or if I feel slightly unwell or when my illness flares up without worrying about money.

If you consistently get no work though then yes take a look at your advertising and see how it can be changed to look more appealing.
New photos always help too so I update mine every 6 - 8 weeks.  Just normal ones done at home but it works for AW.  A new profile picture every few days seems to keep the clients coming

Also advertise in all the major directories and I have found the local paper.  My paper phone (I keep phones for websites, AW and paper sepreate so I know where calls are coming from) never stops ringing day and night and although you have to get a patter of your rates and description it is easy to do and I probably see about 15 clients a week fromthe local paper.

If you want to be busy I perosnally think (I may be wrong) that you need to put time and effort into not only the bookings but your advertising as well.  After all that is what sells you in the first place.  Your profile or web page has to grab their attention long enough for them to want to book you

Wow you have some figure for statistics Paris.  I didn't think about it that much.  What I did do was do a check of escorts in the UK and only 1 out of 19,576 came anywhere close to 30 escort FB in a month or 90 escort FB in 3 months.  That was the delectable Annabelle and no wonder.  Even the well established girls like yourself and others on the board here don't come anywhere near that figure. 

Im like yourself I think FB is irrelevant and only as good as the person who wrote it (unless you happen to know them personally) so water off a ducks back for me too.  It just lets them know we are still alive and "sucking and fucking". ;D

We are in hard times and many business's are suffering BUT in basic terms there will always be a demand for escorts,as there will always be a demand for plumbers if your sink is blocked lol or a roofer if your roof is leaking. Men are much the same as a leaking roof, they need satisfying,and if they are not getting what they want they will book us.The market is flooded with new girls but I still think there is enough togo around if you are good at what you do, and I don't just mean the sex bit, clients recognise a great service and will return, that's the key in my experience anyway.

I think the thing is, your profile could be tip top, your advertising could be fabulous but it's normal to sometimes have droughts, business is not going to be a constant. If girls started slashing their prices every time they'd have a dry spell we'd all be charging about 2p an hour. Besides often it's dangerous if an escort sees herself at fault too much when business is slow that's when people start considering doing things they're not comfortable with or coming across too aggressive with clients, sometimes worrying is counterproductive in business.

My business has been awful lately I started things from scratch and instead of getting an influx for being new I've had nada for a whole week except tws, I panicked dropped my prices a bit (I'd recently raised them quite high) and tried to stop checking my inbox constantly and thankfully things are back to normal, I usually get about 4 or 5 clients a week which is probably a lot less than most but I work in a small area, offer limited services and I don't take last minute bookings a lot of the time so I miss out, I also suffer from depression so take unplanned amounts of time off and I've been very ill lately. I could take this all personally and think wow I'm the worst escort ever I'm doing everything wrong. If I did that I'd not even leave my bed, I'm sure with time as I gain more confidence I'll get better at organising clients, maintaining my client base and taking last minute bookings more. I'm young I live alone I find it very hard to motivate myself so if I analysed my business all the time like you suggest I'd give up.

I had a lot of sameday enquiries today, however last night with no advance bookings lined up and Fridays usually fairly quiet - plus I have some personal stuff right in the middle, I decided to commit to getting some other personal things out the way. First enquiry was for a time I didn't have advertised available for bookings anyway due to the original personal thing which ruled out bookings at a particular time today, next one was just too late to change the other thing I'd decided to do (I don't/won't go mucking other businesses about over a possible booking, it's not fair - I know only too well what it's like when someone chops and changes). Then finally right at the last minute when I've now gone ahead with the commitments, and am not prepared for a booking afterwars someone phones 'just passing'.

Other Friday's the phone just hasn't twitched all day!

Ah well, weekend is here.

Yes, Ive noticed of late too that Fridays weren't what they used to be so had decided to take today off in the run up to a family weekend .... what happens .... guys called last night for bookings for today .... so I told to confirm in the morning, totally expecting them not to .... wrong again.  Ive had a day of being wrong ..... but a purse full of notes so I'll not complain.  I cant say it is the heat either as it is still cold here.

I find advance bookings are very unreliable in my experience so very much prefer same day bookings.

Conversely I do not accept same day bookings, have been booked up completely a few weeks in advance a few weeks and never had a cancellation in 3 months. Then the other week I fancied working on my scheduled day off...2 cancellations in a row. Go figure.

I've never found advance bookings to be reliable hence me telling them to call back today but like I said previously I was wrong in this instance.

I think it's up to the individual and more where they are located too.

Post by: jennymyshe on 27 April 2013, 12:01:30 am
Thanx, that is what i thought ...
Even though might be a bit slow towards the end of april, people do email or call, but many are looking for freebies, or just titillation stuff.. I dislike bookings, because until the day of booking come, most client feel entitled to send endless texts , or to randomly call to check how is it going and so on...
I wrote a personal note on adult work to not to use the booking form and to contact me by email message through adult work first by introducing himself, and stating: Age-approx/Ethnic bkd/the Tel nr he will be calling me from, then i will give my tel. Then on the dayof the appointment, the same person and voice, calling by the same noted tel number, must call one hour before coming in.
That normally puts off many wasters who like things to be immediate,,,
Wasters can only operate when they have all like instant coffe, when making it a little more difficult many give up.

hi i always wanted to ask about this...
do booking really work ? i never dealt with long term bookings, and normally say to people to give me one hour notice,,, depending of my committment at the time of their call.
Does i work for most of you?
thanx

Personally lately I haven't noticed a difference in the rates of cancellation between advanced bookings and last minute bookings. I do however find that advanced bookings do require more contact, which is fine as I can get more of a feel for the guy, which is advantageous if its a longer booking.

I have always found advance bookings to be much more reliable. I take same day bookings but never last min as I don't like to wait around for appointments. I honestly find last min booking to be the most unreliable and undesirable clients in my personal experience.

Total opposite for me -  all 5 bookings that i took yesterday and the 2 today were all last minute booked within 30 - 1hr notice  which is fine for me as i have set days that  i work and i hate having to rush around and get ready I prefer to work so that I'm available from X am to `X am and then i know what I'm doing

Things are slow in Belfast enough as it is at the moment, so it really annoys me when I keep a slot open for a who booked turned away a few tonight. Then it only turns out to be one of those haggler's. It is coming that day again soon where I double book. But don't want to.

No, me neither. The furthest I'll go for 90 minutes is York which is an hour or so away from me, but I don't drive and so I don't cover the local two-houses-a-dog-and-a-dustbin spots anyway. In fact I can be arsed with outcalls so rarely even I can't remember all my rules for them  :D.

I've blocked five people on my phone in two days just for complete and total knobbery (including a delightful bloke who couldn't understand why I wouldn't see him for fifty quid if he promised to come Every Single Week despite the fact that I'm only at home and available one week of the month; I told him to call me when he had two fifties to put together ::)) and I'm busy decorating anyway so I'm not bothered, but it's got so irritating I've had the call blocker on permanently since yesterday afternoon. According to Mr Amy it's the sun fetches them out, like lizards ;D.

I had an utterly BRILLIANT one yesterday!

Me and the girl I work in the flat with both had 2:30 bookings, but she took mine in instead, and noticed he was on her blocked list so sent him out...

I then let him in and he cut his 30 min booking down to 15 minutes... The minute he left he called my mate saying "Can I come for a 15 min booking? Just been to the other girl, but never realised you had moved flats and I've not seen you for ages and you wouldn't answer my booking requests! Don't tell her though."

She told him where to go, And then told me.

He then text saying he had held off 'finishing' with me purely so he could see her... Well, should have thought about why she didn't tell you a change of address then dickhead.

Needless to say, he is now on my blocked list too.

Oh yes, that too.  Probably that more than anything else.  For every one of us there was three years ago there is now four so for every four jobs we used to get we only get one now.

Used to do a 15min service but got ridiculous texts and idiots on the phone so only do 30 mins now as shortest time,my rate is reasonable.  , hey they can spend more in the pub with their mates on a night out i figure, some people spend  loads of money on clubs etc and taxi fares & evenings out which are often way over ? 100 !!! their choice where the money ends up

I did 15min bookings when I first started but never would these days. It definitely attracts the more undesirable client from my personal experience. A lot of men that just want to fuck and go and don't treat you with much respect. Obviously I am generalising and I'm sure there are decent guys who book for quickies but I'm not comfortable offering these appointments unless they are a trusted regular.

Plus being as I only see two guys max at my incall location a day it wouldn't be financially great for me. I prefer 1-3hour bookings but still take half an hour sometimes.

Advance scheduling doesn't always work like I planned a week in advance getting my nails done. This morning three wanted including an outcall who rang a few times after to plead with me. The last few days things have been getting in the way but now will make myself more available.  It's a good job regulars like coming back to us through the quieter period.

I actually get more bookings during the day than I do at night. Most being incalls. The occasional outcalls I get are usually a fri/sat evening.

The days seem to work better though-at least for the more local clients. Usually in their lunch hour or on their way home!!

Saturday nights are quite rubbish but britains got talent followed by the voice (in the uk) have totally entertained me!!

Apologies. I think this job can be rather isolating at times and I think some of us could do with a general off topic thread, as sometime we feel the need to talk bollocks with those who also do the job?
Ditto that.X

Folks, we all know this thread is boring repetitive bollocks but that is not a reason to make it boring off topic bollocks. Stay with the general theme, please.

EDIT: For the benefit of newbies, themes generally include one, more or all of the following: sporting events, weather (too hot/too cold/too rainy), bank holidays, day after bank holiday and punters too busy back at work, school holidays/too busy after end of school holidays, too far from payday, too near to payday, traffic jams, strikes, acts of God and bad mobile signal :).
ha! Will no longer talk bollocks!

I notice a drop compared to the usua. Especially with the time wasters increasing at weekends is enough to even consider  monday-Friday with an even more sain probability. Does anyone else experience something similar?. It seems like the bored are more active over weekends.

I find that  Friday evenings are drunken idiots calling time, and Sunday afternoons are bored idiots calling time. So I switch my mobile off on Friday at around  5- 6, then switch it on again on Monday morning. I've never, ever, made a successful booking on a weekend, but I get contacted by email by genuine clients.

The positive it made me do was book in with a photographer some thing kept putting off for ages. I think they go on holiday avoiding the parades in June over Northern Ireland. I always notice a drop in clients but when they get back all horned up. What a good result. :)

I have no idea, but my phone has been silent since Sunday.

This week every client who's seen me previously wants me at a time I'm not available, and those booking the time when I am aren't following through.

Hmmmm. I have chance for a break coming up so wondering if I should extend it! I'm sure things will work out somehow. ;D

I have found that when stayed in the majority of the time nothing, was on it lasts legs. But now have started outside activities on a regular basis things are picking up. Waiting for business doesn't always happen when wanted as tempting fate doesn't always work.

Same here. I haven't been out on a Saturday for aaaages. I also never really get any serious enquiries on Saturdays, it's my chill out day. So planned to go out last Saturday, made plans with the girls, and headed into town.
Guess what? I had 2 regulars wanting to meet Saturday evening, just when I happened to be out for the first time in months at a weekend. And lots of emails. Sunday came- absolutamente nada.

I'm between Glasgow and Edinburgh and today you would think my phones had switched themselves off.  I keep checking them to see if they haven't.

The weather is gorgeous (for a change), Nadal is playing Djokovic in the tennis and its a day when we meet up with mates for a chat etc but ............................. you would think they want a shag too.

Ive had a handful of calls since 10 am and not one near booking.  At least Im getting to see the tennis too.  ;D

It's been dead all week up north for me! A few emails/texts and that's all. In the past week I've had one half hour and that was it. Good thing I don't rely on this to pay rent! I've even put a special rate on, updated my profile and added a few naughty pics.. Still nothing. Starting to feel a bit desperate.

It's been fairly quiet here but I am doing ok with my regulars and really reluctant to take on new clients - the drop out rate is too high, when I've got limited hours due to ventures into pastures new, and reliable regulars wanting that time.

Also got time off and will be further limited whilst I have some things done around the place in a few weeks. Can see sod's law will be working overtime, plus a few moans BUT I have warned folk.

Hiya

I was with an agency a couple of years ago and I got about 5-7 jobs a day. Now I've been back in the industry for about 2 months, I'm with 2 agencies and counting, I have my own website which I spend hour marketing on directories, sometimes at 12 hours at a time, I do banner exchanges with other escorts and I'm on Adultwork but I'm lucky if I get 2 jobs a week!!!!

Whats going on? Is it slow at the moment or is it me? I have girlfriend in the industry and they're doing fine on just one agency.

I'm 20, curvy, natural breasts, English, a great kind, friendly fun personality and been told I'm a Michelle Keegan and Tulisa look-a-like. Its really getting me down and feel I'd be better off going for a job at Primark!

I'm feeling so low and this is my only way of income. I just need some reassurance or advice.  :-[

I don't know what you're doing wrong newbabe, I would have to take a look at your site, your ads etc... and see were the problem is. Ask for honest feedback to your regulars and trusted friend escorts in order to get an objective opinion.
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: AA on 17 June 2013, 03:39:20 pm
Hi Rose,
Don't shoot me but just had a quick look and you did ask for feedback...

I see you're marketing yourself as a courtesan (nothing wrong with that) but it does mean higher standards are expected in every aspect.

I think you need to look at the following...

1. I noticed a couple of minor spelling mistakes.
2. I'm not sure whether your age (20) really fits in with typical courtesan image - think you need to really sell it more or leave your age out completely.
3. You're asking for a rate of 250.00 yet you're using a free website and your photos don't look like they belong in Vogue.

I don't think your rates are unrealistic but there are hell of lot girls out there charging a lot less for the same things so you really need to stand out and emphasise your USPs more than you're doing at the moment.

I also think it might be an idea to draw attention to any feedback/field reports you have, 250.00 is a lot to ask someone to spend without much reassurance of what they can expect in return.

Good luck  :)

The advice above is just my opinion, it could be totally off the mark. See what others have to say.

Suffice to say there's a market out there for everybody but the marketing has to be right. 
I notice you have a blog which is great for increasing the Google ranking of your site so make sure you keep up to date with that.

I'm finding the past couple of months really difficult. Last week was okay but I have literally just managed to scrape up enough for my bills. I work with an agency in West Yorkshire and apparently a lot of the other girls have been complaining about the lack of work too. I would go back on adult work but I had too many time wasters and I can't compete with some of the prices on there (?60p/h are you kidding!?!?).
It's driving me insane. My roots are getting horrendous  ;)

Post by: ana30 on 18 June 2013, 03:08:47 am
Hi rose,

(Please don't hate me as I'm going to be honest)

- Site looks too "generic", like you're part of some agency and they did a profile for you. Personalize it much much more. Give it a "punch", invest more time in the design (keep in mind that you are in an extremely competitive area so you're going to need the extra effort in marketing yourself).
-I miss a nice flattering photo of you in the home page in order to hold my attention and  want to go through the rest of the site (sorry, I'm thinking like a man now).
-You say you're 20 (which is very young) but those pictures don't do you justice and make you look much older. I would get better quality new photos that emphasize your "young age". Some very professional "next door girl" type pics.
- Remove the word "courtesan" out  as it makes you look older. You're 20, you're a  student, market yourself that way.
- You can't charge 250 and have a free website that looks like it took you 10 minutes to make (sorry for being so raw).Overall the website needs a lot of work and new pics  if you're planing to charge those rates).

One of your photos isn't blurred, and yes they do make you look older. If you are older then say so and sell that image, if not then market yourself more appropriately. Oh and get rid of the free sex ads.

And yes I am very tired - Mondays I dont get up til lunchtime.  I work in my real job fri - sun 15hrs a day - have a hospitality business.  Have another business that is managed by someone else and I oversee and direct - but mainly runs itself.  This leaves me Mon-Thurs to play and also very late night at weekends - for relaxation - lol.  Just a shame that my businesses are in the industries worst hit by the recession.

Realistically my jobs are mainly hour ones - do get the odd dinner date 4hr one so its actually not much time.  I am lucky enough to have built up a good base of regulars, so I find the escorting lots of fun.

Hey, call me an adrenaline junkie.  Can't help but keep busy.

Hi Rose :)

I think it's just bad for everyone at the minute. I'm with an agency, and when I started, I was like you getting three jobs per day/night. Personally, I think there are a few things to consider;

-New girls on the scene. Some men are like kids in a sweet shop. They love variety and want to try everything! There are loads of new girls on the agency, and I'm lucky if I even get one booking a week now.

-Recession (you probably new this anyway). Sadly, some guys just don't have the spare cash nowadays. The determined ones though will always put some aside for this though. One of my clients I saw last November said this could last at least another 5 years yet sadly.

Don't lose hope though. Keep positive :)

Adult work is going down hill bit by bit as a main source of punters. The majority on there are time wasters. At least have two site to advertise on. I must be now on at least 5.


the best thing to do in this game is to live your personal life in between bookings. That way you don't have time to worry about custom on quiet days. It'll all come in good time, tempting fate rarely happens. If you want some thing so much and nothing happens this is why because tempting fate rarely works. Remember though updating advertising on a regular basis helps.

I gave up with it a long time ago. I was getting at least five times as many time wasters as real enquiries, and apparently it's getting steadily worse. Also clients are saying that most of the profiles on AW are fake. I get some enquiries from other sites, but mostly from local papers. It's turned full circle because that's how I started. AW was good for about three years. The internet has become very poor. I used to put ads a couple of times a week on sites like craigslist and usually got two or three from that. Not any more.

Adult work is going down hill bit by bit as a main source of punters. The majority on there are time wasters.

I didn't use the available today feature for a while so was getting less time wasters noticing a drop. As soon as showed, they cam flooding in millions. Adult work is good for my feedback to refer them to as on EI only got three. Mainly viva brings me the most traffic.

Yup Amy - I am in Glasgow and it's all same-day generally short notice bookings. If I get a request for more than 24 hours in advance , or even for the next day I take it with a huge pinch of salt! But if you go on AW or classifieds and advertise as "Working Today Please Call" it is really quite busy.

Totally agree, I only take advance bookings from regulars I know or via the booking system - "Same Day Bookings Please Call" on AW on the days I am working works like a dream, been very busy this week had to turn away.

Hi inna

I never use the 'Available Today' feature, I never found it worth the money, but I always use the 'Local Escorts Search' on days I am working AND put "Same Day Bookings Please Call" in my strap line header and it works a treat !

All tickety boo here.  I thought things would be quieter today as it is a local bank holiday so I was pleasantly surprised that the  four bookings a day I have cut down to were totally filled by 11.30 am today.  Then I had to wonder if they would show but no problem in the end.  All showed up on time and I had a nice early finish.  Ive even got some booked in for tomorrow already and I don't like taking advance bookings, even just the day before but this little older guy was so chuffed when I took his booking tonight.  Now he better call to confirm tomorrow or I will not be a happy bunny.

so true,there's never a happy medium. So far I've had nothing this week, dunno if its due to my limited hours (I'm on midday-6pm today) but i cant work any longer than that in this heat, its such hard work trying to stay sexy when you're boiling alive. Pretty worried though,hope i get something this week.

Has anyone else found during this hot weather a severe decline in work? I am! I was planning to work a new town next month, but I'm now concerned I may find the same thing & not cover my travel costs! Not only that I'm worried I may not see the area in a true light. Unsure if I should wait until September when the heat will be less intense.

Also I was chatting to another local escort in my area, whom is from London & she says she never works August when the kids are off, because it is too quiet with family's going on holiday on so on. Is this something else I should consider before I plan to move towns?

I think most places are feeling the pinch with the nice weather.

They are saying that the weather is going to continue for some time so I don't foresee a lot of difference in the number of visitors, no matter where we are.

It is local holidays in part of Scotland just now and it is even quieter than normal too so that hasn't helped either.  When children are off school numbers do go down.  I think a lot of it has to do with guys and gals sharing the parenting and guys having to take the time off work during the hols to look after the children and therefore not having the freedom to visit us.

My bookings are strong at the moment, but there are more men who are looking for quick relief than in normal weather.

August is always a quiet month compared to normal. I wouldn't try and establish a new client base then.

The worst part of this is that it is causing a lot more traffic for very little return.  Many girls aren't willing to put up the extra traffic in order to maintain discretion and anonymity.

Guys couldn't give two flying fs about that though but are first to ask "is the place discreet". 

Many of the girls wont do bookings of under one hour for this reason, its just not worth the hassle.

If I stuck to hour or longer bookings I would get about a quarter of what I am doing now. Most of mine are regulars and the majority don't cause a problem. I wouldn't like to have all newbies again.

Taking a break for a long period loses the popularity because those interested most probably moved on. This is what I think what would happen to me if I took a break. Getting established is so much hard work from the beginning, it is all about proving being genuine. Well it was and still is for me even after 2 years doing this. Well not so much on aw now. But EI with only 4 reviews at the moment, the sceptics question every thing and any thing. Even those I wouldn't consider to be a vital question determining escorts if they're genuine. Questions like why are my prices compared to majority.  So now on EI feels like am needing to put in extra hours during personal time building a good return. So feel like a newbie all over again on there. I just refer the sceptics to AW to my feedback. Saying then you would be able to answer your own question.    All the time for me is hard work. I have regs  but am concentrating on the newbies as the newbies sure will enhance my business. That is the way I see it.

This is the first August I'll have worked as I always buggered off for summer before.

However what I'm wondering is if August will pick up more than July for the women saying its been slower for them in this heat. I mean this is good old Blighty, the weather isn't going to continue for much longer ;D so I'm thinking the clients that have buggered off on their jollies in the meantime will have August when its going to be cooler and another pay day.

Sincerely,

Optimistic

I think, apart from the weather the school holidays have a big bearing on how business goes.  This is why some girls will be busy and others quiet.

Schools in Scotland went on holiday around 26 June and things have been quieter since then.  With both parents working now many guys have to take days off work to look after children and therefore can't visit, though I have had one guy turn up a while back with a child in his car.  He was going to leave the child in the car while he got serviced. :o. Fortunately having full view of his vehicle this was averted and he was refused a booking.

Schools in England have not long finished and the quiet time for them will probably be August as this is the full month schools there have off.

It's all a case of working out holidays etc and see if there is somewhere better you can be (if you can be bothered).


Edit :  Just to say, HAVE English schools stopped yet.  Just realised my mistake when reading over posts.

Have you taken any steps towards going indie SC, then you will have more control over your life and will know when you can go away for the day and when it is best not to.  Then you are not answerable to anyone either, bar yourself of course. ;D

I think it depends - I'm still reasonably busy ( no where near like it used to be ) but business is still ok for me the majority of the time even though I'm often away touring my regs still one and visit me wen I'm back -  I think I depends on where your located and how much you can work as well  Last week was very quite but then one day turn't the whole week around  into a very good week

Anyone else not had much luck recently or just me?
All of last week i didn't get one single booking and only 2 the week just gone. I got a regular on Tuesday then today talk about bad luck. Had a booking which went ahead but then had 2 lined up after him, no show either of them then had an out call tonight which wasn't even in my city, about 20/25mins in the taxi which cost me ?21 altogether only for the little wanker not to answer his phone or the intercom for his apartment, was supposed to be a 2 hour booking as well so was fuming. What is wrong with these guys. Luckily my agency were really nice about it and told me to keep the taxi fair from the fee i owed her from the earlier booking which i thought was really good of her. God i hope things improve, never had such a dead 2 weeks not to mention the amount of timewasters.

Its been pretty much steady for me. The odd very quiet day, the odd very busy day but everything in between is the same as usual. The heat has been killing me a bit but I counteracted that with ice cubes for me and them after the fun.

Girls who are having a quiet time at the moment. How well known have you made yourself, there are other forums too where more guys post and they do often book the girls they have been chatting too as it feels more personal. Are you on twitter? I put pictures on twitter the other day and had two guys call just from those pictures. I know a lot of girls think its handing your business to others but its  really not.

I think nowadays you need to be all over the internet like a rash unfortunatley but hey, its good to chat isnt it. There is one forum that is very down on escorts though so pm me if you want to avoid it, most girls Im sure will know which one i mean already xx

Nah don't have twitter, i rarely go on the computer these days cause i just don't have time but it seems to be slowly picking up again. I've got an outcall at 10pm tonight for an hour and yet again it's in a different city so i swear to god, if this is another time waster i'm through with going out of my area.

well i got a driver tonight so luckily no waiting around for taxis. Was pretty rushed and i looked like I'd been dragged through a bush backwards after the first client but like always, i managed it some how. On my way home now and my bed is definitely calling my name.

Hmmm Im hoping its just the weather or maybe summer holidays but for a few days things have been very quiet. But yh its just how it goes I guess..It cant be busy all the time. I havent been feeling too well so Im not too bothered but as its going to be nice weather Im gona work this weekend. I think when the weather gets hotter more late night bookings come in and as I usually clock off at 11pm it might seem like things are slower  :-\

Yes, it's suddenly become slow for me. I've been very busy until about a week ago, but it's dropped off more than I've had happen before. I'm not worried but it's very strange and I'm wondering why. My sig other has also gone a bit moody, is there something in the air.

That's probably because many private galleries on AW these days are scams. The profiles only exist to take PG fees. Clients have got wise to this and I've heard it from several of them in the past couple of months. If you look at the turnover of recent profiles it's very high. Many are there only a few days.

And there is no confirmation that the bookings you have taken for Monday will confirm or show.  Ive found out that guys that "guarantee" you they will be there on such and such a day will disappear into the woodwork once you arrive.  There is nothing more sure.  :(

You are better to do a deal than to drop prices as clients will wonder why you are dropping prices and if you then put up again will be asking why again.  Remember its guys we are dealing with, they are easily confused.
Many girls, myself included, do a special price before 4pm or 5 pm and then it goes back up to normal price.  Its up to you though.

I agree about punters who actually say stuff like this - it's right up there with 'I'm not a timewaster' ::). But if your hotel is cancellable up to say 12 (or if you're lucky, 4pm) on the day, just make sure everybody confirms before a certain time on the morning and then you'll have a good idea - I can't remember the last time I had somebody who confirmed on the day not turn up. I give 'em between 8 and 9am to ring normally depending on where I am, and it works fine :).

I   don't ever take advance bookings when i tour  because its generally those that mess you about , fuck up your day and piss you off
unless the booking fits in with my time i.e. i arrive at 2pm and they want to see me at 3.30pm otherwise its same day appointments all the way for me

I might make an exception for a very good reg but depends on various things

And yes its dead, i find that one day dead next day busy  this week has been ok for the amount that i have worked  but i messed up because it was quite on monday so was being lazy on tues wed which had i had my knicker in place i would have been very busy as missed a lot bookings and same for today  so kicking myself but such is life 
tomorrow is another day

I have a permenant early bird offer between 10am and 11.30am, its pretty popular, I have noticed one off discounts for a few days dont really bring any more in, it just means Im earning less from the guys who were probably going to make a booking anyway so Im not bothering anymore.

I am really worried as I have had no work in well over a week, and only saw one client before that.

I am not sure if I am just overly worried right now as I only have a few weeks to go in uni before I qualify. But I am having to pay hefty bills and don't have a job in Edinburgh at present.

What with the sauna closures etc, I am worried work is drying up completely in Edinburgh. Thanks to the shitty Commonwealth Games in Glasgow next year, I fear the stupid authorities are trying to "tidy" up.

I did manage to get one booking in the agency flat tomorrow, with, low and behold, the Pretty Woman client. However, I'm going to take it; it's for a few hours, so big bucks to be made. I was told tonight that the girl who has been letting her flat out to us in Edinburgh has stopped doing incalls. So that's even less work for me.

A few guys (not clients) have asked me out, but I've put it off. No one would ever understand what I do. I had an ex friend text me the other day out of the blue (a guy who was trying to get freebies by asking if I wanted pics done by him- randomly!) and when I said no, I got all the "nothing but a common diseased prostitute" crap. I don't think I could ever give up this work :(

Feel at a bit of a loss  :-\

Sorry you're having a hard time right now. Things are slow all over right now and I know that isn't much comfort but hopefully it'll pick up in a couple of weeks. I normally try and stick a couple of new ads and blogposts up if things aren't as busy as I'd like, I don't know if you've tried that already?

I also just wanted to mention that there are people out there who will be okay with your work: I have a very supportive partner who knows everything and many of my sex worker pals also have accepting partners and lovers. It's not easy, because stigma is a bitch and gets into everyone's head. It has to be worked on, for sure. Maybe seek out some sex worker community and allies in scotland if you can and you haven't already, it's great to meet others in the same boat.

Hi there,
I'm an Edinburgh lassie but independent and take incalls. I can tell you it's quite busy. I think especially because of the pending sauna closures. Have you considered working for yourself instead of an agency?

Ive read and reread your thread and apart from saying how slow business has been I cant see anything else that cant be discussed here.  This is probably how the mods read it too and why they have added it to this thread.

If you have another question you need answered (which I may have missed) then I would just put it in another thread, its that simple, no need to go heading banging yourself.  ;)  It will only hurt more.  :(

I think you said it in that one sentence ... "in general" .....................

I think most people get a bit fed up if/when work doesn't come in and we just got to deal with it and get on with life until things change.  For independents we have to look at our advertising and see if we can better it/change it, but for agency workers there aint a lot can be done apart from calling them to see if anything else is coming in or sitting pretty in hope business turns.

The boyfriend thing has been discussed so many times now ...................................... guys will always be guys and many a time a twat as well, we either learn to deal with them or avoid them.

Are the raids having a big effect? I would have thought you would have picked up more work if you are based in that area.

I read quite a disturbing account earlier which I had a link to tweeted to me. If you google this it will take you to it.

Sweet Cheeks if you are an independent worker and getting the run around you really need to sort out your security procedure.  It shouldn't have happened to you once, never mind twice.

If you are an  agency worker then I would be having a word with them and deducting lost monies from their cut.  Agencies just don't seem to do security procedure and let girls waste their money, its really not on.

It was in call  :)

Thing is you can't guarantee anyone will turn up so if you have transport costs they have to be accepted. Can you not use public transport, have set hours in which you'll be there then you aren't forking out on taxis at the last minute?A good confirmation and screening procedure is well worth concentrating on even if it means turning down bookings. Better a missed booking, then accept one that does turn up then running around clocking up costs on the off chance someone will turn up.

Surely one of the few benefits of being with an agency is to cut out all that crap with tw's etc. They have got to do something to justify taking their cut from your earnings!  If the agency are costing you money and not making you money (as well as putting your safety at risk by blatantly not having decent screening/confirmation procedures) then you should really think about working for yourself. Especially if you are paying for your own pics.

I say f*ck em, don't let them have any of your pics or have any right to them and use them to go inependent.  8)

Many girls go with agencies because they don't have incall availability of their own or just want to do outcalls and save on the stress of taking calls etc.  IMO it is a false sense of security, but each to their own.

Agencies, to the best of my knowledge, carry out NO SAFETY PROCEDURE SCREENING.  AFAIK they just give girls the details of the client and location.  Ive read some horror stories on here re what has happened to them.  The girls are not usually (AFAIK) not even given a contact number, not even a mobile number, so if they get lost they are well and truly up the Clyde without a paddle. 

As most of us here are independent and don't have to put up with the hassles of an agency, we don't hear all the horror stories, or the downsides of agency work, but it do exist, whether we like it or not.

What do they get their money for ?  Apart from handing over a name and address (hotel or home) I have absolutely no idea.

I've had a very good August, beginning of June was very, very, very quiet but everything picked up July and August. In fact from the moment I altered my availability, which I had thought would make things worse. It didn't and I got to see quite a few new clients I wouldn't have normally met on usual hours.

It's been extremely interesting.

My friend [removed] has just started working openly rather than by word of mouth... so she starts work on a AW profile by putting in some text etc... so NO photos NO Feedback... NO Phone number...

In three days she has had more than 400 emails and enquiries ... now she has put up some homemade photos.  I know she is "new" but really...

She saw her first AW client yesterday... 20 mins after leaving after a 1 hr appointment the guy is calling back asking to come back for a second hour... !

I could spit...

She is a Naragvadhu and really sweet and pretty but wtf...

Otherwise everything is Surbiton seems to be picking up...

That is quite normal when you are new Inna, when I started many years ago the same thing happened to me but you will find out, although she has seen a few clients, that 99.9% of the guys will be timewasters who are just using the 'notify me when someone new joins' feature on the site.
 
I was in my 50's when I started and im no stick insect so being young, fit and pretty cant be used as an excuse.  Even if she doesn't manage to filter the wheat from the chaff at first she will do in the end, even if she has a few no shows.

I would advise her though to not spend a lot of time replying to what appear to be 'eejits' as that can be very time consuming and if she is going to be busy she cant afford to be wasting time on timewasters.

I wish her all the best.

I think I'm experiencing the slow death by AW!
I'm unbelievably poor this month, I've lowered my hourly rate by ?20, put up a few selfies and changed my description bar at the top to try and drum up some interest but it's just not working, I'd like a booking before Friday but nothing. Going out of my mind! :FF
I know an full-time lady came to my town on a tour recently for a couple of nights so I didn't expect any bookings while she was here but I was hoping now she's gone I'd attract some clients ???
Any tips would be appreciated, I don't want to lower my rate any more, maybe a few more pictures?

How about doing a funny/witty/sexy blog? I find blogs a great way of generating interest and I always notice an increase in calls after posting a blog.

Also if you don't already have a website then you should definitely get one. Most of my business comes through my own site and it means I'm not at the mercy of Adultwork. Punternet SPD is also a great source of bookings for me but I find you really need a couple of field reports before guys notice you on there. Good luck  :)

If you are in the area I think you are in I know another lady not too far away who didn't get the business she wanted when by lowering her rates. My advice to her was to create an image and get marketing.

thanks Alisha for the advice, I've been looking into setting up a site for ages but always thought no one would ever go on it, but I only advertise on AW so I won't know til I try :)
Strawberry - I am in the area you think I am, I am having a think about how to create an image but I'm not sure if it'll change which clients I attract because I get quite a mixed variety of older gents who want companionship more than anything and younger chaps who are more into the sex. I enjoy seeing both but don't want to cut myself off from attracting them :(

thank you both for the advice though, I will try to do something to help myself rather than wondering why my work has dried out :)

Absolutely agree with Strawberry on this , think of what's unique about you

Ie if your English / British  highlight this ( lots of guys moan the lack of genuine British / English escorts  so every time you post mention this. I alway use the words British busty  ebony escort blah blah ... Have it as your signature ect.

If your busty or petite or very tall ect again they can be very good selling / unique points

Get a website and start adding yourself to forums , directories ect link/ swop banners  with other escort in your area to build up its profile

Look at what local forums are in your area and start posting and advertising on them
Ie Manchester you have little black book

Yorkshire and Leeds you have wswg forum and advertising  ( or something like that) but theses forums have several thousand members that are active on them ect

If your in that area of the north west then I would defiantly start adding my website to these sites and paying to advertise on them or at the very least start posting in the forums every week answering threads and stuff

Keep your aw site, have your own  website and put your aw profile within the website ect , they don't have to be interlinked,   you could just have a link to your private gallery of adultwork on your site or your whole profile ect    your clients that see you now via adultwork still will. 
But by having a website of your own will increase your business  and  your widening your target audience ect
when you search for escorts in most cities adultwork doesn't even get mentioned or come up but sites like punterlink punternet viva st backpage do
Not every guy knows about adultwork  i bet but most of them know how to search for london , bristol Scottish escorts on google,  So by having a website you would / should be increasing your work

Put it this way . Every little helps and it won't do you any harm

I feel the same way. I had a super busy September and was really happy but last week everything came to a halt suddenly. I've had an incredibly slow week starting last Saturday. I blame it on the rain and the football season in TV.

I've most enquiries coming from regulars, and via my own website hardly anything new from AW.  I do have less availability due to commitments/things developing outside of prossying, but the bookings seem to be fitting into that time, filling it up nicely. I had a very quiet time in the first half of June, but like I say ever since I changed my hours, things seem to be ticking over just fine. I also have decided to be stricter with my phone and turn it on a lot less, and also being a lot more straightforward with new enquiries which is working out just fine. Getting to the point a lot more!

Maybe finally AW is no longer top dog for escort advertising  ;D

Post by: Cassidy Star on 20 September 2013, 02:00:50 pm
I do believe that unfortunately adultwork have shot themselves in the foot by allowing far too many fake profiles over time, and guys have become a little tentative about trusting the genuine girls.

We have timewasters to deal with, and guys have girls who are fake to deal with etc.  It's a let down to both sides. 

Some girls also tick that they escort when they just wish to sell galleries etc, so their profiles are fake too.  Ticking the escorting box allows them to get noticed more.

This is where full escorting sites are better for us girls who just wish to remain an independent offering only escorting services.  Adultwork deal with everything from webcamming to escorting etc.

Was having this discussion with a publication, I don't find my business really reflects the monthly pay day cycle. Perhaps the clients I see tend to be more careful with their money, plan their visits, or have to go with windows of opportunity. I think it's a mixture, and so I no longer plan around this phenomena. Still find February half-term dead so might try and use that in some way in 2014.

What part of California? That's where I'm thinking of heading!

It's been really weird lately this month. I was very busy couple weeks ago during all the rains and floods in Colorado...lots of last minute calls from visiting clients...and then 1 client I met before had me over and decided he wanted to have me for an overnight which I KNEW I would regret saying no to, but had to. And haven't had an appt. since

And now, it seems things are slow because while I'm out traveling, people aren't booking correctly. This whole trip, clients have been texting and emailing me, but then once I got into town, everybody is saying they are leaving town  :FF  It's like, why didn't you tell me that in you response instead of waiting to the last fucking hour before you leave. Irritates me.

Now, I been having to re-formulate a way to get people to tell me their entire week's schedule so I'm not rushing down someplace only to have the end up going out of town. It's a bunch of bullshit

I agree and I've always found December to be a good month. I don't really work much in January unless I'm away somewhere - I did two weeks in Ireland at the start of this year and it was good, but I stayed at home the year before and just did the bare minimum seeing regulars and whatnot and I'll probably do the same for the next one.

I've got two holidays booked in February and the only work I'll be doing is my regular London tour at the start - that half term holiday truly is the pits >:(.

I agree with ParisB...its the porn. I honestly don't know how porn stars are making any money (and they probably don't know how we're making any money either lol...unless they do both). There's so much free gay porn out there, and the internet is just filled with them.

Guys watch porn, beat off...and their desire to hire an escort is suppressed a bit unless they really have the money to spend. Maybe I should do like the internet porn sites: Have my rates as $1, and then get them in, take the dollar and give em 20 seconds of pleasure and then stop em and say I want $1,000 to continue lol...

Everything just seems different now. It's hard to tell because you think nobody wants to hire or have money to hire, but then let a natural disaster occur and then guys start coming out the woodwork! It's happened twice this year. One was a tornado ravaged town and the other destroyed by floods. Guys realize that life can vanish in a second and start blowing money lol. I'm going to start keeping an eye on the news for now on and travel to areas where these occur. Usually, it's rarely the entire city...rather small outskirt locations away from the city. Unless it's a hurricane...

Must agree with a former posting mentioning hidden feedback - or are we both paranoid? LOL

I agree with ParisB...its the porn. I honestly don't know how porn stars are making any money (and they probably don't know how we're making any money either lol...unless they do both). There's so much free gay porn out there, and the internet is just filled with them.

Whenever I've looked back amongst feedback of guys who appear to be TW, or at least never quite get around to booking, I see fresh webcam feedback - all saying what a lovely person they are................even worse there'll then be a negative from a lady they dicked around(and I believe it because I've already sussed them out as a TW). Really don't know why these guys need to do this (the TW thing), I'm in that sort of mood where I might actually confront a few people this week! ;D

Tell me about it! I've just started back again after summer and I'm looking at 1 or 2 outcalls a week which tbh will keep me ticking over okay since I only do this part time anyway but I've a lot of money to pay out soon in rent ect and I'm just so eager to get money by me. Also, I had 5 potential bookings over the past week for various dates and all of them cancel on the "Can you give me your full name so I can check you're actually at the hotel?" thing. I don't think they were TWs either, just be must used to seeing ladies that don't do checks like that. I pray for my regulars to get their finances back on track after expensive summers!!

I am beginning to worry TBH.  This is still my first year and everything has just dried up.  I've not had a booking for over a week....

Anyone willing to guide me a little or just talk it through please PM me or send me a link to any relevant posts?

I have put feelers out for a photographer to upgrade my photos (they need work anyway) and will be researching a website soon after that

It's gone cold as well - surely the single guys will be wanting someone to warm them up soon?????

I feel like a virgin at a swingers party.  Everyone else knows what to do and is having fun except me!

Hi, very new here but have been reading posts for a long time.

I had a booking via back page, first for over a week, he was a nice guy, no problems there but he did ask me where else I advertised, and of course my main place is adultwork. He said he was now wary to use AW as it was full of scams and he had a few bad experiences of late.

I was just wondering if AW has now lost the plot as my profile is deadly slow, oh plenty of timewasters and so called photographers looking for freebies but no genuine guys

What say you

AW is now going slower and slower, though this doesn't usually happen if you are new.

With so much unemployment in the UK and so many foreign visitors not being able to find work many are turning to prostitution and causing massive problems to others by saturating the market.  No one is a winner.

True but I still think it's possible to do ok, so long as you put a bit of effort in - into marketing, advertising, website & image.

You need to advertise yourself/site in even more places. Takes a good while for a website to become useful in terms of clients finding it via a web search rather than an advertising platform.

Google terms that relate to you, such as "blonde busty escort new york milf" (whatever would describe you and what you think clients will be using to google for an escort like you) and add your link/info to ALL the directories that appear on at least the first 2 pages.

Hope some of this helps :)

It's been so slow this month. Kid you not I've only come across 2 or 3 clients the entire month. I've been getting lots of inquiries but nothing has been going anywhere.

It's starting to drive me nuts...people have been emailing and calling making appointments and still nothing. Seen a couple of regulars and 1 new guy. I hate when people start playing these games like this. I'm 13 days behind my rent right now. I created a new website last week, but nothing has taken off.

It's almost become like an escort Apocalypse...Everytime someone messages me they keep saying my prices are too much and all I'm asking for is like $100-150 bucks as a discount. I'm not going to be charging 40-80 bucks for a session as that'll get me nowhere.

I'm running really thin, and have to go to the doctor tomorrow. I need a quick fix but nothing is coming in!

In Uk escorting is getting worst and worst. Agencies have a lot of girls and this make problem to the competition. For them is ok cause if they have many girls they can have preety good incoms but what about us like independents? I am really planning to visit Uk but i dont know where to start advertising.... I have lot of experience in Greek city tour market and i could help if any girl wanna tour there. . .

This month for me has been very slow in Reading. There are a lot of girls here, however it's not normally a problem.
I haven't even heard from my regulars, I'm just assuming that it because Xmas isn't far away.

A lot off effort for not a great amount of money, after fuel and paying for the room- but much better than what I have been making in reading lately.
I'm in caversham, rush hour time is generally always dead.
Maybe this area is getting saturated, lots of girls tour here and more EE's working here x

AW used to be so good, mixture of timewasters and good ones.
I must say since I signed up for alerts from AW, so as to see my competition, most alerts of new ladies have the red alert attached to them.
I can easily see why clients are put off and dont trust Adultwork with so much negative selling by them. Putting myself in my clients eyes, it is so easy to assume that all the profiles are fake

Plus, I just wonder if Adultwork is getting blocked by ISP's as the government want them to do for such sites and the guys do not realise it, be it at home or work
I know you can contact the ISP to unblock you but will these married guys or those at work actually do that, even if they can ?
The answer is --- we will never know

It is a roundabout way of shutting down this industry

We do know actually; Adultwork (and other adult sites) is blocked by parental control/family friendly filters which most people have elected to switch off and recent changes meant that people now have to actively opt out or have them switched on by default.

It was in the news a few weeks ago, and even in the event that Adultwork was shut down all together it would take an awful lot more than that to shut down an industry that has existed for as long as people have, so I wouldn't worry :).

Hi Amy, this is nothing to do with parental controls etc etc, I had a letter from my ISP stating that all adult sites would be blocked to me unless I contact them to remove the filter, as I live by myself it was no problem and the point I make is will married guys who use escorts tell their ISP to remove the filter or will the letter be read by his wife ??

Will companies where guys (employees) search and book escorts say YES to the filter removed, I think not

It maybe the oldest business in history but without the right exposure it will no longer work, phone boxes, illegal, newspapers, they dont allow so it all now relies on the net, and if blocked by ISP's the future looks very bad

I haven't had my ISP adult content blocked ever since with BT for about two years but have found an article here.   
http://www.  techopti.com/websites-with-adult-content-filtered-in-england/


I do wonder if this policy is implemented over here in Northern Ireland?. Once I find out this is in place here then can work on a solution.

It does usually get quiet this time of year any way but has come as a shock to say the least from a busy summer.


Update... It looks like it is the same here in NI. http://www.  belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/local-national/northern-ireland/david-ford-vows-to-include-ulster-in-porn-laws-29439702.html

Gemma have you thought about doing incalls one or two days a week from a hotel? I only offer outcalls and offered this for a short time to see how it would go and there was a lot more work. I just decided to stop because I didn't like working too hard lol. Now I supplement my ingoings by webcamming as well and it works out ok for me. Bare in mind that my outgoing are rather low compared to alot of people with not having children, very very cheap rent andx the likes. Perhaps going on tour might help?

Maybe get a part time job? The idea of offering incalls would help as well. Its true that nice hotel and serviced apartments can be quite pricey but maybe you could find a WG in your area or anywhere in the Uk really who has a room to rent on an hourly/daily basis that you could use for incalls?

Hi girls,
I saw many post here and I think I am only one escort which have no clients at all. I working in Canary Wharf for over 3 years and it was for me busy before but now I have a one client a day or none. I am really worry because all money which I made is just to cover my bills. Could you please let me know how to put my buissnes up? Is it every where that quiet or is just for me not good time.
I will be happy for any response and some ideas

Hi sorry to hear work is that bad.   Sometimes you can be a place to long and pays to move about if your able to.  Sometimes if you have a website etc it also pays to change or add new pictures.
Different things work for different girls and is at times difficult to pinpoint these things. 
Good luck.  Hope things improve..

It just depends really, you can get quiet days and periods like holly said about bonfire night. You will learn to save during the busy periods for when it does get quiet again. You will pick up trends when you get more calls during the year and when you don't.

The worst thing you can do is panic. I used to panic and dabble with my set prices and it just got so confusing. Best thing to do is try to promote yourself the best way you can get onto all the sites and wait for the calls. Maybe try webcamming or phone-lining as well if you can, might help boost your earning if you are comfortable doing that.

I only had 1 booking today and 2 yesterday, I have to say b4 the summer holls it was thriving, I guess ppl are holding on to their wallets after holidays  or are spending on xmas presents.

I don't know what you look like or how old you are but on some sites you can put yourself in boxes, eg bbw,ebony,tall,over 40 and  such, that can help target the men who would be interested in that one thing,  I was just on AW and then  found others I could advertise that men who like BBW use,do you have your own website? if so link each site to each other, Ive just started  a blog, not sure if that may help me.For me so far Monday's Fridays are the best ( I don't  work weekends)mid week has always been abit  rubbish. I hope it  picks up for  you x

How long has business been bad for? If a week or month then there's nothing to panic about, business comes and goes, it's up and down, and during the busy times you should be putting money in the bank to save for the quiet times.

I suggest in the quiet times you find some new places to advertise, add your web site link to more directories, get some new pics taken, write some blog posts, drop your prices or run some special offers. Search the forum for more tips and ideas, and read the thread "Slow at the moment..." to see that we all get slow/dead periods at some point :)

Hello girls. How is the work going? I start to worry as i work quite a bit now and i always had on average 50-100 calls a day... Now i am lucky with 10 calls and 1 person a day. My price is affordable for area i am in and i am also established. Does anyone experience similar?

I've never found January especially quiet, and when I have worked rather than taken time off it it's been OK. February has always been when it dips for me, although last year it wasn't that bad either bar the usual half term week.

Hi there,

I was wondering if anyone else is finding it quiet at the moment? I have been working from home and been finding it quiet. I was going to go on tour to Cambridge today and the phone wasnt ringing anymore than it does when working at home so I decided not to go as I didnt want to waste money and I was wondering if anyone else is finding it quiet at the moment? Does anyone know any good areas to go to?

Post by: alia on 13 November 2013, 08:03:10 pm
Hi Sophie,

Yes i think it is really quiet at the moment, i don't know whats happening out there, last year on this time i would've made easy 5-600 a day, now I'm struggling to make 400 a day, something that i find it very strange, in the start i toughed that was because I've been away for a couple of months  and i lost lots of clients, but this is going on for a while now. Plus i get sometimes one of the days when everybody wants to come in( like is something in the air making every man horny  :-\ )and after 3 days dead...

Wish i knew any good areas to work but doesn't seem to be any left, good luck finding a good place x
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Amy1984 on 13 November 2013, 08:14:33 pm
Hi Alia,

Thanks for replying. Well 5-600 a day is pretty good!! I find when I work at home some days I have zero days which is really crap and sometimes if I am lucky I might get one or two a day but thats nothing compared to 500 a day. I have had the odd day where I have earned 500 a day in areas but it doesnt seem to be guaranteed every day. I have found Exeter to be good for work and have had one or two days there where I have got close to 500.

I am not sure why its quiet at the moment. I was going to go to Cambridge today but the last few times I have been there its been quiet. I have only made 600 there in 3 days and thats before taking money out for expenses and my phone wasnt ringing any more there than what it was at home so I thought its a pointless going there as the phone be ringing more and less especially when you have expenses on tour to think about.

There is a long established thread on this subject you can check out:

http://www.saafe.info/main/index.php?topic=657.1995

I think its important to keep things in perspective - a lot of girls would think themselves lucky to earn ?400 a day, some are getting by on only a few bookings a week in this economic climate.  Also ?400 pw is more than some in civvy street earn in a week, let alone a day.

Even in a bad week I count my blessings that I do this job and am not stuck earning a pittance in an office like I used to.

I agree with the above comment,  when I get bored and work is slow I just try and remember the days when I would work a whole month for what I get now for just a few hours work,  it keeps me grounded and makes me feel grateful for my lot :)

As they say worse things happen at sea...

I think for me because of my personal situation I need money asap so I hate the fact the phone is not ringing. If there was not so much financial pressure on top of me I think i would be feeling much better about the whole thing and thanking my very lucky stars I am able to do the job I am doing.

Here someone in Amsterdam! Hardly had clients for the past 3 weeks. I searched the internet to see if there were any negative reviews about me. None. I don't know what's happening. I have a civy job, so I shouldn't complain. But have you girls experienced a sudden unexplainable drop in clients? And did it pick up after a month or so? Last year I was quite busy leading up to Christmas.

I just think the money isn't as great in escorting as it used to be.
More and more clients are probably struggling to fund their lives let alone have a spare ?130 for a booking.
I'm ticking along comfortably but I used to earn a lot of money a few years ago and never experienced quite points like this!
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: sammy s on 14 November 2013, 10:30:18 pm
Also I fear the escorting world may take a plunge for the worst over the next few years with more and more girls significantly lowering their prices due to desperation of needing money. I've already been thinking today about offering a lower price to my regulars to ensure they keep booking over winter.
Something I never thought I'd do

OMG, it must be true then. Because that's what happened to me the other night. 2 clients, 2 hotels, 2 outcalls. SAME NIGHT. I was only able to take 1 on them though. I say too it never fails, 2 real clients want to call at around the same time. I don't know why people like to chance their luck like that.

It is really quiet out there.

I was thinking it's just me because I am a newbie and need to gain some reputation to get more bookings but that's obviously not the reason.

Just hope I get a couple of bookings before Christmas, think somebody on this site mentioned that December is one of the most busy months of the year.

Might jinx myself here but I've been absolutely fine, I have like a few other established ladies here built up regulars over years and gotten myself known. I also have been used to not seeing client after client - and in my first few years had times when I wasn't consistently available, add this all together and I've been happy with what some might consider moderate levels of income.

In the last 6 months I've become much less 'available', partly as a result of activities around my incall place and because I've gotten involved in things external to my prossying business. At first it was a bit scary but all that's happened is my previous business has concentrated down into the hours and days I have available.

My opinion and advice is to create a solid image, get your own website and stick at it.

Some say reducing rates is the answer, I only ever found that attracted a couple extra faffers and texters who wanted to 'consider' my new rates(oh and could I cram this that and the other in and could I discount any further). At the moment I tend to attract those who really, really do want to see me.

Saying this what works for one might not work for another. All depends.

same here  while this  Year hasn't been brilliant compared to last year  its still not digging ditches in the cold so i cant complain  This week has been very very good for me  especially the yesterday and today   
Im going off touring from mid next week though for 2 week then home for xmas then another 2week tour then off for 4 week in jan /feb

 I find generally that because I'm not as avaiible in my home town as i tour when i am at home its fairly consistent with a lot of regulars and new people  so that keeps me ticking over   

Would absolutely hate to be starting out in this business now though  its way to unpredictable  for me

I have found its been an up and down time very recently. Its not that bad but its not quite as busy as I would like it to be. Its always like this leading up the the 2nd week in December here though. I have started already to get some long bookings booked in for next month and I have a feeling its going to be a good christmas, don't know why, just do.

Strawberry is right, if you build up your rep and already limit yourself to a certain number of guys who you are happy to see a day then its not really that hard to meet your target. I have days where I only see a couple of guys for half hour each or a couple for an hour each but other days in the week make up for that.

I wouldn't want to be starting out now either tbh. When I came back into it I was worried no one would even want to see me anymore but its the old chestnut that helps you to get them in and build a rep, advertise advertise advertise and get your name, number and photo everywhere.

Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: chloe37 on 30 November 2013, 01:34:10 pm
Yes, it is quite hard to start off at the moment, I've read through a lot of posts from 2011 and back then it was obviously easy to get decent bookings.

However, I've updated my profile on AW, punterlink, punternet etc. and the bookings are coming in slowly, I am more than happy with that. I have also started to take calls again, which I didn't want to do because I only got weirdos who called in the middle of the night or wanted sex talk, so stopped doing that. I just ignore them now and 2 of the calls I had since yesterday, turned out to be decent and I got 2 bookings  ;D

That proofs that even though it's hard at the moment, it can be done with some effort in updating profiles and being more flexible in how to take on bookings (mail, text, calls etc.)

Post by: sammy s on 30 November 2013, 04:32:26 pm
In 2007 I was earning an absolute fortune. 20 genuine bookings minimum per day would come through on AW and I would see 5 a day. I could also get away with charging ?170 per hour back then and guys would pay it without any complaints.
I'm lucky to get 5 genuine bookings per week now and my hourly rate is ?120. I have moved to an area that doesn't seem great for escorting though so that might have something to do with it. There's also far too much competition these days and a lot of the wealthier clients back in the day will have to be careful with money after the recession.
I'm finding this Christmas weirdly slow too. Last christmas I was very comfortable indeed. Hopefully it will pick up after new year and if not then we'll all just have to up our advertising or tighten our outgoings
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Lady_Lust_XXX on 30 November 2013, 04:39:00 pm
Sammy, I really don't think business has a lot to do with your location.  Business has really changed since those days with  many girls saturating the business thinking "anyone" can do the job which we all know is wrong.  It has made a big difference to lots of girls takings.

I for one would not like to be trying to start out now, four times as many girls as there was five years ago and roughly the same number of guys with less money  :(
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: sammy s on 30 November 2013, 04:50:48 pm
You're definitely right about too many women thinking it's an easy way to make a fast buck. I personally think it's a very challenging job and difficult to maintain a regular flow of good money. A good escort can detatch herself from the situation and give a great performance whilst also (the majority of the time) hopefully enjoying herself too. A lot of my regulars say they book inexperienced girls sometimes as they look great in their photos but the actual experience turns out to be dreadful because the girl is tense, unhappy, bored, naive or awkward with them.
I think we just need to treat our regulars well, up our advertising or take on a part time job if any of us are struggling in this current climate.
I don't have a phone number on my profile so I'm going to add one next week to see if that brings any extra clients in. And I'm also going to add some new photos and lower my prices by ?10 (not willing to lower anymore than that though). I might also try webcamming again for a bit of extra money and maybe massage only bookings too for cheaper than my hourly rates (I am trained in massage).
Lots of possibilities
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Nameless on 30 November 2013, 06:16:55 pm
I do beleive the area can make a difference.  The area I'm in currently does not seem great - its a mystery to me why some areas work better than others.  I've noticed a trend for not only the last week of the month to be slow, but also the middle week.  Has anyone else noticed this?

In a different area on tour I got a lot more interest (and that was on half term!)

Its also a mystery to me that........whatever paid advertising I take out, the only site that works for me is AW, this applies to ALL areas I've worked in.  Unfortunately AW does not seem great in my current area, so that means I'm quiet.

I've come to the conclusion that most national advertising works best in London, but patchily at best in many other areas.

I have to say that I don't think you have to be detatched/perform to be a good escort.  Personally I allow part of me to let go totally, which I beleive is what the clients like about me!

i think it depend on how you work   i have a permanent in call base and so i go there every day mon - fri and i stay there from 10.30am till around 6.30pm  and take a lot of short notice i.e. 30 mins notice appointments   Yeah there are quite days but overall if I'm working right then it even its self out at the end of the week  to excellent money generally



In the evening and weekends i will be at home and if they give me enough notice then i will go from my house to my flat to see people 

Virtually all of my appointments bar a few have been short notice  4 today were short notice  i.e. 30 mins - 1 hour notice  and pretty much the same for the week 

if however i was sat at home and waiting to go to my flat for a booking i would have probably only done half of what i did this week maybe only a 1/4 


Some areas are good some areas are crap   but what works for one girl might not work for another  you literally have to suck it and see

Hmmm re short notice bookings I think its right that they do bring in the most work.

 When I started properly last year as an indie I just wasn't organised enough to take on short notice bookings and plus I was so nervous as well so I insisted on prebooked appointments or failing that to be given at least an hour or more notice. Due to that I know I lost out on alot of business but Im glad I gave myself the chance to settle in and find my bearings so no regrets.

Now Im not so new and better organised and confident I am now a taking on alot more short notice bookings where this time last year I wouldn't have ever and things are going ok. But a big factor was because were and are for me the most requested type of booking. And clients who tried to book to see me upto 9 months ago and didnt get through then are coming through now...

I noticed the short notice bookings are usually more likely to genuinely turn up as well

However Im still not as organised as I would like to be to do so everyday but its getting there!

I take a mixture of advance and same day bookings, in the last few weeks 50% of the same day bookings have either cancelled last minute, or misjudged travel/window of opportunity times and been extremely late or there's been a lot of changes or not enough time to sort out directions, the drop out rate I find is the same as for advance bookings and the amount of changing around the same or higher than advance bookings. Perhaps it's my area I don't know but the travel/planning thing is the biggest problem, and the reason I prefer advance bookings - they get more time to work out the route rather than me trying to give directions whilst I'm getting ready, showered or whatever.

Hmmm re short notice bookings I think its right that they do bring in the most work.

 When I started properly last year as an indie I just wasn't organised enough to take on short notice bookings and plus I was so nervous as well so I insisted on prebooked appointments or failing that to be given at least an hour or more notice. Due to that I know I lost out on alot of business but Im glad I gave myself the chance to settle in and find my bearings so no regrets.

Now Im not so new and better organised and confident I am now a taking on alot more short notice bookings where this time last year I wouldn't have ever and things are going ok. But a big factor was because were and are for me the most requested type of booking. And clients who tried to book to see me upto 9 months ago and didnt get through then are coming through now...

Im the same half and half on the day and advanced bookings. I have noticed an increase though in half hour bookings who either cancel last minute or no show, as if its only half an hour so they are not that bothered right now. It used to be the case that the majority of my bookings were for hours but these half hours seem to be on the increase but only half of them arrive, its getting to the point where I feel like knocking them on the head other than for my couple of regular half hour guys but then what if the time wasters book for longer and still don't show?more time wasted. My 45 min and hour or longer guys always show up other than one particular silly guy who no showed me a 2 hour but I recognised his voice and last time he tried it I said "oh suuuuuuuuure you can" rather sarcastically and he hasn't done it since.

I have just moved apartments this weekend from the relative sticks as far as mk is concerned and into the city centre, I guess only time will tell wether i gain or lose because of this, its just cheaper all round for me regarding rent and travelling costs though so even if I lose a little I will stay the same x

I tried half hours several times but found like you they just had a higher probability of being late, chopping & changing, or not turning up. I also found a lot of half hour guys would take loads of texts to set up a booking, push the time, try and stay as long as they could and it was just spoiling the whole thing. To fix this firstly I tried charging a premium, didn't work so I started offering 45 minutes instead and do have one or 2 regulars who are reliable, easy to make arrangements with and genuinely only need 30 minutes who I accept half hour bookings from(one of which at a special rate but he's been seeing me for a very long time).

Had someone yesterday promise me he'd become a regular if I saw him for half an hour, I said ok well book the 45 minute option, turn up and if it is obvious you only need 30 minutes I'll discount you on future appointments. He didn't go for it.

Regards getting booked up, if someone truly intends mucking around they'll book whatever time they want to muck around with, not your shortest just because it's there.

It's been incredibly quiet for me the past 6 weeks compared to this time last year.  I am panicking a bit as what bit I've managed to put away was to see me through Jan and Feb, and I'm already dipping into it.  I take advanced and same day bookings, and it's not that they are cancelling, they're just not booking in the first place.  I feel like I'm banging my head against a brick wall trying to figure out why, but there's just no rhyme or reason to it.  I  really hope that this month picks up a bit to see me through the Christmas period and that Jan and Feb are better than what they were last year.

last week ( just gone ) was the busiest week that i have had in a long time  - due to a mixture of things really and not applying myself so much to working at home  its been really good week  don't get me wrong I've been ticking along nicely  prior to this   but this week was a nice surprise for me

I did a tour - a few weeks ago  the first proper one in ages where i stuck with it good day and bad day and thanks to some good advice from some ladies on here ( you know who you are ... )     it really boosted my confidence as it was really really good tour and i felt more like my normal buzzing self  but prior to this  i had a period of feeling blah blah Not due to  work but  Nothing major just not pushing myself and making silly choice to tour in places that weren't great

and i think i needed a holiday ( lol) which i did which was a bit like being on holiday with the cast of Jeremy Kyle show  seriously one woman had a tag on ( she had got special permission to go on holiday to Turkey while wearing a tag   ::) the was a potential serial killer kid and  i won at Bingo twice  so i think i got my mojo back 

But back on topic  i was just checking through my diary and i had 3 advance bookings  - i only take advance bookings for the mornings  at 10 -11 am and one for the evening  in the week other than that all the rest were same day with normally 1 hour or so notice which suits me much better than having my day / week planned out for me

Yet its only my half hours that regularly don't show and don't let me know. Other time slots don't really get messed around with. I used to do a 20 min quickie as my lowest booking option but they no showed and messed about so much that I stopped and now that my half hour is my lowest booking time they are getting the same treatment whereas when I offered the 20 min my half hours bookings were rare as hens teeth and when they did come along they always showed up.

Think I have just answered my own question there as Im typing, maybe advertise the quickies again but just say Im fully booked when someone calls for one. They just moved up to the next lowest appointment time.

I am about the same this last week as I was last year and it was my first week back in two years so Im ticking along. I usually find that december january and a week  or two into febuary are busy but come the last weeks of feb its slowing down a bit and march is just shite in the shitest way shite could be. Last march I think I did a couple of half hours or a couple of hours each day max and I was thinking "this is it chloe, this is your financial death throes" of course it picked up again in April but my god March is always depressing here.

I wouldn't be complaining at getting 2 hours a day max on a slow day.  I think personally if thats what its like when its slow, you should think yourself lucky.  There are many many ladies struggling to get only a few appointments a week, or worse.

For health reasons I cannot just pack in clients, I have to pace myself, so I would be unable to take advantage of say 6 clients wanting to see me in one day.  So again be thankful if you are able to do this.

But now it is just getting ridiculous!  One week I will do ok, then the next .....like last week will be utterly dire, I had 1.5 hours of bookings all week, my shittest week ever I think.  None of them were via AW, which seems to be dying a death in some areas, including mine.

I saw many post here and I saw you have a busy time in December. I live in London close to Aldgate east tube station and last time I have only one booking a day and sometimes not even that. I started worry about and if you guys have a busy time then why people complain to me I am too expensive? I charge 130? per hour and 80? per half of hour. I think I have also good location. Can someone tell me what I do wrong??

I know what you mean by aw sometimes. Regarding the number of client i class as quiet or busy I guess is dependent on personal circumstances and experience. Coming from working in the mk parlours 2 a day feels dire here plus i have a family that i support entirely on my own with zero child support and i have two premises to pay for , work and one to live in therefore 2 rents and 2 sets of council tax, bills etc. Its just not feasible for me to work from home as all of my teenagers are still here.

What I call busy though plenty of women call quiet and what i call quiet others call busy. Im not a spring chicken so I have my future to save for too when i will be getting on a bit an business will really possibly slow down. Its a worry

Believe me I do thank my lucky stars for every client that walks through my door, we all should with the competition out there nowadays x

There is nothing wrong with what you are charging, I charge that and I'm not in London. Sounds like some are just moaning as they would love you to drop your prices. I do special offers when its quiet by knocking my fee down to 100 an hour for a week x

The worst is it always happens when you actually need the money and it briefly flashes through your head "?50 is better than ?0"! After effectively the guts of 3 months off for family reasons (besides the odd regular), I'm hoping for an early Xmas present in the form of 5 3 hour long bookings - all with men who look like Clive Owen haha

The worst is it always happens when you actually need the money and it briefly flashes through your head "?50 is better than ?0"! After effectively the guts of 3 months off for family reasons (besides the odd regular), I'm hoping for an early Xmas present in the form of 5 3 hour long bookings - all with men who look like Clive Owen haha

Yes it is wierd how the TWs/idiots seem to have a radar for when you are quiet and need the dosh, then they come out of the woodwork to plague you.

Well he's probably telling the truth. He just neatly failed to mention the far higher number of ladies that told him to fuck right off, because he hasn't seen them ;D.

Hi girls
Does Christmas time slow down your buissnes or is just a me??


Personally i find the last week of Nov  ( i.e. last week - mega fucking busy ) this week and the next few week so so ish  and then a mad rush before Xmas itself when blokes realise that they will be spending 48 ++ with mother in laws, sister in law,  the wife and a turkey and no chance of a sneaky wank 

and anyway a wank is better than sock and pants  so they start searching for there own xmas gift

The period between xmas and new year is normally good as guys of work for several days and this continues up till the sprogs go back to school

Well ladies with this internet filter apparently round the corner i think those of us who don't advertise in paper content somewhere are going to see a drop of the size we have never seen before. Im putting my ad back into my local papers again and leaving them there. For all we know our own websites will be blocked and need changing and rewording to get around the block somehow although I for one don't know how. Adultwork will fall foul, this forum may also fall foul as well as all the others. I do hope not though x

There's a discussion of this in the Politics and Media section under New Internet Rules for those who want to debate it. It's worth pointing out (again) that far, far more people watch porn than visit prostitutes or prostitution sites, a large number also object to being told what they can watch and anybody else can just use a proxy or a smartphone.

There are countries with far bigger obstacles than a porn filter which hasn't even been clarified yet (as also discussed in the relevant thread) and punters still manage just fine :).

No I don't do it that way.

I reduce my hourly by ?10 i.e. to ?90 from mid Dec putting it back up to the usual price of ?100 in March.

Sometimes I reduce it over the summer hols too again putting it back to the usual in September.

I did not state I was putting it down more and more!  There is a difference.

Prices will vary according to region too.  So some areas may not need that rate or reduction at all if it is a very affluent region which alas mine isn't.

I've noticed a lot of texter issues in the last 24 hours. I do respond politely advising how to go about making an enquiry, but generally doesn't go anywhere fast. Amuses me how you inform someone you don't lie/do something they then carry on doing it, apologising each time. Simply desisting from the behaviour would be a lot easier and save having to say sorry over and over.

I agree with what you are saying as I never drop my prices, even if I work in an area where prices are lower.

On my web site I do promote an offer of a ?40 quickie, ?10 off my AW price, if they mention my site, but I do think that ?50 for a 15 minute quickie is probably high, as I charge ?70 for half hour. There are a lot of girls that advertise it for ?40 on AW profiles.

I have not yet had a booking this week  :FF I have some really nice presents planned to buy, but at this rate will be doing my Christmas shopping on a very tight budget. I have my fingers crossed for a last minute rush over the next couple of days before they all head off to spend the holidays with their families. That said the City seems quiet already, people may have already taken off. On the upside I have had my gym's swimming pool to myself the last couple of days  :D

I'm wondering if the rush is going to come at the weekend, Monday 23rd and perhaps Tuesday 24th. I always remember it being busy at this time of year but I'm thinking perhaps there will be a peak in Jan instead. It might be people have tightened their belts this year.

One thing I am noticing though is an increase in evening enquiries, as if the late night shopping is providing a nice cover for people.

for me (in Amsterdam) it's busy times. Just like last year. I provide femdom (light) and GFE and getting lots of emails. Mostly 2-hour bookings. Also clients from a long time ago wanting to see me before Christmas.
So I am not complaining and saving for Jan/Feb when it will probably be quiet.

Its hard to compare like to like as I was in a different area last year, but it definately seeems a LOT slower this December.  I'm seeing more guys wanting shorter bookings so I too think theres a lot of belt tightening going on.

I think the money in escorting isnt what it used to be. 8 years ago I could easil make triple of what I make now.
Don't get me wrong, the money can still be great with the right advertising and a bunch of regulars. The money can also be brilliant one month but awful the next. This unreliabilty and the fact so many of us are hardly getting any bookings anymore suggests escorting isnt actually much better money than working in a normal 9-5 low salary job.
The best way to avoid severe stress from lack of money in these hard times Is to get a part time job. You could earn ?700 a month just from working 3 days a week and you could then still escort on days off. Might take the pressure off if we all have that security blanket to pay rent and bills

The market has become super saturated and will only get worse, especially in my opinion with the new laws the government have introduced, where new e.u immigrant can't get benefits for 3 months/6 month payment stops e.t.c Plus now people are hearing the U.K is coming out of recession  more people will coming looking for work.

The is hope. In every ecosystem there will be growth to the point it can't be sustained anymore, it will decline. In other words, soon there will be sooo many escorts, that the income will become so low (supply and demand) that many escorts won't see it as a worthwhile income, many will look for alternative income. Just a thought.

Just hold on, the second income is a good idea, saving while in good times is very important.
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: sammy s on 19 December 2013, 04:16:19 pm
I had a week like this two weeks ago. Had 5 bookings and they all cancelled. I think clients are probably just feeling wary of how much they are spending before Xmas and end up realising they probably shouldn't be paying for such luxuries.
It's a shame as Christmas has always normally been a busy time.
At least we can remember this for next year and make sure we put money aside for the winter months throughout 2014. I'm definitely going to look for a part time job soon too just to make sure my essentials such as rent, food and bills are covered without any issues.
Hope it picks up for you over the next few days

Not everybody coming from Eastern Europe will wish to do escort work.

A number of girls have written saying they're thinking of looking for part-time work and I must admit I've thought of doing the same but the question is: what sort of work?  There isn't a huge amount around here (at least there won't be after Christmas) and the pay is so low I'd have to work days to earn what I'd normally earn in an hour or two.
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: sammy s on 20 December 2013, 08:52:34 pm
I was thinking of part time reception type work. The money isn't great (probably only earn ?800 a month max for 3 full days work) but it would take huge pressure off my shoulders as it would mean rent and bills are definitely covered.
I could then do the escorting for 2 days a week and earn another 2000 a month or so.

With the vast increase in working girls over the past few years and a similar number of guys between this ever increasing number of girls working, I think many girls have thought along the same lines.

I have noticed that girls that used to do Phone Chat are now doing Webcamming too or vice versa.  Ive also noticed that many girls doing webcam/phone chat are now starting to do directIM, so taking on a part time job is no different really.

Doing the extra work on AW is fine but it is not guaranteed whereas if you do get a part time job the wages are, so I don't think its as silly a job as many girls seem to think.

I've noticed more and more 'ethnic' aka Black escorts in my area...and when I first moved here 3 years ago there were hardly none but maybe 1 or 2. And I live in a part of the country where there generally aren't much in the way of ethnic escorts to choose from for a span of over 700 miles in all directions.

I used to have a handful of regulars, but many of them I don't hear from, but I have picked up some better paying ones over the months, but I've lost just as many. It'd help if I had BOTH of them. But it's hard to tell if it's just run it's course, or if they are seeing different guys.

I had 1 regular even ASK ME about 2 other guys, as in some sort of referral. He did see me again after that, but it demonstrates what's happening. I'm seriously considering relocating, and I also plan to leave the business in the near future.

That's the key. I feel we're in that phase right now. But, even though here in the US they are touting a rebounding economy, lower gas prices, etc...it hasn't fixed anything yet.

I was just in Florida for 3 weeks earlier this month, where the cost of living is fairly high. Yet, I'm in Western USA with lower prices   for gas and groceries and overall cost of living, yet business is no better here than it was there.

It may take a good 3-5 years for the 'ecosystem' to rebound. I don't know if I can afford to wait that long.

I really could not imagine being able to earn the amount I do for so few hours and still have the flexibility of when I work. The last 6 months I have been quite busy when I work.

Today has been quiet and am leaving the hotel now, but I was busy yesterday, at the end of each month I earn about the same, after taking off my expenses: hotel, travel costs etc...

Yes it always feels quiet when you are sat doing nothing, but the time you are working you can be earning more in one hour than some people earn a day. I know many people that do not earn half what I earn a month and work stressful full time jobs with few holidays.

Having paid off a considerable amount of debt in the last 6 months and had several holidays I would not consider doing anything else. I could work more days than I do, but I also enjoy having a life.

I am looking forward to the Xmas break, catching up with friends and family...

The down side is not seeing my OH as much as I would like, with only one day of work booked in the next 4 weeks I will be spending every night with him.

I've only seen 1 client and made a measly $200 this whole week. For a 26 y/o single escort who lives alone. Not great

I'm just like, this is so frustrating. I don't know how it is in Europe, but EVERY SINGLE COMMERCIAL on TV is all about the next holiday sale, shopping, Christmas, etc. Yet, me being an escort in the business, I'm not seeing a splurge of business. People just tell me how low they are on money  &gt;:(

I like Christmas, and it feels good to listen to the music and celebrate the birth of Christ...but I HATE the capitalism of it. We have to sit and suffer, while the stores rake in millions and billions from our would-be clients  :FF

Jan has not been to bad for me either.  Put my prices up and changed my marketing, will continue to put them up until I hit a ceiling...so happy with the way things are going.

What did you do to change your marketing? Advertise on different sites?

I know for me I'm keeping my rates up a bit and took away half hours. I'm going for $200/hr...but it's still dead. This whole week I've only made 1 client for a measly $120. Last week I think I seen 3 clients and that was only $450.
 
15 days into the month and no rent this month is paid. I haven't even profited enough to pay anything. I keep telling my friends, they are going to make me go there. They is the lack of clients, and There is putting my things in storage and getting the hell away from here. But I don't want to be a gypsy again. But at the same time, it's pushing me in that direction. I'm not getting enough clients in my area.

Someone told me awhile ago, "how can you not get anything in a total metro area of 2 million". I'm just like, I DON'T KNOW! How can I explain that? When craigslist people constantly complain about "there's too much free stuff going around". Ads are dead and no one is calling or emailing. There's 2 million people not paying me today, that's all it means!

I guess everyone is different. I am hardly making any profit at the moment with my prices but I trying to get reviews up and pay my bills and debts at the same time which I am very slowly doing.

I am going to start with my in-calls even at my lower price but I already have a few people wanting to see me.

If I got 100 genuine callers a day (minus the time wasters) wanting me at my current prices I would put them up, seeing as I am just about getting a client a day I will happily keep them as they are so I can pay off any debts and bills I need to clear but it is tough going this month and I hope for a better month next month as I plan to get professional photos and start doing in-calls. I hope this speeds things up a bit for me!!

Hi girls
I working in Central London at the moment close to Aldgate east station and I recognise I have so quiet days every month between 20-22 of every month. For example last week was busy for me and this week is just nightmare! I did not have any bookings this Tuesday, yesterday and even now is so quiet on my phone. I used to working on the canary wharf and it was exactly the same. When it was like a 20-21 September was quiet and every months like that. Of course I got some calls but is really late then like between 1am and 5am.
Also I posted many adds and I have around 13 adverts right now so anyone has an idea what is wrong with me???

Hmmmm.... maybe it's the perfect storm of bills being do and not yet being payday?

This is intriguing. I'm keeping track of income on a calendar and I'll be interested to see if these dates are similar for me.

Still trying to work out what people mean by SLOW....

I set off to work on Monday without a booking, I have read reports of others that have cancelled tours on the basis that the phone has not rang before leaving home. I arrived and had a busy couple of hours before it went quiet, but it then picked up.

The Tuesday started really slow and I had no bookings before lunch, I had a regular booked in for 2pm and then did a few more after. To me the amount of money I took home, after expenses was more than reasonable and i know people that do not take home twice that amount for a month working a 40 hr week.

Was it slow? Yes, not taking a booking till 2pm on the Tuesday I felt I could have earned far more than I did, I also had a couple of hours or so spare on the Monday. But I was more than happy with what I took home. So what is SLOW? Yes it is boring sat on your own in a hotel room waiting for clients and I had my fair share of idiots that did not turn up, although only 1 was not expected to arrive. the others I had marked as time-wasters.

Having earned a reasonable amount on the Monday and covered my expenses everything I took on Tuesday was pure profit.

I agree. My idea of slow ( if touring) is often different to others
There is no set thing for slow

I look at what I have made at the end week /tour because that's what counts for me

Slow is when people expect to only pay 1/4 of you rate, and anything more is too much.

Slow is when your last appointment was 2 days ago, and the one before that was 2 days ago, and at the end of the week it's not enough to make ends meet.

Slow is when your phone and ads go an entire day with no response.

Slow is when your phone and ads only collect timewasters.

Slow is in your definition of what slow is.

Slow is not making ends meet.

Slow is being behind on bills.

Slow is escorts dropping their ads in the local area, because it's slow.

What sort of special offers are you doing?

I have decided to try 15-minute quickies. I've had a couple as well as some calls about them. I can't tell if they're attracting people who wouldn't otherwise see me or if those who would are going for the cheapest option. I do have to explain that it's not a full-on session, but rather just oral sex. Some people are perfectly happy with this, so that's cool I guess.

There is a market for it, most definitely. Some men become addicted to quickies. I've got lots of regulars that do it, and some of them are super quick. There are many also that are going for the cheapest option, but they are the ones who are going to overrun and mess about and it's quite easy to find them out. Keep them away and don't always believe a guy who says he's quick because they often aren't. I don't normally accept a quickie booking unless I've already seen him for a half hour and know for sure he's quick. I also mainly do full sex quickies, and the occasional hand job, because oral invariably takes longer and is harder work. YMMV

I had a quickie last night who literally came in his fifteenth minute. I realised that I don't really have the balls to tell someone "your time is up!" I would have gone quite a bit over before doing so.


I also won't really schedule them far in advance. Well, I tell them that if I get a call for a longer booking I will bump them.

I really don't think that I have the right disposition for these. I hate to say "no" or otherwise say anything negative. I like to be the sweet, giving, accommodating female. (I have absolutely no problem saying "no" when there's a problem. I mean that I hate creating situations where that may be necessary.)

This week was dreadful... One day was almost nothing and one day was absolutely nothing (a no-show and the guy I refused to temporarily marry.)

But you know what? Somehow I made my minimum weekly goal! Yesterday was OK and today has been great and it somehow worked out OK. Would have been much better if I'd made money on the one blank day but you do have to look at it as an average over time. It can be so frustrating when the phone isn't ringing. You start to wonder if that's the way it's always going to be. But it won't. The phone will ring and you'll make your money.

Sure it's pretty dead in January but I'm still making my money and I know it's going to pick up soon!

I have a hard time doing this! I'd hate to have to stop someone in the middle of the act. When there's not long left I have to do it in stages, like 'We need to finish soon...', wait 5min... 'Sorry but we really need to finish up now...' That usually helps them finish quick, and if they don't I'll have a bit less of a guilt trip since I did warn them!

I've thought about special offers... it's been really quiet for me since before Christmas. But it's also unpredictable, dead all week and then a comparatively 'busy' day to make up for some of it.

Slow... to me, that means making noticeably less money then what I'm used to. Which is the case lately!

That's why I only take 15 min bookings from guys who I know are quick. I had that senario happen many times, and occasionally it still happens now, but that's usually circumstances. You can't stop when they are just about to finish.

I aim to get it done in ten mins and most of them will do, so there is still five mins leeway. Quickies mean going straight for it, not chatting beforehand.

Making money is easy. The hard part is saving money...and then saving enough to meet ends. That's the issue I'm having. And it's never really been an issue until about 2-3 months ago. I had someone who contacted me about booking this week by email and even included his gmail that had his pic and all his family photos...which I thought was odd. well, he cancelled out on me.

That's how it was for me about 2-3 years ago. January was really good at one point, but I think due to the US government pushing back tax refunds, everybody is broke. Even my regular who promised to see me again in January has not even contacted me...and he's loaded! lol.

Just stressed, depressed, and over it. 25 days late on rent, my electric gas is going to be cut if I don't pay it by next week, car needs fixing, other bills need paying...it's just a living nightmare. This is probably the worst it's been in years. Then to top it all off, I'm getting stood up for appointments.

I was told a long time ago to cancel the tour if you didnt have any bookings before you left, even just one would do. I think its a load of rubbish. Many a time I left with no bookings then my phone would start ringing on the day. I think guys get wise to the fact that a lot of girls cancel their tours last minute and they dont want to be let down so they wait for on the day often.

When I toured I made between 300 and 700 a day. Every day was somewhere in between usually about the 500 isn mark. I know some will think thats shite but for me it was fine. I didn't travel very far and used a chain hotel to keep my costs down "just in case". I do think its silly to spend a fortune when touring or to assume you will be busy. At the end of the day so long as you made a decent profit then its smiles right. I haven't toured for 3 years though so I couldn't say what it would be now.

The fact is that we all sit here saying we are busy or we are quiet but no one actually posts what they class as busy or quiet so we can't judge by each others posts.

I won't say it's rubbish...but it is partly true that many times I've gone on tours where advanced bookings cancelled, but I ended up getting calls from others. However, I would not risk myself going on tour with no clients. It used to work 2-4 years ago. But now, it would just prove far too risky to do so.

At this point, the only time I plan a tour or continue on from 1 city to the next, is if atleast 2 clients book me and DON'T cancel. That way, if 1 cancels, I'll have the other to fallback on in worst case scenario. I always think worst case scenario on tours these days because that's just how it is. It's very rarely a "wow I did better than I thought" anymore except when I went to San Francisco and Washington, DC. The only few remaining cities left in this dumpster of a country that you can actually go to and clients don't try to talk your rates down or complain about price and actually tip well.

Most tours lately, it's just been as expected, barely cutting it...or breaking even. That's when people don't cancel. Whatever I get before I arrive, is what I'll get when I arrive. And in America...there's so many touring escorts that they don't even care anymore who's visiting because next week, they'll be another batch of gypsies in town. When people do cancel, you can very well end up stranded and Lord knows...you don't want that.

So there is some good that comes out of a recession!

Just found out what you girls mean by slow, I only did a half hour booking yesterday, seven hours on the Kindle watching crap daytime TV. But with a booking this morning, I have covered my expenses, and as I am here till 5.30pm, if I can do another 3 x 30 minutes I could take home ?200 - But I would still never cancel going to a hotel just because the phone was quiet before I left home

Considering what I took last week doing two days, ?200 is extremely slow. but if I work out what I have taken home this month it has not been a slow month.

HI Sarah, I am only able to do outcalls and obviously this limits bookings, I was looking into booking a hotel room on laterooms and then just setting up there for the day but I figured I should wait til I had at least a couple of bookings for that day first though to cover expenses.  Do you have experience with this? thanks.x

It really is hard to say, I would hate to say do it and then find that you lost money, But I have never had that problem

From my own experience, these last two days has been slow beyond anything that I have ever known before, but I am still hopeful, I am now in profit and have a couple of bookings for later, so all is not lost. If I go home with 200 (after expenses) I will be happy. Considering what I did last week and what I spent shopping on Monday, I should be crying, but as KimberlyC said:

This week has probably been slow due to the fact most clients won't have been paid since the 19th December and tax bills for 2013 are also due this week. There's also the fact that Christmas will have made a lot of people skint too.
I'm sure it will pick up again by march

Thank goodness for my regulars, Jan has been very good for me and this week has been busy, probably because I am off for the whole of Febuary.

I concur. Like I said before, despite things being the way it is...sometimes when push comes to shove, you have to make clients feel that if they don't see you this week, they'll never see you again. I've really been having to push that I'm moving, and although I haven't even found a new place or boxed my things up...it's bought me a few extra clients that would otherwise put off meeting me. This past couple weeks, I been meeting clients who have put off seeing me for MONTHS and YEARS, and now that they know I'm 'moving', they're coming around.

Sometimes in life, in some businesses, you have to fib a little to get ahead. Just a little. Especially when things get too slow.

Reading is pretty quiet.
I have noticed loads of new profiles over the past few weeks.
Also a fair few well known girls touring in my area.
I am touring also.
I had a complete wash out day last Thursday, I had 4 hours booked in, (new area) and every single one turned out to be a waster.
Normally I am really good at weeding out the timewasters, but not on that day.
It meant I lost out on genuine clients that day, it really p****d me off.
Friday was good though, it made up for Thursday.
I barely got any calls for my own area last week, so I am definitely going to continue touring for the time being.

There is nothing you can do about TW sometimes. I have seen a guy ring girls up on AW and call three up, book all them, then decide who he wanted at last minute cause, he can't make his mind up! My jaw dropped at  how selfish and inconsiderate some people can be.

Yep.
I wouldn't ever double book, as I think it is just unfair and I don't fancy all the negative feedback that would come with it.
Touch wood, I don't normally get no shows, but when I do, it all happens on the same day lol.

I find saying "so is this a definite booking then?" sometimes gets an honest "can I let you know" , I tell them yes but I cancel the booking. They made the booking in the hope that they could make it without actually knowing for sure if they could. I dont do hope. I do definite.Sometimes they call back and Im still free or Im not but sometimes you dont hear from them again which means they would have cancelled anyway or just not shown up. If they say "errr yeah" after hesitating then I still dont consider it a sure thing tbh as they had to think about it. x

It is really slow here in Cornwall at the moment. Doesn't help we are cut off from the rest of the country! Many of my clients travel down here for leisure or business but nobody can get here by rail and they are too worried about getting stuck here to drive/fly down. The flights get cancelled and the bridge keeps getting shut because of the wind!

Plus I have had to cancel all my plans for hotel days as I rely on the rail to get me to Devon for them.

Oh well, as we say round here, madder do ee!

Yes that must be really hard, it can go slow, even in the busier times, due to bad weather but girls trying to work in flood areas are really put to the test.

When I tour always ask clients to phone back a few minutes after others have booked just incase. My last tour had none no shows. Where as back home am more relaxed about having no shows kinda. Touring is to earn as much.

  Say it's 11.30 and someone books for 1 pm.  I would reserve the time for that person. No shows tend to sound genuine on the phone but don't cancel the appointment.
I guess the only way your suggestion would work for me is if I was taking really short notice appointments.
I really felt like double booking myself that day but I know it's bad practise so I didn't.
Thankfully these sorts of days are very few.

I fully agree with that, how many regulars can you have in one area? I constantly tour, I am rarely in the same area more than four days in one month. I am constantly busy, I spend time when I am not working promoting my profile / Twitter acc & web site to let guys know when and where they can meet me, I promote a "persona", that guys want to believe in, by doing so you create a demand and by being unavailable you are also creating a demand.

With that said, it is not always easy for some to work that way, family commitments etc...

Touring is good but don't like the living out of a suit case thing. I came to realise this after doing a two week stint. So one week out of a month suits me better as stability is very important to me.

I don't like living out of a suitcase either, but I have a fair number of regulars from a wide area, who travel for over an hour in some cases, and they are most of my bookings. It's been quiet but it always is for a few weeks after new years. I find that being unavailable causes the numbers to drop off more than create demand. YMMV

That is the down side of working from hotels, I can only do a 2 night stay, but most of my trips are overnights and then back home which means that you spend as much time travelling

Half term/school holidays - always down on bookings but you just have to keep on marketing and doing PR, and I find that on aw, posting up pics constantly seems to attract and/or generate new interest.

Also, the recent awful weather definitely had an effect on all, not to mention those tube strikes in London last week. 

As the weather improves and next week comes, am sure things will pick up again!

Good luck girls.

Ive noticed in the past few months that girls (even girls who have been on AW for years and with thousands of feedback) are now turning to Offering other services like DirectChat and DirectIM. These are services they have no prior feedback for so probably haven't offered these services before. To me that is a sign that all services have slowed down and they are turning to other avenues to make their money.
 
Its just not like it was a few years ago and IMO things will only get slower and slower.  Yes, it is a quiet time of the year but with the saturation of new girls each day/week/month things are not going to get any better.

Im sure the longer serving WGs will confirm too that in the past 5 or so years that prices have not gone up (even in line with inflation) and in some cases have actually gone down. :(  Definitely not a good sign but some girls think it will help them get more work.

I have said this before as well but I have been working for 20 years and only seen a very slight increase from 50 to 70 for a 30 minute booking.

I have not noticed any slowing down in bookings and each month do roughly the same or more than I would expect to have done. I worked yesterday and finished at 3pm today a total of 15 clients through the door and a few that failed to turn up or cancelled. Today I was due to work till 5.30pm but at 3pm my 4.30 cancelled and I had nothing else booked so went home. i could have waited around but had had enough and felt i had earned 50% more than I expected to. In Birmingham on the 3rd/4th/5th Feb I had 31 clients, far more than I expected.

Promotion - Apart from advertising on Adultwork, I also promote the day I am available with a link to my web site to 7,000+ Twitter followers, my web site gets 12-15,000 visitors a month. On Adultwork I pay to be shown as "Available Today"  as well as listed in the "Local Escort Search". I update my profile every 20-30 minutes depending on how busy I am and occasionally do a fresh Tweet.

How much promotion do others do? Gone are the days that you can just list yourself on Adultwork with your phone number and the phone will ring & ring.

Since returning after a Christmas and New Year away, in the last five weeks I have worked 16 days and seen all my regulars, bar one and plenty of new clients. I had two really bad days at the end of Jan, on the 29/30th. That is what I would call really bad, only 200 after expenses and not a single booking on the 30th.

I am working Friday and then I am on holiday for three weeks in the sun.

It has slowed down big time but I am filling my time with camming and phones and still making my weekly target with a couple of bookings thrown in. I have taken down my AW profile also and have found I am  obviously getting less calls. However the calls I do get are more promising, and likely to result in a booking I have since found. So I am not having to wait around all day,  pulling over (if driving) to answer  pointless phone calls and multi tasking my shopping bags and trying to take a call in the rain.....

Not meaning to sound defeatist, however just looking at the numbers of service providers swelling and going up every day :o. I would have though most people will find their slice of the pie a little smaller or at least a little harder to come by.

Supply and demand...

This was a one off, I was in Birmingham and I am only there about every three months, so I had many people that had been watching for me to be there again and others that had been to see me the couple of times that I have been before. It was also right at the beginning of the month which can be more profitable as many people get paid at the end of each month. It was not planned this way, just the way it happened.

I do find working in an area only once a month for a couple of days creates more of a demand, but this is not easy for many people to do. I am also not available every day.

My prices are 70 for 30 minutes & 120 for an hour, I also offer a 15 min quickie for 50. I have considered putting up the 30 min to 80 & the 60 min to 130/140 but it can be a risky strategy. I do not drop my prices even if I am in an area that the prices are cheaper.

Advertising is important, a web site with a blog can tell the clients a lot more about you and make them feel part of your sex life, as with Twitter it is best to throw some general crap in as well as the important promotional "I'm available" posts. Link to your blog posts from Twitter but also have a link to your AW profile on your web site.

I think Wife4rent advertises some services which give her a niche market, combined with touring, and being available for only a few days a week, this could also create a higher demand.

Can I remind everyone that this is a general thread and we're not here to dissect individuals and their ways of working whether they are present or not?

I don't link my site to AW or use their paid features unless I'm away somewhere (and even then I can count the number of times I've used the AT thing on one hand), nor do I use Twitter, write sexee-porno stuff on my site, blog or anywhere else or take same day bookings when I'm at home. I also have no trouble getting the amount of business I want from the type of punters I like, although this figure varies wildly depending on where I am and how much other stuff I have on at the time.

The point I'm trying to make is that everybody's different and what works for one person won't for another - asking if it's busy in Leeds, or if weekends are quiet when all the other variables (fees, services offered, advertising, photos, location) are all different is just the road to madness.

I've never experienced dead months.. dead day here and there but damn. I got a bit cocky and spent my money as i went as i never experienced a lul, not realizing how much of a train wreck these past 2 months were going to be O.o Some sleezier clients mention that it must be slow in my work and must assume i'm desperate, if anything it makes me less desperate because i don't feel like i'm going to hit my monthly target so i havn't been bothering so much either, i wasted january moping around waiting for calls, not wasted feb too much. Roll on..... busier times. Work is dead & i'm a shopaholic sob... or more to the point my bills need paying. Teaches me a lesson huh. *Needed to grumble*

I am definitely going to continue touring.
It has picked up a lot this month.
I have noticed having limited availability in Reading, is getting me more pre-booked appointments.
I have had a look on AW, and there are 6 pages of girls in my area, which is a lot, Reading isn't a huge town or anything.
I guess what is busy to some girls is dead to some and vice versa.
Bring on next month :)

Are things picking up for you all yet? I had the quietest 2 months since I started 8 years ago. I've never seen it so dead and it was causing me extreme stress. Thankfully this week is proving very busy and some of my regulars are booked in for next week too x

I'll probably jinx myself but I've had a really good fortnight and wouldn't have known it was feb half-term last week if I'd not known about it from elsewhere. I do however think this is because I've had limited availability for some of the previous month, am limiting new clients so have more availability for regulars and same day bookings plus I never have massively high requirements numbers wise. I've also found removing the 2 clients a day policy means I can be more responsive on busy days, to make up for the quieter ones.

I have just found it a very mixed month.I have had a couple of dead days but generally have managed to pull in a couple a day even if it means working abit after my usual time.Also some of my regulars have still popped along.
I think sometimes it works to your advantage being part time.My friend who went away on her hols for a week and then worked 2 days was swamped!

It can help pass time occupying yourself at home with a few things. So the quietness doesn't seem so bad. Then out of the blue while busy pottering around get a call client comes. I find advertising or maybe a tour needs doing. I found January busy touring compared to if stayed in Belfast. Just a few tips that might help you.

I'm feeling really nervous about working these days.
I've just started working incalls, and my first week, I just about made rent. I am
working again this week, and my calls so far are few and far between that I am not looking forward to it.
I am afraid of not getting enough work. I work tirelessly on my ads, paid and free ones. Its really not up to me now, its just that guys aren't coming in. Oh well, I'm nothing if not hopeful. Time to get showered and dressed for work.

It varies for me a few days ago did four then three yesterday. Today is quiet with a few but am spending the quiet time overlooking to see how can improve. I don't want to much traffic here so this suits me ok. When I tour is a different story. It seems touring is the way forward, roll on in a few weeks time. I suppose all we can do during the quietness is to relax.

Remember recession seems to have impacted.

Why is it quiet? Because its March. March last year was dire, the year before that dire, the year before that and before that. March is when people suddenly feel skint. At the end of january they suddenly feel relieved as they are finally paid after December but it kicks in that they need to buckle down when they get paid in febuary. April will be better, it always is x

I often wonder if the camming industry is becoming the first choice for punters these days - it's cheap, available on demand, don't have to leave the house, no sexual health issues, they have a world of girls to choose from & technically I guess a lot of guys wont regard it as cheating. Maybe it like most things computer related - addictive, lol!!!

im in glastonbury and its been dead quiet all of 2014 so far. especially this last week! i havnt had a single booking since the 6th and ive hit panic today, almost in tears thinking "is this it!? am i going to have to go back to a 9 to 5 job!?" the thought is heart breaking. i keep checking to see if there are new girls, i even checked the guys forum to see if i had been slated, but no mention of me anywhere, which is good! we just have to hang in tight girls! if i could drive or had money to travel, i would take up the advice of touring.

on the plus side, i have 2 booked in for the end of the week, but that is it so far. 3 family birthdays and a shit load of bills to pay, i am screwed!!!!! i must learn to save for these shit periods!!! haha.

hopefully things will pick up for us all. its helpful to know im not the only one struggling xox

After a few years switching between working part time and full time in this business, I've decided now is the right time for me to go back into  in the 'real world'  for good and build up my skills and CV.

The downsides of the job (fibbing, no sick pay, too scared to take a holiday in case it's the only busy week of the month, impact on social/private life, unpredictability of earnings) are no longer worth it for me as the financial reward just isn't what it was. Even if business suddenly got busy again I think the stress of the last few months of it being dead would always be with me and it wouldn't tempt me back as a full time venture.

I plan to just escort part time now to supplement my income until i build up my experience and my 9-5 pays enough.

Just adding onto what everyone else said about touring.

I'm sorry but, in this job it's a MUST. This is for several reasons. For 1, when guys see you all the time, they just look over your ad and never book because you're the same old ad. Or...they do book, but they dither around for months and in some cases, years before finally booking you.

Whereas, when touring...you're new, you're limited in time and they want to book. I honestly couldn't imagine doing this job and not touring unless I lived in a really nice city where it worked out that way.

Depending on the hours worked, for me that would be slow...

Which is why it is very hard to get a feel for what people mean by it is slow, we all have different work loads, I only count the money I have taken after expenses as they can vary from week to week depending on how much I pay for my hotel room, but if I had spent two nights in a hotel and only taken that amount home, after expenses, I would be disappointed

yeah I have trouble what people mean by slow. Im outcall only so if I get one bookig a day thats busy. My overheads are very low tho when it comes to paying my bills. Last week was my first official slow week as not one booking and I didn't make an awful lot on cam either. but then I only workedofficially for like 3 days haha

Ugh, you guys are killing me with this March is dead stuff. I already endured a dead December, January and February. I need March to be good. I don't think it has to do with the month at all, it's location. I was busy earlier this month in other cities, but once again I'm home and it's dead again.

When I'm touring, I'm stressed. But at home, I'm bored AND stressed lol.

Then you need to take one.... book it and go or it will never happen.

I have at least 5 weeks holiday abroad each year and have done for the last 15-20 years, you need to book them in advance and work towards them.

My OH used to work 7 days a week and the only way I could get a him to take a holiday was by booking it in advance and he would plan for them, it is much harder to go if you have nothing booked as you can always use the extra money rather than spending it.

I agree and disagree. Yes to a degree its the location but the location at certain times of the year. I'm here all year around and have been i this town for the last 6 or so years so Im telling you, its March lol. I have toured to the midlands during this month and its been shite during march too.I have also worked in London during this time of year and its been far quieter there too.

Not sad. I've done it for years. It's the easiest way to keep track of clients and what they like etc.

The biggest effect on bookings is the weather. The sun and skimpy dresses brings them back, except when there is a real heatwave. On top of that there is holidays, events and the school year etc.

There's a guy on AW who offers to sort out your profile for you.  PM me if you would like his handle

Alway be very carefull when allowing others access to your profile. Once they have access to it you could lose it and it will be very hard to get it back.

If somebody wants to help you they can re write your profile and email it for you to copy and paste into it yourself. Other than that I am not sure what else they can do for you.

Thank you but that's exactly what we did.  He sent me the copy and I edited to sound more like me.  I wouldn't give ANYONE access to my profile

Adult work is very slow at the moment. Most of my work is coming via my website. If there are ladies here relying soley on adult work nows the time to set up a website and sling it on all the directories.

Yes it has been a slow day... especially as I have had a week off, but for 2 days work I will still take home twice what a girl on a checkout at Tesco's will be getting a week, so I really can not complain.

Credits spent on AW advertising today = 9
Credits earnt on AW today = 4

Normally when I am quiet I earn more credits, but not today, so they are even too skint to have a w**k, times must be hard.

Hi sassy slapper  :) I created my own website last year due to all the ddos attacks, but I'm unsure which directories to put it on, (probably being really thick right now) but could you help out by giving me some advice on good directories to use please? Xox

Have you tried doing a Google search by your area to see what sites are on the first 2/3 pages.

For example I am a Busty Bbw in Ayrshire in Scotland although I also cover Glasgow so I search using a variation of these words.

Glad I've found this forum, thought it was just me, as been a bit slow as of late. I've just started to bid on reverse bookings, to try and keep to my weekly target, though some of them are ridiculous prices for what they want there are some acceptable ones.

Yeah if it's majorly under what I usually charge then I just bid a price I think is acceptable for the kind of thing they are looking for. I might not win but it puts me on their radar as the type of girl who offers the services that they want & hopefully consider me in the future.

You know something, I never thought I'd say this, but I did have one client today who was actually really rather good at oral. I was lying there in a happy little zone when he stopped "I don't want to go over time" FUCK THE CLOCK GET BACK DOWN THERE

And this is the one day where I've sat completely organised, twiddling my thumbs, checking that my phone is actually working :FF

I'm in Leeds and the girls at the agency I've just started working for are having their hours literally snapped up the moment they get put on the rota, but I understand it's probably a different dynamic working on your own? The female owner has also said she has to be told when to stop giving you clients as the demand is there, they do however shut up shop over summers as I hear it's dead

Just had one work out for me today, bid higher than he'd put & wasn't offering everything he wanted (anal). Turns out a lot of the bids he got were from people trying to get him to view their private galleries or just weren't his cup of tea. Nice gent too, hopefully that's the case for the others... be nice if it was   ;D

I've never worked for an agency so I couldn't answer that honestly. I usually don't work weekends as they're quiet where I am, but I had about 15 missed calls last weekend.

Two calls today - the others were blocked at some point in the past by myself for various reasons. One was my earlier booking, the other was a guy wanting to know my availability to see me later in the week. So I've had one booking today. Mustn't grumble I suppose. Conversely on Wednesday I'm pretty much booked solid from noon til 6pm with very dependable regulars. So I'm not complaining too much. I set myself a min target of ?600 a week and work through til I reach that. It just makes me :FF when I actually set aside a day to work and pretty much nothing lol.

Today I took a booking from a guy that was on my timewaster list, I told him to call me from the car park so I could see he was there. he turned up today but may not another time.

At other times I give them a room number on the floor I am on but the room does not exist, most never turn up but it satisfies their strange need to know what room I am in

bahahahahaha at the part in bold. Most of my blocked list is because they've called me at stupid o'clock. I checked my block list about an hour ago and "can't read 5" has tried calling me nearly every day for a week. Oh well he shouldn't have tried calling me at 2am then ;D

Ye,  sometimes when I read this forum all the  other escorts seems to be busy, but I'm not.  And I keep wondering ''whats wrong with me'', but its probably just luck, can't explain it otherwise. As I do not have too many active adds at the moment ( all the  work seem to come from AW at the moment anyway.)

I'll have a complete drought, then a flurry of activity. Yesterday was dead, one half hour booking.

Wednesday I have no availability whatsoever (unless someone calls me for 8am!) as I'm booked solid.

Today I'm quite happy with what I have pre-arranged as well, could do more but I'm not worried if I don't. I personally found London a hard market to break but thats likely just me.

Definitely get some more ads, take some more photos, the advertising thread by ParisB that is stickied is very good. BP seems to work in London from what I read. If you don't have a website, just knock up a free one in the meantime. And blog on it. Some girls swear by using keywords like busty, escort, yadda yadda but mine are ramblings that amuse me at the time. It filters through its own traffic for me as I tend to attract the curious first timers. Like it was said elsewhere, anything can be a USP.

I put my first ad up on AW since March and have only had 1 guy who is now my regular, had another but I didn't want to travel 2 plus hours as a newbie for an outcall. It's getting me so down hearted because I would really like more offers during the week. I do in calls Thursday/Friday and offer outcalls the rest of the time.

I feel it might be me definitely, ahhh I dunno. It's frustrating, especially as I hear summer is slow and I'd quite like a decent amount of savings by then. What do I do  :'( :FF

Think about paying for local escorts and/or available today and keep updating your profile.Also think about having adverts on other directories.Adultwork is good but punters use other places to find escorts.

Your first AW client became a regular, so I suspect it's not you or the way you work, but simply your marketing. If they're not ringing in the first place, it's because your profile doesn't stand out enough. There's plenty of good advice on here re. updating your profile, good pictures, paying extra for local search etc.

ive just set myself up on another site, its not escorting, but clips, cam, images etc. have decided that i need to enter the world of online sex if im going to be able to financally carry on in this line of work, i love it too much!!

Any advertising you do is good for escorting, it brings attention to yourself and raises your profile, especially if you can link back to your Adultwork profile or your own web site if you have one. There will always be guys that see your profile on another site and want to meet for real, even better if you make a few ???'s from the mi??ions of cyber-wankers looking at your photos / videos

From a marketing point of view always try and use the same user-name, then anybody that googles it should find other stuff about you and a link to how to meet.

I put my first ad up on AW since March and have only had 1 guy who is now my regular, had another but I didn't want to travel 2 plus hours as a newbie for an outcall. It's getting me so down hearted because I would really like more offers during the week. I do in calls Thursday/Friday and offer outcalls the rest of the time.

I feel it might be me definitely, ahhh I dunno. It's frustrating, especially as I hear summer is slow and I'd quite like a decent amount of savings by then. What do I do  :'( :FF

There isn't much outcall work, a few compared to a high percentage of in calls.

This morning when I was stuck on a broken down coach on my way to London, my phone was on fire and I couldn't see anyone and missed 2 bookings, then my one this evening cancelled, and now I'm sitting here ready to go and my phone is dead and it's friday night!  :FF I'm praying this weekend picks up xx

Things are so slow for me at the moment, I'm in a small town & I've had no bookings today whatsoever. The only inquiry was from a previous client saying he "might" want to come down and see me tomorrow and if he did then he'd let me know ASAP, he hasn't gotten back to me so i take it he's not coming. I've just paid my rent, so i'm absolutely broke now so i'm really hoping next week will be better.

I've been quite worried as of late, that the way things are going i might fall behind on my rent which isn't an option because my landlord would kick me out right away, he's said as much. I don't have any savings and I've been quite very stupid in the way i've worked, i spent my money as i earned it thinking the previously steady flow of clients would always be there - how wrong was i  ::)

I'm now in a position where i'm seriously kicking myself for not saving because if one week i had no bookings at all, i'd be out on my ear, and you can't sell sex from a cardboard box! I'm contemplating 'reinventing' myself somewhere else, or maybe going on tour for a while, but that requires money, and no (or very few) clients means little to no money  :FF

I wish i'd been sensible and saved some money for the inevitable "dry periods" that we get, but in all honesty and naivety i didn't think it'd get so slow.  Here's to hoping it picks up soon and i can start putting some money away for some security but having been young, naive and blinded by the pound signs i'm now seeing things from a different perspective. Lesson learned  ::)

Your landlord can't kick you out without giving you notice even if there is no written tenancy agreement, by law you handing over money for rent is a contract. Contact your citizen advice bureau.

It can take a very long time for a landlord to evict, however it is recommended that whatever job you do that you try to put aside 3 months worth of living expenses as savings. Yes sounds a lot, but anything can happen and it's how people get stuck.

Maybe you should consider to move in a bigger town? Google for serviced flats for example, some of them are accesible and you can pay for few days when you get there, then rent your own flat.

I was in your shoes few times due to a minor surgery I had last year and I couldnt work for 3 weeks, but Im lucky that my landlord is very understanding.

I've earned a grand total of...wait for it...70 quid in the last two weeks.
In the whole of April, I'm not even close to a grand in total.
I'm really in the shit right now, I don't know what's gone wrong. I've been on AW all month as well as agency work & I have had 0 bookings from that.
Worried and stressed doesn't even begin to explain...

As a brand new girl at my agency I've made just under a grand this week over 7 bookings to supplement my student loan as I'm saving like a mad woman for the summer and my postgrad next year, I have so many expenditures (uni, driving lessons, pre-booked holiday etc) coming up I'm already panicking about when things will be bound to slow down and whether i'll have enough put by :-\

Post by: Lady_Lust_XXX on 27 April 2014, 09:00:14 am
MSSA, there is no way of knowing when things will slow down for you. The variables are endless.

It all depends where you are, how much time a week you have to work, how long you stay in the agency's "good books", when the next pretty girls starts and takes away your newbieness, the time of the month for the guys with the money, the time of the month for you, how long your period lasts, if you can work through it when you are on your period, your state of mind.  Remember, don't take on too much for too long without breaks of a few days between if your head and your body tells you you need a break.

This is just the tip if the iceberg, there are so many other variables too, but it lets you see that most of it is out with your control and you just have to go with "the flow" and make it while you can and remember to save for a rainy day when you are not working as well as all the other bills too.

In years gone past we could easily make a grand a day and think nothing of it, that doesn't happen so much now though, if at all.
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: meetingdiversity on 27 April 2014, 12:36:32 pm
The thing with business is to grab the mad rush when happens then when slows down is ok as need a break by that point. This is my outlook now feeling good if its slow as can think more making the right decisions. Whether to improve business or other. When toured Belfast for the first time pondering for so long as was my first ever. Little did I know that would be my establishment in time to come. It is amazing now that am back to touring again how things change for the better.

The thing with agencies they have all the control over business so it cannot be improved by the girl working for them. Just hope they are doing a good job attracting punters.
Refreshen photos maybe or blog on a regular basis gains interest that can boost business. Also how one interacts with clients verbal communication matters the most as to whether they come or not.

I live in a small town so it's really easy to keep an eye on competition, not trying to sound big headed just realistic .... knowing where i put myself marketing wise, there wasn't much competition in my area which really suprised me & clients would always comment it's slim pickings but i don't get that anymore and now i know why. I checked back now a year on & there is literally 10x competition HUH!?!?! I have been keeping a steady eye on competition and it's just shot up? I wouldn't mention it if it wasn't for the slow period but do you think all the shows lately on sex work on national T.v has anything to do with it? There has been 3x escort documentaries and 1 stripper documentary. Has anyone else noticed this??

Carlisle used to be the same.  There has been prossy shows on TV for years.  I think we just notice them more when we are in the middle of the business.  Perhaps the slowness is to do with femmes thinking its " an easy life" and becoming a prossy.  The number has been increasing massively over the past ten years mainly due to these programmes and unemployment.

He wants some positive response from you because he wants to see you. Otherwise he wouldn't bother.

It all depends on whether he is a good client or not. I always give my good clients priority. Or at least ask them if they mind waiting. If you are available for them when they need you then they stay regulars.

Well England normally scrape through the group stages before royally bollocksing it up in the last sixteen and given the selection in Group C (whose winners/runners up they'll play against) possibly even the quarter finals, so I'd add:

Saturday 28th June at 9pm if they win the group, and Sunday 29th (also at 9pm) if they're runners up, then after that Friday 4th or Saturday 5th July, again both at 9pm.

I'm going to miss Switzerland v Ecuador and the first half of France v Honduras on Sunday June 15th because I'll be on a boat (which was sheer bad planning), but otherwise I'm all set. Fortunately we're a nation of bandwagon jumpers, so I doubt the fixtures other than those above (and with the exception of non-British punters whose teams are playing) will make much difference, although anyone claiming to be a football fan who hasn't at least set aside some time for Germany v Portugal on June 16th needs their head examined :D.

At least it is before the school holidays begin (i think, football and children are my two least favourite things  :P) because a double whammy like that would be dire. Clients would be babysitting during the day and footballing it at night.

I have not worked since Mon 28th April but should be working tomorrow, then doing a few days next week but not Bank holiday Monday. Hotels were not cheap as it is school half term, which also means that it can be slower than usual.

But we take what we can get and just do more on-line advertising / promotion.

You are all thinking with female heads.

Guys will watch ANY game of football or in this case EVERY game of football they can.  Every round of it, whether their team is in the group or not.

There is a time difference - don't ask me what - but games played before guys come in from work will have the highlights shown AGAIN AND AGAIN, then there will be the games that are LIVE too.  It will be coming out our ears.

I'm a football fan and even I'll be fed up with it and it will be on morning, noon and night - and for how many weeks? I'm not sure  :'( :'( :FF

The earliest game of the day starts at 5pm UK time, so anybody who (like me) mostly works daytimes/school hours is less likely to notice much of a difference. Plus there will be punters who use going out somewhere to watch it as an alibi; I have a regular at home who always comes to see me midweek when there's an evening/Champions League game on TV.

The opening fixture is on June 12th at 9pm, and the final is at 8pm on Sunday 13th of July :).

I agree with Amy.I don't think it will be too bad.They will still punt during the day or before/after a match.Plus not all blokes are into the footy anyway.

I think most of the long timers remember it and after it many had wished they had taken their hols then. 

I don't like going away in July and August mind you, too hot and too expensive. Hey ho!

Enjoy Paris.

I will be away for the first two weeks of July, the final is on Sunday July 13th, so it will all be over by the time I get back

Not really sure how much of a slow down it will actually cause, but there are the school summer holidays for 6 weeks after that. I will be working through July and August and away in September, not through choice, just the way it has worked out this year.

More holidays needed!

Also moving to a new area is on a trail and error basis as doesn't all the time guarantee a booming flow. The best thing to do is to advertise in the chosen area to see the interest first. Rather than risking a minus expense.

My ads are all up, my blog and aw is updated, no bad forums/reviews or anything.  :FF I've never done any private gallery or selling on aw, might give it a bash. Just tried putting up a sexy blog and instantly got a phone wanker! GRR!

I was wondering whether things like Tindr and other dating apps are affecting sex work.

Also what are peoples thought about the world cup? I was reckoning that guys might use matches as the perfect alibi to escape the wife and go to 'the pub'  ;) I can't remember last time.

I find that if its quiet knocking my hourly fee down to the straight ?100 can generate business. I dont just put it in my profile though. I change my fee to ?100 in my aw rates section too so that I show up in the searches for that fee. It makes a difference I found.
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Lady_Lust_XXX on 12 June 2014, 09:44:47 am
Sassy is right, you have to change it in your "profile price box" too as some guys put in price they are willing to pay and if it's just in the body of your profile, your profile will not show up in the search.

Sorry to read about this but try not to take personally. All we as escorts can do is advertise in different places updating etc. I just added a lot more photo's updating and on another new website advertising today. I do advertise on AW it gives me minimal traffic compared to the others. With many time waster lurkers.  Business improves when we update our profiles etc. It is all about doing to get noticed. Hope you cheer up. :)

It won't be because you are too fat...bbws do well!Have an overhaul of your profile.Update your pics,look at your rates,tweak the blurb on it and advertise on other sites as well.Pay for local escorts and/or available today.Maybe think about getting your own website sorted out.Escorting isn't just about a good service its about marketing and making sure people are noticing your ads.

Plus at the moment I'm not getting any advance bookings for the last couple of weeks. I normally have at least one or two booked in for the following day and often several booked in for the following week but not at the  moment. I think they are just calling on the day mostly right now. x

This is a little bit off topic, but I advertise the 090 numbers and believe it or not the older housewives numbers get 900% more traffic than any others! with domination a bit behind that.  All the others are way way down the pile, so it goes to show that not all guys are interested in the young shapely ones.

I made the same amount in 2 days as I did in four days the previous week when touring in Birmingham

Bristol was really busy on the Thursday and my friend who was there at the same time was also flat out busy as well
Yet yesterday in Birmingham  my phone was dead till 4pm then it went mental and I got really busy and did. 5 1hr bookings and worked till  midnight
Also had a lot of emails from guys wanting to book after the England match ( lol)

However the week before was deathly quiet in Birmingham 

It's swings and roundabouts this month will be hard because it's football

Some don't watch the world cup. It is give and take during these months. But luckily for me in NI things are still good hitting target. It can be quieter with booking spaced apart hitting target but it does me just fine as have other preparations to make. Like revamping my whole advert photo shoot and a meeting with the videographer again who is professional doing weddings, escorting on the side. So have all the excitement of wearing different things.

It is very good to remain positive through out especially during quieter times or go down hill mentally. :)

I fix that dilema easily: instead of sitting around waiting for a call, when I feel the urge to take a walk, I just walk. I do small shoppings, window shopping, or I go to harbourside, drink a coffee on the grass in front of my house, watch the people, the sky,  not much really but helps not to get pissed off and fed up. Sometimes I take the phones with me but I never rush back home if someone wants to see me in 30 minutes, I tell them I need one hour and I dont cross my own rule. Maybe Ive lost one booking, but my mind its at peace.

Have set days that you work and days off is the best way. make yourself available for certain days of the week and advertise those are the days that you work. The other days you have for yourself, leave the phone off or just let it ring (on silent).

Works for me....

The last 7 days have been dead for me  :( Not a single booking since last Tuesday and hardly any calls. I think the world cup is having a significant impact. The bulk of my clients are city guys popping in to see me on their lunch break or after work. Canary Wharf seems dead during the day, the cafes and my gym are empty. I think they are all working through lunch so at 5 pm they can spill into the pubs to watch the football with their colleagues  :FF I met a friend at 6 for a quick drink last night and it was mayhem!

I am using the time to update my AW profile and website, write new blogs and train hard - I am hoping to do some new photos soon and want to look super-toned! I am on a bit of an all round fitness campaign this summer and am getting quite into it! I am also exploring new advertising routes, thinking of new ways to target different client groups and looking at expanding into a visiting massage service. Past experience tells me that clients always come in fits and starts. Sometimes there is an explanation - the weather, sporting events, school holidays, bonus season, budget cuts etc, sometimes it seems totally random. When they all decide they are bored of the football, or England gets knocked out hopefully they will be excited enough by my re-vamped profiles to get booking!!!

I think we have struck it lucky this time   re the football.

Because of where it is and the fact they are so many hours behind us, many of the games are on late.  This allows us to work during the day, however, it doesn't help those guys who can't escape from work for a booking during the day.

I agree with Linzi - unless the bulk of your business is in the evenings I can't imagine it making much odds. It's certainly easier than last time when South Africa was only an hour ahead and everything was during the day.

My guess is that it's either the way you present yourself, (marketing!), and/or price structure. Nothing to do with being useless or uninteresting.

In the summer seems like it is now with this gorgeous weather it quietens down. The world cup etc can cause it. Try and be strong as you are your business if not in good shape mentally could be trouble. Meaning business might get even more dampened. Try and think about ways of improvement. Without our sanity then seems all lost. I better change the bedding now. Remember that song writing by bob marly.... Every thing is going to be alright .....

Hi girls, I didnt start yet my business but Im planning to operate from hotels in central london (liverpool st-aldgate-bank) area. Im getting ready mentally to do this and today I did little research about prices in that area, and Im... terrified! Plenty of girls offer much much more than my planned vanilla services and they charge 100-120 per hour! Im not ready to charge less than 150, and many of them are gorgeous, slim and pretty. I dont feel like I have any chances  :(

Carol, what you want to charge and what guys are willing to pay for your services could be poles apart. 

You have to be realistic re what you are offering and what it is worth.  I would put a search into the AW search engine of all the things you are going to offer and where you are and see who is charging what in your area for the same.

If you are charging way over the odds you are going to cut down on your possible bookings, for if guys can get the same services for say 60 GBP cheaper than you are charging then there are not many going to book you.  Some of the guys may be willing to pay what you want to charge but others just want to shove their poker in the fire irrespective of the surroundings.  ::)

I notice you do not have the Available Today" option on your profile and your enjoys list is very limited, which I understand if you do not offer other services but sometimes it is for "marketing" only and nobody ever gets asked for them..

I also advertise on the "local Escorts" listing for an extra 1.5 credits and often put it on as many as I can. When I am in Swindon (Wiltshire) I also List on the adjoining Berkshire listing as it is on the border, easy access via the M4. Probably not easy if you are in a city centre but for future ref.

Personally I think advertising services I don't do is just asking for trouble as it could lead to bad feedback or worse.

Hi Chrissie - sorry to hear you've had a rubbish day. Don't you think that perhaps Scotland was out in force watching the match, waiting for England to lose? In my experience (of having a Scottish ex-bf) this is practically a national sport in itself!!  :)

I'm sure things will improve soon - keep going xx

Of course... Many clients complain to me about those they get there and don't do service advertised. So they don't go back of course and the few will warn like punters talk remember so will damage business. Personally really was it worth it for a negative against their name. I don't see the point in doing this skimming clients deceiving them. But of course those who do boost my business as am very genuine.

Sarah, I wouldn't wish to lie to punters about the service on offer. This is largely to do with being an honest person - with the obvious additional reason of not wanting to be accused of being a timewasting idiot by some poor unsuspecting guy who has travelled an hour to be told the thing he wants isn't on offer. "Oh, it was just there for marketing purposes" isn't likely to cut it, eh?! ???

Exactly I'm not going to risk pissing a client off who may turn angry for the sake of maybe getting some more bookings.
Plus there are girls who offer less than me.

I must have found the rare exception! I've got a longer booking on Tuesday, I forgot about the match and said will 5pm be okay?
He said "Was originally thinking 7pm. However, let me see - choice between England football match and more quality time with a sexy young lady, ummmmm ??? Right, let's go for 5pm if you are OK with that !!!"
I should feel quite special, I let him know that I can come after the match so he can enjoy both ;D

How much of a difference any of the above would make I am not sure, not a lot probably and you already had the AT / local escort features paid for which was my main points and should be more beneficial.

Swinging can happen on a one to one booking. Guys can book you to accompany them to a swinging club. I think its totally pointless putting things on your enjoys list you don't do and yes it does represent the services you offer.I hear guys moaning all the time that they are encouraged to read a profile and a ladies 'likes' but when they do and request something like a toy show and then get told the lady doesn't have any, they are not fooled. Same as when they get told that the lady has a coldsore coming so can't give owo that day.
Better to be honest about what you do in my opinion.I agree available today and local escorts is a good idea as is updating your profile with a pic or a new strap line or some such a few times a day.

I've been really busy this week, and fully booked on the evenings of the matches and more enquiries than I could take on. However this week has coincided with me extending and upgrading my advertising, with a few new photos which seems to have had a very good effect. This is pure coincidence that this all came together ready for the World Cup but very glad it did.

It has somewhat picked up for me since I last posted. I had a booking on Wednesday and another yesterday. Of course last night when the match finished my phone went red hot, and I couldn't accommodate them as I had a jubilant Scottish boyfriend on my hands!

I will plan for an influx of calls on Tuesday evening when the inevitable happens.....

I've just taken on a civvy full time job as the stress of whether I was going to earn enough from escorting every month to pay rent and bills etc was going to send me to an early grave.
I've been escorting for 8 years now and used to make a fortune from it. Over the last 6 months it really seems to have died a death in my area. I'm lucky if I get 3 bookings a week max now (I used to get double that a day when I first started).
I work hard at my advertising and I update my photos a lot. My rates aren't high and I like to think I'm quite attractive etc. I offer the usual services too so I can only assume that my area is saturated with escorts now or clients in my area just can't afford to book girls more than once or twice a year now after the recession. I can't move areas for various reasons.

Anyway, I don't particularly want to work 40 hours a week in a boring job, but the pay is decent and it will stop my getting ill with stress every month. I can still escort once a week or so for extra money. And if the amount of enquiries I get start to pick up again then I can always go back to it full time in the future. I think if things aren't working for any of you then you need to assertively make changes such as a complete overhaul of your profile and photos or perhaps find a part time or full time job to supplement things. Good luck everyone

I think sometimes on here we forget that so many girls are on here from different countries, I certainly do lol. Being busy in America for e.g. will have no relevance to what its like in the uk and visa versa.

I had a personal errand I had to do with my son today which took me to London so we took in some of the parks and sites too, once I got home my legs were hurting all the way up to my butt cheeks for walking for about 9 hours solid so the evening traips to work didnt happen in the end.

I had several missed calls and yesterday was busy but not as busy as it should have been as everyone wanted the same few times slots which is always a killer. Roll on the weekend, hope its busy lol xx

Quite honestly, I'd love to have a part time to go with this job, but the initial reason I've started escorting was because it's not possible for me to get hired in this area. Talk about rock and a hard place, heh. :)

I've had a relatively busy day which isn't common for me. I think the weather has something to do with it 8)

I had 4 bookings, two of which were 1 hours so i'm happy. Admittedly that's not many to some people but it's busy for me, lol. I had to rearrange one though because i was worn out after the third due to the fact i normally only see one a day, two at a maximum. One of them didn't even want sex, bonus.

I'm taking the weekend off now to enjoy the weather ;D

I think that's quite dishonest - you know the AW disclaimer about ladies selling time & companionship and anything else which happens is between 2 consenting adults, but we all know that we are selling sex and the enjoys list is essentially a list of offered services.
Yes, you are under no legal obligation to provide a service but if you advertise it and the client is paying you then there's a mutual expectation to provide the service unless there's a reason not to (e.g. him being unclean or asking for services which require prep like watersports without giving prior notice). If you tick toys then clients have every right to expect their fee to cover using toys!
Imagine going for a spa day and told your fee covers 3 treatments and use of pool, then you turn up and the pool is closed for the day and you can only have 2 treatments?

We all work in different ways and for me the clients have NO rights

Everything that you do is at your discretion, the punter knows that and many girls also charge extra for services so i am really confused at your logic on this. There are NO set rules about what you must do and who with and what you advertise on your enjoy list has nothing to do with what the guy should expect included in what he pays for.

At the end of the day you do what you feel comfortable with and should you upset a few guys then they will maybe write something about you on a forum / web site or the least they would do is not spend time with you again, so technically your own loss, although maybe you would not have got the first booking from the guy, so your actually in front.

The topic is about business being slow and for me if a bit of off hand marketing is a way of getting guys through the door then people that are finding it tough should maybe give it a go, but it is entirely up to them to make such a decision. maybe when I start getting complaints I may have a change of heart about what I do but I really do not feel having some innocuous extras ticked on my profile is the end of the world.

I have in the past had guys who were surprised that I do everything on my 'enjoys' list as their experience has been that many girls just tick all/most of the boxes just to get guys thro the door.  And clients absolutely hate that. Why start a booking on the basis of dishonesty, that would make me very uncomfortable and the guy would have every right to complain/walk if a service on your profile was never actually going to be offered.  I couldn't care less about what someone may or may not write on a forum but I just think being dishonest about your services can only be harmful to business.

Just realised how off topic this is?  So......not sure how the WC is affecting me really as I've been sick most of the week, did 3 bookings yesterday, nearly bloody killed me as I wasn't fully over the flu  :FF  I don't think the WC is affecting things here in Scotland, except to give guys a good excuse to get out of the house for a couple of hours.........

+1

I have been doing this for quite a few years and have heard hundreds of stories from clients along the same theme. I think if you are reasonably straight with clients then generally they treat you much better - that is, the ones that really are clients and not fantacists and wind-ups. I get TW's just like everyone else, but not to anything like the same extent as some do. When I read some of the threads on the subject I realise I am quite lucky in that respect, but on the other hand I don't get guys making endless calls and fake bookings in revenge for being mislead. Admittedly most of my bookings are regulars, but I have a lot of regulars because they are happy with the way they are treated. It works both ways.

I think that's quite dishonest - you know the AW disclaimer about ladies selling time & companionship and anything else which happens is between 2 consenting adults, but we all know that we are selling sex and the enjoys list is essentially a list of offered services.
Yes, you are under no legal obligation to provide a service but if you advertise it and the client is paying you then there's a mutual expectation to provide the service unless there's a reason not to (e.g. him being unclean or asking for services which require prep like watersports without giving prior notice). If you tick toys then clients have every right to expect their fee to cover using toys!
Imagine going for a spa day and told your fee covers 3 treatments and use of pool, then you turn up and the pool is closed for the day and you can only have 2 treatments?
We all work in different ways and for me the clients have NO rights

Everything that you do is at your discretion, the punter knows that and many girls also charge extra for services so i am really confused at your logic on this. There are NO set rules about what you must do and who with and what you advertise on your enjoy list has nothing to do with what the guy should expect included in what he pays for.

At the end of the day you do what you feel comfortable with and should you upset a few guys then they will maybe write something about you on a forum / web site or the least they would do is not spend time with you again, so technically your own loss, although maybe you would not have got the first booking from the guy, so your actually in front.

The topic is about business being slow and for me if a bit of off hand marketing is a way of getting guys through the door then people that are finding it tough should maybe give it a go, but it is entirely up to them to make such a decision. maybe when I start getting complaints I may have a change of heart about what I do but I really do not feel having some innocuous extras ticked on my profile is the end of the world.

I am aware that there is no legal obligation to provide services and everything is at discretion however intentionally advertising a service which you have no intention of providing is a completely different story from advertising a service and refusing for a genuine discretionary reason.
I don't understand the benefit in ripping off your clients, sure we can dress it up and call ourselves escorts, sell our time and companionship and all that but surely it's clear that the likes list = services provided. Punters don't care what we like, they care what we offer.
Building a client base of repeat clients/regs who'll give you good feedback (getting you more credibility and more clients) is better (more profitable and reliable money) than taking the money of someone who'll feel cheated and warn others off you, not come back and lose you more money in the long run. Sounds like you think very little of your clients.

The truth is the escort advertises a service then client arrives find out she doesn't do. He doesn't come back is a high chance of that. Many lovely clients who see me talk about this such act. It just shows that I am going to believe all their complaints. And profit big time promoting myself. So I say thank you to the least genuine ones for boosting my profile. Many others can do this too profit from the least genuine ones. Lets turn this in to a positive. :)

I think you are mistaking the Enjoys list for a service list, which as I pointed out before it is not, it is a mixture of things that we say we may enjoy, some are not even practical as being a service. I enjoy swinging and have that ticked as it is something that I enjoy. I would never go to a swingers club with a client but it is still something that I enjoy doing with my OH.

I gave my advice in good faith and believe that if people spice up their profiles with a little more interesting things on their enjoy list it may not look so bland and I also stated I was not sure it would actually increase bookings. As i often have said, we all work in different ways, I NEVER feel that I have the right to criticise how others operate. People can choose what advice they wish to take or leave.

But hey, the post is about if it is slow at the minute or not and for me it has not been, in fact quite the opposite, so maybe my carefree attitude is not as bad as other try and make out.

Sarah if you want to treat the ridiculously-titled 'Enjoys' list (and whilst I realise they can't call it 'Will Tolerate For Money', it's a bloody stupid name) as some kind of irrelevant blog space that's entirely up to you but I think it's pretty safe to say that to virtually everybody else it's intended as a list of services offered and punters understand this too.

If mine was a list of things I enjoyed then bareback and OWO would both be on mine, but since I don't offer either to the people by whom the list is intended to be read it would be utterly stupid to include them and I would expect to eventually have some serious problems if I did.

Either way, one thing my AW profile is not is 'bland', despite my services list being limited, and yet you won't find posts from me about being quiet in this thread. Perhaps that's because I don't treat punters like morons.

Clients have no rights? Seriously?? These are your CUSTOMERS, of course they have rights, at the very least they should receive what your profile or website offers!

If reading punter-led forums have taught me anything, its that punters don't like to be lied to. Whether that's nationality, bait & switch, old photos, weight gain/loss, obvious age differences or offering services that are refused on the day, punters have to place their trust in what they see is on offer. It's the lying WGs that give us all a bad name, and forces the need for punting forums/reviews.

The thing is the way clients view the favorites list is for services. Clients bring us business so at least they deserve respect. It doesn't make sense to me about deceiving ones own business because that is what it is. As those lose out in the end not building it but hindering damping. I will never understand as am very honest with what is advertised. So the only ones for deceit about services offered will be the others who do this already in the same club.

Of course any escorts who post deceiving clients in such a way expect at least not all will be in favor. Especially the genuine ones. Personally this act is such a shame. That others feel the need to get more business but little do they know it is damaging their business in the long run. As clients talk about avoiding such and such. No matter how much the OP tries to make her doing clients wrong look the right thing it will never work as many keep coming back. From a young child we are taught what is right and wrong.

Post by: Caledonia on 24 June 2014, 01:31:07 am
As far as I am concerned I am running a business and client's should expect the services offered (unless it clearly states on my profile that certain ones are at my discretion).

I mean if I bought a washing machine because it said it had a 10kg drum and could wash a king size 15 tog duvet, only to have it delivered to find it only has a 5kg drum and I could hardly fit in a single 7.5 tog duvet in it, then not only would I be pissed, I would be wanting my money back and would probably report the company.

PS: Before anyone says anything, yes I know that clients can't actually report us to Trading Standards or whoever  :)

Been pretty busy here in Leeds past few days.
I think everyone has quiet days sometimes despite what some say, and then it is time to boost your profiles and adverts abit but no by being misleading in any way. I said this earlier in the thread. I really don't think its a good idea to be advising newer girls to start ticking services they are not willing to provide. Not only is it making them look like the dishonest working girl people assume us to be but it potentially puts them in a really awkward position where the client could get really stroppy.
As for punters on punting forums...these are our punters or at least a proportion of them!
I also think we all give advice on here, there isn't much better advice than suggesting upping advertising and new pics etc so its unfair to say no-one tries to help. If being told to fib on profiles is considered good advice then people are going to disagree.

I listen to clients during bookings and it just confirms any online related complaints on punter forums what have seen. EI has both it is interesting the escorts and clients talk. Even more so when read about escorts ripping clients off for what ever reason just is another conformation. I sure don't need to know more as clients inform me themselves. So when read about clients being deceived it sure does matter like we say we are human with feelings. Well guess what.... Clients are too and to start practicing what is preached for a start will go well. Or to not be hypercritical. Things like this makes me even more determined to be even more successful. So I say all the best.

Yes I would rather have the odd quiet day but at least I know the bookings I do are more likely to go well and I'll have a good reputation for being honest, upfront and that I do what I say I will do.I like the money but I also like doing a good job and being proud of my reputation.

Okay. I only tick on my enjoy list the services that are available to clients. Thats what is is for. There is no point ticking something you like to do if you have no intention of allowing it with a client. Its for them not us, its for them to see if what they are seeking is available to them via us.

Saying that though they do not have an automatic right to certain services, the disclaimer is "clean and healthy" and some who are not  clean and healthy still do expect certain things that are not available to them as individuals because of their own shortfalls. I feel its best to inform a guy on the spot if he wants something that he cannot have as to why he cannot have it. It may make him stop and thing and evaluate his body and how he presents it to others. A clean, healthy and respectful client has the right to access to everything on my enjoys list* as thats why he is paying me. I am my own business, my enjoys list is business related information for my clients.

*The only thing a clean, healthy nice guy doesnt have automatic rights to is my a level service, he has to pay extra for that and even then if he is happy to pay the extra I cannot let him know if its possible till I see his willy erect. I do let them know this though before they make the booking for it.  Its size related lol

They have every right to be as informed as possible before they make the decision as to wether they want to come to see me or not. An informed client is a willing and happy client

Okay, monday was shite here but OMG, it went crazy yesterday, I had my second highest earning day since coming back to this but I bet Im going to pay for it today lol?you know how it goes. Will probably be getting the "bj for ?20" texts all day now.

New poster here, well where do I begin? firstly I have escorted on and off for the last 30 years and this is the worst I have ever known it, I used to advertise in the contact magazines and that used to do me well..then I used to advertise in the local paper (extortionate ?170 for 4 days) now I use the internet and many different directorys and I have always been happy with 2-3 clients a day and I dont mind if they are hours or half hours its more a regular income than the amount of money for me. Well this month of June has been the worst month in living memory for clients...I have made this month what I usually make in a week so its gone to 1-3 a week and my phone is dead...like some I wondered if someone had posted a bad review somewhere or if AW have a secret compartment only Service Seekers can see that might have reviews on? I can't understand how for so many years I have lived comfortable with my regulars and a few newbies every week to going to zilch? where do they all go all at once?? so I  looked up WG's with my post code to find there are over 30 WG's within 1 mile of my post code including 5 new seemingly similar profiles from young WG's from Romania and Poland who are offering everything including one who is offering bareback...I dont know if this is why Im quiet or if I'm being paranoid...I've decided to extend my opening hours into the evening. Its very scary when everything just drops off so suddenly.

My phone isn't ringing too much but I'm still getting bookings in advance and I'm not doing too terribly, nearly at normal, really... but I've definitely noticed the phone being quiet. You know it's bad when even the time wasters aren't calling.

Helen, there isn't a secret AW thing and no review site is well-known enough to impact anyone's income too much. So don't be paranoid. And don't worry about the young EE girls who are offering bareback: young girls are not your competition. It's not like  men will see a mature escort because a younger one isn't available. They'll see a mature escort because that's what they like. And bare backers are also not your competition. For every guy who looks for that service I'm pretty sure there is another who would avoid them like the plague.

It's quiet for everyone, I think. The most you can do is focus on how you're marketing yourself. New photos can help.

I still have 2 weeks before the rent is due so I am not panicking just yet but yes when the phone it dead I do start to get nervous :-/, although I am now offering phone chat and webcam while I wait for clients to ring and that can make you quite a bit of credits in private mode lol ;-)

Helen, I found your post so interesting.

It's always good to hear how things are going for people who have been in the business for so long ... And still surviving.  So sorry things have taken a nosedive of late.

You must see the vast differences in the number of clients that make bookings nowadays, compared to what you saw in years gone by. 

I only started whoring eight years ago and in those days it wasn't unusual to see 8 to 10 and more in one day, four or five days per week.  Nowadays many are lucky to see that number in a week, the difference being though, is that that is what they are used to. Many of my bookings were 30 mins or one hour bookings.  A few longer but longer bookings just don't float my boat.  My tolerance level starts to wain after an hour  ::)

The other thing I find amazing with whoring is that in the years I've been around the business, the prices have not increased much, if at all and in some cases, as the prossie gets older she has had to decrease her prices.  Where is the pay police for that? Joking!!!

Anyway, thanks for your post.  I don't often read this thread and do apologise for the lateness in posting after yours.

I have been in and out for 30 years with a couple of years escorting then a few years in a normal job and back to escorting again and so on but its unbelievable how its all changed.
When I first started it was ?30 for half hour and there was no such thing as a 1 hour booking they were all half hours and it consisted of a massage, covered oral and sex or HR nothing else was on the menu and it wasnt expected. Men knew their place and didnt mess you about because they were so pleased to find someone to visit. After a few years break I came back and I was suprised that services like OWO and DFK are now the norm although I realise not every escort offers these services. GFE's were unheard of along with services like rimming etc (I didnt know what it was lol) I do miss the old days as it was more straightforward the clients were easier to please. I think the internet and porn have contributed a lot to what men expect from an escort. I do miss the old days lol

Had a last minute overnight booking yesterday evening so I got 2 hours on a train and luckily the guy was genuine

It should not have been luck - before you get on a train for a booking like that, get a deposit that will at least cover the travel costs!

I had seen him twice before and had phoned through to his hotel room before I got on the train :-)

Well I was very busy yesterday so I have finally had to admit to myself that busy times and quiet times no longer exist. Its busy days or quiet days now. Its like this industry is a giant wave undulating up and down from one extreme to the next on a day to day basis these days. Even traditional busy and quieter times of the month cannot be guaranteed. Its all flipped on its head and twisted sideways. Just gotta take each day as it comes x

With a general lack of cash about and the market so flooded with escorts from around the world some girls are going to float but many arn't. Personally I think unless you have an unusual speciality and you really stand out offering a well above the norm offering a brilliant well priced service or you have a very strong loyal regular client base you become just one of hundreds in your area.....
Myself I cant understand the men who visit girls with their very dubious profiles, with bad english 0 feedback offering the world but dont deliver.
Many of these men are very experienced punters so they should know the odds are not in their favour for a good "punt" under these circumstances.
They're open to bait and switch, mislead about services, given poor time and unclean girls and surroundings, pimps, mechanical and depressed girls who could very well be trafficed.  :FF
But before these men learn that all that glitters isnt gold they are like moths to a flame when they will see the next dodgy profile showing a pretty face and a size 8 body with the promise of her being "like no other girl" off they trot yet again with their hard earned...silly buggers! until clients start voting with their cash to visit genuine established escorts and not fly support the by night rip offs all genuine escorts will suffer as the UK punting cashflow hemorrhaging out of the UK.
Boy thats a long post! lol this is just my personal opinion I dont mean to offend anyone.

It used to be the same when I advertised in the Daily newspaper a few years ago, ?170 for 4 nights and all you got was 3 lines without a physical description or a website address so already under pressure then add to that ?140 a week rent for the flat i was using, after travel expenses and odds and sods it means over ?350 needs to come in before I saw anything for myself.
There is nothing more soul destroying than paying out to work, but when you take put all your expenses you are left with very little if anything for yourself.
Personally would not shell out anything I didn't have to then everything I make how small or large is all mine. I no longer pay for advertising except to AW to show my tel number 1 credit a day so that's about ?20 a month but that's OK.
I no longer pay an extortionate rent for a flat I don't need or the travel expenses to and fro.
Now days it seems the sensible thing to do is "cut your coat according to your cloth"

I seem to be ridiculously quiet at the moment, last week was dire with more than a few time wasters and only 4 bookings actually took place, nothing except time waster texts and calls over weekend and only 2 confirmed regulars booked this week so far.
Hopefully, considering its only Monday this week will pick up a bit.

For various reasons I worked from a private flat in Billingshurst yesterday & today and have been extremely busy considering it seems to be in the middle of nowhere. No other girls working in a 6 mile radius, a lot of guys from local villages were among the guys who came to see me.

I rented the room from a guy on Adultwork and will post a review of the place, seems other girls have also worked there.

I know lots of variables and everyone's different etc, but I'm way down this week on my normal count which I'm usually happy with. I wondered if being the first week of August - I know people like this week to go away on holidays and so forth  - was part of the reason.

But I did drop my prices last month and I got a surge of custom (I dropped them because I'd changed areas, the prices where I had been before were generally a bit higher and because I'm working full time over summer) but this week my numbers have dropped below what they were before the price cut.

It's not a huge issue if it's just this week and I know everyone had peaks and falls, but when the drop is dramatic is does leave me scratching my head a bit. ???

Dead as a bloody doornail for me right now :S  Am offering a reduced rate for August, as I know school holidays and so on cut into business, but it's really depressing, especially after a good start working in this country (where tbh my business has been lower than in North America anyway).  Starting to get rather low over it if I'm honest!

I know it's said school hols are quiet so yes this week is quieter but last week was my busiest for months. Last August I remember was very busy but then my busy might not be classed as busy by someone else, like those who tour. Anyway, the rain, extreme hot weather etc makes no difference to my bookings. No rhyme nor reason! Maybe the payday time does slightly.

Weirdly today has picked up and I'm quite busy. But it's normally everyday like this and after a VERY dead 4/5 I'm suddenly shunted into activity that I wasn't expecting.

Weird how after a few days of just chilling out in town or watching movies makes me want more of the same and even though I need the dolla because this is my last full week for a while, I'm unusually struggling to want to answer the phone.

I get addicted to busy. Then addicted to slow  8)

What I find a good thing that passes time during the slow dips is staying calm and relaxed doing things. It sure picks up in good time. This is why I think it is important to have a life outside of escorting as well.

The majority, though not all who get paid monthly get paid on 28th, it's a longstanding thing. 28th is most popular though over the years other companies have started paying at different times of the month. 

I've noticed though that while I've been working that the run up to the 28th of the month is quieter and I never booked a tour for just before 28th as it usually was a waste of a tour.

When I worked in offices we were paid on the 30th of each month and if that fell on the weekend it would be on the Friday before.

Had a reg beginning August ask if he could have a session then pay me on the 25th when he gets paid ::) I said er no but that was the bank holiday so not sure if he made it up or simply made a mistake and meant 26th.

Next week will be busy trust me! this is when guys get paid, some get paid at the end of the month but it differs for everyone else!

Everyone is feeling the pinch! even I am, I paid ?800 to my credit card that I am trying to pay off! it's left me short lol!

So I am working hard to earn some cash! it is tough! but if you attract work it will come to you! Chill and do something else besides you wait for the phone to ring!

Last week was the run up to pay day so guys making enquiries around the board so that they knew where they wanted to go once they get paid.

The week after pay day was once a busy time but AFAIK it's not like that anymore.  :(

It is a good idea to use the quiet spells to get listed on other directories or build your  own website. Even one new directory a day makes a difference to where you are seen.

Although my profile is on a number of sites (God knows I didn't put myself on all of them, either. I think they just did it without asking, sometimes) I haven't really seen a lot of trade from many of them. Vivastreet was OK, although I didn't like too many of the callers. Backpage can be OK.

This week is a tinier bit busier but the previous 2 weeks were diabolical to the point where I had to even be careful what I bought for the weekly food shop as I only had ?50.  It wasn't helped last week by the fact it was the time of the month and two guys had to cancel their blowjob appointments owing to work probs.  Mercifully one guy showed up Friday or I would have been struggling to find money for food .....  Not a good place to be.

I just wish I hadn't bought that hair styler now back in July when the money was much better for me as it wouldn't have been such a struggle to pay the garage bill for the wretched car.  Why are cars such high maintenance!  If I didn't need one I really would much prefer to have the cash instead ...!  I have just had to fork out ?200 on a new exhaust and modest car service to flat broke ....

I've said it before and I'll say it again, AW figures have gone from 125,000 in 2006 to 2,700,000 in 2014. With such an increase we can't expect to make the same money today as we did in times gone by.

We just got to suck it up or get out.  The economy just isn't the same now either and guys have other things to spend their monies on so prossies are one of the first things off their list, after all they can have a free toss/watch free porn or get a cam girl to twirl her bits for a lot less. ::)

I escort full time in London for 3 years now..I have always been more or less busy but I notice that lately I got far less requests than before...I know I m not new anymore and its a lot of concurence but globally do you get less business after staying in the same city for few years?
I got my regulars which is good, I advertise in a lot of websites and got my own website, I still make money but the demand is so much lower than before....do you guys feel the same?should I change of area/city?or it just the way it goes for everyone globally..when u re not new anymore then the number of clients dropped...
or maybe its just more quiet everywhere at the moment?
I would love to know your thoughts guys
thanks

Hi girls, if I may join in the discussion....I find that its all about how many clients per day you need. If you need one or two a day ( like me ) so you can pay the high rent and then still have some money for decent food and clothes and cosmetics, then it shouldn't be a problem if you are advertising on at least 2 busy websites, got decent feedback and market yourself well in terms of pricing, location and type of services.

The problem is, for example like my friend, she used to see 7-8 men a day for 200 back in 2006-2008, then recession arrived, new arrivals from EE and the number of  bookings steadily dropped.  Nowadays its nearly  impossible to see anything over 3-4 men a day on a daily basis for 1hr+ bookings. They might come for 15 min and then you can rack up the numbers but it doesn't quite feel the same. I personally wouldn't be able to see 3-4 men a day every day, I would feel burned out rather fast. Some ladies are tougher cookies than me I guess.

My problem is you get a day ( usually Mondays ) when the phone rings nonstop and I can only see 2 or 3 gentlemen at most, so the rest gets turned down. Then no one calls for two days, absolutely dead, then again one call Thursday and then Friday 5 calls within one hour which get missed mostly due to me being busy with a client, sigh.

I work every day but not in the night or even late evening so I am a little limited, but then again I was told I avoid drunk people this way.

I'm like you Rose, I'm limited to how many clients I can see but my daily ideal would be 2-3 I only work office hours I don't do evenings or nights. I can usually see 1-2 a day and occasionally 3 but there have been days when I've seen nobody.
As long as earn a good "wage" from it I'm happy.
Escorting is swings and roundabouts one week I can feel so popular my phones ringing, the money's pouring and it all  seems so easy then the next week all its time wasters, cancellations and lateness. I find it impossible to keep a steady income week to week so I work out my income by the month and it usually balances out.

Post by: Rosamarriott111 on 17 September 2014, 05:48:20 pm
you are right, Helen. I remember seven years ago you could have easily finished by 5pm and done 2-3 bookings by then, and the following day still have a queue of men waiting to see you. Nowadays, you get a week when there are numerous calls, website bookings, email enquiries, way too busy to handle. then the following week its dead.....you never know what is coming tomorrow but I still don't want to become desperate for bookings, such as seeing someone dodgy sounding only to pay my water bill....hard isn't it.

You are all right, 10 years ago money grew on trees for hookers, I still can't complain about business though, as long as I see 3 a day I'm happy, I don't want or need to see more clients than that and being sensible with money over the years means I don't have to fuck countless men everyday anymore! I do weekdays only and always done by 6pm with a wad in my purse, everyone's ideas of busy are different I think x

If I have 2 long bookings, 1 hour or more, I only do those 2 if shorter bookings , half hour or hour then I'll do 3,
I usually do 3 to 4 hours a day 5 days a week, mainly 1 hour bookings, does that make sense! X

I know where you're coming from. Sex work is rapidly losing its appeal for me. What's the point in hooking, if it gives me the same standard of living as stacking shelves in Waitrose?

I would think about not being able to buy any luxuries and freedom not having the freedom to do what times suited. It will be more on the bosses terms do that and this. And any time need off doesn't happen easily. They need given notice to work the rota, where as escorting we decide at an instant. But in with a civy job wouldn't be much demand like guys are phoning time wasting. There's pros and cons but choosing what is right works.

The SP scene has become saturated with thousands of WG's flooding the market. Every other profile on AW is Romanian/Hungarian or Czech. As I see it there is no way back to the good old days,  instead of 100's of WG's clients now have the choice of 1000's and supply has well outstripped demand. I have seen the hourly rates in Birmingham tumble because WG's are competing with each other for clients. ?60 per hour is now not unusual.

I personally have never tried to compete with the EE invasion, I am content and busy as I'd like to be, I suppose if I were just starting out it would be a different story. I believe if you give a good service and look after yourself, looks, figure, general grooming etc then you will be successful and busy, keep on top of your marketing.

I have no desire or ever have to be well known or a "porn starlet" I know some girls do that's fine with me their choice. The work ethic of EE immigrants has affected all types of job not just ours. X

I challenge anyone who's been working for over 5+ years to honestly say their business hasn't taken a nosedive in the last 2-3 years. I'm not in direct competition either as I'm a mature escort I've pleased clients on and off for the past 30 years so there's very little anyone can tell me about the need to stay clean, well groomed and have a pleasant disposition in the face of adveristy, as for pleasing clients and giving them a good service thats a no brainer because if you can't do that you're in the wrong profession.

I am currently living & working in Birmingham full time as an escort and found that in the first week I made ?1000+ which was back in June. Now I am happy when I get 1/2 bookings a day. It seems I also get the same timewasters constantly phoning and texting me.

I am currently looking for a part time job just to give myself some financial security as it's not nice having to spend everyday in my flat waiting for the phone to ring. Luckily I can usually get some money from webcamming but even that is quiet some days.

Post by: Nia Hope on 20 September 2014, 10:00:05 am
Again it's all relative, I have always seen 3 to 4 clients a day and still could but choose not to, once I've reached my money target I go home, yes if you are happy to see more than that a day it would probably be more difficult over the past few years.

So no my income hasn't taken a nosedive x

There do seem to be loads more new girls working in my area so I'd expect supply to outstrip demand.  However, the other day I saw a new client who told me he'd put a Reverse Booking request up on AW and he hadn't got one single bid.  I don't look at these but he told me what he'd said and how much he'd asked and it seemed quite a normal booking.  He then found me and booked me.  So what's happening?  Are there loads of girls looking for work but (like me) not searching AW RBs etc?

Yesterday it was ok until the afternoon, later in the evening it was raining, and I barely had any call. And today, only had 2 clients. Could all this be because of the rain?

Hi,
Any tips on how to improve my profile on AW? Im still relatively new to escorting. Was getting lots of enquiries but it has definitely slowed down now and hardly any enquiries this week (Saturday onwards) and no bookings. I'm absolutely broke and have been made redundant from my civvy job too :-( Is it a quiet week in general or am doing something wrong?

Quiet periods are gonna happen. In any kind of freelance work it's important to save and be prepared for dips in the business. I don't know anything about AW itself, so can't offer any insight about that, but it's absolutely not unusual for work to be slow every now and then.

My very first week on AW was my busiest by some degree, which I assume is purely because you come up as newly listed and thus get more interest. Since then, it has levelled out, but it's fairly consistent. As others have said, it's swings and roundabouts in terms of how busy you can be from week to week.

Are you listed on other directories, too?

Hi ladies,

I'm really quiet at the moment on AW, I went to London on Monday at London Bridge and didn't do one customer, Tuesday I went to Oxford and saw 3 clients, yesterday I did Bracknell and saw 2 clients and today im in Basingstoke and its approaching lunchtime and haven't had one call yet......starting to panic to be honest.  Maybe im just having a bad week and it will pick up, like everyone else I suppose I get my good days and my bad days.

I don't mind travelling, does anyone know anywhere that's busy at the moment? Im probably going to the wrong places.

Appreciate any advice please.

Many Thanks

I've found it rather quiet this week in Birmingham not even timewasters phoning. The last 6 weeks have been really good and now this week its as dead as the grave so far I've only seen a few regulars.
Its the same my friend in Wolverhampton and shes ALWAYS busy. I guess its the time of the month when clients are broke and waiting to be paid. Its strange how they all suddenly disappear at the same time but its the only way I can explain this sudden drop in interest.

I only really do incalls from a rented flat so can't recommend the best hotels to work from, I know a girl that works from the hotels in Thurrock near to lakeside and she does well, is near the m25, a12, a13 all main routes for London commuters etc x

It's dead at the moment.  :FF I'm in Ilford, Essex, but will travel anywhere within London Zones 1-6. I haven't had a booking since 4/10/2014 & that was with a regular. I'm not really in a position to offer incalls, coz I live in a shared house with nosey people, so I guess that cuts my income & likelihood of getting bookings.  :(

Well contrary to what is being said here, my half term looked bloody fantastic because everyone was booking me as I have a week off from uni. I was very pleased. Fantasising about what I was going to buy and everything! (Okay I only fantasised about finally paying rent on time.)

Well of course, I had got it wrong! My week off is actually the week after next. So had to cancel everyone, apologise profusely, and say if they can make it at evening or on the weekend I can do it then. Of course, nobody can make it then. So looks like half term will be quiet for me as well!

On the plus side I now know I am a hot topic when I can make weekdays during the day! They all want what they can't have. ;)

I feel you, can't believe it's 1pm and I've paid to display my number, show as available now and local escorts featuring and all I've had is 1 call which has lead to nothing.

Post by: MsDee on 24 October 2014, 03:01:27 pm
I used to stress about the amount of bookings I would receive.  So i set myself a target for every week, woke up every morning with a positive attitude and kept myself busy during quiet days i.e camming or phone or writing erotica. 

there is no use in getting yourself all stressed out about it being quiet, as it can then have a negative impact not only on your mental health but also on your attitude towards work and in the end possibly lead to you making decisions regarding appointments that could be dangerous.

Everybody has quiet periods it happens but the thing is to take this as an opportunity to ensure you are not left short during quiet periods.  ;)

yep it has dried up for me in the last two days. Half term is here....I paid for Available today and though its only midday I would have normally received one or two calls by now, sigh x
I feel you, can't believe it's 1pm and I've paid to display my number, show as available now and local escorts featuring and all I've had is 1 call which has lead to nothing. Probs for the best for the bext half hour or so though, got 2 cleaners (i'm in a hotel) right outside my door. Same thing last week though, nothing till about 4pm then boom, got 4 clients. Let's hope today's the same x

God I thought it was just me! I'm in Newcastle (I don't know if anyone else is or nearby) & Tues,Wed and yesterday I've had one 30min booking each day. Not a thing up to now today! Just one enquiry that has not followed up. This is dire for me! But of course, I decided to go home yesterday teatime and  what happened? I hot more enquiries than I've had since Tuesday! Grr. Sods law indeed!!

Was gonna do some camming but aw is now down (outage thing) xx

Definitely not alone.  I've only been indie for 2 months (previously with agencies) and I've never experienced a day like this. 3.10pm and only 2 phone calls leading to nothing.

Fluffy bunny - I'm getting concerned, just because I've spent ?500 on my accommodation this week, I've been off for 2 weeks because I didn't have anywhere to work from so I'm now worried I won't have my rent/other bills for this month  :( I totally hear what u are saying. I'm the same, I always aim to start the day positively, but ending up miserable each day.

I hate camming & have to drag my heels to do it  ;) It bores me even more than sitting around lol. I wish I had the talent to talk dirty & do phone chat lol. Looks like I'll be camming this afternoon.....*sigh*

Rosa - good luck! Hope it does work out  :)  :)

Yeah I thought so. I can't always expect it to be busy I guess. Main thing is I've made my hotel money back from yesterday's bookings so I'm not completely out of pocket, just need really made much profit but main thing I guess is making my accommodation money back which I have x

It certainly is worrying when you know you need at least 3 hour bookings in the next 2 weeks or you won't be able to pay the bills! I have 3 calls today, none had bothered to read my advert properly, I actually hung up on 2 of them.

Yeah I feel the same. Just pissed off cause I ran out of credits and for the 1st time had to buy my own. Had to do it by card and the minimum you can get is 10credits so it's cost me 20quid to advertise today and so far for nothing :(

Ladies, how many of you update your profiles?  I.e photos, wording, blogs, erotica that kind of thing.  i take all my own photos with my ipad or camera, i make my own video's.  I find if i do just 1hr of camming it helps if anything else it brings in the credits, Since yesterday i have made ?72 on my profile content alone.

You also have to remember, guys like to read blogs, they like to see new photo's they tend to add you to their hotlist etc.  Every little helps as Tesco's would say lo

Oh they read them alright, but i tend to not discuss sex in my blogs and try and either discuss whats in the news, what bugs me about world issues or anything that tickled me pink, my clients seem to love my blogs and I have actually had new clients mention that it is not only my profile but also my blogs that attracted them to me.

Half terms vary depending on where in the country but where I live it can be either this coming week or the past week.

It is always noticeably slower so isn't even worth talking about really.  Surely we all must know this by now!

I've never done blogs and I have asked a few from AW if they read them and they said they didn't, they could get a feel of you from the profile although price, photo and location were the main things of course but I haven't asked everyone so I might do one as I can always find something to say!! and see if it makes a difference.

I have some clients who notice every little change in my profile, read all my blog posts and subscribe to my gallery all the time. Then others who just look at pictures and send an email, without reading the first line!
I tend to just blog about what book I'm reading, TV shows and movies I've watched etc. A few clients have said they read it and ask me about things I've mentioned in there, like how my cat is and how an interview went or something, which is nice and gives us something to talk about. I spent ages chatting to one client about Game of thrones because he'd seen in a blog post that I liked it and we had a really long chat all about it.

I've been ill this week though, only a cold so I can get out and do things but just can't work, had to cancel two outcalls :FF

I no longer show my number on my AW profile and I'm no longer advertising as escorting but my phone can ring anything up to 40-50 times a day, but I just ignore it.  I need it on for messages from AW when phone chat bookings and things like that come through.

I'm so quiet at the moment, I've even resorted to checking the toxic board for a negative review. I really know it doesn't have that much power, but my paranoia is overruling reason right now. Maybe it's time for a photo shoot to beef up my pre-Christmas trade. I know I should just go with the flow, but being quiet makes me feel undesirable, old and ugly. At the same time I'm sad that I'm judging myself in that way, measuring my value by how many men are prepared to pay to have sex with me. I find this one of the really damaging aspects of this job.

I really, honestly don't think a negative review would have any tangible impact.

I was all fresh out of the shower, smelling lovely, and I get a 15min quickie booking (I offer them coz on quiet days they can
be a life-saver at lunch-time!), the guy's friendly and lovely enough, but he's HUGE, he doesn't smell too fresh, I have to
give him OWO, and I feel all dirty again..  :(

I cant see what area you are from but I find the weeks that are the quietest is when there are more touring girls in the area, punters like a new face as they spend

but I cant knock them, we are all in it together as this probably happens when I visit someone else's patch

most days looking at the same profile. Tip:Every few months change your profile pics to new ones. I find this tends to increase the number of visitors to your

profile.

I also use the AVAILABLE TODAY facility if the site has one and my phone hasn't stopped this morning. Last week was quiet and so I would be happy with 8 - 12

too

About 3 months ago I put new pics in AW and in PG too and for about a month I was very busy from the site, my busy anyway, so I wonder whether there are some clients who get notified of new pics and decide to book although most of them weren't members so could just be coincidence? Or they only want to see ones whose pics aren't more than a month old? I still get new people but the rush also happened about 6 months ago too when I added new pics. I might try some more. They seem to like my T shirt one. I have a rude t shirt so might put that up.

I think they do get notified of new pics if they have hotlisted you . . . also every time new pics are uploaded they appear on "latest pics " on the home page.

Keeping pics fresh and current is a must as many are wary of escorts using out of date pics.

Speaking of pics , I have been trying to upload my new ones via the AW andriod app. They request you DL " ariguma Up " app....Its not working for me , I wait 30mins while it uploads then it takes me to a blank page . It did work once for me , but not since . Im going to have to get them uploaded the old fashioned way

If you get pix taken of you in say ten to fifteen different outfits at the one time, then every month/several weeks or so you can add a different set of pix.

Working Weds-Fri this week though and have 3 advance bookings already all with good feedback and possibly seeing a regular so fingers crossed this week is a complete turn around cause I really need the money after having 2 crap weeks.

Hiya girls,

I've been alot more quiet since the summer. When I first started up until the summer holidays I was busy everyday, now somedays I get nothing.
Would any of you mind taking a look at my adultwork?

Thanks x

Oh dear, it takes all sorts lol. Wish someone would keep me in credits, my first 2 months I never had to buy credits to advertise but do now :(

Well today is quite :( Don't know if the weather has anything to do with it. Had 3 bookings yesterday and I signed off early thanks to the 3rd client making me sore and today I've only had a 1 hour booking and the phone's been dead :(
I have an advance booking tomorrow so hoping he'll show up. Hate how quite it is although thankfully better than last week for me. Wanting to go xmas shopping this weekend as well and get it all out of the way.

It seems a lot quieter these days compared with last year it can't just be me noticing it.

I am a bit lazy anyway though lol.

I find if I do a blog here and there and put the mobile on AW to show my number it helps somewhat.

I always notice a big difference between summer and winter-time.. They must just be hornier in hot weather..
Over the summer months my phone would go crazy 24/7, now I have days I only get a few calls, not even
all resulting in bookings..  :(

Omg asking for a freebie, clients never seize to amaze me.

Had 1 so far today who took the piss. 5mins left and he decides he wants to go again. I told him he'd have to make it quick and he was taking forever wanting to do oral then sex then hand relief then wanted sex again. He'd gone over by 10 mins at this point so I told him no. He'd already cum twice before that, what more does he want.
Got a booking at 6, fingers crossed not a TW x

Very slow up here in the frozen north as well. Went from 3~ meetings as a weekly average to one client every 5-6 days since mid-October. Boring!

I'm up north as well, as in freezing Scotland lol . The weather definitely makes a difference..
Had one 30mins today, he wasn't very fresh  :(, and then squirted his spunk all over me, my face and my freshly washed hair :FF
Jumped in the shower soon as he left, but I kept thinking I could still smell him!
He did give me an extra tenner tho, which was nice  ;)

Omg he sounds like a guy I saw today who was a right cheap skate! Tried knocking my rates down yesterday and he was getting on my nerves so I just lied and said I was fully booked then today he asked to see me for 30mins but for a tenner less. I gave in and said yes cause my 6pm cancelled on me. He turned up then said he'd have 15mins and see how he goes. I charge 50 for 15mins and he asked to pay 40 instead. I said no. He just stayed the 15mins and then he text me after saying that maybe next times booking can be free. Like yeah right, what planet are you on mate!? Wouldn't surprise me if it was the same guy.

Maybe consider doing some special offer for some time or try to knock your prices little bit?

I'd agree with Carol - or at least check how your prices compare with other similar escorts in your area?

And try advertising in different places, maybe one of the local escort directories.

I rarely work Saturdays. This morning, starting at 9am, my phone started ringing.

One booking who very politely cancelled well ahead of time because his train was going to be late. Another inquiry had been for the same time and he'd booked elsewhere by the time I said "I've had a cancellation if you'd like to try for 10." Another guy realised that my location wasn't at all doable for him today. Then a guy no-showed after I said that I was sorry but I couldn't start off a half-hour booking in the shower as I'd literally just dried and styled my hair (I even said, if this is a deal-breaker for you, I understand. Please let me know. Couldn't be bothered to say that he wasn't going to show.) Two time-wasters.

So, I've made sweet fuck-all today in spite of a busy phone.

This is definitely the quietest I've ever been.. On the plus-side, seems even the TW's can't be bothered lol,
so the few calls I do get tend to be genuine.
And thankgod for my regulars!
I don't do out-calls, I'd probably be busier if I did, I'm sure guys would pay the extra money for having someone
come to them instead of having to go out in the cold..

Don't know what I am doing wrong,  business was fine until this week? Yesterday I had 6 guys either cancel at short notice, or just not turn up!  Just done my first client in 4 days,  and it was only a half hour booking!

I've just started offering incall days and now outcalls seem like soo much effort in comparison! I love being able to lie around between bookings watching TV and eating biscuits and not having to rush off to get on public transport (it takes me at least an hour to get anywhere in London, it's just stupidly busy)

This week is the strangest I have ever come across. Only getting requests for tantric massages the last 2 days, guys calling and saying they will call back, had 2 x 30 minute bookings from AW (which is rare) and just general enquiries with no intention of booking. Don't know what's going on?

update it regularly with the odd new pic and a blog..

I'm not really finding it quiet, just unprofitable. Phone is ringing enough times. The time wasters seem to be able to find my number. Particularly the cross dressers needing to witter on interminably about make up colours, wigs, scenarios etc. Every self obsessed w****r is out there, but real clients are a bit sparse for some reason

I'm thinking I should probably invest in advertising in more places instead of relying on AW.. (I know, good thinking

It's just that I've never had to change strategies before, things have always been ticking over quite nicely even in
quiet times, maybe I'm getting old, aaarrrghh! :o

Post by: Kay on 12 November 2014, 03:42:17 pm
I'm a bit like Sourgrapes - lots of enquiries, but they're usually from timewasters or the type of client I don't see. Oh, and the cretinous Brummie who has phoned me twice within the last week and asked me to stay on the phone while he "finishes off"...

I've gone on Vivastreet with a 30-day free trial, but am not impressed - only one firm booking from it, and it's frustrating not being able to be very descriptive in your profile or list prices etc. (I tried, but they kept refusing it.) I don't intend to keep paying for it.

I pay to display my number on AW as and when I have the credits, but haven't found 'Available today' made any difference, though that's possibly as I'm a niche taste.

I'm curious is December busy aka christmas run up? I've only ever done one christmas month & it was crazy good for me as in ?400's easily. But i have no idea if it was just flukey, At the strip clubs it gets busy but that's probably down to christmas parties & increased drinking.

Just wondering wether to leave the christmas shopping to December?

Post by: Lushblossom on 13 November 2014, 09:34:01 am
KayHerts Vivastreet should let you put the prices up in the ad as when I used to use them there was no problem - do give them a phone call to ask them to sort it out.

Unless they have changed their policy again but it was only this year (until spring) I used them.
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: mature helen on 13 November 2014, 10:06:11 am
I've taken their free month deal and yes you can put your prices in but you can't stipulate what type of client you are interested in meeting unlike AW so even though my phones a lot busier 90% I wouldn't see.
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Red KB on 13 November 2014, 11:26:29 am
I do it's rubbish paying Vivastreet for advertising when you can't detail what you offer and then you have to pay extra to list your website!

Sorry I went a bit off topic. This week is also slow for me, it's been very up and down the last few weeks.

Ahh I've jinxed myself, phone's gone dead now. Guy i'm seeing at 6 for an hour with good feedback on AW, he said on top of my 120 rate for the hour he'll tip me another 30 if he's pleased with the booking. Bit random but if he does that and I make 150 for the hour and my 8pm shows then it won't be too bad a day profit wise. I never count on anything until the money is in my hand though.

This week is really disaster! I did not have any bookings yet. I have change my pictures, I keep all my adds on the top ( I have many ), and I don't know what else I can do?? :FF And today I had only one booking for 5pm. This guy 15 mins after 5 moved our booking for 6pm. I wasn't happy to wait but because I really need cash I have agree. So he came at 6pm and he said: " I am sorry I am late but I had really bad day at work but don't take this personality but I wont stay with you. " so I have asked " why " and then he said " oh I couldn't see your face pictures ( I don't show my face on the photo ) and this is not what I espected " and he left!!! ???
I really feel down at the moment. I working few years and I never had situation like that!!! From 3 weeks I making 300? a week and this week I didn't get even single penny :FF. What else I can do ??

Gah, I am ridiculously quiet here in the South East.  First part of the week wasn't too bad all, but it's died a death these past couple of days.  I've had nothing but idiots on the phone, noone cheerful or remotely nice sounding. Regs have disappeared off the face of the earth! And even though it's so quiet and I won't meet my weekly target this week, the morons I've spoken to are not making me feel even slightly pressured to take a booking with them!

Plus, they've been wanting to come later in the evening and by that time (because it gets dark so early, it feels like it's really late) the last thing I want to do is see clients when I've been dressed and ready all day in vain. Luckily, I'm in one of those moods where it's not phasing me too much or making me panic or doubt myself.  I hate feeling like that.  Fortunately, I'm just enjoying personal projects, being in my own little stress free bubble and looking forward to it picking up again.  Camming has been rather busy though. 

Glad to hear I'm not the only one!  When you're quiet, you can feel like the only escort in the world that's quiet eh!  It'll pick up again girls, it always does!  xx

Well, today was the first Friday since I started in the summer that I didn't have a single booking. I had three yesterday, but only one actually happened. Hope my two weekend bookings go ahead!

I've been a little quiet, but had one of my regulars yesterday who comes every month and said " last one till the new year now! "

Yes it is quiet everywhere....but isn't this the month before Xmas? Presents needs to be bought, and wives check money more, as the expense of Xmas does take it's toll?

Chin up girls x you never know today you maybe run off you feet! Xx

Once presents have been bought, wife's happy and turkey's been bought, you will see they want their Xmas present, and pretend to be Santa and empty their sack!!!! Lol  ;D ;D

I find it goes quiet then busy then quiet then beating them away from door with broom! It's like every job, but understand money is always useful this time of year x

Whoever suggested updating photos was right! I had a friend snap a few last night and this morning my phone has rung like crazy. I also overhauled my entire profile - changed the general "about me" wording, and even changed my AW nickname. (It still contains my name, but is just different.) So, yeah - it helps. However, it also means that a lot of chancers think I'm "fresh meat" and so I'm getting silly calls and no shows.

Today was my FIFTH no show/cancellation this week. And I have a suspicion that my 2pm is also going to now show.

Yup. Two no-shows and two did-shows. Utter no-shows mystify me. I suppose some of them are deliberately fucking with us but I think others simply think we're not deserving of common courtesy once they've changed their minds for whatever reason. How hard is it to text and say "I'm sorry - been called into work. I'll try to see you another time soon."? I am pretty sure being called into work is the equivalent of leaving the wallet in the car, but it's OK if they make up an excuse. It's just the courtesy of cancelling.

I didn't realise that it makes me show up as a new member. I just assumed that I would catch the eye of someone who has been scrolling on past me for the last few weeks. However, the two who did come to see me just raved about how great I looked. I have been working really hard on my appearance (makeup and hair) and so my new photos reflect my new look. The second gent said "some of your older photos just don't do you justice." He indicated that he remembered seeing my profile before, and I guess it was the new pics that reeled him in.

I finished a bit early yesterday but my phone rang all evening, as well. I don't know if it was genuinely busier yesterday or if it was all down to the new profile, but I'm feeling optimistic about the coming week.

I don't think it's thoughtlessness, but totally intentional passive-aggressive behavior of guys who get off on knowing they've cost/lost us money. It gives them a little thrill for the duration of the time they've booked to know we sit there pissed off and stressed, missing our financial target, and it being too late for us to re-book the slot. Utterly c***ish behavior used by men who don't have much going on in their own lives. ::)

Exactly Sourgrapes and some are jealous of the potential money we can make. I remember one text I got years ago from one who was due to arrive that he's not paying some old slapper 80 quid for half hour of shit when it takes him all day to earn this. He was one angry escort wannabee.

I had my usual Sunday persistent TW. My new photos on Friday I put up have made my PG go mad but not bookings. They're not as sexy as my old ones, more a normal me though.

It's a bit quiet today - had a guy text to confirm at 10 as asked (he'd booked two days ago) and he said "confirming today for 3-ish." I texted him back to ask if he could clarify the time and haven't heard off him since. I can only guess that I somehow put him by asking if he could be more precise on the time. We're meant to be an easy sexual "yes" in a world of "no" and some of them shy off at the faintest hint of friction from us. However, I can't operate professionally if people give me vague-ish times about bookings.  ::)

Overall, though, it has been a pretty good week. As I said, new photos and overhauled profile made a difference. I just hope it carries on until Christmas.

Yup - that's what I was thinking, too. I've had guys say "Oh, I'm in your neighbourhood,  but I only have ?50...." hoping that I will reply to say "Oh! That will do!" I don't - not because the extra money really matters but because if they play that sort of game they will play others. I suppose part of it comes down to pride.

I think you are right! I was new, myself, this time last year so it didn't effect me. But there are fresh new faces and there's a real enthusiasm for "Christmas Whores" because they're assumed to be less jaded and more horny.

I've foolishly done this a few times, normally it's been 10 off my normal rate and everyone of them has a been a nightmare to deal with during the booking so I don't bother now,it's not worth it.

All in all, it's definitely picked up a bit.. Didn't have too bad a day today, got quite a few "requests" and a couple
of bookings for the next couple of days.
It felt like I'd been making no money at all, but I just looked back on the last couple of weeks and it added up to a
half decent sum, I was surprised..  ???
I think I've just been comparing it to the crazy-busy summer time, when your phone goes non-stop, it's nothing like that,
but I'm still surviving..  ;)

I usually just say that I think it's unfair to my loyal, regulars to give reduced rates to a client I haven't seen before.  I do have special offers advertised on my profile which are discounts at certain times of the day, or oral only sessions which are very good offers and suggest that maybe they could have one of those sessions instead. But I do agree with you,  the ones asking for the world for a massive discount are usually complete nightmares if they do ever turn up! X

I fully agree, when I was fairly new to the trade, I gave the rare one a discount, but boy do they take the Piss with EVERYTHING!

I had one annoying reg constantly haggling for a discount and also BB! I ended up telling him where to shove his custom and to go find a diseased ridden 10 dollar whore!

I now don't do discounts full stop but I do provide a 10 min blow n go service at a cheaper rate than my 15 min quicky.

As for the "Xmas whores", I've recently noticed 4 Romanian birds pop up, surprise surprise, all in the axact same location and their profiles created within a month of each other.....yes, I like to snoop now and again  ;D haha.

After a surprisingly pleasant week last week, I found myself struggling yesterday, and only 3 phone calls so far today. One guy, withheld number, ringing for the second time, saying he'd read me website, and could I give him any further information. When I asked what he needed to know over and above what I look like, what I do, what I charge, where I am, my working hours etc. he didn't know. Presumably thought I'd spend 20 minutes digging up random pieces of information to amuse him?

Second phone call was a guy who'd been before, this time wanted a half hour instead of an hour, but then started to try haggling my half hour rate down, then request full body latex.    :FF

Third guy wants to know if I have a "toilet box", since water sports in the bath are not his bag. Once I said no, he wanted to know if I "do custard pies".

All of this prompted me to google the current moon phase, just to find out that we're nearing Full Moon again.

Had a completely dead day all day yesterday, and then the phone started going non-stop about 10pm  :FF
I was in my jammies by then so told them I was finished, bloody typical...
if it happens again tonight I'll have to work late...  :(

Although I did have a couple of bookings earlier in the day, my phone really went crazy in the later evening, as well.

Unfortunately I just can't see guys that late. I'm exhausted and, frankly, nervous about what sort of guy might want to pop by at 10pm. I do answer my phone up until 10 to explain that my evenings have to be booked a bit earlier. Some of them actually work late and so would be willing to book on another day. I tell them that if I don't have something booked for the late evening by 7 or so, I pack it in for the evening, although I can take later bookings in advance, "but I prefer to be finished by 11 or so."

I'm doing incalls today from hotel and I paid extra 60 quid for late check out. I got one 45 minutes booking and all the rest - and phone is ringing, yeah, but - the rest are really really quiet guys who has no clue who I am, where I'm based, nothing in general and they want to meet a any time and date, but today. And all of them sound are SO quiet  ??? Maybe it's one person doing prank, I have no idea.

Thanks ladies, i guess we are all different as we're all over the UK.
Normally I have new clients and regulars as i dont have enough time with work as part time. Maybe i was hoping for extra cash as xmas is coming up and I've dry patch!!! I even opted to work all weekend and not one client messaged me. It's a first for me.
It's taught me a valuable lesson tbh, i should be saving more for dry spells.
Bills are piling up i need to think of something, maybe selling stuff on gumtree would tie me over.

It's 4 weeks before Xmas, it's not quite payday. People just don't have the money to splash out on luxuries (us). Cams/phones are dead too.

You need to take this time to update ads, write a blog post, find new places to advertise, update your photos, look for new lingerie/outfits/toys. Lots of things that could be spending your time more wisely than worrying about a slow few days.

And - if you haven't already - start saving. When you have a run of lots of bookings/income, save as much of it as you can. Then a slow few days won't worry or hurt you.

If you're on the bread line to the point of selling off treasured belongings, how about trying to advertise the suck'n go described on another thread, before you let go of nice stuff you've previously spent money on? Maybe just re-word your profile for a few days, and see how it goes....

What Cat says is all true.  I will add though ...... Here comes the resident voice of doom .... It's the last payday before Christmas so might not be as fruitful as we would hope perhaps.   Everyone has their last minute things to buy before Christmas so we just got to hang in there.

I hope things pick up for everyone, I think were all taking a hit at the minute.

I dropped my prices by ?20 yesterday and that seems to have had my phone going crazy. Had 3 in yesterday, took the day off today (shouldnt be doing that really but hey) but have still had a lot of interest.

If you can afford it get some xmas offers on would be my advice.

I've noticed a lot of deaths and injuries recently, and you cannot tell whether they are genuine or not - I do know regulars I've been seeing consistently for a long time don't seem to have any of these mishaps befall them.

I did also have to cancel an outcall at the last minute due to a problem with my vehicle last week, so things do happen to people.

Frustratingly quiet today for me. I could weep - such a waste of precious time that I'll never get back. Had a two hour corporal punishment session booked in for this evening. New guy, so unknown quantity. All was well until this morning, when he starts humming and hawing about coming to mine, how about dungeon, then how about coming to my hotel, what implements blah, blah. Phone otherwise quiet, so indulging the self-obsessed twat with sms ping pong over a couple of hours, until he decides he'll do it some other night.

I had a booking for tonight, then I had a booking-request on AW which I accidentally accepted (as I was accepting
another one and then it automatically accepted both  :FF)
So I asked the 1st guy if he was still wanting the booking, long story short, he was being an arse, saying "oh,
so you've got another booking now, oh ok "
To which I replied I DIDN'T, IT WAS STILL HIS, needless to say he didn't turn up, I turned the other guy down and ended
up with no booking  >:(
Pretty fuming coz this guy has booked me a few times and not turned up, and now he's making out it's my fault!!  :FF

On top of that I only had one booking all day today, and I've got about 2000 tomorrow!  >:(
I know half of them won't turn up anyway, but I'll still be running about like an idiot getting ready etc...  ::)

I'll usually see 5 or 6 clients a day on a Saturday but today I'll have seen 2!

I have made a profit but I'm not chancing a hotel next weekend - no way.

Hi Girls,

Black Friday has really affected my weekend business with hardly any clients because their wives were likely dragging them round the shops!!

I still made a profit due to some strategic moves (Outcall) and long booking with reg but I won't be working from a hotel before Christmas now.

Had anyone else had a Black Friday weekend?   :-[ :-[ :-[
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: amy on 30 November 2014, 12:57:23 pm
I still have no idea what Black Friday is (or at least what it's got to do with us in the UK), but it didn't make much difference to me as most of my clients work on a Friday and pop in as usual. Nobody even mentioned it to me and it's not a big deal here as far as I can tell.

On the plus side, I got three reservations in at a couple of my regular ?150-200 a night hotels in for ?89 and ?99 quid a night, so I'm hotel-ready now until mid-April :D.

I've been away for a month not working so that makes a massive difference  I think  it's been a lot of new guys plus loads of regulars

I tend to get 3 photos sessions every year I had one in feb June and Nov
Work well because it's it always at sort is quiet times in the year which then makes it a lot busier because of the new photos

  I have around 120 new Photos that I had taken last sun /mon by 2 different photographers in Bristol but I only put up a few new ones each week ( same for the private gallery ) this keeps them fresh / interesting 

Also I had about 15 new videos done as well which I will add but only one every two weeks or so

But I also then edit these video do make smaller clips like 10-15 secs to username back page and twitter and vimeo and my other adverts

December is normally great.  In the run up to Xmas.

It does not seem too great this year for no apparent reason really.

I put new pictures on my private gallery yesterday and nobody has even looked at them!  There were 25 of them.

Perhaps they have to filter through ....

Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Lady_Lust_XXX on 04 December 2014, 10:14:58 am
 What I am going to say is to point something out that I feel is quite relevant.

"In the olden days of escorting" rofl, for me that was about nine years ago, our profiles were viewed approximately 900-1000 times a day. 

With the influx of girls joining AW the number of views our profiles gets now has diminished by about 66% so even if every guy that views our profile booked us, it would mean that we would still have 66% less bookings.

So IMO the best way of dealing with things is to try and make our profile stand out even more than it does. Not an easy feat as most girls try to revamp their profiles regularly for this reason.

Maybe someone has a better idea, I'd be interested to hear what others think.

I done myself a brand new website and created profiles on about 5 other directories when it was last proper dead for me, this was about 6ish months ago, spent a good couple weeks solidly working on my laptop on all this advertisement, I've never got a booking from any of the escort sites, and I get the rare enquiry from my website (it comes up on the first 2 Google pages).  :FF So hasn't worked for me. But I am in a small town surrounded by small towns, had I been in a city, think my website and other directories would bring more work.

January, February and March tend to be quiet, I struggled this year in those months. But I'm one of only two English girls in my age group in a 10 mile radius of my postcode and this works in my favour. Since I decided to bite the bulletof displaying my number back in September, I've had a steady flow, get the odd quiet day here and there, but had I not, I'd be applying for civvy jobs!  :o which is a scary notion! Haha xox

I can't work today or tomorrow despite a dribble of interest as I am under the weather.

Then next week it is the time of the month!

Oh dear lol.

You are right roxy it does help to display your number.

oh it definitely does.. I don't think I'd have any business if I didn't display my number! Remember they're lazy buggers lol  ;)
The last three bookings I've had through e-mail have all cancelled, so thank-god for displaying phone-numbers!
Aw you poor thing, I'm feeling it for you, time of the month, mine's just coming to an end, missed out on quite a few
bookings yesterday because of it, but shoved my sponge in today and taking any booking I can!!!

Aaand still dead, despite a gallery update on Saturday morning. So far this month the traffic's down to 33% of normal, and with everyone cutting their meet duration, the actual income is hovering around 20%~ of my quota. Sometimes book-keeping is not such a good thing, the numbers make me way more neurotic. >.>
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Lushblossom on 08 December 2014, 06:26:22 am
Yes my gallery new pics aren't showing much interest either.  Bookings are way lower than last year although last year this time of year I was turning them away I was getting so many....

Is it because of Black Friday this year?

Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: The_Lynx on 08 December 2014, 08:43:50 am
No Black Friday custom around here, so I doubt that's the reason for my lack of traffic. But, as it tends to happen after I complain profusely, I just got a 2 hour booking. Yay.

Yes, I find Sun-Tues the quietest part of the week, except for a lot of calls and enquiries on Mondays often. At least it helps to know when to organise other stuff!

Funny how these ones always book in and then start asking what you do etc only to say they got the number off a mate and said mate didn't tell them anything about you.
Not been especially slow the past couple of weeks but alot of timewasters to go with the normal enquiries.

I've had a few like that recently. I do know that some clients have genuinely gotten my number word of mouth, but a few recently have me baffled. For instance one guy has booked me several times, but still says he doesn't know my basic details. We've not actually made it to a booking yet because of his faffing and he refuses to let me give him any info. ???

I always find sunday and mondays to be the busiest at the moment, but its still quiet, think there is a lot of girls working around the Reading area too so more choice, i've been here for a few weeks now and i'm starting to think maybe I need to move around now, not sure what to do really?
Also getting a lot of TW at the moment, some people on the phone are so rude when they ask you a question and you tell them you don't do that service they just hang up on you!!! Had 2 customers today not show up also, grrrrr.

That and i've got the most horrible cold at the moment, so I probably don't sound too attractive on the phone! If it wasn't christmas coming up I wouldn't be working i'd probably still be in bed with a hot chocolate and the soaps on!

The weekend was really busy for me, and I was really grateful because it's made up for the crappy few weeks I've had.  But yesterday and today have been full of timewasters, cancellations and no shows.  Seriously, ONE after the AFTER.  It's really frustrating.  It starts to mess with your head. It's annoying when they are very sporadically occuring, but when it's one after the after (and I'm not exaggerating) it's a headf***

Am in the Reading area also and had a quiet day too,
I am not the most patient of people mind, so if I haven't had bookings for later on in the day, I do other things.
It's ok to write the day off every now and then.
I dont tend to worry about 'what if i get a call later,' I can't be at peoples beck and call all of the time!
It will pick up again, Reading is usually busy (been here on and off for a few years now) x

Hi louise, today was possibly the worst day so far i've ever worked, 3 people all book for an hour booking this afternoon, none of them showed, I texted one of them (I don't normally do if they don't show but he seemed real genuine and wanted to see me about PSE) when he was 30 minutes late and he just texted back "oh sorry, had to cancel" and i'm thinking well thanks for letting me know!!! I don't think i've ever gone a whole day with nothing when i've needed it, fingers crossed for this evening. I don't normally work weekends but I think i'm going to have to stay here a few more days just to make up the costs, but its good to know its not just me! I have another friend working here as well and she's found the same thing recently too. I learnt this is an unpredictable business but it just doesn't seem to be picking up right now :(

Phone hardly ringing today. Some jerk from AW has been texting since 8 am this morning, in spite of my "No SMS please" request. I've indulged him way too much (nothing better to do), and every time I agreed to a scenario he then came back and wanted to discuss a different one. Classic narcissist self absorption. Good AW reviews, or I would have pulled the plug sooner. Have now given him the sack, and am dusting book shelves instead. My local M&S, bank and bureau de change all dead. Post office empty in spite of impending Christmas. Damn cold outside, and people looking miserable. Have an old regular booked in this evening for an hour, other than that zilch.

The lift in my building was out of order for the afternoon and so I went to do some Christmas shopping and get my hair done. Naturally the phone rang off the hook all day!  ::)

However, I've got a 2-hour booking at 6 and it will be OK.

blerrr need to rant about how shit this week has been... Just really want to go back home, missing my boyfriend and I took the weekend off from my other job (which I really enjoy) to stay here, I don't normally do weekends but I really need the money, this is the first weekend i've been apart from my boyfriend since we got together...doesn't help that the phone isn't ringing either so can't even take my mind off it and be hopeful. Also got drama's with the other girl living here doesn't help, just need some time to go back home :(
Doesn't even feel like christmas anymore - this definitely isn't the most wonderful time of the year.
Right rant over, gonna pour myself a vodka now.

Very very quiet for me also. I've had a local hotel booked for three incall days this week, and I've had to cancel all three days just before the cancellation deadline as the phone has hardly rang. I definitely saved a few quid on hotel fees as no one really rang or emailed on the afternoons or evenings either. But - on the plus side - my house is now gleaming and all ready for Christmas!

I have an hour outcall scheduled for later, but I'm travelling a bit further than I normally would to do it as it's been so dead. This may be the calm before the storm...or that daft phrase I keep hearing, the weather bomb...and we might all be wishing for five minutes peace next week. Here's hoping!!!

Actually ok today, just when I've run out of steam with that weekend feeling. Will grit my teeth and do a couple more, so I can have a splurge on the Farmer's Market tomorrow, have my hair and nails done, and sort the last of my Christmas presents. Incredibly organised this year, and in spite of up and down business managing to give nice gifts to god son, friends and family. Tempted to order one of those drone thingies for the god son in Oz, but am sending money instead, hoping he'll spend it more sensibly.

I've decided to take a couple of appointments this weekend to make up for the dead days during the week. Don't think I ever had such a quiet run-up to Christmas.

As the recession gets worse and as guys lose their jobs all the time, business is bound to get worse as the years go on. 

Would be nice to think things will pick up and become as they once were but I doubt it. 

Would be nice if there was a nice upturn in business from next Spring.  Lets see what happens.

Beginning of the week was great, then it slowed down a lot by Thursday where my day was almost empty. I paid for the Available today and nothing. I put it up for today too,  but I find that if I use it at the weekends I tend to get riffraff phone me and end up with only one or zero bookings.

Last Saturday I used the Available today but out of 6 calls only one sounded decent and genuine.....

Looks like I'll be busy today, if everyone actually shows up. I missed the beginning of the week as I took Monday off and was a bit under the weather on Tuesday but the phone did ring then and slowed down to the slowest Friday I'd ever experienced. So working today to try and make up for it and - fingers crossed - it's going to be OK.

Yeah times have definitely changed in the business.

We have to move with the times and hope for the best.

You are right Nia saying it is all relative.  I preferred to count the number of hours I worked when I was prossying.  I was happy with 6-8 hours work 5 days a week.  Didnt always get that but tried our hardest to achieve it.  Paris B was always encouraging too in those days. 

I dont see any sense in saying "oh I had ten/twelve/fifteen bookings today" trying to make out you shagged the world when all of them were fifteen minute bookings.  Thats why I always preferred to work with the hours. 

I hope everyone gets a good run up to Christmas and is able to chillax over the festive without the "need" to try and get work in.

In my twenties I'd take as many bookings as I could, sometimes 6/10 per day, it ended in a breakdown, 3 to 4 hours a day 5 days a week is my limit now, it's tempting to accept more but I'm very strict with myself and decline x

Yeah when you are doing domme work I think it's best to do that.

I only ever took one longer domme booking a day.  I much preferred vanilla GFE bookings to domme, though it was good to be able to change

I didn't start whoring till I was well into my 50's so I knew my working time was going to be limited, though I did enjoy it and did well.

Now I just offer online services as and when I can be bothered.  Laziness rules sometimes.  ::)  :D

I started as a run of the mill hooker then 2 1/2 years ago went Domme only, vanilla services are easier to do back to back, to do more than 3 Domme sessions a day would literally drive me mad!

Yes, my phone is eerily quiet, as well. I start at 11 or so and usually get at least some texts on the way in to my work flat.

My phone rang a few times - did an hour booking and then turned a couple more down (I have to do something and so am knocking off early today.) So, while it was a little quieter it could have been OK I think.

Some times what is focused on more happens in our life. With business has been steady but am still saving well. The odd days slowish but the overall is very good. I keep busy with other things in between helps. When it is not expected it happens like magic. And during the quiet times I would reccomend to keep smiling not to worry or stress just have faith. This works for me.

Well it was a bit slow a couple of weeks back but this week has been mega busy .... mind you not from AW, never rely on AW you have to advertise in as many places as possible including papers.

With AW it can be a bit of a TW's paradise, obviously good to get going to pick up regular genuine guys and the odd new one pops up now and then, but people come from all over the net, depends what they google.

You have to work at it to get your name out there for sure.

In the new year can be slow also but this is the time usually do a little tour then dont notice a slow january. By the time back regs and newbies want more horny action. Time away does/can improve slow periods. But time away from clients seems to have them wanting that extra bit more. I wish saved from the start but better late then never. :)   Another tip what helps me is think abundance attract abundance. Think strugle we struggle. Positive thinking in all aspects of life attracts more like things. Like I say fellow escorts this is my approach and it works. 😊

I'm crap at saving so i'm not happy about this so i suppose it teaches me a lesson to save huh. Had loads of calls but ALL timewasters to the max today, so it's super weird to me. Featured, adverts, new pics, the works. Going to apply for normal jobs wish me luck XD

This is where keeping records of what you earn every week/month helps so you can compare this December to previous years, so you can either prepare for a dip in earnings or have a fair idea of what to expect is coming. It helps.

I notice also that stress impacts on business less of. But on very jolly days business flows. Also is good visualizing success. Just a few things that help me wanted to share. Had a booking yesterday then extended an extra hour. What I find helps is putting together a whoring action plan of promotion and how to get there filling in the little gaps. This way it is good remaining focus. On the quiet days just look at previous income.

All what I say is a few things do already so not just saying it and it works for me honest. All we need to do is focus more on the good things less of the not so good.

I forget quick if any bad incidents with clients the very few. Then think about the respectable ones makes me smile.

Also would recommend just smiling from time to time even if on own. It is associated with happy feelings, try it you will feel good it is uplifting. :)

I was supposed to be touring last week and the whole of this week but I've been pretty busy since the end of November so I decided to not bother and stay at home and it's still been pretty busy each day
With both regs and new clients
  I did go to Leeds last weekend as I had a overnight with a reg and it was part of my canceled tour and Leeds was pretty busy in the other days

Off to Birmingham tomorrow and have a few advance bookings with regs so fingers crossed it will be busy

I am desperately quiet at the moment to the point I am really worried about rent.

Not sure how old you are - but vivastreet ad may be worth a whirl.  They have a lot of girls in their twenties everywhere though.

I came off it as a couple of people found out as it is a public site.

Don't forget to write a blog here and there!

I too have found it quieter than last year when I was with vivastreet too it was nonstop.

Worrying doesn't improve things. When wanting business to happen like that doesn't always work out. Can you not delay paying the rent make an excuse up to your landlord. My advise is always be in the saving for a rainy day frame of mind going back to basics some what. Then your funds will build up quick by cutting back on the luxurys.

Try not to think about your friend getting work as this seems to be a headache for you.

When out this situation to always make a nest and to be carful not to put in a difficult position. I have paid my rent until February 2015.

I've never had to buy credits, and I've no idea how to (I'm sure I'll figure it out..), but I'll worry about it when it happens..

Was thinking a couple of days ago re views one profiles and decided to do a recky.

Everyone has been saying how up and down bookings are so I decided to have a look at private gallery purchases, profile views to see if things had declined any more.

Now in years gone by  we could rely on PG sales to pay for displaying our phone number without even thinking about it.  Profile views a few years ago was around 800-1000 per day and bookings were a plenty.

Now as most know I'm no longer whoring and just offer online services, so I expected my views to go down a fair bit so I decided to look at some young/er escorts profiles too.  I was shocked with the results.

For a number of days in a row I was lucky to get around 100 profile views which I thought was really really bad as it wasn't that long ago it was around the 200-300 mark.  So I looked at different escorts, some of them younger ones and some not so young and even with them escorting they were just getting around 100 too. 

I believe the decrease is due to the number of girls joining AW and guys having a larger choice now, so it sorta shows we have to keep our eye on the ball re services and keeping our profiles interesting so that guys want to use our services.

Do you keep an eye on the number of profile views you get? I don't know if I chose the wrong ones to view along with my own but it would be interesting to know if others have noticed the same. 

This isn't a competition post ie "oh I get around 500/600/200/800 views a day." It is just to see if girls have noticed the decline in profile views or not and if members have thought this could be one of the reasons business has declined.  These are figures for the past few weeks, the number may be different at different times of the year.

How have ou done?

I do keep a tab on profile views haven't reached a conclusion yet on how it correlates to actual business.
When each picture is viewed doesn't it add to the number of  profile viewers?

Defo agree with blogging and adding new pics to pg though to keep credits coming in these days.
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: ParisB on 19 December 2014, 01:15:10 pm
Like LL mentioned and a few others  you have to be pro - active all the time with stuff like blogging, a website ,other forms of advertising,  new pictures, videos,  twitter 

It won't happen overnight it might take a few weeks , it might take a few months for you to benefit from it but if you don't do anything then you never will and as more and more escorts enter the business it will naturally become quieter /slower

I've said this many times but I'm always amazed at how many escorts only rely on AW and nothing else and then are in running around like the proverbial headless chicken panicking when it's quiet

Yes it's a popular website and yes a large proportion of most escorts work is from there that not in question
   But if you don't have your own website and don't advertise in other places then when it's quite you notice it and when it's very very quite and even the wankers aren't calling then you really suffer

One example is that I'm generally based in Bristol in the Southwest so I do backpage for Bristol Devon and Wales which is areas that are around 1hrs or so from me these  three adds cost me probably around ?20 -?30 for 3 months featured so not a massive amount maybe ?3 a week  but I do get bookings from people in those areas who are travelling to Bristol might only be. Generally at least two or three bookings a week  but this week I got a 2 hr booking from a guy in Devon who came to see me and 2 from guys in Wales who were coming to Bristol to do christmas shopping So for an outlay of maybe ?3 a week it got me ?470 on 3 bookings


These clients might not have visited me if they hadn't seen my advert on BP
I do punterlink and punternet I probably don't get massive amounts of work from them but I would get even less if I didn't advertise on them

   Same as Viva st - personally I hate the fucking site and I think it's a rip off and especially as I can't despite having the dolphin browser as recommended by Viva St for iPads & iPhones in order to get it to work and make changes I can't make any changes unless I'm using  my laptop but for ?100 a month I get a pretty good return on it especially in some cities were it's very popular
Yes you do get a lot of cheapskates and idiots but there are some decent clients on there and it generally comes up on the first page for google for escorts

 Don't bother with the reposting just do the featured adverts that is on the right hand side
It's pretty cheap generally apart from London and you can add videos ( under 30 seconds as well)
Thing is if your not advertising then no one can find you and despite AW being a popular site it's not the only one that clients use

Paris, I didn't see a specific feature for posting on the right - hand side, but I did the one with a thumbnail thingy. And then I opted as well for reposting every other day. I'm giving it a 12-week trial.

I have a second phone that I never use so I'm going to use it for BP. I have yet another spare phone and could get a PAYG sim for that and use it for PTMY and Vivastreet. Should help me to keep track of which ones are working for me. So this weekend I will get a SIM for the third phone and after Christmas I'll put Pleasure To Meet You and take out an add on Viva Street.

The two spare phones will be left at my work flat so that they're not bugging me when I'm home. With AW at least you can indicate "Available Today" or not.

I was all set to be busy today - had an hour at 11, another hour at 12:30, and then a 2-hour at 2... but the two-hour booking cancelled. I have accepted a booking for 4 (a half hour) and will go home when that is done.)

Where I am - a busy city centre - a lot of guys will call wanting someone IMMEDIATELY. I've had to turn a couple of them away because I couldn't be available at the exact time they wanted at short notice.

In theory this is a good idea but in practice not so. 

You can always turn off or on to silent.

You may take unwell or half a dozen other things could go wrong and you may miss calls for future bookings.  If youve not got your phone then you may miss out.

Also, someone may call/text to cancel a booking and being able to take the call or text could save you running about like a heidless chicken.

Just a thought.

Yes its a lot of money but it only  takes a couple of bookings within that  month to make it up and all the rest is profit.

It is all up to the individual though to decide if they think it is worth it.

I mean you can easiley be paying ?200 a month for ads which if you've not made much seems hard to part with in slow times, is it THAT worth it, surley if it's a slow month like jan or feb, men don't want to book anyways?


Inc  viva st  AW featuring local search and available today and other stuff I probably spend around ?130 per week on advertising but it pays off overall
It sounds a lot but  it's 1 booking a week

When put as only one booking a week it really makes sense and a good pay off  :)

It's all relative f you only work 3 days a week or outcalls only then it's prob not
Worth it
If you work 5 days like I do plus the option to work weekends if I want to then it's defiantly worth it

Now that I have a private gallery, I don't have to pay money to do AT on Adultwork, so that's ?35 a week freed up for other sites. I only paid ?39 or so for 12 weeks on Bank Page. (I got clients from there a few months ago, especially American business men). I will try Viva Street again and also a local site/forum.

I agree that when it's dead on AW, it will be dead all over, but I do believe it can help.

Hello girls,
I have a question are you busy these days?
I started work again after a month break in September, everything was great, I was busy all the time and then suddenly I had one, two guys a day or even less. Till now I'm just in my work place like stupid and waiting for miracle. My friends have similar situation and I'm just wondering how about you, girls? I had never work at this time of a year so maybe it's just a wrong period and it will past?
Thank you for your help

I think it can depend  on where you are based / prices lots of other escorts in your area charging less offering more

I don't even have my phone number on AW today (not working) and my phone has been busy - I guess with people who have saved my number as well as regulars. I could have made a lot today, I think, but I wanted to spend time with my family. I hope I don't regret it when it's dead in a few days. :(

Mondays I'm finding at the moment are particularly good in Reading at the moment so I made a good effort to get up nice and early today, the phone has been ringing today but I would say a good half of them have been TWs, but i've done alright so far hopefully i'll hit my target today so I can go home for christmas tomorrow, being here on my own has been a bit lonely so i'm really glad for the company of clients.
Had one three hour booking this morning though that had to cancel right at the last minute as he realised he knew the people in the shop below me and he got scared incase they saw him, slightly gutted he sounded like a real nice guy :(

Today was stellar! Five good clients, nicely spaced out (as in, enough time to eat and relax but close enough together that I was ready to go home at 7.)

The "other" phone (BackPage and Pleasure To Meet You number) rang quite a lot but there were some real idiots on there. I did one client from back page which more than paid for my add so I'm happy with it. I will continue to monitor. I'm thinking I  may need to use a different name on the two sites because none of these guys can tell me which site they found me on. "Um... escorts dot com?"

I'll do a month of Vivastreet in the new year and use an entirely separate phone for that one as I really want to be able to track how the various sites are going.

Also fun: you can, like, totally charge different rates on different sites!

Phone has rang loads today, actually turned bookings down. Saw 3 clients which is usually my limit. Got 3 1 hour advance bookings for tomorrow so I might be greedy and squeeze one more in if I can, then I can relax a bit more over Christmas x
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Fabulassie on 22 December 2014, 09:33:20 pm
I find that my limit is five. I have exceeded that a handful of times, but I pretty much just shut down mentally after 5. If I could count on three hour bookings every day, I would stop there. But I go to five when I can for those days when I get one or two (or none!)

Post by: xSweetCheeksx on 22 December 2014, 09:39:20 pm

I know it's easy to say, but that won't help :). You'll be exhausted and it'll make it harder to work when you do get bookings as well as dealing with enquiries - I had a mini meltdown yesterday afternoon because I was knackered, fully booked and my phone wouldn't stop.

Nobody here can tell you how much you're going to earn - we don't even know how much we're going to earn! You'll either have the money or you won't and worrying won't change that; if you're on AW, stick the Available Today on and cross your fingers. I'm on my way home now but yesterday in London was completely bananas for me and I doubt it'll change over the next 24 hours or so :).

I was just thinking "If only there were a way to take ALL of the customers who were calling" and it just dawned on me to offer a discount in January to anyone I have to turn away today. "I'm sorry - it's just crazy busy because you guys all want to give yourselves a Christmas treat this week. But it will be much quieter in January and if you call me then I will be happy to see you at a reduced rate."

Have a look at your tenancy agreement and generally you should have two weeks after the due date to pay the money.  Just explain to your landlord and give him a date in the next two weeks when you are able to pay him.

Dead here. 1 regular cancelled, and I'm suspecting the other booking I have may be a plausible sounding time waster. He confirmed along the lines of: look forward to seeing you later, but hasn't asked for an address. No reply to my email asking how he was proposing to find me without directions.   ;D

Well I had a guy book an hour for 1pm. He booked via AW a few days ago and has good feedback but surprise surprise he had to cancel cause something with work came up. Luckily for me a really nice regular booked me for 45mins at 1pm last min and ge paid for 45mins but only stayed 15mins, chuffed! Then got an hour at 2.30 and an hour at 7pm. Cannot wait to finish at 8 then my Christmas starts ;D

Holiday mode has really set in. I have a 1 hour booking at 7pm and I really can not be bothered. I find hour long bookings really drag. Don't think it helped that I did an hour with a guy earlier and it was definitely up there with being one of the most awkward bookings. 1 of those who's convinced they're hard enough to put a condom on and have sex when they keep going soft and then try put the blame on you with the "oh i think you're too tight". I've done this job long enough now to know when it's me or them and it was definitely him. Went through 4 condoms trying  :FF

Oh yes, this always makes me laugh although it is very annoying when they won't just admit they're having trouble and give up attempting penetration. I've had a few guys who haven't even known how to put on a condom, they just unrolled it in their hands then tried to stretch it over their penis - one guy tried this with 3 condoms (I was just watching in amusement) and by that time he'd lost his erection ::)

Yep I had 6 bookings yesterday and ended up doing 3. I had one guy cancel he is due to be blocked as he has cancelled the last 3 times he has booked and one no show and one cancellation that I knew would cancel as he seemed more concerned about his flash car being safe even though I am in a nice area.Just mainly getting 'u avail?' type texts at the mo which never really bode well.

I've had a couple of sincere-sounding calls, but only took one booking. He was a bit full-on (in a good way, just physically tiring) and now I'm pretty much done. Just can't be arsed! I have answered to a couple of decent-sounding guys and said I was "all booked up for the day." I missed a call from a regular whilst I was busy, too. Don't really care.... I'm ready to shut up shop and go home and enjoy Christmas with the rug rats.

either, but took it anyway..  ::)

I fucked off early - did a one-hour booking and then just couldn't be bovvered.

I feel guilty. I mean, I made over ?1000 in three days but on each day I sort of got tired and cut out early. I KNOW I could have made at least ?360-?400 more if I hadn't done that. And when I think of my family I feel guilty because I was "lazy" and elected not to make that extra money.

But bloody hell this work can be draining. Punters have no idea how fucking hard it is.

With you on that one, had a migraine yesterday, saw two of my regulars and then cancelled my 3rd appointment.  I was not well and in bed by 6pm and can quite honestly say I am knackered and grateful.

Yes but just think about how many hours you would have had to work in a minimimum wage job to make that.

Also don't feel guilty, if you are tired your tired, better to lose a couple of bookings than have to take time off because you have burned yourself out

Post by: Lady_Lust_XXX on 25 December 2014, 10:22:49 am
There are a lot of perameters to consider in our job.

Our job appears well paid if clients show.  Taking your figures Fabulassie for three days, 1000GBP sounds fantastic but how many hours each day was put in for that.  Even counting it at 8 hours each day including time to get ready and travel (if you don't work from home and it could have been longer) then it was really just about 41 GBP  an hour, yes that is a good rate for a civvy job, but we don't work a civvy job, but not as good as many people think and that is not deducting expenses incurred for the hours you worked.

If clients don't show it is by far a lot lower hourly rate.

Guys don't realise just how draining the job is, especially at this time of year.  And how many girls heads were elsewhere while they were working, thinking, oh I could get "x" such and such and "y" such and such and wanting to be elsewhere too.

I don't think its good to work constantly, we all need down time and Fabulassie, you took yours and you deserve it too.

Yes whoring can be a better paying job at times but at what cost? 

I have always found when I am getting stressed about something or I'm anxious about something my language starts to get more "colourful" and for me that was an indication to start to slow down or stop.  Perhaps you do need a break Fabulassie, take time to enjoy the festive season with your family.

We can't foresee what we may have made if we "stayed longer" at our place of work, for those clients who called later or who intimated they would have called may have cancelled last minute or just been a no show, so unless we were there to find out we can never be sure. So best to just forget about that.

You made enough to keep yourself afloat I'm assuming and were happy with that.  Never feel guilty about it as it is your business and you work the hours you are fit and able to work.

Now it's family time, enjoy.

Merry Christmas everyone. Xx

Yes, it's true that our hourly pay isn't anything like our prices. For one thing, we are paid to be available. At least I am - I work in a city centre and most of my clients are somewhat short notice. Many of them literally call the very moment they want to go see someone. So I do all the shaving and douching and get suited and booted and do my hair and then I sit and am "available" for when the urge strikes them. It's true that I have freedom during that time - I can elect to go out to the shops and eat when I want - but to make the most money possible I have to sit and wait for the phone to ring.

That's a good point Fabulassie, we are kind of paid to be 'available'. Not that I have been doing much of that lately as I've only been seeing prebooked guys. But your comment had given me something to think about, especially to make the most money.
Thanks

Hi All,
Finding this topic very interesting.  I started escorting about 2 months ago and initially was bombarded with emails.  Over the last couple of weeks I am luck if I receive 1 or 2 enquiries a week.  I am today going to update my profile and add some new pictures (on AW) to bump me up the list.   I was wondering if it was generally quite slow or if the novelty of being being new has worn off

It's normal to have an initial flurry of interest that soon dies down, but what you're describing does sound unusual. I don't know where you are or what services you offer but unless you are very niche or in the Hebrides, I would say that there is something wrong with your marketing.

PM me if you want me to look at your AW profile. (I mean, if Nicole Dimples isn't your working name.)

Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Fabulassie on 28 December 2014, 07:15:31 pm
Hey! I think I found you. Your profile is nicely worded. Your services are standard. Other than you being outcall only (which can limit your feasibility) I would say the only drawback I see is your photos don't show much. It's OK not to show your face, of course, but how about a full-length photo of you with your face blurred out so that they have a better idea of what you look like?

I haven't checked your area but your rates certainly don't seem unreasonable for anywhere I've heard of.

I would think that your description of how a booking might go is quite appealing, but you may want to put a paragraph in at the beginning where you briefly sum up your services and availability. Something like, "Affectionate chocolate Girl Friend Experience doing outcalls in XYZ on weekday afternoons and evenings...."

Nicole, you have put the surrounding areas in the summary of your profile which is not wrong, but if you put the same places in the "Town" bit then your profile will show up if anyone does a search for those specific areas.

Well there are a few similar threads in the Adultwork section especially, but you can always post your own if you have specific questions, and whilst we don't advise taking any one persons advice as gospel (since we all work differently, and what suits one won't suit another) it never hurts to get other views in case we've missed something blindingly obvious :).

This one needs to get back on topic though, please.

Hi,
Today ha been the best day I've had since starting about 3 months ago (although I think I'm about to have my first no show  :FF). I only normally have 3 appointments a day (and they can be half hour or hour) - I've done 5 today so far. Half hour was due 15 mins ago and not heard anything and another hour booked with a reg at 6. Fingers crossed but great day today so far x

I was super busy today - only three clients but two were 90 minutes and one was 2 hours. I ended up cancelling the fourth (one hour) because I was so tired by 6pm. I was also turning people away earlier today.

I wish I had the discipline and energy to see the fourth guy but I'm wiped out!

It's always like that when you first start and guys see a new profile, "fresh meat" to them..!  ;)
You'll slow down a bit and once you're established Nicole, you'll get your regulars etc., and get into a routine.
Was still busy here today, I'm the same as you though Fabulassie, can only take so many bookings and then I've
just had enough and tell them to book for tomorrow if they want lol ;)

So how's the start of the New year going for everyone then??
I got lots of calls on New Years-day  ::) (are we NEVER allowed a day off?!), but the 2nd was dead!!
I wasn't feeling well though, so it worked out for the best, and today I've been pretty busy again!!
I thought when the phone was dead on the 2nd that was it, dead for the rest of the month..  Awk, suppose there's
no point guessing and worrying about it, just take it as it comes..  ;)

Very quiet here this full moon weekend. Busy couple of weeks prior, though. This morning one missed call from a regular, and one TW, who apparently is saving up to see me in February, but in the meantime wants to talk about the mother/son role play he's after. I'm afraid I just didn't feel like humoring him. Clearly starting the new year with a bad attitude, not wanting to allow free phone wanks     ;D

I don't wanna jinx but for me seems fairly busy. I just started to work yesterday so I did one outcall, I hope for another one today. And I'm getting booked for weeks ahead, especially for my tours in hotels (where I never had advanced bookings). Quite unusual, hopefully January won't be that bad after all ;)

Probably wanting to book 15min quickies in their lunch-breaks, but by that time one of my favourite regulars had booked
for half an hour, had another half hr booking later on and a few enquiries that lead to nothing, but that was it..  :(
We all knew it was coming, but I was hoping against hope it would stay busy lol

Well what a turn around, from about 5.30 got loads of calls. Some just from guys who are clearly not going to book but had a 30min booking then another 30mins with a reg and a 15min outcall to a hotel. I wouldn't normal take any outcalls for less than an hour but the guy was willing to pay 70 which I could really do with as well as having good feedback on AW and it was literally a quick stop on my way home. Was a nice guy too. Got a 1 hour with a reg tomorrow too.

Has anyone else had a ridiculous amount of people cancel?
It must be a January/February thing.
I'm on tour at the moment, and had lots of bookings lined up via AW; guys with numerous feedback etc etc. and both yesterday and today, all my prebookers cancelled, or no showed. I was lucky yesterday that I had 3 last minutes, however today I've been up nice and early this morning, hitting the gym, and trying and squeeze some extras in, and no luck.
I've fully booked for tomorrow, but I do get the sneaky suspicion that there will be cancellations.... I'm only working here for the next 3 days and then I'm off away.

Sorry for the rant haha, it had to go somewhere.  ;D
Luckily, I'll be back to my usual location next week, which is a lot more reliable, and I already have a few bookings with regular's lined up, so I can't complain.


Hope you girls all had a good new year, and keep your fingers crossed for busier times!

longleggy actually I'm suprised because over last three days I had only one guy cancel and all the rest showed up! Maybe ask them to double confirm couple of hours before booking?

I'm still busy, having requests for incalls and outcalls, but not that busy as on Monday (thank God!!). Hopefully it's gonna keep up

I've not seen a client since 23rd December. I had a couple of 3 hrs booked in the last couple of weeks who then cancelled much to my chagrin; a number of TW's but today - not even an enquiry  :o

I swear it's down to that cock PersianDave - he must be shit stirring on another site as usually I get queries at the very minimum. This is the first time in 12 months this has happened to me.

Thank God I have a regular tomorrow - if I've not healed up by then that is... ::) :-\ ;D

couldn't be bothered anymore..
Low and behold, I read someone got spunk in their eye on this forum a wee while ago, I admit I was giggling about it,
and of course I was being punished and the same happened to me yesterday  ;D
Serves me right for laughing, it's bloody sore!  ;)

I've got two bookings confirmed today (one already finished and one that seems quite solid based on coms). I've gotten a call for something else but I'm tired and will probably just stick to my two - the first one was a bit full-on/rough and I'm not feeling very energetic at the moment. Just want to get through my 2-hour booking in good form and will consider myself lucky.

I need some good sleep, I'm exhausted (I cannot sleep lately, maybe because of being in new beds constantly) and I'm pretty much booked up for tomorrow so I need all energy I can get.

I've not seen a client since 23rd December. I had a couple of 3 hrs booked in the last couple of weeks who then cancelled much to my chagrin; a number of TW's but today - not even an enquiry  :o

I swear it's down to that cock PersianDave - he must be shit stirring on another site as usually I get queries at the very minimum. This is the first time in 12 months this has happened to me.

Thank God I have a regular tomorrow - if I've not healed up by then that is... ::) :-\ ;D

Persiadave??? I hate that cock, had a few run ins with him and his fake bookings last year. He left me feedback saying i was fantastic and he wanted to marry  me but i never even set eyes on the guy. He ended up shouting at me that he was going to find free parking as he didnt want to pay for parking and i ended up screaming down the phone at this to fuck off. god he is bloody annoying, i blocked the wanker and left reverse feedback explaining that i had never met the bloke and that he is a nutter and one to avoid

Just had my 3 incall days, busiest time ever! Maybe I only do incalls few days every other week so clients want to see me more, and my I'm getting lot of outcall enquiries as well, hope it will keep it this way :D

Snap! mine started whilst in the first 30 minutes of a 3hr booking today, thank god the client did not freak out and was happy with us to continue minus the penetration.  Had no idea it was sneaking up on me, was actually worried I might be pregnant as been very tired and nauseas this week.

I was busy today - three bookings. One for an hour, one for ninety minutes, and one for a dinner date, so I made over ?500 and it was all easy. It was a pretty good week, really. Long may it last!

Good to hear everybody's still busy!!
My phone's absolutely dead today, luckily it doesn't matter as I'm on my period and can't work anyway, but I'd be
freaking out if I was sitting waiting for it to ring!!
Did have an hour booking for today and one for tomorrow I've had to cancel, just hope the phone'll get busier again soon!  :(

Ugh! After a few days slobbing it out I'm back and it's dead. Totally dead, not even many enquiries, one half hour for later is all so far.... And I creep tw  on aw. I was sooo busy last week I hoped it'd be the same this week. Balls! I'm always busy until I actually need the cash... Need to raise nearly a grand by Friday morning for six months up front rent, so glad I had a busy xmas and new year!
Hope it's just a glitch as you guys seem to be busy still!

It's completely dead for me at the moment as well. But because I've started to realise this happens to me every Jan, what I do is work my arse off over Xmas and then take a holiday now when all the work dies off. I had a grand total of one booking this week but I knew it was going to happen so will spend the next couple of weeks doing something else instead. And try to resist the urge to look at AW and emails!! xxx

Only one 90 min booking today so far, but keeps the wolf from the door. Just one more week, then off on holiday for a fortnight. Can't wait. Definitely the thing to do - I didn't get sorted in time for the last couple of years, so found myself stuck in London at the dead time of year. Learned my lesson now.

Grrrr.... finally got out my workout  pjs and glamed up and my half hour was a no show so hope my 9pm turns up!!!
Last week was great averaging 5-6 bookings a day. What happened today? Did everyone lose their mojo in sync. Flipping January, every year!
(This is why I usually go on holiday somewhere warm for January, but no this year I had to get my boobs done right before evicted and financially screwed.)
 Oh well roll on tomorrow when hopefully the sun will shine and someone will have spiked the local water supply with viagra!

Phone's been dead since though.
All I can think about is those bookings I did have and had to cancel and the lost money..  :(
Hope it picks up for all of us by the end of the month when people get paid again!!!

I do this, too. I figure even if I can't see them I can make a good impression so they'll try again. And I often say that I'm all booked up for the day rather than "I'm not working today" because I have the idea that this makes me sound more desirable. I may be wrong - could have the opposite effect!

My phone was quieter today. I turned one away because I was exhausted from yesterday, then took a half hour. I had a two-hour pre booked and that wore me out so I left my phone in the flat and went for a long walk. I only missed a couple of calls. I think if I'd been motivated (and not sore/exhausted) I could have probably squeezed out another one today but I could tell I was just not able to do it.

Post by: Fabulassie on 16 January 2015, 09:47:21 am
I don't have anything booked for today - all week I've had at least one booking in advance. I did get a text this morning from a sincere-sounding gent, but I was in an absolutely foul mood after a shitty time getting kids to school this morning and I am just unable to deal at the moment. I'm going to take a book to a cafe, have breakfast, and see how things go today. Not overly optimistic. But, I have had a good week and already reached my goal so it's OK.

It's hard when you feel like you have to take every possible booking because you know days like this will come. I just need to get a month's wages in my business bank account and then I can relax more easily. Once I get two months ahead I can consider taking a week's holiday next half term break.

Oh my god WHEN will I ever learn NOT to have a massive cup of coffee in the mid-morning?! I don't drink coffee daily so it has a very stimulating effect on me. Have spent the last hour with intestinal cramps.

Have now turned away two inquiries for half-hour bookings. Who knows if the phone will ring when my tummy is feeling better?

Coffee and tea used to stimulate my IBS, would double me in two, very very nasty. Hope you are feeling better soon.

When I was whoring I preferred working four full days and having three days off.  Wasnt my idea of fun having to do a few every day.

My daughter just found out yesterday that my grandchildren are off three days in February that she is working  :(  8th 9th and 10th.  Why do I get the feeling I'll have to keep one of those days free.

All week my phone's been ringing and I've had to turn away bookings cos I was so busy and today it's gone dead quiet.. I've picked up every call and replied to every text.. Nothing.

One guy I did a quickie BJ for cos I thought I didn't have time for 30 mins then after he left, the next client cancelled.. So I could've done 30 mins. This guy cancelled once before but with 1hour+ notice.. This time about 15-20 mins beforehand!
Then my 3pm cancelled but he sounded a bit of a TW anyway (asking will you spit on my ****, can u deepthroat 8 inches etc) so not too upset.

It's so quiet I've just accepted a booking from a serial TW although I'm not placing hopes on him turning up.
I haven't turned away a single booking today and I've resigned myself to having to work the weekend as I'm moving house and have unexpected costs.
It must be because there's 2/3 touring girls in town but it seems odd that I haven't even had inquiries, not even any silly texts! I've checked AW and my number and profile are still showing, there's nothing on any forums bad mouthing me and no negative reviews...

It's so odd.. ??? I've never had a day in the past 4 months doing incalls where I've had literally no work!

How annoying.

As I only work very limited hours and am off college all next week, I wanted to get as much work as possible.

chloe_ it is so annoying when next booking cancels and you could have earned.

I think many girls tour in January and February in the hope that their newness will bring in more money for them.  I've not known this to work, especially if you have rent to pay at home plus pay for a hotel/service apartment.  If guys don't have money they don't have money.  I don't know any areas in UK that is different at this time of year.

Aw that sucks! Have you tried sponges etc? I've never had a sponge fail me even on heavy periods and no clients have ever noticed (I think!)
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: foxylady on 16 January 2015, 02:24:41 pm
Hi, thanks...........I've been reading the "sponge" threads and to be honest no, I can't do that.  I'm too honest for my own good really, would feel deceitful, and obviously I would have to refuse a client reverse oral, which would be weird.

I gave the guy the option of limited services, but I wasn't going to reduce me hourly rate as the period isn't heavy and happy to have sex still, so he declined!  You know what I think it is?  Men love reverse oral, they just love it!

I am hoping it doesn't last too long...........does anyone else have the 3 month injection?

Funny thing is, my 12 year old daughter said to me the other night "god mum, you love your job don't you?!!"  Bless her, she accepts that I am not a "normal" mother, but we have a good laugh about it.  I said "who wouldn't love it, getting paid and laid at the same time", plus I no longer have to meet all the idiot game players looking for casual sex on dating sites........RESULT!!!!

Fabulassie ("PM'd" ye already today  ;)), don't feel bad about taking a day off, you've reached your goal for this week,
and I know it still seems as "lost money" when you turn bookings away, but in the long run you, your health and your
mental health is more important!!!
So take it easy today, treat yerself to something nice, and start again tomorrow!
We can be so tough on ourselves... !
And to Foxylady, I use a sponge, but only on my last few days, and if it's a regular (who I know is into oral, fingering etc.),
I'll tell him, coz I know he'll most likely feel it..
Anyone else, I just take the booking, and hope it goes alright lol, so far it has...
I totally know where you're coming from but, I find it hard not to tell them too!  ;)
As for being slow/busy (sorry, went right off subject there), had 3 half hr bookings today and a LOT of TW's!!
Same as yesterday, booking, changing their mind, booking again.. FFS make up your minds, I've got a schedule to keep to
as well!  :FF

Chloe,

Lone parent syndrome, I couldn't lie because we are that close, she would never have forgiven me if she had guessed/found out, so much as I didn't want to have the conversation, I had to.  Thankfully, despite her reaction "Oh mum, you're not going to become a prossie!!!"  (That made me laugh, where did she get that from?!!)  She's cool.  I think if she saw I was unhappy etc. it would be different, but clearly the combination of money and "job satisfaction" (ahem!!!) shows.

Siorse,

Thanks yeah, the 3 month injection does work in the same way but they can't guarantee how your body will react.  Stupidly I got a show of bleeding, then it stopped and I have had no more.  If I hadn't panicked and cancelled I could have gone ahead to be honest.  Hopefully I shall be okay for bookings over the next week.

Onwards and upwards!

Let's hope all you ladies have a good weekend ahead, working or not working. x

I wonder about how much I'd make if I worked more hours. But with uni and lack of motivation some days I barely ever take short notice bookings. Almost everyone I see is advance bookings, so I make enough to get me by (comfortably) but not as well off as I think I could be if I could find the energy to want to do short notice bookings/deal with the TW etc...

It's reassuring to see that a few of us are having a slow time at the moment. This is my first time since being a newbie in November 2013, so I expected Jan 2014 to be slow, but this year I've been really surprised and disappointed and worried. I'm miles behind on my rent despite having a civvy job and they are now threatening eviction  :( :(

Miss B - I think quite a few clients would like to have a session on a Sunday, but they assume most of us don't work. So I would advertise, advertise, and advertise again if you're going to be available any or some Sundays. I've never had many clients, but certainly some.

I'm getting exactly the same! I no longer work late evenings, might do the rare one if I'm keen for it. I have my working hours on my profile, and yet I'm getting idiots wanting bookings at 11pm etc, grrrr. I'm starting to think about working lates again. I stopped doing them because I got plenty in the day and decided I wanted to enjoy my evenings on my sofa being lazy, once I've had a couple hours quiet not doing anything, no matter what time of day, that's it, I can't be arsed to get back up lol, I've got comfy. Plus I seem to get tired a lot now, not sure if it's a diet thing, waiting on sugar level results, hope it's not a sign of diabetes  ???

Anyway, time will tell if I decide to work lates again, I'll only do it if I decide I want to and I'm keen for late night shagging  ;D

I find Sunday one of my busiest days!! Been non-stop today, thankgod, coz yesterday was dire..
I once made the mistake of taking Sunday off, missed lots of calls, and Monday was dead..
So now I do it the other way around, and take Monday off, if I need a day off..
Don't get me wrong, I've had some Sunday's that were a complete waste of time, but in general I do ok on Sundays!

That's so strange. Maybe it's something to do with location. With today being an exception I usually get no legit calls on a Sunday.

Must be location as weekends tend to be quiet for me, and the beginning of the week is the busiest lol xox

Seems like the past few days people contact me only after I'm done working for the day. For fuck's sake. ><

I'm getting exactly the same! I no longer work late evenings, might do the rare one if I'm keen for it. I have my working hours on my profile, and yet I'm getting idiots wanting bookings at 11pm etc, grrrr. I'm starting to think about working lates again. I stopped doing them because I got plenty in the day and decided I wanted to enjoy my evenings on my sofa being lazy, once I've had a couple hours quiet not doing anything, no matter what time of day, that's it, I can't be arsed to get back up lol, I've got comfy. Plus I seem to get tired a lot now, not sure if it's a diet thing, waiting on sugar level results, hope it's not a sign of diabetes  ???

Anyway, time will tell if I decide to work lates again, I'll only do it if I decide I want to and I'm keen for late night shagging  ;D

Rox xox

I wake up at 4 am everyday so working late is simply not an option for me unless it's an advanced booking that I specifically rearrange other stuff for. Incidentally it seems it's mostly the younger clients that contact me after 10 pm. Happened again last night. >.<

Lol there just doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to busy-ness in this job, must be location, and other factors
(god knows what ones though), as some people are dead on Sundays and busy on Mondays, where as I'm the other
way about..  ???
Well usually, but I've just changed my profile pics, what a difference!! Been pretty busy for a Monday lol  ;)
It must have to do with location, when your regulars work, etc, etc..
I dunno, i'm just guessing now  ;D

I'm super quiet at the moment as well. Luckily I was well prepared for a slow start to the year by all the warnings on this thread (thank you!) Alright moneywise for the moment but hoping things will pick up a bit in February, I started working last February so was pretty busy then but I expect it won't be the same this year. It would be nice to have a few more emails though! Got hit with council tax just after new year so will need to be back on track by feb.Hoping to do some new photos soon, maybe redo my profile a bit - although I like it as it is and can't really think of anything to add. I've been using my time to work on some other things in my personal life and just doing outcalls and trying not to worry.

I can't work out why sometimes it's busy and sometimes it's dead quiet either. I don't know why I thought I'd be more clever than everyone else but when I first started I thought I'd keep a very careful note of what times of day, days of the week, time of year etc etc I was busy. I'm quite organised like that. Did it do any good? Nope. There's just no rhyme or reason to it and you just have to go with the flow.

I agree! Looking back over my diary yields very little really useful information. For example, I have already made more this January than I did last year. And last February - commonly considered a terrible month - was one of my best of the year.

I would say Mondays and Fridays are generally pretty good but who knows? It really is impossible to judge. I say just pick the days you want off because that works for your life.

Men..  ::) just can't work them out, that's how we can't predict when they want to see us and when we'll be busy or quiet  ;)
Getting a lot of timewasters this morning, one was on the phone, right in the middle of booking, and hung up  ???
He either changed his mind (something I said?!), or he got interrupted by something/someone..  ;)

Every time waster ever seems to have called me today! Several guys looking for things I don't offer, one guy called 11 times to drawl "your soooo fit babe." Blocked him, and a couple of genuine sounding guys who never got back to me  with a exact time.   
 Switched my phone off, I've had enough of tws,  I'm taking a rare day off, stuck my pjs on and built myself a fun fort out of packing boxes and sheets, it's warm in here but no punters and no money when I need em,  just me, my duvet and my hot cocoa.

Not had any work for a week now. Just time wasters ringing up and now show , stupid guys offering me what they have because they know work is slow atm , people ringing after 12am trying to book even when i go out of my way to accept the booking, they still don't turn up :FF. regulars complaining about lack of funds and some regulars ( that i now classify as time wasters) messaging all week asking for pics but still no show . am so upset and sad  ??? . am seriously behind my bills for this month and am so worried if able to meet up with my rent that is due next week . ?70 feels like a ?1000 to me now because of lack of work atm. YES! i was warned to save because after xmas is normally very dry but i was thinking it won't be that bad. What i normally make in a day is what i now make in 2 weeks  :-[. Am thinking of going on a tour soon as i tend to make more money when i tour but then my monthly flow is just around the corner so i either have to wait till next month or start living on credit which i hate so much :( .

Saw a regular yesterday at 10am my first booking, he then ended up getting stuck on my drive way due to the ice after I asked him not to park there due to this.  It took me and 4 of my neighbours 40minutes to get him up my drive, I was not happy and it spoilt my day so took no more bookings.

This morning woke up to booking requests, one has just pissed me off because he can obviously not read with a morning glory.  Men!

Drove through a blizzard to get to my flat. I would have just taken the day off but I have to leave from here for London and I have things to do/prepare/pack so I figured I would come in. It's been snowing off and on so there's not much on the phone. I had a booking for tonight scheduled some time ago and he cancelled a few days ago when he saw the weather forecast. Got another for the same time slot shortly after that and he just cancelled this morning. I can't blame them.

The snow is coming down pretty heavy at the moment so
I'm dreading tomorrow. Not worked all week cause of my incall situation and not being able to offer a lot of days and I really need to start making some money as I got nothing last week. Got an advance booking for 7pm tomorrow for 1 hour, fingers crossed the weather doesn't put him off.

I'm just going to blame the snow for my day - I have someone booked this evening and I asked him to confirm at 6. If he doesn't - and I'm in that mindset where I hope he doesn't even though there's no reason to feel that way - I will just focus on preparing for my trip to London in the morning.

Ladies, remember it is the week before pay day for many and I always found this time of the month quieter, never mind January when they are waiting for their Christmas spending CC bills to come in.

When I was whoring I always took my holidays on the last week of the month.  It meant I lost less money.

When it is slow that is the time to increase the advertising/promoting to get it busy again. It was really strange but then realised an option expired on my advertising. So renewed and back to good times. Blogging also keep things fresh and exciting for clients. :)

This has been the quietest month for me in over a year. I've noticed that I am now one of the most expensive escorts in my area (?150 per hour), in a busy Central London area. A few months ago many escorts were advertising the same rates as me, I'm considering reducing my rates but it's almost a matter of pride not to! However there have been a few days this week where I haven't even had one client, which is rare for me. I've had calls, but most of them have been timewasters. I guess I am going to have to bite the bullet an reduce my rates a little bit, bit even if I reduce by ?10 I'll still be one of the most expensive escorts in my area.  It's really frustrating, but I suppose it's essential.

I'm really sick of guys booking, so it looks like I'm gonna have a really busy day, but then they cancel, change their mind,
or when I check (which I sometimes do for longer bookings) if they're still coming, they're "not sure, I'll let you know"  :FF
Yeah right, I'll just sit and wait and knock back other potential bookings  ::)
Either book and stick to it or don't bother!  >:(

This is why some girls double book! I know it's evil and horrible to do to punters but this is why girls do it.

Once a guy indicates in ANY way that he's not rock-solid, I consider him merely pencilled in and will take another booking. I will generally try to let him know before he'll be actually travelling to me. But I'm sick of being fucked about by these wankers and I'm starting to get a bit ruthless.

No wonder I have 800 phone numbers blocked on my 2 sims . Probably some of them are genuine but their behaviour/way of texting and talking made me consider them future no shows and I wont risk waiting for nothing or losing other genuine bookings for them.

Ugh! Phone just blew up.... I hate when I get a flurry of phone calls within 20 minutes all wanting about the same time, all adamant that they have zero flexibility. I say yes to everyone, have a careful think, feel them out, and then pick one - cancel the others.

I try to remember that we are here to be fanny-on-tap and they're not interested in scheduling around us. Yes, they will pay a lot of money for it but they will not wait for it!

Yep that pretty much described my day yesterday! Why do they bother booking when they have no intention of showing?  :FF been a week of 80% tws until today... booked myself 8 bookings thinking today would follow this week's standard and I'd only actually see a few of them, but they all turned up! And for the first time ever i got two tips in a day!!!! I hardly ever get tips! I'm bloody  shattered now with another on route, but so relieved to have people actually show!

Hang in there guys, after a slow few days it always picks up! I think a looming pay day and slightly better weather is helping!  Never rains punters it just occasionally pours the buggers!

I had a couple of no-shows yesterday but it was OK because I was exhausted still from Thursday. Felt more rested today which was good because I had an insanely busy day of 7 clients.

I am knackered but have had my best week ever in spite of the snow storm up North pretty much killing Tues and Weds for me.

Yes get what you mean I don't take bookings seriously until they get here. The ones I think will not show are asked to text an hour before to confirm.  It isn't nice loosing bookings for a no show. But those who have seen me before can be a no show. So it depends. One last night booked for today then less than 2 hours later cancelled. Today has been good.

I have found that its either ridiculously busy or absolutely quiet and yo yoing between the two on any given day this last week.

Yes! That was my experience this week.

Hopefully things will level out after payday - well, until they spend their entire wage on credit card bills!  ;D

I've been off with a cold for almost a week which has driven me mad!! Needs must though, it has not been pretty. I couldn't bear to think of spreading my germs and then there's the issue of having looked like a corpse all week...

Oh god don't get me started with the colds. I've barely been able to work the past month cause of it. Been ill 3 times now in the past month  :FF Actually getting me down now cause I was spose to be working today and yesterday and it seemed like such a promising weekend. I didn't feel well yesterday but thought I'd power through. Never again! If i'm ill i'm ill, this isn't the kind of job where you can just get through it plus it's not fair on the clients. So did a booking yesterday and by the end of it felt absolutely dreadful. Had to go home and now have a full on cold. Beyond pissed off cause I had a guy who I saw on Thursday want to see me again and a lot of other genuine enquiries and I really need the money but no way could I carry on. Thank god for savings!

Sorry to hear that sweetcheeks! Yes it's really annoying, particularly as sods law states that everyone will contact you when you can't see them!!

Hope you're better soon. Mine is at the tail end now but still not pleasant - and even if I feel I'm no longer contagious, it doesn't remove the fact that I'm still shuffling around in my dressing gown with a horrible crusty nose!! (sorry)  :)

Yes I do understand about colds.

I have taken so many days off this month over feeling iffy and then the symptoms finally descended into a nasty 'flu.

Hoping to work from Wed again.

Think we lose lots of revenue this way oh well!

I won't be in a hurry to offer French kissing, which I do 'at discretion', for a week or two either.

I'm with cold as well and took today off. Was supposed to have outcall with regular but he canceled due to having cold himself, I was so happy to stay at home!
I wonder about double booking as well because so often I'm tempted to do so! What do you do if they both show up? ???
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Lady_Lust_XXX on 25 January 2015, 06:23:07 pm
I think many things have to be taken into consideration if you are even contemplating double booking.

Biggest one for me is ~ do you have more than one parking area if both are there at same time, I wouldnt want either of my clients seeing each other, so two parking areas is really required.

I would never do it for bookings of longer than 30 mins, many guys are willing to wait for a short time if you tell them you are running late  ::) and will be with them as soon as possible and thank them for their patience.  I would also offer a small discount for their patience, after all if you are getting the two bookings in then you can afford a little 10GBP discount.

Sometimes you have to think on your feet so if you are no good at that then double booking is no use for you.

So long as you sound upbeat and bouncy guys are usually accommodating.  Its also handy if you have a garage or something similar where they can get a coffee and the discount will cover the cost of the hot drink.

Well - I guess I can expect my phone to go crazy tomorrow then, because after being very lucky all winter I now have big swollen glands in my jaw/neck (I googled and I think the infection is in my saliva glands and so I had better go to the doctor.) I also have a pinkish swollen eye.  ::)

Post by: Cat. on 25 January 2015, 07:39:14 pm
Sometimes I do double book, but I will give 15 mins gap, if the earlier one turns up I just txt the other one to apologize and make excuse saying eg. so sorry my client here just wouldn't leave would you like to reschedule? Or sorry still in town don't think will get back in time happy to reschedule.. I know it's cheeky lol but better take the chance than nothing.
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?

I don't double book ever. I personally think it is unprofessional. They are paying a lot of money, the least we can do is be punctual. Yes there are slow periods and a lot of time wasters but it comes with the territory.

I will take two bookings if one sounds dubious - especially if someone has ever cancelled on me before. I will set it up in such a way that they have to text to confirm about an hour before the start of the booking. If I get a confirmation, I will make apologies to the one I wasn't sure about/who has cancelled on me before. So far, I have never done this to anyone who has already set off to see me.

Seriously can't believe that some senior members are giving advise on double booking you do realise guys from other forums read this? having a garage 2 parking spaces telling them your in town and won't be back in time do you want to reschule what if they have travelled 30 or 50 miles to see you agree with Mdsstudent comment that's soo unprofessional we all have quiet days we all have time wasters no shows guys book then cancel it's part and parcel of the job what would you do if they both turned up sitting in the 2 parking spaces or one is definitely comming what you text the other to say you can't make it now? what if he is travelling a distance and already set off don't know about anyone else but I'd feel embarrassed and ashamed.

Displaying your number does help a bit Londonfox if you are prepared to take short notice bookings. Works for me on days l don't get advance bookings.

It's not just you, I think it's the weather and time of year where everyone is horny then changes their minds and cancels. I'm having busy days and slow days atm. My over night just cancelled on me because apparently its not okay to ask for his land line and I am not a happy bunny at all, two half hours is all I've had everyone else canceled today.

When your new people will take the mickey a bit and make bookings/try to get you to talk to them. Don't worry about em but without my phone number I wouldn't get a 20th of my weekly bookings the previous week I had 22/23 bookings via calls and text off aw, (they do tend to be fairly short notice via phone tho) and one phone booking from someone's father who's son had seen me. (Why oh why would you talk to your dad about escorts?! Just ewwww! I even have a little chart on the inside of my cupboard showing where I get bookings from.)
It takes time to get regulars who will keep you going in slow periods don't get disheartened! It's payday for the guys soon and some milder weather on the way so it should pick up for you!

Bloody murder  :FF TIMEWASTERS, TIMEWASTERS, TIMEWASTERS!!!!!
My day was looking ok this morning, had a half hr booking, an hr, and a 90min booking, and a request for tonight.
Then it started snowing, my hour one cancelled, my half hr turned into 15mins, and the 90min one's cancelled as well.
Of course it's stopped snowing, but my phone's not rang for hours.
I'm pissed off, with people thinking we don't have schedules to keep to like everybody else, that we can just do what
we want when we want (I cancelled an appt. this morning coz I was supposed to have an hour booking at 1pm an I need
the money, who then cancelled, but only after I got in touch with HIM to ask if he was still coming).
NOT HAPPY.  >:(
Sorry, rant over..

Been super excited for this weekend, finally payday after the awful drag of january and boom i have the awful fluey/cold bug going round. Started with it monday, today was the worst but feeling a little more spritely this evening. Really hoping it clears off tomorrow! Sods law isnt it!

I think work will definitely pick up after this weekend, January is a bugger for everybody money wise.

Hi I'm new to the forum but been an escort for 8 years since I was 18, independent for the past 3 years.

'Dead January' doesn't seem to be cursing me like it does others for some reason. I worked over Christmas and New Year and made a small fortune then the first 2 weeks of January were amazingly busy so I went on holiday for a week as a treat after all that hard work and have come back to just usual ticking along for me. I am in Essex so not sure if that has had an effect or not but long may it continue. I know a crash is not too far from this high :(

Being independent, outcalls only and work pretty much every day/night seems to be the magical formula for me which is good because I detest incalls, agencies and taking time off.

In my area, this time of year is always quieter, so makes it the best time of the year to take time off and relax a bit, I have learnt not to worry about it, I know it's nothing I am doing, it's just the time of year when people are paying Christmas debts off.   I can predict now which weeks in Jan and Feb die a death first 2 are very busy then the second 2 quieten down, then come payday at the end of Feb it all goes back to normal for the rest of the year.

I've been ill including colds and sickness 3 times in the past month so I know how you're all feeling. Literally lost so much money, my savings have really taken a bashing but thank god for them. By my 3rd cold I was beyond frustrated cause I needed to be earning so thought 'screw it!' and dosed up on sudafed telling myself I'd power through and can do it. WRONG!!! Never again, in future when I'm ill I've just got to accept it as this isn't like a normal job like sitting at a desk and powering through. I paid ?50 for my accommodation and as soon as I got there I was feeling worse and worse and regretting it but being that skint I wouldn't allow myself to be ?50 dowm, I just couldn't afford it so as soon as I got a booking I accepted. It was for an hour, he was lovely thankfully which made it that little easier on myself but as soon as he went that was it. Showered, packed up and left. All for a ?50 profit. Never again when I'm unwell.

I get the flu vaccine anyway, but have also managed to see off two colds in the past few months (tempting fate to tell you that, I know...) My trick: as soon as you suspect you're coming down with something, dose yourself with Echinacea, zinc and propolis.

Re. work. I paid for 'Available today' yesterday and got zilch. Not doing that again! A few calls in the past week, but confirmed bookings elusive.

Sorry if I am off thread with talk of 'flu!

I ordinarily don't get nearly so ill as I take spirulina in light almond milk daily which takes yucky but usually really helps.  I have just been unlucky this time.  Having said that I have skipped quite a few days of taking the spirulina Dec/Jan so maybe that will teach

I really do hope I am up to working next Tues to Thurs or I will scream lol.

The odd thing is despite not being available for work there have been a few enquiries.  Typical eh!

I'm another who gets the flu jag but I think it only covers one kind of flu and it's got a bit of swine flu protection in it too.

I think if you fall under certain criteria of illnesses you get it for free but if you don't you have to pay.

It has no defence against any colds though which I am more prone to. I don't actually remember ever having the flu in my life.

Even if I wanted to work just now I couldn't and because i take meds for high blood pressure I can't take cold relief meds. :FF

Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Midsstudent on 03 February 2015, 03:27:41 pm
My arm kills for the first 2 days after the flu jab but I've spoken to others who don't get nearly that much pain (to the point when I wake up if I turn over on to it during the night).

Other than that you shouldn't see any reactions unless you are allergic to any of the ingredients. It never hurts to have it, you'll still get colds but you won't get the flu's that the government decide are most prevalent that season. I wouldn't bother now though as flu season is as good as over.

My main phone (linked to AW) is very quiet today - luckily I had two bookings lined up in advance. My secondary phone (Vivastreet PTMU, etc) has been ringing steadily but primarily with weirdos.

I've been doing ok the last few days, not too dead, and not too busy, coz I'm not in the mood for too busy lol.
Quite happy, got a few bookings or the next few days, but I'm not counting my chickens, coz as soon as I say things
like this it all goes downhill and everybody cancels, things descend into chaos with people not knowing when to book
or changing their mind at the last minute etc..  ::)
So fingers crossed it just stays steady...

Still completely dead here, my last job was on 21st of January (I normally do 3-4 outcalls a week, for comparison). Even my regulars are nowhere to be seen. Think I need a hug. o_O

I was dead yesterday, and I thought I'd have myself a snow day and go do a little retail therapy.  You all know what's coming next... YES they all started calling the minute I get down the road.  Really fooks me off! 

I've only done a few half hours this week, had phonecalls but from people I didn't want to see.  I'm hoping it'll pick up by the end of the week.  Bet they all come on Friday!

I've not been busy either...usually before I start work I have minimum one client lined up... here I am waiting and not even a call. I though last week was dead because it was the week before payday but they have now been payed and nothing is happening!

I guess Jan/ Feb would be dry months....

I go back to work yesterday despite not being at my best and an old (big spender) reg cancels on me I was soooo pissed, wrote the day off as phone went dead for HOURS. Then right at the end of my shift... boom 9 hour job extended from 3 hours with a brand new customer! Hallelujah the big whales still exist out there it's just a case of wading through the cheapass' and timewasters to get to them :D

I've had two clients and my booking this evening has confirmed so it should be a good day. The phone has rung with a few viable-sounding inquiries but I have turned them away because I was stupid and drank too much last night so I'm not at my best today. I would have liked to have been in the frame of mind where I just take every booking I can and make all the money I can but I'm not able to do that today. Since Monday and yesterday were a bit quiet I am annoyed that I'm not able to make hay whilst the sun is shining.

Hopefully tomorrow will be better!

I'm finally starting to get some genuine emails and have two bookings confirmed over the next week and hopefully two more as well :) Makes a change from January where I had 4 bookings.. for the entire month. I added a bunch of new photos last weekend so maybe that's done the trick.

A whole 24 hours has passed me by without a single genuine booking request via phone or email. This is the first time that's happened to me (apart from when Ive had days off obviously) in the 2 years I've been working as an independent escort. Shockingly dead, very worrying!

I'm getting a lot of people booking (decent hour+ bookings), and then cancelling, not showing,

January was amazing for me, this week I've made 700 less than I normally do :( a guy turned up today but left because I wasn't his type and I've done a half hour booking. Phone hasn't rang since 12, ready to give up for the day but know I shouldn't

Woohoo, got an appointment at 9 am tomorrow with a client I've seen a few times before. Finally! Allowed my advertisement to run out for the time being, though. Unnecessary expense given how dead it is otherwise, I'll renew once a few more regs show their faces again.

Same here. So far a one hour booking, and one enquiry, which came to nothing. Guy phones from his car, saying "I didn't look at your profile at any great detail - how much is it?" I don't expect guys to read the fine print, but location and fees isn't asking too much. Other than that, even the wankers are too cold to ring and waste my time.

I had only few calls askking for a booking tomorrow! I really hate it when people do this, why dont you just phone up the same day jesus! Then tmr will come and all those who phoned today will not turn up as usual. February is quiet everybody knows it plus i dont do incalls after 4.30 coz of personal reasons and im also scared of the mugs who turn up at later times. Outcalls is quiet too only 1 booking for whole week...
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Fabulassie on 06 February 2015, 06:32:25 pm
Yeah, my January was spectacular and this week has been awful.

Today I had three bookings confirmed by 10am. The first called to say his mother had died. The second showed (and was lovely). The third no-showed.

I got a LOT of calls from guys either wanting quickies (which I don't do) or wanting to come and see me RIGHTNOW and I wasn't available at the time. There were some asking about this evening and I missed a lot of calls during my one booking but I'm not working tonight.

I've only had 4 bookings the whole week, it's been dead and that's after reducing my rates by ?10. Everyone in my area seems to be charging less than me and reducing their rates. I really don't want to reduce them more!

Some guys if the price is lowered they complain about the special offer expiring. All we can do really is remain positive relooking advertising attracting clients or stress not able to think clearly. Also touring can help during slow periods. Adding ingrediants gets a good return this is my example.  And the most important is feeling good attracts. :)
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?

I think lowering prices can sort of work, sometimes. But I don't think it will make men punt who otherwise wouldn't.

A good boost is to go to the gym then when back it flows the bookings come flooding. I just had a good run considering the week end. My way of thinking is that energy attracts. :)

I'm getting calls, but I don't like the sound of any of them. One was from a guy I saw last week and didn't like. I should have saved his number so as to avoid answering. Had to tell him I didn't want to see him again (which I am sure shocked him as he's a very genteel middle-class guy.) Another was someone wanting to meet just as I'm about to go out and eat lunch. I missed three calls from some joker I'd rather not see for reasons I can no longer remember. Then just had a guy who I've been trying to avoid because he's got a really detailed list of how I am to dress and I must "swallow every drop."

Can't be arsed with these fuckers!

Today was a first for me, I've never once worked because I desperately needed the money... I wasn't feeling up to working today but I did the booking because of my snake being so sick. It makes me feel lucky that doing this job is a choice for me (apart from today!).

Oh but today was dire. The phone rang with a handful of twats. I had to just turn my Vivastreet phone off. A handful on my primary phone, mostly asking me stupid shit about things I don't do. A couple of requests for quickies via text. Then had a flurry of calls about 5:30-6:30, all wanting to book around the same time but I have a booking at 8 and I couldn't quite accommodate any of them.

And my 8pm booking - someone I have seen before - was initially supposed to be at 6 but when he confirmed this morning said he wanted to come at 8 so I've pretty much been waiting on this all day and frankly I'm not in the mood. I have a two-hour booking for tomorrow, otherwise I think I'd just take the day off.

Thank God I saved what I could in January.

Half term here next week too, although I've got a handful of punters asking about various days so fingers crossed it's not too bad. Last year was pretty dire, so if it looks like going the same way then the decorating gear's coming out :D.

It has slowed down in recent weeks because I seem to be making my target in one or two days and the rest of the week (even weekends) are leaving a lot to be desired. 'Clients' are not necessarily of the calibre I like to frequent and my god every idiot known to man is calling/texting lately. My regs have expressed their apologies of being hit with Christmas bills and stuff, assuring me they will more than make up for it next month... hopefully the same will be said for everyone else on here. Roll on March!

I decided to do 2 hotel incall days, had one 30 minute booking yesterday and nothing today.

The only good thing is that I paid for the room off money I had made from my private gallery, so I am technically not out of pocket.

Hopefully will get at least one more before I check out.

Yesterday was ok, my phone was busier than it has been in a while, but I had to go out and get some things
done, typical..
Still had a decent day with a good few bookings, but today's been dead so far...!!!
Phone hasn't rung once..  :(
Think I'll test and see if it's working!

My phone is quiet today but after last night's horrible sneaky barebacker I am sort of relieved. I probably shouldn't even have come in to work today as I'm not sure I will want to see anybody at all. I guess I just didn't want to sit around the house.

I did get one call, but he sounded young and dumb and asked if I did quickies.

It's been rubbish aside from today for me in North Notts. Only had 2 half hour bookings Mon - Thurs.

Was getting really worried until today and as it usually does it's gone from dead to the phone not stopping! Much better!

As some other posters said it was an amazing January here much to my surprise but Feb has been diabolical.

Hope everyone has a good end to the week.  :)

For those who are working today (Valentine's day) how's it going? It's been quite but steady for me. I had an hour booking at 1pm, I have an hour outcall with a regular at 8pm and another potential hour with a regular who said he'd let me know. Would be happy with the 3 any way as that's my limit but otherwise the phone has been pretty quite. Oh and got an advance booking for an hour tomorrow.

I've got one booked in for later tonight, haven't put my phone number up as didn't feel like dealing with timewasters today and the last 2 times I've put my number up I've only gotten bookings that never showed up. AW clients are more reliable at present for me.

Had another try to book for today but kept messing me around about actually confirming the booking, said he wanted a specific time 3 times this week and never secured it with a booking request as I asked, despite my saying I couldn't hold the time without one, so I ended up telling him the time had gone when he asked again an hour ago. Seems like someone who will no show.

I took the booking for tonight like a week ago, he didn't mention it being valentines day so it didn't occur to me until yesterday that I had a valentines booking lol  :P

So weird here I'm on tour this week and either run off my feet with bookings or dead, dead this afternoon except for enquires leading nowhere so having my hair done... least had a three hour and a hour this morning to boost my earnings for the day, slightly annoyed as I usually hit least six a day here, hoping it's just the time of year!

Most up and down tour I've ever done... punters seem to be like busses here, none for hours then 3 come along at once.

Manchester - done okay covered costs in first couple days. Stupidly messed myself up for today so switching my phone off and off to find a doctor and then hit the shops today instead of Tuesday. Someone (a local girl?) Is messing with me anyway and I've had enough, 9 no shows in two days all via phone.... A billion weird messages and calls, people asking for 15 mins and stuff I don't offer.

Not a terrible day. I had one booked well in advance and then one guy called for an hour's booking. So, I had three total hours. One regular called in the afternoon but I was busy and couldn't see him. I think I missed a phone call, as well. I went out for dinner with friends and missed a few other calls. I've noticed that slow days always have a rush of calls after 5pm (when I've given up/gone home).

January was steady but this month what an improvement. I have found that when busy in my life the business energy flows a lot compared to doing little. This is why it happens when we are busy in my opinion. I had a personal training session with fitness at 8am fully vibrated ready for the booking due soon. 

I find with PI it is motivating especially when members there talk to me about they noticed a change with my weight loss.

Peace.

I did an overnight this weekend but other than that it's been DEAD! I'm just starting out and charge a relatively high (but not too high) rate due to professional photos (which have worked like a charm, in the beginning) and it's just been terribly quiet the past few days.

I do have two bookings this week but I am certainly not getting as much as I'd like. Veeeeery frustrating.

Mango - Pro photos shouldn't dictate your price, the level of service you offer should. Some clients feel that pro photos are not an accurate representation of the girl, so it never hurts to have some normal photos in your gallery too  ;D

Of course; I'm not saying my photos are the only thing that justifies my rates. I do want to have a more "normal" photoshoot sometime, though. I think it's very anonymous/boring when the only pictures an escort has are lingerie ones.

After a really busy week last week, this week has been dead for me, to the point that I've just checked my ads to see if they are still online.  I notice there is a new lady (slightly similar but Spanish) advertising both incalls and outcalls in the area (I am outcall only) but she is ?20 cheaper than me for outcalls.

I am wondering whether to lower my price to compete..........but looking at Vivastreet this week, Dundee is flooded with ads, there aren't normally that many.

Hmmm...........what to do?

Any advice welcome.

Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Fabulassie on 22 February 2015, 04:24:37 pm
For all you know, those other girls also had a dead week.

If you think you're being affected by competition, it's natural to wonder if prices are the issue. But there are many other factors to take into consideration. It's primarily how you market yourself. What can you do to make yourself stand out from the crowd?

Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: foxylady on 22 February 2015, 04:35:52 pm
Thanks Fabulassie.

USP: I'm classy and English and older.

There are a lot of foreign, younger girls here, model-like.  I don't think there's any direct competition between us.  Although I assumed the new older MILF would be.

Yes, you are right of course, I shouldn't let that send me into a wobble.  I turned down 2 bookings on Monday evening, had a 2 hour tuesday and to be honest, have had a light period so I shouldn't be too bothered.

I need to get some money in this week though, but I guess something always turns up.  I spent this weeks earnings paying a deposit on a summer holiday rental and flights!  ;D

I had a booking from AW and when checking his fb I noticed he booked escorts around 30 age, slim with fake boobs, that sort so I was a bit concerned but thought maybe he wants a change! I'm size 14, v beg natural boobs, early 40s. But one thing I noticed was that all our pics were very clear and I have loads. Mine are accurate not pro but sexy and in lots of different outfits so for some that might be very important rather than just 3 or 4 pics although having only 3 or 4 pics on some others profiles won't matter to someone.

For 1st time this year I checked some profiles to see rates and someone very similar looking to me has joined who is in my postal area, same hair same 1st name,  and she's charging 30 hour less. I don't need 10 or 12 bookings every week but I guess if someone wanted to choose between us they would pick her based on price but I'm happy lowering my prices by 10 but not more.

I'd say if you really need more bookings then lower prices a bit but not necessarily as low as that person if you're not happy with it but even 10 might help.

No, no, no don't EVER lower price no matter how quiet you think you are, it only makes punters think that the service we offer isn't worth ?100+ per hour. I never lower or negotiate on price or my minimum booking length of an hour. It's not your price it's just a quiet time and it will end just like all quiet times do. Don't let these men think they dictate price because they don't, we set the rates we're willing to offer ourselves for and they choose to pay it. If they are complaining then they can't afford you and if no one is complaining then the rate isn't high enough ;)

On topic this last week has been especially dire but the weekend was amazing, hopefully this next week will follow suit.

I'm busy in London. This morning my phone was busy but I had such a poor connection in my room (almost no signal) that I had to ask to be moved to the outside of the building on a high floor. Strong signal up here but my phone was early silent all morning. I finally thought, "what if it's actually problem with my phone?" Rebooted and texts flooded in - god only knows how many calls I missed during that time! Due to having to move rooms and my phone not working, I wasn't able to see anyone until 12:30. Hopefully, I'll be able to start early tomorrow morning and my phone will continue to ring as it has done.

Like anywhere else, it's a 'how long is a piece of string' question. Some people find London busy and others don't, and some (like me) find some parts busy and others not.

Nowhere is always busy for everybody just as nowhere is always quiet for everybody - there are plenty of threads about this already but whilst there is certainly be a lot of prossies in a highly populated place like London, there's also a lot of punters. The only way to find out is try a few visits :).

Dropped my rate last night, but put it back to normal after Dundee local paper expose, in which my aw profile is mentioned!!!!

Hoping for a flood of calls now.  ;D  Actually had a 1 hr booking this morning (which I don't do) so he paid extra.

I was going to have another booking with someone, who I have managed to have a row with for the second time in 2 weeks.  He has autism and we are both quite fiery, (series of misunderstandings really) but it has been exhausting, we could have had the bloody booking but spent 2 hours texting/phoning....(him), and occasional replies (me).  I don't really know where to go from here, he says he has been trying to book me since I first started before Christmas, (which another guy said the same thing to me last week, as I hadn't put my mobile no. up to begin with).

Ah, I suppose that's very true. Some escorts seem to be aiming for a lot of clients per week as well (which I find very admirable - I wish I had that kind of stamina!) which contributes to the difference in opinions.

Sorry for derailing, but holy shit! I do like three (at most five) a week as I go to school full-time. So jealous of that you can do that many - I really wish I could have more clients, although I think my pussy couldn't handle it as it can be very sensitive about catching candida.

It is for me. After each booking my phone will have six texts and ten missed calls. I try to reply to a text and the phone rings. While I'm on the phone more texts come through. There were a couple of times today I struggled to keep up. I wish I could clone myself.

Ditto, but it depends where I am. In my usual stomping grounds it's great but I remember trying a different part of town a couple of years back for a change and couldn't get arrested :D.

The weird part was when I sacked it after a day and a half and went back to where I was, and the phone literally went from dead to manic the moment I shifted my ad. All I did was move about half a mile along the river.

Well even if I turned away 50% (and think it's probably slightly less than that, although I would hardly say I'm not fussy when I block people just for using words like 'hun' ;D), 50% of loads is still a lot. If you're getting 50+ enquiries a day, you could turn away 80% of them and still have a bloody good wedge at the end of it :).

Well even if I turned away 50% (and think it's probably slightly less than that, although I would hardly say I'm not fussy when I block people just for using words like 'hun' ;D), 50% of loads is still a lot. If you're getting 50+ enquiries a day, you could turn away 80% of them and still have a bloody good wedge at the end of it :).

Every guy I've seen so far has been really wonderful. (I've probably cursed myself by saying that!) I've certainly gotten calls from jokers but the ones I've met have been handsome and fun and all-around lovely. God, I love when I'm on one of those winning streaks. I sure do hate when they come to an end and one ugly weirdo after another comes to visit. Why do they come in streaks like that?

I have had two cancellations tonight that fucked up my evening. Several guys called in the late afternoon looking for some early evening fun and I had to turn them away and by the time I got the cancellations and tried to offer them a spot they were no longer interested (either they'd gone home or they'd found someone else to see.) They weren't no-shows, but polite cancellers, so I'm not sure how I could have vetted to proven them better. And I had a fucked-up morning where I had to move rooms due to poor phone reception so I know I missed a booking in the morning.

I'm going to be  a little more "sharp" in my dealings tomorrow and make sure to get a good, early start.

oooh....Fabulassie!  I am well jel, as they say in Essex!

As I'm a Londoner myself, I would love to have some of those guys as punters, as you do get a laugh (okay, I used to work in the City, so know what to expect!)..........not "exactly" the same in Dundee.

Apart from the room fuck up, I'm pleased you are doing well!  ;)

I'm relieved because February really has been dire.

I'm trying Heathrow next month. I really don't know if this time and last time (Euston) are flukes - and for that matter, everything could go dead tomorrow.

How is everyone else finding it at the moment? I had a killer weekend and then it died a horrible painful death from Sunday onwards. I'm not used to slow times and starting to get slightly ticked off to be honest. TW's galore but a decent client or even enquiry forget it. :FF

Only 5 more days and it's March thank God!

I'm never very good to tell if things are good or not as I don't think my advance booking only system I am doing right now is very indicative of the market. However, after 2 weeks or so of bb requests and various other stupidity, I finally have some decent advance bookings lined up. So I am happy!  :)

February was an absolute nightmare of idiots and timewasters. With pet related problems breaking the bank I was starting to worry.

Beginning from Sunday I am fully booked (I'm part-time) until 14th March. Literally can't fit any more bookings in if I want to have just a few hours of free time each day. Soooo Happpyyyyyy!!! ;D ;D

I usually take around 3 hours a week. I have 12 booked in over the next 2 weeks. Most are guys I have seen before and I'm fairly certain they will all show up  :o PARTAAYYYYY!!  ;D

Today has been absolutely diabolical! And it started quite well with a couple of promising sounding telephone enquiries from perfectly polite gentlemen with decent feedback... Then it all went pete tong lol, cancellation, a no show. Second part of the afternoon we had builders putting the new flooring down on communal stairs. Had to turn 1 potential hour booking away, then there was a sweet nothing after that. Zilch.
Cant wait for this month to be over!

 Only just literally got to sit down. Had a 30min booking, 2 1hour bookings and have an hour outcall with a reg at 8.30pm. Someone also booked 6pm but after my 3rd booking he phoned and said he had to cancel which I was pretty relieved about tbh cause I could do with an hour or two of chill time now lol.

Full Moon again - phone ringing quite a bit, but only wankers. One actually told me he was wanking over my pictures, then put the phone down when I told him I already figured that out, since he sounded like a complete wanker. Also got an email from a guy wanting to know if I would fly to Brussels on Friday to attend his birthday party. Seems he wants to wank all over his birthday cake, then watch me eat it. Emailed back saying I am a diabetic, and can't possibly eat all that cake. Hope it picks up...

Post by: Fabulassie on 04 March 2015, 12:18:26 pm
Yeah, not many viable calls for me, either. I wasn't feeling too great yesterday so I ended up just turning my phone off. Today I am determined to have a good work ethic and nothing is happening. I'm sure something will come along at some point today, so long as I don't go into "fuck it" mode and lose all motivation.

I'm suffering from lack of motivation - I got a viable call and I was happy to have an excuse not to see him. He wants a booking ASAP and I just couldn't bring myself to rush around and get ready. I actually exaggerated how long I'd need so he'd look elsewhere.

Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Fabulassie on 06 March 2015, 01:28:54 pm
Fucking Hell. I have never had a week like this before!

To give some perspective, ordinarily I see between 10-20 clients in a week. 10 would be a slow week, 20 a very good week. In London last week I saw 27 clients. I tell you this so that you know how long my particular piece of string is, as an independent who works five days a week from a dedicated incall flat. Everyone has various factors and one person's busy is another person's slow.

So, with that perspective I am saying that have had..... ZERO bookings this week. Not a single one. I literally have not had sex in a week, now.

My phone has been quieter than usual and the callers have been less viable. I would say that I have ignored numpty texts and declined bookings from people I didn't like the sound of from maybe a dozen men. I have accepted five bookings and four have cancelled and one has done a no-show. I just had a regular text to say that he is feeling ill and has to cancel. (I have no reason not to believe him.)

I thought I had pinpointed one potential problem the other day when I saw that I had forgotten to put my prices back down to my usual non-London rates. However, that was only on the form. I do still write out my rates clearly at the top of my profile. I also discovered only last night that I had forgotten to tick the "does outcall" box. These two factors may have cost me a booking or two but I can't be sure.

I have run a special offer on half-hours (sometimes I lower the price when I'm in the mood for quick-and-dirty PSE-type bookings, but my usual rate is higher than the local average.) I have also posted a special offer to members of my regional punting forum (advertisers are allowed to tout and there is a special section for us to post for this.)

Nothing worked.

I have had to take deep breaths and reason with myself that this CANNOT be anything to do with me. I have the same new, attractive photos that were successful over the previous two weeks and the same profile copy. Sure, there was a glitch with my prices but that was fixed days ago.

Also, to be fair, I didn't work on Monday as I was at a conference and I wasn't feeling great on Tuesday so I didn't take any bookings/stopped answering my phone - although missed relatively few calls. So, really, this is only two full days and one half day of true deadness. But it's definitely unsettling.

I have never had this happen to me before. I have had a handful of days where I made no money but they have been rare. I remember a couple of dead weeks - one last spring where my friend and I (she a very attractive young size 6) said, "My God, even the time wasters aren't calling!" but I think that meant I only saw five clients or something that seemed utterly dreadful at the time.

I now feel utterly unmotivated and like I want to just fuck off and give up and go home until Monday. I have had some calls and emails about next week, including one from another regular.

But, fuck me - this is unbelievable!

my period was a week late (that's when I went away when I did, so I wouldn't miss 2 weeks work..!)
In hindsight I'm not that bothered, was quite nice being able to take it easy for another week :)
Just hope it's not gonna be totally dead, as I really need to make some cash fast now..!!

I can't really comment on the week cause I'm currently part time and mainly working weekends but if I compare to the weeks I have done vs weekend's, I find I make a lot more on a weekend. Last Saturday I saw 5 clients and had to turn away 3 genuine enquiries. Never stopped.
Today my phone is a little on the quite side but so far done a 1 hour booking and a 15min quickie. Would be happy with 1 more hour x

Mere seconds after I clicked "post" on the above post my phone rang and I got a one-hour booking with a lovely gentleman.

Usually when someone says they've had no bookings for a week or longer I assume that they ordinarily only do a few. That's why I bothered to state what is usual for me: I wanted to make it very clear that this is utterly bizarre.

For me it's dreadfully slow as well. Usuaally my phone is quite busy and today I had maybe two calls and one TW. So Far did two bookings, one was lined up for long time, other was regular. I have one more today with regular. Definitely I'm not gonna make my target (maybe, if miracle will happen and I'll get two more bookings).
Why is it so slow now? I thought february is supposed to be the worst ???

It's now 11 days since I've had any work. On the bright side (?) I'm at least getting timewaster inquiries now. o.O

Yay, progress, congrats!  ;D  Not a bad week last week, but so far only one call today, and that was to cancel an appointment.

Well, I managed to see two clients. I had a third booking that cancelled. At least that's something.If I can limp along like this for the entire week, I will just about be OK.

The last few days have been quiet for me, so I agreed to do an outcall to London for 1pm today, Im based in Watford, so it was 2.5 hours travel time added to 1.5 hour booking...
Damn when I was getting ready one guy phoned up and wanted to come for an hour straight away, but obviously I had to turn him down. Then I had all these missed calls, I didn't even bother calling them back.
Then when I finished my booking and was on the way back logged on to AW 2 bookings, luckily I managed to reschedule one for tomorrow, but the other one was not flexible with time, so I missed out on that too...
Thankfully, when I got back I managed to have 2 more clients 1 hour and a half hour.
So overall it was ok day for me,  still fuming as I could've easily had 2 more today...
Also feeling more knackered than I should be from travelling and stressing.

I have  had profile views but NOTHING, NADA. Just one guy pestering me for a car meet and  getting sexual in his messages and another who seemed like a time waster. I tried to deleted my aw profile but it can't be deactived anymore or deleted, so deleted the information. I have had the profile since last year but because of my constant  breaks I don't even have one review. So i don't know if that put off punters. So putting a new profile up tomorrow with new pics. So I don't know the reason for it being at a stall, not slow but stalled to a stop.

:( I feel really upset. I was worried about this happening, that why I was waiting for the end of march to start again, good thing I never went on a tour,

If you have no feedback then there is really no need for an entirely new profile.

You can change your work name and your photos and pretty much be an entirely different person. I don't think you can change your sex - if someone were to transition then I would guess they'd need a new profile.

I don't know what's makes slow  ??? It's beginning of the month, weather is lovely so what's going on  ???

Business doesn't come flooding regular  straight away remember when first started had to think alot about promoting myself compared to now. One day isn't long enough to get noticed in time only the horn guys will let you know when. Then when it does you will go there it is made it. I am an established escort a sigh of relief.

It is about building a horny relistic fantasy. I have no need to fake my hornyness with them. And respecting clients during bookings they like.

Visualizing and putting more thought into being creative with passion makes business better fast. I have this approach so it is working well for me. Trust in yourself as a successful escort giving your best that have got. In time your business should blossom like a flower. Believe it yourself have faith give it time. Advertise like crazy is the best way brings more traffic. And smile having phone manners with clients in a soft sweet tone over the phone. Just some tips. All this works for me and love doing also have a high growing passion for this building. I love getting paid for sex. All what matters is your focus on escorting how much is put into escorting determines the Cash.  :)

It was really busy for me today again for some reason. But the last guy i took underpaid me by 30 quid.
Totally my fault for taking him, as I was pretty tired by that point. And totally my fault again  not counting the money properly !! Grrrr!! I kinda checked quickly and it looked like it was all there...
Luckily its only 30 pounds, but still really annoying.  :FF

This week is marginally better than last week. A lot more AW emails coming through, and at least there are some bookings. Today I had a half hour, a no show, a cancellation, and then I got a one-hour outcall.

I had today two 1 h bookings, one 30 min, and another 30 min extended to 1 h. Not too bad, but I was hoping for one or two more, especially in lunch time which was completely dead.

I did 3 and half hours Monday and had a no show, 2 hour booking yesterday, my phone is still quiet but it's genuine bookings when it does ring so I can't complain. Hope it picks up for everyone
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: nachos on 11 March 2015, 02:19:02 pm
Not a single phone call or email enquiry today
Going out for a coffee and some lunch, usually the minute I leave my flat to go and do something they all start calling lol
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Fabulassie on 11 March 2015, 02:23:48 pm
Yes, leaving the flat almost always works!

My phone is quiet today. I have had a half hour. I supposedly have an hour at 3 but I'd say the odds of him showing are roughly 50/50. On the one hand, he sounded very reasonable and had a kind, confident voice. On the other, he told me that he has an extremely small penis and so penetrative sex wouldn't be possible. I have seen micropenises before so it's perfectly plausible. And he didn't seem intent on lingering on the phone and talking at length about his cock. He seemed to be telling me sort of in the way one would hope to be warned about a colostomy bag (although I don't think a micropenis warrants warning, really.) But I do tend to think that anyone who talks about the size of their cock is a time waster.

This could go either way! On a busier day, if I'd gotten another booking, I would have bumped him with an apology and explanation.
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Fabulassie on 11 March 2015, 03:46:50 pm
Well! My faith in my own instincts remain intact. Mr. Tiny Cock was a no-show. He almost had me fooled with his non-pervy and reasonable tone of voice but I was right about the cock size talk.

Another text asking if I could arrange a 4 girl to wrestle with him..ignored.A call wanting an outcall duo to dominate him while he does his foot fetish thing..sounded as false as a false beard!
2 calls from the same number but different asian gents talking shite and the final caller booked a 15 min quickie and then no showed!Good job I have a sense of humour and 3 tins of lager in the fridge!Phew!

When it's slow, the time wasters are so much more annoying. I really hate when they text or say something dumb in an email and Im thinking 'Why did you have to say that?" or "If only you haven't called me babe/used "u" for "you"/whatever... it's like being on a desert island with no fresh water, looking at the sea, and thinking "Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink."

Last night I got an aw msg saying his hotel room at a local hotel will be free from 6pm-1am if I needed a place for incalls on Friday and it would be no problem if I wanted him to go down on me after.

Oh its seriously doing my head in now! Usually in March,
when the warm weather kicks in, they all get the horn and work is real busy.... No idea what's happening now!!

I just got a whole load of photos after my photoshoot a couple of weeks back and as I'm being cheap I didn't pay for any photoshopped ones, as I was planning to do them myself. So now my elderly laptop has just died on me!!!

So I'm sitting in yet another coffee shop contemplating life  and purchasing a new laptop.

Lol got SO MANY real ugly pics as well, thank God it was a virtually free photoshoot, I would ve been seriously upset otherwise :)

Post by: Siorse on 12 March 2015, 04:37:02 pm
I'm not busy, but not dead either.. Maybe it's coz I'd been off for a few weeks, and mostly regulars wanting to see me,
but also a few non-regulars..
I quite like it this way, I'm not getting stressed out trying to fit everybody in, but I'm still getting enough business
to get by..
Watch this, I'll have just jinxed myself, and won't get any business at all from now on  ;)

Post by: Fabulassie on 12 March 2015, 06:55:18 pm
Had two today. Missed out on another with a regular because I went and got dinner and our text coms weren't quick enough and then he had to go do something. The phone is ringing but it's all twats. The posh-voiced doctor called me again, today (after never confirming a booking for earlier in the week) and this time I finally told him that I won't see him. He was probably a time waster and he sounded creepy as fuck. Had a guy who wanted me to do role play and wear a thong and I really didn't like the sound of what he wanted or really of his voice and when I said I didn't think we were suited he kept arguing that he didn't mind if I didn't want to wear a particular thing or do role play so why not just do whatever I wanted but by this point all I could think was "This guy is just refusing to take "no" for an answer" so I won't see him. And I've just had two guys asking all sorts of dumb questions about exactly how much tongue in my french kissing, etc. It's like a wanker parade.

Every single one of them had a creepy whingy voice.
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Fabulassie on 12 March 2015, 07:52:27 pm
And I've just turned away a couple more. One guy was almost in there and then he started telling me to dress really dirty and I think I must be in a pretty shit mood or something because it sort of gave me the rage so I declined the booking.

I have turned my phone off. Hope tomorrow goes better.

Hi, sorry to chirp in, I adopted two adult rats who weren't being socialised at all and have the exact same problem as you.  I read up and they said it is a lot of patience and when approaching them have a nibble for them that way they will associate you with something good. 

I also tend to leave my rats cage door open when cleaning their cage out and so far am able to stroke them and they walk over to me and sit on my leg, this is after 3 months.

Mind you, I'm very low volume normally. 3-4~ folks a week is my "normal", seeing as I do outcalls only, in a tiny town. Most of my traffic are people calling me up while they are stuck in hotels over here (oil industry town).

The bottom is falling out of the oil industry, with the price of oil. I had a regular who would stop over in my city when he came home from some oil fields off the coast of Argentina. Last month he told me that he'd just been sacked.

Lots of downsizing going on.

Well that is concerning to hear. With that said, none of my regulars were even remotely connected to the oil industry itself, so I am honestly at a loss why any sort of traffic just... stopped. Goddamn it.

If your regulars aren't a big proportion of your bookings, they may just be doing the same thing as everyone else in the country, which is - apparently - just not punting for whatever reason.

Are you in the UK?

Norway. So I guess anecdotally we can assume that the industry slow-down is a general European problem, at this point. >.>

I was quite busy today maybe coz i advertise on both vivastreet and aw.. I dont know. From reading in here vivastreet doesnt seem to work for everybody and i never advertised pn there before , but yhey had this offer for 30 days free and u get all the benefits from the vip adverts for free so i though i give it a go, and yes there has been. Lot of tw as usual but i get them from aw as well... So it all depends who geta to c ur ad lol

I tried viva street. Not good if you are in MK. ALL I got was hundreds of calls and texts from people wanting an hour for 50 quid. I had two clients from the days of call and text hell. One was a massage and hr for 50 for 45 mins, hey, it was only a massage right, but when he arrived he tried to pretend that he assumed sex. oral, cim was all included and pretended to walk. I waited till he was feeling confident just to tell him to leave as there was no way he was going to walk out on me and leave me feeling down, so I kicked him out instead. The second one was one of my semi regs anyway...I have never used viva street again.

I've been DEAD for the last couple of days.. Well, had a couple of half hour bookings, but my phone's hardly ringing at all.. (apart from in the middle of the night or at other ridiculous hours..)
Anyone else picked up yet or is everybody else still quiet too..?
On the plus side, I got to watch Celtic win the cup  ;D

Central London: dead for me. Freezing cold, Mother's Day, and St Patrick's Parade clogging up the centre. But private gallery sales suddenly increasing, so maybe light at the end of the tunnel. Hoping it's not the oncoming train....   :FF

Tried out vivastreet and deleted after 3 days. Not worth the hassle for me - just a few guys suggesting I halve my fees if I want to see them. Fat chance.

I've had a few bookings off AW this week but from my other work phone I noticed I had a lot of missed calls this week. I thought it was when I was in the loo or gone to the shop as I don't literally hog my phone but then today I had it by my side all morning and noticed a reg had called twice. On my phone I block calls between certain hours but I checked settings and the block Always box was ticked. Over the past 4 days I realised I hadn't actually answered any calls. I missed two regs calls a couple of days ago and I hope they don't think I've blocked them. Wouldn't normally say this but I hope the others were all TWs!

Sodding phone, so touch sensitive. I'd get one of the old press button ones but they can't hold that many contacts.

Looks like I came back just in time for it to pick up. Thank god before I went away it was getting ridiculous with TW's and I wanted to scream. Phone not ringing much but pretty much every call is turning into a booking. About time too now if only the rest of the month would stay that way.

I'm dead as well.. Only TW's, the odd 15min quickie booking, and nothing else..
Was thinking about taking some photo's as well, but can't even be bothered with that.. I've got (yet another) UTI, so
I don't feel a 100%, and I don't feel very sexy, when I feel like this any photo I take turns out crap, so I'd be wasting my time  ::)
I'll give it a shot anyway.. And write a blog.. You never know.
It's not doing my motivation any good, take it it's the same for everybody else who's quiet just now..! :(

How do you all deal with people walking out for no apparrnt reAson? I just had one complete idiot who made a booking through aw... Wanted a role play and then when he came we kind of started on it and all of a sudden said its not gonna work as im much younger than what he thought and im wearing make up... I mean wtf! Really!? If he didnt want me to be wearing any make up he shouldve requested that and when i told him this he just mummbled something... How stupid.. N then he asked for some money back which i dont really do but in this case i thought i will give him half as we didnt do anything.... Do you guys return money and if no what excuse do you use?

Post by: milfy on 17 March 2015, 03:25:58 pm
 If a guy changes his mind after the booking has started i will take out my 30minutes fee and return the rest. I dont make an excuse because if they didnt like me they should cancel before starting booking x
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Soniaescort on 17 March 2015, 04:37:15 pm
I would not give even little penny back because he knew how you look like and he still decided to stay so why I should???
By the way it's one call a day but all genuine bookings. I did 2hours booking yesterday and 2 hrs today.  ::)

Post by: BibiofLeeds on 17 March 2015, 05:14:17 pm
If he has started the booking and you are honest about age and looks on your profile then no I wouldn't give him any sort of refund.He sounds like he bottled it and if he really didn't like makeup or your age then he should have walked at the beginning.

Yes you are all right and thats what i was thinking afterwards...

Had one half hour booking at 10am today (don't normally start work till 1pm ish) but as its still sooooo quiet though best make hay whilst the sun shines, was a nice easy booking though and nice guy.

Had another half booked for 8pm, was at home waiting to go back to incall flat and he cancelled at 7pm, thought I would give it 20 minutes then put my PJs on and washed make up off ............................ immediately phone rang aaarrgghhh :FF

Had half a dozen calls / texts this evening from guys all sounding genuine  :-\ didn't answer any as sat watching a film, but how bloody typical, seriously considering working evenings, but undecided

Don't feel bad about giving him some back as it's easy to say you wouldn't but it depends on their attitude.  Ages ago had a punter who started deep french kissing me and I didn't offer it at the time so told him this and that it was stated on profile. He'd also touched my boobs for about a minute. He said dfk was important and wanted to leave. He asked for 50 out of the 80 back, I said no as I'm not in the wrong. He started moaning so I gave him 30 back. I don't think I could've got away with giving nothing back but you can always try.

Plus the ones who might only stay a short time out of say an hour, might ask for some money back. It's been very rare that someone asks for some money back but only once did someone go on about it that I gave some back just to avoid unpleasantness. I don't regret it. Just had to do what was best.

I don't have experience touring abroad, so can't help you with recommendations per se. There are some other girls more qualified to make statements on that, around here. :) That said, where I am based (Norway) the average hourly prices are very good, but at the same time finding places to work from can be  difficult - purchase and advertising of sexual services is illegal, so the police stuffs their nose into everybody's business.

was running late (probably hoping I'd say to leave it, which I didn't), so he changed his mind for no reason at the last minute..
Please, please, please let it be busier next week, I can't afford to loose anymore weight lol  ;)

It is very true what is focused on attracts. Quietness means to boost your advertising that's all. Remaining  calm and relax with positive thoughts. Feeling happy, keeping busy with other things brings more business. It works for me. :)

I've had a very busy phone today. I had about 4 guys ask for 11am, but someone had already booked that. Then, I had a booking at 12 where I went an hour over because he was awesome. I saw that I missed 5 calls during that time. So, only two clients thus far today (and who knows if there will be another) but it definitely feels like it's back to normal.

Do you guys return money and if no what excuse do you use?

I never return the money if things have already started and I subtract my cancellation fee from the cash if they have already paid then decide they want to cancel for any reason before anything happens i.e. they lose their bottle, but then I only do outcalls so if they get funny in any way I just walk out, no excuse required. I understand it's slightly more difficult than that in incall situations. Personally when I did incalls I exercised the same policy if they wanted to cancel I demanded a cancellation fee and if they had already paid but nothing had occurred I took out my cancellation fee and handed the rest back (I got a lot of grief about this but it's all about being assertive), if they had already touched me in anyway I chucked them out without any form of refund. However I've been told that I can be somewhat kamikaze in this job and should think about my safety more so I don't necessarily advocate my way of doing things to others.

Still steady which is how I like it I hate waiting around all week to make my target in one or two days, feels like half a week wasted even though I make roughly the same amount of money week to week. I don't care if I see 2 or 8 guys a day but I do like to have bookings spaced out throughout the week. Alas that's not how it works out and I usually spend 4 days a week doing steadily well then make the bulk of my money on the other 3 days grrrrr. Just never know which day is gonna be which!

Oh well my husband keeps telling me money is money no matter how it comes in so just be happy to have a fairly steady income.

Today was the first slow day I've ever had in London. I  mean, it's been OK. I've had two bookings of at least an hour and a ninety minute booking has just confirmed to be here in under an hour so I'll make OK money. But it's not what I expect from London and now I'm all paranoid for some dumb reason.

For me it's really slow, but I didn't even display my number today. For some reason I feel exhausted, past 2 days I slept almost all the time, my right eye is bit swollen and I don't feel good in general.
I need to kick myself in the ass, I was planning to work a lot this week, and now two days went for nothing -,-

If yesterday had happened in my home city, I would have been well chuffed: two hours and two ninety minutes, and at a higher rate than at home. But it did feel quiet for London.

I have stayed up for five nights running and paid to feature for when I'm back next month (and I'll go to a different part of town, as well.) I do think it helps to feature in London. Makes no difference at all back home.

I've been very very busy started slow on Friday but still good and I was tired and didn't push myself even though the phone was very busy but then mMonday was non stop took my first appointment at 11am and my last at 11pm & literally didn't stop  Tuesday was really good  as well
 had my first client at 7.30 and didn't stop till 5pm and then another rush for a few hours


I think if I had pushed myself more on the weekend I could have done loads more. Or if I was willing to work past midnight I could have done a load more bookings
Mon & tues was down to my friend telling me to get loads of red bull to keep me going and my last client asked if I wanted anything and I asked for more red bull

Same as yesterday. Nadda. :S Which is weird since i did ads & they have worked so well for me up til now, theres always that paranoia that it's your phone not letting calls through lol. I managed to have a 3 hour nap & get no calls. Just what i needed though since getting up early, catch up on sleep (Y). I timed it during hours that are ussualley dead anyways but just goes to show.

Yup, me too. Quiet from 2-5 and then around 5:30 the phone started to ring. Managed to nail one down and my late evening booking actually confirmed at 6 as I asked him to. (This puts the booking at maybe a 50/50 chance of actually happening.)

I had a 90 minute meeting then nothing until I had already decided to clock off. If it's a longer booking like 90 mins I don't mind if I only see one client. Clients are like buses: they all seem to want to meet at the same time.. Then nothing for ages.

I wouldn't worry too much! I've worked in London during every conceivable school holiday (as well as tube strikes, appalling weather, big events that cause chaos) and it's never made much of a difference. - I'll be there Sunday week as usual. Punters still have to go to work :).

Yes, problem is I'm living with a friend while looking for an apartment and only doing outcalls at the moment (which CONSIDERABLY reduces business). And it's going to take me a little while to find a place as I'm very specific with the location (besides the fact that due to the nature of our business I need to take into consideration many things when looking for an apartment).

Oh well. :-\

Weirdly getting by with ukadultzone bookings. Adultwork has been down on and off today & my 2 bookings today came from oddly both ukadultzone. Not bad for a free ad. I never found I had many bookings from them perhaps they've vamped up their marketing IDK. I did just add new photos to all my alternative ads however.

Certainly not busy here - one 1 hr appointment for a schoolteacher fantasy. May or may not turn up. I'm a bit dubious, but prepared to be pleasantly surprised. Then a dinner date with a regular, which is definitely going to happen. If the naughty school boy shows, it'll be an ok day, but phone very quiet.

People have gone away for the Easter hols, and it'll only get worse in the next few days.

i'm having such a stressful time with time wasters and barely and genuine bookings coming thru :(

i work part time, mon-wed from a hotel and up until a few weeks ago, could near enough bank on taking 3-5 clients, and refusing bookings because of overlap / i felt i'd earned enough money for the week! two weeks ago I worked and just broke even on the hotel room  :o it freaked me out a bit and i took the next week off. back to work now and this week I had just one client yesterday and about 4 people make bookings only to cancel/no show/pisstake today  :FF

i don't think i can continue working from hotels, or at least this one particular pricey hotel i regularly work from in euston (i  like to work here because it's discreet) -- but i'm depending on sex work to make money! I'd really appreciate it if any london wgs could pm me to recommend some alternate, discreet hotels at lower price points, any where in london really as i don't mind traveling. please!! I'm so bummed out about this, previous to now I consistently earned a fair amount of money - now I'm at a loss!! I'm literally paying to be fucked by strangers and not the other way round  ???  :-X

Have they gone off me or is it because of the Easter holidays and guys are with their kids and on holiday etc?! Bloody kids ruining our work days!  :FF

Been a bit slow for me but not a terrible day. Was ill last week though so trying to make up for it. So far had an hour booking with a guy I only see if desperate for the work :( had a 15min and a 10 min (nice little earner, 40quid blow n go offer ;) haha) and got an hour at 7pm then that's me done.

Today was good! I had three hour bookings nearly back-to-back and turned one down so that I could go eat and have a walk. I also missed a bunch of calls. I should have been more motivated to work today as this week has been moderately quiet but I am not in in my comfort zone here and find bookings a bit more mentally taxing than I would. Perhaps there will be another tonight - perhaps there won't!

It does happen all the time you get quiet and busy times.

Maybe with Easter coming up some clients will be with families and can't get away,or just can't afford it at the moment.

A lot all depends where you are and the area your working,as sometimes if there's events on i can get busy with people from different towns passing by x :-\

Things aren't crippling slow, but on tour for the first time in months and forgotten how many time wasters you have to deal with as the new girl. Yeesh, and really?! and god damn I can see you coming a mile away but where are the real punters? Maybe I should just go back home and stay there because it's exhausting to be having phone conversations that lead nowhere all the time...

Don't get me wrong, touring's great! I'm all about it. And in places I've toured frequently you start to weed out time wasters.

And to be honest, some of it's kinda funny. Like the guy who sends me this text 5 to midnight: "Are you really available today or did you just have your light on from yesterday."

I dunno, dude. You check the time. I assume you can ?

School holidays are always slow I find, but I'm beginning to wonder if my gut instinct is failing me, as I've had a couple of tw's this week who sounded very genuine on the phone when booking, and then not confirming on the day.  Normally I can spot them a mile off, but it is a tad frustrating when it's quiet and this happens.  Luckily I managed to replace the one yesterday, and it's still early, so I might get to replace the one today. 
I wonder if those of us who have been in the business for a long time, still get fooled by tw's?

Oh, we do alright, just not as often.

I was getting ready to go home yesterday at about 5.30pm when a bloke rang and asked if I could do an hour at 7.15pm - he sounded perfectly genuine so I agreed and gave him clear directions to the landmark as he wasn't local and he told me where he was staying, which was less than ten minutes away.

At 7.20pm I texted him as I was concerned he'd got lost and he said he was just walking up, then ten minutes after that when he still hadn't called I was convinced he'd gone the wrong way so I rang him as it was coming up to half past by now. He assured me he was just turning into and walking up my road - the road I was by now standing in and looking down, which predictably had nobody in sight ::)

I do wonder what they get out of knowing that he'd made me, you know, get home a couple of hours late ???

I'm ticking along so far. Did 2 bookings yesterday and I have an hour so far booked in today. I'm having Easter weekend off so hopefully it will pick back up at the same or better pace Tuesday onwards.

It's comforting in some small way to know that nobody is utterly immune to time wasters.

Amy, your guy sounds like a guy who called me a couple of weeks ago. Really went to great lengths to convince me he was on his way.

I honestly think I get about the same amount of tws by phone as when I first started, from AW and other places but much more able to suss now of course.

I had someone I?ve seen 3 times over a year, book yesterday with half hr notice and then no show. First one of the year and it?s someone I knew! I?ve had about 3 others who I've seen once or twice over the years who then no showed although never had a reg do it. Maybe it was because I was unable to see him earlier and he was annoyed and I think with some of them who like to mess, they have the fantasy that they are somehow very special compared to other men and entitled to be offered freebies  >:(

another booking at 3 just cancelled as "he forgot he's card" (it's second time this week I'm having this excuse)
Then in the evening I have regular.

One reg this morning who text 5mins after he should have been here saying he couldn't make it but might be able to squeeze me in tomorrow  :FF

If he books I will cancel on him 5mins before because I think these Mr important so busy types need putting in their place from time to time. Thankfully I'm taking the next week off or I'd end up without any clients left!

All this headbanging will give us migraines and frown lines :( but I hear ya  :)

Had one fairly decent one today at least but two called today wanting to give me a grand total of 5 mins notice. When they told me where they were, they were indeed 5 mins or less away by car. They knew where I was so must've read my profile yet seemed to miss the bit about giving minimum half hour notice  :FF

I've had three long bookings and the fourth (one hour) just cancelled. However, the last was two hours and I'm feeling a bit drained so I'm sort of relieved. I shouldn't be, but I am. I'm really not at my best this week and have barely limped through covering my hotel and then my weekly minimum.


I could probably replace the cancellation but I don't want to. I want to fuck off and do nothing for a while.

Post by: Fabulassie on 02 April 2015, 04:08:46 pm
I got lucky - a decent-sounding gent called to make a booking for 6:30, so I will end up having had three hour-or-longer bookings and I still get a break. And then my evening ends at a reasonable time and I can fuck off and relax guilt-free.

This tour (Liverpool) hasn't been great but after expenses I've still made at least what I would have made at home and I got to go to a gig on Tuesday night and see some friends I haven't seen in a while so I'm glad I came.

I think I"ll give Liverpool anther chance at some point - just make sure it's not a week when some schools are on break.

try not to stress too much about the lack of work, it will only make you question yourself a lot more and give you headache.  Take the weekend off, switch your phone off, do not touch your laptop and buy lots of chocolate and comfort food and just have a cosy weekend chillaxing. xx

Guy today for 3pm 1 hour suddenly wants an overnight! Yeh right. Never seen me before. I say no, need more notice and hotel booking, he asks for Monday at his house! Urm no!

Guy for this evening wanted outcall an hour away - asked for deposit - not forthcoming.

Wankers texting me all week. I'm taking Fluffy Bunny's advice, number coming down and I'm settling in. Got a friend visiting tomorrow and I find the bank hols usually dead for me anyway.

Keep the faith everyone and hope you have a good weekend whatever you do xx

all fucked up when I switch it on again..!!
I think I might even have lost a potential regular (seen him a couple of times and when the texts eventually came through
there was about 5 from him..) because of it..  :(

Yes I spent Thursday and yesterday in a hotel and was that bad didnt even make my costs back.

On the Thursday I had one 30 minute booking, one cancel, one wanted to come late which I couldnt do and one no show.

Friday I had two 15 minutes, 6 that didnt confirm and two lookers.

Then after all that I had to turn down an hour booking in the evening as ended up with a migraine.

Never doing incalls over easter again.

Well I decided to take the easter weekend off, my phone was dead yesterday morning anyway so when it ran out of charge after lunch I didnt bother to charge it again till just now. How happy I now am to realise that yesterday was going to be one of those randomly ridiculously busy days and I took the day off thinking it would be dead. 27 missed call texts buzzed through my phone just now and I sat dismally watching it buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz with each new notification

How wonderful  :FF

I knew it would be a quiet day because there was very little traffic when I drove in to my work flat this morning. I think this is a holiday that a lot of people take because it's been winter for so long. However, I have had a few calls. Missed a booking this morning because I was running errands and couldn't make it in in time, and had to turn another away because I had another booking in the afternoon. And there's a regular coming this evening. So, looks like only two clients but at least the phone has rung a bit. This week probably won't be great but I think I'll scrape by.

The Easter holidays aren't finished yet though.

In Scotland this is only the first of a two week break.  I think it's the second week of a two week break in England though.

At times like this guys have to take time off work to watch family the same as the mother has too.

I had ONE today. Just one hour. At least it was a good booking. I had a sorta regular text about coming to see me but then seemed to drop off the face of the Earth. Guess he won't be coming. I hold on hoping for something this evening. I think a lot of girls don't work evenings so there's always a call or two.

Public holidays and kids being off school never really affects me too much, just plodding along with regulars making up the bulk of my money. Thank god for regulars but also a steady stream of new clients as well, averaging about 3-4 hours a day this week. Good start to April!

It was a pretty crap week for me. I made half of my quota, which is better than nothing.

It was so quiet I put quickies on my profile and that helped a little bit. I hate quickies when it's normal/busy but don't mind them when it's very quiet because then I'm in a "better than nothing" frame of mind.

But I am a total clock-watcher with quickies!

I'm just having a spate of "how much" and "where are you" calls which means they haven't bothered to read my ads. If they can't be bothered to read, I can't be bothered to talk!

I was just ?20 short of my target earnings for this week so not too bad.

Bound to pick up anyway next week now Easter school hols is coming to an end.

April is usually a fairly crap month over the Easter in my experience.

I've had my number up for several days now and it's nothing but time wasters? I was under the impression that I was missing out by taking bookings from email only (and then getting them to call) but turns out that method has actually been saving me from a lot of tripe. Always youngish guys with London accents (even though I'm in the south west) and asking for stuff I don't offer or expecting me to turn up at their house in 30 mins. Only reason I'm keeping my number up is in the vague hope I get some early bookings for my first incall weekend coming up, but the minute that's over I'll be taking it down again.

Hang in there - you're going to go through a few days of time wasters whenever your number is new to an area, as all the twats will call to try it on.

If you want a higher volume of bookings, displaying your phone number is the way to go. It does mean that you will have to answer the phone to time wasters, but if you get used to it, just block them, and it gets better.

Some clients don't have time to go through the process in a rush or what not. Time wasters or should I say free lancers the email method works best for them. But still they phone you get to jist with things in time.

Has anybody else found today, Monday, is rather quiet?

I would have thought I would have had an email to wake up to even - but no such luck - however one guy did text this morning to request half an hour - only to have to cancel it owing to his work commitments.

phone on, and the bloody thing does what it always does, and won't let any messages or phonecalls through I've missed over
the weekend  :FF

I've never bothered re missing calls.  Especially if I couldn't work. 

If I couldn't work then why bother answering as I worked "on the day" and if I was already working and they specifically wanted to see me then they would call back.  If they didn't then it wasn't meant to be.

It's not as if every call turned into a booking anyway.  Don't stress re what could have been.

I have totally had a slow several days in regards to inquiries...I tend to book ahead so I'm still busy, but I'm worried that's about to abruptly end. :(

I'd also had a spate of weird cancellations; death in the family, broken foot, car accident on the way to see me! I could even hear the police officer in the background when speaking on the phone. o_o Crazy!

I'm still pretty new to this; do people find one part of the month busier than the other?

Sorry if I have rubbed it in a bit today, but it has taken me ages to get to a standard where i can even decline a call from someone i don't really wanna see.

It has been hard work to get to this level and i have really worked hard promoting myself and giving a good service.

At last my hard work has paid off.

Not gonna blow my money away by buying stuff i don't really need either will need to put some a side for a rainy day as i expect to be quiet.

Was just very surprised by the high volume of bookings i had today and i wasn't rubbing it in,more letting others know that there are good and bad days in this business.

Fingers crossed it will carry on but very much doubt it and hope everyone that has been quiet that things will pick up soon xx

Same Selena,  I've tried to go Indie but it just doesn't seem to work for me, and to be honest I quite like the idea of not having to deal with messages etc all day every day. I have a good agency though TBF.

Funny though haven't had one booking today! Yesterday was manic. Just goes to show it's swings and roundabouts x

Bloody hell me too Red KB.  I've had 4 no shows since Sunday.  The 4th one did actually phone me (I forgot to block him) 40 mins later to apologise for a meeting over running and could he come now since he was about 10 minutes away.  I was so pissed off because he'd booked in advance, sounded lovely and even rang this morning when I asked to confirm his booking.  When he didn't show up, coupled with all the other wankers I've had not show lately, I just gave him a mouthful and told him never to call me again.  It was worth it!  :FF 

A timewaster here and there is pretty annoying, but several at once fucks with your head.  I feel your pain hun xx

I dont know if its the kids off school or easter but this week has been exceptionally quiet. I do get 2 or 3 days per month that are not that busy but a whole week ita way too much. Especially when you havent made enough the week before lol . Well i hope it will get better from next week on..:)

I try not to rub it in when I'm doing well but I sometimes like to drop by and let people know when things are on the upswing... and today has been good. Had a quickie, have a 45 minute booked in this afternoon, and a dinner date tonight. Assuming all goes to plan it should be a profitable day. Monday was a bit crap with only one hour booking in the evening. But Tuesday was four bookings. Yesterday was one long booking. Assuming I make something tomorrow, it's going to be a decent week.

But the hours I have to put in to make money are pretty long. I am trying to show up early and be ready early so as to not miss anything in the morning (as I did on Monday when I was out running errands.) I made money only by staying late and holding out for the call that I knew would eventually come in the evening. It's so easy to get discouraged and just pack it in early saying "I'll try again tomorrow." It takes a lot of will power to keep the "I'm sexy and available!" mood going until 8pm if nothing has happened all day.

It doesn't matter what part of the country i am from as we all get our quiet spells and no doubt i have had more than my fair share in the past, and no doubt will get it again in the future.

Maybe the guys wanna try something new for a change and i do work as a couple every now and again, and i know that if my sex work partner isn't working and gets a text or call if that person is working i know that this person will do the best to send them in my direction x  :)

Where in the southwest are you I'm in Bristol and although the phone was very quiet I still did 3 bookings mon and Tuesday  and 2 yesterday but they were 2hrs and 90 mins My target is 3 1 hrs a say over 5 days so I look at it over a 5 day period not day by day and generally always hit it as long as I put in the time

On Wednesday I missed two regs as I finished at 2pm and then went to my running group in the evening but I did have a 2 hr in the morning with a reg and a 90 mins with a reg in at 10pm so that was ?400

I could have also on Monday done an outcall for ?250 but I don't like doing outcalls and because I finished by 6.pm I missed at least another 2 booking
Strange as well as I had two guys both wanting outcalls as well  - I wish I didn't mind doing them but I really don't like doing outcalls as a rule
So although the phone is quiet it's been ok

This week has been very hit-or-miss. One day phone barely rings, next day it's brisk. Yesterday I had to turn away quite a few bookings due to awkwardly-spaced bookings that didn't quite leave enough gap. Today, nearly nothing. I have one guy booked in for 3:30 from VS and I can't say I'm really looking forward to it. He sounds harmless but I think he may be a bit odd.

I have a gig I've been looking forward to for weeks that I'm going to tonight so I am stopping at 6:30. That is, I need to be in the shower and getting ready at 6:30. And I am pretty sure that this means I'll get lots of calls in a couple of hours from guys wanting to come at 6 or 6:30 and I'll be irritated with myself for not taking the money. But these are bands I won't get to see otherwise and I'll be damned if I'm missing this gig!

Well! I've just come on my period so have decided to cancel my one booking and take the day off. By which I mean "go to boots and search for suitable sponges because I'm out of beppys"

I hope you ladies have a great day!

I've  only had two clients  today and they were both kind of regulars.. My phone hasn't rung at all.  I just put an ad on vivastreet and have not received  one phone call from that ad.. Am wondering  if I wasted my money putting that ad up.  :-(

Getting noticed on different sites all takes time.  Don't expect an immediate response, I would give it a month or two minimum.  Sometimes I think we are too quick to expect an immediate response.

When advertising on sites such as vivastreet, you have to investigate and see what may be missing in other ads and try and make that stand out in your ad ~ so long as it's not pushing your boundaries. 

It's not always just about what the individual offers.

Vivastreet is building all the time, and with them and other sites you advertise on, you've got to find something different that appeals to the guys.

Had a tolerable day in Central London: 2 x 1 hr, 1 x half hr, and a BJ quickie. I'll give it another hour, invest another ?2 bumping my ad up on backpage, then take a shower if nothing happens. Tomorrow is another day, and the weather forecast is good, so will go for a long walk through London's parks.

This guy phoned, booked, even told me what he wanted to wear, etc, than cancelled because he "didn't realise the time" 2 mins later..?!

You're new right? It takes time to become established, just be patient and keep doing what you're doing. Also advertise everywhere you can for free. A search around this forum and the main site should give you ideas of where.

Just a slow patch most likely then. Just bolster your advertising if you've slacked on it beyond AW. If it's all up to date etc then you're doing everything you should be doing and wait for business to pick up.

It happens. I've had my business effectively halved in January and Feb, and only around 20% of the regular traffic in March. Despite that, everything's back to normal now that April hit. It will pass. :)

ERD, Google the names and the numbers of the girls who work around you and see where they are listed and you may find some new directories to list yourself on that works in your area.

Different sites and directories work in different places. 

I hear girls from down south talking about backpage but when I used to advertise there it didn't really work for where I am and if I did get any calls it was from types I wouldn't see. :FF

Yep I Agree but backpage is generally so cheap outside of London i find it's worth it to pay to be on there
 I normally get a few bookings a week from backpage in Bristol but it only cost me around ?10 die 3 months or so  but even In London thud week it cost me ?25 for a week but I have had 4 1hours long bookings from it in 4 days and 1 90 mins so a worth while expense

Viva st I find it works well in certain cities but not as well in others

I don't know what AW have done but ever since January phone enquiries and even TW's have dramatically dropped off, I've a feeling AW have changed the AW site outlay to limit what can be seen by clients who search on for us on their mobile devices, a new client told me in that he couldn't read my AW profile or see my likes list from his phone he could only see my name my profile photo and my telephone number, don't know if this have been developed to stop kids seeing pornography but there has been a definite and sudden downturn in the number of enquiries since Christmas last year. Could be its a good thing as those that do call me seem to be more genuine but I can only say thank God for my regulars.

I had another acceptable day in Central London - 3 x 1 hr, and a half hour quickie. It's slowly picking up for me, and I'm feeling much better after a slow February/March. Weird day though. I had another 3 pre-bookings, all strangers, one cancelled and two simply didn't show. None of them had sounded dodgy.

I had a good enough day in central London - but 6 of them were half hours and the other one was one hour. So, I'm glad I was busy and I guess I'm glad that they were mostly quick and easy. I hurt myself out partying on Friday night and my back has been bothering me so I am a bit tired.

Phone is very quiet today! This may be the quietest I've yet experienced in London. But strangely I'm not bothered. I know there will be something tonight if I'm not getting tired out early! I'm happy to just chill and rest - my back is more of a problem than I'd initially realised.

This always happens to me too!  The funny (and messed up) thing is that i'll get to a certain distance 5 minutes down the road, and they start calling.  When I get to the corner now, I expect it lol.  It's just plain weird.  It's almost like the Universe is having a little laugh at my expense.  Drives me nuts!

My last Heathrow tour, the nearest shop was like a 15/20 minute walk away. I was halfway there when someone called for a booking... told him I could meet him in 45 minutes. Apparently that wasn't soon enough  :FF
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Fabulassie on 21 April 2015, 04:05:12 pm
My phone DID start to ring just as soon as I started to put food in my mouth. I ended up with one hour and then fielded several calls all wanting to come at the same time. I had one guy call for 5pm for an hour and I'd booked him in. Then turned away a handful of others. Just got a cancellation off Mr. 5pm and saw that he'd texted in a timewastey way last time I was here (I hadn't saved his number as he hadn't been severely timewastey and this time he'd called so I didn't see the text thread.)

Have tried to get back to the guys I turned down but I don't think any of them are still interested.

Then some guy called asking for 5pm for a half hour but he sounds a bit... unsure. I've accepted the booking and written down his number and I will bump him if anything better comes along. When I'm working in the City I get a little more ruthless with my bookings - not quite double booking, but definitely staggering arrival/confirmation times and cancelling if necessary. Well, I'm going to do that for the rest of this week.

Thank god I already accepted another booking who maybe will even show up in the next few minutes. (This was done after the first text saying he was running late and I already suspected he wasn't going to make it.)

Well! The guy I accepted was in a massive hurry and very cheerfully paid my half hour rate and was in the room for no more than 4 minutes. He was really sweet and friendly and just happy as a lark. "Gotta go before I get a ticket!"

That really made up for the earlier bullshit.

Who knows?! But he seemed completely happy about it. He did say on the phone that he was after a "quickie" and I said that my shortest was a half hour and he was utterly on board with the whole thing.

God, I wish he grew on trees.

And I have another one on the way due any minute. In fact, I stand to make more now than if my original 5pm booking hadn't cancelled. So, I'm happy.

Oh for fucks sake! Now my 6:30, who had to push back to 7:00 because the train was running late, is still late. Texted 11 minutes ago to say he was walking and would be "5-10 minutes." And that means he's now pushing up against my 90 minute booking. FUCK! I will have to text the 7:45 guy and tell him I'll need an extra few minutes if this guy even shows.

At least my last client was very nice and it was a long booking so at the end of the day, I did make decent money. Not the sort of money I'd hoped to make but it wasn't so bad.

It seems to be some sort of black spot inbetween Easter hols and payday maybe? I'm not too bothered right now as I've got a big deadline to meet in my other job, but I have noticed that a lot of enquiries aren't being converted into bookings - more so than normal. I had to turn down two yesterday as well, which was annoying.

Actually I was pleasantly surprised at Heathrow I always thought it was a bit of a concrete jungle and normally run bath rd but it's boring and rid a case of what kills u first the bus fumes or getting run over by one.
but I asked the concierge a good place to run and he directed me to some lovely semi countryside run not even 10 mins from the Airport
Even saw QPR footballers training ( well it was some rather fit men at QPR training ground

Easter Monday and Tuesday I was flat out and since then it's been so quiet. Thankfully I've managed to get a few longer bookings but there's not the usual flurry of 30 mins clients, waking up every day to no texts except off the 3am TWs and jumping every time the phone rings :(
I considered a tour to make some money but judging by this thread I'm glad I didn't!

Hurry up payday! Is it last Friday of the month or something? I don't even know when civvies get paid anymore :P

Monthly "pay days" are spread  throughout the month but the majority of salaried people get paid 28th of month unless that falls at weekend and they get paid Friday before.   It's not this month until next Tuesday so things should start to pick up then.

Just thought though. Then there is May Day holiday at beginning of May, so don't know what will happen.

In Scotland I think we only get break at end of month but elsewhere it is first and last weekend of month.  :'(

Had a total shit day yesterday, decided to turn my phone off and go for a sleep about 4ish, just felt crap..
Woke up at 9pm, missed quite a few calls and texts, not hundreds, but before I switched it off, my phone'd been DEAD!
Bloody typical..  ::)
Hope today's gonna be better, got one booking so far, my PG isn't doing too great either, despite adding pics at least once a week  :(

Not a bad day in Central London: 2 1 hr incalls, 1 half hr incall, and a 1 hr hotel outcall booked this evening. Stupidly I had an attack of the lazies and went out for a fish curry and an espresso martini, and promptly lost a booking with a regular.   :FF

My day has been busy but stressful as there are so many cancellations, late guys, replacing late guys with short-notice guys, late guys showing up late and wondering why I wasn't answering... ugh.

But there is money being made.

It's been super quiet.. I though things would improve with the good weather.  The annoying thing  is the phones been dead all day then a handful of calls after I finish for the day.  I don't like working  after 10 pm but it just seems like that's when I get all the calls. I turned  down a booking because he was from a high risk country but beginning  to wonder if I should be lies choosy.

I've been very busy this week but I lowered my prices by 10 at the weekend. Not sure if it's just coincidence but some men do have a budget and an absolute maximum they'll pay I guess, so will do it for another week and see.  I'm experimenting as I'm happy with the lower price, wouldn't be for any lower though, but am less tolerant of those who faff around whereas at the higher price, if they want to take a few minutes extra for chatting/showering whatever I didn't mind so much.

I took the day off.. Yesterday was dead, one booking  :( , and my phone was dead.
Then (same as lacey666) about 9pm the calls started coming in, but I don't like working at night either, and I'd already
washed my face and put my jammies on so told them I was finished.
I used to work nights in summer, maybe I should start working later again as well  :(
So took the day off today, just could not be bothered, didn't even log into AW or anywhere else..
Here's hoping we're all gonna be mobbed tomorrow!!  ;)

I haven't found it slow this month at all, in fact last week was my second best week of the year and it's shaping up to be the best month of the year so far, hoping to beat January's total. I did however up my advertising and pay for a couple of new ads it really does help when it seems to be getting quiet to pay a few quid for premium spots, they more than pay for themselves.

Same here the last month has been really good.   it's a little bit quiet yesterday but I agree that upping advertising in other places generally pays off when it's quiet

Haha same for me now had 1 X 2 hour bookings, a 1 hour booking and still got 2 x 1 hour bookings to go. All through agency. I know it's a dirty word on this forum but for those who are quiet has anyone considered it to fill in those quiet times? Or are you mostly ex agency anyway?

Bloody hell I'd be dead on my feet lol. 6.30 can't come quick enough for me. Just want to get this last booking done so i can have a nice refreshing shower, get the PJs on, makeup off and hair scraped up lol. Bliss!

But agency isn't a dirty word to me. I used to be with 1 for nearly a year and been with a few others intil i got fed up of them and went independent.  Best thing i ever did. Every so often when it's quite i do consider an agency again but i just don't think i could bring myself to do it again. They take the piss too much.

I had a good day of being steadily booked from 12 to 7, and I think I may have mustered up the strength to see more only my last two clients brought wine and I ended up tipsy, tired, and hungry. I went out and got pizza and sort of hoped that I would rally and come back ready for more. I walked into my room and sure enough the phone was on my desk ringing. Nice-sounding fellow just around the corner wanting to come by for an hour.... and I couldn't do it. :( Just didn't have the motivation. I am DONE for the week and have turned my phone off.

That said, it was my best week thus far. But good lord did I work hard for it.

I've got a client I ended up deciding not to see because I got the TW vibe after he called three times to talk about a booking with no idea when he would be 'free' so set him to 'ignore'. This was on Tuesday. He's been calling me incessantly, every single day since! (I can't block on my phone, setting to 'ignore' has always done the trick in the past)

Anyway, I've decided not to take any more bookings until I go on Tour now as I've got a load booked in tomorrow and then exams coming up next week.

I hope this idiot stops calling at some point during that period.  :FF

I've had 5 1 hour bookings this week. Not loads but I'm happy not doing too much escorting at the mo as I also work 40 hours a week in my day to day job. I used to escort full time for a few years and made really good money, but eventually decided to get a full time job as the bookings were drying up in my area and I couldn't take the constant stress every month of wondering whether I would make rent. Much happier now that I have the best of both worlds with a steady job and money I can save for treats like holidays etc from the escorting. Xx

I forgot to put available  today on my profile  though so that may be part of the reason. I usually put it up when I'm working.

The whole of April has been the worst month for so far. I was getting worried, but after looking back over the month the work has covered my expenses, so that's a relief.  This week it has picked up fantastic,  bookings every day and 90% are regulars. Next week bookings coming in already with regs as well. I hope the dry phase is behind me.

Quiet for me today to and I am touring Portsmouth, but I haven't been consistently showing up on aw desktop search, so sort of blaming it on that, plus stupid time to be touring since it's the end of the month.
Bookings for tomorrow and Friday though, so holding out for then.
Hotels are boring  when it's quiet, plus I smoke, so have to keep going outside  :(

April turned out to be my best month of the year so far and now I'm away for two weeks thank god, I more than earned the break. I easily surpassed my already extremely healthy earnings total from January, which was my goal for the month.

Extra advertising was my secret this month, I don't use AW so I rely on other directories etc. and so paying for premium advertising when I thought it was going to be quiet meant I doubled my usual earnings for the month, which are already quite high. Yes I spent quite a bit on the advertising but I made it back and then some.

I intend to do that every month now so hopefully I'll never experience a dead time again, quiet I can handle... dead oh no that I cannot handle. Is this your secret too ParisB? I rarely see you complaining about it being quiet so I'm guessing you splurge on advertising when necessary too :D

Generally yes , I tend to put myself on most sites in my area and then extra ones when I tour
It can sometimes take a while for the adverts to kick in start working but overall they tend to pay off
I also put my tour dates on my extra adds as well even if they aren't in that location as guys do travel

Some adverts work better in some places than others but after a while you get to know what works well
You might find that you only need to advertise every other month rather than every month once you tweet it all


You will still get quite days/periods  but as a rule they won't be as quiet if you were not advertising - if that makes sense
So on the days where you would be dead /no bookings ect you will generally get work from other adverts

A good friend who is normally super busy, rarely gets TW or hagglers has put herself on a  new directory  in the past week  and has been getting loads of TW and idiots calling which I think she is attributing to this particular directory as she rarely get t/w and idiots calling
So it can be a bit of trial and error at first and a bit of tweaking adverts till you get it right

My phone is eerily silent today. It seems that the less I am available in my home city (I've been touring more and more) the less my phone rings when I'm home!

Well don't you think that's because locals who are interested kind of gave up? They always see you away so just stopped trying?

That's certainly possible.

However, I only JUST NOW realised that my profile headline still says "IN LONDON EUSTON" - even though I'd double-checked my postcode and put my profile back to the way it usually is when I'm in my home city. I totally overlooked my headline!  :FF

Got off to an early start today, barely eating breakfast to be ready for a no-show. Ah, well. It's good to be suited and booted for the day by my usual start time.

Got another down for 3pm but I'm getting time wasting vibes off him as he's asked me if I'm located in another (vaguely nearby) town and then asking if I liked gifts. I replied, "Oh, no thank you. Gifts are not necessary as I have everything I need." I think he was going to offer me something instead of cash so I just said I don't need any gifts. Haven't heard back off him so I consider him no longer booked.

Yep a really crap week for me - two half hour bookings all week only!

Ratings all fine and profile fine - can only be because it is now spring and punters have other priorities until May settles in.

It was the same last year.

Post by: BlaqHarlot on 01 May 2015, 02:51:04 pm
I'm getting virtually no bookings!

It's been like this for a few weeks and I'm starting to think there is something wrong, I hardly get emails, I get a few calls but they never lead to a solid booking.
I had one booking last week and before that I hadn't had one in 4 weeks!

I'm not sure why, but I have a feeling it's down to an ex regular of mine posting the most horrible things about me on another forum which as a "punter" reading it, would put me off. I tried disputing it but got ignored of course. He was stalking me and threatening to out me if I didn't see him when he wanted and things like that. I stopped all contact and he posted some really awful things.

Since then I've wanted to quit, I've had to delete a lot of my free and private gallery photos in case he saves them and I've cut down my profile a lot so I'm not recognisable. I'm also considering starting all over again with new pictures new profile new number to see if I will get business that way.

I'm just not sure why I'm not getting any bookings it's really annoying since I really really enjoy this job and would love to be really busy!

It's upsetting since I'm so far from the things this man said I'm 21 and I know I could do great in this but it's like this stupid ex client has ruined it for me. All I get is timewasters, I really need the money aswell.

Do i give up now haha .Ive been featured in the local search of the counties i work in (I'm on the border if you were wondering) and paid for available now. Had one email last night saying id like to book, i like Dom/sub sessions. I dont  offer those so i just said i dont offer Dom/ sub sorry. Ge then proceeded to ask more questions to which i answered all details are on my profile. He then came back to ask where exactly i was located  :FF. to which i replied I'm afraid i dont give my exact location as i dontoffer in calls. He says your profile says you do.. No where on my profile does it say i do in calls  :FF so i politely said if you read my profile properly and thoroughly you would have seen the part where it says outcalls inlay.. No response.. Wonder why lol. Sorry for the rant  :-[

I notice you dont offer incalls. If I just offered outcalls I wouldn't get hardy no work whatsoever. Try and book a hotel for the day and offer incalls (cheap Ibis). Advertise as incall day/ tour day. Your work will pick up

The mobile went off this p.m. I was planning to work but then I got stressed owing to yet another car emergency - the oil pressure guage is constantly flashing on despite the oil being fine and I had to ask the neighbour twice for his assistance.

Car hitches really do put me off my stride at work! :(

Never mind back working from Tuesday order should be then restored for us all.

Weekends vary they can be good or steady. I thought today wasn't good but with a few bookings already and a long out call tonight makes me well over target. This has taken me by surprise but my new approach is just to go for it seems to be working for me. Give it time things should improve.

Tempted to just switch my phone off and relax.

How does this work in terms of phones, do you have 3 different phone numbers? (so you know/can monitor where your calls are coming from, i.e., where your advertising is working) -- or do you have one phone that is a dual sim one, in which case you have 2 phones instead of 3. (If so, still sounds like a bit of bother to me, I'd probably end up getting in a pickle - look farcical rummaging around and answer the wrong one lol)... just curious how you manage it.

I can almost guarantee my phone will ring when

* I'm on another booking
* I'm having a shower
* I'm on the loo
* I drive away from my incall flat
* I'm at the Gym

I'm sue there are other times, but the days I decide to 'hang around' at the flat for a while nothing, nada, zilch ........ UNTIL like today I drove off, 5 mins down the road phone rang  ::)

I have two phones - one for AW (as well as my website and a couple of other directories that don't do much for me) and one for Vivastreet and Backpage. If that phone rings, I know they're calling from one of those two and I can ask which one they found me on. On my main (aw) phone, if they don't know it was AW it can be a bit of a guess where it came from but it's almost always AW, anyway.

If it was all the same number, there'd be no way of getting them to know where they found me. "Um on the inter webs?" So two phones narrows it down, some. And I don't always use back page. Sometimes I just want to turn off the Vivastreet phone as it can be a bit disheartening to have twenty thickos in a row ask me "how much just for a suck?"

I have a separate number on my AW profile
And I have a different number for my website
I used to have a different number for viva st but since they started allowing you to put a website link I don't bother and just use my website number

however I do put my website on AW so guys will often click through and get my website number

I only use iPhones though so every number I save on one phone syncs to the other one  which is useful

I get a lot if work from viva st ,backpage and my own website as well as AW

You mean that exuberantly-decorated old-fashioned pub on the corner? I love that place! I'd walked past it many times when coming here for gigs and always assumed that it must be dire inside, but was delighted to discover it's as lovely inside as it is out and the staff and clientele are all friendly.

I've never had the food and I didn't realise it was a Weatherspoons.

As it happened, I took a couple of bookings last night. One was a half hour with a guy who sounded absolutely perfect on the phone and was dead easy. The other was an hour with a guy who sounded very sweet. He was a tiny bit odd but it ended up being a great booking and I found him very attractive and sexy. So, I did pretty well for a day that started after 3pm.

You mean that exuberantly-decorated old-fashioned pub on the corner? I love that place! I'd walked past it many times when coming here for gigs and always assumed that it must be dire inside, but was delighted to discover it's as lovely inside as it is out and the staff and clientele are all friendly.

I've never had the food and I didn't realise it was a Weatherspoons.

As it happened, I took a couple of bookings last night. One was a half hour with a guy who sounded absolutely perfect on the phone and was dead easy. The other was an hour with a guy who sounded very sweet. He was a tiny bit odd but it ended up being a great booking and I found him very attractive and sexy. So, I did pretty well for a day that started after 3pm.

Yep. Weatherspoons is my default place to go when touring that and subway for their salad bowls  I always look up a weatherspoons when I'm touring they are one of the few places that as a woman on my own don't mind sitting in on my own and having a drink , i like them because they have a no music policy so you don't have to listen to music you hasted first time round
And the breakfast with the unlimited coffee is a good deal

Well, we're entirely off-topic, here, now. :D

I agree that Weatherspoons are generally good. Some people moan about them killing traditional pubs but one moved into my town centre (a small town) and it has been very popular. The shithole across the street went out of business, as did another shithole a couple hundred metres away. And they both deserved to go out of business. The food isn't great at a Weatherspoons but you know it will be edible and fairly priced. The staff have always been lovely at every Weatherspoons I've visited and they are clean and comfortable.

I didn't realise they have a no-music policy but come to think of it, you're right - they're nice and quiet and pleasant to be in.

Back on topic: my phone isn't off to a busy start today but I have a booking for 12 and I think it will pick up and I'll do OK today.

Everybody knows what I'm going to say, so I'm not going to say it :).

What I will say is spare a thought for the people who are obliged to read everything that's posted whether it's any use to anybody, and maybe also think what those people could have been doing with that time instead of reading the likes of the above.

Yesterday started out dead for me then when work got out I suddenly had back to back appointments until 9pm, a little too close together for comfort for my tastes but it worked out.

Absolutely knackered today now though... just got to push through for one more day!!
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Fabulassie on 07 May 2015, 11:31:08 am
Yesterday was pretty good - barring one no show - but today is not doing much, yet. I was supposed to have an outcall to a nearby hotel this morning. The man booked last night and said that he would text me at 11 or so when he checked in to tell me the room number. I woke up at six as I always do and saw he'd not texted. So I sent a text asking if we were still going to meet. I don't know why I did that as I have a general rule of not really chasing up bookings that haven't confirmed as agreed. Anyway, went to breakfast and came back and saw he'd replied about 45 minutes later saying yes and to please call him when I was at the hotel and he'd meet me in the lobby.

Meanwhile, I realised that I have beginning conjunctivitis and wanted to go to Boots for some eye wash. I hadn't started to get ready, my eye was bugging me, and I don't really have a nice outfit to walk out in - just very casual clothes. I decided it wasn't a good idea to go and apologised, explaining that I assumed he'd changed his mind. Got an angry rant in reply.

He did have bad feedback from someone - a girl he'd called up angry accusing her of stealing his hotel toiletries. Her reply was that she'd used two of the four when she showered and was shocked that he'd called her up to complain. Sounds like an angry nutter so bullet dodged.

Pretty slow for me this week. 2 bookings Tuesday,  1 yesterday and 1 today. Not hitting my targets :( I just try to remind myself when it's shit that I have made more in 1x one hour booking than most civvies do in a day.

I think because we are so used to earning stupid money that even when we still make a good wage compared to the average person we all start to stress.

Busy day yesterday in my area, and once I had seen 4 x 1 hr I thought I'd better get something to eat and an hour's sleep, set the alarm for 7 pm, and slept straight through the night until now! Really? Who needs 12 hours sleep! Missed calls and messages. I could cry - I could really do with the money right now.

Well it has been bloody excellent for me, emails left right and centre. Shame I've had it up on my profile this whole time in bold that I'm away due to exams! Now I have not one but two separate guys trying to get me on the day *before* the day I've announced I'm available, which is the day of my last exam (Tuesday). What is with them? I'm thinking from now on I might strategically say I'm available the day after I'm actually available and watch the requests pouring in. ::)

Meanwhile, I've advertised another couple of days for hotel incalls before I set off for London. Am I getting requests for those? Of course not.  :FF

Thank goodness it's busy at the moment. I don't remember when I last had such a busy week. There are always busy days during quiet weeks, but this last 7 days has been busy every day.

.  I never had available today feauture on my profile as i never seen any point of it. I usually had the odd 1 or 2 days per month when its not that busy but still i managed to get booking during this 2 days, last week was awful only time wasters or people who were asking stupid questions which annoys me a lot knowing they dont bother reading the profile so u wasnt busy due to me not wanting to see them. I might try to use available today to see if ut makes any difference if i dont get busy anytime this week, i have a booking scheduled for later on today tho.

Super busy day as I was offering incalls again, but it was a pretty horrible day full of boundary pushers (none dangerous enough to post warnings about thankfully).

This is why I can't do this full-time. ::) But I made a lot of money, more than I have made the entire time I've escorted so I'm happy and I can officially have a luxurious stay in London*. ;D

Yes I am on loads of sites as well as having my own website, I really think it's my location equaled with only being able to do outcalls.

Maybe if I had paid ads it might have helped but only ever made enough to pay the bills.

Thankfully I do have something else lined up so not going to end up struggling.

I have to agree with this. I worked with a  cracked rib a month ago. The gel did work - and I was sceptical about it. I even Googled it and it seems that scientists are unsure how it works or even if it does but I do know it made a difference to me.

Don't know if it's the case for you guys, but over here (and in some other countries like NL), there are Confirmation "parties" this weekend. In Norway it's pretty much a secular event at this point, and everyone with relatives in the right age group is tied for a day-two. Not to mention the usually expensive gifts. Might be something to do with that.

Totally dead up in here, can't tell if it's because I posted a slightly snarky blog post recently, but the views on my profile have really dwindled so I think it's actually to do with the AW search bugs going around. Either way I welcome silence every now and again, just hope I can fit in another outcall or two before I head off for London.

Meanwhile, time to be looking at new directories I think.  8)

Well, my phone rang.

His voice put me off to begin with when he asked if I'd be available this evening, I told him I was fully booked. Then he said 'I just wanted to come and buy some stockings from you'.

How is it their voice gives away if they are going to be difficult? Who would allow people to come to their house just to buy stockings?

Today is very good glad to be back after the cold doesn't seem to have hindered which is good. Only a few time wasters and one no show knew from the get go so booked another in and was right to do so. I have noticed over the past week an improvment after a few tweakings and this is before my two shoots. So everything is on the up. 😊

Me too, beyond a few idiots who have blatantly not read my profile. I am almost certain it's to do with search bugs and AW crashes, I pay attention to my viewcount as a way of figuring out if my updated blogs/pictures/featuring makes a difference and although none of that has changed and I still update consistently, my average view count per day has dropped significantly. So I definitely think it's to do with not appearing in searches despite paying for the feature. ::) If it wasn't for the fact I'm off to London in a few days, I would start advertising on new directories but I can't be bothered with the faff of being in a different location so I'll wait till I come back.

Still getting ridiculous requests and zero real bookings... looks like we're all feeling it right now.

Someone even sent me a stupidly long message today explaining in detail what he wanted, asking for services I didn't offer and asking how vocal I was, how many orgasms I would have, if I come vaginally/clitorally, if he can hear my voice first, exact location of where he could come - you get the idea lol 0 feedback of course.

Yes, that's right. Me. I paid for available today. Yes, it is true. After all this time spent slandering it. :P Well jokes on you because this doesn't count, I only paid for it because I'm in London. It's probably still shit where I live. ;) But at least I show up on decent spots on searches for my age bracket.

So yep, got a booking today and a potential one later, the money is starting to roll in again! Provided the later one shows, I'll have made enough to cover the London costs all over again, which is super cool as I had already saved. So that covers my August trip then. ;D

The one time I don't check a number on SAAFE. ::) I am seriously so angry with myself, especially as I'm offering incalls today only at an apartment belonging to a sex worker friend of mine and I could have put her in a dangerous position if it was a more dangerous client that I hadn't screened. Seriously too angry to function atm.

She's not been logged into SAAFE for a few weeks now but she may just have gone home for a holiday and can't log on and taken her Aw profile down.

If you send a PM to her she should be notified in her email address attached to SAAFe and will know you are thinking of her.

I love scotland but this weather sucks baw bags big time. My phone has been going crazy the whole week, but I doubt my clients would appreciate me hocking a loogie up all over their willies or bursting into a fit of coughs only to wee myself too :-\

When was this? 

I must live in another Scotland for I dont remember it being THAT bad for a long long time, once since 1968 infact when I slept through it all, or maybe Im just a hardened Scot who takes the weather in my stride. 

The only time I know that weather stopped us working as much and that was a few years back when the snow was really bad but it was worse down south.  We always found ways round it ... well I did anyway.  ;)

According to Wikipedia, it was in December of 2011.

I was living out in Argyll, so it was pretty intense and we got cut off with no leccy for a few days. Grim.

I, too, was in Scotland during Hurricane BawBag. ;D I'm always so surprised by how many Scots/people that have lived in Scotland are here! Don't think I've mentioned it before though, but it was where I was raised.

(This is hideously off-topic though, so..)

Today remained the same, I got another total timewaster but at least this time before he left he handed me some money for my time. I am going to be extra vigilant when in London in future, and also my rates are going way up. ?40 for an hour of social time is just asking for timewaster city, so really I put my own foot in it.

Had a lovely 90 minute booking today. Things are slowly starting to pick up for me and my phone is ringing more, which I'm glad about as other aspects of my life have gotten very busy so if all the buses came at once I'd be a bit frazzled.

No, that's not it at all. There are guys who will look for bargains and guys who care more about quality and can afford ?120 and more.

My phone was quieter than I expected but I just had my best Monday ever so it's still OK.

I don't think so. I know a lot of 90 pounds an hour girls moaning for days while I (who charges more than double) I'm busy as hell. Not always -of course- just like everyone else. Smaller fees don't equal more business (in my experience).

More business= Good marketing skills+good positive attitude towards your job +regular client base + decent organization skills.

If you lack the above you can be charging 30 pounds per hour, look like Angelina Jolie and not be busy.

I found today a bit quiet, but not terrible. Unfortunately, my eyes started to bother me and I can't wear contacts for a few hours so I'm knocking off early. Turned down and hour booking because of it.  >:(

To be honest, my fanny is sore and I'm tired. I just need to find something to amuse myself that doesn't involve looking at a computer screen all night (the cause of my eye problems).

I hope you ladies have all done well today!

I had a regular, and one that when he came he looked kind of weird so i didnt want to go with the booking. As hes been before and caused problems ( used another number to call so couldnt recognise him) ... Other than those 2 i had 2 enquiries and a booking for after 10 days lol  i find today to be quiet as well.

Not great for me in London - this has been a relatively slow week for me. Since the pace hasn't been fast enough to keep me energised, I've declined a booking for this evening so I can go eat. I struggle to stay motivated if I'm not very busy!

Don't it just figure that being poorly means you're busy? I've had 4.5 hours. I had a good dinner and I'm hoping to get one more late night guy before bed but I think they're all time wasters at this time. Missed oodles of calls while I was out for dinner!

I hope London gets busy for my trip next week. I really need a distraction.

My booking today didn't help my mood as he was kinda creepy. Turns out he like white panties because he didn't fuck a student of his back when he taught who flashed her knickers at him and inspected my fanny for a good 5 minutes when he got down there. Took his time with everything then was surprised when we ran out of time before sex.

It's so weird here right now. One day I'm getting 6+ bookings and turning them away and yesterday not a single booking (excluding the two no shows) seems to be one great day then nothing for a couple. It's driving me crazy, can't for the life of me figure out what's happening around here.
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Fabulassie on 05 June 2015, 10:21:29 am
Yesterday ended up being good for me as I got 5 hours and one half hour. today I have three confirmed bookings but there's a half hour very awkwardly parked at 1pm that has meant I've had to turn away about three enquiries for an hour at either 12 or 12:30. I fucking hate half hour bookings at 1pm.

I'm going to be leaving this hotel after my 2:30 booking and I don't know if I'll get anything later as I'm moving across to the City and won't be able to do anything until 5, which is when the City dies on a Friday.

I know it's horrible sitting waiting for the phone to ring, especially when you're nervous AND pressed for dough, but some
days are just like that..
Go out for a walk or something, guaranteed the phone'll start ringing and somebody'll be wanting an appt. asap, the minute
you left, that ALWAYS happens!!  ;)

I'm in Leeds and yes its been pretty hit and miss and more timewasters and no shows than usual.Me and several friends have also had the same no show numbers book us as well.Not sure if something is going on or if its just because of the bank hols and half terms in May.

Central London - shutting the shop early because I've hit my target with 2 x 2 hours, and an easy half hour. Phone quite busy today, in spite of not being featured or 'available today'. Will go out for some baked salmon, vegetables and a glass of wine, then netflix and lights out at midnight. If I have another decent day tomorrow I can breathe easy for the rest of the week.

After an abysmal May where I had to dip into savings I decided to put an add in Viva street. After sifting through the TW, last weekend and the begining of this week have been very good and bookings for the rest of the week. Should be able to top up the emergency fund as well.  :D

I always agreed with this.  We can't even be sure that after sitting around for two hours that a thirty minute booking is actually going to show.  Even if it did it would make the amount we made for that 30 minutes booking only worth 20% of what we actually charged unless in the unlikely event someone else booked in the meantime.  IMO definitely not worth the bother.

For me mainly not, I make sure I have savings so if I do have a shit day I do not have to worry.
I would much rather be doing other things, plenty to be getting on with around the house plus having a child means that sitting around in an Incall placd bored to tears, being unproductive making no money is fairly pointless.
If I was absolutely desperately skint I would stick around I guess, but when it's quiet my motivation goes, and then I get into my head that I am going home! Once I'm home that's it, nothing will make me go back to work :)
And if I had of stuck around for the 30 minutes I would have just been sat in rush hour traffic travelling home-for the sake of a 30 min booking.
Not tempting to me at all.
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Fabulassie on 10 June 2015, 10:18:04 am
I can see it both ways. There is something to be said for clinging on and sticking it out and very likely getting something in the evening. If you need the money it will work. However, if you have the money saved so that you can just go home and do other things that matter to you, that is good, too.
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Lady_Lust_XXX on 10 June 2015, 11:16:06 am
I'm with Louise on this one.  I'd rather be doing something more constructive with myself. 

Even if we need the money it may not work even if we do hang on. 

This is why many get into the habit of putting away a little from each booking for a rainy day that is quiet as well as monies for such things as tax, rent etc
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Siorse on 10 June 2015, 03:38:12 pm
I'm terrible for putting money aside.. I just can't do it  :(  So if i'm low on money I'll make sure I've got phone-top up vouchers
etc, so that at least I can keep working, even if I haven't got a penny to my name..
Having quite a busy day today, it's hot, and I always seem to be busier on hot days, the only thing I hate is the smell of sweat!!
It was bad last summer, luckily my bedroom is quite cool, but even if they've just had a shower they end up sweating after
5 minutes, and some guys odours can linger forever  >:(

I learned the hard way right at the beginning but now most of the time just remind myself of living needs only food water and warmth. But to buy business related things still. I find this helps me save. Then when a slow day comes it doesn't affect my bank balance. I find money worries happens still but touch wood my rent has always been paid on time.

Ebay and amazon are very tempting all the time.

This week it has been utter agony.

I was all prepared for a day off Monday owing to the fact I was busy with my other business - however given the rest of the week despite Available Today sign up on Wednesday I have had nothing but timewasters or people who can't organise themselves to a time and day.

I have booked a photographer to come soon as that will help business as a new photo shoot is needed....

My summer diet was going well from last Saturday until yesterday when I undid the good, as I got doubt about finances.

No doubt the crap phase will finish any day now but it has done nothing for the finances this week!  :(

I went on Viva for the first time in over a year a couple of days ago.Lots of idiots and a few no shows but 2 decent 30 mins in 2 days from it which is more than I have had from AW this week and if you compare it to paying for available today every day its cheaper.Have also tried backpage today so fingers crossed that might be alright too.Its been hard going this week overall though for some reason.
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Vichyssoise on 11 June 2015, 02:35:02 pm
I have been pleasantly surprised by Viva street after reading some remarks about it, and yes there have been more than the usual dross phoning. But I have had four one hour bookings and a half hour, which I don't normaly do but was a late appointment so did it. So it well paid for itself. No emails from AW but the phone calls have been steady resulting in more bookings. All in all a very good move. Tomorrow only one booked in but I usually get a call from a reg so hopefully he won't let me down.

I had a two-hour booking but was hungry and tired after, so went out for lunch, shopping, eyebrow threading... came back to see I'd missed six calls!

I am not that bothered. Since I've started touring every other week I am pretty lazy at home, just working enough to pay for my flat. I should get rid of the flat!

Post by: Lushblossom on 11 June 2015, 04:18:20 pm
Well guess what after deciding to take a further compulsory day off owing to no business and relax I got an email booking enquiry on AW but it was too late to see to it by the time I read it.

I've made a bit over the overheads so it's all good, but I am bloody pissed off as I need decent money to justify paying for a London hotel in under a fortnight. :( Just accepted a booking from someone I just know is going to be a moany piece of work because I'm desperate to reach my target.

I've signed up to Vivastreet which is the first Google result in my area.

Here's hoping this brings good things and I hit my target by this time tomorrow.

when they can get away from work" etc.
Thinking that I'm just sitting here available any time they want, not trying to juggle 3 guys all wanting a booking but not
sure when until 5 mins before they want to book, and then they're surprised I can't see them at that time!!  >:(

Eh, I barely bothered to update my profile so it's been quiet but it was semi deliberate. I lost two really lucrative bookings this week thanks to my fucking period so I was pissed off, but a booking today with someone I've seen before. Off to London tomorrow for the big protest and then I'm working for a few days after (if I'm not arrested ::) ). Getting a hell of a lot of interest for LDN but I just know the majority will cancel. I've shortened the time I leave inbetween bookings slightly in a bid to make the trip more worthwhile, but I might be stressing myself out too much if I get fully booked. We'll see.

Off topic here but just wanted to say WELL DONE for going on the protest tomorrow and hope it all goes smoothly.  I've heard awful stories of people being kettled unecesssarily but you have my thumbs up.  :)

Wow, finally read how everyone elses weeks' been.

The news from Dundee is, not 1 booking!  Well I had a no-show.  The start of the week is normally quiet so I went to Edinburgh, stayed in the old town which didn't work, but I got 2 bookings which covered my costs and made a little.

I think it's everyone holding onto cash for holidays.  So thinking about doing a night in Aberdeen and a night in London next week.  Dire!

I've had yet anohter break as well lol, took a few days off, but really need to pull my socks up and get back in the swing of it!!
It's just been dead lately and that's when I loose my motivation, get lazy, get up late, and then not bother at all..
Got bills and direct debit's coming up so tomorrow I'm gonna go for it, giving myself a kick up the backside and get to work!!  ;)

I've decided to tour due to this however I've worked with predominately Muslim gents and I find that after week two it picks up again and just before eid it slows down.

Hardly a damn thing today! I've had four phone calls since 10am: one was someone I've saved as "idiot." One was a withheld number. One was an inquiry about later in the week. One was someone in another city who wants me to tour there (and is also now saved as "idiot" because he's an idiot.) I did get a text off a regular who may be coming by this afternoon but he wants to chitchat via texts and I'm not doing that.

I tour London this weekend and only have 1 definite booking so far  :( I'm worrying I won't make anything from this trip. WHERE ARE THE MEN AT??!

Wow i actually thought of doing the same just to top up my earnings and get out more often to meet people. It hasnt been that slow to make me look for a part time job but considering 2 month ago the earnings i had compared to this month are a bit low. I think if you can find the time for a part time job and not rely on escorting soley then you dont have to worry that much. I hope you get the job x

I'm in Surrey, it hasn't been this quiet for me in a long time.  Really anticipating it picking up soon.  It always does.  Trying to keep myself preoccupied with other things until it does!  But I have to confess, it is starting to frustrate me.  The little niggles of impatience and worry are beginning to increase. Hoping it'll pick up before the niggles get any worse lol

Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?

My main base is in Reading and there are a lot of girls in my area,
My work was really up and down one day dead and one day really busy, got fed up of waiting around and typically as I would give up for the day, then the calls would come in.

So now I am touring and honestly going to different areas has been really good. Made my earnings that I would make in a week in a couple of days. I definitely wouldn't have made it if I stayed at home.
Having an overhead cost also seems to make me work harder and stick around for that little bit longer as when I am at home I see maybe 1 or 2 and think that's enough and then turn down other bookings.
I haven't even had any calls for my main base really, from new clients at least, Only one or two in 2 weeks. That's how quiet it has been.
I really do recommend trying touring out, as it's very unlikely that  you won't cover at least your room/hotel cost.

Also back page and viva street have been good for me.
Try and get yourself on all the websites on first page of Google as there are guys who haven't heard of aw xx

Because now there are at least triple the amount of women working, which basically means more competition and the need to advertise in multiple places.

I used to love phone box cards. The internet is good at fulfilling demand, but it has to be there in the first place. Tart cards actually CREATED demand. Guys would walk past phone boxes, not even thinking of punting, and get drawn in by the cards. Next thing they were staggering into the nearest basement flat. Perfect. In those days, 10 a day was normal for me, with a half hour minimum.

Only just started escorting, so can't really comment much on that as I'm only taking bookings for now and had a few. For my phone chat/IM it's been busy for me which I find so weird and gone over my target most days. Alongside that, I've been on AW for 3 years now and never in my time have I sold a private gallery every day, but this has happened every day for 3 weeks now, ever since I offered escorting again which is weird as I've had escorting on before and this has never happened. I'm not complaining though  8)  ::)

That is so true. You need to plant the idea in their head. That's why it's easy finding prospects in hotel bars.

Last week was non existent for me, plenty timewasters and cancellations to the point I wanted to cry, but this week seems to have seriously perked up, 4 outcall bookings in 4 consecutive days, just came back from my third one and I'm totally fucked! I'm worn out! 1 more to go tomorrow then I can rest as I have a holiday booked for early July then I can relax!

Kudos to you girls who escort 5 days a week, I just can't do it! I have aches from all the different positions and could seriously do with a whole day in bed with some haribos lol!  ;D

After a week or so of scrapping by and putting up with time wasters galore it finally picks up in the east counties for me (and sods law says I have the gardeners in 2 till 6 today so no bookings for me aside from a 12 and a 6.30. ).
 Did find out some guys are having the same notification issues as us with aw, my over night booking last night claims notifications are not going through and couple other complains lately about aw. Wonder if why some of us are having issues with it being so slow.

Loot filled in the quiet times when AW and regulars were not booking. Obviously the price on Loot is best for ?110 and under, I don't recommend this for everyone. And you need to vet clients like there's no tomorrow, eg asking the right screening questions and sending them to a street corner when they arrive. Don't give out your full address etc

Today got off to a great start in London - and then the phone went quiet in the mid afternoon and never came back. Furthermore, all three bookings for the evening cancelled/didn't make the confirmation text so tonight looks like it may be a wash. Trying to keep myself in the frame of mind necessary should the phone ring for the evening.

I think my friend saw him once and he had a broken nose or something from an aggressive face sitting session! He just sounded like a bloody pain, if he had said Harvey Knicks and not morrisons I might of listened. I have an hour booked in on the evening, going to go green tomorrow see if it helps.

It's eerily quiet here in the City. Thought that the extreme heat had made things a bit slow yesterday but today, now that it's cooled off a bit, it's just dead. In fact, it dawned on me that my only calls were coming from guys who had already contacted me this week OR guys who had found me somewhere else on the Internet (like an old Backpage advert) and thought I was in another city. So I went to check AW to see if everything is alright and it is - I'm showing just as I'm meant to.

It's eerily quiet here in the City. Thought that the extreme heat had made things a bit slow yesterday but today, now that it's cooled off a bit, it's just dead. In fact, it dawned on me that my only calls were coming from guys who had already contacted me this week OR guys who had found me somewhere else on the Internet (like an old Backpage advert) and thought I was in another city. So I went to check AW to see if everything is alright and it is - I'm showing just as I'm meant to.

Usually about now there's a flurry of calls inquiring about lunch hour.

Between 9-11ish is when I get my flurry of calla too, had one call and he tried to get phone sex out of me.

My "flurry" turned out to be one call. At least he doesn't seem to be a wanker or waster so looks like I got a booking.

A couple of clients have said the hot weather makes them horny  :) but personally whether it rains or shines I also find no difference at all in bookings, only perhaps with heavy snow of course. I've been fairly busy this week and have a super big fan which does keep us cool as I was worried about the heat as my room's boiling.  Lately though I've been battling with food moths and as they fly around at night I have to catch them so I've been napping during the day and missing quite a few daytime bookings. Driving me literally crazy but I've had quite a few late afternoon/evenings lately.

As its sunday snd i dont normally work on sundays i decided to try the available today and it did make a difference - calls wise. I did wake up a bit late so i missed 3 potential apps im not sure if they would have all turned up but they all wanted the same time and i wasnt ready atm. So far i had a regular and new booking, i need two more for today and im done!
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Fabulassie on 05 July 2015, 04:31:56 pm
I almost never work Sundays. So, today has been OK. I've done two half hours and one hour. May do another hour later.

I put an ad on Vivastreet last night and got a booking. I actually got several calls and one booked but I thought he may be a no show so I went ahead and double-booked that time (I have advance confirmation requirements so I knew I could manage to shift one if they both confirmed.)

One booking and I knew he wasn't my type of client.
But I was passing my working flat so popped in.
For some reason I took a photo of his face on the intercom.
Just for future reference.

He came in, made an excuse and left.

I had a client last week who works for the Underground. He was in favour of the strike, although also in favour of the added night services. I guess they just don't like the way management is going about it.

This is probably a good day to take off work if you're in central London.
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: tigerlily on 08 July 2015, 08:35:06 am
Haha, that came off harsh. I have nothing against the strike, but it's awful timing with my schedule.

On the other hand, it may be a great time to advertise locally and suggest a pre-booking walk!
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: amy on 08 July 2015, 08:37:45 am
It's also worth remembering that a lot of people don't use the Underground, especially in summer - I don't unless I've got no choice. The buses and cabs will all still be there, and people who work nearby and can't travel far will want somebody they can walk to :).
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Kay on 08 July 2015, 11:01:04 am
A lot of people will work from home though, if at all possible.

Post by: nachos on 08 July 2015, 11:32:39 am
Most definitely. As buses will be absolutely packed  and near impossible to get on, during the rush hour especially.
Most people would try to cycle/walk to work, or just work from home.

Then the ladies who live/work further out might benefit instead.

I was in Victoria last week when it was hot, and I don't think a single punter got to me on the underground. It did mean cancelling one who hadn't bothering thinking where to park and was half an hour late (at last check) because he then couldn't find anywhere, but such is life.

It might well put off the any-holes-a-goal opportunists, but in my experience if punters really want to see you they're perfectly capable of organising themselves :).

I was there the same week and I don't think there were too many Tube riders for me, either. But, then, I was in the City where most clients will walk from their office.

Ditto Victoria. People visiting at short notice were generally walking from less than 15 minutes away, along with a few who'd come off a regular train or the Gatwick Express.

If it's central London, you're never going to be far from punters (and vice versa) :).
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Kay on 08 July 2015, 01:46:12 pm
It's just from experience (17 years commuting into Zone 1), whenever there's a tube strike the vast majority of people try to avoid coming into the office, unless they can walk or bike it. It can have a knock-on effect on overground train services if there are shared lines, the buses are heaving, etc. so most seasoned commuters just don't even try.

But on the other hand, ladies in commuter belt towns might benefit with those who are 'working from home'.  :D

I've been in London before when there's been a Tube strike and whilst it meant a few cancellations from people who couldn't make it, all of them were eventually replaced by people who could :). I realise I should know better than to try and bring optimism and pragmatism to our main whinge thread :D but I suspect there's no shortage of people here who wouldn't complain too much about only having a potential hundred thousand punters in their locale rather than half a million, or whatever.

Hey guys. I have been escorting on and off now for nearly four years. In the last few months I have found it EXTREMELY hard to make any decent money  :FF. I hardly get any bookings where I live (I work from home) cuz, understandably, I've been here a while and guys are probably bored of me!

However, even when I've been on tour very recently (in the last two months or so) I have hardly been making enough to cover my costs. So I guess the question is...IS IT ME OR IS THE ESCORT INDUSTRY AS A WHOLE IN DECLINE??

Any feedback and suggestions gratefully received! I don't expect loads of replies as to where is the best location for work and I know how to advertise on AW to get the most traffic possible. Just wondering really if anyone is experiencing a real decrease in bookings or is it just me?

Thanks :)

Well if you read the rest of the thread (or a bit of it at least) you can see that most people have quiet spells and have since 2008 when the first posts are.

If you've been on your home base for a while and not finding you're building up a good base of regulars (which is definitely what keeps me going when I'm at home if it's otherwise a bit quiet), are there reasons that could be? Have you got limited working hours for example?

Touring is always a gamble anyway, but there's plenty of advice on advertising and so on in the separate section. Some places are better than others, but a lot of people seem to be finding it's not what it was, particularly in places like Ireland. I got tired of it after six/seven years of being away half the month and got myself a work flat instead, and I do think it's good to reassess the way you're doing things once or twice a year or so.

I built myself a new website recently and that definitely brought a few punters I hadn't seen in years back out of the woodwork, so maybe have a think about that? :)

My numbers have held up quite well, but I think that is mainly because I have a high proportion of regulars. Overall there is more competition, but also I think there are less men looking for escorts than there were. Why this is I'm not sure. The Internet is supposed to make things easier, but for that to work the punters have to be actively looking and know where to look.

I agree Grapes
Never had a slow day with cards, never less than 5 men a day.
The men were walking in the area, ready to spurt and knew we were local.

Sadly illegal for over a decade, doubt the police waste their time tracing them back to the escorts though I wouldn't risk it when we can advertise legally online.
Get a website, on every directory, new photos and update ads loads.. Better than the police at your door and ending up with a hefty fine. ;D

There were still plenty in the phone boxes around the British Museum last time I passed, as well as the Cromwell road ones, although it's not my turf and it's probably a couple of years ago.

For those of us outside London/larger cities they weren't something we ever saw or used anyway - that's what newspaper ads were for, although there was the odd ad in newsagent windows. Somehow we managed to struggle on without ever having them :).

Get a website, on every directory, new photos and update ads loads.. Better than the police at your door and ending up with a hefty fine. ;)

I believe 'carding' is the offence.
(Criminal Justice &  Police Act 2001, S46)
'Placing of advertisement relating to prostitution...in a public place.'

Being the 'mouth-watering siren', referred to on the card, is not an offence.
Unfortunately, still waiting for hunky coppers to knock on my door... mmm ! ;D

Card-boys take prosecution on the chin...pay the fines, no big deal.

Tart card started out as discreet postcard sized ads in newsagents' windows, advertising along the lines of "large mahogany chest for sale", "French and Greek lessons","A-level tuition" and such like. Unoffensive to kids, tourists, and country bumpkins of a nervous disposition. Then the police went round the newsagent in an attempt to put a stop to the ads, threatening with prosecutions for 'living off immoral earnings', which was still an offense in those days, or simply threatened to report them to the Inland Revenue. Tarts maids would have to go around London once a month, and pay for the ads for the next 4 weeks upfront, in cash. Some paper shops had as many as 100 - 120 cards in the window, a tidy tax free income.

So the shops would no longer take the cards, and a new way of advertising had to be found. Stickers on parking meters were trialled and dismissed. Men couldn't discreetly remove the sticker or make a note of the number. Then somebody hit on phone boxes. Once the guys were inside, they could simply pick up the phone, and start dialling, and it was not immediately obvious what they were doing. That was before the mobile phone, of course. Once everybody had a mobile, there were only two reasons for a man to be in a phone box: to pee or to phone a prostitute.

There was a lot of competition, so some bright spark thought of using pictures instead of just text, and that's when the whole thing became offensive to some. Having tits and ass at eye level all over Central London was not everybody's ideal. All kinds of people started to remove them: feminists, cops, BT employees, the fledgling priests of the Brompton Oratory before Sunday Mass, little old ladies, the dirty Mac brigade who collected the things - ah, happy days!

I'm often tempted to start carding again, writing only, no pictures, like in the olden days. Quite a few parlours in Central London are carding again, but it's not so much of a problem any more, since a lot of phone boxes have been removed, so there are not many left. The only thing to be careful of is not to have them on the premises. Once you start carding, the police will come eventually and search your premises, so always collect the cards from the printers and hand them straight over to the carders - never keep the boxes in the kitchen cupboard.

Getting waaay off topic. Real rubbish weekend. New Vivastreet ad out, and I had a huge call volume of complete numpties, and not a single booking from them. Better luck next week, when the normal guys come out to play again.

Oh I know that feeling, had one today for 1pm, no client, texted him at 1.15 - "I assume you have no intention of showing?" 1.20 he texted back saying "am lost huny will be there in 5 minutes". 

Thought to myself I am so fedup with them thinking it is ok to treat me this way.  So texted him back saying sorry but I have other appointments and will not be able to see him.  He called me 10min later saying he was in the road he only wanted 30mins, told him very politely to take a hike.

I am not going to allow clients to walk over me anymore, enough is enough.  You do not waste my time and think you can get away with it.  Had a few like that today who were no shows a few months back and a walk out who wanted to book me with apparently full intentions of showing up, just ignored them.

I was out shopping and someone called to arrange for 6pm, first booking. Then it cuts off, so I?m tutting thinking he?s hung up then realised the battery had run out on my phone. He must?ve thought I didn?t like the sound of him but I did. Got home about 45 mins later and charging but I don?t feel comfortable texting someone too long afterwards. My other work phone which is much older, the battery lasts so much longer. All my older phones did.

Does anyone know who does the websites please? I want to get one done soon, after 4.5 years.

Scottish schools have been off for three weeks+ so far.  They return on or around 18 August.  I'm sure everyone, as well as the mothers will be relieved. 

However this weekend is the start of the Glasgow Fair so could be a quieter couple of weeks.

Good luck everyone.

I mean asking the wrong questions like "Are you alone" etcetc. My phones arn't even this busy on good days O.o so it's egsausting having to chat to these men even if it's just a split second to say no.

On the plus side the house got tidyied haha, hopefully today isn't a forcast of the holidays to come. My holidays were ok last year and if I remember, I wasn't really advertising. I'm sure there are a few stray ads I can update and pay for that i've left

I thought, phone was busy all day, and despite a lot of timewasters I got 2x 1hr booking, a half hr and a quickie, which is
not bad for a bank holiday Monday in the middle of the month (and the summer hols!)  :)

Girls, you just have to stay positive and keep on at the marketing/PR/updating profiles/photos etc. 

Whilst in some ways this thread may be helpful to some, I often wonder if it's detrimental at times as those that are not busy can feel demoralized by others talking about how busy they are which personally I deem to be a tad insensitive, but again this is my personal opinion. 

You simply cannot compare one to another and a lot of the time in this job, it's pure luck!   It's the luck of the draw if that client found you on that site, or if your details popped up first in a search etc etc.  It's luck that you come up on a search, it's luck that he chose you over the next girl.......

However, it's not just luck it's also constant advertising and constantly keeping an eye on your own profile, your own website, your own photos and your own business etc. 

I've been in my area for years and some clients tell me they've never seen my details on aw!   

So, just keep staying positive girls and do what you think works best for you but my honest opinion is that you have to keep on checking your profile, checking your website and working hard at your advertising and focus on that and that alone.

All the best

I totally agree. With the past few weeks being stressful for me, i have not been keeping on top of things and the phone has been a lot quieter than usual. It can be hard to motivate yourself to keep adding pics etc x

Yes it's true.  When we go through stressful times of course it affects us and then it can affect our whole wellbeing and I know as I've been there.  It's like a catch 22 situation.  Work is quiet, you feel crap but the last thing you feel like doing is getting on with your PR etc and the motivation sinks.

So what I do sometimes is say to myself right tomorrow is D Day.  I'm going to start first thing, say write a blog, or do some pics (all mine are done with self timer on camera by me.......) and start first thing in the morning and then add to my profile or upload pics or bid on reverse bookings and even that can at least create some interest and then in turn that motivates you to carry on! 

I know it's hard as in effect we're all working for ourselves and it does take some discipline and believe me there have been days when I know I should have worked on my business but instead I've zoned out, so it's all about motivation and discipline and maybe setting yourself a target or writing a list and saying right ... Today I will make sure I tick off at least one thing on my to do list! 

Good luck and if it hasn't happened today then think to yourself, right tomorrow I'm onto it!

The thread is about slow or is it just me  ;D it's usefull I find to see what others are doing why some people are busier than others  but that can be down to location prices services,  hours worked it's to variable

Even just changing the main three pictures around makes a difference ( IMO) I did that last week and its made a big difference in bookings to the previous week
Touring helps
blog once a week or so
I took some advice off a lady who is on here recently as well and that has made a big difference as well as stuff that I didn't even realise I coukd do and I've been on aw for 7 years +++

Changing little things often  can all help

Perhaps someone could start a new thread along the lines of how they enhanced their profile and how it helps, that's if it isn't there already and I've missed it.

I do agree with the others when they say it is demoralising or soul destroying when things aren't going well and someone comes along and says "oh I did great today" ... did six bookings and earned 1k. It's good to encourage others but not at the expense of others feelings.

We are all here to help each other.

I completely disagree with this because the title of this thread means that girls can come here to find out if it's slow AND busy. If it was all depressing 'the phone hasn't rung all week' posts now that is demoralising and demotivating. I like to read how well girls are doing when I feel I'm doing badly because it means I stick out the quieter times and remember that rocking 1k day will come around again if I'm patient.

As with every thread on this forum people don't have to read it if they feel it will be detrimental to their mental health or business.

I like LL's idea as that is beneficial to everyone who wants to further better their business. I've always looked up to ParisB and how she runs her business so if she can still find ways to improve her bottom line then an 'improvement' thread is a fantastic idea in my opinion.

I used to switch on my phone at 9am and start my working day at 10am.
I now advertise "Early Bird" appointments and during a five day tour I generally see an extra four or five people all coming between 7.30am - 10am.

Most of these bookings are made the previous evening, with a text to confirm early in the morning.
I'm amazed at the number of men who want to visit on their way to work and I'm even more amazed at the lack of early morning time wasters.

It takes a bit more organising to be ready early, but well worth it.

Perhaps someone could start a new thread along the lines of how they enhanced their profile and how it helps, that's if it isn't there already and I've missed it.

I do agree with the others when they say it is demoralising or soul destroying when things aren't going well and someone comes along and says "oh I did great today" ... did six bookings and earned 1k. It's good to encourage others but not at the expense of others feelings.

We are all here to help each other.

I agree with this. I do think it's nice sometimes to pop in and say, "Things are picking up around here, finally." Because that can give others a bit of hope that things will get better for them, as well.

This thread has been going since 2008  I think it's been busy , slow. ,dead, dying died a death and recovered from open heart surgery in that period, any longer and it could qualify for as a soap opera

The one thing been that's consistent over the years  is that ibusiness is up and down like a guys dick  ;D

I did a tour last month  3 days in one place. 2 days in another
Day 1 did 1 but that was my fault as I arrived late
Day 2 did 7
Day 3 did 5
Phone was busy & consistent

Moved to a different area did 3 regs in two days phone was dead, everyone wanted to see me on the Monday when I wasn't there

I've given up analysing it as  it hurts my head

I think that's a good idea too, as whilst there's tips all over the forum there isn't really one single thread with first hand accounts of what people did and what happened (without links, obviously). Where it doesn't belong is in here, as anything useful soon gets buried and most people will miss it altogether.

As Paris says above, this thread came into being in 2008 after we got fed up with people constantly starting a new one to moan about how their phone hadn't rung for a couple of hours (I think there were six or seven on the front page at one time) and merged them together - it's a repository and somewhere for a moan, and that's all.

It's Sticked at the top of the board :).

The problem with advertising/profile tips is that everybody's different and it needs to be very general - we're not all after the same sorts of punters or bookings and what works for me might not work for others (and vice versa).

It also needs to be not obsessed with Adultwork unless it's going in the Adultwork section - we have enough people who think the universe revolves around one site as it is.

My birthday soon too. ;D Happy birthday!

Been slow for me in the sense that I haven't been working at all because I went abroad for a few days and got bitten to death (of sorts) by mosquitos. They're only just starting to heal but I was due to start my London tour today. Off to see family and so on for the next little while so I'm only back to work in London around the 9th of August, my birthday being on the 11th, which also marks a year since I made my profile. What a year it's been.  :D

Mine was 9th July too! Twins! Hahaha. I went on holiday for mine and came back on July 16th but had an injury to my leg and back from riding a quad and getting in a crash on holiday so had to rest up and im still recovering now although I can walk!

The thing is I state I'm away on my profile yet I'm still getting emails asking if I'm free that day it's so annoying! I can guarantee when I'm back working again I'll get fuck all for a few days... Typical!

During this tome i had other enquiries for the same timing but turned them down as i thought this 2 will show up!?.. Anyway i still cant figure a way how to make sure the client will turn up for sure.. I ask them to call at least 30min before to confirm but sometimes even then they dont turn up..

Pair of jobs on the trot.
One is a regular who I shall ban as gone off him.

I don't generally work Friday so it's welcome.
Lots of 'text loosers' who failed the grade past few weeks....huge increase.
But several turned out fine.

Finally picked up in the South East was starting to worry there. I've had enough of making my target in a few days, I want a steady stream of clients throughout the week. 3-4 hours a day would be much better than longer bookings on less days. Same amount of money but annoying having quiet days waiting for it!

I mentioned on another thread that since paying for a month long ad on VS I received a ton of page views and some emails, but not one booking out of it.
And today is the first day since registering on AW in May that not one guy has emailed me. I expected interest in a new girl to taper off but as quick as this? Has anyone else had this when they first started on AW?

Well it is 'factory fortnight' here in this region as it is quite an industrialised area so that makes it quiet, plus the first two weeks of school summer holiday which doesn't help matters either.

Nothing Friday and nothing Saturday which is very unusual.

I am hoping I will get a trickle the next two weeks however and then it will pick up somewhat.

Fingers crossed! ;)

It is a very very quiet time for me. I don't know what I am doing wrong I had no bookings for 9 days already. I used to see 3 clients a week before, then had a break for couple of months and returned to see a regular and one new guy. Since then nothing... I advertise on AW(not showing mobile though), put some new pics over two weeks, paid for punternet ad (not one email), Pleasure to meet you(same), back page free ad to test waters (One Timewaster emailed), Eros dating for arrangement... Even announced an I call tour and 3out of 4 potential bookings were TW.
I don't know what's wrong I really must get back there to pay off my credit cards etc.. HELP!

A busy week for me would be five clients, so it might not be saying much, but the past week was definitely better for me: even the bookings that didn't come to fruition seemed to be from more genuine men. Fingers crossed this one will be OK too. Sod's law I'm busy in my other work, so will be burning the midnight oil!

I'm the same. Few time waster calls, one actually made a booking but I knew he would be a no show so I didn't even put my makeup on.

Just had a quickie oral session with a builder from up the road. He rang and said he was on tea break and can I do NOW, I said if you're willing to take me as I am with no makeup on, he didn't care so long as i can give a decent blow job haha.

I came down to London after the hell of only a 30 min booking in Glasgow last week (3 no shows!), arrived this morning and back tomorrow night, just had an hour booking (hotel paid for!) and despite putting myself on 3 other sites and doing my own website, it's dead, so off for dinner with a mate instead!  Might as well enjoy myself.  Amazing view of Tower of London though, so not all bad!

I don't know what i'm doing wrong but the last few weeks it's been hell trying to make anything really.  I changed all my pics too.  Roll on September.

Actually I bet you the girls in Ashford, Folkestone and Dover are more than likely rushed off their feet with all the truck drivers stuck there for days.

I've not done too bad. Had busier days but can't complain to say i started at 1.15 and finished at 6.15. Done a 1.5hour, an hour and a 30min. Tons of TWs phoning, hopefully tomorrow's decent.

I've been busy today because I put on cheap quickies. I had to turn a few away due to being busy or needing to go for a lunch break and I'm too tired to continue tonight.  Not all of my clients were quickies but there were a couple and they helped fill the time. I also had two halves and a two-hour so I felt busy and I'm happy about my day. It's good because I've been really unmotivated and feeling burnt-out.

I hope tomorrow is decent as well. I just want to have a bit of money for the weekend before I go off on tour.

When I arrived at my parlour there was only one appointment for me, but later on there were calls and still did 3,5 hours. Had to turn away a few who wanted at times when I was busy already.
Still, it's ok today. But when I'm thinking that I only get 40% and my dungeon the other 60%, I feel as if I've worked for next to nothing

That's shit! Why you gotta give them 60%?

It's because they 'charge' for room rent as well. For every 195,- euros they charge the customer, I get 60 euros, but then my taxes are paid by them. Its a Dutch arrangement called opting in. But it's really getting to me that in 2 hours of indie work I earn the same as a good day of work at my parlour. Still too hesitant to go fully independent because of regulations

Yeah, Kent/Maidstone are in the Southeast of England. I had no idea that there was such a severe problem with traffic that it affected everybody else as well.

As far as I know yes ( my sense of geography is pretty crap  ;D) I was supposed to be in maidstone this week but I cancelled on the advice of a friend who warned me about this road block
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Fabulassie on 30 July 2015, 10:32:00 pm
From what I've seen, Operation Stack starts at about Junction 8 on the M20 and Maidstone is at Junction 7, but I'm sure there's quite a knock-on effect and travel in general through the region is really slowed down.

Hey just jumping in here is anybody in Glasgow? I've had the worst week since I started, it's been dead. To be honest is been quieter the last few weeks. I thought maybe it's the school holidays? as my credits are going up fast from private galleries movies etc..

It's the last week of the Glasgow  Fair holiday. With payday and guys going back to work and thus having an excuse to disappear for a bit, it may pick up next week.

I've been a bit like that this week - last week was so busy I took Monday off because I was frazzled, found on Tuesday I still couldn't be arsed then whilst Wednesday and yesterday were fine I can't be bothered again today and I'm forcing myself to answer the phone. I've got one more half hour one coming at half past then I think I'm going to sack it and go home :).

Not just me feeling unmotivated then lol. I've just had a call from someone wanting a 30min in 15mins time. Took me everything to want me to say "yes ok". Just got no motivation as it's been 2 hours of sitting around since my last booking.

Telling me what hours i should and shouldnt work and that he is working and cant see me coz im finishing too early and dont work night time ... Wtf !? Plenty more to see if he decides but nooo he had to call and spoil my mood for today!  :FF he actually thought girls who dont work until late night are fake profiles ... Jesus !

I think I just maybe have a touch of the burnouts which isn't like me really.Anyway I've supposedly got someone round in a few mins.I am hoping he is nice.I usually find a nice client sort of pulls me round and gets me back in the zone as it were.

Fingers crossed he's nice cause the guy I've just seen made me feel physically sick. Takes a lot to repulse me but this guy made my skin crawl :( He reeked of sweat even after a shower, he was a really big guy with warts on his arse. My room stinks now :( I literally felt sick when he was kissing me and it takes a lot for me to feel like that! He's shed hair everywhere too. Ugh, just 2 more bookings to go then a nice hot soak for me. Literally cannot come quick enough!

Ssme here, time wasters and enquiries for later in the week but nothing for today, taking the chance to snooze off some tummy bug and watch netflix while answering moronic messages and calls, praying for a genuine one. 

 I'd hate to be on tour when it's this quiet! Luckily I have long bookings from reliables booked in most of the next couple days but other than that it's like a graveyard last couple months.
Green light usually only helps me at lunch time and after work for me so don't lose hope yet! Hope it picks up for ya'll.

Yeah very true Flyffy Bunny, it was actually not a bad day at all with it being the summer hols and that, it just seemed like a shit day coz I had a lot of TW's, mind changers, a no show and a cancellation..
But if I get the same again (bookings, not the TW's etc.lol), I'd be quite happy.. :)

Got back yesterday from my first tour of duty, which was 50/50 I did ok the first couple of days then it just died a death. Still it was a working holiday so just holidayed the remaining days. Since getting back I am booked solid, will make my money for this week and some. Mostly regs and those who have been trying to book for some time. I will be surprised if any are no shows.

I would love to tour Dublin with some one this year pm me if interested please.   I get a mixture of newbies and regs. I like to cross examine business  if there is any way to improve.  Believe being successful and like magic.  Xx.

I could be moderately busy today - I've had calls but I realised that I just am not feeling it. Got my period and I'm feeling crampy. I've cancelled a booking for later and turned a couple away. Told them why, too (although I said I'd just come on) and one guy asked if I'd reconsider as he's only looking for anal. The mere thought only intensifies the cramps!

Hmmm... I think it's beer o'clock!

Deader than a Catholic priest's dick (well, most of them anyway ;)).

I'm on the mini pill and have a period about every 23 or 24 days which I've got used to but every few months I have one just a week after the last one finishes and I don't like the sponge for full sex so all week I could only offer other services and got a few but most wanted more so yesterday was the first clear day and I had a 15 min. Oh well, I work late so maybe later.

Getting calls for a 500 pound job from category of client
I don't allow. And now a 4 hour job at posh hotel with dinner
beforehand....I refused the meal and he slams down phone.
Ego made out of eggshells perhaps.

Everything was going fine and  ticking over very nicely for a good while until this week, suddenly no late night calls 2 word texts for me to wake up to for past two nights and daytimes I've had calls in the majority from obvious TW's or guys I'm not interesting in booking so I've decided I'm taking a few days to myself and getting on with other jobs I need to do around the house.
Last weekend when out shopping I noticed the shops and roads were very quiet that and the school holidays tells me most clients are either back off hols and are broke, about to go on hols and don't have the funds to spare or are actually on hols.
School holidays are an occupational rollercoster.
Roll on September.

If it wasn't for a big booking last night which was arranged 2 weeks ago I would of been f**c^ed this past week and not literally! a lot of weirdos and 4 worded emails from either time wasters who want me to meet them in their car or avid punters that  know August is typically slow for the WG so try to negotiate a lower hourly rate or extra time.

However don't fret too much. I've asked a few people from other industries what business is like  and they all tend to agree that August pretty much sucks balls. However according to them the forecast for September should  be raining money!!!........ so just two weeks to go now!

I have been quiet this month, haven't reached target most days.
Had a couple of 2hour bookings, nothing substantial. No Timewaster calls or messages then you know it really is quiet.
Bookings are all over the place and I don't have the patience to wait around for hours for one extra booking.
Taking majority of the month off  from Friday as my birthday next week  :)
August is normally a bit rubbish whatever location I'm in, will pick up after summer holidays though.

Third cancellation in a row this week for me, and I had already paid for hotel room for a 2 hr,plus childcare.. Gutted!
Yes loads of hagglers too!
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: victoryrose on 13 August 2015, 02:40:38 pm
Quiet-ish, as per when I'm quiet it's entirely my own fault because I've written on my profile that I have extremely limited availability which is true. I have three (yep) tours planned in September before uni starts at the very last week because I had to cancel my massive London plans this month due to a friend's total incompetence in hosting my accommodation. Plus I've had a bunch of illness and stupid shit go on which has completely wrecked me money wise, I've sunk back down to my target bank account balance. Which will shoot up when the student loan gets here in under two months but still, a bitch has got to prepare her savings when she's going to Iceland this Christmas.

Yes that's right. Birthday present to myself. ;D Along with those luxury brushes I bought... and ?100 on MAC makeup...

Okay so there's not one reason why my bank balance has sunk. :( Retail therapy, am I right?

But from what you're all saying it seems slow anyway so whatever, missing August isn't the worst thing ever. Got a couple of outcalls planned but I'm not honestly too bothered about them. A few have cancelled on me too.

this is the worst week i've ever had. i have just had 4 weeks off and smugly assumed i'd be so busy that there'd be steam coming out... one yesterday for 15 min. one today who has still not shown and is now "late". phone rang 3 times all day :(

Post by: ParisB on 13 August 2015, 03:14:20 pm
It's typical
Yesterday as I did the rd trip from hell (4.5 hours driving ) my phone did not stop ringing all the way up
  I managed  to do 4 bookings when I arrived and phone was still very busy when I went to bed  before I fell asleep in my stockings
Today when I am a fully functional human being and ready to work phone is deader than a graveyard and have done 1 so far , hopefully it will improve but I'm think not

Been what I call relatively slow this week. Still making target but having to work much harder than is necessary for it. Going away next month so hope it picks back up to an acceptable level soon. August blows, September please get here quicker >:(

My regular cancelled 10 mins before I was due to meet him............so pissed off after it took 40 texts back and forth last night just to confirm the fricking booking! usually I don't engage in sex text but as I mentioned he was a regular. I hate those " i miss you text's" bla bla bla.

So after 30 minutes of pointless texts back and forth I decide to end the text games by just saying " ok just let me know when you want to meet and we will go from there, see you later" he then texts back " I can imagine you in red knickers ........... etc."

I'm sooooooo angry  at this point I just decide to leave it. An hour later he texts again "can I see you tomorrow "????and by then I know in my heart that he's just playing games, he's obviously pissed off that I'm not continuing this text chat so he thinks I'll get her back by making a fake appointment. Well today he decides to cancel via text 10 minutes before we are due to meet  saying that he's stuck in traffic , lets say London. Well I checked every travel site and surprise surprise there were no issues to report. He is definitely going in the black book grrrrr!!!  If this is what August is like then next year i'm going on holiday myself.  :FF

As I live by the sea, I imagined summer would be my busiest time of the year. The city and the beach are always crazy busy, so I thought there would be lots of bookings from the tourists.

Right. Middle of August, it's dead and it turns out most of my clients are in tourism themselves, be it hotels or restaurants, so these days, they're he ones working their asses of, and I'm home, broke, bored and frustrated...
And then we have a heat wave, people want to swim in the sea rather than have a sticky sex, I suppose.

I started last year in September, so had no idea. Next year I'm gonna save for the summer and relax on the beach too!

Love days like that. All my regs seem to have vanished off the face of the earth!

 I have been over my profile with a fine tooth comb and added a special offer as well as a bit more naughty bait to lure them in but i dnt know ..im running out of tricks haha never had such a long period of checking aw and seeing 0 new msg... waaaah haha makes me swear everytime i log in lol
Normally my regulars keep my spirits up if i hav a quiet day or 2 cz i know the regs will b along soon for their monthly... but currently im wondering where they all are! Maybe on summer hols with th wife an kids?!
Iv been getting like no new client enquiries except 4 ppl on aw with 0 fb and hav just joined up there (so im always dubious about even bothering to take bookings from this type) i have even been having to suck up 2 these enquiries on th off chance they wil actually honour th booking!
Ach i hope it picks up again sooooooooon...
Cmon ladies lets all psychically link hands and do a man dance haha i imagine if we all put on its raining men and tune in our inner goddes beam whilst dancin round th living room with  garter round our heads and hands in the air we might just b able to create a shift in the ether and quench this man drought...lol

Saturday was totally dead, took yesterday off, and today was BUSY!!!  ???
I've got bookings for every day of this week apart from Thursday (half of them probably won't show lol, but they sounded genuine and
all tried to book before)
Is it me or are things definitely picking up now the summer hols are over?!

I think things are picking up weekends are steady but weekdays are busier. I missed alot of calls today although wasn't available. I have alot of texts to respond to just the once tomorrow. Predicted text does the job quick. It's the voice mails that are a drag. Even though advise them to text me for a quick reply they still leave. So when have time it could be 4 days later. Some have a little moan. Then remind them I did explain. So then they make a desicion to be on hold or for a prompt same day response. Having no liability.

Funnny you suggest that Blondie.
I always thought it was 'ploite' to have it on...but
I took my voicemail off when I went on holiday as I never listen to them.
And they annoy me.
Then I never put it back.

They all call back in the end if they can't get you the first time lol
Feeling so much more relaxed lol

Yes. Voicemail was stressing me out and I switched it off 2 days ago on both my phones.

So much more relaxing!  8)

Post by: Siorse on 25 August 2015, 12:33:12 pm
I just don't answer or listen to voicemails lol, I just send them a text sorry I missed your call and then they can decide if they want to
get back to me  ;)
Half the time there's no message anyway, they just hang up too late after it's rung out..
And then I've wasted all my credit listening to blank voice-mails lol, so I've given up on them.
As long as I get back to them, that's enough I think..

Yes... I had my phone off for the last three or so days and when I turned it on there was no massive flurry of text pings. Just a couple.

Ah, well... they'll get the horn sooner or later. And all at once of course!

I had the most horrible day. Not only had 0 clients (3 bookings, all no shows) but the phone was ringing all day, with idiots asking my rates (which are clearly stated in the ad, obviously) and then acting shocked, telling me other girls charge 100. Just for your amusement, as of today, a 100 would be 17 pounds.

Also, apparently as a BBW I should charge even less, because I'm fat -> ugly. What kind of logic is that. If you like skinny ladies just phone them. What is going on. I feel like crying.

I answered an ad for phone operator at a brothel/flat agency, maybe that would be better for now.

Do not give up and look at your marketing, I am a BBW and I certainly do not give two flying monkeys whether my dress size or age needs to dictate my price and my clients agree.

It is a slow week, the week before payday always is, so do not be too harsh on yourself or allow little boys to dictate your mood as you are allowing them to win.

What I did was I kept a diary of busy days, when they fell etc, weekends included and work according to that, that way I know what to expect on which days and it really works.

I took yesterday off, coz I was absolutely exhausted, spent most of the day sleeping.. Turned the phone on and there was a few missed
calls and texts, but today's been dead so far..  :(
Can't complain coz I had a really good week so far, but I hate sitting waiting for the phone to ring, my motivation just goes out the window!!

Thank you so much Fluffy Bunny, I'm bringing my old persona from the dead today and we'll see how it goes. I do love this job when it's busy, but it seems I can't cope when it's so slow, I get too frustrated.
I've started a proper diary this month, but don't have enough data yet. It's so random sometimes. But end of the month makes lots of sense.
Well, September is coming, we'll see how it'll treat us!

I am totally demented today..!! Why can't some people just make a booking for a definite day, for a definite time?!
I've got quite a few clients who keep phoning in the off-chance I'm available right now, and if I'm not, they'll go in the huff, sulk,
and say "But you're always busy!"
Yeah no wonder if you keep phoning at the busiest times of the day, apart from that, it must be payday today, coz my phone's not
stopped all day, but because of these short-notice/ time-changing w*****s I've just ended up totally stressed and could've had a lot more bookings than I ended up with..  >:(

REMOVING available today on aw?? I've always thought that was a better way of obtaining bookings!

Saying that I've had an awful few weeks, in particular this last week. I was "on tour" in central London for 1.5 days and it was sooo quiet! Only had 3 bookings - 2 of those were guys I had seen before and only 1 new one.

I don't know what's going on, I have over 100 positive feedback, field reports, always have my number displayed and available today on. I also featured a field report for those days and put myself in the local search. I had the dates in the tours section well ahead of time and I really don't know what more I could've done!

It has been a few years since I've toured in London and it was never that quiet.

I know it was the week before pay day but didn't think it would be quite so dead! Didn't even have any views of my private gallery or movies which is very unusual when I'm in a different area!

Does anyone have any idea's as to why it didn't work out.....and in general why I'm so quiet at the moment?

I have no idea why it does that to me. It can help on a rare occasion for me.  99%  of the time the available today isn't used and do well.  It might work for a few days. For me it worked. 

The competition in London is very high. As much is covered there.

The only time I use available today is in London, where you really do have to. I usually go for 4/5 days minimum as sometimes 1 or 2 of those days are just dead. Never a reason for it, it's just how it goes. But the other days make up for it  ;D

Ive been away for a week, wondering what its going to be like later today as its the bank  holiday. Was busy up till friday the week before then the weekend died, monday and tuesday were okay though. Usually the weekends are busier for me than the week days.

Regarding the available today setting, sometimes it works like literally flicking on a switch, phone starts ringing, other days it makes no difference at all, sometimes I forget and the phone still rings, other times I forget and its quiet...depends on the day really

I know it's the Bank holiday but I'm really starting to think something is up!

Was available all day Saturday and just had 1 half hr
Yesterday was available all day and didn't have a thing
Available today and just had 1 no show so far....

For me this is unheard of....I can't remember ever having such a bad time of it. That along with seeing just 3 guys (2 hr appts and 1 half) while I was in London for the best part of 2 days last week has really got me down in the dumps  :(

The only thing that has been consistent is the TWATS!

Has anyone else had a bad spell like this and if so please tell me it got better! Really worried I'm not going to have enough to cover my outgoings this week. Am supposed to be doing a couple of days at a hotel at the end of the week but at this rate I won't be able to afford even that!

Oh and also feeling I'm getting a sore throat and cold now  >:(

Post by: victoryrose on 31 August 2015, 05:11:06 pm
I raised my outcall rates as previously they were matching the incall ones but I realised I tend to lose a fair bit in travel. It's a Bank Holiday so I'm not really counting these days as a proper indication of how things will be, but I haven't noticed much change, I'm still getting the same number of TWs. Most of my business comes from incalls these days anyway, but I am mildly worried about how I will fare whilst at uni and significantly less able to do those.

This thread seems quiet at the moment yay. Is everyone finding it busy at the moment? I'm not I'm finding it dead all week and then manic rushed off my feet at the weekend. That is the opposite of how I like to work, I prefer to be steady all week not manic for a few days to earn the same amount!

Reason I ask is because I've had a hiccup in my advertising that was completely unexpected and outside my control and I'm worried it is affecting business quite badly while I recover, or it could just be extremely quiet at the moment. I don't know! :FF

I'm still making my targets but it's definitely quieter than I'm used to.

Yes before the change there were many paranoid coming to me asking about it. Now there are hardly any, many seem cool with it. There was one guy who said that he stopped to wait to see if any thing happens. Many are still touring here even from the republic.  I find it very well here.

They only show the bad stuff on the news in England. Coming on my first tour here it made me nervous but went for it. For me it suits me very well. Many people talk to you even if you don't know them. They are a friendly bunch and love the accent too one of my kinks. :) I don't watch the news here only sky. If ever touring here I will give a few tips you can pm me if you like.

If you have your wits about you. Things will go smoothly. I would imagine the hotels would be a bit stricter now since the law. This is my forth year here and still haven't managed to pick up the accent. :)

God, I'm having a bad start of the day so far..  :( Saturdays are usually pretty busy for me, calls and texts coming in starting early morning, but so far this morning my phone's been dead!
My one and only booking I had got cancelled, getting slightly worried..!!

Ended up being saved by a few quickies and a couple of half hours later on in the day, maybe you were right Fluffy B, and it did have
something to do with the match being on lst night and they were all hungover today..
I'm NEVER this quiet on a Saturday..  :( ( and I mean the phone as well, it was pretty dead, all kind of young, wasted/ hangover-nursing types and a few weirdo's lol)

Strange days.. Yesterday was pandemonium, honestly, I haven't been that busy for a while, the phone was going non-stop and was
struggling to get bookings in, back-to-back!
And then today.. It's totally dead..  ???
Had 2 bookings booked, but the phone's been as quiet as a mouse. Very strange, the difference between yesterday and today.

How do they know when you leave the house..?!  ???
It really is uncanny.. I'd been really busy up until yesterday, it was pretty dead.. So today I didn't switch my phone on til about 1pm,
really dead again!!
I had to go out for a doc's appointment, and bingo! As soon as I put my jacket on to leave the house the phone starts ringing.
And not just the once either, I missed 5 calls in the time I was out, got back to them all, but they must've wanted to book asap.
Only had two (TW's) calls since I got back home..
Should've just had a day off..  ::)

I noticed that, I was the only one posting lol  :)  Yesterday was just pants.
This morning was crazy, 3 bookings back to back, then I had an hour booking at 1.30pm, for which I'd knocked back other bookings etc., the b*****d didn't  show  :FF
Why do they do that?! It takes a minute to cancel..
I was not happy.. I'm also totally exhausted.. Maybe I'm getting too old for this lol  ;)
I wouldn't have minded so much if it had been a 15min quickie, or even a half hr, but an hr booking at that time of the day, grrrr  >:(

I did as well! 1 no show today, a few timewastery texts and only 1 booking, but I didn't expect it to be busy - from experience Sundays can be funny.

One thing I noticed last week was that a LOT of people were still on holiday (perhaps taking advantage of the cheaper holiday rates once the school holidays are over)..

For example last week I tried to make appointments with:

My Optician (on holiday till this weds)

My Hosp Consultant: on holiday for 3 weeks? coming back this Friday

My Hosp Consultant?s Secretary: also on holiday (back this week)

Solicitor's Secretary - on holiday last week

I really didn?t get anywhere on my phone calls because it seemed everyone I rang last week was on holiday! ?.. so am figuring perhaps that maybe that is why it has been quiet/dead for some people on here....

A lot of people go away in September, myself included sometimes.

My own fault, but this is a bad time for work to be dire, behind on rent, need to clear my credit card and pay for my fast tract intensive driving lessons.

Fully booked as always, and now almost everybody has cancelled. Great. :) I'm thinking I'm going to shorten the amount of time in advance that I'll take a booking for a tour, it was previously a week but now I might have to leave it until the three preceding days or something. I'm extremely pissed off, and now so paranoid about no-shows that I've texted two clients I had bad feelings about to let them know I'm cancelling on them because I think they won't turn up. At least I've broken even in terms of the price for the room, but I have two days here and I'm just stressed as fuck. Plus I've lost my one hair band to keep my hair tied back so I have this immensely thick dark hair all over the place. >:(

Hi new to saafe,im candi x
Yes totally agree with you, I thought September would be the knock on effect from the summer spending, everything needs to be paid will,credit cards,bills alot of extra spending on holidays so something has to give..
I quite hard to adapt your life around to people's spending habits,half of the punters or more just dissappear  over the summer leaving less punters around.. i generally ticked over OK in the summer but noticed a big change in end Aug and Sept.peoples spending habits are changing all year so it then affects us,lucky for the regs who stay consistent and do some longer sessions...This may just be in my area but I've noticed alot how people spend money at certain times of year and how it affects my earnings

Hello Candi, welcome! Yes the first time you have quiet months it feels like a shock. You just want to go into panic mode. Then you realise it is the same cycle every year and thank goodness for regulars. ;D

Post by: Lushblossom on 18 September 2015, 04:09:47 am
This week has been a shocker on the financial front.  That said I am overtired burnt out and feeling below par so it is handy to be able to chill for a short while.  I am detoxing on sugar and caffeine so it is an ideal week to be feeling exhausted and this will pass.

Prior to that business was exceedingly buoyant.

Even my private gallery has sunk to a record low this week!

Not helped by being the week prior to the monthly salary pay day next week for many punters either now.  :(

I'm in dubai atm and it's unusually quiet. Normally the phone rings 24/7 and watsapp goes insane


 But I was here this time last year and it was crazy  my friend & I were in the same hotel and we literally didn't see each other it was that busy

I'm with 3 other ladies that I know pretty well. One of them  we arranged our trip together so that we could hang out with each other

We are all totally different in looks  ages nationality blonde brunette mixed race



One  lady is a stunning polish girl, she  was here in August and was mega busy she came back and has only done 2 bookings since sat

My other friend who comes here loads  like every other month and is english was also dead and it was a overnight that saved her from a crap tour

I had a 3 day booking with a reg that I always have when I come here ( otherwise I wouldnt come he pays in advance so I know I have the booking  ) which covered my cost and left me with a good profit and ive had work every day thankfully mainly regulars and being extremely active on Twitter which works well here but it's extremely quite compared to my previous trip where I was turning them down 


   However next week it's eid and the KSA holiday and the saudi guys are crazy   :D for strap on & dom  and I am getting a lot of enquiries for next week I still have till early October here  so I think it will be ok and then im going to a few other places   
But It's only the fact that the prices are high which makes it worth while and that I had a 3 day booking and I have a two day booking at the end of the month with the same guy  otherwise it would be crap trip so far  but I like it here so I will def come back

But it's sunny and I can sit by the pool so it's not hard work just painfully boring

Thankfully I booked my hotels ages ago and paid peanuts for it it worked it was cheaper to be in dubai than tour every weekend so I would rather be here in the sunshine

yesterday was dead except for one one time wasting walk and an out call request which I regrettably  declined due to having paid money for a hotel. On the positive I manage to gleam some good info on the area. The taxi driver not only complained about it being dead for a Friday but said for my particular town, Friday regardless of the year was always bad. Told me what his busiest days were and they seemed to tally with mine. So Fridays will now be my chill days.  :)

and ended up with not that many bookings, according to the amount of calls if you know what I mean..
Today's started off rubbish, had an hr booking cancelled first thing, got another one at 2pm , but the phone's pretty dead apart
from a few TW's..  ::)

Fairly quiet last week overall and yesterday was dead so I took the decision to finish at about 3pm.I made the right decision as I only really had one guy who would have been a definite ring.Other than that someone text just wanting to know where in Leeds I am..it says clearly on my ads.Today not much going on.Got an advance booking tomorrow.I think it will pick up at the weekend as people will have got paid and come back from hols etc.September is always a funny month.

I had a busy August but I'm having a slow September. I know someone who works at Heathrow airport who told me it's been then busiest month of the year, so me thinks that people are going on holidays in September nowaday. Hotel/plane tickets are considerably cheaper and people can take longer vacations. I guess september is the new August (?)

Yes September has been quite weak financially for me also.  However after a hectic July and August it is welcome in a way so I can catch up with my head.

Oddly enough Fridays are generally quite busy my end even though I can only do a short day then I am more or less guaranteed at least a 30 mins. booking and often turn away one or two others beyond that.

I anticipate October being busier for most of us.  Cheery news for us!  :)

Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: victoryrose on 25 September 2015, 08:23:21 am
Well I made half of what my upper target was supposed to be, but that serves me right for a) booking 4 solid tours when I've never done more than two short ones in a month and b) booking 4 solid tours in a month meaning I'm working for most of the month, completely forgetting about the fact that I menstruate and c) to be quite honest, not considering that I'd probably burn out.

Because I think I have. Thankfully it's not a career-ending burnout nor is it a "I really demand a holiday" one (because I'd be absolutely fucked with Green conference starting today and uni starting straight after), but I will welcome this break over the next few days and possibly a week or so after that because taking outcalls while I settle into second year doesn't sound wise.

Boy am I pissed off with punters though, literally absolutely sick of some of them and the way they have been treating me. This month I've had my boundaries absolutely pushed to their limit, punters doing "innocent" things I don't offer and therefore didn't consent to, punters giving me the impression they're GFE as fuck and then turning up expecting the most PSE and traumatic roleplay this side of Daddy/Daughter porn. Usually the bad is balanced out by the good but I can only remember a handful of lovely ones.

It hasn't been brilliant, but I'm now only two more grand away from the tax threshold so I'm happy about that as I'll almost definitely meet it before April. Then I'll be one fifth of my way onto the UK considering me human. ;D

Anyway time to go and party with the hippies, see you all in a few days.

For Irish tours this happens a lot.
Timewasters rush to ring on first day.

So I used to say I was there a day before I got
there....to flush out the timewasters.
I never answered the phone on that 'fake' day.

Then when you get there you can focus on the genuine callers.

I missed this earlier when i was on my phone.

I have done that in the past, tested it the day before and then made a definite decision the following day, but like I say I was sooooo sure of this place. 

I'm convinced it's a school fees thing, (I have to tell myself something).  A lot of people are complaining so maybe that's it?

School fees due August so that's a possibility.

What % of guys pay school fees though.  If they have enough money to send children to private schools surely they aint that skint they cant afford to visit a prossie?

Remember too on run up to 28th of month its sometimes quieter as many people get paid then.

I think it's a bit quiet everywhere at the moment, I just got home yesterday from renting a hotel out for a couple of days for incalls. It was the slowest I've ever been, and I actually spent most the time napping and eating. I was lucky I managed to pull a couple of 2 hour and 3 hour bookings or I would've been out of pocket.

This last two weeks has been diabolical but I had a good July and August so I was knackered anyway.  Nobody has viewed my private gallery in over a week which is highly unusual and I have no credits only 62 pence!

Will put more pics on this week to liven things up.

October is bound to be better.

Central London - Mon and Tuesday both decent days, phone not ringing much, but when it rings it produces. Agree private gallery a bit slow, but my latest batch of pics are now a few months old, so I need to make more of an effort. Overall, quite happy with how it's going.

I've been in Brentwood all week and Essex is usually B U S Y!!

This week is slow to say the least with today being the busiest so far. I am thankful to have made a profit but it is honestly half of what it would usually be. My tour buddy is the same and was even packed to go home at one point!

Another friend's friend is also in Essex and says it's slow.

Is September usually so bad?? I was much busier in the summer holidays.

It's finally picked up for me today. Done an hour, a 45min, a 15min and got a 45min due at 4pm. Tempted to sack it off after him cause I'm knackered and never stopped between bookings doing one thing or another. I always feel guilty finishing this early but generally i only see around 4 clients a day. Don't like much more than that. If a nice reg got in touch then I think I'd accept otherwise I'm done after this next one.

I've just passed my theory test, so need to earn a tonne of cash from now to the end of the year to cover lessons, a car, insurance, Christmas, tax and ni due in January and three months earnings as we all know how shit the beginning of the year is! WHEN am ill going to learn to save!  ;D haha.xx

I've had 4 bookings this month :/ Probably jinxed myself by being cocky and paying off a third of my credit card instead of saving it for a slow month!

Had 2 calls today, both from previous no shows so they went unanswered.

I have had a couple of no shows this week, not happy about that as I rarely get those as a rule, maybe one a month tops or something.

Also quite a few asking for only 15 mins.  One guy had the audacity to ask for 15 mins for ?20 so I blocked him on AW.  Cheeky sod.  Think he was young.  Tends to be those that take the pee I find.

Just had a lovely guy for a half hour so not amazing but a great guy so that has cheered me up.

Monday I had plenty asking for a booking but today it is dead quiet. 

In my location Mon/Fri/Sat tend to be the best.

Tuesdays I tend not to work but two guys asked if I was working I had to decline - flippin' typical!

1 half assed enquiry on the phone (the only time its rung as well to be honest)

decided on a wee bit webcamming, and thats just full of the "stand up sit down show face twirl" brigade.  i have a cut n paste for that stating i don't in free, yet still one wee eejit asking for everything even after the refusal is posted.

made like ?20 all day, so just gonna strip off the stockings, get into my jammies and sit with coffee and netflix for the rest of the afternoon.  urgh.

Should anybody be interested October was generally pants for most of us as mercury was retrograde which always impacts on business globally.

It will be out of its shadow by the weekend so things will pick up again.

I have just had a crap two months it just ain't pretty ....  September is always a week months for us after the school summer holidays and cost of foreign holidays for people etc.

Hope this helps anyone!

Not a great month for me either  >:(
Plus renting out rooms on a daily rate is becoming a bit risky as I seem to always have clients book on the day. I never seem to go anywhere with a full day booked in advance.
Advance bookings are a rarity at the moment, so I neve know when somewhere is going to be busy or not.
Currently in Bracknell so will see how good it is here.
Not being hitting daily target lately.
Not good.

I'm not sure how I feel about October yet. Yesterday 1 booking of 3,5 hours, today a guy cancelled for a 3 hour session and still 2 hours standing in my schedule. Last week was ok, first week was really good but now Im working only two days I feel the pressure to earn enough to also save for my Australia trip (needing 5k) and not sure if I'll manage it at this pace..

Yesterday was one of the most testing and trying days of my working life.  By 11.15 I gave up and had a gin and tonic, I needed it.

Idiots texting and calling, had a guy show up who booked me via phone, told me I was a bait and switch whe I asked him where he saw my ad he said George McCoy, that flat capped little prick had still not removed the fake details he had put up on his site about me and I am getting the backlash.

I have read posts on punting forums and surprisingly punters are behind girls on what the goverment is teying to imply against this business. For me quiet means - phone not ringing at all, for other girls it may means they had half of the bookings they get a day. Everyone has different daily targets. I am annoyed as i didnt meet my weekly target which means i have to work on sunday to make it up for today..

I don't think the AM scandal puts men off using escorts per se, but I do think it's going to make them even more wary of giving e.g. Adultwork any of their details.

I also wonder if some are worried about e.g. trafficked women, but don't have the nous/time/inclination to do the research about who to see, so end up not bothering at all?

Yesterday was absolutely shit.
3 of us in the flat yesterday and we were all quiet.
Full of timewasters and no proper calls until after 8pm when I had already gone home (don't do evenings)
I think it is quiet everywhere as I have been alternating locations and every where has been about the same.
Not turning down calls and bookings are hours between, but yesterday was the worst day of the week.
Just 2 hours after paying 70 for room 10 petrol 40 child minder. Not worth it at all.
Next week I am taking a risk and doing 3 different locations Monday-Friday and seeing how that goes. 550 overhead so I need a couple of decent days!!

This has been my busiest weekend for me since I started I'm sure it will always be some weekends busier than others. Starting out was the worst for my first couple of working weekends I had one booking that didn't cancel I think maybe that's just the newbie thing that everyone has to deal with though. Yesterday was great but the last one I did was really big and liked to be as hard as possible so I'm kinda sore I think I'm just not used to that much sex in one day but he didn't help especially since he was the last booking!

Totally know the feeling right now. I've got an hour booking due at 7.30pm and I've totally lost the motivation now having only had a 45min booking all day. Just want to jump in a nice hot bath with a big glass of wine. 8.30 can't come quick enough.

Ladies I feel we are in the pre Xmas run up now so we should be great for a while!  Which is cheery at least.  Definitely more booking requests, yesterday around 5 guys wanted to see me all at the same hour of the day lol.

Has been a good week for me (at last!) but then I come on my period - typical!

Surprisingly the first day I was on I still had 3 appts which is a miracle, normally everyone wants sex at that time! Just want it out the way now so I can make the most of what seems to be a busier spell

Well it's pretty crap here in Nottingham. Done an hour and a 15min so far today but lost all momentum and can't wait to come home. Got a 30min at 7pm and feel like i just can't be arsed between now and then. If all of a sudden my phone went mad busy with people wanting bookings I'd probably only accept one and then leave it until my 7pm. Just not in the right mind set today.

Sweetcheeks.. I am feeling exactly the same today.am in staffs and its just too quiet.. The ones who are wanting to meet just all sound dodgy. I have just had one asking to see me as late as poss tonight.. So I am supposed to sit around waiting till 11pm to see him for 30 mins! :FF

Sultress i've had loads of dodgy sounding people phoning as well. I ended up doing another 15min quickie with an absolute arsehole who was too rough and after that i just couldn't bare anymore so took my number down. Still got my 7pm to go though but I've just bought a bottle of wine that's chilling nicely in the fridge so i can't bloody wait to open that, seriously needed after these last 2 days. Dragged like hell!

Wtf is wrong with AW people today?! Everyone bargaining on price today!
Maybe its pre christmas saving but really annoys me!!

Maybe its time to use separate numbers for people from aw, they try to know the price down more and more often lately, might be the competitiveness is the cause I am sure. Seems like I need to work for less on aw to maintain monthly cashflow while trying to increase profit margin.

Post by: Londonergirl on 09 November 2015, 12:00:35 am
Had an outcall today, guy tried to haggle when I got there, then the initial 90mins agreed reduced to 45mins, agreed. Then guy got abusive as I dnt do deepthroat and he tried to force my head and pushing my neck... I gave money back, kept 20 and left.

Then i had a guy i have seen before and 20mins before the appointment when I was ready he rang saying he has seen me before therefore i should reduce my price by 20. Declined, guy still came no problem.
Another outcall, i suspect the fucker is joking around and enjoying it. I am at the address, i rang nobody picks up, got a text saying im 15mins far away. Ok wait 15mins then left, fake outcall.

A terrible day here.
If renting was not so popular in london i wouldnt do outcalls at all. Thinking abt asking for proof of address now but i will lose a lot of business :(

me " What time would you like"?

Him " I want someone to dominate me, are you up to the challenge"?

me " As I mentioned last month and the month before  that, If you want to make a booking then just send me your contact details and the best time to call you and we can go from there"

Him " I just want you to confirm that you will be available this Thur and then I will give you my contact number!"   :FF

" what time would you like" is a big fucking indication that I'm available on Thur!!! aahhhhh       non-stop idiotic emails

I'm the same, I'll log into AW, have a decent amount of messages to read so feel hopeful about possible advance bookings only to open them and every single one of them have zero feedback. Gettinga lot of messages lately as well asking straight out for my number, again these are zero feedbackers and it winds me the fuck up. If i wanted people to have my number it would be on display that day. When I'm not working i don't want pestering on my phone especially by people who are clearly time wasters!

For the first time ever I double booked this morning as I suspected they were going to be tw's and neither of them turned up! However one did surprise me by ringing saying he was down the next road, I directed him to mine and gave him the flat number.....then nothing! The first time that's happened as well. Going to make sure I get them right outside the entrance where I can see them in future before giving out my number.

Very quiet here this week, a potential returning client for today though.

Is identical to last year for me - busy last week, dead this week and busy with advanced bookings for next week.

Think some of it is spreading cost of Christmas for my regs - upside was a busy January as they didn't have big CC bills.

Doing marketing stuff instead - updating profile, blog and some new pics.  :)

Had two cancellations this week posted both dates on my profile and they were booked up by the next morning! I'm booked everyday from today at 8 until next Tuesday which is great! I usually work two days a week but will be off for two weeks so have a bit of free time to fill the slots.

They have been filled within hours which is fantastic. I love when I'm busy! :D

This week has been rubbish.
Haven't been hitting target. Yesterday was the best day but only did 4 (2 were half hours)
I guess my slow is someone else's busy, but because I pay put a lot of money for accommodation childcare etc I like to do a fair few hours in s day otherwise I feel it's not really worth ?100+ expense of you are only making ?200 or so profit.
As this kind of money means you are sitting around for periods in between. Bores me to tears.
Very frustrating.
Have serviced apartment next week in 2 different places @ ?100 a day so I hope that it picks up :(

Hi all,
I'm just wondering what your views are on business today - I have bookings later with regulars, but I have not had a single phone call today, which I've not known before.
Do you think guys get spooked by the date? :o

Post by: Lushblossom on 13 November 2015, 04:39:45 pm
It has been eerily quiet.  I only had a half hour sesh today and that was just a blowjob and also a quickie i.e. 15 mins.  No written emails all very odd.

It does make you wonder!

Plus are people worried about the storm coming?  I know weather can affect business too.

Weird huh. ???

I've had the day from hell!!! Definitely been a true Friday the 13th for me.
So i got up bright and early to pack, shower and do my hair and make up (which isn't a quick job for me). Long story short, turned up to the hotel that i regularly use and the receptionist says i have no reservation with them. I showed them the booking on my phone that was confirmed through my emails. I booked through a website through Trivago. Basically the hotel said there was nothing they could do cause although the website had taken my money, the hotel hadn't received this or the reservation. There i am panicking as i had 3 advance bookings, 1 of which due in 45mins time after arriving. The hotel told me I'm going to have to phone the company which i did. Worst company in the world. Basically got absolutely no where, nothing no one could do "aparantly" so i gave up and had to cancel my bookings :(  Like an idiot i had only ?20 on me and a tenner in my bank so there was absolutely nothing i could do. Really was on a downer for the rest of the day cause i honestly think I'd have done well today. Had 3 advance bookings and 2 regulars asking for bookings. It was looking like a really good day. Typical :(

Managed to sort something for tomorrow now so fingers crossed it turns out to be a decent day.

I wouldn't exactly say slow, but definitely bad luck. Slept through my alarm for the first time ever so completely missed out on having early afternoon bookings and waking up to 30 missed calls and 20 texts. And now just had a strange couple. The man came up first to make sure it was safe for the woman, then he brought the woman up and I asked if either of them would like a shower, then the woman said how she was nervous and the man asked if she wanted to go outside so a bit so they apologised then the man literally just called and was like, she's too nervous and they're going to cancel.  :-\ well I can understand that, but don't book an escort unless you're sure, they've just wasted my time and theirs. I turned down other bookings that had come in between them booking and deciding they couldn't go through with it...

This is the deadest it's been for ages.  Only 3 clients the whole week.  Granted I have rejected bookings from at least 4 previous clients as I only want easy bookings this week due to feeling a bit fragile at the moment.  But seriously wondering what's going on? Weird because last week was my best week in ages.

This happened to me a couple of weeks ago, so bloody annoying!

Well i had a totally average day and finished at 6pm as my last client totally messed my hair up and slobbered all over me so i could no longer be arsed! In the end i did 3x 45mins and a 10min boob relief. Not the best day but not the worst either.

After a mediocre (for me) summer and really start of autumn as well I've been pleasantly surprised by November it's been really busy and I've even booked a last minute break next week to recharge before its back to the grindstone to make Christmas present money. So happy and thankful for November it's no fun having cash when a huge portion of it just goes on bills!

Pretty dead in Leeds but the weather has been really crap.I'm on holiday from tomorrow night so hopefully when I come back it will be better.

After paying my bills I've made ?40 profit so far this week, never encountered so many cancellations as I have the past 2 weeks. Glad I made a dent in my Christmas shopping last month. Hoping December picks up it was great last year
Same really a few cancellations but also no shows or guys turning up so late I couldn't/wouldn't see them.Thankfully like you my xmas shopping is already sorted.I just can't wait to have my phone switched off for 10 days!

Thanks Lois,I think it will be fab indeed x

As busy as usual in Essex. Turning down business today and fully booked for most of my availability over the next month (although I only work incalls a few days a month)

Hope other Essex girls are reaping the pre-festive funds

Yesterday was quiet for me as well, but i did start later than usual so i blamed it on that, i have 1h only for today.. Still early to "predict" rest of the day

Absolutely dire this month! Yesterday was ok, 2x 1hour bookings a half hour and a 15min.

Today it's currently 3.50pm and I've done an hour all day. Had a guy cancel on me right at the very last min and just idiots texting and calling. Got a booking due at 4pm for an hour with someone who has about 8 positive feedbacks on AW but 2 negs saying he did a no show but as business isn't booming I've taken the chance and hoping it pays off. Also got a regular who's letting me know if he can finish work early so fingers crossed.

Well this 4pm booking is pissing around. 4.01pm, no sign so i text asking if he's near, he said he'll be about 5mins, like thanks for letting me know! Still waiting. If he doesn't turn up my day has been wasted!

It kind of picked up for me in the end thank god! Did 3x 1hour bookings and a 30min. Hope it at least stays steady like this. I can cope with being quite just as long as I have enough to cover bills as well as making back my accommodation costs.

Well my week has been off to a good start! I've been non stop since Sunday. I was doing in calls yesterday evening for one day only (last minute thing) and managed to get 5 bookings for the day which was fantastic for less than 24 hours advertising it.

One of the clients booked me for an hour, we did 69 and he came in less than 5 minutes and was like "been waiting for that all day" he went in the bathroom and was showering! I said to him you've got loads of time left and he said that was all he wanted, I offered to refund him the difference and he wouldn't take any of it. Honestly the guy was in and out in under 20 minutes that has to be the easiest 120 I've made!

I have two outcall bookings this evening and tomorrow, then I'm working in my civvy work the weekend. It's definitely busier and I'm enjoying it, usually I'm booked up about two weeks in advance but December is sporadic for me so I don't book in advance for Dec, I usually have plenty days free so now I can fill them up with bookings! :D

I changed my profile from being pretty short and straight to the point and made it more wordy and descriptive, with headings etc.

Now I'm not sure if it's the profile change or it's just quiet in general.

they do this to book several girls at the time until they find a cheaper one, and to have a back plan if they can't find cheaper or better.

Ha my holiday started today. It's just too slow and I can't be bothered to rent a flat, sit in it all day and only end up with one or two bookings. That doesn't cut it for me because when you think of it the first few money you get from first couple bookings goes towards  making rent money back and you don't actually start making a profit till after that.  I hate sitting around waiting anyway, it's not good for my body. To me, this job is not worth doing if your not raking it in. That's just the way I see it. Might as well go work a civvy job if it continues to be so slow, atleast I would be happier ;) I entered this job with the notion of getting lots of cash so I can live  lavish not to get cash to pay rent, eat and that's it.  ??? :-\

In modern day economy, unless you are a CEO or just plain lucky, lavish isn't really in most people's cards. I'm willing to bet a lot of working girls here do a regular 'livable' wage only.

Personally, I'd rather pay my rent, eat and that's it with 10 hours of work a month than 40 a week.

What do you class as a regular livable wage though

Im a bit like the poster above in that  when I started out I had the same thoughts of no point in doing this unless I was making a considerable amount of money

Now though im more relaxed but I still like to earn a good amount if im at home working then 2-3 a day on average but if im touring then I aim for double that and more but at the moment im dead by 8pm due to the all the  medication I have to take for my back and it wipes me out by 9pm ish

Bills and food covered, enough money to support a hobby, ability to save some, and maybe travel once in a while if you set money aside for it. That's the generic "livable" up here in Norway. Where I'm originally from, "livable" is bills and food paid, maybe able to save a little bit, but not much more than that. So yeah, it depends a bit, but it's by no means 'lavish'.

I think we all gotten into this with the "notion" of making big money. When you settle in this job and you see that no day is the same.. But bills etc stay the same or even worse rise.. Then you start to change tour mind. I like the job as its not stressfull, i work from home.. I get up when i want inbetween bookings i can go out or do some house work etc. For me its ok if i can cover my bills, do my monthly shopping of things that i want to buy either for my flat or myself, and have aside for a holiday. Im not fooling myself that i can buy a mansion.. Be realistic girls theres people out there who have real professions and give alot of effort in their jobs yet they dont make as much as some of us might in a day... Think about it and then complain

While I agree with the general gist of the sentiment, I don't feel it right to imply that whoring is somehow not a real profession, because it absolutely is. Please do not indirectly contribute to the dismissive attitude the general public has towards this job. :<

I wouldn't really want to buy a mansion myself. lol. I have been saving for a boob job for months now. You would think I would have been able to save enough money and get them done by whoring ages ago but that's just not the case. I think lavish was a bit of a strong word to use but was hoping people would get the gist of where I was coming from. Prostitution IS a real profession and we as prostitutes DO put a lot of effort into this job. I have thought about this over and over in my head and  my opinion would never change really  :( I'm only doing this for a short while, not going to make this my career so I would like to make as much money as I can. So just covering bills and food is not enough for me as I would not be doing this forever. I just don't want to look back and think "What did I get out of doing this?" oh yes, food ::) The only rent that I pay is for my working flat and I guess I was/and still am being a bit unrealistic? Don't know how to get out of this mindset. But just to reiterate I wasn't aiming or suggesting that I want enough money to buy a Bentley a 5 acre gated estate and a yacht. Just enough so that I don't feel as though I am barely getting by or just surviving or ticking over.  Someone please understand where I am coming from lool. ;) xx

It's just very quiet and all my friends are quiet too. If you are seeing three clients a day then you are doing well IMO.

I don't know what's happened this year but I think a lot of people are in the financial shit. I had hoped to make more than a 'living wage' from this too but I won't lie, if things do not pick up I will have to consider a part- time job as well.

I am changing the way I work though in a last ditch attempt at making more of a profit by getting a work flat in the new year and I will give it 6 months.

Over -saturation of working girls and a failing economy just does not equal profit.

I had 5 bookings yesterday and none today and I am in a hotel. I should have 2 tomorrow who are regulars but I won't hold my breath.

The season of good cheer, NOT  :-\

I don't want to just cover my food & bills I do want & expect certain luxuries probably more laid back now as im older and have done most of wanted to do

It's the opposite though  my friends all  3 of them have all been mega mega busy and they are all totally different in terms of looks & ages

Ive just started back after 2 months off ill with my back and leg and it was a quiet first 2 days but my aw add wasn't right then it went stupidly crazy busy

Do you think that a lot of escorts just rely on aw or that  they might  have overkilled an area by visting to much which is why they might go quiet

No you didnt understood me correctly and it might be down to the way i sometimes express my thoughts, yes this is a profession although many people think it cant be coz u dont need any experince or qualifications in order to start working, and yes i get upset over such statements like most of you on here will , but this are all words from people who doesnt know how much effort this job requires at times etc. Anyway back to what i said before... you better have some plans what you want to do next etc like some girls on here they are students etc, never say never as you might end up doing this for the rest of your life and still not knowing the reason why you r still doing it. Too much competition .. Less work.. Yes this happens to all.
And im just saying.. Maybe it sounds rude to you if it does sorry.. I just like to talk my mind i might be wrong for some things but thats why i am on this forum.. To listen what other girl think about a specific theme. Good luck though

I think we all gotten into this with the "notion" of making big money. When you settle in this job and you see that no day is the same.. But bills etc stay the same or even worse rise.. Then you start to change tour mind. I like the job as its not stressfull, i work from home.. I get up when i want inbetween bookings i can go out or do some house work etc. For me its ok if i can cover my bills, do my monthly shopping of things that i want to buy either for my flat or myself, and have aside for a holiday. Im not fooling myself that i can buy a mansion.. Be realistic girls theres people out there who have real professions and give alot of effort in their jobs yet they dont make as much as some of us might in a day... Think about it and then complain

No you didnt understood me correctly and it might be down to the way i sometimes express my thoughts, yes this is a profession although many people think it cant be coz u dont need any experince or qualifications in order to start working, and yes i get upset over such statements like most of you on here will , but this are all words from people who doesnt know how much effort this job requires at times etc. Anyway back to what i said before... you better have some plans what you want to do next etc like some girls on here they are students etc, never say never as you might end up doing this for the rest of your life and still not knowing the reason why you r still doing it. Too much competition .. Less work.. Yes this happens to all.
And im just saying.. Maybe it sounds rude to you if it does sorry.. I just like to talk my mind i might be wrong for some things but thats why i am on this forum.. To listen what other girl think about a specific theme. Good luck though

I wouldn't really want to buy a mansion myself. lol. I have been saving for a boob job for months now. You would think I would have been able to save enough money and get them done by whoring ages ago but that's just not the case. I think lavish was a bit of a strong word to use but was hoping people would get the gist of where I was coming from. Prostitution IS a real profession and we as prostitutes DO put a lot of effort into this job. I have thought about this over and over in my head and  my opinion would never change really  :( I'm only doing this for a short while, not going to make this my career so I would like to make as much money as I can. So just covering bills and food is not enough for me as I would not be doing this forever.

Thanks L88K and you don't seem rude to me ??? and I never said I didn't know the reason why I was doing it ??? I did however say that I would not be doing this forever. I have my plans on what I want to do and how to achieve it. No one needeth knoweth my business ;D  But is true, I can end up doing this job forever, but I can't allow that. I will fight!  :'(

WTF happened? I've just been ticking along on the bare minimum I'm happy with earning this last week and suddenly the weekend until tonight have been ridiculously busy, bouncing from booking to booking barely able to think in between!

Have they all been saving up for their Christmas treat or something? More of the same for the rest of the week please :D

Same here, it my first proper tour/ week back since I hurt my back and this thurs fri were quiet but I did have a problem with AT on AW and then sat & Sun were mental I could have done double if I wasn't so tired by 8pm
My phone was ringing through the night both nights

So glad to hear you are back working and starting to feel better Paris after your frightening experience the other month. I'm glad the punters missed you and are keeping you busy lol :-*

It's just very quiet and all my friends are quiet too. If you are seeing three clients a day then you are doing well IMO.

I don't know what's happened this year but I think a lot of people are in the financial shit. I had hoped to make more than a 'living wage' from this too but I won't lie, if things do not pick up I will have to consider a part- time job as well.

I am changing the way I work though in a last ditch attempt at making more of a profit by getting a work flat in the new year and I will give it 6 months.

Over -saturation of working girls and a failing economy just does not equal profit.

I had 5 bookings yesterday and none today and I am in a hotel. I should have 2 tomorrow who are regulars but I won't hold my breath.

The season of good cheer, NOT  :-\

I think they are being extra careful with money with the lead up to Christmas.  I had one who wanted to book asking if he can pay me with aw credits.

I have been really busy today so I am eternally grateful after a disastrous day yesterday (as in zilch).

There is no rhyme or reason to this atm.

I hope for ladies who've been quiet that it has picked up for you today. My friend and I reckon things will definitely improve in the run up to Christmas but we have cancelled our tours and are working locally as it's just too risky this year.

Do you think it could be to do with the length of time you're on AW? For me it has diminished slightly although I'm soooo busy, but could that be to do with positive feedback and guys get intimidated? I know guys have said to me that they're nervous as they're thinking they couldn't live up to my expectation, which is inaccurate as I take each guy on merit. Just a thought... As a newbie it goes mental and then filters out unless you keep adding pics etc (which I don't). I've got regulars that give me a fab living and I really don't want anymore to be honest... the odd one or two to mix it up I guess  ;D bit greedy? probably  ::) What do you think?

Yesterday was bad - only got calls from undesireables - and then I got two good hour bookings in the evening. I know I'd make more if I'd just hang on in the evenings more often instead of getting discouraged.

Today has been busy! I had TWO advanced bookings simply not confirm in the morning but at noon the phone started ringing. I've had two half hours and an hour and another half hour is on his way. Maybe I'll get another later - but Friday nights are a bit slow as everyone is out doing other things.

I'm at the end of my tether. I do rely on just AW as I can't afford expensive ads and I've had nothing but time wasters for weeks now. I had one good day two weeks back & now it's just dead.
I think this business is a losing game now.

I get so depressed with clients mucking me about and resentful that this has caused me to be in rent arrears.

Don't know what to do.

Anyone help regarding where I can advertise other than AW?

Yes the economy has improved over the past few years but it is now affecting our job more than twelve months ago I find that too.

Perhaps people are just being more careful as they don't want to overspend or waste their money.  We hear this in the media from intelligent sources so it must be true e.g. radio 4.  They may have money I mean they just prefer not to spend too much of it.

I am on tour in Kent this week and today is really quiet and has gone dead! I have only had one job so far today which was only 20 minutes. I was hoping it would be busy. Yesterday I did ok and had quite a few calls and texts but I dont get why its gone so quiet today.

I am here for another day but dont know whether to stick it out or leave a day early. I think the only option is to stick it out and maybe go home tomorrow evening rather than friday morning. Has anyone else been quiet this week? I am stuck in a hotel and dont know what to do  :(

Hi Sandra,

It looks like its not just me then. I thought it would be busier but it seems a lot of places seem to be quiet at the moment. Its like I feel guilty about spending any money on food as I dont seem to be earning much. It makes the day drag when the days are like this. What do you do in the day when the days are quiet like this :(

Hi Sandra,

It looks like its not just me then. I thought it would be busier but it seems a lot of places seem to be quiet at the moment. Its like I feel guilty about spending any money on food as I dont seem to be earning much. It makes the day drag when the days are like this. What do you do in the day when the days are quiet like this :(


I am watching movies or talk to my girlfriends :)

I'm in central London. don't know what's happening this December & November. Usually these two months my phone won't stop ringing (I sometimes needed to turn it off because I couldn't handle such volume of work). This is the first december in 17 years in the business that my phone is soooo quiet. Seriously... I was so much busier in August! WTF!. I really don't know what the hell is going on. A banker regular of mine told me yesterday that UK is suffering a recession and the banks have fired 30% of their employees and there's something going on with the financial markets, Chinese economy going downhill and the wars in the middle east bla bla bla....

WTF :FF

Dead.  Nothing yesterday and only an hour today (which was booked in advance).   :FF

Let's hope it picks up asap!

Post by: meetingdiversity on 09 December 2015, 06:59:43 pm
It was quiet all day with 1 booking followed by a 2 hour out call with a regular who extended for an extra hour.  I'm sat here waiting for him to come back.  Feeling above board now. :)

Had a 2 hour today and ive got 6 hours worth of bookings booked in for next week with regulars. Enough to keep me ticking over nicely but this time of year is normally the busiest for me with 3-4 bookings every day without fail

Gave up on Farnborough.
Phone barely rang this week.
Portsmouth tomorrow abd Friday, May have to work Saturday if it's dead cos only covered costs this week, literally made approx ?160 profit.
The apartment cost ?110 a day but with petrol and childcare really was rubbish.

Post by: Amy1984 on 09 December 2015, 07:23:21 pm
It looks like its not just me that is finding it really dead today then. I have only had one booking all day and that was only 20 minutes. I have made my petrol and hotel costs but it would be nice if I could make a profit, I dont know what tomorrow is going to be like. I was supposed to be going on tour next week but I am thinking of staying at home, it seems I keep wasting money on hotels and not getting back what I put in. It has been quiet at home which is why I have been touring. It has been so boring today and hoped it would be busy.

Portsmouth today-
Good start 2 hours and one 45 min.
But now nothing.
Trying to hang on here for another hour before I head off home.
Not waiting til 7 when its like this.
Don't know what's happening.
October and November was really good. December has been the worst month in ages and is normally the busiest for me to.

Is it just me or is the amount of (or should I say lack of!) credible work coming through just ridiculous at the moment. I work from an area of fairly low average income and have not had a single call from someone who isn't a time waster, chancer or freebie hunter in over a week! I don't seem to remember it being this bad in previous years. Is it just me?  ???

Exceptionally slow the past month, particularly the past 2 weeks, even a lot of regulars seem to be hibernating.

I believe it has a lot to do with the UEFA champions league. They are on every evening, it's finals now and Football is like a religion in this country. For the last couple of weeks every time I walk by the pub in the evenings it crowded with guys glued to the large screens.

The Champions League group stages have finished, and are/were played on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings for a couple of hours.

The draw for the next round is on Monday and the next leg matches will be played on the 16th/17th and 23rd/24th of February, then after that the 8th/9th and 15th/16th of March :).

Ah that bloody explains it and shows that (a) I know nothing about football (and could care less) and (b) currently I only have Freeview and presumably its on Sky or something.

The emails and phone calls I have been getting have been almost 100% TWs and cancellations. I have been that bored I've been doing prep for my Tax Return!

One of my regulars comes all the way from Minehead to see me for 1-2 hours every 2-3 weeks, a 6-7 hour round trip.

Essex was extremely busy yesterday. I managed to take on 7 bookings but had to turn the rest away because I was too exhuasted! Today has been quiet, though. 2 earlier and a lot of time wasters. Have a three hour with a regular later, so not too bad.

Unusually quiet today (apart from the usual timewasting prats) - not that I'm moaning as I've a slight hangover anyway. I'm going to have a hot bath and chill out this afternoon with catch up TV as I've got 3 bookings with regulars tomorrow  ::)

Oh god i hate this! I have an advance booking for Friday with a guy who has good feedback but I'm already getting the annoying messages with pointless questions and it's pissing me off! Asked me if i have face pics, i replied with 'there's a reason i don't have them on my profile or in my PG' and left it at that. Such a pointless question. Then asks what i enjoy and what i dont so i said 'See like list, and whatevers not on there i don't like'.
I jjust don't have time for this bullshit between now and Friday tbh and if it carries on i will cancel on him despite it being quite cause these things really grate on my nerves.

Yes it's got to the point where I'd rather cancel them than put up with the pre booking free wank texts, I've worked so hard all year that I can afford to turn the tossers down.

I go to oxford quite a lot but going to take a break from it until new year. think I've over done it.
Best to keep moving to different areas. If I had stayed I would have seen 2 people but I'll be damned if I'm gonna wait in an Incall flat for 6 hours when I'm half hour away from home. I aim to book 4 hours in minimum a day but it's not happening at the moment!
Friday was the only day I hit minimum target in 2 and a half weeks. Not great.

She said a regular client of hers said that in his office / business only 30 percent if the staff are working this week /last week because they had a very good summer they didn't take any holiday leave a lot of them took an extra week or so and are away over xmas /new year period

He said it's probably typical in the majority of the finance /banking  sector as they all apparently had a very good summer

How inconsiderate of them - they should get back to work immediately and get visiting ;)

I've had nothing but time wasters the past two days and 2 no shows! Seriously considering advertising in more places as I only advertise on AW and one other place. Also considering lowering my rates but really don't want to! Thought it would be busier as I'm in Central London. I guess everyone's saving their money for Christmas.

Last week was really good though.

On the upside it's nothing personal to us individually, as this thread clearly shows, so I'm not panicking (just yet) based on my last two days of yawwwwnnnnn  ;D

Does anyone else just get the feeling this how it's going to be now? Maybe it's where I'm located but 2 of friends have been doing this 10+ years and said the past 18 months it's been the worst they've ever known. I've stopped having daily targets now and any expectations of what I class as a busy week. I'm slowly making steps to leave escorting as it's just not what it was before.

Not at all, I've never had daily targets I like to keep a steady pace, the flexibility to do a few days a week,  being able to take time off whenever you want/need to etc, You wouldn't be able to do that in a 9 to 5 or shift work.

+1 i dont aim to make a lot per day , anyhow i make a lot more than my friends who do 9-5 jobs and im flexible to go out whenever i want , i work from home which means i can have my coffee with a cigarette whenever i want, do home work etc. I like the job just coz of this little things and if i can make a decent amount per day to satisfy  my needs then im happy. I have everything i need back home so i dont need to save up for investments etc. I understand everyone is on a different path in this job but sometimes we have to be thinking realistically and just enjoy life while we can

I'm with you Kat, It's only been the past two days it's dried up, but enough to fill my target if I could be arsed - like Kay, I'm low level (3 max three or four days a week). Maybe it's guys saving up because of the recession to buy crimbo presents. I've not long popped to the Tesco express and it's dead in there. Three staff and only me and another guy in there so I guess it's the time of the year - fingers crossed.

I'm in a location where I have had two previous HIGHLY lucrative tours. I haven't been here in six months so it's not that they're sick of my face or anything. The phone has been ringing but it's all either guys who aren't in the same town (saved my number from weeks ago) or they're fucking weird creepy-breathing wankers. Asking for all sorts of daft shit like what sort of porn do I have to show them and what's my day rate because they want to do coke. Two normal-sounding guys called last night to book today - never heard from them again.

Knightsbridge today for 3 days.

Great location, next to 2 tube stations.
Has 3 advanced bookings 2 of which canceled.
Had someone trying to get me to cut my rate for half an hour.
I have a 90 minute at 2:30, but I need at least 2 more today to make this worthwhile.
Had I of known it was going to be this quiet I would have taken holiday early.
I also have Guildford booked next week.
November was busy for me as was October and all of my tours were going really well.
It really is concerning me, it's never this quiet.
You know it's slow when you don't have a lunch time booking in London.

It's good to know that the law in NI isn't affecting business as much like thought. It's peak days from tomorrow. Fingers crossed things will pick up. But nearing Christmas should get busier with the hype. One ex escort said it will be busy from boxing day up until new year. As they go home. :) I remember it was busy up until the 4th of Jan spending thier Xmas money.

December's so far panning out no better or worse, volume-wise, than the previous year. However, everyone's booking shorter appointments, so the money isn't as good. I'm inclined to agree with "economy is shit again" assessment.

That's been happening to me lately too, even with regulars who know that I can't do short notice after about 5pm!

Literally can not wait for it as its just like being with a good friend... with benefits, doesn't really haggle my prices, just an all-around nice bloke, 10 years older than me, I love them (much) older, gentlemany type, old fashioned, gives me gifts. yeah lol can't wait.

Today was utter shite. I managed to get two hours. I had a couple of bookings never confirm. I had a bunch of weirdos on the phone. I had long stretches of silence from the phone.

Tomorrow I've got three bookings: one of them is definitely genuine. He's a regular - barring an emergency he'll be here. One seems very genuine indeed. Has good feedback, has placed a booking on AW. One sounded sincere on the phone but, you know, don't they all?

Indeed they are Hadley  ::) - but it's definitely busier phone wise for me today compared to how quiet this shitty week has been (other than regs and two new guys that had pre-booked). I'm hoping it'll be busy for all of us this weekend as it's the last Christmas shopping weekend, so lots may be possibly 'present shopping' and getting something for themselves at the same time (a bit of escort fun  ;D)

I had an utterly dead couple of days in my usual area (West Sussex). Today I'm in a new area touring, and my phone has been going bananas! With everyone wanting the same times.....

I advertise a lot of places but its very noticeable that some areas are great for AW bookings, and some not - here is looking good, although of course its my first time here. In West Sussex I get very few bookings via AW generally - maybe a rush after I've been away, but that's it. I think nearly all my regulars are from non AW advertising.

I've had a massive spate of timewasters & people cancelling this week at short notice which then leaves no time to give the appt to another client. I can't understand why they book if they're not 100% certain they can make the appointment? Also had a no show this week too. My block list is increasing big time.

Yes - plenty of wankers, wasters, and no-shows.

I did two and then needed to go out for lunch - there's a lovely pub on the edge of the countryside near me and I wanted a walk in the fresh air. Phone rang the whole time I was walking and none of them were at all understanding about my needing to eat. "Oooh... but I was hoping for something a little earlier..." "Aw... but can't you squeeze me in?"

I did manage to get one of them upon my return. Phone generally rather quiet.

The economic downturn in Norway is really showing - I just ran some quick calcs, since I took the rest of December off starting 20th last year. This year, I've so far had 85% the amount of bookings compared to the last, but I've effectively earned only 50% of the total last December's income, because no one's requesting anything but 30 minute appointments. Sigh.

Today seems to be turning into TW Central. So today I had 2 prebooked appointments, one cancelled with a spurious excuse, the other only 'cancelled' after I sent a reminder. They both exhibited minor TW traits so I wasn't altogether surprised but still annoying.

Also first thing I noticed a persistent missed caller so I texted back availability and my rates (so it was clear my minimum appointment is 30 minutes). Despite this he asks for 15 minutes & even tho I ignore him he still persistently tries to call/text....even when blocked....

Still time for a turnaround...I guess

Trying to be strict with myself as this flat has cost me a lot of money.

Maybe see it out for a few more hours Lou. You've got nothing to lose by hanging on in there for a bit longer, but maybe more to lose financially by leaving with the cost of renting the flat. Even 1 or 2 clients would stand you in a better position, so don't give up gal...

I don't know how long I can be bothered to wait around.


Thought the run up to Xmas would be busy. Apparently not.

How often do you return to a place. Could it be that you are coming back to quickly
Haven't done Guildford for a couple of years.
I did Woking for about a month 2 years ago, so it's obviously not that.
I have a 2.5 hours booked in for tomorrow but nothing for today!
Strange  ???

you know when you start thinking there must be something bad written about me, i checked, there isn't.
so at least i know it isnt that.
I'm just blaming it on men are spending their money on other things.
roll on tomorrow after a good nights sleep tonight.

its not the end of the world, i have worked hard this year, so have some cash to fall back on if absolutely necessary.

Did any of you girls tried to lower your hourly rate? I just check my local area competition and they all had done so, im thinking to do it today and drop my 1h rate by tenner... It might work

Trouble is i think it can then become a race to the bottom ( price wise )

What happens next time you hit a quiet spell will you reduce it again and again  It almost feels like the punters are waiting for everyone to panic and reduce the prices


Personally I would hold tight but that's just me I have a min amount  that I want per hour and I won't drop below it

Maybe take advantage of the quiet time and  try to rewrite your profile add some new pictures/ videos. Maybe blog a bit

My profile picture on AW is of me In a  really really  bright red dress it's eyecatching so it stands out amongst the other profiles that typically have black lingerie

Ive had a lot of clients tell me that since I started using that picture in back in Sept it caught there eye resulting in a booking

Hope it picks up for everyone

I'm in complete agreement with Paris - although I'm still relatively new to this, I wouldn't dream of lowering my prices, but that's because I won't see cheapskate hagglers that expect everything for chicken feed (although many do try)  ::)

But even if there was something bad written about you on line it wouldnt have this effect that quickly

Places can go shit literally overnight in my experience especially at this time of the year
In the past Ive gone to places like the Channel Islands that were ( excuse my French - fucking legal  gold mines )

Lots of rich bankers and no wankers ,& generally lovely clients   prices were decent , over ?150 per hour min as a rule

But it seemed that literally overnight it got over saturated with  loads of escorts charging ?100 an hour which is fine I only charge ?120 in the UK but factoring flights / expensive hotels and it's no longer viable.

Belfast was the same for a long time brilliant place great prices of ?150 upwards per hour and some lovely clients but again overnight it seems to just get over saturated with low prices

I know of a lot of escorts who no longer tour these places because it's no longer viable

My rule is if im touring abroad im not going to accept less than what I charge at home
Plus my expense shouldn't be more than ?120  a day which inc hotel,  travel , advertising ,  but not food as I have to eat wherever I am

Was pretty good last week came back to work today and its been pretty slow going.Pulled a 30 min in who was a nightmare.He rocked up 30 mins later than agreed then asked me what time I shut and if he should come back another time so he wouldn't be rushed actually over my intercom!Came up with my profile on his phone and asked if I was the lady he had booked (up to date untampered with photos on my profile with my face showing plus I wouldn't exactly be answering the door in a babydoll if I wasn't expecting him) said he had read all my details and I was meant to be good.Sigh didn't seem to know my rates and didn't seem to be arsed that he was so late.He stood umming and aahing over whether I was worth 50 or 60 (rate is 60)so I told him to have it on his toes.On his way out he kept telling me he was a gentleman and we shouldn't argue.Told him I was a lady so I wouldn't be slamming the door on his way out.Deffo a day for idiots ringing or even face to face.

Why don't you make appointments with all of them, and then who shows up, then shows up and who doesn't then is a no show? Then tell them sms or so that they have to wait a bit. Works on 30minutes appointments. I don't do this now, but have done this before when had lots of tw.

The trouble is if everyone does arrive then you have made a genuine client wait about and you can then end up with a reputation as a timewaster yourself not to mention said client will probably have things to do himself which means he cannot wait for 30 mins.Not fair to do this to clients when we don't like them being late for us.

Yes this is the reason i dont do it and never did it. I have now build up a reputation and i dont want to throw away everything . I might tell them to confirm an hour in advance and if they dont i will call back the ones who agreed for a last min booking or so i dont know i will figure it out eventually :))

Things are back to normal for  me, too.

I spent too much over Christmas and didn't work so I am in a bit of a hole. Therefor, I have imposed a "lock-in"on myself. I am staying in my flat and won't go home until I've put a certain amount of money in the bank. I'm not working 24-7 but just trying to stay focused the way I can be when I'm on tour. Luckily, I'm getting bookings early enough in the day and not being tortured by a silent phone that only decides to ring a few hours after I've lost the will to live. :D

Usually January is quiet but for me this is not the case at least this year, december was very quiet and i think this is the reason im getting a satisfying amount of bookings per week.

Personally I have found January very buoyant and better than December.  Pity I had a period the first week back and also did not feel too well so not been able to fully take advantage but will get back in the swing soon.  It was a long stretch as I had had 3 weeks off so it felt weird working again!  I had to turn away or ask guys to wait a week or so ......

I didn't find December exactly slow as such, just... poor income-wise. Everyone was requesting only short meetings. January has definitely picked up in comparison, which is totally unlikely the last December/Jan.

January has been good so far, I don't usually work weekends but have found my phone is really quiet on Saturdays anyway, not sure if it's how I've set a routine for no weekends but always find it wouldn't be worth it anyway. Interesting that a lot of girls are busy on Saturdays x

I sometimes work even on sunday and most of the time the weekends are ok especially saturday, if i didnt meet my target during the week then i work weekends as well. I dont have much else to do so for me it doesnt matter

Oh i forgot to say that the phone started ringing like crazy after 2.10 pm.. With weekend work its not like during the week in terms of the time that usually ny ohone starts to ring. During the week it always starts at 11 am even if i put my green light earlier and i cant understand why is that, while at the weekend is mostly after 12 on saturday and sunday vary .

Well I'm half and half really - December was my highest earning month last year, and January started well, but now... dead as a dodo.

Exactly like that for me as well. Almost earned as much as I did for entire month of December in the first week of this month. But I haven't worked for the past six days now :(

Hmmm Pandora 8-12 a week as independent?  I work for an incall agency in Vancouver Canada and I get like 6-7 a day....I was planning on becoming independent in march but now kind of scared if you ladies only get 8-12 clients in a whole week :x

Well, it's horses for courses - no way could I, or want to, see that many clients. It all depends on how much you want to work, where you are etc. etc.

I see 9~ in a month and that's plenty for me. It's honestly so personal and down to your working method, location, etc, as Kay said.

Ditto with both the above. Its not only personal preference but some have other commitments such as other jobs/kids, some may have medical issues meaning they can't physically see many clients, even if they wanted to.

And not forgetting competition, some areas are more heavily populated with wgs than others. Last but not least you could get 2 wgs of the same age, who offer a similar service, in the same area and yet one may do brilliantly and the other, not well at all.

Wow, I think the most I've ever seen in a week has been 8. My average week is about 4 or 5!
No way could I cope with 6 in a day! I's be burned out in like, 3 days.

Although I only have limited experience of working for agencies (and was outcall only) Having someone else organise bookings  certainly cuts down the stress of sometimes constantly having to put up with idiots on the phone/ timewasters/no shows.


It also depends on the duration of bookings, if they were all short bookings then I suppose for a young fit woman with no other commitments then 6 or 7 isn't that much really. A lot of other 'normal' jobs require that level of physical activity too.

The beauty of being independent is that instead of seeing 6 clients a day you could see 3 and make the same money as you don't share it with anyone. Also: You get to choose them.  With an agency you need to fuck every Dick, Tom and Jerry and that is a nightmare that leads to burnout.

Independents don't 'get to keep' all the money though do they, there's advertising to pay for, often a 2nd set of flat rent/mortgage/bills, or hotel costs to pay, travel cost if outcall, time spent travelling,  time spent answering the phone to any random timewaster, And there's no guarantee that the 'nice guy' at the other end of the phone isn't going to be a complete twat in the booking.

You have a point. In my case I work from home and deduct tax expenses, I don't tour (but that's just me, I'm a taurus) and my advertising is no more than 200 a month. Everyone works different and what may work for you may not work for me. i do spend a lot of time marketing and branding myself (and yes, time is money). I don't mind the TW's because I can smell them from a mile and cut them off after 10 seconds. I keep my phone conversations very brief and business like, same with texts and e-mails. My bullshit-o'meter is very very finely tuned after all these years. My marketing/website is my first filter and attracts the type of people I want. Anybody who doesn't sound the way I want people to sound is not getting an appointment. End off. This works for me because I have really nice clients. I also make my own hours, meaning: one day I don't want to work I just switch the phones off.

I love working like this.

I started in the industry (like almost everyone) working for other people. I was miserable and burnt out most of the  times having to deal with guys I didn't want to deal. After one year of being self-employed I knew that I would never ever ever go back to working for someone.

Being your own boss beats all.

I'm very pro- indie because this is my experience (very positive). But again: what works for one woman may not work for another.We're all different creatures 8)

Every girl and every town is different.

I would say that a very energetic and popular girl in a busy city like London could see that many clients a day. I can be that busy on a tour in London although I'm not that busy every day. There are slow days.

Some girls - quite a few in fact - are very happy with two or three a day, particularly if it's two or three hours a day, even if they need to do five half hour bookings to achieve that. That would be the ones who like to start at noon and be done by dinner time or just work 9-5 or whatever.

However, in my home city I would have to answer phones for at least twelve hours and see just about anybody who asked for a booking in order to do four or more a day, every day.

Same here, my overheads are next to nothing and because I saw multiple clients daily when I was younger and saved and invested my money I can afford to see 2/3 clients a day 5 days a week now. My phone today has been all enquiries and 2 pre bookings for Friday which I prefer, gone are the days of me sitting around in my stockings waiting for punters.

Since I've had my own place I'm rarely ever sitting around in my heels and stockings any more. When I get a phone call say when I'm in town browsing around then I'll answer the phone and arrange a time with him that I know I'll have enough time to get back and get ready. Unless I've been in the gym then all I have to do when I get back in throw on a tight mini dress, hold up stockings and stripper heels. For long bookings like 2+ hours then I'll doll myself up properly.

Escorting seems almost relaxing and effortless now. But then I do actually enjoy the job, mostly. Unlike a lot of girls doing this.

I've had 5 hour bookings this week. Enough to keep me ticking over comfortably but it's still not as busy as it normally is. Luckily my overheads are quite low. Not sure I could do escorting as my only source of income if I had large overheads as the pressure of having to get X amount of bookings each week to be able to live would burn me out quickly

Over 95% of my clients are incalls. I can only offer limited outcalls but in honesty some areas are better for outcalls anyway than others - in my experience big cities tend to be better, but other ladies may have had different experiences.

I've made ?850 this week now which is good considering how slow it has been recently. I would normally like to be making double this on a busy week though, but I can't complain at all as it's enough to cover all my outgoings plus can put ?100 in savings and also treat myself to a few things.
Last week was very slow and I only had 2 bookings all week. I don't think there's ever any rhyme or reason for why a certain week is slow for a certain girl and not for others. I might have been reasonably busy this week but whose to say someone who was slow this week might be busier than me next week.

I think you just have to accept that sometimes, especially at this time of year, it's going to be slow or even dead. Aside from experimenting with your marketing or prices, there's not much you can do.

Yes, I think if you can offer incalls you would build up a regular client base quickly as in my view most men want somewhere to go to that is discrete and so they don't have to pay for a room x

I very rarely offer Outcalls unless I am excruciatingly quiet. I don't like the hassle of the travel time etc.

Second day in Euston.
Full day of bookings. However all except 2 were pre booked, not turning down bookings though.
It's not busy, just steady.
Still better than my December though.
Yesterday was shit and only covered costs for my apartment for 2 days, so today's money is profit.

Me and my friend are having the worst 2 days ever! Today has been dire. I had one half hour this morning. Not even timewasters are bothering to waste my time today. Know I shouldn't complain but fuck me I'm bored!

This has been the worst week ever for me since last February.    8 bookings over the last 2 days and only 1 turned up.   Packed up early yesterday and came home.   It's the time wasters that annoy me most deliberately booking with no intentions of turning up.  So much so I've taken my number off my profile and asked boys to book me through AW.    Normally January is ok for me and February is dire.

I'm working in Witham this weekend for the first time ever. I've hit my target, but I've never had so many time wasters/discount hunters/ idiots calling and texting. Been a lot slower than when I do my usual areas as well.

Oh yes the pleasant polite guy with 11 inches...I let him book as I was curious because the biggest cock I've ever seen in real life is 10 inches.

Surprise surprise Mr Massive Cock didn't turn up ;-)


haha same, as suspected he was "help up at work" and was unable to make it lol.   no shock there.  only accepted to be honest as was a quiet day.  managed to pick up a couple of last minute bookings so no harm done and nobody missed out... apart from me obviously lol  :P

I wanted to post this in the slow at the moment thread but cant find it, sorry.

What the hell is going on, I have quite literally not had a client all week!! I reduced my prices thinking this would improve things, it didn't. I am available between 9am and about 2am, still nothing. I've had arseholes, timewasters, fantasists etc. A few of them got to the point of making a booking but then didn't show up. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr sob sob grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

So, I'm thinking of putting my prices back up, what are your thoughts people??

Try not to worry Foxy, I did had slow week just a week before - I kept my prices as they are, just added quickies which are not my cup of tea, but helps when it is slow. x

After 3 weeks of barely nothing and the phone not ringing, i made my target yesterday for this week.
Had one in for today and hes cancelled.
Finally get a couple of days off without worrying about the phone ringing.
Got my first tour booked in London in feb so hoping that will make up some of January's losses.
Keep at it girls x

London is a fucking funeral.

I had two cancellations, one of which was quickly replaced by someone at the train station five minutes away but hours went by with no calls at all.

The annoying thing is that I'll finish a booking at 8 and find I've missed 10 calls. All of them within thirty minutes of one another and none of them still interested. That has happened two nights in a row.

I should've just taken this week off like I'd planned to instead of booking a hotel for two days. In two days, I've made less than half of what I usually make in 1 day. Can't wait for payday. Doesn't help that the Internet is extremely slow, the TV doesn't work and every time i go down to the spa its full of either children or oap clubs so can't do that either. I've literally stared at a wall for two days and it's driving me insane  :FF

When it's coming to near the end of the month and you have to book a hotel for in calls or touring it is better to book for after 28th of month (especially January and maybe February), you are not guaranteed to make more after these dates but it will be a damn sight busier than 2/3/4 days before payday 😖

I am finding this week really quiet, I dont know whats going on! I am not on tour and I am glad I am not as it sounds like its quiet in a lot of areas at the moment. I know January can always be quiet but comparing to other weeks this week has been really quiet, I have only had a few calls in a day. I just hope it picks up soon. I have been playing online bingo to try and win some money but havent had much joy yet!

Post by: Roxy101 on 27 January 2016, 11:24:07 pm
It picked up a little for me after 4pm. Had five in the end today but because of yesterday's bust I didn't hit my target. But I suppose it being the last week in January people have less money than normal since a lot get paid just before Christmas. Also, seems like iOS Internet was down for a lot of people today, so that might have influenced it slightly ?

I'm sure it'll pick up again after this month's pay day :)

Fingers crossed

It's been an odd January for me. Flat out for the first three weeks I was wondering where dead January was and then this last week it died a complete death and I made a quarter of what I've made the other half of the month. Seems to be back to normal tonight though, so pleased as I was starting to get worried.

My phone has been ringing more but all with guys who want evening/weekend bookings, which I don't do.  Sigh.  And last night was woken up at 3am with some fucker calling me. Work phone is going off overnight from now on!

Actually had an enquiry from a woman yesterday who found me on viva.  She wants to see me on the 9th, I really hope she confirms.  A lady booking would be so much fun!!

I have a hotel room booked for incalls on Monday but I'm genuinely considering cancelling it.  I'm so worried that I'll end up paying ?75 for being bored out of my mind for 4 hours, and end up out of pocket at a time where I could really do without it.  The last one I did I had one booking, and that was in advance. Though I have a couple feedbacks now so who knows.

Today 1 bloke who confirmed an hour too late,1 no show,a blatent tw who reckoned he was going to book a hotel in Leeds especially to see me..and then someone with a very strong accent and slimey voice all 'darling' told him I was booked up..losing the will to live.

Got to be one of my worst tours ever  :(

Only had 1 hour yesterday and that was with a regular I see at home but he travels. Also had 1 cancellation and a no show. Then today just a half hour & no show.

Then to top it off I've come on my period! I don't use the sponges as don't get on with them so really annoyed. Visited the same place a couple of years ago and was really busy.

So later the phone will probably go berserk & they will all want sex/be put off that I'm on my period as that's what tends to happen!

I'm hopeless with Twitter. But these last weeks have been a nightmare.
There's always something that's supposed to explain "slow" days, Christmas, football, and so on.
But I'm at the stage when I think that while various events may have impact on the number of clients I have, there's another factor that has a genuine impact on the traffic I get: my advertising.
AW taught me a lesson last month, now I'm back and verified and my phone is just not ringing at all. So I'm thinking instead of my usual "things will pick up soon" I should probably go for "I'll make sure things pick up tomorrow".

That means moving my arse and working on my advertising. AW made me lazy and now I'm seeing consequences of being lazy. Amy's strategy is exactly what I'm going to take example from because I swear that if I have to update my aw profile once more today I'll end up in a mental ward!

Having a website does work providing you stay put in an area long enough.
When I worked in Reading only over half my bookings came from my own site, but now I tour Google doesn't tend to pick up on my keywords fast enough.
And linking it to directories etc will mean I get calls for different areas all the time X

Yes, I figured that the website wouldn't work so great with touring. However, I am now tagging pages with the names of my most frequent tour locations as well as putting my tour dates on my profile. Amy somehow makes it work, although she now primarily visits NYC and London. Those who travel all over probably would struggle to make it work.

My phone is ringing....fucking network keeps trying to sell me the latest special offer but trying to disguise the sales call as a " This is a call regarding your account, please tell us the last time you topped up"..

me " I pay as you go, why do you need my account info, its none of your business"

 them " well if you cant give us your basic account info to pass  security then were going to have to end this call now" >:(  ...hangs up

After I get a text message saying " Our team recently tried to get in contact with you to discuss our latest offers "   :FF

My phones been really dead today, had 2 calls one from a cocky youngster who I wouldn't book and then a call from someone listed as"twatty timewaster"
I called it a day about 1pm, I'm in my fluffy PJ's, no makeup and my hair up in a ponytail.

Well thank god for regulars. I've had barely any calls or texts today despite showing as AT, displayed number and local featuring but had 3 advance bookings all an hour each. They saw me through to 5.30pm. Really would like to squeeze one more in but it's looking bleak. Giving it till 7.30. Not much point after that.

I had a lot of cancelations and a lot of timewasting enquiries.
Plus, one of those weeks when your time is consumed by friends wanting to meet up, so I ended up with just 3 evenings free in this whole week. I made enough money to buy toilet roll and baked beans  ::)

It's really quiet for me today in London! There are tumbleweeds blowing through my hotel room.

Not helped by the fact that it's extremely windy today, and the window here doesn't quite shut properly. So just to add to the spooky quietness, there is a ghostly "Woooooooooooo" sound echoing all around me as well.

Honestly, Adultwork used to provide me ?200-?500 a day, I earnt nothing for 3 days. My overdraft is creeping up.
My theory is there's thousands upon thousands of escorts, and not enough traffic going through the site. They don't advertise!! Every guy I've met says they were told by a mate about the site or they saw a random link to it, it never appears on the first page of Google. They should invest the millions they make out of us girls on some decent bloody advertising!!

Adultwork don't need to advertise, they are making enough each day without the expenditure.  If the company is growing it is the individuals that need to advertise outwith Adultwork, AFAIK Adultwork doesn't have anything to do the Google for some reason.

No good having all your eggs in one basket. AW has been known to go down for days leaving the one basket girls stranded and skint and unable to work because they haven't had the common sense to get themselves on to other directories. AW is just an advertising site, no more.

That is a good point and I agree that escorts need to advertise independently too :)

However if you're paying to be on Adultwork and to use their advertising platform (which for most of us is ?6 Available Today, and ?1.20 displaying phone number at a minimum) - that on it's own is ?50 a week. For that ?50 I think that most of us expect some advertising effort to be made on our behalf.... even if we do decide to go the independent route too.

I agree they should be more prominent on Google.
The reason I use any directory is for their presence on Google, just like viva street back page etc.
I guess they have been getting some exposure on tv recently though   ;D

I had a cancellation early in the afternoon, then a decent one-hour booking. Then I got very, very tired and wanted to curl up and go to sleep. Instead, I went out for a brisk walk in the cold and some retail therapy. To my amazement, two guys who had called in the morning and hadn't sounded particularly sincere about booking tonight texted wanting to know when we were meeting. And I turned them down because my head wasn't in the right place (and I was out of my flat, not looking very pretty, and in no mood to rush around to get ready.)

Timewaster central in London this week.  Threesome booking cancelled today (no surprise), and I paid ?60 to sit in a hotel room in my stockings, updating my AW every three minutes.  My phone didn't ring once, and I got a text 15 minutes after I gave up and checked out.  :FF

Yesterday the phone was ringing off the hook all day (And I couldn't see any of them because I had a 90min outcall in the middle of my very few working hours), just goes to show how different each day can be.

I have been one grumpy hooker this week. I have a couple of days off now which can only be a good thing.

As for giving them 50 quid a week, I'm fortunate enough not to need to (the expensive features are redundant where I am), but back in the Dark Ages my newspaper ads used to cost me ?80-100 a week for a line or two of text with no prices, services and definitely no photies, so forgive me if I'm not quite getting the violins out :).

I agree Amy AW don't do any more advertising ( if any ) now than they did back when I joined which was 2007
moaning  about ?50 a week advertising cost when making ?500 a day seems weird To me
I probably spend ?50 ?100 a week on advertising when im working but ive always spent around this amount so it never really bothers me and im generslly pretty busy if ive got my act in gear
And im another one from the dark ages of newspapers where my local paper & trade it used to cost over ?200 a week so ?100. Week is dirt cheap and a bargain

There's a ranking thing called Alexa that tracks the most frequently-visited sites. Well, it ranks all sites in order of visitor traffic and so functions similar to television ratings.

Of the top UK sites to do with escorts/punting, AW is far and away the highest ranking. It's ranked 265 out of all UK websites. Punternet comes in second at 3,665.

The ranking list I saw did not include Vivastreet or Backpage, perhaps because they didn't fit the category as sites. Even if you got their rankings it's hard to say how many visitors are going for adult listings and how many for used cars, etc.

Ugh, well to top it off I've now lost all motivation even though I've now got an hour at 8pm. I don't normally work that late but got no choice really and just waiting for a reg to confirm a booking so fingers crossed.

Well i have a 45min at 5.30 and an hour at 8. Come 5.30 my last booking will have been 5 hours ago!!!  :o So as a result i am literally far from motivated and have no idea how I'll get through these 2 bookings.

I'm willing to bet no one has had as slow  a week as me. OK so last week enforced time off. This week:

Monday: zero bookings but OK its the end of my period I don't mind too much.

Tuesday still no bookings. Ditto Wednesday.

In desperation I reregister on Friday Ad. But all I get are complete knob heads.

Thursday and Friday zero bookings!

Which brings the total for this week to a whacking zero! I have a regular tomorrow night but not until 7:30 (yawn) and he's one of my least favorites but I feel forced to see him.

I give up I really do. The only answer is..... wine!

It's been a very slow month. And cam is also very slow. I was 2 months ahead of myself but now I'm dipping into that. Doesn't help that my dad wants to visit next month which will mean me not being able to work for 2 weeks as he will be staying in my 'office!'

My touring partner was in Northampton for 2 days and didn't do 1 job it's dreadful at the moment.    Hopefully pick up soon, I've found camming busy last two days.

Won't start touring again until March   ;D

I have found once the weather picks up (it has in this location) it goes quiet for a bit then it stabilises again.

I assume people may be fixing their garden or going out with the improved weather.  Even though it is only February it feels a bit like spring in the air.

Have had an email from my first ever client who wants to see me again which is great, as he was completely lovely.  A few enquiries for my next incall day but we all know how these things fall through. I took my phone number off of adultwork so I wasnt getting stupid enquiries in the middle of the night while I'm taking a week off, but I'm surprised at how few email enquiries I've had - and not one call via selectanescort, where I've got a featured ad.  I know girls who never ever show their phone number on adultwork and yet do extremely well, it makes you wonder where you're going wrong.

Apart from that, absolutely nothing. I am on enforced holiday this week so I shouldn't be stressing about it, I just hope things pick up next week. I'm going to get my site built soon and get myself on the review sites,so hopefully that will help. blergh.

Currently in Luton today and tomorrow,

Got a nice serviced apartment in the centre, not particularly busy.
Had one half hour and 1 cancellation and one no show.
2 more booked in, and nothing for after 3pm.
I shall go home early if it is this quiet.
Can not be dealing with sitting around all day!

I'm getting some real creepy arse messages today.!

After I ignored this guys text message  I receive yet another message from him saying " will be passing where I think you are soon so could pop in". I've given no indication as to where I am....  :o

God damn February!!! That said, I've got a booking tonight.....hmmm we shall see and a definite booking tommorrow morning.

Sounds great right? not really......if it wasn't so quiet I wouldn't be entertaining these gents the 2nd time round. The only positive is that my client  has paid for the hotel. At the moment it's really a case off " beggars cant be choosers"

Mega quiet for me. I should have just taken the week off really.  i have one booked in at 4 but really can't be arsed to do it now. I just want to go to bed. Also, It seems like i am getting loads of calls from TWs that I have saved on my phone as retard or dick from agessss ago. It's like they are crawling back out from their caves after all this while thinking I didn't save their number and wouldn't remember them  ::) And they are being so persistent calling me like everyday, sometimes I think they are out to get me or something  ??? I just feel like answering and saying "Listen twat, I know who you are, you've called me before, I know you are a time wasting loser now stop calling my phone and fuck off." But that wouldn't make things any better now would it? :-\

And I'm still getting calls from the timewasters in Essex (where I used to be).

Double bubble.  Joy.  :-\

Nothing today except cancellations and Tws tryna get me to go on fake outcalls ::) I swear someone's out to waste my time. Luckily TWs give off something a bit off key in their voice I can easily detect and my outcall procedures are strict and smart. lol.

However, I have lost interest in working this week. But i still need rent money. It's thursday and I have only had one booking all week. Can someone pleasse explain to me how half term is affecting business? Like if these kids are at home, do these men take time off to stay with their kids? if not, how comes nothing? I don't get it ???

Well for one thing people often go on family holidays at half term or other holidays. So they are not at home; or they are roped into child care and can't get away.

Same here.  Time waster central, only these fuckers phone about 15mins before their booking saying they running late.  Every fucking one of them!  Not seen one client yet, only money I have made has been on cam this week. 

Wish I had stayed home now and saved on the hotel money.

AW has always been poor in my area but this year it's gone from poor to diabolical. So if I manage to stay in the game I'm almost certainly going to change areas.

I do have other advertising but that's also not  bringing in much. Plus my regulars seem to be less regular!

Plus loads of kids around last week so I think okkk half term, but there's a fair number around this week too, can only conclude different schools round here half different half terms. Fabulous two ultra slow weeks not just one!

All in all a crap February so far.

I got the same amount of attention today  as I did when I first joined AW but 95% of these calls were TW  :FF

It's a real shame because today i've had some really nice clients but the phone calls this evening have actually made me depressed.

I agree. More than half my income this week has been from Vivastreet. Weirdly, I'm doing better now that I've drifted down into the old (non-featured) adverts. I'm getting guys who search for age/type/ etc instead of just browsing what's on the front page.

I'm the same.. I have had the worst month on record for no shows and just being dead, wasn't even covering my costs and was starting to get in to trouble so put an ad on Vivastreet and while it has meant even more no shows and timewasters than usual and an infuriating number of nonsense calls it has generated a few genuine bookings. Hoping and praying that come payday on Friday/Monday things get back to normal!!

Slow is not the word  :FF nothing all week (but last 2 days a bit tied up anyway)

Then today everything went wrong, a normally ultra reliable regular doesn't confirm, in a foul mood I go out for coffee, so miss a call from him around 5 minutes after his usual start time.  However no VM so I assume he's just phoning with an excuse.  Time goes on, all of a sudden I get a ton of delayed texts, including from my reg, seems to have been a big time hiccup with 02 in my area.  So he's already en route home (travels a fair way) by the time I get these damm texts, so no booking.  >:(

Then I get a half hour bookings........but he's a No Show.  I'm so convinced that everyone is going to piss me around that I really don't believe the guy who booked for 8pm for a whole.........gasp half hour, that I just had a glass of wine.  However he confirmed so whoppity do looks like one half hour all week.  ::)

Nearly ripped some idiots head off earlier with PMS rage lol Used to get lots of enquiries for this area too but they've vanished, aside from one timewaster who tried to book again. AW seriously letting me down too this week. Most of my inquiries are coming from viva & crazy oz. Lots of guys wanting to book me in my home town typically.  :FF Have made a minuscule profit compared to what I normally earn. Feeling frustrated, may sack it off & go home.

Slow is not the word  :FF nothing all week (but last 2 days a bit tied up anyway)

Then today everything went wrong, a normally ultra reliable regular doesn't confirm, in a foul mood I go out for coffee, so miss a call from him around 5 minutes after his usual start time.  However no VM so I assume he's just phoning with an excuse.  Time goes on, all of a sudden I get a ton of delayed texts, including from my reg, seems to have been a big time hiccup with 02 in my area.  So he's already en route home (travels a fair way) by the time I get these damm texts, so no booking.  >:(

Then I get a half hour bookings........but he's a No Show.  I'm so convinced that everyone is going to piss me around that I really don't believe the guy who booked for 8pm for a whole.........gasp half hour, that I just had a glass of wine.  However he confirmed so whoppity do looks like one half hour all week.  ::)
Same happened to me last wee! No conformation by 10am then got a text at 2pm confirming, I gave him a lecture he got the hump and insisted he'd confirmed and he had at 08.05am!

Yeh only reason I know he actually did was my phone puts the time of when texts are actually sent.

Yep me too I always do great in Bristol just about covered my costs Thursday so came home early.  Thank heavens for my camming last few days it has been so busy on there.  Daily Pay had been a god send.  Cancelled tours for next week, will leave touring until I can see signs of improvement.   Woke up with a sore throat Friday so will just take it easy next week at home and cam.   

I think the guys know it is quiet because they are ringing up offering stupid amounts (?40) to see them for 1/2 hr.   No thanks.

Is anyone else finding it quiet at the moment? We are in March now and it should be picking up but its still really quiet for me and not sure why. I have found Feb to be really quiet, probably more quiet than January. I dont know whats going on!! I dont know if its just quiet in the area that I am in.

I dont seem to have any motivation at the moment when its like this and I dont seem to be sleeping well either.

For some reason in Glasgow, the beginning of the week is better for me. I heard nothing all day and after a weekend of time wasters, I started to lose hope but from 5pm my phone didn't stop ringing, I was kept going till 1:30 this morning! That never happens to me but I figured go for it - had a fantastic time! Hoping for more of the same this month so I can get money together for a new flat!

Hope it's a good month for you all too! Xxx

I've actually stopped thinking about how busy I am day to day (especially as I'm low volume anyway) or even week to week, as there just seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. But monthly I've actually done OK so far this year - January earned almost twice what I did in 2015, and February about 20-25% higher; that said, it was still what most would consider peanuts.

Not a good week. My Monday client failed to confirm and because it's been so slow I stupidly decide to accept a booking from someone who'd booked before and cancelled. He was apparently coming straight over but never turned up. That's what slow weeks do to you - make you drop your guard >:(

I just want ONE genuine booking today! Maybe I should start earlier but I'm just not a morning person, it takes me hours after I wake up to feel alive enough to work

Actually had a busy week this week. If memory serves:
Tuesday I had 3: 2x 30 minutes, and a hour
Wednesday nothing
yesterday was busy with 7 thats including 2 regulars; mostly 1 hours and some 30 mins.
today had 2 so far, had a 30min at 12, a 2 hour at 3pm that was originally a 30min. I was supposed to be doing an overnight at a regular clients home from 7pm but he cancelled on me. He really pissed me off this is the third time he's done it to me now.

Wonder how many drunks and time wasters will be calling this evening for a booking... Friday nights is easier just to accept the texts/calls saying "I'm here" then give them my apartment number to let them up. Got one in a bit at 8pm lets see if he turns up!

Post by: trashbaby on 08 March 2016, 11:40:51 am
I'm so upset, day 2 in this hotel and not one booking still  :'( I spent the weeks food and Bill money on this room thinking I'd at least make my money back, being in such a good area, but I'm getting genuinely scared that won't happen now.

There's a possible for 1:30 but I don't think it'll materialise. I have a booking for tomorrow (my last day here) but of course nothing is certain until the money is in your hand.

Hard lesson learned, don't book hotels if you can't afford to lose the money  :'(

Really starting to think I'm doing something wrong in my advertising or something. I know my availability is fairly limited but I know loads of girls with limited working hours, all doing better than I am  :FF

I'm in Central London, Edgware Road. I think the phone is ok as I'm getting the odd call and text but it's all time wasters or enquiries for some time in the future. I'm updating my profile every 5 minutes. :(

I find London hit and miss.
I have had 2 bad tours, literally made nothing lift covered expenses for 3 days.
I didn't even turn up on the third day and it was the right decision as my phone was dead on the third day as well.
Sorry to hear you are having a shit time.
Just keep updating your profile and include your self in local escorts?

I doubt it's you and your advertising. Sometimes it's just the timing.
We all have shit days. Normally when we need the money!

There are two ways of looking at this.

Adultwork also have a limit as to how many times it will put your profile to the top of the list.Its a kind of time delay thing they introduced awhile ago to stop agencies sitting there all day long updating.Probably best to only update every 30 mins or so.

Ridiculously dead for me at the min and same for a local friend. It's been fairly quiet since Xmas to be honest and I thought March would pick up but it's worse. I'm barely even getting the TW calls or texts.

After a very up and down week I finally had a highly profitable weekend which was so needed after the past two weeks and it's still only early for my night shift if I got another two in before 6AM I'd be happy. I wish all weekends were like this weekend almost feels like old times from a decade ago, guys suddenly have money again and they are spending it with reckless abandon!

Norwich was busy for me last week and March seems to be ok, February was just awful worst ever I have experienced it was just full of time wasters, I'm so glad it has improved  ;D

Hang in there girls it is showing signs of picking up.   I suspect if you have had an ok Feb maybe March will be a bit quieter.

This weekend was extremely quiet for me in London. Only had 2 bookings! Usually Sunday evenings are quite good for me although Saturday's have been dead for a while. I did miss some calls though as I forgot my phone was on silent for a while, but still disappointing.

I think London was quiet over the weekend because of the sunny and warm weather. Always the case.
People were enjoying the sun in parks and sitting outside in the pubs and cafes

On Sat I only had 2 half hours. Yesterday wasn't working but looked at my phone at the end of the day and zero texts (from anyone including tw's!) and only a few calls, which is very unusual even for a Sunday. I'm working again today and no calls or texts yet. Very quiet. Really hope things pick up got a lot to pay for next week so I need good earnings from this one!

Yes my phone is very quiet today, too. Perhaps the sudden reappearance of the sun has something to do with it. However, when they get used to spring they'll get horny.

Busy for me in the West Midlands today. Last week was horrendous though, barely made enough to cover my bills. This week I've got 5 regulars booked in for 2 hour bookings each, and I've seen 2 newbies today. It's all swings and roundabouts with this job and there's no rhyme or reason for why some of us are busy one week and some aren't. It just seems to be luck of the draw sometimes. For all I know I might end up being completely dead next week and some of you who have been quiet this week might be busy. That's why it's important to save as much as possible for emergencies. Even if you can only manage to save ?10 from each booking it's still going to give you like a spare ?100-?200 or so each month which could be there as a buffer if you can't afford bills or food one week.better than nothing and not being able to afford to feed yourselves.
Hope it picks up for everyone soon xxx

Sweet fuck-all today!

I had a couple of phone calls from numpties. A couple of texts that never went anywhere. I went out for a couple of hours for lunch and missed four calls and zero messages. Perhaps one of those four calls would have become a booking but I don't know. Meh! I'm not bothered.

Things are so up and down at the moment. Had a really good tour last week and now on a short tour in London and on this my first day here I've had just 1 hour booking! Had 1 no show and a back up but guess what it was too late for him when I let him know my appointment hadn't turned up!

Got a half hour booked for 9 and another possible for 10 but fighting against tiredness at the moment through not doing much! I really hope these 2 do show but not getting ready until they do! Fingers crossed things are better tomorrow and Friday as this is really soul destroying! Not even any messages from A.W!

It is definitely quieter than a year ago for whatever reason.

Perhaps people have more choice of escorts to choose from, or are finding they have to cut down due to gloomy economic forecasts in the media etc.

I've found Jan and Feb nice and steady and this week the worst one of the year so far. My phone is dead so much so even the crackpots who call and text at stupid o'clock didn't call last night. If I don't get an enquiry or booking before 12 noon I'm going to switch my phone to silent and do something else.
It should be back to normal next week when they've been paid.

Seems like escorting really isn't the money spinner it used to be. I earned a small fortune when I first started 10 years ago. Could charge ?40 more an hour than I do now and I was constantly turning people away as I was fully booked. I still earn a reasonable living from it now but it's so up and down these days and I can't rely on always making enough each week to not have to dip into my savings

Just a load of time wasters and a no-show yesterday no actual bookings. Today woke up to a few genuine sounding texts, but none of them got back to me again after i'd replied. Also had a booking at 2pm today that was arranged earlier in the week but the guy didnt confirm, he did this last time he booked too, this was his last chance so he can bugger off now. Monday and tuesday just had one half hour each day.

Really wish I'd worked more before christmas when it was busier! I didn't expect it to go this quiet, really struggling right now

Hotel cost me ?63 and had an hour which was advance booked days ago so thank god I'm still technically  ?27 up even if it isn't much. Would've been well pissed off if i didn't at least break even.

what's up with previous no shows and Tws that you have already blacklisted calling? I have had so many calls from numbers that I've saved as asswipe or assshit or dickshit or do not pick etc from months ago calling me lately. Why are the all of a sudden calling? Maybe they forgot they already called? Maybe they know they've already called but think i have forgotten not knowing i've saved their number as down syndrome guy?

Jessica,

I have exactly the same.

Had two wankers not show today, and it's been Cheltenham festival week and I've only had one booking.

For other weeks it's continually dead, I could cry and I have.

I don't think there is a living to be made in this racket anymore.

Maybe other parts of uk are better but I'm not willing to go shelling out money for hotels and touring only to feel even more depressed. This stuff has taken its toll on my mental health, it's just a drag now.

Influx of foreign girls, men's clubs, swingers clubs and women doing it for free have ruined it for hookers.

I'm hanging up my kegs soon 😂😂😂

There isn't. It's maybe more ideal for students who want to earn a little extra for splashing out on party drinks. There isn't a lot of money in it anymore, hence to me it's not really worth doing.

I think it's sensible for us all to have a plan B as it's definitely not a reliable income anymore. Some months I earn a lot and I can afford to save a fair bit and live the life of luxury. And other months I'm scraping by. I'm in the early stages of setting up my own business doing something completely different so fingers crossed it all works out. I'll still continue to escort occassionaly for a top up of money each month, but doing it full time has completely lost its appeal now.

I've been doing this 10 years and have lots of regulars. They all tell me that they are struggling for money like never before the past year or two, and just don't have the disposable income for seeing me much anymore. I think it's going to end up being the case that more and more escorts are going to have to lower their rates substantially to be able to get any work at all. Not something I want to end up having to do so I'm planning my exit strategy pronto. Don't get me wrong, I'm still living comfortably and can afford a decent lifestyle for minimal effort. However it's really not as lucrative as it used to be and the whole point in me choosing this profession was so I could be completely stress free with money

In my experience March is always the quietest month - January is fine, February's steady and then March is crap.

I did a ten day tour at the start and I'm spending the rest of the month getting some of the renovation work on my home done and just running back and forth from my flat when I've got advance bookings. This March is turning out better than last year, having said that (which is why I decided to sack it this year and do something useful with the extra free time :)).

Last year March was better for me than January and February (January was really shite) - but I did have a tumbleweed period in the middle third. This year, I did better in January and February, but this month has been pretty crap; however, I've been ill and busy in my other job, so perhaps lost a couple of bookings that way. I just can't take a risk of having my time wasted if I have a big deadline in my other work.

It's definitely been steadier these last couple weeks. I haven't been working much due to a very nasty bout of thrush :( but the enquiries and advance bookings have been coming in nicely.

I've got a weeks break from the kids coming up soon so I bloody hope it's busy, need to make a wedge while I can be flexible!

lots of enquiries but all time wasters.  Thought I had 5 hours worth of bookings yesterday but all turned out to be TW or cancelled.  I've got the green light on again today and it feels a bit pointless - and just this minute had a cancellation for today because he decided he didn't want a girl with tattoos and piercings. Well then don't bloody well contact someone who quite clearly states she's tattooed and pierced!! It's not like there's a shortage of prostitutes in London ffs  :FF

Although I did get a nice long booking in for next week, a lot of girls I know have seen him and he seems very reliable and nice and gentlemanly so I'm really looking forward to that, I just hope I can pull some more in this week.  The week after next, my kids are back and it's a week more of half term so zero earnings for me :(

I've taken the holiday weekend off.

After last week I think I will be giving London a miss for a long time. It may have been that they're sick of the sight of me or it may have just been quiet in London. A couple of clients did remark early in the week that there were more seats on the train in the morning. By Thursday afternoon it was just dead. I went out for lunch and the pubs of the City of London were full of young bankers getting drunk. Clearly, those who had shown up for work took a half day. My phone did ring that night with drunk guys trying to be heard over the clatter of the noisy pubs they were calling from. I wasn't interested in seeing drunks so I turned my phone off.

I'm not working at the moment due to having a guest in the house. I have left my phones on as they have auto texts directing callers to my website so they see when I'm next available (should they bother to check). But upon checking to make sure the batteries are ok I've had less than 10 missed calls in 4 days :/ Hope it picks up on my return.

Had a couple of contacts from drinking through the the night, woken up horny or want to book you for our party type calls, but nothing more than a usual weekend.

Did have someone yesterday who wouldn't take no for an answer, constantly texting and phoning. Several times I said "No can do", he stopped after a few hours and being put into my blocker.

I accept 1 booking per day, and have had just that over the weekend - including a new client who paid a deposit, and 1 regular who paid in advance in full.

Depending upon where you live in the country it may still be Easter school holidays next week.  It is where I live.

Got the monthly due too next week which makes a change as normally it arrives just after the school starts again lol.  I wish it would just disappear and leave me alone but no such luck!

I'm feeling ridiculously sorry for myself at the moment. Left my agency at the start of March and thought I'd be okay going it alone, how wrong I was. I've been stupidly dead all month, where I'm no where near covering the overheads of the hotels I've booked. Took a week off, set up Vivastreet and backpage to go alongside AW and back in today, still not one job. At this rate I'm going to have to go back to agency work and I seriously don't want to but I was in the minus last month and can't afford to keep this up. I don't know what's happened, I seen private clients alongside agency work but now I'm getting absolutely nothing?  ???

Honestly I do think it's just the time of year.
Look at me I have the parents staying for a long weekend.
Parents said the journey was very very busy.
Came from Cornwall to reading.
Stop start the whole way.
Lots of people going away taking time off work to go on a mini break etc.
Also the end of financial year.
Things should (will) pick up.
My sixth year doing this. Really nothing to worry about. It will pick up.
Kids being off school will affect s lot of people, childcare, spending money on the kids, time off work, understaffed, just paid tax bill etc etc.
I'm not worried, I'm just enjoying the break :)
Although phone calls today and I don't even have my number active on aw. Typical!!

I'm going to look at last years diary when I get home tomorrow but I'm sure I was busy this time last year. It's not helping that every girl in the NE seems to be fully booked. Have a potential booking in the morning which will cover the hotel today and think I'm going to join an outcall only agency so at least when I'm not actually working, I should be able to make a bit of money. I'm counting down the days until summer, I was crazy busy last year so hopefully it's the same this time around :)

im not in the NE.
I cover south, however this monday and tuesday i went to birmingham and i experienced the worst tour i have ever had.
Like it was completely dead, enough to cover my costs only, and if i wanted to work through the night (fine) but i don't work through the night.
Start at 10am usually, and i didn't get a client until lunchtime. cancelation straight after and nothing to replace it.
first time there, so expected to be reasonably busy, but went into the city centre to do some retail therapy instead and it was just packed with families.
since it was so quiet i thought i may as well spend time with my child, since its easter hols and start back next week.
tours cost me money, because of childcare as well as the accommodation and petrol.

London is really quiet in general at the moment, the tube was only 3/4 full at 8.20am, whereas normally I need to wait for a few trains to go past before I can even put my foot in. Also, over the last couple of weeks, I went to a few of those 'booked 3 months in advance' restaurants, without making a reservation, just coming off the street  :o and they were not full either.
I am not complaining about lack of work, as I have a lot of regulars, just surprised how many people go away for Easter

I am not complaining about lack of work, as I have a lot of regulars, just surprised how many people go away for Easter

100% agree.

Only two calls today both from private numbers. I've been watching TV in my PJ since 1pm. When they are ready they'll start phoning again. I can see it not being until next week.

I've got an hour a 730 but I've got my doubts about him turning up, today I've had some awful guy I don't want ever see again ring over and over and a few that sounded like english was their 9th language.

Looking at last years diary the end of April and May were brilliant so I'm praying that happens this year

3 clients today. Well under target. Dead phone. Bookings today were pre booked. Literally three calls and that's it, couple of stupid texts.
Lucky one was for 2 hours so made a decent amount but not good for an 11am start. Sat around for ages.
I have another 2 days in London (wish I just took the time off) can't wait for next week either!

Slow isn't the word! Another absolutely dead day for me in Leeds. So 2 days and not 1 booking! On my way home now and even though I planned on taking the weekend off will have to work at least tomorrow now and probably Sunday although I'm on a very short fuse and I'm afraid timewasters will get the better of me!

This week hasn't been too terrible. I knew I had a dinner date on Monday night and didn't bother to work earlier in the day. Then I took Tuesday off (but missed almost no calls/messages). I managed two or three bookings Weds, Thurs, and today. The phone didn't ring a lot but at least I managed to do the minimum I needed to make this week. I'm not sure if being very motivated instead of tired/not-arsed would have made much of a difference. I'm going to work tomorrow because I'd like a bit more cash before going on tour next week.

I am nervous about next week. SURELY it will be better, right?!

Today picked up for me,
However a regular place for me and everyone I saw I had seen before-- besides 2 new clients.
Without the regs it would have been an alright day.
Pay day today for some (my oh got paid today)
And kids back next week. I'm sure it will pick up!
London for me was dead. Managed to get only 3/3.5 hours per day (which is well under target because of my expenses) I won't be doing a tour of London in the holidays again. That is for certain.

Apart from the fact that as said 40 plus guys will still have children,alot of grandparents will also be looking after kids during the hols so that will take away some of the maturer clients.Also alot of people whether they have kids or not to think about will choose to go away for Easter and so will have abit less money knocking about.I too have had the odd fluke during the holidays the last 2 six week holidays I was as busy as usual for most of it but then died straight after but in the whole alot of us will be less busy when the kids are off school.

Also, another factor to consider is people without kids can't escape work the same coz they're too busy covering for their colleagues with kids who have taken time off.

and it's financial year end for a lot of companies

Monday was insanely busy. Tuesday was exactly as busy as I like. Yesterday I had fewer calls and then a couple of no-shows so I did less than I would like. Today... my phone has only rung/pinged a little and it's all been twats.

I didn't mind as I had a rough tummy after breakfast so wasn't in the mood to take bookings. Now my tummy is better and there's nothing happening.

I'm going for a nice walk and getting lunch and when I come back everything will be great. I say so!

I'm getting one or two bookings each day so I'm ticking over. Making around ?750 each week so I can't complain but i was earning double that at least a year or two ago. I think it's possible to still earn good money from escorting but it's certainly nowhere near as lucrative as it was ten years ago. I used to easily be able to see 5 clients per day without fail from minimal advertising back then. My only advice now would be to save even ?10-20 from each booking you do so you have a small pot of emergency money if you ever have a really quiet few days. And if things don't get any better then maybe look for a part time job which would pay enough to cover essentials like rent, bills and food. You could then escort on your days off or in the evenings for all your extra money. Or there's always webcamming to supplement income. I'm in the early stages of setting up my own business doing something I love as I feel the time is coming closer and closer that escorting will no longer financially support me on its own.

Things are slow here its getting slower each year goodness knows what next will be like. Think its time to find another source of income soon. I can't live like this. Escorting  used to be busy all the time. The fun has gone might as well do a civy job. My motivation  has complete gone dead these days right from in the morning. I feel like escorting is my life right now torn between the money and a civy job.

Does any one else feel simular?.

I should have an overnight if he confirms. This would ease the pressure to say the least.

Well I can't just go off and get a job just like that as I have a son to bring up and take care of alone.

I think for as long as I show my number on AW between that and my other advert I usually get by ok.

We can't all go off and work in the evenings and do as we please!
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?

Post by: L88K on 14 April 2016, 04:29:56 pm
I also thought at times to get a part time job just so i can pull things togethet at times when its slow, but the jobs i found were paying very low rates so it wouldnt add much to my income atm and it will not be enough to cover my rent plus bills. Maybe i will in the future i dont know for sure, but all those girls charging less than the avwrage fee an hour in some areas really doesnt help the rest of us for sure
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: meetingdiversity on 14 April 2016, 04:42:33 pm
I rarely do over night bookings but need the money. I was just saying how slow times are. I tried once before to go civy but then backed out after a few interviews. Hmm... Hope it picks up for others who are quiet.

It's almost like shooting myself in the foot after the opportunities. Instead it is a constant thing of changing my mind all the time.

Talking to civy about this they don't seem to understand that escorting  is a money addiction and all the rest. It gives me confidence in a way and routine.

Hi Ladies

Well after today's idiots (Ive had 4 no shows since 1pm and only done 1 hour) Im thinking about retiring and just webcamming.  I am sick to death of the bloody morons that keep booking and then not turning up.   I have doublebooked someone for this evening and I don't feel good about doing it but Im so sick and tired of punters not turning up and not letting me know.   Im starting to get depressed Ive never known it so bad and to be honest Im doing really good in camming at the moment.    I can cope with it being quiet but I just cant deal with these morons any longer.

After today I think Im gonna take some time off, its wearing me down and Im no spring chicken anymore lol.

I have rearranged the two bookings for later, shame these guys spoil it for the genuine boys - I'm hoping at least 1 will turn up :-)  it has improved in the last hour.   

Oh some guy wants to book me and Alicia overmight for ?3k each, I couldn't stop laughing which has cheered me up.  Apparently he is on his way lol

I had an hour and three half hrs yesterday, and 2 cancellations. One of the half hrs turned up with practically half the fee.. So i did a very minimal service in a very disgruntled fashion and promptly blocked him as soon as he left. I am getting loads and loads of stupid time waster enquiries at the moment. It is so bloody annoying.  :FF

3 bookings this week. 1 half hour, 2 hours. Not worth doing the job anymore. Been quiet for 6 months really. Odd weeks hitting my targets, the rest just scrapping by. I used to clear 10-15 clients a week, now lucky to see 5-8. Crap crap crap especially as theyre mostly half hour bookings :(

My first day back after a bit of time off.

1 hasn't confirmed
1 that I needed to cover hotel expenses cancelled

It's too late for free cancellation on my hotel now so I might as well go in and give it a go. I've renewed and updated my backpage, viva street, PTMY and have phone showing on AW and available today.

Phones been ringing but I'm at home and can't answer atm so have nothing booked in, I hope to god I get some once I'm at the hotel otherwise I'm seriously considering packing in this indie work altogether and going back to agency work

I'm worKing today to try and get a head start on next week, I've done a half with a reg and missed a call during that booking but that's been the only one so far
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: geordie on 17 April 2016, 07:48:05 pm
Once I was checked in to my hotel and able to answer the phone, calls were pretty much none existent. Sod's law.

Had three clients all ringing for the same time, two regs and one newbie. Because the newbie rang first I accepted his booking and surprise surprise, 15 mins before he was due he cancelled. Thankfully managed to get one of the regs who rang, to book 90 mins last minute so the stupid newbie done me a favour.

First time in fucking ages I've doubled my overheads, sounds ridiculous being really happy about that but with work being so dire recently I'm over the moon that I've made a profit and not debt

From one of the stockmarket reports today:

"Last week the Bank of England said that concerns about the EU referendum had begun to affect the real economy, and the increase in unemployment announced today adds some weight to that hypothesis," said Ben Brettell, senior economist at Hargreaves Lansdown.

"It's possible businesses are delaying decisions about hiring and investment until after June's vote, which could lead to a slowdown in the first two quarters of this year."[/b]

I will say that it's surprisingly quiet here for me (just North of London.) However, my bad attitude means I'm turning people away for calling me "babe" and I believe I'm in "babe" country.

It's this all-of-a-sudden super warm weather. i had a very busy two weeks because It was raining cats and dogs and I guess people were feeling miserable because my phones were ringing of the hook. Two days ago the sun came out, temperatures soared and all of a sudden people are happy and enjoying the outdoors so my phone doesn't ring anymore.

Phones been ringing none stop today although I'm outcalls only until the weekend and they all want incalls. Supposed to have an outcall tomorrow from a RB I bid on but all he done was accept and send booking request, tried to tell him I only accept bookings once a phone conversation has took place but he ignored my message so not sure if it's going ahead. Also had a viva street client ring for a long social booking next week so hopefully it happens, if it does itll be the first actual booking I've had from viva

This has been the worse month ever for me. I usually make at least 4K a month, usually more, but this month I'm really struggling and my overheads are high as I work in Central London. Monday was busy but the past 2 days I've had no bookings. I really hope things pick up. I've considered lowering my rates a bit but am loathe to do that. I've put up some free ads so I hope that will help.

Sweet fuck all so far today.

I never say where I am when I'm posting on here lest some clever clogs try to figure out who I am. But I will say that I'm somewhere reputed to be very busy, not far from London. It's damn near dead.

Dead too this week. Suspect it's a mixture of the good weather and pay day still being a few days off for most people.

Compared to the past few weeks I've had a really good week, but calls are minimal still. Hay fever has fucked up my eyes today so I'm having to finish early today

Phones been ringing none stop today although I'm outcalls only until the weekend and they all want incalls. Supposed to have an outcall tomorrow from a RB I bid on but all he done was accept and send booking request, tried to tell him I only accept bookings once a phone conversation has took place but he ignored my message so not sure if it's going ahead. Also had a viva street client ring for a long social booking next week so hopefully it happens, if it does itll be the first actual booking I've had from viva
Stupid RB client sent me a message pretending he's just seen my message asking him to call me and said its too late now as he has a confirmed booking with someone else  :FF why accept my bid then? Imbicile

On the plus side I'm returning to agency work part time when my exams are over and the owner just sent me a message asking if I want a booking with a couple for a few hours tonight

Yes it is, seems to be a common theme lately, as soon as I'm not available people want to book but when I have got the time/inclination nobody wants to :-(

I could have had a 2 hour outcall an hours drive away at 2.15...But he wanted me to meet him for drinks in the hotel bar wearing red stockings, see through blouse with see through bra and to arrive dead on 2.15, not 2.30. Ffs I'm very obliging with outfit requests etc but even for ?300 I'm not prepared to look like a complete cunt in public lol, and his voice/accent grated on me too so I declined.

I was dead. Then I decided to fuck off out of town and make some money whilst I could.

I put my prices straight down and got very busy. But my prices were stupid low. I didn't care. I figured "low prices means I can give basic service." I probably gave the same service as I usually do, as that is my nature, but I felt sort of free and like it didn't matter if they were utterly thrilled or not because 50 pounds is fucking cheap.

Did a bunch of those and called it a day. At least I didn't lose money.

Never coming back to this location again.

I should've done that at Leeds the other week but instead came out of it having lost money! However I think if I had of gone too cheap I would've ended up resenting them and felt like I was giving it away! Can't win sometimes can we?

Absolutely furious as a client who I've seen previously messed me about once before when he cancelled on me for another girl, today he didn't bother to confirm or cancel, he's read my message but not bothered responding. Thankfully it's an alright day, just had a quicky and got two half hours coming later on. Phones been really busy for once!

Haha - 'Hey hun wanna fuck ??? Oh wait, hold on, cheese cake?!!!!!!!!, fuck it! Never mind i've got more important plans.' Best plan really haha

Yea it's been pretty bipolar for work this April. BUSY slow BUSY slow. My moods cant keep up.  It's kinda funny looking at my accounts book  like a lil disco. Sometimes I wonder if the regulars hold out just to see what housework I start on this time. Oh you've potted 15,000 plants sheesh how slow have you been.

So far today I've done an hour this morning and have an hour at 5.45pm. Hoping i at least get another hour in before then but everyone who's phoning i don't like the sound of and i just can't bring myself to see them  :-\ :FF
Where's all the regs at?? Sounds bad but i can't stand seeing new people anymore. I seriously dread it when I have to. Not a good way to be  :-\

Post by: xSweetCheeksx on 23 April 2016, 12:40:39 pm
So I've possibly just lost myself a 1.5hour booking cause of how much I doubt people  :D ::)
Basically it's a guy on AW, he only has 1 feedback but it's good feedback which is the main thing. I asked him to call me which he did and he sounded really young. I don't see under 30s so asked how old he is, he said he's just turned 30. I asked him what he wanted to do during an hour and a half cause let's face it, it's a long time especially when you've never met them before. He was like "relax ect...". So after that he said he'll call back in 10mins when he's had a think.
I know it might sound off putting when you ask them what they expect out of 1.5hour but the point is it's a long time and i just thought if he's new to it all maybe he doesn't know what the best amount of time is plus no way am i shagging for the full 1.5hour!

Hi everyone

I've been escorting on and off now for about 5 years. It's always been pretty up n down (excuse the pun lol) but for some reason, in the last 10 days I have not had a SINGLE booking :'( :FF

The 1 or 2 texts and calls I've had have been from timewasters. The only time my phone has rung was this weekend just gone when I happened to be away celebrating my birthday so wasn't available.

I have my profile featured locally every day on AW. My bills are starting to mount up and I'm panicking. I don't want to go on tour as my last few attempts were disastrous and I ended up losing money.

I'm just curious to know if anyone is experiencing this slump or is it just my bad luck?? Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanx  ;D

I am definitely much quieter but I have a 'real job' and do this as an additional income!

I use viva street and I find that is quite helpful xxxx

I'm gonna get my own website sorted soon and got on every website I can within the first few page of google. I dont like sitting around not doing much. Ive updated my profile to add my fun personality to it as well.

as writing this had a man ring and book for 1 hour. hopefully it does pick up!

I've had a busy three days - today especially so. I'm in the mood for quickies and half hours and I've had four quickies today in addition to some longer bookings. All but one of them were done in under ten minutes. Two literally spent longer dressing and undressing than having sex. That really suits the mood I'm in lately. If I thought I could stay steady I would happily do nothing but them.

However, the two hours I had booked in for this evening didn't confirm and now the phone has gone dead, as it usually does early on a Friday evening. I'm not sure if I'm relieved or disappointed.

London is very quiet for me at the moment. After 2 crazy busy weeks, this week is very quiet. The odd 1 hour here and there, enquiries for some time in June ??? plus my regualr timewasters clogging my inbox.
Of course it's all to do with the warm weather, everybody is sitting outside in pubs and restaurants. Usually gets busy after a few days of warm weather, when the novelty of nice temperatures wears off.

Regulars are keeping me going at the moment I'm just grateful there are so many of them or I would be panicking. This thread is descending into more misery and despair every week and it's very worrying especially since all of us ladies are located in every corner of the country and we all appear to be struggling in one way or another.

I hope my regulars don't stop booking since I haven't seen a new client in nearly a fortnight now and I hate relying on regular clients as they are not reliable at all.

Dead on Thursday, busy-ish on Friday, dead yesterday and probably dead today from that gorgeous weather. My worst London tour yet and I got a brilliant location this time - a lot of guys weirdly making jokes about being skint this month ect as well, May is generally a crap month but I agree with everyone who has pointed out the decline every year. 2 years ago I would be upset if I seen less than 4 clients a day, now I'm lucky to get half of that. Away to Ireland to to tour for 2 days tomorrow but I'm keeping my expectations extremely low - think I'm going to have to miss my holiday to Greece now :(

Ouch, have you thought about camming or increasing your content, I make about ?300 a month on content alone, which pays for my featuring etc and then I have a pay out at the end of the month that pays for my hotel when touring.

Fully booked today for the first time in ages. 2 hour booking, 15 mins on his way and a 30 min later. No doubt it'll be dead tomorrow as its always the case for me - one good day then one shit day.

Think I'm starting to face facts now that the days where I could easily earn 1k a week are over. I'm still earning more than I would in a civvy job, but not much more. And it's starting to become a daily stress because of the unreliability of whether I'm actually going to earn enough money to pay bills etc.
I have some savings but the whole point in them is for a deposit on a house that I've worked really hard to save up. I don't want to end up having to use it just to survive.
Going to be planning my exit from escorting as soon as I can as it's no longer a fun, lucrative way of life for me anymore.

Monday and Tuesday- Luton, full of assholes, time wasters, no shows- never again. Phone rang AFTER advertised hours  ::)
Today fine Oxford. 2 hour booking and 2 half hours and one no show. minus the room, childcare and diesel, it was just OK.
Could have done a couple more but didn't have the patience to stay any longer.

It seems that to make good money, i need to work longer hours, but i just can't, not with a family. I need to be home in the evenings :(

Louise I am the same as you I have to pick up my son and from the autumn it will only get worse i.e. he will be home 310 pm at least twice a week!

I will do two Saturdays a month to offset (hope this strategy will help lol).

A few clients wish a 330 pm appointment so those will be out.

I have to say most are lunchtime or morning time however so it shouldn't make my situ any worse.

I used to get way more interest and more work though hope it will improve.

This week I have only had timewasters and pointless queries off all 3 sites I am on.  As if men can't read English all of a sudden!

I've found it pretty good this week. Last Saturday I had no advance bookings. I only look for max 1-2 a day 4 or 5 days a week due to my full-time civvie job ( plus I have a nosey neighbour so want to keep traffic low).
Scotland has had a lovely week of weather and I've had my regulars all come calling plus a few new guys. They have all pretty much said the same. Got the horn due to the sun! A few have turned up mid evening  obviously after a few beers but no one really drunk and offensive! Its been good and I've taken all normal sounding bookings. I've even taken a booking from a 24 yr old, tbh I've never had the confidence to go that young before thinking that they will be to picky and I won't measure up but he was ok. Had one who couldn't finish but he said that was normal. He was 29 but i suspect i wasnt for him but he was pleasant enough and told me all his girlfriend issues ( ive got big shoulers and let them all greet)
One of my once a month regulars turned up in shorts, jeezo. Enough said. Varicose veins on show that I hadn't even really thought were that bad before.
Rain is forecast from Tuesday though for days, Not good!
The plus thing is that I bumped into nosey neighbour yesterday and we had a good chat
Keep your friends close and you're enemies closer. ;D
She did question one guy before on his way up the stairs. It freaked me and him out
But she told me when she goes away on holiday for 3 weeks...yee ha
I'm thinking a featured ad, a few days holiday from work and praying for sun.....

It's not just you, as you can see from the rest of the thread - don't get upset :).

I had a couple of regulars booked in for an hour and two hours apiece which was just as well, since everybody who rang on the day was either already blocked or a monumental dickhead.

I've never known it so quiet - ever. I tour round the country now as I had to give my work flat up as it went from busy to dead in a matter of weeks.

From what I can gather from fellow workers it is the same all over. The thing is that we are all different and offer different services in different locations so there is no rhyme nor reason.

I'm just being patient and keeping my fingers crossed it picks up soon for everyone.

Dropped my rates. A lot.
There are profiles round here ?70ph. I cannot compete with these rates.
Fucking diabolical week last week.
Yesterday was shit as well.
Can't be delaying with paying for rooms and petrol and making half of what I used to.
Going to give up this touring all the time if it don't pick up quickly.
Easily used to make ?400-?500 a day and finish at 5.
Currently half that after expenses. It's not worth it.

I have worked for 4 agencies over few years time + always were doing a bit Independent. Done different agencies and different locations. For me it was busy always at first - few days only, but then it was slowing down very quick. It was tons of slow days. Basicly still I'm independent work is better, less stress, better clients in general.

Today 1 call only. No bookings.

But I had one good day last week. Fucked about on other days then assumed I'd do of on Friday. Well! I was sat ready.... Legs shaved, makeup on.... from 9am until 2am and hot nothing. I mean, a scant handful of calls from time wasters and wankers.

Yesterday I had nothing all say until an outcall after 9pm.

Today seemed to get off to a good start with an hour at 10 but he refused to call when he arrived and acted shady so I sent him away.

I got a half hour at 5,then a no show and then a half hour at 9:30.

But I have sat around for hours and hours, groomed and ready, for three long days to get three hours of bookings.

Yeah, Fabulassie this is happening with me as well. On days I'm NOT working, or after my advertised hours people call and are interested, or so it seems. Then I think it must be "so busy" even if they contact me on the days I'm not working. Next day I'm working, I get ready and wait for the calls to roll in and normally it's nothing, around late evening I decide to quit waiting and eat something with garlic or onions..... then.... OF COURSE !!... someone is very interested and seems a good potential client.. :FF

It has thankfully picked up for me yesterday and I have 3 bookings today (if they all turn up) so I hope things do pick up for you ladies too.

I must say, I have dropped my prices at my home location and it does seem to be working. I do charge a bit more on tour though to cover hotels and travelling expenses.

It's such a difficult judgement call  :-\

Very up and down here the last month - good week, bad week becoming a norm it seems (based on hours 16, 6, 11, 7).  2 cancellations already for tomorrow (3 hrs) - was a decent week in prospect until that!

Reasons - I'm late 40s, finding my regular base has shrunk due to retirements and alot of business guys finding it hard to get away from work (I mostly work daytimes) so not as regular as they once were, some with looming restructures and redundancies.  Still some newbs and converting to regs.

Am mostly incall from home advanced bookings, so short notice are few and far between.  Haven't lowered my prices yet - holding out as are others in my area. 

I'm having a similar (financial year) to 2014 so not expecting great things until July based on that  :'(

The first 3 weeks of May have been dire. Ok so in some ways I don't mind as I had major personal stuff going on and health issues; but still worrying.

Then of course all my regs decide they want to see me in the same 2/3 days next week as its the last week I will be here for some time. All very well but really I need to pace myself due to said personal/health issues.

And potential punters who are generally poor in quality (indiscreet idiots not following a "common sense" booking protocol) he would get abusive if challenged and declined his booking; formerly genuine punters trying so hard to get their free wank over texts, punters resenting paying for sex lol 'couldn't just go out and date?"  Been busy blocking idiots, including boundary pushers / plain idiots / punters that pester between bookings, wanking presumably.  Punters who have no manners, think that they pay us means they could be rude and arrogant.  Loads of these.   :(

So things have been extremely quiet over the past month in the East Midlands for me. I've never struggled to get at least 6-7 bookings every week come through minimum. But it just stopped all of a sudden. I've had a look on adultwork just now and there's about 20 new profiles in the area I work of young foreign girls with amazing bodies charging ?90 an hour. They all have feedbacks from men I've seen before too. All makes sense now! Guessing I'll have to lower my rates to compete or start touring regularly to different areas :-/

Its the same everywhere tho some areas are hit worse than others. West/East Sussex has been flooded with young foreign girls who charge impossibly low rates, not just on AW but all the local sites too. Seems to have got worse the past year.

It's a toughie. I am going to be touring over the summer.

I've had a nightmare week. Booked and prepaid a hotel for incalls, got there and it was an absolute shit hole, seriously embarrassed to see clients there. Seen one advanced booked 30 mins as couldn't get in touch to cancel, so made a small loss there overall. Have hotels booked for tomorrow and next week with nothing booked so might just cancel.

Also touring Glasgow soon and only have two bookings in. Overheads are covered but I'm still panicking, don't want to rely on last minute bookings.

Not a great week.

Ended up 8 miles out of the city centre of Bristol and it was dead.
To far for anyone to sneak off in their lunch break,But I also did a check of competition- which I must say I very rarely do.
And I was literally double even triple some of the young EE's prices.
And I'm not particularly high rate at 80/140
Eventually took a load of services off my likes list and offered ?100ph just so I could make a profit--and it didn't make a blind bit of difference, as the guys that did see me were going to see me anyway.
So lower prices didn't work.

Cannot compete with low rates. My over heads are simply to high.
I'll be damned if I have to see 2 clients to cover my daily expenses.

Best to have a clear opinion and your candid opinion is great, Lushblossom.  Turkish next, I believe. How could that be possible? Poor migrants will put far more strains on penniless NHS hospitals and public services.  House price did dramatically go up for the past 10 years.  I often notice more EU citizens (from the European continent) were buying UK properties.  Now, UK first buyers can't afford any (especially in the South).

I know this is off topic and apologise for this Amy, but when I was in Brum a two months ago, one of my clients was a government auditor and he informed me that 2018 we will be hit by a huge recession again, hence why councils are not paying out for much or making many improvements and why ct has gone up they are trying to ensure they have enough money in the banks to see them through the next few years.  So all this bullshit we are being fed by Osbourne about house prices slumping etc in 2 years time is goin to be happening anyway.

Lets not forget Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Turkey are set to join the EU. Five more poor countries millions of poorer people and lots of WG's who will want to come over to richer EU countries and once here they will be charging a lot less than home grown WG's.
Before anyone says racist or bigot I'm not its all about economics just as Polish builders are cheaper than British Builders EE WG's are cheaper especially when they first arrive and this new influx from the EU is keeping our prices artificially low (I for one haven't had a price rise in over 15 years} some here may say charge what you want or what you are happy with but if that phone stops ringing you have to consider your options especially when you have an ever changing supply of dozens of EE WG's down the road charging half what you do.
IMO if we are still in the EU and these 5 poorer countries join it we will be flooded with more people and more WG's who will be even cheaper than the established EE WG's.
I cant see that as going to be a good thing for our industry.

I only work in the south and occasionally London so my comment is my opinion for the south as I have no experience anywhere else.

If you have EEs charging ?30-?50 for 30 minutes inclusive and I have seen rates as low as ?60 ph and established ladies charging from ?70 - ?100 for 30 minutes and average down south for an hour is ?120-?200 then I can see why the guys would go for the lower rate.
Their English sometimes isn't great, but for a quickie lunch time appointment I guess it doesn't matter, so they can see a girl near enough three times for my hourly rate. 2 hours and a quickie or whatever.

I am seeing it first hand,
2 English girls yesterday dead and at my other flat the EE ladies were still busy while this thread is getting longer.
 They charge a significantly lower rate than myself, and as I said I don't feel my rates are particularly high. About average for the amount of time I have been working, and for the amount of feedback I have.

Everywhere I go lately work is inconsistent, one bad week, one good week.
I visit a lot of different areas.
I had a few decent days in Southampton but I even had one (nice) guy say ?80 was the most he had ever spent on a half hour appointment. Says it all really.

I have limited working hours, if I worked until 9pm instead of 6-7pm I know I would make an extra hourly wage but I feel bad for being away from my child as money isn't everything.
Just hope that it goes back the way it was, this year hasn't been very good for me.

Not devestatingly bad, I am still making a decent amount of money per week, but it is a lot slower than it has been.

Post by: sammy s on 22 May 2016, 10:10:07 am
I also had a client recently who said my ?120 rate for an hour was the highest he'd ever spent and ?100 was normally his top range. I had a look at his feedback and he's been seeing all the EU girls for about ?80 an hour

Post by: mature helen on 22 May 2016, 10:33:56 am
If you have 3/4/5/6 EE girls working from one address they don't have the same bills or expenses an independent WG has so they can afford to charge a lot less.
These setups don't worry about the traffic either as they don't stay in one place long enough to care.
Sorry but I don't see it getting any better.
I have been an escort for 33 years and all I can say is this is as bad as its ever been and I think thank God I'm not in my 20's or 30's and having to compete.
I thank God for my small band of regulars and that I don't have many expenses to shell out for.

How exactly do they afford to live at those rates, really? I'm an EE expat myself but I have to charge pretty much same rates as the locals up here, else I wouldn't cover my basics. vOv
I'm guessing they just pop in for a short duration, make (by their standards) a bank and leave for their home country again?

If you were to live with 4 other WG's in a house your bills would be 20% of a single WG's renting that same property, lets not forget many EE WG's have pimps who will have a network of working flats and houses that they can then move the girls around the country and Europe. UK based WG's can't possibly compete with this (obeying UK prostitution law) charging what these WG's charge unless they are happy to charge half price and see 10+ men a day and have very scant rules on their security.

I'm myself EE, but my hourly rate is high for my area. I'm not going to charge less, as my living expenses are low. I'm always careful not overspending, but I do have family members I must take care of. It's been a great January. Feb, Mar,Apr - fine. May - if not my 3 regulars, it would be 0 earnings... Keeping in mind I don't advertise too much, and I'm in general busy with other commitments. But for me 10 bookings a month would be a good month. Anything above would be a great month. I guess I need to tour more..... As lately I get very low amount of bookings. I hope this make any sense, as I'm ill now....  :-\

I don't think it will pick up to what it used to be. 

Girls nowadays get about 25%-50% of the work we got 5-10 years  ago but now with the saturation of EE girls as well as many others plus girls who are just desperate for money, there is no chance it can ever be as good or the worthwhile/stress free job it once was.

On top of that there is less money for guys to spend and they also have less time to escape the SO 🙄

It's just life, sadly no improvement due, IMO anyway.

Which 'girls'? Where? Based on what? I'm sorry LL, but this is just more hearsay and opinion - of course it's fine to post this but please stop presenting it as concrete facts or first hand knowledge. And I'll also remind everyone that we have forum members originating from all over the world and myriad nationalities who are all welcome here, and xenophobic remarks will not be tolerated.

There have been women becoming prostitutes because they're 'desperate for money' since time began - it's nothing new. And frankly if I was only getting a quarter to half the work I was getting 5-10 years ago I wouldn't bother at all. This thread is specifically for people who are finding it slow to have a moan about it - it isn't an industry overview because the people who are doing fine aren't posting on it, not least because it would be bloody tactless and insensitive to do so and I don't blame them.

for me 10 bookings a month would be a good month. Anything above would be a great month.

The only EE girls I know charge ?150, ?180 or ?200 per hour. But that's just based on my experience and the ladies I've met. I believe theirs a market for everyone. Or maybe the sun has got to my head.  :)

There are lots of cheap agencies using adultwork .... They are manipulative and they tell girls to work day and night. Tbh if they charge ?80 an hour that less what I was charging in my home country  ;D
I must admit, England seem to attract all the cheap looking girls, poorly educated, pimps, gypsy etc. and they ruin business for me because of the same nationality.
A few years ago customers were much nicer and friendlier, now I get phone calls "you charge 130? EE charge ?80, you should do it too" thanks for the tip how much I should charge  ;D
My point is, I'm moving out, I cannot afford my expensive flat and everything clients expect me to have. All the girls here coming aren't good news... The decent ones are leaving and worse and cheaper girls are coming....

I have had so many cancellations and no shows over the past week.

It is beyond frustrating!

I had 2 booked in today. One cancelled with good notice - although this is the 3rd time he has done so in the past 7 days. The second was due at 3 and didn't show or even text to let me know he couldn't make it.

I have given up for the day, taken my make up off and booked a spinning class for this evening. Hopefully tomorrow will be better! And payday is around the corner.....

However, with summer holiday season approaching, I fear our clients may be feeling frugal as they have family vacations to fund.

Omg ! I cant believe people talk about EE Wgs as one person ! I am from EE and i dont charge pennies - and yes i have seen a few in my area that do it but even if they do that doesnt mean they get clients. Punters are well aware that if tou pay that cheap then you wont get everything included in the enjoy list/ i had at least 5 clients saying they been deceived by the low rates but will never return due to poor service. Some girls need to understand that its not because of nationality that you need to charge more or less , its the service that attracts clients , not all wgs do cim for example , the list may go on , and yes i hope uk doesnt stay in eu and more girls come over as it will affect the business but please people stop blaming it on us and stop saying we are CHEAP because we are not all the same person !

Indeed. The idea that 'EE' is an appropriate way to describe anybody when there are almost twenty completely different and separate countries in Eastern Europe isn't just ignorant, it's borderline offensive. Nobody ever seems to have trouble remembering that the UK, France, Germany, Belgium and others are different places so I can't see why they struggle with Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Moldova, Romania, the Czech Republic and so on?

I got fucked about by a no show for whom I'd turned down other bookings.

When that happens I consider double booking. But I know I couldn't stomach the stress of actually leaving some guy out in the cold.

However I may be less fussy about how close together I schedule bookings. They may have to deal with the "just a minute hun..." texts.

Many years ago one of my friends got peed off with similar to you so she just booked in whoever called.   One day I called in to see her and asked how things were going ... She had SEVEN booked in for two different appointment times 30 minutes apart and NOT ONE of them had turned up, so although we give up an appointment time for another person there is still no guarantee that they will turn up. Made me realise, go with the flow, first come first serviced, which is what others do now too.

I don't know any ways that are totally foolproof in this situ, even regulars and those who confirm bookings can let you down, it really is disappointing when it happens.

It is likely that they are not indies who have their own volition.  One punter told me he was nearly robbed by one.

As far as I know there has always been varying prices/service for clients to choose from. Its not fair or helpful to blame other nationalities for the saturation of the sex industry its just basic economics, more women deciding to take up escorting, as with anything that looks easy, everyone jumps on the bandwagon, then when they realise its not all sweetness and light, easy money a lot leave the industry too. As for the 'street walker' comment some men like that look/style, each to their own.  :)

Also as I think Amy said once spending ?100+ on something where you're not actually taking something away is a lot money to spend. So someone choosing to spend ?80 for an hour doesn't make them cheap or the girl for charging that. I dropped my hourly rate down a year ago because it was either be more competitive or struggle to pay my rent and bills

Right. To those continuing to post offensive, bigoted and xenophobic comments (and to whom I and my posts are apparently invisible) there will be no more hints and no more warnings. It stops now or further action will be taken.

Exactly. In August I'll be going to a film festival I go to every year; the pass will cost me ?195 alongside travel and five nights in a London hotel. I've just spent nigh on ?60 on cinema tickets for something else this morning which is also going to mean an expensive hotel stay - everybody has their own ideas about what constitutes good value and the figure itself doesn't have a lot to do with it :).

Many years ago one of my friends got peed off with similar to you so she just booked in whoever called.   One day I called in to see her and asked how things were going ... She had SEVEN booked in for two different appointment times 30 minutes apart and NOT ONE of them had turned up, so although we give up an appointment time for another person there is still no guarantee that they will turn up. Made me realise, go with the flow, first come first serviced, which is what others do now too.

I don't know any ways that are totally foolproof in this situ, even regulars and those who confirm bookings can let you down, it really is disappointing when it happens.

I did that one afternoon. Said yes to anything for 5 or 6. Everyone showed but a couple waited a couple of minutes  one was so quick it barely mattered and I offered one  a discount to wait thirty minutes. I made the money of four bookings instead of just taking one.

Frankly, they're used to being fucked about a lot by escorts.

I lost too much money leaving gaps between bookings. From now on, it's back to back.

It doesn't matter what anyone charges or where they are from.

Personally, my prices vary depending on what I need to make and where I am. For example, I have less overheads at my home base so choose to charge less.

Anyway, it is QUIET for me right now and I have been in LOTS of destinations. You just have to pitch up somewhere and sit it out. I honestly don't think it matters where I go although I do think going to a different county is a good idea.

I have a lot of friends in this industry and they are ALL quiet, bar one, but she needs a lot less than most of us and considers an hour and a half hour a good day. What is 'busy' for one, is not necessarily 'busy' for another. What I HAVE noticed though is a significant number of TWs, much more than normal, so I have tightened up my screening and make them jump through more hoops to get to see me. This is relevant to all destinations and is so frustrating.

Whatever happens in this career, I love it and I KNOW it will pick up.

Good luck to everyone XXX

To clarify... This was in a town with heavy traffic issues and they were all vague about the time "after five"  "five thirty-ish" etc.

In central London and in my home city, people are pretty prompt and I can schedule precisely. But in other places everyone is late so vagueness on the time is the norm.

You get cheap prices everywhere Even in Dubai there are escorts / AMP charging 80 for an hour
And ?60 for happy ending along with those thst are charging ?300 -?500

It's the same everywhere and you / we / I either accept thats they way it is or get pro active about working , marketing , touring ect

But sometimes when all is said and done there is nothing you can do but ride it out

I should have done back to back today. Someone called at 3 for 2hr booking but I say no as had booking 5 for one hour( someone I'd seen before) so stupid I said no cuz I like to leave half hour between bookings. I tried calling back to say, yes I can do it but didn't go through. Feel like a fool as i missed out 2 hour money 😔. Shouldn't have said no especially when I had seen other guy before. I just want to cry. So stupid to do that. Now that 2 hr guy wouldn't call to book again.  :'(

Yes, it's SHOCKING. My friend had three in a row the other day!!

I even got two to phone me back (which they did) and they were still no shows.

Timewasters became "clever".
A few years ago they wouldn't book you, they just texted some rubbish.
Now they book, pretend to be genuine (in most cases I can feel it's not) and then they text you shit.

I had a no show and two cancellations yesterday after having booked what looked like a good afternoon. I ended up too frustrated. I have a pinched nerve in my shoulder and decided to take the day off.

I'm trying to get the nerve up to double book. I think I'll do overlapping and back to back... If someone shows I'll text the overlapping guy and see if he'll wait. If not, oh well. At least he won't arrive and not get any answer on the phone.

As I see it I don't owe new clients a reserved booking they get "penciled in" my regulars get "penned in".
 I don't work by AW bookings only by the phone on the day so yes I would make it first come first serve. If they are let down by me there are another 112 escorts within a 5 mile radius of my postcode so with a bit of ringing around I'm sure they can find another WG quickly.
We know some punters book several girls for the same time slot so if they are let down they have a backup.
As I see it the many don't give a shit about wasting our time and think nothing of letting us down so why should I worry? I have my bills to pay and only the ones who actually turn up are going to pay me.
The only exception are my regulars as they take precedence over all new clients.

I have never been brave enough to double book. We escorts get blasted to bits from men for doing this and I understand their attitude to a point but only the girls who have experienced it and that will be all of us at some time or other, will know how it feels to be primped and perfumed, decked out in the sexiest kit and watching the clock for the moment he either rings the bell or phones to say he  has arrived.  Then nothing.

If I have a one hour booking at 2pm then someone wants 3pm and can not do any other time I still say no because the panic of being ready while Mr 3pm is waiting in the carpark and the worry that Mr 2pm is taking his time with his shoes and coat etc. We can not say to client one that client two is outside and waiting.

Oh far too much worry for me to go through that.
I get hardly any no show men because I do not waver from my rules of booking but once in a while one slips the net. I feel sorry for ladies who get several in one week!

Absolutely agree. I think it's unacceptable.

It's horrible when you have your time wasted, my worst one was with a client who sounded completely genuine, was located in Birmingham and wanted me to travel for a two hour outcall, all came across well, great feedback great on the phone, got ready made my way there to the apartment complex, rang and nothing, rang his phone and the door again and nothing. The journey cost me ?50.

I would never make a client feel that way, if a client books me for a certain time, he gets that time, I don't double book for regulars or anyone else I just think it's wrong, and if the client you fobbed off was to find out and give you negative feedback/review, you can't exactly defend it. Each to their own though!

I don't have any negative feedback and TBH it wouldn't bother me if did as long as it gave me a negative for double booking a new punter and not for the quality of my services I'd hold my hands up and say "guilty as charged".
I refuse advanced bookings preferring instead to book same day and short notice bookings and when I've done 3 bookings I've done for the day even if that's midday. My policy is first come first served and if you want a booking best to come early or you may be disappointed. I tell them straight I don't give new punters a guaranteed booking as I may be finished hours before the time they want to come. My mantra is "This is MY business and its always going to be run to suit me not the punter" and that philosophy has never let me down.

I personally wouldn't double book and let down a new client for a regular, because that regular could suddenley decide he doesn't want to see me anymore and that's money gone, and that new client I double booked and let down may well have been a genuine client who could become a regular.

The way I work is if someone books a slot it's theirs unless there is a genuine reason for me to cancel, if they waste my time, I block, blacklist and never book again. I don't give priority to anyone as they are all customers, the only "priority" I may give is extra time, which I have done many a time for regulars and it's been appreciated

I've had a few over the last 6 weeks asking for the same kind of thing, where they want an hour but don't have my full rate, I wondered if it's the same person playing about.

I've also upped my screening over a few weeks and it's definitely helped, those who really want to see you wont mind the "jumping through hoops" x

Early last week was dire so I thought sod it I will increase the price so that the bookings I do get will be worth more... the phone went nuts and I had my highest ever earning week almost completely from new clients, I'll never understand how this damn business works! If I'd lowered the price it might have had the opposite effect where I got lost among the crowd of everyone charging the same price, I'm sticking to where I am.

I don't use AW myself but I just change the price on my site first as that is where most of my bookings come from and I keep a list of every place I put an advert and go around changing them accordingly, it is time consuming but worth it as then there is no confusion. Come to think of it, it would probably be easier if I did use AW only as then I would only need to change one website, hooray finally I have a positive reason to possibly reinstate my profile, sorry Katrina I just hate that site and was having a little fun.

TLDR: Yes I change the price on my personal site and every other site I have an advert, takes time but it's worth it.

Oh I see  :) I was just curious as I don't manage my own website someone else does it for me, I suppose its only a matter of texting my web guy and he does changes straight away. I do my adultwork and all other ads myself so not overly complicated really and I've noticed that most of my work comes from the purple site now anyway so an option could be to just try a price increase on there see how it goes  ;D

Early last week was dire so I thought sod it I will increase the price so that the bookings I do get will be worth more... the phone went nuts and I had my highest ever earning week almost completely from new clients, I'll never understand how this damn business works! If I'd lowered the price it might have had the opposite effect where I got lost among the crowd of everyone charging the same price, I'm sticking to where I am.

I noticed that when I started off charging a lot less, I had more boundary pushers in hindsight.   Amy was asking why I was getting so many TWs and idiots suggesting me to review my profile etc.  I was told by someone before that charging a lower price won't necessarily get you "poor quality" punters.  I had a string of these (indiscreet, punters asking some weird questions ("why do you escorting?" etc) when my price was a lot cheaper.  I reckon that punters see cheap escorts as being "naive", having a lack of confidence instead of good business sense and they can mow you down like a***.

Agreed on the prices.  We are luxury items, like fancy cars and jewellery. If we cost less, we wouldn't have the same status points, lol.

I recently increased my rates and have been busier than I've ever been, it's been great!

However I have only got one booking now planned for the next fortnight and it's making me panic a little. I've thankfully made enough recently to get me through a few quiet weeks but I'm upping my advertising regardless.

Bank holiday weekend, especially Monday was really busy! I usually find bank holidays a bit hit or miss! This one was definitely a hit! Fully booked all day with a reserve list!  :)

Business has been excellent today.

And long may it continue. xx

Today wasn't exactly dead but I had to work extremely hard to make ?400. The past few days have been so annoying- every f%@king call seems to be a timewaster or someone wanting services I don't offer like OWO, CIM, anal and some guy expecting me to supply poppers despite the fact that I don't offer anal play or take drugs and clearly state so on my profile. Seriously doing my head in. Where are all the nice, undemanding punters who can at least be bothered to read my profile?!

As long as I have made my target or near enough by the end of the week/month I am contented. If one day is dead it no longer worries me at all. For some strange reason I find a Thursday can be my busiest day, no idea why.

I thought it was just me 😄
I have just left Heathrow around 9pm tonight
I was there's over the weekend  Fri - Mon
On fri phone was really really busy pretty much non stop but late arrival and combination of things feeling ill meant I only covered my cost normally I would have done double that

Saturday was very busy  8 clients by  7 pm and phone was still going crazy all night unfortunately I popped out to the shops in my car and somehow ended up on the M25 going to terminal 5 and getting lost .
This pissed me off so when I finally got back to my hotel although I should have carried on I was to annoyed to carry on working.

Sun 4 by 2pm then another 1 in the evening but It was very slow

Today monday 5 by 4pm m and then phone just died a death 

Ramadan starts tonight at midnight I though it would be busier but im glad to be home and in bed now
This is probably my quietest trip I have had in Heathrow since last may on the bank holiday when It seemed that every nutter and pyscho came out to bug me and my friend

They woke your for Sahur (last meal before fasting) Sunday night 2am so Anytting we would have got would be before that time. I kill it in Heathrow doing my weekly target in a day. Evidently Ramadan will effect most parts of London

I didn't even have a C cup so my chest didn't look very sexually appealing, I was positively surprised to get any business and, I was busier. My price was cheaper and I did more things (I used to kiss clients etc. - gross) I thought after an upgrade (boob job and long hair) I could charge more, I look better, and ... business is not going well for me...

After almost two and a half months of it being extremely lacklustre to say the least this week has been incredible, I forgot what it was like to be run off my feet and having to turn bookings down. The best part... not one regular all new clients, some fresh meat to turn into regulars my favourite.

Plus an old regular that was on his last chance finally fucked up again, blocked and I never have to deal with him again.

I'm on cloud nine.

Post by: amy on 13 June 2016, 08:51:21 pm
There's a lengthy post somewhere in this even more lengthy thread with a list of some of the things that have been blamed for business being slow, including but not limited to sporting events, political events, bad weather, good weather, school holidays, tube strikes, Christmas, it being after Christmas, inflation, recession, terrorism, it being payday, it not being payday, swine flu, bird flu, ebola and God alone knows what else. Sometimes it's just quiet, and sometimes it's not.

I would have done five today had I not been finishing early this week to get home for the two o'clock game, so my answer is a resounding no. It was last week that was crap, and somebody else will have been busy then :).

I don't tour much and this is the second time I came back to my current location after a successful first tour last month. It's very quiet, even the hotel occupancy is down when I was talking to the bell boy. Didn't get off to the most auspicious of start when my flight was delayed for 3 hours, forcing me to reschedule my first booking. Since then, had 3 cancellations all from clients I have seen in the past. I have only seen one client yesterday and today and at this point, have 2 bookings tomorrow and Friday each which means I would only have break even. That is if the current ones don't end up messing me around. When I am at home, I don't really get bothered by slow days as I have plenty of things to do  but being away and the looming possibility of not breaking even is upsetting.

I assumed the same and made plans to meet a client for free social time at a local attraction before returning to mine for an hour booking (I wanted to visit this attraction anyway and thought it would be nice to go with someone and then turn it into a booking that I otherwise probably wouldn't get). I'm now turning away lots of enquiries for that time frame! Could kick myself and wish I could cancel on the man but he's so excited and taking a train to see me and I've already pushed him back from 3 until 3:30.

It's also the Wales game :).

I've worked every day this week and still managed to be home for 1pm to get the footie in, but I'm fidgeting today and the only reason I'm really at my flat at all is because I had to come into town anyway (and my friend buys me breakfast at Wetherspoon's every third Thursday).

I worked out that the latest I can do is a half hour at 12 o'clock, so now I'm basically sitting waiting to see if the phone goes in the next half hour and if it doesn't I'm scarpering to stuff my face and sing Men Of Harlech down the phone with my nana :D

Typically I plonked my arse down to watch the match and just as they were singing the anthems I pulled in a 30 min who happened to be just round the corner.Quite happy as my 90 min tonight cancelled so it helped make up for it but I missed most of the first half of the match.

I did OK. But I had a chatty old gent at the end of the match who took forever to leave. I missed a TON of calls whilst he was here, presumably from those in the mood to celebrate the win. But I think I have a ninety minute booking tonight that I managed to line up.

Actually, it's been a pretty good day.

Well after 5 shite weeks on tour I have pitched up back home and have had the busiest day I've had in ages.

Just as well really as I am on my uppers.

I've given up wondering why I'm not busy; I either am or I'm not but I'm knocking touring on the head for a while as it's been the biggest disappointment of the year so far with losses I just can't afford.

I'll have to go away but I'm going to go closer to home as last week I was in a destination 3 and a half hours away and my phone didn't even ring apart from one half hour booking. Having to work from home is a last resort for me but with no overheads, I have no choice.

I'm the same - touring isn't cheap (even if doing it on a budget) and just seems so up and down. Can have a really good tour and then a really crap one. You could say it evens itself out but I like to be steady not seeing 6 or 7 one day and then just 1 (or none) the next! At home I can just about cope with this but when touring it's just too risky (in the losing money sense) and also get bored stiff and eat too much when stuck in a hotel room doing nothing, so I'm gonna do it less often now and will probably just keep London going every so often as it's the one place that seems to be consistently good!

I'd prefer not to work from home but it's a case of having too. I'm actually moving house to a different area next month (about 40 miles away from where I am now) so hoping I'll have an influx being the new girl on the scene!

Well just as I posted a couple of weeks ago, and today being Thursday,  ???  it has been a very successful day! I even had to turn 2 away as they wanted times I was booked. Yesterday one booking at 11am then the phone did not beep at all.

Why Thursdays?  I can not fathom it, so won't bother. Could be simple coincidence but it has been happening most Thursdays for a very long time.

Euro 2016 finishes on July 10.

Don't forget to factor Wimbledon into your schedules which runs from June 27 till July 10 and may disrupt London workers.

There is also the Olympics too which run from August 5 to August 21 though may not cause as much disruption as they aren't held in uk this time round.

I do think business will be affected today just due to people panicking about the financial news.

Maybe, it's too late.   ???  ::)  Politicians wrecked the foundation whilst we are part of the "EU" which was costing millions wrecking NHS, basic services etc whilst people became poorer and house price shot up and are simply "out of reach" for the majority of "first-time" buyers in their 20-30/40s. The whole Economy does affect escorting as it's after all as a luxury commodity, not exactly the "essential item".    When people have some anxiety over the future financial loss / reduction, people tend to tighten their purse string.  AW would be the last site for them to check on,  maybe, they do start using cheaper services like cams and internet porn.

I've had a very slow week, and I think with Glastonbury, Wimbledon, football and economic uncertainties it might not pick up for a few weeks. We'll just have to see what happens with the economy etc., but medium-term quite a few companies are probably going to pull their HQ out of the UK so people are going to be even more worried about job security.

I toured London this weekend just gone and it was very busy thankfully. Although I met with a couple of city bankers who deal with investments and stuff on Friday afternoon and they looked a little frazzled after what they called a 'crazy morning'. Speaking to them about it, they're almost certain it means less growth for Britain now, affecting smaller businesses and investors etc bless them. I think London was pissed because they all voted to stay in but still profitable for the time being!

Yesterday though I had 6 emails from 6 different NEW accounts with zero feedback, all saying similar things, I also keeps getting unknown calls again all of a sudden, I  don't know whether someone is taking the piss with me or if it's a coincidence? Strange anyway.

many sending me msg with strange number, and say...i cannot call you now or i will call you first with hidden number to be prudent???

So far this week i have earned ?100!!! Ive had so many false bookings, its driving me insane!! This has co-incided with launching my new website and going on twitter! Hmmmm

Last night i managed to hurt my back and can hardly move, so i had to cancel my only 2 appts.

Ive also noticed that in my area, about 20 new escorts suddenly appeared over night, all cheaper than me. Maybe thats why im slow?

Last few days have been very quiet for me, although I haven't been promoting myself as it's been that time of the month. Not had an actual booking since Saturday night. Camming has been profitable though.

I had a great Monday then took Tuesday off. An OK Wednesday and then Yesterday I forgot my keys and locked myself out of my work flat. It took me a long time to get home so I didn't bother going back. Based on the phone calls,  I think I would have done two hours or maybe more, which is OK for my home city (that's why I tour!)

The phone is quieter, but on the two days I worked I managed to get several bookings.

I used to get a call for a booking every morning before I could be at my flat. Now even if I am there very early, with available today on, I never get calls in the morning.

I also used to get at least one evening outcall a week to an airport hotel. Haven't had one in months. Considering these are nonlocal men who can't have gotten tired of me, I'm mystified about that.

I find most of the time with the Available today it hinders but after taking it off things picked up. Maybe try toggerling may help. It varies still from day to day with only two today which is good. Keeping the volume down not attracting attention but doubt it would now after being here over 2 years. Belongs they keep coming every day keeps me happy.

It has the possibility to get more complicated only time will tell. The best we all can do is to adapt our working styles etc should it be doom and gloom hopefully not.  The only time it worried me was the day after the vote but don't allow it to stress me. What will be will be. Business as normal so far so good. :)

Say like I started with the available today and if business is quiet I remove it for the rest of the day. It varies I stopped using it at weekends and surprisingly found myself busy. But the majority of the time the feature hinders for me. Give it a go some times it helps. The local escorts does it for me. It is quiet without it. :)

I never show available today and yet get enough work, in that I work almost every day of the week. Guys say even if green light is on by the time they contact the provider she may already be booked up.  I guess if men want to find out if we are really free at a time they want, they will just phone us.

Four other calls followed through the morning with other clients along similar lines.
NONE called back to confirm. AND I even put on my seductive voice. Don't they know how difficult that is when one is half asleep...? :o

They didn't feel like time wasters but no actual booking resulted from a promising morning. I despair... :FF

The thing I haven't even had my photoshoot for the agency yet (they need to arrange it), so my photos are not yet on the website. My agency (they are old and well established) operate by generating regulars and I already have a few, but for some reason for the past week or so I've not had any calls. Perhaps she just hasn't been promoting me to new clients (the first couple of weeks it was insane!), but I hope it will pick up again once I have my photos up... :-[

Mine's really nice, but yeah I think some independence is necessary. Hate being dependent on other people. I'm just a bit daunted by the prospect of going independent and there is so much competition. Also I'm outcall only, so that's also a tad problematic. :/

Or it could be a newer girl has joined the agency recently and they are now promoting her.
Strange they don't have your photos up yet so I'm not surprised you've been quiet if A. You're no longer the new girl and B. Anyone looking for an escort can't even see details of you on their site.
I'd push to get your photos up or opt to go indie.

Strange they don't have your photos up yet so I'm not surprised you've been quiet if A. You're no longer the new girl and B. Anyone looking for an escort can't even see details of you on their site.
I'd push to get your photos up or opt to go indie.

Yes sadly that's probably the case. Very annoying really. Starting to see the appeal of being independent. :/

Hi, just wondered if people could say what towns/cities they are working when putting whether it's quiet or busy as am thinking of touring and would be useful to know which places are on the up or down at the moment  ;D ;D

Well they could, but since no two people are the same and different people do well/badly in different places I wouldn't advise basing any decisions around it? :)

Agree with above comment. You could have two sp's in flats next door to each other and one can be flooded with work while the other is polishing her phone.  Men in every town and city are wanting sex at almost any given time, it all depends on their fancy of the moment and who they pick over others.

Post by: V24 on 12 July 2016, 12:15:17 pm
Yeah understand that to a degree but was just looking for a rough idea really as I think if a place is really quiet it's possibly quiet for all in that area, obviously not always.  My flatmate and I are like chalk and cheese however we are generally quiet or busy at the same time and I know that others are quiet/busy in the area at the same time too would suggest that it's to do with that particular place at a given time, if that makes sense  :)

Dead here in glorious shitty pissy wet humid Ireland. Kids are all on hols ya see for either 8 or 12 weeks. I have had one booking all week worth an amazing 80 euros... Polishing my fone lol, It's worn away with me checking it, rechecking it and ringing it.... Silent screams... On the other hand I got a text message earlier from an unknown number saying "Thanks for ruining my life".. Am guessing it must be an irate wife or girl friend.. Maybe lol or a head wrecking client playing games, who knows!!!

I was busy in the midlands this week. Was completely dead last week though and only did 1 booking which is unheard of. Swings and roundabouts with this job as it's never going to be a reliable way to earn a steady of stream of money. Definitely more cause to save whenever possible

Do you think having number showing makes a HUGE difference? I haven't got mine showing at the moment because I had it showing on viva street and the calls to my personal number were ridiculous, I'm currently waiting on a work sim through the post to put in a work phone. Then I'll put it as showing. I currently only have 2-3 messages on AW a day querying bookings, and only maybe 2 bookings a week. Got 4 feedbacks so far, so understand hesitation to book. I don't offer OWO and I've been told that's swung them not to book me. So frustrating.

I do prefer making bookings through AW just cos it enables me to see who exactly is coming & I like to receive feedback. If you girls get a call through do you ask if they have a AW profile? Though I guess having their number available means you can screen them in some ways e.g. I always run a number through fb/google etc.

To me having my number displayed makes a huge difference. I would say the majority that call me don't have an AW account and don't want one for various reasons so you'd be missing out on a lot by not showing it, at least going by my experience.

I don't feel the need to ask them if they have an AW account (whether they have or not can come up in conversation sometimes when we meet) and I'm confident enough in my own screening procedures that I ensure that no undesirables are going to book me. Also all feedback shows is that they are probably going to turn up - or they did for the particular wg(s) they've seen anyway! I've not noticed a better clientele from ones that have booked me on the site over the ones that have not!

Awesome, thanks for the advice :) I used Viva Street for ages but got so pissed off with all the no shows hence why AW booking forms appealed cos I could be more certain they would show. Viva street was great for traffic though.

In my experience with Ldn most clients will call and then ask if they should book via AW, which happens most of the time.  You can generally sus out a client in his communication or the way he speaks to you, but Ldn is very much a call on the day place as most guys will have a browse through AW via their phones.

Been a bit crap for me since the EU referendum result. Will review my profile tonight and jig things up a bit. I only advertise on AW and don't display my number as I've a day job too and worry that I may be seen, so reduce the chance of that (and therefore my trade!) by using just the one site.

The news wouldn't help (in my view anyway) - knowing that seeing an escort is a relative luxury activity, if there's a lot of the news about the economic downturn, which was firmly confirmed, it concerns people and people stops spending.   Cheap hookers will be very popular though, again in my view.  :-X

Absolutely love the quick cummers but its the big boys who like a bit of rough um-- I mean "a lot" of rough = feeling bruised up down there.

Today had 1 hour this morning then was nothing more, including no calls all day. Then had a last minute overnight booked but just before I went to leave he cancelled! Luckily he had paid 50 quid into my bank account so got something for my trouble of getting ready!

It was a slow day until late afternoon then they came flooding. It was a challenge fitting them in but managed some how. A confirmed is due at 9pm.

Well I've just had another week with only one client, though I did do better than last week as I also managed a cancelled booking and more TW emails  ::)

Just updated my profile to say I'm having a few days off and 10 minutes later had an email that says "I was wondering if you would meet me outdoors and just wank me off??".

Hopefully in a weeks time some normal men will have crawled out the woodwork!

I've been having 3 bookings a day consistently, but I think it's because I'm new to the area. God love guys and their love of novelty.

It's shutdown here too, and I've had a few over who've got a couple of weeks spare :).

The people who've gone off on holidays have been replaced by holidaymakers that can't/won't listen to directions or look at the map on my site, so I've all but given up trying to take short notice bookings unless they've either been before or are within five minutes walk as they just keep wandering off.

I find school holiday times are as busy as any other days. I read so often that the summer breaks mean less work but it has never been the case with me.
I see a mix of ages but on thinking about it many of my regular clients are past the stage of their offspring being at school or they have no children at all.

At home it's mostly been good - 2 to 4 a day and been finishing by 5pm at the latest. The other day I had done 4 by 2pm so that was me done for the day! Never had it as quiet as this on tour in this particular location  ???  Makes me feel like I should've stayed at home although of course there's nothing to guarantee it would've been any busier but at least I wouldn't have forked out for hotel and travel though  :(

My lovely 1 hour regular is booked in for first thing Monday morning he's always a good start to the week and I'm hopeful normal business will be resumed then.

I don't know where in the North you are, but in North Yorkshire it hasn't been any of the above. We've had the odd downpour, but it was so hot a couple of weeks ago that I took two days off because I couldn't face working, and it's been pretty good for about a month. I walked to work without a cardigan today, which means it's bloody warm :D.

Whenever I go to Yorkshire, it's always raining.  Cumbria.  Dreadful. It was pleasant here today, too. I was frazzled today but survived thanks to a pleasant regular  :)  I bet in the south, people have more sex thanks to the nice weather, more sunny days.  People make more.  But just my personal opinion, of course.   :)

I think the weather would only put people off depending on where you are. If you have parking nearby then I can't see the rain putting anyone off, but if they know they've got a 5-10 min walk in a downpour I can imagine them thinking "nah".

Equally during the school hols I think if it's very hot, dad is likely to be persuaded to take the kids to the beach for the day, so no opportunity to pop out for a quickie to B&Q.

It struck me reading that, how many men have been to see me for half hour bookings when they are meant to be in B & Q  ;D  as I do work very close to one of their stores.  Perfect opportunity, telling his wife he is off to price paint/laminate flooring or whatever and hey presto a booking ensues.  :D

Interesting I'm just down the road in Horsham - dead. However my number hasn't been up since my availability has been very limited due to still recuperating from injury and some personal stuff I've had on.

So tomorrow I may put number up but dread having to explain over and over my restricted services/availability for those who can't/won't read said information on my profile/blogs.

Last week I just did 2 bookings. Only able to do one a day anyway but that's a bit too slow! Since I have 2 months of no income to make up for.

Dead. And sod's law the only times the phone has gone generally this week have been either during my only booking or when I've not been available due to the landlady popping in and out like a yo yo all week first to do housekeeping then to sort out a new washing machine.

In some ways not minded, felt under the weather and can't sleep. In others well I've already had 2 months no income due to injury so need the dosh.

If he confirms & shows I will eat my (sun)hat

Putting offers on has never really done me much good. If anything it attracts timewasters. I'm recovering n still sore so not bothered about this week but the next two weeks I need bookings coming in. Even my regular source of weekly income has let me down this week n until September so I'm not best happy about that at all plus he knows I rely on the little I get from him just for food money. FFS. Hey, as long as he's okay eh!!!! Off again on the millionth holiday he's had this summer.

Bloody awful, came home early. Had 3 bookings in the first day but I could have done that in Manc! Shouldn't have left, I barely broke even. Hate when that happens cos I feel like I'm having sex for free. Does anybody know if we can claim hotel expenses as tax deductions? Friday is filling up already though which is good...

literally having the worst time in bristol at the moment.. my phone has hardly run the two days ive been here and I've had 6 no shows :(((

6 no shows? Oh my gosh. I have had three no shows this week. About to break my diet and have some wine myself now and probably just call it a day maybe  ??? I NEVER thought that there will be such a thing as no shows. I always just assumed men were sex obsessed and when they see a hot girl they would want to make a booking to fuck her not make a booking only to not turn up . Weird. What's more fun. Fucking or no showing ? hmm I guess maybe they are just poor and can't afford it so they jack off to the idea of booking I guess. Shame

I have found this summer is worse than the two previous years.  I don't think it is my advertising or anything ....

There are also far too many timewasters and numpties.

Am busy dieting so not getting any new photos until next month.....

Not too long before normality in Sept let's hope!

My phone has been sooooo silent today. I'm just sitting in my hotel room festering, triple checking my AW profile to check I haven't left my number off by mistake.

 :-[

I did have someone call this morning wanting to book three hours with a long drawn out wedding fantasy with dress and vows and all, I asked for a deposit and had no answer so far  ::)

I do that quite often myself. Change location or just cancel last minute. I'm very nervous as well to tour lately. It's just so quiet. I don't know what to do with myself . One minute I'm touring next minute I'm wanting to work from my main base. I feel sorry for the poor escort I messed about . She doesn't know if I'm coming or going cuz I change my mind about renting her flat all the time as I fear wasting my time and not earning.   ??? Today I booked a room but just left after a while cuz phone's just not ringing. Just  Thought I'd give London another chance but wow.

It shouldn't be a problem as long as you are honest and your marketing reflects the curvier you. As you will read on here there is a market for all sizes.

I think we all have ups and downs in this business, just keep up with the advertising and keep the AW profile and website up to date and with new content and they'll appear.

I gave up going to Brum since out of everywhere I'd toured I'd always found it the worst for that kind of thing (along with Glasgow and Swindon).  I have different (health) reasons for being near to quitting but I know that kind of thing when it happens in spades drives you a bit crazy.

Sorry to hear that. 
I was in Birmingham mid August and it was fine a little bit slower than usual but still busy and if I wasn't such a lazy cow and was willing to work a bit later like past 9pm 😃 I could have done a lot more .

I think my biggest problem was/is that I no longer work full time since May so once the bullshit started I thought to myself Fark this I do not need this pooballs.  Escorting used to be so stressless now it is stressfull.  I will stick to my camming for now lol.

I think when I do do the odd tour it will be bookings via site only.  I can not be bothered with the fantasists etc anymore.

Thursdays always used to be good. In recent weeks, not so good.

I was dead quiet yesterday - only a couple of daft calls. My only booking was someone who booked well in advance.

Finally, about 10pm I started to get genuine callers who would have been good bookings. But I am a morning person and I wilt in the late evening. I had to turn them down and go to bed.

I was told by a client that a girl worked in cutlass court apartments and she had 2 days of no shows, and then someone made an overnight booking in liverpool (where she is from) and when she got there she was sent a text saying enjoy the hotel and dont come back to Birmingham, she also had a man banging loudly on her door that she wasnt expecting, I can only think of one reason that would happen and I would say its local competition

That's so weird Birmingham is one of my favourite places to go and work
That and Heathrow
It weird because on here both of these places seem to be universally hated 😄 by most because of the clients and amount of TW but I really like them both and have always generally done pretty good in each place and not had a thing like the above happen ( touch wood )

Birmingham is one one of my top favourites along with Liverpool and Newcastle and Glasgow and never before have I had a problem.  Like I said I think it is due to my lack of patience with bullshit, I checked out at about 10.30 and from 11am my phone was going crazy but by that time I was not in the mood after all the previous evenings hassle and the guy trying to get me thrown out of my hotel in the morning.  On top of that it was the first time in ages I had a very bad nights sleep the bed felt like a slab of cement.

I live and work in Birmingham. Its all about knowing the area, the strip clubs for a bit of pocket money and picking up men who I like, and I know some of the bars which I can basically use to pick up clients when I'm out in the evenings.
Its not all about AW and vivastreet.

is Birmingham diff to Wolverhampton? I did wolves end of july and left early, the 1st day I had 7 no shows it was pure head ache!!! I think there was 2 duo escorts in the next room to me (well I know I saw punters coming and going from their door) not sure if any foul play was involved in all my time wasters, but its the only place its ever happened

I've just started taking phone calls for enquiries and bookings and I am happy to say I've been busy all week. I've never seen so many punters before in many years of escorting. I'm loving it. Wish I'd put my number up sooner. Of course I've also had no shows n cancellations too but the genuine bookings have more than made up for it. I hope it continues to be busy like this as I'm really enjoying myself. It really makes a bloody nice change to not be worrying about money!!!

Hi ladies hope you are all well.

When is the average monthly pay date - I had in my head it was the 26th of each month but then again it can be the 28th ....

My phone is dead quiet despite having my mobile number showing on AW and being with other sites too.

I am sure it is just a glitch and things will quickly pick up as they generally do but any feedback would be welcome.

Thanks in anticipation ...... :(

It always used to be the last Friday of the month when I worked in civvy street but these days who knows.

Strangely suddenly picked up for me today. Last week quiet and suddenly today 2 incalls booked and a rare outcall this evening! I just hope my still recovering ankle can take it.

Yes I know what you mean ladies it can depend on pay day dates can't it.  When I was in the 9-5 rat race it could be as early as the 25th or as late as the 30th.

Will just sit it out knowing it will pick up no matter what .....!  :)

The only civvy jobs I've ever had that paid monthly both paid on the last working day of the month. Most people I know get paid weekly, so it's not something that makes much of a difference to me :).

I have picked up today as well. My current civvy job pays on the last working day of the month (so Friday or this week) but the one previous to that paid on the 26th.

Good start to the week here in Brum but yesterday and today are dead, as its the end of the month today or tomorrow has the possibility of being many punters pay day. I'm sitting relaxing now as its gone half way through my working day and I'm not going to book anyone now. Tomorrows another day but if that's also quiet I don't mind.
When its like this I say sod it and look forward to Monday when I know I have a standing weekly booking and the week starts again. This work ebbs and flows so I don't worry anymore when its quiet for a few days.

I've had two incalls today, turned down two more as I'd finished for evening, and turned down three outcall requests.

Although who knows how many of those would have become actual bookings. I turned down the outcalls because I was touring and I don't know the local areas.

The pound just plummeted 8% yesterday. It's the lowest it has been in 31 years.  The financial markets and the bank of England went crazy. The pound is loosing very fast against the dollar and financial advisors believe it's going to continue dropping down. Very soon one pound will equal one euro. THIS stuff affects clients, it creates uncertainty and makes them not want to spend.

It has been pretty dead for me this weekend. I don't know what I'm doing wrong really. I do have two half hour bookings in for Monday, but that's it so far. I do mostly only offer outcalls though and it seems that there isn't the demand this week. I don't need many bookings - 2/3 a week pays the bills if they are outcalls.

October is ticking along nicely so with any luck the cold winter months will continue to bring the work as they do every year in the south east, about time after the past six months.

What is it about the end of the year? Bright sunshine and warm nights and no one wants to book but the icy winds come and there is a foot of snow on the ground and suddenly everyone wants to spend spend spend. So annoying.

Hi ladies,

I've seen a lot of posts here regarding quiet times due to money, austerity etc but I'm afraid we have a bigger issue that is killing our industry and that is the Internet.
Hardcore porn is free, fetish sites are in abundance now, plenty of women meeting guys for free plus these new 'dolls', very much like the real thing.
I know that some guys will still want the personal experience itself but only occasionally.
The Internet is killing this business. I believe however (I study cyber psychology), that it will peak for a while and over next few years we'll see a return to actually visiting real women!
It's bugged me for a long time now why it's gotten more quiet but since studying, it all makes sense now.
For me right now it's dead, and I had a walker today.
What makes me laugh about walkers is that they seem to think they're doing you a favour. They're generally ugly yet you're not enough for them lol.

Anyways, here's hoping things pick up xx

Hi ladies,

I've seen a lot of posts here regarding quiet times due to money, austerity etc but I'm afraid we have a bigger issue that is killing our industry and that is the Internet.
Hardcore porn is free, fetish sites are in abundance now, plenty of women meeting guys for free plus these new 'dolls', very much like the real thing.
I know that some guys will still want the personal experience itself but only occasionally.
The Internet is killing this business. I believe however (I study cyber psychology), that it will peak for a while and over next few years we'll see a return to actually visiting real women!
It's bugged me for a long time now why it's gotten more quiet but since studying, it all makes sense now.

I'm not sure I agree. Online porn has been available for 20+ years, certainly very easily - and free - for the last 10. Some men will stick to porn, some will use escorts, some will do both.

Also, the good sex dolls are very expensive, and again will only appeal to a certain niche of men.

I do think the '50 Shades' effect may have got a few more women into swinging and BDSM, but again it's probably a fairly stable community, and one that doesn't particularly influence escorting.

In terms of business I'd say organised/trafficked groups of EE and Asian women and the poor economy/financial outlook at the moment have much more of a direct impact.

plus this an over saturated market, I must complete with close to a thousand women in West Yorkshire if I factor in agencies,parlours,outdoor workers and those who don't use adultwork. There's also dating apps/social media that make it easy for hook ups/nsa meets. I'd think things like cam girls would be much more of a threat to us than porn.

A few years go we had somebody ranting that casual sex and people 'giving it away for free' was going to put us all out of business, obviously because that's a new thing ;D.

I suspect the above is a modern version of that. Personally I wouldn't have anything like the lifestyle and earnings I do if I was still working off line ads in my local rag that nobody bar a few thousand people in my home town would see.

Dead this week got a couple of regs tomorrow, one returner yesterday that's it. Multiple idiots and TWs today culminating in a text from the returner, an older guy who's seen me X4 in 2weeks, saying that he's:

come to the end of his pleasure fund....blah blah...if I need my nipples attended to let him know...blah....maybe he can cook me a veggie meal....

he hopes I'm not offended

I am the first escort he's seen, but Give me Strength, did not have the inclination or energy to reply so deleted it.

Mostly had regulars this week but that's not surprising considering that I'm now down to 2 days a week. Suits me really well, I feel more safe and under less pressure with my regs. Also just met an awesome client who only books me 5 hours plus every 3 weeks so that takes a lot of pressure off cos it's one weeks earnings in 5 hours. Yay for lovely regs! :)

It's my 2nd day on tour in Milton Keynes - and it's beyond dead!
It's full of time wasters and hagglers, and I've never had so many cancellations & no shows.
The type of guys that are calling can barley string a sentence together!
It's the 1st time in a long time - I've lower my rates as I would like to break even - but so far I haven't seen one 1 client - which is starting to get to me!

If things don't pick up tonight, I will be moving on tomorrow.
It was a risk coming to MK, as I've put all my eggs in one basket - and it just hasn't paid off.
I definitely won't be returning!

My friend was working  last week
She charges 120. But she was offering ?100 through Aw if booked through Aw & had feedback
There was another girl right next door my friend worked out that she had done between 12-15 clients each day.
 My  friend could here the door opening / closing and could see punters calling from outside
My friend did 1 half an hour that day  and had two blank days previously


I told her  she was making booking her  difficult by demanding that they booked through Aw / feedback
So she dropped it and charged 100
She did 9 1 hr bookings that day she said that none of them stayed the hour and none of them wanted to come twice most were done & gone by 40 mins ( their choice )

I guess my point is that there is work out there but you have to get your advertising right / prices right
If an advert has certain restrictions like my friend then it reduces the client base drastically
Not saying that everyone is like my friend  but I have seen some profiles that have never ever changed anything in the slightest in 18 months  or have lots of restrictions like no one under 25 /30 or over 50
Which is fine if that's what you are comfortable with 

That might mean they are busy and that they are ticking along nicely and not need to update but it might be someone who is dead and wondering why it's so quiet

Ive only just last month updated my photos since the sept  last year but I haven't worked loads  this year due to my back / leg and was ticking along nicely so didn't feel the need to get new photos
But I got new photos done in Sept and have another 2 photo shoots lined up in oct / & Dec as im back to working / touring more and have lost just over 2.5 stone and want to have new pictures to reflect this

Absolutely agree with this.

Can I ask what general area your friend was working in? ?100/hour seems really low, but I'm in the South East.

?100 does seem cheap to me that close to London, but sometimes you just have to check the competition and adjust, I guess.

Ggrrr, bloody typical. Decided to call it a day cause my phone was dead . So i packed up and went. 5mins later an easy regular of mine texts wanting an hour. I was already in 'Yay I've finished work mode' so I just continued to go walk out to my lift and told him I'd finished for the day. I'm really kicking myself now cause i know my lift would've waited but you know when you've decided to finish for the day and you're just so happy at the thought of PJs and food, that was me and now I'm wishing I'd have gone back cause i could've done with the money from times it's been dead.

I know exactly what you mean, but do you know what? You need to achieve a work-life balance. If your whole life is about earning, then you're not living. And honestly it doesn't do regulars any harm to hear that you're not going to drop everything to suck their cock.

Dead quiet so far today.  One call when I was in a different room so I missed it (flippin' typical!).  Then a private number withheld so ignored that one.

All 3 sites showing my number but crap so far.

It does invariably bear fruit by lunchtime however once people have worked out their schedule and know they can slip away etc. from jobs and personal situations .....

Oh myyyy gooooosh I am so done with this dead month already!

So last week I had like one appointment a day, gave in and dropped my rate to that of the local European girls - Friday was very good!

Today, had a few "information collectors" calling me, you know the type - "oh hello love, I've seen your advert on the internet, can I get some details?" because obviously just reading the fucking advert would be too much hassle...

Anyway, had a call, booked an appointment, cancelled half an hour before. Then another contacted to book, made an appointment but had not confirmed.

IS IT JUST ONE OF THOSE DAYS?

I've had one of those callers today as well. He had no idea of any information about me at all. I could tell he was going to be a messer from the start. He did a typical no show in the end. Got an hour at 4pm and I'm crossing everything that this one shows  :-\

Got sarcastic with one of them on text, little fucker. I really need to get tougher at weeding them out on the initial call but I always think "What if they genuinely are a first timer and have a lot of questions? They will never get to not be a first timer if nobody ever gives them a chance!" I'm too bloody soft for my own good.

Some idiot who texted on Sunday asking for solo and duo rates texted again with a war and peace style text full of bondage and domination type stuff he wants me to do in November maybe..then some drugged up yoof whittering on about wanting a regular in Leeds and he wants late night 3 hour bookings....yawn!
Then a 4pm that never confirmed,a bloke telling me how he came to see me last week blah blah (he didn't!) and can he call me back with a time for today (he didn't!).
Then an 8:30pm who cancelled at 4pm with the same copy and paste text he used the last time he cancelled.
Finally a regular texts (hooray I think) only he wants a duo at 5:45pm,leaving me 35 mins to organise one which I can't and then he admits that maybe he should have planned it better and given more notice..you think?!?
Had enough for today.. :FF

I think if you want to be busy for a long time, you'll need to change things up or else your business will eventually dwindle.

Although someone who gives a fantastic service and only wants a couple of bookings a day will probably do well over time building up regulars.
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Lushblossom on 19 October 2016, 11:19:22 am
I get quickly bored with regulars but returnees I can cope with.

I do think however I will have to try to aim for some more quality regulars - there are 3 main ones and 2 are fine but the other one seems to have no comprehension of the need for a day off my end and the need to see to things beyond work.  Think I won't bother with him again as I am flippin' sick of him!

Gone from bad to worse today - my 1 hour was a no show (think he must have been a Vivastreet guy as that site attracts a lot of no shows), then my volume isn't working on my work mobile (this sometimes happens for 24 hours every 3 months) and now my 12 noon for half hour is acting the dick.

I do seem to be very unlucky this week . :(  Meanwhile two nice guys who are genuine and been before are trying to visit but need to check with their work as to whether they can get away or not.   Hey ho.

I went for my monthly all over body rub last night (my main treat each month!!) and the therapist told me in October they also have low earnings.  She does not know what job I do as I run another site so she thinks it is that.  It was reassuring to know this however and the same time of year that we are flat (e.g. Feb and Easter) they are also flat in their business.

Perhaps it is just indicative of any sales/retail job - in the sense that we are also in a type of sales job if I am making sense!

We know it will pick up by Nov and Dec so we can take heart in that.  Hope this helps.

You have to try get as many regulars as possible: so be as half soaked as you like, two-faced, lie, fake your orgasms, say anything to make them feel special but make sure to do it in a way that you are genuine about it all, its all about convincing them that you really like them - THAT is what they are paying you for, not just the sex.

Personally speaking, if they aren't overly smelly, or have bad breath, very obese, very boring or are a horrible person, then I'll do almost anything to keep them coming back for more. Regulars are like financial security for when the phone is basically dead.

I got loads of regulars, when I'm having a slow few days I'll text some of them with things I think they will love which I don't mind doing with them that I otherwise wouldn't usually do.

I know but, judging by a lot of posts on this forum, it just seems a lot of girls are opening their hotel doors, letting the client in and then spreading their legs , cum and dump can't wait to get rid of him - so to speak.

If men wanted that they'd just go to the local street pickup points usually in the cars. The men complaining about us are because of our prices you know the guys scared of curb-crawling they are so used to ?5 for a blowjob and ?10-20 for a quickie. Seriously for those prices I am not a tramp or addicted to drugs.

I'm sure there are plenty of girls who give a service like that. But I'm also positive that plenty of us on here provide a fantastic service and put a lot of effort into ensuring our clients leave fully satisfied. Just because some of us aren't getting bookings right now isn't necessarily down to us providing a crap service or not having enough regulars on our books.
I have about 20 regulars but I'm still not getting bookings this week. You say you text yours during quiet times to try and get them to visit. I would personally never do this as I doubt my regulars would be too pleased if I send them unsolicited texts whilst they are sitting with their wives at home potentially.
I live in quite a poor area of the country and my clients are all having to tighten their belts and keep escorting to a minimal treat of just a handful of times per year now.
Luckily I'm not completely desperate for the money right now as I have another source of income. I think a tour might be on the cards though to see if I can make some better money in a different location.
This job is swings and roundabouts, and what might be a busy week for one person will be completely dead for another for no rhyme or reason.
All we can do is sit it out, improve photos, advertise everywhere we can, maybe offer a special offer, consider touring or supplement income with webcamming if things become really desperate.
The bookings always come eventually, even if they aren't as regular and reliable as we would all like

Please don't berate the sex workers  who work outdoors, we get enough of that shit from civvies. We all work differently some run a conveyer belt service and some will only offer 2+hour bookings. We can all sit and criticise each other but none of us truely know best or we would have made our fortune ans retired by now.

Alcohol all the way. (lol makes me sound like an alcy, but I'm not, I only drink moderately).
I don't get it how, in our line of business, its seen as "professional" to not be under the influence of certain social enhancing consumables when considering our entire job revolves around some element of being social - its not like we all leave school with a A-C grade GCSE in drama? If anything, escorting makes us learn to be a better actress, not from college/uni?

Anyway, keeping this topic on topic, yesterday I had enough of penis's in my life, and I'm still too sore to answer any calls/texts. Sorry girls, I've been there plenty of times myself I feel for you. Suppose its a good thing I'm not answering my phone ay..lol

Well alcohol isn't inextricably linked with socialising and I wouldn't expect any service provider I booked to be under the influence of anything, but the reason I don't drink when I'm working is because I want my wits about me and my judgement not to be clouded in case something goes wrong. But I don't enjoy drinking anyway, so it's no great shakes.

And I've been busy too, so as a result am going home for a bath :).

I completely agree.
At the end of the day everyone has had a quiet day or two here and there. Personally I think it's completely out of order to send unsolicited texts. I have several regulars and I wouldn't dream of contacting them if I'm quiet. They contact me and I reply that's how it works for me.

I agree that if you're quite to improve your photos and advertise everywhere! When I came off holiday it took a few days to pick up and I took a bunch of new photos and edited my "about me" and that's all it took to be fully booked!

I always edit my profile and change my pictures around and take new ones weekly and slowly upload them to my private gallery, it keeps the views coming in!

It just makes me feel extra sociable, as I'm a bit of an introvert - I like my own company. And the sex feels nicer, more relaxing especially with men who keep going on and on and on and on and on... and then he asks if I came or even how many times did I orgasm? I lost count babe... (it felt nice at least).

I knew it when I responded with that message, I thought shall I say it or not so they don't have to respond with such messages? or will they know what I mean, from experience of knowing tactfully when and not to text?

I only (randomly?) send texts to regulars who I know are okay with it. And even then its like a "Hi how are you?" or similar to make sure nothing negative result from it.

Yeh on the odd occasion I've had a half glass of wine thinking the day is dead and done, then get a booking, but I always make sure to stop then!  Even if you think you are in control, with even a small amount of alcohol in you, you are not.

On it being quiet I'm a daytime worker and I'll happily call it a day if my phone isn't ringing or a booking lined up by 1pm, we all know we can be dead as the grave one day then flavour of the month the next, as Scarlett O'Hara famously said "After all...Tomorrow is another day" is my mantra when its quiet.

Definitely up's and down's in this job! I am also a daytime worker (till 5 or 6pm at the latest) and there has been so many times where I haven't had a booking by 1pm or even 2 or 3 but I tend to stick it out and then normally they will all come flooding in at once! Have been known to turn it right around and have 3 or 4 in the space of a few hours mid-late afternoon. It's not ideal as it would be nice in every respect to have them spaced out but it rarely works like that! Today was good and I had seen 3 by 2pm and then I was finished but I've learned not to write off the day too early even though you can easily lose the will to live when it's deathly quiet!

Funny isn't it I think its because most of mine tend to be morning/early afternoon bookings I often be finish by 12pm on a good day so if it its quiet up till 1pm I go off the boil to escort.

I have made my "keep the family running" target and now I'm only going for spending money... I'm taking one of my daughters to Venice next week and we need some play money.

I was pretty brutal today. I had two no shows but I managed to carry on by double booking and I managed to get a guy to wait by offering a discount and promising the world. He waited thirty minutes and left the booking happy.

Nobody got left out in the cold and I made as more than I would have if I'd been all "no, sorry I can't do 3 because I have a booking at 3:30.?

I think if you want to be busy for a long time, you'll need to change things up or else your business will eventually dwindle.

What kind of things exactly? I stopped touring for example because of high costs and low returns, but manage reasonable well. At the moment I only do incalls in one area. But business is not so great as the beginning of the year and I'm looking for ways to improve. Already have a website, Twitter and blog.

Yep..so far todays gems have been a 19 year old who wanted me to come and see him in the Wirral because he can't come to Leeds..I don't offer outcalls or see under 25.Then some stoned dopey sounding bloke who asked me where I was,what I charge and do I do roleplay,I asked him if he had had a read of my profile and he said yes...I accept it's going to be one of those weeks and am bracing myself! ;D

Well I've decided to mentally call an end to escorting this week, I will of course see any regulars who want to see me but I'm not going to pay out credits promoting myself to new clients as its the wrong week in the month being half term and not quite pay day for many.
I really dislike sitting around with my make up on wondering if the phone will ring and not wanting to go too far in case I get a booking, I've never been one for 'flogging a dead horse' when its this quiet.
Next week my lovely weekly regular will be back from baby sitting his daughters cat in London whilst they take their kids on holiday only then will my normality resume.

My business has gone quieter than usual since the Brexit referendum. Usually I'm REALLY busy Oct, Nov, December and this silence is driving me insane. My phone was supossed to be ringing of the hook at this time of the year.

Does anyone know when the bloody half term ends?

Had no clients yesterday (Monday) and today other than a regular for an hour. Had some timewasters calling and 2 requests for bareback sex I've never met before.

That regular was fun though. I was on top of him when his wife called him, he actually answered the call! To be honest I found it hot having him inside me as she was asking him what time he'll be home and what does he want for his tea I literally orgasmed I was surprised at how silent I was. Times like that I love this job.

I have never really been that busy in London tbh! And it's my main base. I was even considering maybe doing incalls for three days next week but was thinking it's just going to be a waste of money! Guess I thought right . It's a waste of time these days and seeing that accommodation is so expensive here I just can't be taking risks like that . Maybe if one day I'm loaded and feel like paying out 400 for couple nights in a hotel only to fuck and get 250 back then heh

A totally stupid day today.Loads of calls but all window shoppers who hadn't read a word on my advert/wanted to know if I'm around tomorrow/next week/sometime never or wanted to call back at such and such time but didn't.
Had an hour at 4pm with a sweet sounding old man who then no showed me.I rang him to see if he was lost and he was like 'Oh er yes I'm on my way' and then put the phone down on me when I asked what time he thought he would be arriving!
Just had some dick ask to see me but would I hang about for him until he finishes work at midnight!?! Oh yes and some bloke ask my hourly rate and put male,66 at the end of his text like I may get confused as to whether it's a woman enquiring!When I told him my rates he replied with 'Too rich for my pension'! :FF

The whole second half of the year has been verrrrry weird and I was just wondering if it was the same for all of you. I have been mostly dead, dead, dead during the week and then absolutely hectic at the weekends one minute then the next the whole week has been dead (I mean not one booking) but the other three weeks of a particular month have been so busy I've been finishing early.

What the hell is going on, do they all push a button or something? It's so frustrating! Why can't they be evenly spaced out throughout the week/month? One minute I am twiddling my thumbs the next I'm begging the phone to quit ringing.

Still making goals but my god it's exhausting physically and mentally.

Mine also seems to be all or nothing (or very little) but tbh I've always found it that way ever since I started 6 years ago!

It is annoying as I don't like to see more than 3 or 4 a day but if another 1 or 2 come along I feel I should take them as the next day could  be (& usually is) dead!

Post by: VoluptuousCurves on 07 November 2016, 07:44:26 pm
I'm going to apply my civvy street analytical brain to this "is it slow or not" question.

Typically we only see a maximum of 10 clients each per day, right? For many of us, much lower, more like 3-5, or even less.

In my former career as a business analyst, one particular thing I came to appreciate is that when you have low volume of anything - customers, products, phone calls, vehicle traffic - it makes it very difficult to predict volume, and any small fluctuation in volume can feel like a massive swing.

For example: if I normally get 3 customers a day, and then tomorrow I get 6, that's 200% of normal volume - it feels like a huge deal, because I've doubled my volume. But in reality, it's only three extra.

Conversely, if I normally get 3 and then I get zero, OMG my business has died. But again - it's only 3 less.

When you have a small volume to assess, normally you move from considering the volume on an hourly or daily basis to looking at it on a weekly or monthly basis instead. So instead of saying "Oh no, I had no customers today" I just look at my MTD (month to date) figures and say "OK, it's day 7 of November and by now I was expecting to have seen 15 customers. I have actually seen 12 so I am really not too far behind - I can easily make this up by working an extra day this week and/or doing a quick price drop day and bringing in an extra 3 this week, then I'll be back on track."

But realistically for us, we are working in a cash business which is subject to seasonal fluctuations, primarily around school holidays and the notorious mid-Jan blackout. So even a monthly position is not that helpful: we should be working to an annual budget, broken down into quarters, then monthly, then weekly.

And always build in a safety net: if you need 3 customers a day just to cover your monthly bills, then stretch yourself and aim for 4, and put that extra in a savings account so you can draw on it when (not if) there's an unexpected emergency.

Hope nobody takes this as patronising - I've only been doing sex work a short time, but I've been analysing data (and in particular forecasting customer volume) for over 10 years, so it's a strength I really want to bring into this business.

I think its very interesting, I normally look at my figures at the end of the month its amazing that on a day to day or week to week basis it may seem slow but by the end of the month my money is usually right on or above target. Good work VC
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Kay on 07 November 2016, 11:00:37 pm
Great post, VC. I'm low volume (3-5 clients a week), but for me I think the issue is that if I was desperate to see more clients, I'd lower my screening criteria, end up seeing clients I didn't enjoy seeing (which is a rarity currently) and thus go off escorting all together.

A plus point for me is that compared with last year, I'm now earning more in my other job, and it also takes up a lot more of my time, which again makes me much more picky about clients - I just can't afford to waste time, so I have to have a very good feeling to say yes to a new client.

If I was uber popular, I'd see as many clients as I could manage in a day (it would still only be 2-3), but I think an issue that a lot of us are having is actually *getting* more clients through the door?

Yes, this is what I was concerned about before I went full time - that necessity of paying bills can mean an increased chance of taking risks. What I've decided on is that I will continue my existing screening process, but increase my advertising instead, using Available Today and Local Escort search on AW, picked up a featured ad in Friday Ad, and as a last resort to increase footfall I will do a price drop. So far it's working!

If I was uber popular, I'd see as many clients as I could manage in a day (it would still only be 2-3), but I think an issue that a lot of us are having is actually *getting* more clients through the door?


I totally i agree! I do same! very picky! xxx

In the last couple of weeks I think the credit crunch is really hitting business.  Lots of punters are asking for deals due to the credit crunch.  Are other ladies finding this? 

As I have diversified on to other sites, and the fall off from AW has been replaced by Punterlink and my new website. I still have more or less the same number of jobs, (about 8 -12 a week) but I am working much harder to get them.  A blip or a trend?

I haven't reduced my rates, have any other ladies and if so has it increased business?
I have been in this industry for 11 years on & off and over the past few years I have noticed that from the end of September until abt 2 wks before Xmas it goes quiet; It will pick up rpund abt 14th Dec right through until the end of January and then it will die down until abt Mid March to April xx

I think its very interesting, I normally look at my figures at the end of the month its amazing that on a day to day or week to week basis it may seem slow but by the end of the month my money is usually right on or above target. Good work VC

I am the same, a quiet day and a good day tend to follow suit, it always seems to work out the same at the end of the week

A client I have known a long time asked me recently what an average week for me was and although I do not divulge facts and figures to anyone I told him I work a lot less now through choice. I don't need a high volume of clients to make my bills and add to savings etc. 
He suggested I only work 2 or 3 days at the beginning of the week and make my money on those days, then take the rest of the week off from escorting.
I had to explain to him that it does not work like that although it would be good if it did!  We can not command that all clients see us to suit our diaries and calendars, how great it would be if I could make my weekly target by Wednesday then switch my phone off!
My weeks these days tend to be a strange mix, dead for a day or even two then a few men in a day. Happy to say I am not plagued by time wasters and those who do not show. I have checked back in my records and can honestly not see a pattern of dead months or seasons etc, nothing really notable anyway.

The thing is when clients start acting like Martin Lewis (but without even his knowledge!)  they never take into account that self employment can be very up and down and that there are times when we can be unavailable through no fault of our own, such as other responsibilities/commitments,  illness of our own or other people's,  deaths, god forbid we might need an operation or even to go on holiday. The bills are still there 365 days a year. Its not the earnings of one day or week its over the whole year.


 Would be great to just have the phone on 2 days a week haha

This week has been completely dead for me in London. Surprising, as I had manic last few weeks.
I used to think that February and August were the worst months, but I had an amazing August this year, and February was fine too. On the other hand, December 2015, I barley saw anybody, my phone was totally dead. I really hope December this year will be better...

Some could be simply just messing escorts around regardless.  Asking for your availability on the specific date and time and one would assume he is interested in booking and book someone else, instead.  Just enjoy being mean or play some " I will disappoint you" game.  Doesn't bother me though.  I just leave a note as TW.   I have a handful of previous punters like that. 

One made up the second profile after I said, sorry, busy, can't accept your booking.  He asked again under his second profile, just to see if I WAS really busy.  Good job there are Good guys / Good punters.  These men must be miserable in their real life.

This is my 1st year as an Indy but last xmas was slow up until abt 19th December (in a sauna) and busy right through until the end of January; a few girls that have worked the sauna's for year's said tht February & March are the worst mnths of the year & the school hols & tbh there are school holidays/bank holidays in every month except November!!!

Very quiet on the phone yesterday and today despite having AT showing but as its the 3rd week of the month and usually my quietest time I'm not too worried, so far today I've had one unsuitable caller and one private number otherwise its dead so I've decided to call it a day and chill, my PJs are on and my hair is up and bunned, if anyone calls now they can take a running jump.

I had a regular for 1 hour Monday 0 Tuesday and a new client for half an hour today and I turned my phone off around 1pm today as I really can't get my arse into gear when its this sporadic, I'm thinking of taking the rest of the week off from new punters as I'm not going to waste my credits paying for AT tomorrow or Friday.
Start a new fresh week Monday and hopefully it will be back to business as usual.

Phone in general is quieter this week. On sunday had 3 one hours (2 regs), Monday 1 hour and 2 halves (2 regs & 1 new) then yesterday just 1 half (new) and today 2 half's (both new). However past 2 days I've had a cold so even doing those few appts has taken it out of me! Btw I told all 3 I had a cold and they were all still happy to see me. I only had 1 serious enquiry from someone who said he will wait until I'm better

I did very well on Monday - first day of tour in an area i haven't been before. 6 bookings completed, 1 no show, 1 cancellation.
Tuesday had 3 bookings in the morning, then 3 no shows in a row. Got pissed off and ended up drinking a bottle of wine on my own  :-[
Today had 2 bookings in the morning. First one was a monster dick which was so fucking painful. Luckily the next client (who had pre-booked) was small so I was able to give full service. Then packed up and went home. Had a call from one of my regs who only likes oral when I got in so just got back from an outcall with him. Busy on cam though; ?165 gross between 7am-2pm, in between the two bookings.

I'm planning to just cam all day tomorrow so I can give my fanjo a rest  :D

Yesterday was slow for me and my friend. We're both on tour. Other girls were slow too and we're all in different parts of the country.

I'm at the start of a 10 day tour so I've no choice but to suck it up. The only bonus is that the is hotel is a cheap ibis and the nicer hotel I'm going to next for 6 nights is already paid for.

The weather was just shocking yesterday so that might have something to do with it.

Let's hope today is better.

That's terrible. It's early yet.

I know it's a no no, but in your position I would double book. But do it with staggered confirmation and arrival times and if you have to blow someone off, do it with a grovelling apology and offer a discount if they'll wait.

What area of the country are you in? Where I am (Sussex) appt system works very well and its very rare for me to get No Shows. Most areas I've toured - same. However there are a few areas where possibly first come first served may work.

Well I don't have any definitive answers and its not a way I'd work BUT some in Glasgow (where I worked long term) work with this system and prefer it. I would imagine it'd work best in areas where an individual experiences very high volumes of TWs and NSs ...

For example I gave up on Brum/Swindon due to massive amounts of TWs & cheapskates so it may work in those areas.

Text to confirm an hour or so before ?

Or do you ask them to call when they are near ?

Some cients have also been messed about by girls so if you dont sound like a sound solid bet they could potentially be put off

Failing that are you sure you dont have someone trying to sobotage you ?

Its dead for me at the moment, but then I have very limited availability at the moment with College, literally only free Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday 5pm-7pm and Saturday 1pm-8pm and as I only do outcalls, require 24hrs notice and have stopped showing my number for now its not the best.

Just a thought - do you really need to do this? I think it would put some men off cos they seem to decide they want it and expect you to be ready for them half an hour later!

So it seems it's quiet for many of you...  :( I thought it was just me, as the last 10 days...nothing...and it was only the week before that I had 5 bookings in 4 days (I had to refuse one as it coincided with another). And on AW, so many TW...  >:( They enquire, you reply, all good and then nothing... :FF So what's happening? Is it maybe Christmas preparations? Or are they afraid of my new photos?!?!

Yes I do, as I said I'm at College, plus I live like an hours bus ride from nearest large town and an hours train ride or an hour and a halfs bus ride from the nearest city.

As I only accept initial contact by email at the moment, same day bookings wouldn't really be feasible anyway.

It's the weekend before payday for most people, so wasn't expecting a big one. I've done two half hours and have another booked at 8pm.
Took over ?100 on cam though :)

I'm not sure if its that my rates are too high (but then it was still quite when they were lower) as my services are very limited and I only do oral with as well as having limited availability and not doing incalls or even same day bookings.

PS: If anyone would mind having a look at my site and maybe my Adultwork page (I would PM the link) too thanks

I had a good Black Friday in Brighton. Dropped my rates for this weekend and advertised as a Black Friday sale. (10 off half hour, 20 off hour.)

I'm doing a Cyber Monday sale (this is the day when online sales are supposed to rocket) when I'll be dropping my cam prices to the minimum... all day. I'm touring from Tues so I reckoned I'd do a day of pure cam so I can rest my fanjo!  :D

I find this to be the case too, if you show Available Today on a weekend! For some reason it attracts so many weekend weirdos and timewasters. I paid for AT some weeks ago on a Saturday, and I only got complete idiots calling and zero bookings.

This profession is very unreliable. One week I can be inundated with bookings, and the next week I might be lucky to get one time waster all week and not earn a penny!
I'm trying to get into the mind set of saving as much as I can for emergency weeks like that. Even if it's just a tenner from ever booking I do as that could still work out at about ?200 a month (or ?2400 per year) without it making much of a dent in my income xxx
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Kendall on 28 November 2016, 01:46:58 pm
I always try and have between 200-600 saved incase of an emergency, makes life a lot less stressful knowing I've got something even if it isn't much

I hate that when they ring for an outcall without checking the important details such as services and price!!!  As soon as they ask I'm mentally planning the journey, then they haven't even checked. A guy Saturday afternoon ask me for an outcall to Chesterfield (which is an average of 45 minutes each way...All arranged and he then says how much is half an hour!!! I've never done half hour outcalls its just not worth it, then he waits until 9pm to call and say he decided he does want me to visit him for an hour after all that!  Needless to say I didn't go.

As soon as they ask for 15 minutes I just know they hardly want to pay anything, every single one of them asks for a lower price than what I say it is for 15 mins. One yesterday who I've never seen before, when I said I could do a short booking tried telling me its 'normally' the price he suggested and that I will enjoy him as he's respectful ... (as if he's doing me some sort of favour haha) He promptly got told that he needs to look for someone in his price range and that all my clients are respectful and I enjoy them. Bartering is such a turn off, if I want to do any special offers I'll do it when I choose not when some random guy dictates !!

Method number 1 for ensuring a booking - putting ones dinner in the oven! Managed to scoff it down just in time before a newbie arrived!

Method number 2 for ensuring a booking - take available today off, change location to tomorrows destination, take out contacts, off with the make-up and all set to veg out in front of the tv for the night, only for a lovely regular to call (forgot the final step of putting phone on silent!)

Oh another tried and tested formula is to step out the house and carry on with daily errands/shopping!

If it hadn't been for my rent being due tomorrow I would've given up on today long before I eventually did!

I've been saying this for a while now: Since the Brexit referendum things slowed down considerably in London. November was shit and this is the slowest December of my life. I was talking with another lady on the phone yesterday and she was agreeing on the same thing, like there has been a "shift" to the London economy.

I got my nails done last week for the first time in ages as needed a little pick me up but if things carry on as they are they'll be coming back off when they need doing again an I'll be painting them myself.

I've skinted myself to do it but just soo so glad that i have 90% of my Xmas shopping out of the way. Just wanted the stress of that out of the way then if it doesn't pickup at least I've got my presents.

Me too, I dislike spending unless I have to I have a set limit for shopping and bills etc the rest I prefer to save.

I'm not a spendthrift at all either, I sometimes think I should blow the lot and fuck it but I wouldn't because I think of my retirement days.

It's very slow for me too. I'm extra careful with money now. I'm doing my own nails now and cutting my own hair too. I save almost ?100 a month on that alone. Also, cutting down on loads of things. Anyway, I have enough off stuff now.... Just saving up for something very important.

November this year was the same as last year. Hope Dec this year will be better, as I was tired off everything last Dec and could made a lot more.... :(

First day in my new incall flat and new area (the next county) but it was pretty dire. In the end had 3 half hours but boy do I feel I had to work for them - or work through all the timewasters at least! I even double booked (something I've never done before) and neither of them turned up! My screening is no different to how it is anywhere else! I just hope I'm getting all the idiots out the way who will then make way for the genuine guys.

Yes it is exceedingly quiet this week but November my earnings were bang on overall so it still was ok.  We shall see how December pans out normally it is really good in the run up to Xmas so I can only conclude that this week is a small glitch and not worth stressing over.  It is still unsettling however.

Today's getting on my nerves already. Originally had 2 1 hour bookings booked in but 1 cancelled so first hour is at 12.30. Was hoping to squeeze something else in before hand but looks unlikely.

A reg i haven't seen in ages text me this morning asking the earliest i can do which is 11am. That must have sounded alright to him cause he then continued with text tennis asking if i'm where I'm usually based then said he can't do 11, was looking for about 10am before he meets the wife. Why continue to text then if you can't do 11am  :FF

Then last night another idiot i put up with for quite times. Messaged me asking if i can do anything before 11am and dribbled on to me how he wants to spend an hour "licking your wet pussy" (his words). Surprise surprise, nothing booked after a ton of txt tennis again despite me telling him i can do 10am. He's done this quite a few times in the past and to my friend also. It's as if he loves the thrill of the chase but 9 times out of 10 doesn't intend on booking. My patience is running short lately and if he txts me today messing about which I guarantee he will, i'm gunna end up snapping!

Then just to round it off, got a call 10mins ago asking for tomorrow despite my profile say 'Off' tomorrow  :FF Give me strength!

I hate these texters so don't get involved. I will send one reply to a text answering their question and say for anything else they need to call me as I won't be replying to anymore texts. The number who don't call is frightening! That's one way of dispelling the timewasters but still some get through who you do talk to and all seems ok until they don't show! I've already had one myself today  >:(

Hope they both turned up!

It's so draining the bullshit we have to put up with! My "no show"ended up turning up over 30 mins late. As I didn't have anything else I saw him. Gets in and then searches his pockets for his wallet, out comes the "I've left it in my car" they must think we're stupid! Sent him packing and actually had two 30 min appts turn up after which I saw that the waster had sent me a text saying he had now found his wallet (2 hours later!) and was outside waiting to see me!

My one and only client today was a no show. He confirmed, I sent him the details of where to park, he replied with a "I'm looking forward to meeting you" and not long afterwards I realised he'd deleted his AW account, so it wasn't too big a surprise when he failed to turn up.

Looking at my records I was very busy this time last year. I've got a lovely regular tomorrow to look forward to but I think I'm going to have to have a serious think about my current business.

Totally dead yesterday, not one client and today 1.5 hours so far which means I've just broken even. My last 3 working days (I work pt) were also pretty dire. I'm getting worried. I have a lot of hotels booked and now I'm hoping just to pay them off and make a small profit. At least it's motivated me to start thinking about other work more strategically. This is just awful.

Re the man who kept/keeps texting ! They either book or don't book with me, once we have agreed a time etc they get nothing from me other than directions and a call to give out door number when parked.  I have cancelled bookings with men who think they can send numerous "lead up" messages as they are either pains in the butt or time wasters.

Post by: xSweetCheeksx on 03 December 2016, 12:16:07 am
Well today turned out to be decent in the end but i seriously had to friggin graft for it!
Where to start. For 1 my phone never stopped! I had 2 half hours and 2 1hour bookings. Every one of them was the energetic, full of stamina types. In between bookings i was trying to have some time to eat but constantly was being interupted. A reg phoned asking for as soon as poss, i asked if he could in half an hour, wasn't good enough so i said ok i can put dinner on hold but then he wasn't interested and didn't book, what is with them  :FF Then straight after that another reg txts asking to see me in 20mins. My dinner was red hot and i didn't want to chuck it down my neck when i was starving so I asked if he could see my in 30mins instead, he just put 'i can't sorry but will see you next time x'. Me desperately needing the work txt him telling him i could see him in 20mins and he agree. What on earth does 10mins difference make?? Had to wolf my food down and didn't enjoy it but this is what happens when you can't afford to turn down work  :FF

Had a 30min later in the day, he cancelled right when the booking was due to start  :FF
Then after one of those mental, non stop days it gets to 5.30 with my last booking which was an hour. I honestly couldn't be bothered. After 3 previous bookings with the kind of guys who mess your hair and makeup up, i looked like shit and felt like shit. My guy walks through the door, we get chatting and he drops it in there that he does those shitty reviews on punting sites. Great, just when I'm not feeling my best. Wasn't feeling the booking at all. He was there pounding away at me in doggy and i could've cried. I'd had enough and felt like having a melt down and giving him his money back but thought no, can never do that and the punters would have a field day reading a review like that. So carried on pretending to have an amazing time. God knows what this review will say  :-\ Bloody hate getting them!

Sorry for rambling. That was my day in a nutshell and i'm now all freshly showered and tucked up in bed and it feels AMAZING!  ;D

I was in Gatwick for two whole days with not a single booking.  Calls Thursday morning before check in time. Checked in then nothing but time wasters.  Lots of texters with dumb questions.  I started to feel exhausted from hours driving in the previous 24 hours and may have missed one traveller who could only do 1 am.

Friday was wanking heavy breathers, no shows, and men on my bareback blacklist.  And one from AW who asked me to tell him about myself. When I replied that everything relevant is on my profile where he found me, I got a petulant, I thought we could be friends.

Oh, and the Nigerian scammer that wrote in all caps and wants me to accompany him on a trip to Nigeria.  My response to him was unprintable and not in English. 

Then this morning, day 3 I had 3 one hour bookings back to back between 10 am and 1 pm.  Which covered the cost of hotel and parking.  Then nothing, allowing me to drive into a nearby town, and ransack local charity shops for quirky bargains.  Then one half hour this evening which covered the cost of advertising - I really went to town with advertising, but it didn't seem to make a difference.

So I literally spent 3 days in Gatwick and just literally made back what I put in.  At least I made that because when I went to bed last night, i was resigned to not making anything at all. And also seriously thinking I need to jack this in.

What I find odd about Gatwick is that everyone that came just happens to live locally, with two driving down from Brighton to see me.    No travellers, as I had thought.

I'm going to pack some of my stuff into my car now.  It's embarrasing how much stuff I have (LOL) so I can leave her first thing, grab brekkie at Ikeas, and then feel unbeholden to this job.

Sorry to hear about your crap tour. I know it's no consolation but at least you made your money back and didn't come back having made a loss. But that's not really the idea is it? As business is so unpredictable I've given up touring now. OK I have a work flat to pay for but if I have a rubblish day or 2 it's not the end of the world as there will be good ones which even it out. I also added up rent plus bills which (in my area) works out to be cheaper than hotels and travelling costs.

Btw when in Gatwick I also found it was mainly local guys I saw and not travellers! I guess the same could be said for Heathrow, Stansted etc... I've only worked at both of those once but again it was local/passing guys who I saw and not those getting or coming off a flight.

Neither slow nor busy...amazing amounts of fuckwits, cheapskates and morons. One today who had the nerve to ask for 20 minutes for ?40 when my 30 minute price (my shortest booking) is double that. Also an increase in what I call the 50/50s the ones where its in the balance as to whether they will cancel, no show etc, already had two of those types of cancellations this week.

I have had 1.5 days feeling too poorly to work with a migraine, which hasn't helped my temper especially the ?40 for 20 minute guy...my response was I assume that's a joke, I'm laughing anyway.

Well I've decided to turn my availability off and go for food and wine.
I can't complain as I've made a good profit overall this week. It's my 3rd visit to Glasgow but it will be my last. If I'd had my car I would have fucked off yesterday.

When the phone isn't even ringing then you know it's time to shift your sorry ass.

There were 15 girls on tour up here on Monday and scheduled for all week. As of this morning only 3 have stayed so that is testament to high dire it is.

I am an optimist so believe it will pick up before Xmas.

I've done very well in London the past two weeks. Made my months target this week alone. and tonight I cammed for a bit the first time in forever and made a decent bit. I took free view off which helped a great deal

I'm just riding this wave because Christmas is coming and  I've heard it's dead in January so have to squirrel away as much as possible!   :-\

Has anyone worked New Year's Eve? I'm in two minds  ???

NYE is a Saturday this year, so I can foresee people going out and drinking basically all day. I won't see anyone who's been drinking or taking drugs, so I will probably just plan to cam that day. I don't celebrate NYE myself so I'm planning to work NYD. I think by that time there will be loads of married men bored of being off work who are wanting a little pick me up.

I worked last night, did 2 half hours and an hour which was enough for me with it being evening and i was knackered. Done 2 1hour bookings today. Hoping to get at least another hour before 5 so that i can go home early. Phone's gone quite though  :-\

I've never worked a saturday not missing much by the sound of it lol. I dont go out NYE either (i hated starting the New Year with a hangover, usually set the tone for the year!) thats why i was thinking of working. May just cam or go for dinner and work New Years Day instead then.

Thanks xx

Most guys get paid the 22nd so no doubt you ladies should find it busy either a few days before or a few days after.

Despite doing everything I could to promote myself today a grand total of one call. The guy said something sounding like mehhh, that was it...silence so I said since you aren't talking I'm terminating the call. Background sounded like he was in a pub...

I was trying to prove myself wrong, that Saturdays aren't always dead...

I've decided I'm moving To Wishlists' area! Since my area 9/10 Saturdays have like zero interest.  1/10 its busy but its a toss up as to whether its busy with actual clients or with TWs!
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?

I've had two bookings today, one new client and one returner. I hadn't put AT on and have left my phone on its own at home most of the day while I've gone shopping, so not too worried.

I'm in London Tue-Thu next week and that's where I'm worried about being quiet, as the train plus hotel is expensive.

I'm trying to be sanguine about these things: "There will be water if God wills it" but then I'm also of the mind "Pray for rain, but also dig a well"!

Past 2 days have been OK for me. 2 hours and a half yesterday and 2 half's and an hour today.

In the past I have had mixed experiences of Saturdays and weekends in general. It can certainly make the timewasters crawl out however recently weekends tend to be fine.

I just hope this steadiness continues throughout the month as I've got a big target to reach!

Really? You've earned less than ?70 a week?

Where are you advertising? If you're on AW, what features are you buying? Do you have your phone number on your profile? If you're outcall only, have you tried doing an incall day? Have you price checked yourself against other SWs in your area?

Hi ladies.. I'm in Manchester,doing incalls . I had a bit of time off for a family bereavement ,since then it's never really picked up again. I'm on AW & back page, available today,in the area search and showing the phone number. I am quite strict though ,I don't allow texts,private number calls or under 30. I've checked prices for other wg's in the area,im the same rate . It's puzzling me  :FF

My friend and I were in London last week as we were sharing  a photo shoot on the Saturday
It was really really busy for both of us
I was really surprised as I thought it would be dead but on the Friday we both had our first booking at 8am and didn't stop till 8pm Ans the day before was a half day but still very busy
We both could have carried on working till late as well as the phone was still very busy
Ive been off this week felt really ill and sluggish  and not back till wed but then i am working right through till mid jan then I plan to be off for a month

It's still dire for me at the moment. Had someone I have seen before supposed to be here for 12 and he hasn't showed and no contact. Had someone else ask if he can finger me, I said a bit but prefer it on the outside and he said he'll leave it then  :FF

What's going on?! Supposed to have an hour with someone I've seen before this evening but plenty of time for that to go tits up!

Yep I've got a 1 hopefully arriving now then an hour def , took a reg , and possibly a 4 pm so improving a bit , a lot of guys have said works gone frantic as everyone's realised it's Christmas and their finishing deadlines ! So maybe it'll pick up ?

So pathetic it makes you laugh doesn't it!

Picked up for me had an hour and a half and got another hour booked in for 6 with someone I've seen before. To see one more before then would be good but I'll be OK if that's my lot for today and I can settle down the night at 7!

A day of idiots is so much more exhausting than a day escorting! Thought I had a booking tomorrow but deadly silence when I remind him his booking comes under specialist services i.e. more money....

Got a couple of regs coming up this week but fed up with it all already.

I don't think escorting will ever die, unless it's fully legalised and has no stigma attached, which will never happen in our lifetimes, I think.

It's certainly possible that our profit margins may go down as hotel/condoms/accommodation prices rise with inflation but more and more sex workers on the market push prices downwards.

Well after my 3 no shows earlier, I had another cancellation but was then able to book a guy in last minute who came for 90 minutes and gave me ?180 tip  :o So all is well in VC Land, haha  :D

Just an observation. I met two friends in central London today, and last week we tried about 20 restaurants before we could book a table online in the 6-7pm period. All the restaurants, bars, cafes around Oxford Street looked to be heaving from 5pm, and everywhere was still busy at 9pm. In other words, I think people are just doing a lot of socialising, office parties etc.

Strange as all of a sudden I'm getting more evening bookings (between 5&8 pm) whereas oftentimes I get daytime bookings. Maybe some are using a night out as cover to come see me!

Today one TW phone call that's it I'm bored out of my brains. Got a booking at 7 seems an awful long way off...

Yeah I find it hard to believe that 5 or 6 guys all have an urge to call me within minutes of each other to book at short notice (when I already have a pre arranged booking) But it happens to me all the fucking time!!!!!!

I find two hours really hard unless I know the guy well and that we click. I have one guy who always books two hours and it's just a strain. He always wants to go at least 3 times and he's not interested in me getting off at all. He wants loads of oral and I know the next day my jaw will be killing me.

I had a guy on this tour who popped three times in 25 minutes and then asked to leave and refund the difference from an hourly rate. Normally I'd have told him to get stuffed but this guy was clearly a drug dealer so I just wanted him out, so gave him the cash back.

After a quiet day yesterday in East London, today was very busy and ended up turning down bookings after my last two both had massive cocks (Pasante Super King job!)

God I dread long bookings,  but on topic: had a decrease in volume of booking requests lately but increase of long booking requests.

Think those that have the time want to treat themselves for Christmas,  but most of my clients are busy with Christmas famy duties,  being such respectable family men (cough).

I took a 15 min booking out of desperation, as I rarely do those, and he's just cancelled!
It was my only booking for the day.
At least I'm getting chance to catch up on other things though, got to find something positive out of it!

I felt under the weather today and tho my phone was on and plenty of missed calls, didn't feel up to answering. Should have just switched off since the one time I answered I snapped at the poor dude. Mind he was a bit of an idiot. When I checked VMs it was all guys wanting extremely short notice which I don't do anyway. Maybe last chance for a bit of nooky for a lot of guys, more family duties from next week I guess.

God I dread long bookings,  but on topic: had a decrease in volume of booking requests lately but increase of long booking requests.

Think those that have the time want to treat themselves for Christmas,  but most of my clients are busy with Christmas famy duties,  being such respectable family men (cough).

I'm the same, been much quieter but not done too badly as I've had more one and two hour bookings (I think the majority of mine are half hour).

So far it's very quiet, which is irritating given Decembers are usually really good here. Doubly so considering that I've had to cough up around 250? in veterinary expenses the past week. ><

Yeh so quiet for me today. Was supposed to have an hour with someone I've seen before this morning but he cancelled but did have a visit from a regular this afternoon for an hour (but only stayed 30 mins - bonus!)

Will give it another couple of hours and then finish if I haven't had another one before then

Haha same as me pretty much. My 3pm turned up, paid for an hour but stayed for 40mins.
Been ridiculously quite and i was getting fed up so left at 4.30. Get home and surprise surprise, an easy regular text wanting 30mins. Sods law! Oh well, not much of a profit made today. Thank god for savings!

Yeh slow today aside from TWs but didn't expect much else last Saturday before Xmas. Of course after seeing my super large guy I get calls but no way am I seeing anyone else, my fou fou needs a break.

Crappy day for me I had a record of 3 cancellations in one day. Another guy booked but kept asking for services I don't offer on the phone. When I told him I didn't offer them he said it was ok so I took the booking. Something about his manner gave me a bad feeling so I decided to cancel after hanging up which I never do.

 TWs just doing my head in. I had 3 other calls from clients wanting owo which I don't offer. I managed one booking in the end but ended up being a boundary pusher. Wondering where all the decent clients are as they all seem to be awful at the moment!

I'd love to, but unfortunately our upload speeds are such that it's unrealistic from technical PoV. Already contemplated it with SO but until we move it's a pipedream really. I'm in the countryside, in an area with notoriously bad internet connection (not in UK, mind).

What is it lately with regulars, even they're wasting my time!
Yesterday had a reg texting me then rang and was on the phone about 5mins being intrusive and asking basically what bookings I've done (getting a lot of this lately).... Like non of your fucking business! He said he'd call back if he can book. Knew he wouldn't and surprise surprise he didn't. Like cheers for wasting 5mins of my time being a nosy twat!  :FF

Then a reg who seems to text lately and talk shit then find a reason why he can't book. I knew it would come to nothing so shouldn't reply really  :FF Do even the regs now get off wasting our time!

Today has been semi decent compared to yesterday anyway. Done 2 45mins, a half and got a half at 4pm. He's a newbie so hoping he'll turn up then might sack today off at 6.

Had a 1 hour and also a 30 min today, and a 90 min yesterday and a 90 min on tue. Ticking along but this time last year I was inundated with bookings and made a small fortune. Definitely finding now that this career path is giving me a reasonably comfortable lifestyle, but I'm certainly not living in any kind of luxury like I used to

Im home now and phone has been very busy i did  a few bookings in the daytime   , Im working tomorrow and have a few bookings lined up as well so fingers crossed

But I will say christmas time brings out the total idiots on the phone ive had a few guys that want 2 hrs and when I say call back in 5 they take 20 mins so by that time ive taken another booking/ or made other plans 

I also had my first proper no show today since September as well so xmas time is dickhead time it seems

I cammed for 4 hours on Xmas Day (2 hours 8.30-10.30am and again 10pm-midnight) and did about ?80. Could have taken bookings but was with family during the day.

Yes I do that but *some* awkward ones will then ask for a time that I've already posted well in advance that I'm not available. I don't get it, all I can think is that the ones who do this are deliberately trying to annoy me to see how far they can go before I snap. I think its a form of attention seeking...One the other day who always plays this silly game of 'are you around this week' was told to save wasting his own time to look on my aw profile for my availability as I keep it updated at all times, used the old excuse "My work computer won't let me on there and you don't have it on your website" Funny how they're both adult sites so if one is blocked the other is too!!!

I'm showing as available today but am not in the mood and boy oh boy is it just as well.  :FF

I returned a missed call, only to be asked, ' What's your name?' BLOCK

I have had 2 calls from VS (who are really pissing me off right now) with guys asking how much I charge. It might just be me but this is the biggest thing that pisses me right off.

I have just modified said ad, to state that if they can't be bothered to scroll down to my prices and read what services I offer,  then they can book someone else.

So, the 2nd ignoramus who phoned from VS said, ' You don't want to see me then?' I told him that no, I didn't because he couldn't be bothered to read anything in my profile. I am not inviting these fuckers into my home, no fucking way!!!

I usually tour and am more amenable. I think I just need a break this week.

Phone really busy more work than i can handle as i limit the number of bookings each day but could easily have done 6-8 bookings every day this week a mix of 30 mins and 60 mins

Quite yesterday but i could only work the evening and did an hour and a half hour. Sacked it off at 9 and left cause I was too tired.
Today so far has been a piss take and all this is making me moody AF! Got to the incall flat I'm working from at 9.45 so bright and early. It's now 11.45 and all I've had is a guy who completely pissed me about and is now in my phone as 'Time Waster!'. Not happy as i turned away other work for this guy.

Got an hour at 1 with a newbie and half at 2.30 also with a newbie. Praying they turn up and that i get at least another hour on top of this. Don't want another wash out of a Saturday :FF

I had half hour with a newbie yesterday and that was it, I hadn't put Available on though as had a lot of errands to do and wanted to chill with family.

However I went on cam in the evening from about 6pm to 10pm and it was DEAD. I had ONE group session and that was it. Never known it so quiet on cam. I'm logging in now for Sunday morning and hoping it's better.

I had 20 missed calls yesterday which I suspect were mostly from TWs. But I wasn't working at all so i will never know. Today I can work but Sunday's are usually dead so I bet my phone doesn't even ring once!

I am having moron Monday today
1) can you do a outcall to us we have ?50 you know
2) lovely guy I have seen before always forgets the property number so i ask him to wait round the corner if he has forgotten again and I will give him the details. He rings me and says i am in your road but i have forgotten the number I can see him 2 doors away on his phone and he wants to drive 2 doors and park not obvious that at all!
3) I state on my profile i do not see asian men due to previous bad experiences man rings I ask if he is asian yes he says but i am a British asian that still makes you asian and while i know it is grouping everyone of that ethnicity together it is my choice
4) text just said "postcode"

I am just waiting to see if tomorrow is timewaster Tuesday or if it will be w***er Wednesday. My patience is running low and it is only lunchtime

Having had a mega mega busy period since September right  through Xmas and new year and yesterday today is dead it's my first actual dead day since September ,Practically everywhere I have worked since September has been ?500 plus a day as long as was willing to work
Yesterday I did 8 bookings by 8pm -  today nothing I might have 2 one at 7 & one at 9 and it didn't help that I felt knackered this morning and slept in but it's def dead
Normally this week is ok and next week is the really dead week

Wednesday my phone always goes mental ( I can't work too much at mo)
I always think when I worked in my old career I used to dread Wednesdays and always booked myself out on meetings etc just to break up the week ( I kept my own diary)
So I always think it's mid-week syndrome ?

Strangely, Wednesdays are normally my quietest day, too. Looking back on my old job, I think it tends to be the day when you hit your stride at work and so are less prone to seek distractions.

I'm low volume, but have been ticking over OK so far this month, which is good because I couldn't work the second half of December.

Wednesdays have always been rubbish for me, I didn't even bother show my phone number today instead I semi took the day off. I would have seen any regulars if they called but my phone has been completely dead maybe 2 phone calls all day. AT is good but I find I have to have it running every day for a week or so before I see any benefit from it but once I do that it is busier.

Last week was my best week in months but this week I've only done an hour. Sod's law that's after a great week the next week is rubbish. I have been a bit poorly though so need the rest. Have had a spate of clients asking my rates which are clearly written on my profile and then saying they'll call back when I give my rates. I'm loath to lower them!

I agree with the comments saying this january has gone quiet quickly.
I did 2 tours last week both ended up being 3/4 under target.
Got to liverpool yesterday, did 4 half hours and nothing so far today.
This is my last tour until feb 9th now. Looking forward to some time off, will do outcalls in my own town if the works there but dont expect to get more than 2 in the 4 weeks im off x

Same here with the half hours. I've done 3 halves today and got another at 5. If no one else books by the end of my 5pm then I'm done for the day. Stayed at a hotel the past 2 days and I've done better than i expected so thanking god as i have so much to pay out at the moment, a decent week has been long due. I only do this part time but had a 2 hour outcall on Tuesday as well which gave me a good boost along with today money wise.

First week of January was fine but this week has been ridiculous. And what really passes me off is that the phone dies when am available but when am not available and there isn't any possibility to see a client the phone goes crazy. The worst time for me so far has been the beginning of summer 2016. The European championship plus all the excitement around the Brexit thing made the work so slow....hopefully it will get better soon.  I am very optimistic about this year.
What I hate is that weeks like this are giving me too much stress and desire to retire as after I cover what I spend for accommodation i get the same amount of money as I was in normal job but then when good weeks come they are really good and often worth 2 3 months of normal job  ;D
And also it's so unpredictable like if u have some limit like 3 clients a day u never feel safe for the next day so u always have to push urself and see more and more so u save the week. So annoying  :o

For me, this is why I will always keep 30m appointments. Sure, there is higher proportion of time spent getting ready and clearing up versus booking compared with longer bookings, but I'd rather have 60 quid than nout.

Post by: SweetAngel on 14 January 2017, 04:51:35 pm
Seeing many clients is draining and not so much physically as mentally. But I've learned my lesson.  Once the day started with many calls, the phone was going crazy. I saw 3 clients and I was thinking "ok, am not in mood for more, tomorrow I will work more to reach my target". The phone kept ringing non stop but I didn't pay any attention. Next day I was super excited, in very good mood full of energy...but the phone was dead. I was so pissed of with myself. The day finished with one half hour. I wanted to cry hahaha. So since then I've learned my lesson that if one day is good it doesn't mean that the next day will be good at all. So now am pushing myself more. In this job I feel like we need more discipline and self control than any other job lol.

What a fucking day!! I get maybe 2-3 no shows a year on average, and today - two! One just didn't turn up and no response to text. The second I texted as he was running 15 minutes late; in his reply, he asked what I was wearing from him. I didn't bother replying. Twenty minutes later, still no sign - text him and he says I didn't reply to his text. Then says he got stuck in traffic but could turn round if I wanted him to. Told him not to bother.

yesterday
one outcall - refused to do as it turned out to be a in a caravan in a storage yard, then family turned up so i had to cancel a 30 min
Today I have already had a 90 min booking cancel

Nothing else booked today yet so I do not think it is going to be a good week with a start like this

It's supposed to be the most depressing day of the year today. I ain't holding much hope for bookings  :-\

Actually saw my max of 2 clients, so it was a good day for me  :) Today, however, dead.

He didnt answer in the next five minutes and i tried to call - no answer. And around 7 he texted me "hey babe do u do 15min?"" So annoying. Ive missed a good client because of him. Whats pleasure they feel from that?!

This week which in the past has been the deadest week ever had actually been pretty good 
Mainly regs but a lot of 2 hrs & 90 mins and a 2 hour outcall with a reg 
Mon tue wed were pretty busy but it's tailed off a bit towards the end of the week

Up to now this January has been very good to me, but yesterday and today my phone's been very quiet regarding general enquiries, so far today my phone hasn't rung once, not too surprising as its Wednesday and my quietest day of the week I decided last week to take today off and get my hair done so its worked out well.
Hopefully business as usual tomorrow.

So far I've taken as many naps as I could.
I've moved into my new flat and I think I'll start unpacking. I have this absolutely gorgeous set of bedroom furniture waiting to be paid for and delivered, hmmm, I need to get some work first hahaha.
I think I'll organise my make up. But your hair cutting idea is very tempting:)))

if you feel better, why not?
To me `old` can be very beautiful! clients like `old` life`s experience! not all looking just for physical activity sex, they like conversation, personality. In my experience this kind of clients are the best and you really enjoy time with them. Body and mind!

Yep evenings are mega difficult for me , days not that easy but can manage , I have the odd evening booking if it's someone I know and knows the score , but I need days really . I'm considering a hotel this weekend coming as weekends are impossible for me and I need to work if I can .

Last week was good for me, lots of outcalls which are normally few and far between, and I tend to focus on outcalls.

Then this week I've booked a hotel for incalls and it's been quiet as anything! The last time I booked a hotel incalls I couldn't keep up with the emails.  ???
I do have one from a repeat client in the morning though, at least. So not a complete waste I suppose.

My Monday morning 1 hour regular was away this week and my phone has been dead, I had a fantastic January but the last couple of days of have been dead. I am now waiting for my regulars to get horny again. They tend to come in waves so I'm putting my feet up this week.

I've not been able to work much this week due to my period coming on, but I've noticed that the telephone calls are less than usual in Leeds. Going away on holiday next week, hoping that when I do incalls when I get back towards the end of Feb, that it'll pick up. x

I've had more than the usual tosspots this week. They're all coming out the woodwork for sure.

The busiest day I've had this week was Wednesday, which was fab but it has been slow the rest of the week, not terrible,  but slow.

I have a 2 hour booking with a reg tomorrow morning so I'm delighted about that plus I'm hoping it's generally just busier.

Roll on March.

I wonder why this is?. Usually the weekend brings them out more, welcome to 2017 with an increase of them.

I think maybe because they are changing the cigarettes to brown packaging and the cigs taste different too. That could play a part. It was announced about the Bretix being published could this be a reason?.

In Belfast it is known to be many time wasters arghh, those times I love it getting sain clients.  From now on I will cut them off quickly the idiots.

Which periods are slow? I only started at the beginning of December but while enquires have gone up considerably, bookings are rare. This week had only have two booking.

Signed up with an agency going to start with them next weekend.

Hoping things will get better

There's no rhyme nor reason. I've got friends all over the country in different places and I can be busy, they're slow and vice versa.

I have noticed it is significantly quieter this month than any other but I attribute that to February just being the last month of winter. I don't function so well in winter and like AA, I feel like hibernating and am slow and lethargic.

Add to that the credit card hangover from Christmas and you're bound to get a slower month.

Still, I've made in a week what it used to take me 3 weeks in a well paid civvy job to earn and that always helps me keep things in perspective.

Ha ha I love my collection of 'borrowed ' bathrobes and slippers , hilton, Marriot and a variety of emblemed slippers ,the hotel girls have given me a few when I've tipped.
I always do on arrival once I've asked if they're on that landing all week , I've had some lovely girls and nibbles / bottles of water etc ,to take away in the car without even asking for them .
However my towel collection is rather large , I just find it irresistible lol

Ohhhhh I'm relieved. I was worried i was the only one suffering from the towel syndrome:) apart from being shopaholic I'm also towelholic. Some hotels have those nice smelling shower gels (normal sized bottles) and I got some from the maids. I call it "fair trade" when the maid gets tipped and I get my supplies.

Ha ha ha even my bookings if they take me away do a little collection for me ( that's hysterical) when I hear a shout from the bathroom " it's ok I've cleaned up in here for you " ..."shall I put it in your suitcase...oh and I'm a summing slippers as well" I say "yep" and laugh.

I have two wicker baskets filled with potions and lotions, shampoos etc for the shower.
But as I live alone I also am partial to the condiments, I have tons of different mustards etc..oh I'm laughing to myself like a nutter !

Oh and a great bread board , night time cheese and biscuits !
Anyway on topic, just got a booking and then someone else wanted same time and neither can swap ,  mind you think I can only handle one now , just had a comfort eating session!!!!

I've had something most days but it's shocking isn't it , my only consolation is it's everywhere , I haven't checked my competition because I'm not lowering my fee , if on tour it'd be different but I'm not at my flat and even 1 a days ok but it's more the phone / email situation , usually that keeps me busy even if it doesn't result in bookings  ???

Agreed. Lowering our fees is the worst thing to do. It doesn't change anything. I know as I tried it last year.

I even put the dreaded 15 min on but there were no takers, they wanted half hours, so I took it down. Point proved.

So quite again which is making me completely lack motivation! Had an hour at 11am with one of the most irritating clients I've ever met, he was proper cringeworthy. Also overstayed his welcome!
Did a half hour at 12.45 and now don't have anything until 3pm which is another half hour and also got a half hour at 6.15. Just hoping they turn up, least then it won't be an entirely shit day. Hopefully get one more in between those 2 bookings.
I seem to be getting tons of half hours lately and hardly any hours like i used to  :-\

I tried that last year in London. It changes nothing apart from the fact that suddenly you may attract a few bareback morons. Plus when I decrease my rates because work is slow it has a huge impact on my mood (which is already bad as work is low) and my mood gets even worse and so there goes the vicious circle...

As to quickies I tried once last year. Did a few and I think I would rather starve than do quickies again, I guess I'm just not good at quickies and it was a miserable painful depressing experience.

However since I have just bought Grumpy Cat slippers matching my robe, a luxury that cost me a whole 2 pound of my hard earnt whore money I think I'll just close shop and go have a drink to celebrate the weekend  ;D

If you've got a flexible booking, you could try and get your regs in all on the same day and early the next morning before you would normally be due to check out (and ask for a later check out), then if your phone is quiet and you don't think it's worth staying more than a night or two, you could clear off home and get a refund for the unused nights.

Too much on as well this weekend, football and rugby. Sure they will start calling later.

February is a rugby month l think and with football it doesnt help, these men love their sport, cant complain much seen a few this morning cause l knew there is too much sport this weekend.

American super bowl tomorrow in the evening as well.

Yeah I think it's more the daddy duty than hubby duty. I have a few punters who just don't care that much about the wife however yes they tend to devote most of the weekend to the children.
So take kids plus sports plus general crappy February and here's the result.

Escorting put me off of men who pay for sex through most time wasters lack of respect. But have got a bit more faith in the other ones. Also escorting always made me feel like I had to lie when dating.

Therapy doesnt always work a year later I stopped, it made me worse off than when started. And another on here says similar.

I used to crave a bf for a long time but am more than happy with friends.

No desire at all for a bf for a long time a large portion are cheaters with 25% faithful respectable ones. While escorting can you tell me you see different?. I must have gone with at least 1000+ now over 5 years doing this.

So the odds are 25 over 100 pretty slim and it isn't like there are alot of them. Without escorting no problem but still will be cautious.

I wanted to add though a positive to come out of all this is we are more able to pick up on the cheating signs or any deciet. Escorts get a head start. :)

Just my view at the moment who knows in the future my view might change.

I do believe there are a "handful" of men out there who are faithful but even if I hit jackpot with one of these rare breeds, I would be inventing things in my head. I think I'm psychologically damaged beyond repair! And to think I married a client before!

It takes a lot of hard work and counseling on your part but it can work :).  And trust me you will need counselling if you ever decide to give up on the industry.

I have been needing Therapy for a long time now  :) And the longer I stay in the business the worse my head feels. I think this double life has destroyed my sanity!

I'm the same. I always find myself hilariously funny. Sometimes I just sit here and laugh to myself. Or talk to myself. Like today : "right, let's do that booking and then we can have lunch and take a nap"

Yup, I use "we" when me talks to me :)

Actually after lunch it has been steady I only do max 3 a day and i had a 30 min and a 2 hour outcall but i turned down a few as i was not up to speed after a slow start (baking cake can't be rushed) but showered and got sorted and saw the two so not a bad day really. I aim for 150 a day and made that

I always get calls when I'm not working or asleep. I did manage to do two today and booked one at five bevsue thought the two wouldn't come. I'm a bit tried so hopefully if he does come at five won't be too hard. The first two this morning were quite intense with me dominating. Sometimes it just easier to fuck or do oral.
Having days were they don't show like yesterday so trying to fit as many in as possible.

Last week I was at Tesco patiently standing in that huge line. Well, keeping myself company and mumbling. That poor young girl right in front of me thought I was upset with her for whatever reason and started apologising, I felt so silly!!!!
Back to the topic, I did an hour and then found out that yes of course I am on planetfreakingescort. So not a completely wasted day. But as Scarlet used to say, "tomorrow is another day", can't be arsed today!

Had an excellent last week of Jan/beginning Feb, past 2 days have been steady but today is absolutely dead! 4 calls. One person calling from my work flat area (I'll be there tomorrow), one just asking prices, another making an appt for next Thurs and to top it off a number I've got stored in my phone as "don't answer - ugly mugs"

Hoping this is just a mid-week blip!

Absolutely dead in London for both escort and cam. Just had a guy booked for half an hour, he got outside and I gave him my room number, then he disappeared. Texted me 10 minutes later claiming to have been stopped and searched by the police. Fucking address collector most probably. Dick.

Got an hour booked later this evening but unsure if he's going to show. Bit too enthusiastic on the phone iykwim.

Monday and Tuesday were ok today had a tw phone looking for a escort to take his size as the two girls he had booked had said he was too big for them but as expected when i asked him to text me the phone number of the hotel he was in, room number and the name he used on check in he did not reply, now stored a Step**n small d**k.

Then nothing before 1pm so I went out as it was so quiet but can back to 4 missed calls typical.

I should stop complaining because I'm at home this week and I don't want too much traffic here. Plus for someone who's kept their phone turned off most of the time since last Sun I'm not doing bad. It's bloody freezing here up North so I just put the kettle on before they arrive, poor things, I admire their courage!
Hell I may even buy real sugar tomorrow, so far they've been getting my canderel hahaha!

I normally comfortably do my required 3-5 hours a week but last week I did 1 hour and the same this week, I've got 2x1 hours booked in next week but so far Feb is pants.
My phone hasn't rung once so far today so its housework then feet up in my pjs watching tv this afternoon. I reckon Feb is going to carry on like this for me as the majority of regs gave me a brilliant January so its when they have the funds and get the urge to come back, I have to watch when its like this I don't lose my working mojo as its so easy to switch off.

Today was utterly dreadful from people asking me for 15 mins I don't offer to asking how big my tits are.

I had 2 half hours then it just died. If the guys that phoned me yesterday who wanted to book me today had actually phoned, I would have been fully booked, which just shows that they were twats as well.

I have actually found the last two weeks very good so I can't complain but I am taking next week off for the half term.

I'm still undecided about touring last week in Feb.

hi Nikki! not only you! everything is very quiet! ...
happens down... i learnt it! sometimes is very very good, sometimes moderate and sometimes very very bad!
i was always worried when it is like that...but .... i choice not too worrying about, it is the game!

i try to be happy and not worried because if not i miss my life!
I think that i should be happy anyway and this job allow me to earn more in a short time compare to other job where i m working more and i have less money and time!

so when it is like this i read, i take time for myself...nothing special, but i put dedication in my passion, try not feel guilty and scared for tomorrow!

it is hard and challenging sometimes this job, but this is what i like..... feel excited and adventure!

So today i am going to take a wonderful long hot shower with a bodybutter time!

Enjoy today because tomorrow or other days you ll be busy!

This is why I occasionally triple book when feeling the odds are stacked up against me. :) I double book mostly though and so far only a few showed at different times.I double booked yesterday and a good job top as felt he was a no show with all the texts after booking.  I wouldn't risk it if they all booked for the same time.

Luckily the triple bookees haven't clashed as of yet but in Belfast all this double booking up becomes the norm.This is what I am finding recently.

I used to get anxious over but business is business. And we can loose out financly with a no show after declining a booking for. I learned my lesson not to have them be rude to me.

A few clients are very well though a bit like doing a lot of sifting to find the good ones. It is very profiting here though one lady I recommended here and helped with advice. She is very happy, I knew she would like it here. :)

I don't feel risky to quadruple book yet lol. But Belfast is the place if so hence many no shows. It is a lovely city to browse through except some clients who are not punctual.

One thing I always remember clients saying to me is that my telephone manner even if they did not book me was what made them reconsider me for a later date.  Telephone manner is always important in attracting new clients just as much as it is for us, well was for me.

Today started okay....well phones were ringing and i had two lined up practically one after the other.
I really thought i looked great as well.
Anyhow the first bloke turned up and did the whole 'forgot his wallet in the car' routine.
I thankfully haven't had a walkout in some time so was taken aback but determined not to let it ruin my day.
Another one was due shortly after and to my horror he did exactly the same thing. The only thing that stood out was his rehearsed routine pulling a horrified face with the realisation that he 'left his wallet in the car' ... at this point i just wanted to die.
I thought what the hell was wrong with me.
He later text and apologised.
Was on a roll lately and got my confidence back. Have two bookings lined up this afternoon and am scared they will do a runner also :(

Even if they do not want to see you that day.  I have had clients tell me how if they do not make an appointment there and then the girls will tell them to Fluff off and that is a big no no.  Any phone call is a potential client at any time might not be that day.

Those guys, the ones who call and inquire and sound ok are for me potential clients, so as long as their manners are ok I see no reason to bark at them. It's marketing really and yes, some of them call to book when they are in the same town as me or when they can.

By "how they don't get it" I meant how some men clearly don't get the idea of telephone manners when calling us. After all when you walk into a restaurant you don't go traight up to a table, grab a chair and bark your order.
Or maybe some do...?

If you're pleasant and respectful to me, I'll be the same right back. If you bark at me, I'm busy and you're blocked.

During my short stint as a waitress, I've experienced plenty people who do just that. Fair share of folks just do not view people in customer service as actual thinking entities, methinks, and that includes our line of work.

Lol. I so agree. I've worked as PA and in sales etc. The reason I screen by phone is because I can quickly tell a lot by the way they address me. It's true that some phone calls just leave me speechless. I will never understand how they can expect us to see them for an hour if they can't even treat us correctly 2 min over the phone???

I think it's a mixture. February is usually dire, especially the first three weeks, but yes, you will notice a drop-off once you're no longer 'fresh meat' on AW. Now is a good time to refresh/expand your advertising.

I don't want to sound like I'm gloating, but I'm definitely glad I went on tour for half term, i.e. I'm somewhere where it's not half term. I've had a very profitable week here.

I will certainly be doing this for future school holidays. I'm planning to have a very low-key week next week (my fanjo needs time to recover TBH!), then off on tour again for February payday.

Great I am thinking, as I am free, so I txt back at 6pm that I am free and all good. 20 min later he txts me back to say that he was in a rush so he has already seen someone else  :o he offered though to go out "friendly" if I have nothing else to do...

I used to get this frequently when I was working a civvy job and only escorting in the evenings.

Although some clients are looking for a particular lady who they really like the look/sound of, and they will find a suitable time to see you, there are others who just have an urge and if they don't hear back from you pretty immediately, they will contact someone else. I think some of them send the same text to several ladies and just see who replies first.

Tour started off well in Stevenage, but it's been a little slow over the last 2 days so I decided to change location - big mistake!
I'm now sat on a very cold train to my next location, which has been stopped in the middle of no where due to 'serve weather conditions', which has now turned out to be a tree falling on the tracks ahead...even when it does start moving it will be very slow due to the wind - so I'll be going no where fast.
I've had to cancel the advance bookings for today, and I don't dare make anymore until I actually arrive - at which time is anyone guess.
To top it off I'm getting calls for Stevenage now, which makes me think I should of just stayed put!

I would agree with that.Last February I remember having a quite a few totally dead days,this February although not heaving I've pretty much managed to do a couple a day and my target is between 1 and  3 anyway as I am not high volume and don't financially need to do loads of bookings each day any more.

Sorry I was a bit dismissive earlier.

My only enquiry all day has been from a cheeky beggar who I've seen three times and have let do a 15 min appointment even though I don't offer those from home any more. He's only asked me if he can have 30 mins at the same rate, or have 10 quid off the quickie rate. FFS.  :FF

(Obviously I told him where to get off!)

Next year I'm definitely going to plan a holiday for February. Or maybe try Dubai. At least I'd get some sun!

The last two weeks for me have been so bloody quiet (never again will I ever work in this Country in February ever) don't worry OP it should pick up soon hopefully, it's such a shame that your working for an agency, why don't you try setting up an AW account and book a cheap day room somewhere?  :)

so far this week an hour yest and half hour tonight and that nearly didnt happen as he pissed me off and sent a booking request through on AW without any prior contact, turned out he had just signed up to AW today and was new, he was a nice guy tbh but jeeze today has been hard work, phone call after phone call off morons calling on a private number with a range of stupid excuses  :FF

It's been slow for a few weeks. I have had calls but did ignore my escort phone the other week and I did schedule around days I couldn't spare this week. I had one good call today and he left happy with super feedback which was good.

I only began on New Year and had one bad client which threw me. A few weeks going flat has been horrible but this took pressure off and gave me time to let off steam so this slow time has been a plus.

Dead today just an occasional returnee who expects a cup of tea after and a chat I have stopped seeing him because of that.

Then a shy guy rang who could not make his mind up.

Other than that diddly squat.

Pay day next Tues and waiting on my new photos coming in the post early next week so that will work wonders meanwhile waiting patiently bound to get somebody in shortly though.

That's a little optimistic.   70 without Dubai.  With Dubai, a lot quicker, though, subject to your genetic markers and  type of complexion e.g. fair.  Purchase a sunscreen and a hat. YMMV  ;D

I am so thankful for regulars. After my awful experience last year I focused on camming and my regulars for the past few months while I recuperated from the shock. I now have a regular for almost every night of the week, every week so that plus camming and I am very happy.

Just about to throw myself back into the fray of accepting bookings with strangers again so that I can say that some nutter didn't scare me out of the business. Giving it to the end of this year and leaving escorting for good so I'm hoping to retain my regulars and gain some new ones over the next 10 months then get out and focus solely on camming. I always said I would quit by the time I am 30 so it's the perfect time.

When I used to tour I made a point of not touring from 23-27 of any month as I found this to be the run up to when most (though not all) got paid and bookings were never that great. I did all my prep for touring at this time.

I always found going away around 28-1 of the month very fruitful money wise.

I usually find that this time of the month is usually dead for me for some reason - I usually start to get busy into the first week. So around now, datewise, but I tend to not work weekends unless pre-arranged. Weekends have never really been a busy time for me.

I'm just taking it as an excuse to take new photos, do things with my blog, things like that. Next week looks okay, especially with enquiries etc.

Post by: ParisB on 04 March 2017, 07:29:40 pm
There is no logic in this work
Im in a area where I am  normally pretty busy  although I know others that have hated it and not done very good

I arrived thurs did 4 3 were regulars

Yesterday ( fri ) I did 3 1 reg but it was very very slow and I was threating to leave and go home  😄 I didn't do my first booking till 2pm on fri and nothing after 6pm But it was good in terms of money as I had 90 mins & a 2 hour

Today in Sat it's been banging busy from 8 am pretty much non stop. This  is in spite of football & rugby on all day
 
But the phone is quiet it's just that all that have booked have turned up and all been 1 hrs apart from 1 30 mins and ive missed at least 2 or 3 bookings as well .

But my friend who is with me complete opposite , her  phone is busy as hell but only done 2 bookings She's had over 80 calls by 7pm
Ive had around 20 calis plus texts

So it's weird as we are both in the same area,  Similar age she is white im mixed race
Similar prices / services both been here before
 
                         Can't work it out 


- Update today on Sunday my friend did 8 1 hr bookings & 1 half hour
As I said we can't work it out

For the first time ever I have had a week with no punters, I'm part time 10am-4pm and can usually see a couple of punters a day no problem, my usual Monday morning 1 hour regular wasn't able to make it last week but I thought no problem as its after pay day and February had been so abysmal surely its due time for my regulars to return and we can get back to normal service..
Although I did have calls they were from listed TW's and bareback requesters etc so I ended up on Friday with a bit fat ?0. I laughed about it to my escort friend (who had held the record last year for having a ?40 week) saying I'm now the one with the worst week ever title.  ;D

I had an absolute shedload of TW yesterday. 8 bookings, 2 cancelled, 2 showed up, 4 no shows (all of which I'd pegged beforehand as being unlikely to turn up, so at least my instincts were right!)

The most breath-taking was the guy who called me at noon and made a booking for 7pm, who I asked to confirm at 5.45. He didn't, which I had expected.

He then called me at 7.05pm, 5 mins past the start of the booking he'd made, and tried to book me again. Wasn't he surprised when I gave him both barrels!

First I answered and he didn't even say anything!

Second he hung up after two rings, rung back and then told me we weren't compatible, but when I asked why he bothered ring he said he wanted to arrange something but then once again told me we weren't compatible.

So far a very successful day!

One of the questions is, "Has any of you offered the reduced or promotional rate during these "slow" times to simulate more interest? " I would be flamed by saying this, but I bet punters would go to a lidle version of escorts when they don't want to spend the normal/standard rates.  What do you think?

People will always choose to spend their money however they feel like...My price is average and I mostly see working class men, although I've also got quite a few very wealthy regular clients who could easily afford to see someone who charges double my fee but they keep coming back for years on end. I look at it like this: Not to do with work but in my private/leisure time have stayed in ?250 a night hotels (admittedly not paid for by me) I've also stayed in ?150 a night rooms, and ?9 a WEEK apartments and had different and varied but equal amounts of enjoyment, fun and pleasure in all of them. I've also bought foundation at ?6.99 and at other times spent ?39 on a bottle the same size and found them to be very similar in the coverage, finish etc  :)

I have done this - once when my neighbours went away for a long weekend :D I advertised it as a special offer on AW and I got a LOT of business that weekend.

I think there is definitely for many punters a kind of personal budget where they won't go over, and for many men it's 100 quid. If I drop to 100 there is a definite uptick compared to my usual price of 120.

I think it is dependent on area though. My home area is saturated with agencies and parlours. So punters have been "trained" to expect a full service for less. When I'm on tour I can stay just as busy at my normal rate.

It's been the worst couple of weeks I've had in a long time.

March is way quieter than Jan and Feb, which I actually found quite good.

I'm sitting on cam right now to earn enough credits to put my AT today on for the next couple of weeks I decided I'd rather do that then pay for them out my own pocket.
I need to up my game and not sit back on my laurels waiting for my regulars to return.
Only a 1 hr regular Monday and a half hour new client yesterday.

I am glad its not just me that is finding it quiet! I don't know what is going on, its been quiet for me for weeks now. I thought February was bad enough but March seems to be worse and even more dead but why? I have always found March to be picking up but I don't get why its so dead for.

Tuesday was decent, 2 hours and a 30 minutes. Wednesday I was off and of course plenty of missed calls. Yesterday made only 75 quid. Today one hour and hopefully some more. I've edited my website, blogged, am using Twitter and updated my profile. But it's not yet what it was one year ago...

Brexit hasn't happened yet, I think its a saturated market. Looked on webcam and compared to when I used to do it 3-4 years ago you would expect to see mid morning 50 cammers would be on now at 10am its 200, in the evenings there would be around 80-100 on (and that was a lot back then) I checked last night and there were over 400 women in the UK camming.
Women doing sex work in this country has sky rocketed, it could be as much as four fold in the last 3-4 years if camming is any indication.
There used to be around 4 escorts working within a mile of my post code now there are 10 and that rises even higher when touring escorts arrive.
Draw your own conclusions.

Brexit has nothing to do with it, although the Govt would like you to think otherwise,it will be interesting to see the retail figures for the first quarter, with inflation up generally,so less disposable income around, I think mature Helen has hit in the head, when I started out when Aw started I worked with a group of girls, we cashed cheques three times a week from cam work, now you are lucky to cover your number display fee, the net is full of freebies, so why pay, also we had say twenty competitors in a ten mile radius, now over 220+ for escorting, Brexit will have a positive impact if anything, but I dont see anything changing in our life-time.

I had a good busy week in London although Tuesday was slightly quieter (which I wasn't bothered about because I was knackered anyway) and was going to take today off but picked up a loose half hour since I had to run down to my flat anyway for some corned beef I forgot to bring home :)

It's the same every year as far as I'm concerned - March is always my crappest month and has been for as long as I can remember in fifteen years of working on and off. This week last year is here: http://www.saafe.info/main/index.php?topic=657.5535 (http://www.saafe.info/main/index.php?topic=657.5535) and the years before that will all be there too and I'd be surprised if there was any difference between those posts and these bar what people are blaming it on.

Do you know what? You are bang on the money, Amy.

This is by far, much worse than Jan or Feb, so much so that I am working from home for most of the rest of the month.

I will be factoring March in next year for: Trip to Thailand  8)
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: amy on 10 March 2017, 06:18:26 pm
Well looking at my spreadsheet this March (and the last bit of February) is shaping up far better than last year all things considered.

BUT, I went to New York this week last year after working a couple of days in London to make my bill money, and then took pretty much the whole of the rest of the month off to do some work on my home and did no more than two or three bookings a week when regulars texted and it was convenient. So my March figure for last year is skewed because I was barely working anyway and had made it my business to get all the stuff in I'd been putting off.

Last week was almost empty. This week every caller including two previous clients called all at the same time. This was a roadcrash over overlapping bookings and missing three good calls which needed resheduling. I also began getting after hours calls (I usually switch off my phone at 8pm but finish at 11pm) and messages after midnight like "Hey u up". I've declined these even when I picked my phone up out of curiosity. I know it's money but I don't feel comfortable or safe accepting them.

Not too bad today a 1 hour and a 15minute (5min) quickie both regulars.

What I have noticed and I don't know if its relevant is I'm getting a lot more tenners and fivers than I used to, 99% of punters used pay in ?20 notes but not anymore I'd say its 50/50 of them paying in smaller denominations.

I've barely worked the last few months due to loads of family shit but back to normal now.
A guy I saw 3ish times over a year ago got in touch earlier looking for an hour later in the week so that's good.

Struggling with signal here too.. maybe we should try and get a WhatsApp group going for touring girls for recommendations on where they have been that's not been slow.

This past few weeks iv been averaging about ?350 a day which is slow for usual but for someone who is getting nothing right now it could be their rent for next week? I would happily recommend places I go and what I earned there but I wouldn't saturate my own regular haunts without some new ones. That way we could have a mix around and get the new buzz for a few weeks xxx

When an ATM is getting low on cash (usually the 20s an 10s go first), you can end up will a big pile of fivers.

Just seen a regular who paid me all in tenners and he commented that every time he has drawn cash out recently it's been all tenners rather than mostly 20s as it used to be. He said "It's a pain as my wallet is basically twice as thick as it needs to be."

I wondered if maybe the Mint are about to introduce plastic tenners to go with the new plastic fivers and are trying to run down the stock of paper tenners.

New plastic tenners are coming this autumn sometime, with the twenties due in 2020. Hopefully that'll give me time to get used to taking them out of my purse in Wilko without dropping them when they slither all over each other :).

The new pound coins arrive on Tuesday, for those who live near the arcades  ;D

I saw a client a couple of months ago who works in a bar and he said the staff go round every night and find dozens of fivers that have slipped out of people's pockets, handbags, etc.

Hmm, if the tenners are due in say September then 6 months timeframe is probably about right to start running down the existing printed stock, get it into circulation and used rather than trashing the already-printed notes once the new ones go live.

Well what a week this has turned out to be! I like to see 3 or 4 a day and usually do but this week has been deathly quiet - the phone just isn't ringing. Had 2 half hour's on Monday, an hour and a half on Tues, 1 hour yesterday and so far today nothing! Just 1 call today which resulted in a booking then 15 mins later he cancelled!

I was on holiday last week and usually find it's busier when I come back after being away but not this time  :(

Going to my other incall location tomorrow (30 mins away) so will see how things are there

I did 2 hours today after a week of nothing. One hour tomorrow but we will see!

One and a half hours Monday, half an hour Tuesday, half an hour Wednesday and half an hour today lets see what tomorrow brings.
Next week I've got my weekly regular 1 hour booked on Monday and a new punter has confirmed AW 1 hour booking on Tuesday.
That's ok for me I always said if I can make a living wage I'm happy.
Its still quiet on the phone though I remember a couple of years ago most of my bookings were in the morning, I could easily have done my 2 punters by midday and put my feet up and often had to turn punters away because I'd seen my quota for the day, my escorting friend and I couldn't have a proper phone conversation with each other because both our working phones would be going off every couple of minutes.
The good old days lol

Until a couple of years ago I did not start my working day until around 12pm but then decided to offer 10am onwards and wow! I get lots of 10.30-11.30am bookings now and if I have had one or two bookings by 1pm it is a nice feeling that I can take the rest of the day off if I feel like it.

I must have missed hundreds of bookings before I did morning ones!

Did 3 hours today, first at 8 AM. Could have done one or two more but because I'm moving I prefer to use my spare time to work on my own homes under the hammer DIY. This week I reached my target and some more. Promising.

Frustrating weekend... Reg has had to cancel tomorrow. Turned down a lovely young man I saw last year who rang for an out-call last night but it was too late; he said he'd come for an in-call today, but no peep.

Then dealt with someone frankly odd yesterday, who booked for this lunchtime. He confirmed dead on the hour before, as requested, but then asked if we could do an hour later. Asked for a specific item of clothing, and then said he couldn't come today and could he come tomorrow instead - all within five minutes! Grrr.

Ffs  have clients forgotten to put their clocks forward? Mothers Day won't be helping either.
I've usually had a couple of enquiries by this time on a Sunday! Nothing.

I'm giving it another hour then I'm  clocking off and going to enjoy the sun  :)

Some thing must be in the air today because I'm busier than usual.  I think they did all their mumzy stuff early. Well it's very sunny and mild out maybe excites them more. With spring business should pick up.

I've taken my number down but I've had three emails today even though it's a Sunday and I've had a couple of txts from people who've saved my number who wanted a booking I very very rarely work weekends so I've turned them down but this is the first time in a couple of months that I've had Sunday bookings enquiry's so I think the punters must have paid of their credit card debts for Christmas .

No, its not just you darling, thats why this thread is so important,its a morale- booster knowing youre not on your own, I havent had a booking off Aw for three weeks now, and if I didnt have ads elsewhere, well be sleeping in the car lol! Someone was blogging on Aw this morning about their shop being dead-ie no credits been spent.
March has been bad this year for lots,I think personally inflation rising (your goods in the shops going up every week) and price rises with the new tax year has eaten into disposable incomes, without being a harbinger of doom Easter is traditionally bad ,especially if good weather as well as school holidays and trips to lego-land etc :-\

I've had 3 cancellations  Monday - Wednesday this week- which I never had like this. 2 were guys I have previously met, and 1 was new. Lately I had a few guys who contact me, they were very good before and lately just messing me around very often. :FF  Very dead for me, as I do Outcalls only and can work limited time  :(

I don't market myself heavily and happy not having lots of clients. My best steady regular visited today. Last week a new client complained about being self employed and his business being very tight as he peeled notes off very slowly one by one like each note was a pint of blood. This month hasn't been the best but I made what I needed and I'm happy with this.  :)

I am having a super- quiet day today - partly because I can't afford to advertise right now, and partly because I suspect it would have been fairly crappy anyway.

To top it off though it seems I have been placed in"Prostitutes Corner" in the rather nice hotel I have just checked in to, and visited a few times before. So rather than sorrowfully and selfishly wallowing in self pity as I would have liked, I am now aware that (1) everyone here knows I'm a hooker and (2) I can hear bouncing,shagging and squeaking from both the adjacent rooms and the one above whilst I have nothing. NOTHING

I would say you're all welcome to come and join the pity party in my pants but sadly there is nowt but tumbleweeds rolling through my pant area at the moment.

Then since 1pm I had each and every local low-life text me. I had it all so far, a cock pic, a "what's your profile?", a bareback request, a "do you do 10 min?" a 12 inch cock...  And it just keeps going on.

One hour booking today and happily that's my lot. I've had a very busy week. I've not made this much money in a week since I started. But I am expecting it to be dead now for at least a week. It always is after a busy period. Swings and roundabouts  :)

I try not to think day to day, as I only see a handful of clients per week, so it wouldn't make much sense. The good news was March was actually OK for me, at least compared with March 2015 and March 2016 (it was the best of the three years by 10-20%). Traditionally, April is one of my best months, so fingers crossed...

March was really crap, quiet, cancellations and a no show I expected to not turn up, and I'm starting April with Cystitis from the one quickie booking I did last week so I'm thoroughly pissed off....no work for me for the next few days! Half term now for two weeks also. Don't think that's gonna improve things much.

A booking for an overnight came in and he sounds genuine. His not requesting much like some others do just lingerie. Sounds like it will be an easy flowing booking.  All is well so far.  But know things can change. Either way today business as normal.

I know a lot of posts mention half term and school holidays when talking of being quiet but I have never really noticed a big dip in bookings at these times. Could be because many of the men I meet are a bit older and child care does not affect them. I do have younger clients too but still maybe I am lucky that those I see are not affected by school break times etc.

I stopped offering advance bookings for this reason. On the day is better but still get no shows some times. Guys in general arn't reliable. The confirmation is more promising. When they book i take it as a maybe booking until they confirm.

Yes, I only ever pencil advance bookings as possibles. I inform clients of this and ask them to phone to confirm on the day. I'm wondering about a few things but will save this for another topic. This is my worst week ever and very inconvenient.  ;D

Checking through my dairy for the last year and it seems i get one week a month that is quiet, normally the same week of the month pay day week. The opposite of what i would expect.

 I don't mind when the quiet weeks fall on my time of the month. Feb was good, march was great, this month so so. but had a good week in the north east last week but this week the phone is quieter. Not even getting many weirdos or timewasters either  ::)

Hello girls,

I'm based I'm Glasgow and normally do great, I don't usually take advanced booking most of my work is on the day bookings but I've noticed a huge decrease in bookings and calls.

Since Easter I've noticed a decline,

Last week was bad but this week has been dire! In 3 days I've had 3 half hrs and 2 90min bookings. I don't understand It, I'm well established have great reviews, average prices and am in a central location? I've noticed a lot of girls have put there prices up in my area lately so maybe it's just me?

Anyone else in Glasgow having the same problem?
I would definitely say there's something not right here at the moment.
Any input would be great. Thanks

Poppy xx

Yes melissa think you are right there.

Quite a few people who voted to leave Europe are now worrying.  From what I glean when I talk to people.

Also food is going up and perhaps people are just worrying about their money more at the moment.

I have started tightening the belt too and not wasting so much cash.  Watching the food bill more carefully and buying only second hand clothes etc.  Though I have been ill a lot recently so my money is pants temporarily.

Perhaps it depends on their line of work how they are viewing the economy etc.

This shows how different we all are with regard to what we need or feel we need to earn to stay afloat/save etc. Your 3 days work would be great for me and if I get that level I am more than happy!

Hello girls,

I'm based I'm Glasgow and normally do great, I don't usually take advanced booking most of my work is on the day bookings but I've noticed a huge decrease in bookings and calls.

Since Easter I've noticed a decline,

Last week was bad but this week has been dire! In 3 days I've had 3 half hrs and 2 90min bookings. I don't understand It, I'm well established have great reviews, average prices and am in a central location? I've noticed a lot of girls have put there prices up in my area lately so maybe it's just me?

Anyone else in Glasgow having the same problem?
I would definitely say there's something not right here at the moment.
Any input would be great. Thanks

Poppy xx

I was based in Glasgow for 8 month. I left at the end of March. I did notice a big change from February. I was happy to move on. xx

That's not good to hear about Glasgow.
I will be back working there full time soon.
I have noticed few girls putting their prices up there

Same. This week I've had two 15 minute bookings. Other than that it's been no show after no show after no show and a lot of pointless silly emails  ::)

I understand  I may sound a bit ungrateful, it's just this is my only sorce of income. I work 3 days as week and usually have no problem seeing 4/5 clients each of those days, so it's a bit of a shock to the system that my income is way below half my usual income.

of course everyone is different, if you earn more you spend more.
I've really had to cut back plus I work from hotels so it's been a nightmare booking hotels and only covering hotel charges and half my bills for the week. I've had to change my profile to advanced bookings only as I can't take the risk anymore. its just poop.

If it's your only source of income, could you work more than three days a week? Or do some out-calls as well?

Yes and no. There's another thread on my huge life change lately and I couldn't face work for a week or 2, the rest has been me having a ball  ;D but now my savings are frowning at me and when I finally get up and go back to work it's not worth going. I covered costs yesterday it's ridiculous. Reading this thread while I was off didn't do me much good cause I easily justified having another week.. and another. Thought it would have picked back up by now but it's shocking. Iv never had a day like yesterday. Back with avengence this morning and I WILL make ?500 today if it kills me! Watch this space xx

This week has totally died for me. 1hr on Sunday, 2 half's yesterday and only 1 half so far today. Phone is really quiet - only previous no shows and timewasters ringing (which I don't answer!). Really worried as I haven't had enough good weeks in order to put some savings away. Thinking of moving to save ?100/?200 rent a month

Okay, I've decided to do an hr special at ?100 that may get them in.

In Glasgow a lot of girls have put their prices up, I was considering it myself but christ! - if I'm not getting bookings at ?120 hr I definitely won't get any for ?130 or ?140. Makes me wonder if there getting any work at all.....

Well hopefully, I will get business from guys that don't want to pay the big prices, and off course, everyone likes a bargain [;)]
or maybe that's wishful thinking on my part - who knows
I shall let you know if it works......

I think Lushblossom mentioned this period being very bad to work due to Astrology - something about Scorpio moving. I think I am starting to believe that. I've had some severe tw's in the past week which is unusual for me.

Astrology/energy etc do effect things. There is a lot of scientific evidence too. An example is the full moon. Nothing weird about it either ... In the case of the full moon it effects the tides (water) so as we mostly consist of water, it effects our moods greatly. Full moons usually take effect 5 days before the moon is full, to 5 days after. (Think it was full moon yesterday)

I've had nothing but strange, weird clients for the past 6 days. I'm hoping the shift has started.

Abysmal week this week, my lovely Monday hour booking who always gets my week off to a good start is away, my neighbour in the block is back from Spain till Wednesday (her and her husband have been in and out up and down the stairs every couple of hours) so I'd have to be doubly discrete anyway, my phone is really quiet not even waking up to those daft midnight calls and texts. I checked to make sure my number was still showing on AW.
BUT this is how it goes I know soon enough my old regs will be phoning for a booking.
Did 15min quickie Monday nothing on Tues, two half hours on Wednesday and today my phone has only rung 3 times they may have been turned into bookings if I'd put my heart into it but when its so dead I just cant be arsed with new punters TBH.

I have had several emails this week from new men who say they want to meet today/tomorrow etc and will phone me but they don't phone. Just as well I have a strict rule that I refuse to have email exchanges unless I have met them before. I guess they try this one with a list of escorts until they hit lucky and get their kicks from someone who will be taken in by their (don't really intend to meet you I just want to enjoy email tennis) intentions.

Am not noticing any difference in my actual bookings but I need only a handful a week to be happy.

If anyone calls or texts to ask info already supplied in my ads I ask them to go back, read and if they are happy to call me back. No matter how quiet I am I do not have the patience to be answering guys who have not made an effort to read about who they are calling.

Local Escorts search is when you go to the top bar and click on "Escorts" then click on "Local Escorts"
It's 1.50 per day and you can pick multiple areas (1.50 each) This never sells out and you can buy up to midnight the day before.

Featured puts you on top through the main member search if they are searching on a specific town or postcode. Featured usually sells out once it gets to about 30 credits per day and the best way to get it cheap is to book a month in advance. Slots are released every day at midnight for the following month.

On my personal Facebook eveyone is going on holiday this month. That's probably why it's so quiet. I think May is the new August.

God I hope not.  I am only being asked for services I don't offer and booking durations I don't do!

Hi, do people feel there's a lull this year so far or has it gone back to normal at all for any month? I'm finding it's "dire", I'm wondering if it's regional or national, I'm thinking of touring to try to drum up more biz

It's hard to say. It has always been said that this is just a venting thread for those, who are experiencing "slow" days.  Other escorts might well be busy and they are probably busy servicing clients rather than posting on Saafe.  :)

It was in drips and drab until 5pm yesterday, then had a flux of bookings so I will be catching up with house work before starting today and once back from going out. Happy though because my phone is quiet still yep even at this time. It works out a good thing for me.

I feel like that when the Marathons are on at set times throughout Summer, thinking nooooo clients can't get to me now due to roads being closed.  It should be over Helen before you know it. Xx

Yes hopefully it will be sorted soon. At least I've not been evacuated like some have. When its like this and highly unlikely I'm going to work I can mentally switch off escorting mode and do other things instead. If someone phoned me I would have to tell them the roads this side of Brum are gridlocked today and it would be better for them to book another day.

Its a 500lb bomb, its huge. they've moved 250 tons of sand around it so I guess they are going to explode it, but thankfully just had a call and although traffic is bad hes going to make his way over so at least I will have done an hour today.

I decided to bite the bullet and do some cam work to amass some credits in the old AW bank enough for a weeks worth of available today, phone was busier and it did bring in a couple of new half hour punters but also calls from those who I wouldn't want to see.
May has been the worst month so far and two bank holidays don't help as my lovely 1 hour a week regular goes and stays with his family on the bank holiday weekends.

I've had plenty of calls.  The job is so random I don't think there is much rhyme or reason to any pattern of busy weeks at times.  Sometimes the heat brings out more men sometimes it brings out fewer.

I even had two prebooked yesterday and I am low volume so doing 2 hours work on the 24th of the month was a real treat for me normally it has ground to a halt in the run up to salary pay day.  I usually just get the half hours around that time.

I only need a few hours a week so not complaining.

Next week I am away a few days but half-term is generally quite crap so I won't be missing out on much.

This week has been rubbish so far, yesterday I was ready for 9am and didn't have a booking until 1pm.  My phone literally did not ring.

I'm guessing it's the last week before payday and guys are wondering if they've got enough cash, as I've had more quickies than normal. I've also had loads of requests for appointments outside of my normal hours (I work 8am to 8pm Mon to Fri) and a few regs thinking of longer bookings but never actually arranging something!

I'm about ?150 behind target at close of play yesterday but it's been such hard work to get even that. This is the worst I've felt since going full time in October so I think it may be a bit of burn out.

I've booked a holiday that doesn't require a deposit so hopefully I'll get enough work in to cover that and my expenses for a week so I can recharge on a sunny beach in Gran Canaria lol

It's Ramadan coming up so the Asian punters will behave for a couple of weeks maybe.... my phones been off the hook but all asian punters. Sadly due to discretion (as I'm Indian) I don't see asian guys. I turn away at least 8 a day. If i didn't I would make a fortune but privacy is far important to me. Hope it picks up soon. Last week was a good week for me but this week is slow but I'm using that to spend quality time with family and friends.

Oh I hadn't heard of that, I have cousins in Sussex and I didn't think their next school holiday was until mid July or whenever it is that they split up for summer.

Phones been ringing today but its been..

Someone new who wanted to come straight over..He wouldn't  even give me 30 mins so told him no.
Someone who sounds like he's a Neanderthal grunting and not able to put a sentence together
Someone who wouldn't accept I wouldn't see him..he's 26 and sounds like a punk.
2 callers who don't drive and want to either get a train and a bus to me...give me strength :FF
3 who I just didn't like the sound of.
Someone who doesn't have a mobile phone.
Phone calls from previous denied punters listed on my phone as..
Timewaster
Twatty x 2
Timewasting bullshitter
26 year old twat
Twatty (again) x3
Several calls from withheld numbers.

Texts from punters who have tried to book before but failed...

Bareback enquiry
Haggler
Along with half a dozen of the usual 'r u available' texts

So many undesirables are out and about today.. I thank God for my phone contact list as I list all the ones I don't like.

I am really surprised that this May has been so quiet tbh, well not the full month but this last week has been worse than just 'slow' if you know what I mean! There's been days of 'non existent' ffs!

Well I have been on tour in Oxford and it's pretty shit today. But it is hot and sunny so i can't blame folks  for going to the local pub instead!  I did take a (10 min)trip to The perch.. An old thatched roof pub with a lovely beer garden. Highly recommended on a nice day for a break from your hotel room!

I think the start of a sunny period after rubbish weather brings them out but once it gets too hot it drops down again! Was busier earlier in the week but today not even a timewaster has called me!

Though I woke up this morning to see 5 missed calls between 2am-5am- Not that I work then, but it seems the cooler night air set them off again!

I have had a one hour booking so far but I want at least another ?80 so a hh would be great!!

I've just done 30 mins, my 3rd x 30 mins booking this week but that's OK. I prefer just a 30 min booking after a 9-5 civvy ( but would love 60 mins money ) I'm in the garden now, finished for tonight, phone off but hoping for a few bookings Sat and Sun. I'm working civvy Monday which is unusual for me on a Bank holiday. Hoping to make ?600 by end of the month and that would be on par with last May. Feeling I will fall short though  :(

Whilst everyone works different hours, and decides on how many clients they see, on a day to day basis it is difficult to tell who is quiet or not.  But as a yearly collective I've found that this year has been the worst for me since I started back in 2011.  I have had several weeks since Dec last year were I've not had one booking all week (April was the worst month so far this year, as I had 2 whole weeks without any work), and sometimes I've gone days without the phone ringing once.
Despite my efforts of maintaining my website, blog and other adverts in other directories, taking on board advice that some of you ladies have given, I still don't seem to be getting any busier.
Apart from going out and literally clubbing guys over the head and bringing them back to my place, I don't see there's else I can do.

I can only put it down to Brexit and the impending election that has made people more cautious over the past 6 months, as there is a lot of uncertainty out there at the moment.  I will ride it out, and hope that things will pick up again in the near future.

This is my worst 5 days so far I blame the media and brexit. When tragedy happens the contry mourns. They now have more police about. What next....

Escorting is going to be like pocket money.

In time with more corruption business will fizzle because when people pannic they wont punt. Thier priorities change.

When I had this problem I used to swear by effervescent cocodamol. Worked wonders.

Getting GB out was one of the best things I ever did and such an easy op to get over if done by keyhole. Are you in waiting list?

Alas I'm still waiting to see the consultant ...
cocodamol, tradamol, oral morphin don't touch it , neither does ibruprofen . I'm using diclofenac (the suppositories version ) which is my salvation . Unfortunately the constant pain , be it acute at time for hours  or just mild does wear me down , feeling sorry for myself blah blah blah  which in turn affect my enthusiasm  to work when I should be working and saving like mad to cover the time off after surgery .
As you have had the surgery could you guess an estimate on how long it will be before I can return to work . I can't really ask that question on the GB forums that I am on  ;D

Ohh that sounds horrible! Is there any way you could get it done privately? Might be worth enquiring about costs if you don't have insurance, because the quicker you get treated, the quicker you can get back to work.

I've only been on the scenes for 4 weeks. First 2 weeks were busy about 7-10 clients a week. I do turn down 4 to 5 bookings a day though, as for discretion I don't see men of the same ethnic origin as me but the cheeky buggers don't give up...ive heard it all.. I'm half Italian half asian, I'm half Moroccan half asian.. I'm black. I'm white my name is Paul... I've heard it all and this is what I have to put up with most of the day.


Last week was pretty quiet for me 3 clients but I have another job so wasn't too bothered. I find having a second source of income always helps. When you get a dry patch in this job you can pickup other work. Of course everyone's circumstances are different but it does help.

Do you have on your profile that you won't see Men with the same ethnic origin as you? This will attract them like flies to you and Men, especially paying ones, always want what they can't have and also that they should be able to have you!

Yes it's says it clearly in black and white buy they still try. I had one yesterday trying to trick me into seeing him. Was texting and said because he was on the train he couldn't call. Wanted postcode and confirm booking but I could tell from the 'slang' and text talk he's asian. Also In his words 'there's no paki girls in Necastle that's why I have to travel to Leeds' he used the word 'paki so loosely which I can't imagine any Caucasian punter using when trying to book an Indian girl. I knew straightaway he was lying and I would know by speaking to him that he was Asian.

I told him I can't give any details till I spoke to him..and guess what no phone call as I predicted. I'm not sure what he was thinking would happen when he arrived as I would have seen him park up and just not opened the door if he had lied.

Naturally I couldn't work during that time and I missed out on so much work and my poor regulars couldn't believe how long I'm taking to recover.
Today is the first day I'm officially back to work and the phone is bloody silent! Not even a single timewaster call....

Thank you love!

Typically when I decided I had had enough of sitting around and waiting, the phone rang...
Some new guy wanted to come after 630, so I said no and went to the gym. Came back to 3 more missed calls and messages. I never work late anyway, but it's comforting to know that the guys are still out there punting- just in the wrong time of day for me.

Keeping my everything crossed for us all tomorrow things will get better! X

I've been back now after a months break for three days technically but had a day of yesterday and only saw one client which was my choice on the first day. I had a man who I've seen three times before email me yesterday saying he wanted to come and see me at around two or three he wasn't sure which time as he had a meeting and would contact me... I turned three  people away not that I see three people a day as I only see two maximum as I wasn't sure what time he was coming and I like to leave a gap of two hours at least in between clients and he never contacted me  ::) which naffed me off.  I'm not going to let him get to me though or let him know I was naffed of if he contacts me again and I wont block him as then he will know I'm going to tell him roleplay is a minimum two hour booking or a ?50 extra or something like that.

How about we all march round in a circle singing "It's Raining Men"  :D

I've only had one today but it paid for my late  checkout so all good. I'm hoping for good things next week.

I think it's the opposite.I've noticed if I pay for local escorts I am bang on the main page of the new style app for my area so before they even log on there I am for West Yorks.So a double edged sword really had a few new clients but alot who are just clicking on the first profile they see and being knobheads.
I also think some of the genuine guys are put off using the app now because it's not very discreet loading it up and there being 20 profiles with pictures of varying taste right there where other people around them can see and will think its a porn site.

Apart from last Friday when I had 3 half hours I've only been having 1 or 2 half hours a day. Can't remember the last time I had an hours booking! It's really not enough for me to live on so I'm going to have to think about supplementing my income somehow. 3 or 4 half hours/hours a day or a mix is fine for me but at the moment they are hard to come by!

Everyone on AW is usually very busy for the first year tbh, in a sauna your initial busy period only lasts for about a month or even less, so a year is very good!

I think its a case of working out what your main market is, ie GFE, PSE, DOM, and then maybe amending your profile to further entice newbies from your particular market, like can you add anymore services or maybe just replace some? Put all new pics up and delete your current ones, or maybe even be unavailable less so that the clients wonder where you are? I know you say that your not staying on top of bills as it is but any chance you could do without a particular thing that you have to pay monthly, ie Sky or Virgin TV, or maybe change gas+electricity supplier? Or get another part time job to supplement your income and of course there's camming but not sure if you already do that?

You could always write yourself lots of cracking reviews?!! Hahahaaa xx

Failing all that then maybe its time for a little break & you could maybe sign on (sorry if your dead against this but just trying to help!) in the meantime and at least your rent will get paid for you, the reason I'm saying take a break is because usually when a WG takes a break, then its like she's new again when she comes back you know, and then there will most likely be a whole new batch of clients to come and see you!

There's also Viva Street & so many more websites that you can use, I'm sure it will happen to me too & when it does then I've already decided to start doing anal for a little bit!!

Well Glasgow has continued to be dire  :FF

Ive honestly never known it so bad.
I decided to try outcalls over all central Scotland areas which have been so much better than I thought, so I'm gonna concentrate on those at the moment.

I think the Incalls haven't worked for me lately because, 1 I've been away 7 months, 2 I only take bookings from adultwork members and 3 I don't take calls at home for advanced bookings therefore rely mostly on the day passing trade. 

I don't wanna give up visiting Glasgow especially my few regs I've managed to hang on too after my break.
I thought doing a 3 day tour once a month might be a good idea with my 1st being next weekend but again I've so far only had 2 bookings. I think I'm gonna have to list my number and maybe see non members to get the bookings I want. I just hate weeding out the time wasters etc..

So bloody annoying at the moment.

No new clients so far this week! Just the odd reg suggesting we could have a hot and sweaty encounter! I am trying to keep bookings to mornings and evenings as I am yet to invest in a good fan! (my poor current one has died a death this weekend). I have suggested to clients wanting PVC that I will need to put it on as they arrive and need to take it off very quickly! I'm only human after all! The heat affects my energy massively and I am not enthused with the idea of a booking over 1 hour right now. I've heard things will cool down by Thursday(fingers crossed)!

I have had the worst of weeks.  I didn't work Wed as the plumber was here forever and I was only offered a half hour and it was past lunchtime and had lost the urge.  Thursday I felt ill and now today - Friday - not a dicky bird nothing apart from an email yesterday afternoon asking do I do hard sports.  You would think they would know I do not from reading my profile!!

Monday I was off too it was too hot to work at least the weather has cooled down a bit.

Not sure if Ramadan affects where I live as I don't see many Asians in my part of the midlands.

I changed my pics last night and the phone has been mental. If you need a photographer who does beautiful pics and doesn't charge a arm and a  leg pm me. I found nicely done pics by a professional always gets the phone ringing

Yesterday I had a lot of enquiries, none really came of anything.

Got a couple of bookings tomorrow, one from a returnee and one from a new client. Assuming it's going to be a slow week with it being a long month x

Today is look like dead... Hopefully LOL

Yesterday was good for me, many enquires and i did just 2! refused 2 as well, because my quota max is 2! 

Tomorrow should be better, i guess .. on the weekend more!
I got one for tomorrow and i am happy with that!

Doing my best to try to improve July...as last year was not good for me!

Yesterday I booked a hotel for 67 pounds, had to also pay a 50 pound deposit. I put my ad up, and had a few calls, and had 2 bookings planned as it was in the evening. NONE of them called to confirm. I was so disappointed and distraught. I spent all the money I had left in my account  travelling to London, buying new lingerie  and booking my hotel so I began to wonder if this job was as really for me. I fell asleep, woke up and no calls! Even worse, I was just fed up to have wasted my time  coming to London.

 Then after midnight a call finally came through, he actually texted me - at first I thought he was a time waster due to the constant texts but I thought to myself 'what have I got I to lose??'

I never thought I would actually have the guts to do this job, but I did it!!! I finally had  my first booking! I was soooo nervous at first but then managed to relax! Then this morning I also had another booking, both men were absolutely  lovely!

I am now thinking that because it is the time of year people take holidays abroad owing to Brexit the cost of them has gone up quite a bit meaning possibly sexwork will be affected as clients may be watching their money more.

It was payday this week and Wednesday was such an utterly quiet day very unusual for the 28th of a month!

Latest was someone texting and ignoring 2 texts from me asking him to call. That's my limit, and instead he sends another text.  Way to go to be called out as a TW and blocked dude.

Its been like this for me for a while though, mind you it doesn't help that I only have access to my incall flat 3 days a week though but there's not a lot I can do about that, and I'm not forking out for a hotel or serviced apartment as I may not make the cash back, I may add anal to my services for a while.

Its only 1pm and I'm about to see a regular but so far today I've had several calls and here is what I've had so far....

1. Several callers who immediately put the phone down when I answer only to text straight away asking for info (I don't text ever)  :FF
2. A man who claimed to be 35 (my minimum age) but he didn't know his year of birth (something I ask them when I suspect they are telling porky pies)  :FF
3. A man who wanted to see me tonight and couldn't understand why I couldn't see him later. (I only work days)  :FF
4. Someone who wants to see me NOW (Not even a Hi or how are you just an 'Are you free NOW?)  :FF
5. Someone who I didn't like the sound of so I put him off by saying I'm not available for a few days so he asks me to text him when I'm available...WTF???.  :FF
6. Couple of calls from men who I cant understand what they are saying.  :FF
6. Several calls from withheld numbers.  :FF

Thank God for my regulars because quality punters coming via the phone are as rare as hens teeth lately.
Regulars been and gone and I'm done for the day.

It hasn't gotten any better! One guy introduced himself with "You got any wet leggings look" another sent a series of texts in succession, where am I based, what do I do, when do I finish etc, and the most recent was a "hi" text.

My phone isn't even ringing let alone have any bookings.

I'm beginning to wonder why I'm so quiet.  I've pretty much taken on board what has been suggested by many of you (apart from camming and touring) on other threads. 
I've even noticed that my website is no longer as high on Google ranking as it used to be, and just can't figure out how to get it higher again.  I don't want to be paying an SEO company, as a lot of them are scams, and a waste of money. Totally frustrated, and the thought of finding a civvy job to suppliment my income fills me with dread. ??? :(

A nice sounding bloke but I'd already decided to stay at home and my work flat is an hour away by train and taxi and some geeky old bloke asking if watersports is available.Don't feel I am missing much today.

We will see! Last year july was really ***, this year i want to improve it in same way!

June overall was pants for me. I saw a self-employed client today and he said the same thing - people aren't spending their money. Perhaps now the election is at least over with things will begin to pick up, but TBH I don't see any big upswing any time soon. A lot of people don't have stable jobs, and wages are falling in real terms.

I am very low volume and don't need many appts. in a week/month so always make my target. Last week I made the weekly target by Tuesday afternoon then it went VERY quiet.  That is so typical. Today I got a text from a man I have seen 3 times and it was "you available" not even a question mark  ::)  I replied asking him to phone so we could agree a time, I do not do text after txt as they should tell me what time they want etc and I can say yes or no.

No phone call or reply so I texted that I now class him as timewasting and won't see him again. Still no reply so I know he was playing games. Can not be bothered with people like this, I am not desperate for work thank god or I would hate the job if I had to put up with this kind of thing.

Then out of the blue a new older guy booked me and he was so nice.

After a busy first part of the week tour I cancelled the 2nd leg as I could tell it was TW central.

I had been really busy the first two days and acceptably busy the 3rd but oh my God, the freaks were out in full force yesterday!

I even drove to my 2nd leg tour destination but so many reg flags: clients couldn't park ( I had checked and whilst free, it just wasn't suitable), overly friendly reception and twat emails on AW and by text which I rarely get now, asking for services I don't offer.

I looked at my earnings and thought, ' fuck it, I'm done.' I knew I'd be wasting my time and my instincts are bang on.

Que refund and home with a glass of wine until next week.

The weather certainly isn't helping! Too bloody hot!!

It's picked up slightly but not that much.  At least I have a client from 5 days ago asking for a repeat booking, so that's good.

Doing my first Heathrow tour - arrived yesterday afternoon and my phone never stopped but the calls I picked up where time wasters of the highest order :FF Ended up sleeping through the day and night from exhaustion.

Today it's absolutely dead! Only did one half hour and all enquiries are filled with 'babe' and little boys messing around. Definitely will not be back to Heathrow, this location and Borough market are my two worst ever tours. Planning to work through the night as I heard it can be busy here with flights coming at all hours, hoping for 2 more clients before I check out tomorrow but something tells me I'll be lucky to see 1 :-\

That's weird , my friend and I were there last weekend and it was very very  busy I didn't get a single no show/ Timewaster in the 3 days I was there
My friend had 1 or two but we were both very very busy  and both of us were finished by 9 -10pm each night
I think Heathrow is a place you do really well or not
My friend when she first started to visit used to get loads of TW/ NS but  she stuck with it as the hotels are pretty cheap and now she is always busy when she goes

Ugh today has been awful! I don't think I'll bother working on Saturdays. I definitely sense that a different kind of client calls around this time of the week. So many timewasters! I prefer businessmen. I have only had 1 incall today - our second meeting, never again! I don't like to timewatch but this guy took the piss, paid for 30 mins and was trying to extend it as much as possible. I am officially done with Saturday's.

According to men's p.o.v hot weather makes them horny as girls show more flesh so it can't be that & also what's an hour or less in a booking out of the hot weather?! There's not many things that will stop a man getting a shag and the weather def ain't one of them!! In Edinburgh the trade holidays are on atm and have been since last week but that doesn't explain why I've been so quiet in the months before this...

The guys here get horny too in the sun. Some men I think are getting bored not all. Anal used to be big and notice a drop in that too.   It is easy to escort equals quiet times for some. It is only a matter of time before throwing in any towl.

Do you tour or just work from the same place? I find that men will eventually get bored with us if we spend so long in the same place. By long I mean months and years on end. x

I just did a few weeks in Brighton which aside from one week was dead; now not so far away even without showing my number I'm popular. Weird eh.

But sod's laws the place I'm in is really NOT suitable. Someone upstairs who seems to be in ALL the time, and the property is awkwardly placed and prime for clients to get lost 😾

I can't understand it...I paid for the Local Escorts Search in five areas....though I skimped on the AT as i thought the local escorts searches would be sufficient on their own today.

I had one no show and two cancellations.

Friday evening in Paddington was also dead for me too! Only a few calls from tw's so I went on a vanilla date in Marylebone with a decent looking older man. I think I can possibly make him my sugar daddy...

Heathrow on Saturday was great! I'm actually annoyed that I wasted ?189 on a hotel in Paddington Friday night when I could have been in Heathrow. I changed my AW profile pic and my page received the highest number of hits it has ever reached since I started, additionally many decent calls and I made the most money I have ever made in a day since starting!

I don't usually work on Sundays but I arrived at my tour destination today quite early so got into work mode.

Well I had a load of crap calls,  more than normal. Booked 3 clients in. No 2 cancelled. I threw the first one out and waiting for the 3rd.

Quality of calls is non existent. So is my patience.

Note to self. Stay calm.

It's normally very busy where I am but this week it's been slow but steady and the guys that are calling are booking. Although I normally do the weekends not weekdays generally 

One thing I did notice and find interesting is that my client base is normally 60 percent white british the other 40 percent Asian , black. It's pretty much like this for me in most places .

But this tour apart from a reg it's all been white british guys

My friend is pretty much the same as well in terms of client base but it's been the same for Jer

What I also noticed is that there are several profiles in this area with the girls offering BB sex /Anal BB Sex so maybe all the usual idiots that call me are calling these profiles

I'm not even getting the usual guys that I have blocked as TW NS either calling it's like  they are all on holiday or something

I must be getting all your idiots.  ??? ::) :FF

I've had 100% idiots the past 3 days not a single booking. I've really had it and cannot wait to leave.

You will enjoy the fact that you can chill more and see escorting for how it is.

My dilema was hidding under cover watching heavy rain mixed in with gales while thundering. Pannicking about getting soaked in my summer dress with flip flops lol. Made it back a little wet but can shower drying off.

I've been busy with a dissertation last few weeks so hadn't put local search advertising up and noticed it was extremly quite (still have a habit of checking messeges daily ). However 2 seperate overnights came in for next week so hopefully it will be a good week. X

My busy days seem to have changed lately I was always busiest on a Tuesday and Thursday but for some reason lately it seems to be Monday and Wednesday that are busiest. Today I have had one text and one message on aw asking for services I do not provide so I think it is going to be extremely quiet
This week has been quieter than the last couple but it is the week before payday which always affects business so hopefully it will pick up next week

I was in the East Midlands and did well the three days I was there.

The phone wasn't busy, but the bookings were steady.

I did have a couple of last minute cancellations but managed to replace them. More timewasters than I would like in this area though!

I've done two and a half shifts at my brothel this week and had exactly zero clients. :( I'm usually an average earner, but I've been a bit sick and I think the guys can tell. It's rough watching everyone else get bookings while I get nothing, though!

Don't know what brought it on but today was my busiest in a long time. I even had to turn one down as could not do the time he wanted, I was already booked.  No real reason I know, just the way it goes. After my last one I was glad there were no more, one thing for sure I would not want this busy a day every day, no matter how much money. 

Pacing myself has always been the way and I think that is why I have not experienced burn out.

This is what I have experienced this week as well. I have seen 7 clients and turned down a few too. I wouldn't want to see any more than 2 a day on a regular basis, although at times I have seen 3. But that is not the norm. I plan to do this job for a while and pacing yourself is essential at least for me. I would have more than just burnout if I saw loads - I would have a nervous breakdown!  :P

It is slow here in Bristol because it is school hols - all the single parent men are doing their share of child care and the married ones (which is most of my clients) are playing happy families with wifey - but no sex (amazing how many married men get zero or once a month shags at home). Come September there will be a lot of freed up men looking to unload their pent up sex drive - just wait. I have had my best weeks in first week in Sept and first week in Jan (sexless christmas hols has them dying for a shag!). Many of my clients are self employed - being out in their van "working" is their only chance of freedom.

It has been a good week so far though today is quiet narda. But cant be bothered so will do a job search soon for 30 minutes. Then have got therapy. He thinks I am doing well considering.

Thinking about turning my phone off to focus on going out for a meal later with the bf.

Slow Monday, better Tuesday, dead Wednesday and Thursday but better today.

When I have looked at my breakdown of earnings I was quiet this time last year but I think it is due to the extra money that people have to pay for childcare during such long summer holidays which reduces the amount of disposable income they have. I was mega busy September all those men who have not been able to see anyone during the school holidays really made up for lost time
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?

Not everybody has children but over summer it is generally a bit quieter.  Esp. first two weeks of school holidays I notice the difference then once 2nd week of August kicks in things begin to improve.

We hope!

Thinking to take weekend off!
was not so bad this past week..even i didn t reach my usual target! (i am not happy about it)
i did my best...upload new pics, updating profile, decrease a bit 30min booking...

i guess and i hope that it is just a bad week....August, holidays for many, school holidays...blabla

so it is a good time to take off a weekend..without switch on my phone and try (so hard sometimes) do not check my email box...just soooo addict! i know that a break is very healthy and productive as well... i will be more energized next week and i will look forward to work again if i take a break!

it is worst and more tiring waiting for booking, if it is not the good time....

i will see if i am creative enough to do something else, interesting out of this job!
sometimes i really do not know what i should do...documentary, a walk to the park...going to the gym (i m going to overtrain LOL), reading a book....

i got a long booking for tomorrow only....

 :o WOW this week!  >:( :o :FF :'(

for sure at least i rest a bit! i did work on my ads but apparently is not enough!
july was sooo good!  :FF

Post by: Justine on 08 August 2017, 11:06:48 am
Many possible reasons but nothing is certain why some days/weeks are very quiet and others are on overload.  I can have two days of nothing which makes me think no one will ever want me again and then they all want the third day and I turn some down because of the times they want, am already booked and they can't jiggle their diary to come along later.

  My best weeks are when I get a mid morning booking and then maybe one around noon or 1pm Mon to Fri.  The rest of the days are mine and I do usually take them off and go out and about, more so in this summer weather which is probably not going to last much longer. Sitting around for hours waiting for a firm booking is not for me although I have worked like that before. I am lucky now because I have a low target to meet as my overheads are tiny compared to just 5 years ago.

so `which makes me think no one will ever want me again` ... i have similar feeling...
strange when it is very busy then very low...

i will rest today, then tomorrow 3 hrs booking is going to be hot! first time i do nuru!
will be fun!
maybe i will add it in my regular service.. actually i think tantra and nuru!

Its quiet, I've updated my profile put an offer on but its still slow, I did nothing yesterday as my lovely Monday regular is away till the end of the month, last week was okay but just short of my target, this week so far its dead with only idiots calling.
Punters are a strange breed I don't know if its the weather, their wage payment date, the moon, their holidays or their hormones but its annoying that they all disappear at the same time only to flock back en masse wanting to book the same time on the same day.  ;D

I'm in the SE I know school hols have started but....

I'm also unable to rely on regulars on the whole this summer as I'm touring due to circs.

I put an offer up making it clear it was GFE only so of course someone calls wanting to 'check it didn't  include kink'. Of course that's why I put GFE only

I had just moved my profile to my tour area I was very surprised  at this
Only two regs called to book not even the usual stupid tw suspects were calling

Then I check my AW profile and my number wasn't showing but I have no idea why it wasn't showing as I have plenty of credit cabs it's set permanently to show my number and it the money had been taken

As soon as I changed it to show the phone started ringing straight away

you are not alone! it is more quite than July! few booking in a week! i think that better to take a break! holidays! i guess many are away and they come back in the end of the month...or after 21 August!

there are tourist and some business men! so they will not become regulars.

Off topic I know but my daughter has popped round after work so we went to the chippy now on a usual Friday at 5.30 the queue would always be around 10 people in front of me but when I got there it was empty  ???
I just walked in and got served straight away 
I've never known my area, the shops, the road and now the chippy so quiet.
My only punter today was a regular who came home from his hols yesterday.

I think a lot of people are away, and a lot of guys with families who are taking parental leave or working from home to cope with school holidays, so not got the usual flexibility to pop out for a quick one.

I have been busier today than the last couple - in fact I've seen more clients today (and 2 more booked) than for the previous two days combined.

Was in east London yesterday - only one client and loads of time wasters plus a twat who was wanking on the phone to me.
Today, West London and I'm pleased with the number of clients.

I have had one 15 minute booking this week.That's it. Two people I have seen before were meant to be coming yesterday but both cancelled. This is why I have chickened out of touring. I have never done it. I am too scared that I will just make a loss. At the moment, I work from home so have no overheads to pay and need little income anyway as I don't have rent or mortgage to pay. Plus, I don't have a car either.

Had a great tour so can't complain but today has been wanker central. I had a nice AW booking this morning and then nothing but idiots on the phone who hadn't read my profile so I took my availability off and switched off my phone,  slept all afternoon and remembered why I don't usually tour on Sundays  8)

Last day tomorrow and then home!

Dead today. Had 2 bookings but thats with waiting from 3pm till 10pm, so many time wasters and planning then not replying.
I got an outcall at 11 for an hour but by then I was already grumpy and went home from the working apartment.
Then got in bed and wanted to kick myself for turning the job down and not staying at the working apartment longer,
do any of you struggle with this??
Deciding to go home then arguing with yourself almost that you didn't stay on! So annoying!

Something happened this week and it also happened a few weeks ago and no rhyme or reason for it.

Dead for 3 days (the odd half hour here and there) and then I make my weekly target in one day (yesterday) so today I will relax and anything I may get will be the bonus.

I have come to accept this is the way for me these days and because I am under no pressure to make a huge pile every week/month I am as happy as a punter in a pile of thongs.

I'll see your 3 and raise you to 6 NO SHOWS today in Heathrow.

I should probably clarify that only one of my no shows actually got to the point I was expecting them to arrive - the other 5 failed to confirm. I just save them in Truecaller as "no show John" to warn other ladies :D

Still - that's a fair amount not confirming/turning up! Sounds horrendous. I certainly have no intentions of touring Heathrow, going by what I've heard!

How long before booking do you ask them to confirm? For those I store them as "didn't confirm" so if they book again I do let them but proceed with caution and also get them to confirm more than normally necessary, e.g an hour before as well as when they are setting off (obvs depending on how far they are coming). I would also prioritise other bookings before them.

I thought that perhaps I was being too picky re Heathrow but after your experience I won't be going for a 3rd attempt.

If the time they requested is more than 2 hours away, I ask them to confirm an hour before. If it's less than that, 1 hour before.

If it's within the hour I say "I'm going to send you a text with the postcode, please text me back and let me know what time you can get here." Then I send them the postcode of somewhere nearby.

I've probably doubled down by touring a well-known TW destination during school hols.

What's really annoying is that I moved my AW profile to Heathrow 2 days before I arrived to try to weed out the wankers, and set up auto response on my phone to say "please call back on Friday". TBF that auto response went out nearly 100 times and at least I haven't had 100 no shows :D

Oh no VC thats appaling. when i did Heathrow it was a mix..i find for me most Time wasters come from viva st when I was at Heathrow. Had alot of BB requests there too, mostly from Arabs. I stopped advertising there. I got another 3 booked in so far and 2 to confirm so lets see how the day pans out. X

I always find that if it goes a bit quiet change your pics. It always gets the phone ringing. Even if you can't hire anyone get a friend to take nice mobile shots and u can put filters on them to make them more vibrant or however you choose. X

I'm the same as I don't notice any difference at holiday times usually.  Summer is no different for me.

I find a difference the last week in January and likewise, February. This year for some reason, April was my quietest month.

I find bank holidays a wash out for me personally. I'm going on tour on bank holiday next week but only to be ready to start on the Tuesday morning.

Do you tour or are you based in one location?
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Justine on 22 August 2017, 10:44:23 am
I don't find any difference at any time of the year. Older clients are unlikely to be needed for childcare during school holidays as it is usually left to the grandmother rather than grandpa so he can escape for a little punt if he wishes. Younger clients will find time for a booking if they really want one.

Same at Christmas for me, I haven't noticed any real difference in bookings.
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: mySecret on 22 August 2017, 12:02:00 pm
in my experience, yes change depend about season!
pre christmas very busy and after slowly but ok
January busy
July very busy and August slowly but ok
Bank Holiday are ok, but slowly

to me depend client`s age, lifestyle as well
at least my clients if married...they stay in family in holidays time. (in general)

Only had 1 appt, the rest were tw's. I had a date later on and had two glasses of spritz apertif and back on the train home I thought to myself where the hell did I put my money! After my appointment, I left it in a safe place in my hotel, but didnt take it back out! I panicked and rung the hotel! I nearly cried on my train, I thought today had been a waste! Luckily the housekeeping staff are very friendly and no one took it because they said they found it and I will be able to collect it any time.

It's been a bloody strange week. I made a touring mistake yesterday but moved and managed to recoup my losses. I'm supposed to be here tomorrow but if it looks shit, I'll head home around 1pm.

How I managed to see 3 clients today I'll never know. So many dickheads crawled out from under their rock to bombard my phone (I had to put 1 in the warning section) that I was nearly at my wits end!

I go on tour on bank holiday Monday but don't expect to work until Tuesday. I wish the kids would hurry up and go back to school!

I'm never, ever working the Friday of a bank holiday weekend again, plus the traffic was fucking horrendous and it took me 3 hours to get home  :FF


This is the way it is. Yesterday, Friday, was my busiest day of the week. Slow up until then and along they come one after the other so naturally I had to say no to a couple of them, all wanting similar time slots.

I am finding Saturdays now either very quiet or dead but others will probably be working their arses off.  ;D

Friday night time was shit.
Saturday night time lead up to Sunday morning was manic everyone wanting now even couples were coming out the wood works for bookings. Phone blew off like mad. Saw two men both 1 hour bookings then final booking one couple who kept on extending who partied the night away. Happy with the  financial result. x

First August bank holiday I have known for at least 3 years where I got bookings. Usually it is dead but today was good.

Bank holidays are just like any other day to me unless exceptional weather or circumstances so I am usually available as normal.

Just rembered after booking its a bank holiday!

sometimes even they want to bring a bottle to drink all in 30mins!

Too much negativity... stay positive girls there's good days and bad days in every industry. Its all trial and error and theres people who are far worse off than most of us. Just have to make the most of the good days and plan your finances so that your not struggling in the quiet periods.

But that's what this thread is for, so people can express how they are feeling if things are slow.

Everyone is different. Personally I'm not a fan of the words positive and negative as the world is just not black and white like that. I'm more of a realist. So I plan, enjoy time off, but I certainly appreciate that I can vent here if I have a bad day, and indeed come on and describe a great booking too.

Post by: Charlotte84 on 08 September 2017, 01:05:39 pm
I've been in this business on-and-off since 2009 and I can honestly say, I've never known business to be this slow. I'm in North Manchester and I'm currently lucky to get one client a week, if that. This has been going on for a while now. It's so bad, that I'm starting a full-time job soon because not knowing if I can pay the bills or eat is too stressful.

The reality for me is that Manchester has always been a bit on-and-off and I've worked in the City Centre and South Manchester too. I've generally relied on touring to help with the quiet times, but this is something else all together. I have excellent reviews and I can't find anything negative about me on any forums either.

I rely on AW for work now however, I've had my own website in the past (which was successful), but I decided to ditch it due to the amount of crazy men who would get in touch and I stopped feeling comfortable meeting people without any feedback after a few bad experiences.

I can't help thinking that there a now far too many of us in this industry (even Clients say this to me) and as I don't charge super-low rates, I just can't compete. I also think AW doesn't advertise enough or put any effort into ranking higher in Google.

Clients complain that girls who are cheap offer a bad service, but they still continue to visit these ladies (and then moan about them on those hideous forums). Clients seem to expect the world for next to nothing prices and it's really depressing. I'm also not having a go at any other lovely ladies out there. We all do what we do and it's a very difficult job, regardless of whatever our rates are.

I'm not being negative, I just wanted to say how I feel and what my thoughts are, as I really don't have anyone else who I can talk to about this. None of my friends or family know what I do for a living. I've been living a lie for a very long time now!

It's healthier, to be honest, be able to say how you feel, call nasty punters as it is.  There's nothing worse than hiring a hotel and having a dead day.

Something I have noticed from the beginning of this year is clients tend to keep saying they are snided out with work and the clients that come say they are so tired, it seems like additional work for them may mean less work for us, I would guess this may be the reason so many service providers are noticing a decline in work.

Hi Brunette, do you upload your profile? some pics or new content! can happen to everybody to get just 1 booking all week...i know it is stressful! maybe decrease your fees? a bit? even ?10 can make a difference for clients! i do not know Manchester as how going this business...

Your not the only one doing dire in Manchester. Never known it like this myself either it's getting ridiculous now! A few slow weeks I can cope with but when day in day out is dead it gets way too draining for me. I'm going to jump back on tour

My phone has been off the hook today and that's because I advertised on the Twat  central ad pages i.e viva street and backpage. Thank God for auto responder  (Thanks VC) left my phone on Auto responder all day as I know for every 30 calls of TW's there will be s few genuine bookings. Have a few good ones booked in this week. Thankfully I didn't have to answer all the calls.

Because of personal life today was a dedicated work day, put myself as available and I'm in the local escort search in aw and o got a few more feedback over the weekend all nice and positive thinking i would have a few calls and I've not had ONE! it has been totally dead! Sometimes you just got to ride it out and not worry too much about it I guess  ::)

Just doing stuff I've been putting off and doing some early Christmas shopping so when it hopefully picks up over the holidays I can use that money for next years summer holiday!

I had a fab day yesterday in Cambridgeshire but now in Hertfordshire and it's a dead duck in the water today.

I've had a half hour. I've had 2 TWs on the phone who didn't stand a chance so am just tweaking my tours.

Just a dead day I think.

Really bad today - just 1 telephone call which was someone I've seen several times before who came to see me for half hr.

Yesterday 5 appts including an hour and an hour & a half! One day up, one day down that's how it seems to be these days!

No they do not need to be babysat but the parents have to equip a kitchen (pans, cutlery, crockery) build up a supply of essentials for them (towels, tea towels, separate bedding including duvets and mattress toppers) buy the books they need for starting, pay the initial rent and bond on the accommodation, pay the first months travel, give them money until student finance sort themselves out and get them to the university of their choice. I do not think I had much change out of ?4,000 for setting each of my kids up when they first went to uni. It certainly is not cheap and most people do not realise quite how much it costs to get their teenager to uni and into their accommodation

I had two busy weeks at the start of the month (and I think it helped that I'd been away for five days over the bank holiday) but it's very quiet here this week and causing me to be a lazy bastard who is still at home in her pyjamas at nearly midday :D

I have had a couple of bizarre texts and a haggly email from a punter I saw a couple of times years ago and who now thinks because of this I should pay for his train ticket so he can come and see me again *yawns, stretches*

Having the worst luck today it seems!  :FF
Soon as I went running errands and walking the new puppy - I missed two possible jobs.
Saw a regular for half hour.
Got asked to do a 2 hour but I refuse 2 hour bookings with new clients as it can feel like 10 hours sometimes, he said it wouldn't be worth his while unless 2 hour so that too.

Then I start eating and a person I seen before wants right now, which I couldn't do!

Very bad luck today but reading this thread it has been pretty bad luck for us all lately,
working tomorrow from early and hope its better for us all! xx

Oh no 2hrs are the best.... same client almost twice the pay. Some guys just need a bit more time to relax and enjoy the experience. I prefer 2hrs but then again I can talk for England.

Been quiet for me this month, though did have a few days off catching up with family.

Had hoped to get a few more appointments putting a little more time into this business, but despite advertising in more places it hasn't really taken off, more adverts seem to result in an exponential increase in TWs and vague enquiries!. Have a fall back job freelance in my previous profession but hoping things pick up!

I was at the point of having to put money into my account to be able to display my number and pay for local escort but this week the sales have been really good but I have had a few days off and my number was not showing so not sure if it is connected to that

I rarely work Sundays as they are normally so quiet but I have two one hour bookings today so I am more than happy. I do find it frustrating how unpredictable it is at the moment

I have found it much quieter since about May - not sure why. Since August, I have added a few specialities to my likes that I would have either not done or charged extra for (A, OWO, WS) - as included in my basic fee. It has resulted in more enquiries - but a lot of these are email wankers who never book - I'd say it has got me a couple of extra bookings a week - WS being the most effective extra service and to be honest it is the easiest... I even had one guy who did not want sex of any kind and has been back 3 times - he just wants to watch me piss in the loo - easy peesy.

I would put it down to Brexit and the cost of living.  Plus holidays abroad are so much more money I guess not everybody has spare change to see us as often at the moment.

In five years of escorting never had such a terribly slow September.  Really awful and all my ratings field reports blogs and pics bang up to date.  So no reason for it my end at least.

Brexit hasn't happened yet, my shares are up, the ? is steady, interest rates are low, employment is at its highest for decades.
Heres a thought maybe its because there are now too many prostitutes and not enough punters to go around to give us all a good income?
Maybe the UK has finally reached its prostitute saturation point?
Lots of escorts are feeling it, its not unusual to see rates of ?60 an hour, prostitutes are now 10 a penny on the internet.
Search AW for within 1 mile of my post code and it varies between 11 steady established (lowest) and 20+ it rises when groups of EE touring escorts all come into the local area 8-10 at a time in one troupe and this all goes up overnight.
15 years ago there would have been 2 or 3 so we had lots of punters to go around, our services were in demand we were in truly in charge now its become a buyers market.
Also tv programmes on escorting and webcamming shows being a prostitute is an easy way to make money loads of dosh and live the high life going to private parties on yachts with Richard Geresque punters, all very 'pretty woman' and 'belle du jeure' NOT!
Lets also not forget internet porn that's got every fetish and kink known to man so punters can now feast on it without paying a penny to an escort to satisfy his urges.
Due to the internet sex is available, local and can be very cheap, punters have never had it so good.

Very well said! I agree!
The fact lots of TV and internet ect 'glamorising' escort/web cam work and how 'well it pays'
The rise in more escorts and rise in girls offering every service at a very low rate
Also I do wonder, things are getting ridiculously expensive in the UK if lots more business men are immigrating off to other places nowadays possibly?

Couldn't agree more.

I also think too many media outlets make the job look easy. They don't pick up on the mental side of the job for my liking. Just dress it up to suit themselves. 😢

When I started whoring eleven years ago we could survive on just whoring but now we've also got to incorporate webcamming, phone chatting, stripping or porn filming to make up our wages. To me, this along with the lowering of the hourly rate proves the saturation is becoming worse.

Personally I think there are far too many people doing it and girls that specifically come to the UK to work and then go home haven't helped matters, I don't necessarily think there's more UK girls doing it, just too many non UK girls, surely when Brexit kicks in then that will all have to stop?  Saunas won't be able to let them work there I don't think.

I'm sure there will be more pressing matters than trying to work out and prove whos come here to work as a hooker  who's come here on holiday

More pressing matters? Yeah its easy for escorts to think like that but not everyone will and I def think that saunas will get into trouble if they give them a job.

I don't know where you live but up in Edinburgh most of the girls in saunas are EE & far outweigh the Scottish girls so I can see some saunas having to shut when Brexit is in place.

I've never worked for a sauna or agency. Do they actually employ their workers? Do they give you a wage slip, take your PAYE and NI etc? If so they will definitely have to abide by rules on the right to work. If they pay in cash no questions asked then I suspect they will carry on not giving a fuck.

Also a rise in pimps... so then poaching more ladies possibly?
In all fairness, I think lots of people coming to the UK isn't just putting pressure on escorts but loads of other sectors of work also.
I do think there are lots of other factors too due to decrease in work other than just more people in the UK.
It is just how the current situation is, nothing we can do to change a slow earning week, have to just go with it and work around it best way possible like all of the other people in other areas of work in a similar situation.

Depends where you work in Manchester and surrounding areas  the police ,tax  .social security go in the parlours and have done for ever YOU HAVE TO HAVE COPIES OF PASSPORTS for non BRITISH STAFF and give them to the police to show they have the right to work  they are getting more strict on it .

The girls who work (us) are self employed and responsible for own tax ..................some of the receptionists/ managers are employed by the Saunas and have wage slips PAYE AND NI

They all abide by certain rules as in no smoking in the building have to have fire certificates/extinguishers  etc ect as they do get checked up on.

I think it would be a good thing if saunas were made to tightened everything up so any girl found on the premises must have given them paperwork to show she is legal to work. Maybe a national security number, UK bank details and a copy of her passport.
Shut down the fly by night illegal saunas who don't abide by health and safety also residential premises obviously being used by multitudes of escorts and their pimps.

I don't normally put my number up as I have a day job and very limited availability. But last weekend had some free time so put on AT and phone number showing...I was inundated with calls could have easily done double the bookings I accepted so a very successful weekend for me.

I will definitely be doing that in future.

I have never been AT and manage well with the number of bookings I want but understand those who need or require high volume bookings it can be beneficial. 

I only need one more hour and my weekly target will be reached.  Not yet half way through the week yet though so looks like I may do well.

Yes Helen, but that applies to ALL industries. There's a lot of explotation and trafficking (illegal workers being brought to the UK with false promises) in the agricultural industry, nails salons, construction, factories and domestic workers. They work in deplorarable conditions, get payed shyte money and treated like cattle. and they can't go to the police an complaint because they're illegal here and too scared. For some reason the media only talks about explotation in the sex industry because sex sells a lot and the agriculture industry doesn't.

Yes Helen, but that applies to ALL industries. There's a lot of explotation and trafficking (illegal workers being brought to the UK with false promises) in the agricultural industry, nails salons, construction, factories and domestic workers. They work in deplorarable conditions, get payed shyte money and treated like cattle. and they can't go to the police an complaint because they're illegal here and too scared.

Oh I agree, Its happening all over I just wanted to keep my post sex work related.

It's sex work related, but it's not really on topic for this thread. Since I don't want to encourage any more of the truly nauseating xenophobic ranting posted further up which I've only just seen, lets get back to how the phone isn't ringing because there's a Y in the day and so on, please :).

I was wondering what you guys consider a slow day - absolutely zero contact (calls/texts/AW messages/bookings etc) or a day with interest and contact but nothing that you consider hopeful?

I'm still to wimpy (i'll get there!) to answer phone calls (and my profile states I don't, so any calls I assume aren't reading the rest of my profile, which isn't good) so I can get a few calls a morning but because I don't pick up, I consider that no interest, despite people trying to contact me...

Would you consider a day of wall to wall timewasters/no shows a slow day? I'm not sure how I'd see that.

to me slow..is 0 booking completed! ahah TW are always there!  ;D i do not consider them and even request for advanced booking.
i want just to cry! LOL (i do not know if it is hormonal LOL ahahahah) but it is 3 days totally dead with AT on AW, upload new pics, update often my profile...today i renew my VIVA because i can not stay like this! honestly i do not know what i should do if i do not work...even shopping no interest, only gym but i can not workout everyday...

same, i get only booking from new by email, i always receive calls. some can be interesting...but monstly are TW.

i am sad when it is like this! ...when i earn money i am always `happy`! (so material girl :) )....

If you actually want more bookings, I think you need to take phone calls. A lot of clients phone round fairly last-minute when they find themselves with an opportunity or the horn.

I only see 3-4 clients a week, so it's difficult to say, but I usually get a few messages in different forms each day, perhaps about a third from TWs. I get about one no show every six months, if that.

Might be wise to go a first come first serve basis for the day, explain to them when they call if your free when they arrive you will see them, its typical this shit happens when you book hotel

Been interesting I arrived yesterday afternoon and have had zero from AW ( although I have a booking from AW in a bit and a few possible states  for later  )

But I have got all my work from Viva St & BP
If I hadn't of used it I would have been on 0 I only paid ?15 Both including reposting but it's def been worth it if you have the the time & energy to weed out all the idiots

If I'm touring then a slow day would be 2 /3 bookings

If I'm at home then I don't mind 1 -3 bookings

0 bookings would be pulling my hair out time and wondering WTF is happening
  Yesterday in Leeds I had zero bookings from AW which is to be honest a first time ever for me
But I got several bookings from BAck page & Viva St

 I like the phone to be busy as it keeps me occupied but even when the phone is really quite ( mainly when at home as I don't do as much advertising or AT

 I can still get 1-2 bookings a day generally which is all I want when I'm working at home although I I can do more I will

If you want more work though I do think you would need to put your number up
I I didn't have my number up I would starve lol and if I only relied on AW I would be dead

I toured Essex last week and even though it wasn't a disaster I've done better but crucially over half my bookings were from Viva. I know it doesn't work in all areas but it was definitely worth spending ?12 on!

This week I've been at home and ticking over on a couple of bookings a day, luckily they have mainly been hours or longer so not bad. I'm off for a few days now but hoping it will pick up next week.

But VS & BP despite the idiots that seem to come from it generally there are some really  lovely clients
I normally just use them as back up in case it's quiet so it's def been worth it this time

First night in Heathrow, dead. One enquiry that didn't call back, one booking that was too stupid to find the hotel so I cancelled him, one asking for 15 minutes which I don't do, and one obvious timewaster.

Paid up until Thursday and only need 1hr to cover hotel costs + half an hour to cover advertising, so trying to stay calm. Sat in bed watching Dinner Dates atm (don't have a TV at home so it's actually kind of fun). I've heard it picks up late here, so still holding out hope! I've never toured before so really have no idea what to expect?

i never get ready before.....it is so frustrating to wait! then not really healthy for your skin!
lastminute make up and not too much! many do not like too much make up anyway!
natural looking! i take 3 mins to do my make up, 5 mins to wear my outfit...shower i love i can take even 15 mins..
but even that i can take just 5 mins for shower!

As I start my incalls at 10am I normally try to be sat with my make up on by 9.30am, then if I get a call I can quickly get changed. Its worked for me so far however I think you are right about it not been good for my skin as ive noticed a few spots coming up.

I don't know what's going on in London, but last week and this week has been quite a disaster for me  >:(  I was very busy july to September so I don't know what the heck is going on.

I'm on tour in Scotland and it ain't pretty.

I am making my target, just, but it's sloooow. I would expect to be much busier. Have been before and am usually fully booked. No chance of that this time!

I'm here all damn week too.

i checked October 2016 and it was not so good compared to September...i really won t same thing this year but i can not control it!

I had 4 people book and then cancel one after the other all within 5hrs. I was having a slow day so I took some last min bookings, a first time ever for me too! Never had so many bookings and cancellations in such a short period  ::)

Got an hour AW outcall booking later and an early morning hour too so should make up for the lunacy of today.

natural looking! i take 3 mins to do my make up, 5 mins to wear my outfit...shower i love i can take even 15 mins..

I don't get why it's been so dead the last month or two and why it's not picking up yet  ???
Kids back at school, students back at uni ect, most people have finished holidaying?
Also thought things would pick up 1st oct as pay day for most who are paid monthly
What's going on?  ???

I think it depends on what you regard of as quiet day or week as we are all totally different
I'm on a two week tour finnishing up on Sunday night
I've had several really really busy days at the start of last week
It's much quieter this week but I'm still doing ok

I've hit my targets overall although I have had one quiet day in Leeds on Saturday  but that was  down to me feeling tired on that day 
 but I still feel  as if it dead although I'm know it's not It just  feels like it is because the bookings are pretty spaced out and I lose motivation if I have to much time in between bookings

If I was closer to home ( I'm at least a 4 hr drive away)  I would probably say fuck it and leave but I can't face a 4 hour drive in one go 😂So I'm staying till I move to my next location

I've got an hour booking for Friday, but nothing else. No way I'll make my weekly target this week, so I've taken the executive decision to take the rest of the day and tomorrow off to get on with other stuff. Thank f*ck I had a good week last week! Hopefully one of my Sunday regulars will be in touch over the weekend, if I'm lucky.

Been slow in Wembley today as there is an event on, took a couple of bookings yesterday for half hours but no more as I thought I'd be busy today! and it's more focused on kids so not a lot of singular guys coming back from football. I doubt I'll get many calls as parking will be a nightmare too. Might just head home if I don't gets any calls after 6.

I've only just started working Mondays for the past few weeks, I was always a Tues - Fri sorta gal. Are Mondays always so shit?

All I have done today is a 45 mins appointment, a few enquiries for 30mins (but that coincided with my booking), and now I've just got bored and turned my phone off. Tues - Fri are always fully booked days for me but my schedule only allows me to work Mon - Thurs now.

I book hotels and like to start my day early so if I want to work early on a Tuesday morning, I need to check in on Monday. It's a bit of a wasted day for me :-S

Central London is looking good for me this week. Rented an incall place from today 3pm and will be here till Thursday morning. Had already 2 x 1 hr today that covered the three day rent and then some. Have 3 confirmed for tomorrow ( deposit paid), 3 hour booking Wednesday morning (deposit paid) and one hour confirmed for Thursday morning right before check-out.  Hope to get the odd half hour and hour bookings to fill in the gaps but I am happy so far.

Really crappy week so far in NW London.
So far today had just one client for 30 mins and multiple time waster calls. Some of them regular time wasters (why do they bother?!)
I'm getting picky though lol which isn't possibly working to my advantage. I'm a bit peed off with the ones that do turn up and the lack of discretion coming into the building and also expecting PSE services when I clearly state I'm a GFE!
Think I need a day off or a stiff drink lol
I just had a go at a bloke for calling me then asking my prices...surely if you are serious about booking you would read the prices before calling!? The mind boggles lol
Hopefully it will pick up in a bit ....fingers crossed lol

2 regulars and 3 new punters...grateful! if i got more is better as i need to cover lost of last week that was horribly slow!
my phone is dead today ahaha because i am not AT on AW only normal email!
even i had a nap of 1hr this afternoon!

i hope will stay great like that for the rest of the month...

Central London. Ended up doing 1hr yesterday (Aldgate), then dropping my rates and doing another 45 minutes. Today (Paddington) I've done a half hour (was supposed to be an hour but he was late) and 1hr. Costs covered and a couple of hundred quid profit so can't complain, but my phone's gone a bit quiet. Hoping it'll pick up after work, one or two more clients would be nice. Could probably do with being busier though after being off for most of August, a fairly depressing September and the complete write-off that was last week. Got tomorrow and Thursday at the brothel, not expecting to make much there but we'll see.

It's partly that I don't do as well as other girls because I don't offer OWO or any fetish services (the setup is that girls offer whatever they want but you're not allowed to charge extra for anything except filming and anal), but also everyone agrees it's slow. There's some internal issues also with mismanagement that aren't helping but I won't go into that right here. I haven't done more than three clients in a day there since about July.

i started in a gentleman club, very very expansive and all girl we were very expensive! was not always busy but normally i was lucky! we started at 9pm to 3am, if you get 1 client then you can leave even at 1030pm!..as was sooo expansive was not always busy sometimes 1 client for all night and all girls waiting on the couch smocking cigarettes...manager was the worst one!
i made good money and i left when was still good for me but i was bored to stay there to wait...
between girls and owner was great and had good experience overall..i will never come back there or a similar kind of brothel..
(of course if i do not have choice i will)..i am less expensive as independent but i make more money and i do not need to wear long expansive dress...
this is my experience!
more many were drunk because they need to buy bottle of champagne or others, so clients aren t the best!

(of course if i do not have choice i will)..i am less expensive as independent but i make more money and i do not need to wear long expansive dress...
this is my experience!
more many were drunk because they need to buy bottle of champagne or others, so clients aren t the best!

We're a daytime operation, we shut up shop at 8pm, but definitely a lot of sitting around waiting for clients. The clients ime are usually fine though, and if they're even slightly badly behaved the maid deals with them very quickly. I have some regs there that book me for an hour fairly frequently, but it doesn't really equate to a proper income. Frankly I wish I could make enough to work exclusively at the brothel and not bother with independent as I find indie work stressful (I honestly hate phone calls so much) and I can't afford to take any risks financially so touring etc is really difficult, but I just don't make enough there to be viable, and with my other commitments I can't do anymore days than I do currently. I'm so skint I had to pay my rent with my savings this month, really need things to pick up soon! I just dropped my rates and added shorter appointments, and tbh I think the two clients I had today would've been happy with my old rates  :FF

Thank you. I was starting to believe I'm the only one lol! I was very busy July, August (which is weird) but came 3rd week of september and all of a sudden it really slowed down. It feels like February. It's so weird. I was used to the same financial "pattern" for years (July & August dead, mid September to end of January $$$$$) and the rest of the year (minus February which was usually dead) it was fine.

I believe the patterns are changing. brexit? Businesses relocating? Financial/political uncertity? devaluation of the pound? i have no clue what is in the air  >:(

i am working ok and i do not take phone call. Only email in order to book.
I had some issue of stress/anxiety so honetly by email is great! i do not risk a lot as i am screening very well and i never had bad experience...yes, sometimes some stupid or TW but nothing dangerous or violent.
I felt more safe to the gentl club because for wealthy clients. but it is not realistic, it is a feeling. I had bad experience once there. the guy was leaving without paying...i run and i take my money finally! i felt safe because i was not alone. happens for 1 month girls didn t work and stay there to wait anyway! it is not happens to me hopefully!

is good you work daytime!
where i worked they didn t take money from us...clients only must buy a bottle at ?200/300 at least, then he can talk with girls...

i am not the best as indipendent but i arrive to cover cost and bills even i am very selective.

last year October was not so great for me! i won t same, but apparently is slow for many of us! i had some email, and some text today..i refused them i didn t feel right and seems not read my profile...
i had an amazing booking this morning now..i rest as tomorrow long booking hopefully with one of my best!

There's a lot of gloom and doom in the news every day: companies moving out of the UK, a recession coming our way and pound going down. All these stuff psychologically makes people  become cautious and hold on to their money.

i had an amazing booking this morning now..i rest as tomorrow long booking hopefully with one of my best!

I used to work only through email when I started, and did well for a few months, but then the 'newness' of my profile wore off and I put my rates up a little bit (I was originally ?100/hr outcall only) so things dropped off a bit. I still take bookings by email but I don't have a permanent incall so a lot of the time I have to take 'right now' bookings which tend to come by phone I find. I had some anxiety issues for many years regarding phone calls but soon after I started working I had some therapy and it helped a lot, and this job has been great exposure therapy and done a lot to help my social anxiety (I no longer cry when my phone rings!), but talking on the phone still stresses me out and has no real screening benefits for me because I personally get a much better sense of people by how they type over how they talk. I've considered going back to my old rates/methods but I always feel like incall clients are better behaved than outcall clients with regards to finishing on time, (something about them being in your space vs the other way around?), and I usually do make more doing incalls, but it's a risk to pay out for hotel rooms all the time and I can't really afford to just lose ?100 right now. I don't know. I wish I could afford to rent an incall place so I could have a permanent base but my income is too variable atm and there's no way I'm risking it without at least four months rent behind me. I definitely like the safety aspect of the brothel, as well as the social side, and that it's zero risk financially (I don't pay anything if I only have one or 0 bookings), but the girls I was with today were both saying it's way worse than it was this time last year. But anyway, we're wandering away from the thread topic so I'll stop wittering on. Good vibes for everyone and hope it picks up soon!  :) :)

Post by: Lushblossom on 12 October 2017, 07:52:55 am
If I did email bookings only I would barely work.

I did however add outcalls to my profile yesterday and  that has attracted alot of interest.  The problem is they do not read my profile which specifies it is for daytime only.

I've had my best day today since July. I did entertain a guy who was sending wanky texts during the day and I might have cancelled normally. I put him in as my last booking so if he didnt' show I could just finish early. He did show up and it was a great booking!
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Kay on 13 October 2017, 12:41:39 am
I've just done a few calculations for my accountant. May and June this year I earned about 50 percent of what I did in May and June 2016, but July almost doubled this year. August significantly down, September significantly up, October looking about the same so far. In other words, no rhyme or reason to what happens each month!

Overall I'm 13 percent down this year over last, but that could be because I've not been able to do as many bookings because of being busy in my civvy job, plus a discount offer the summer. So basically, I'd say I'm perhaps only about five percent down in the true sense.

I have found this week ok but I have had a fair few trying to book at silly times and have had requests for long bookings which I am reluctant to do as I find them so tiring. I have noticed the last couple of week that I am being asked or more outcalls which are normally few and far between here.

This week was okay in the end, exceeded my mid-level targets even after hotel costs and caught up with an old regular. I've actually made what I consider to be decent money but it just feels so *slow*. Very few clients with long gaps in between and long days at the brothel with only one client. Still, I feel like I've made up for the write-off that was last week and after doing some sums I'm a lot more positive (I've already almost matched my September turnover albeit with a lot more expenses). I'm confident that at least 75% of the clients I saw this week will return. I'm getting the hang of maximising my AW visibility and found some good locations for working so now I've just gotta hustle harder until things pick up. But first, I'm having the weekend off, after I get all my admin done this evening.  :) Hope everyone has a nice weekend and makes lots of money next week!  ;D

I don't think there is any explanation, just pure coincidence to see a man who hasn't booked for a year etc and then another one shortly after that who also has emerged after a long absence.

One man I still remembered but had not seen for almost exactly a year, then the next booking was another who I last saw in the same week as the first one!  I didn't know for sure until I checked my paperwork for last year and could hardly believe my eyes.  Who cares as long as they turn up and pay.

Very odd but so is our work!  ::)

Think this 'hurricane' that is all over the news and social media is putting people off. I know it's stormy in Ireland, but here where there is a yellow warning it's nice and sunny without a breeze blowing by  ::) People are obviously warned to stay indoors in high winds. Living by the coast it's very normal to get winds of 70mph at this time of year. People just used to get on with it though before journalists behave like we're living in Tornado Valley  ::)

I finished at 5.30 last Monday and my phone started ringing again at 7pm or so. Yesterday I left my number and AT on after I finished and I didn't get a single phone call all evening. My booking for today hasn't confirmed so I've decided to just cut my losses and cancel, don't really want to spend another day watching bargain hunt when I could spend it not doing that, probably gonna go to the gym instead  ;D

I was supposed to go today but cancelled this morning, glad I did as my phone hasn't rung once (even though I'm still on local escorts), and now this post? I don't think I'll go back to Euston because it doesn't seem to work for me. I'm sorry you're having a crap day :( I hope tomorrow is better!

Thank you! <3
I really do hope it will pick up tomorrow...
Will try another area and see.

I found Preston very slow too, although I was there during school holidays.

I've been off for the last couple of days (where "day off" actually means "doing shit tons of housework because nobody else in the house can figure out how a washing up bowl works") so I'm back on tomorrow and hoping for good times.

I am doing well on this tour but I had 2 no shows (they didn't confirm) and my last client sent me a disgusting dick pick so he got blocked!

3 hours in the morning, all lovely clients, then a quickie (paid for dinner) then those TW tools!

I had lowered my hourly rate but it's back up now and I'm having a laid back day today and being very strict. I'm moving on again tomorrow for 3 more days on a 3 leg tour so I am not tolerating any nonsense today.

We're Central, we're cheap, we're all inclusive, nice flats, but my boss refuses to bloody advertise  :FF :FF I give up with this place, gonna go find a different flat to work in I think.

Oh for sure, it's slow everywhere, but it's like this here even when it's okay elsewhere. There's about 7 or 8 girls who are always busy and everyone else goes home with ?100 or less. When I say he doesn't advertise, I mean we don't have one single advertisement anywhere on the internet except for Twitter, which basically just posts free wank material since we have to take new photos every day we work.

I'm just moaning because this is the sixth week in a row where I've made less than ?200 in two days here (I'm not holding out great hope for tomorrow) and I'm at my wit's end. I'll find somewhere else and even one okay day a week (for that "new girl" busy period) will help me out a lot. It's gonna be fine  :)

Oh, I'm indie as well, but I have to work from hotels and I can't really afford to risk losing ?70 - ?100 in a day too often, and have had very little interest in outcalls recently. I like working in flats because it's more social and if I don't earn at least it doesn't cost me anything. I did well for a couple of weeks when I started here, went quiet over the summer but now it's apparent I'm probably not gonna pick back up again anytime soon.

YES, great attitude! i had bad weeks and wonderful ones! it is like that! i do not expect too much from October as i was slow last year too. i didn t too much this month, but i covered bills, rent and necessary shopping at least! i do not waste my time today as i look to plan something for the future!
today bad luck! one aw member he didn t confirm and even didn t cancel! honestly i do not care! i believe in Karma LoL! XX
i rest and i am proud because i did something good for my future that maybe doesn t work, but i tried!

i do not think that your boss can advertise more or too much as it is illegal...so..
of course in a new place you ll be new and may be busy...

Yeah, I think that's his concern (maybe?) but other places manage fine, and if you choose to run an illegal business you should accept a certain level of risk I feel. I wouldn't even mind so much if he didn't constantly text us/the maids telling us it's our fault we're not busy when we've all told him he needs to advertise if he wants more customers. He's a bit of a knob, treats the maids like crap even though most of them have either worked or run their own flats or both and know what they're talking about. Oh well, greener pastures. I hope things pick up for you soon! :)

I used to work up until last year in a brothel in central London. They didn't do any internet advertising whatsoever just relying on 'card boys' putting up tacky ads in phone boxes. There would be nights where the cards would be ripped out by rival flats so there would be many a night where we would literally turn up for a shift and literally sit and sleep until the morning. No clients. Then on nights there would be clients there would be about eight girls in the flat. Competition was fierce.

Becoming independent was the best move I made. Hard to believe some brothels still rely with no internet advertising though. The ones I worked for were dead against it for some reason

Very high turnover, he basically relies on hiring a new girl every week, plus a few girls who are busy because they've been there for years and every client is one of their regs. You're busy for your first four days or so and then it drops off, and then it's just down to who does the most services for the ?70 (we're only allowed to charge extra for anal and filming).

Oh, we don't even do that. He just puts photos on Twitter and is surprised when likes don't translate to bookings. We have a decent pool of clients but not enough for nine girls in three locations to be busy 7 days a week, and we almost never attract new clients.

Anyway, my shitty manager is off topic so I'll quit whining now. Good vibes everyone, hope we're all nice and busy next week!  ;D

Abysmal tour of Cheltenham.  Strange since last time I was here it was fine. My first booking (if he fricking shows) today after arriving Friday.

Just TWs, and to add insult to injury was woken at 3.30am by some extremely rowdy Geordies.  They would not shut up despite the Manager coming up on multiple occasions so I had to switch rooms. I went swimming to try clear my head only to find a screaming child also there being taught to swim.

So not looking or feeling great! So thank god for make up.

Here, when I say the economy has slowed down I'm not making things up. I have been in the industry for many years and I'm very very familiar with the financial patterns. I have noticed (starting this summer) a change in patterns, business wise THIS is not being a normal October by any means. It's abnormally slow for being this time of the year. I'm leaving a link of an article I read this morning  and comfirmed "it's not just me but it's slow at the minute" for many people.

[removed - once again, do not post press urls on the forum]

I like to see around 3 or 4 a day. This week I started on Sunday and had 2. Monday looked promising with 4 (3 of which were hours) but then both Tuesday and yesterday only had 2 on each day - all half hours. Have done one half hour this morning but it is very quiet. Didn't even get any calls or texts through the night last night (have my phone on silent so they don't bother me anyway) so it must be slow!
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Lushblossom on 26 October 2017, 01:55:54 pm
Yes I agree with Ana above.  It is slower since summer.

That said it has picked up a tad for me this week but overall the market is less buoyant and I put it down to the fact the pound is weaker now.

Ticking away nicely( but slowly) in Leeds this week, but more idiots than normal.

I'd be surprised if it's not more to do with half term - if your punters are mostly of an age when they have school age children (or even grandchildren, since they may have been roped into childcare while the parents are at work and the kids are off) then could that be more likely?

I don't find payday makes much difference here, but then quite a few of my regulars are either retired or paid weekly, and to be honest I don't think most of the others live quite so hand to mouth as that or they likely wouldn't be punting anyway :).

Monday was the same but not so much interest Tues, Wed & Thu. It being half term and me living in a holiday destination doesn't really help either but without touring overheads it's been a profitable week so I can't complain.

I am looking forward to getting back on the road on Sunday for my 3 leg tour though  ;D

End of month has not made a difference to my bookings at all. Some firms pay salaries then but plenty of other men do not rely on a weekly or monthly salary. No obvious link to anything when it comes to quiet days/weeks or months. A lot of older clients seem to book at any time of the month so I can only assume they are not hanging on for pay day, they are probably very comfortable in their old age and can spend what they want when they want.

I think I posted something similar a while ago but this week has been extremely quiet then all of a sudden in 2 days I make my target for the week.  I have given up worrying and wondering, it always evens out.

So glad I had just paused stranger things while eating pizza so I could just go straight back to it.

I've had a very very  busy weekend  Thurs - Sun pretty much non stop bookings
yesterday on Sunday it started off good 3 bookings by 2pm  but for some reason I started to feel a bit stressed out with regards to the cleaners in the corridor
I know the hotel really doesn't care but they were outside my door as my room was diagonal to  their store cuboard
So in the end I stayed till 5pm and even though thr cleaners had gone & the phone was still going mad I went home ( wish I had bloody stayed now though. 😂 )

Day 1 of 2 on the first leg of my 3 leg tour.

I have made just over my target but I have sat for 12 hours to get it. First client at 9am.

I have had a cancellation plus the usual all wanting the same appointment.

2 pre booked for tomorrow so half way there. I think guys were getting back into the swing of things after the half term.

I just had two really shitty tours, both where I literally just covered my costs.

Now things are looking up at my new destination.

Oh that would destroy me. Seven?! I rarely get them at all but am so low volume as far as number of bookings a week/month I don't worry about the odd idiot who doesn't turn up or confirm. 

My days lately have been very odd.  Dead one day then fine the next, dead for two days then ok for one then dead again then busy for two days, up and down all the time.  I do beleive that some men are being more careful these days with their cash as not even getting anything like the number of enquiries I used to and it isn't the low volume thing as I do not state it obviously on my profiles.

Glad I am not starting out and full time wanting ten bookings a day!!!

Is anybody considering offering any discounts over the winter spell?

Am thinking of knocking a tenner off my 1 hour to make it a flat ?100.

May boost business too.

I do get business tick over but always nice to feel more swamped!
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Justine on 01 November 2017, 11:28:36 am
May get some  raised eyebrows here but I have never reduced my rates or offered discounts as to my way of thinking it could look like I am desperate or something.  My rates are average for my area anyway.

If I really was desperate I would probably lower the rates but somehow I doubt it would make a huge difference to bookings, knocking a tenner off.

Instead of doing a discount on an hour, why not do a disount on hour and half bookings, that way you will get more out of clients rather than less

Good point Erotic yes may change it on the longer bookings.

My prices are good anyway but may attract some people who knows.

I have been busy today anyway.  Not changed anything yet.

On the contrary, Winter time seems to be a busier time of year. I would just stay the same. If you find yourself getting an influx of calls id even considering upping your rate to slow it down a bit! I have had to do this from time to time. Right now I?m thinking of having happy hour as it?s pretty dead  ::)

Same here Justine.. . I'm a little higher than most in my area hence why low volume. I've never lowered my rates for the same reason.

Yeah that does make sense. Dont think of those kind of days, completely forgot about black friday. I remember one year, my first christmas being a WG, I remember thinking oh for sure wont get any calls/texts on christmas day, surely? got loads, I think thats weird and also valentines day.

Ive had two days of Hell  :FF

My last tour destination was so bad for TW and pricks I bailed and came early to me next destination. I've had 3 half hours.

I have had emails on AW from clients who have mucked me about before and one had the audacity to send a follow up asking why I deleted the first one. Er... work it out, arsehole.

I have declined so many bookings today, I am exhausted from it and have bought a bottle of gin and ordered a Chinese.

My first leg out of 3 was good but this is a joke. I'm stuck here for two more days as I'm working from home next week so fingers crossed all the arseholes get fed up.

I've honestly never known it so bad in 18 months of touring!  :FF :FF :FF

Today has been TWs, A guy I had saved as No show, rang saying I cancelled last time? Then proceeds to do do another no show! Cheek of it, BLOCKED!

Did end up doing 1 hr booking with a really nice guy which made up for my bad day,
don't know if to call it a day or stay on..

Yup and it's started already this morning with two timewaster texts and a silent call.

My text autoresponse is on so that will filter out some of them.

Here's one that I'm sure every lady in my area got this morning: (Just love these generic texts)

" Morning, didn't want to call as it's quite early?  Could you let me know what your earliest appointmen t is please? Do you have anything around 10.30/11?

AUTORESPONSE

I cannot be booked by text.
If your enquiry is genuine please call me.

And another:

"Hi Lucy, we haven't met before so I hope you don't mind me calling you Lucy?
I was hoping you were free today (Sorry for the short notice)

Well he can call me Pocahontas as long he books me  :D

Alas, the phone has not rung.

Hope this cheers some of you up this morning.

Yup and it's started already this morning with two timewaster texts and a silent call.

My text autoresponse is on so that will filter out some of them.

Here's one that I'm sure every lady in my area got this morning: (Just love these generic texts)

" Morning, didn't want to call as it's quite early?  Could you let me know what your earliest appointmen t is please? Do you have anything around 10.30/11?

AUTORESPONSE

I cannot be booked by text.
If your enquiry is genuine please call me.

And another:

"Hi Lucy, we haven't met before so I hope you don't mind me calling you Lucy?
I was hoping you were free today (Sorry for the short notice)

Well he can call me Pocahontas as long he books me  :D

Alas, the phone has not rung.

Hope this cheers some of you up this morning.
Made me smile, at least they aren't rude/ignorant.
How about "hi would you cim see me at (postcode)? I'm not big but never had anyone touch my balls with there lips fancy putting this right?"
Wtf!!?

Yes you're right.  Black Friday is the last Friday in November.  Essentially the last pay day weekend before Christmas so everyone goes spending crazy.

Has been so bad for me for about a month.  Thank goodness for lovely regulars. Yesterday I had my number showing but NO new calls. Ended up with 2 bookings though from regulars. Neither of them could stay long though, when I'm quiet I don't mind regs hanging around lol x

Ditto for Coatbridge.
Was thinking of debuting Glasgow tomorrow, but my hotels of choice are either fully-booked (like the 2 just outside the city centre with on-site parking that I looked at) or too expensive (like one of the city centre places that I browsed where tomorrow night alone would cost ?390).
Shit.

Only had 1 call today and I could tell as soon as I answered the phone I wouldn't be taking the booking,
boundary pushing from the start!!
Saying I sound young, do I just do everything, I said please check my profile I don't discuss my services over the phone when they are on my profile,
kept saying but I like to do certain things (not saying what) again I said please check my profile. He started being aggressive so I just hung up!

I don't like it when they are so keen for you to say every service you do, kind of feels rude to me,
I don't know if that is just me being defensive though  ???

No I don't detail services over the phone and like you refer them back to my profile. Anyone serious will check what you do and don't do before they call - and if not then it only takes a minute to look then call back!

Yes I did ask that and usually will, he did not want to simply tell me. Just persistently said do I do it all, which I said check profile, just wanted me to go thru my full list of services which I won't do.

Even the time wasters can't be bothered with me at the moment, I'm getting a maximum of 2 people contact me a day for the past 2 weeks and most of them are just pushing their luck with no intention to book. I know some other escorts in the area (liverpool/manchester) are having the same issue. So frustrating!

What with October always being a lean month, having been sick also and losing even more money through that and business generally quite a lot quieter things are getting to really worry me.  I am working on positive thinking but there is a limit!

I had lots of texts this morning but people can't or don't get back to me. 

In 5  years of escorting life never felt quite this crap.

Sorry to moan .....

Seriously, what is going on this week??? Today 1 phone call and that was a blocked number. Not even getting any late night/early morning calls and used to get at least 5 of them daily. When I first starting doing this over 2 years ago, always got calls/texts/emails every single day and back then was only on a couple of sites. AW has been completely dead for me for the past couple of days. It has to pick up soon right??  :'(

Echoing the sentiments above, I'm so grateful for this site and the support network it gives. I'm in manchester and work both independantly and with an agency part time - not had a job with agency in over a week, independant slow but just about ticking me over. Not sure what's going on as literally every girl I've spoken to in Manchester (and elsewhere) it's dead for them. This time last year when I worked just a handful of hours a week due to also having a full time job I was much busier. :( Hope things pick up soon for us all, hugs xxxx

Currently lying in bed with a heat patch on my back. 😂 I think that says it all. Not even three cups of coffee can help me from falling asleep. Waiting and waiting... And except timewasters and hagglers, no-one is really getting in contact.

I seriously can't tell how happy I am about my regulars that rescued the day yesterday...

I've had nothing but inane messages since I've started working again. I've been asked if I can do an outcall to Exeter (which would cost at least ?300 there and back in a taxi) and then he asks whether I'm local....errrr, no, I'm not, which my profile states.

Ive had just one 15minute Quickie this week so far:( Last week was also very quiet,did 2 bookings between monday and friday. If things continue like this I mite have to get a civvy job...scary thought. I thought id give Vivastreet a go but all ive had are late nite calls from timewasters. Just hoping things will improve in the very near future.

Haven't even had 1 phone call today (apart from one from myself testing if it was actually working!). Was also quiet Sunday and Monday however yesterday was good with 3 appts (30 mins, 1hr & 90 mins). Haven't got a massive target this week but still need to earn some more by the end of Friday. Going my previous years I always thought Nov and Dec were busy so seems it's slow to get started this year. Really hope the next couple of weeks (at least) are better as got lots of expenses coming up (as most of us have I guess!)

Hope things get better for you x things go down but they go up too :)

Sigh thought I was starting off on a good day. Meet with someone ive seen before at 1:30pm and a new meet at 4pm. 1:30pm not shown up with no message/call and 4pm seems to be making excuses already!!!  :FF

At times this kind of work is so unfair xx

Big hugs to you. Really know the feeling. Dont know about you but I think its worse when you think you have a full day of meets booked and you think about the possible amount of money you will earn for the day and you can 'relax' a bit especially if meets arent so spread out and once over, you have the evening free etc but then one by one, a poor excuse after another, all cancel.

I get so mad and frustrated because its completely out of your control. its very cruel and unfair. In a way it feels you have been working as its just stressful, most normal jobs are like that but least they get paid for it!!  :FF

so really feel your pain. more hugs to you  xxx

Yeah exactly!! dont know about you but I like to be organised and know what I am doing. In a perfect ideal world (I know this is  near impossible) would love it if could get my bookings for the day in the morning and then I am set for the day! even trying out a special deal on AW if they book same day in the morning, they get a discounted rate but no interest yet but can only hope! lol. Really hope things pick up for you hun. I completely understand the frustration! Even more annoying when its completely out of your control.

I think that would be the ideal for all of us! I have posted something similiar before and some days really are like that, a couple of bookings by say 1pm so the rest of the day to happily do whatever I want while knowing the day's target is made.  If only all days were like that but the reverse sometimes also happens, nothing or nothing but let downs until late afternoon then in come the real bookings.

It is the nature of the beast that is escorting.  ::)

Unfortunately so many people seem to think because they see the hourly fee we are all making a fortune and the truth is it is not as busy as the punters think and we do not earn thousands and thousands a week. It has a lot of downsides too a lot of anxiety and having to be extra careful you do not take a booking off a nutter.

Yes this is too true. There are upsides to this (well there must be as wouldnt be doing this right?) but most clients seriously dont understand this work is far from easy and there is a cost for us emotionally. I have times I really struggle and like most people I think to myself 'think of the money' but what happens when work drys up? still struggling but no money coming in and also its all the extras you have to pay for like sexy underwear, toys, advertising etc and of course normal costs of living and that comes first so have to pay that before you can even try and save (if you are doing this for a specific reason) Been doing this full time now since July this year (been an WG on and off for a few years now) and I am nowhere near my saving target. Anyway, sorry bit of a rant there (sorry day slow so far lol)

Understand what you mean about the nutters too! horrible feeling when its been days without no work and the only kind you get are dodgy ones, I choose not to now but even in that moment you dont think no straight away.

Not everyone of course, but some people are just plain cruel and feed off other peoples stress and misery

Anyway, wish you a good weekend. Friday already! lol xx

Phone has been spookily quiet today and most the week in general actually. I usually only have a zero appts day once every so often but looks like this is the second one this week! I've taken new pic's and also added some to private gallery, got number and AT showing as normal and took out a free 2 month advert on an advertising site, but this week is dire!

Got 5 days off coming up (it's my birthday on Monday!) and I'm quite a bit under my target earnings for this week. Going to try to worry about it and can only hope it's better when I come back to it fresh next week.

Good luck everyone x

I am guessing this would be ideal to ask this question on this thread?

Ever since ive been doing this seriously and full time in the last few months, nearly every Sunday has been near dead or tend to get very last min bookings later on in the day. Doesnt bother me, in fact makes me think Sunday can be my 'official' day off.

Where I turn off my phone and actually have a day to myself or do with how I wish. Think its important to have at least one day off a week. Just wanted to ask you fellow WGs is Sunday a very common day for no or little business? or just get very late on day bookings? I am assuming this day will always be quiet for most as suppose its the day after saturday where most have gone out the night before, drank way too much or spent too much. Hence why no calls until very later.

Just curious :)

I find Sundays vary between dead and popular. I haven't done any analysis, but my gut feeling is Sundays are better in the summer. Sometimes I do get the odd last-minute booking on a Sunday evening, but normally if I haven't heard anything by about 2pm I know it will be a dead day. Saturdays are similar for me.

is for me! sometimes i get some booking but only if prebooked! i do not switch on my phone also...
i really need a break from my phone more then sex....

know that you do not need to clean my flat as routine every day...so will be nice and messy...
usually i take a looooong shower, as during the week it is more speed time!

i always worked more on saturdays...since 3 years i can say that sunday do not worth it...

I find Sundays generally busy, but most bookings will be last minute and a lot will be from guys who are "just popping to B&Q love, back in an hour!"

When I worked from home I never took an official day off, even if I didn't have AT on I would leave my phone on or I'd be camming. Now my son has moved back in with me it's forced me to take proper days off when I come home from tour and I feel it's a lot healthier for me that way.

i can not anymore work everyday...it is not my body need is more my CNS.
then routine can be killer...at least to me!

one day that i know that i do not work...relax my self...so not last minute booking...
i think that this is an awesome job, that i allow me to work less and to earn more.. so i need to enjoy it!
i am not always looking for money, i need something else as well to keep me sane!

anyway all that working everyday...i have a great appreciation!


Today some request, just to come to topic! but yet no booking. i refuse one this morning!

Sunday i think that really depend your area and maybe be lucky...in my experience...i always had a slow day on Sunday..
i tried two weeks ago to be AT and even with that nothing! Sunday...i m coming from a religious background so i am really conditioned and to me is rest day! i am not anymore religious, but i keep that good habits LOL  ;D ;D ;D

Thanks for all the advice. Yeah Sunday does seem like a weird day, like yesterday, in the evening it suddenly went crazy busy! weird lol. But maybe best to see how my week has been and that can tell me if I can have the day off or not. Really think its important to have time off especially when very busy. Money is great and you need it to live but also you need to have fun and relax with downtime.

Before I started this full time, used to spend a lot of time with my mum as lost my dad a couple of years ago so I am really all she has but because of work, not been able to see her as much or do our trips away. Feel guilty but she knows its work related (told her I am a personal trainer) but life is too short to be working 24/7 so try and make sure to have downtime and not stress over work stuff.

Changing the subject.....its a new day, new week. Wish everyone well. Stay safe xx

Doesn't matter where I am Sunday is usually rubbish **unless** it's an advance booking.

This week on tour on a Monday has been shite hopefully about to saved by an outcall.

Hope your outcall goes ahead and goes well. Just 1 hour incall for me today but fingers crossed a busy week with regulars so not too stressed at the moment. Booked myself for a massage tomorrow in the morning which I am very much looking forward to. I am very active with the gym each day and then of course this work, so my poor back has been killing so going to treat myself to some me time in the morning :)

Had half an hour so far this week. November is costing me a fortune with Christmas presents and I'm getting an alarm fitted in my place of work this week too. At the moment, I have zero security apart from a friend who I text about bookings. Oh, and a few rape alarms  :) This alarm sounds great though. Phones the police etc ...

Really hope things pick up for you soon. As its horrible feeling like its your own fault and not having control of how much interest you get. Plus really hope you enjoy your night out at the opera. Sounds like you very much deserve a fun night out  :)

I think it is just very slow for everyone atm, today I did one pre booking at 1pm and now I have stopped, yesterday I was available all day and only two half hours..
Couple of months ago it would be 4 jobs then turning away people! Crazy the difference.
I hope it picks up for us all very soon, maybe after xmas period it go back to normal?
hope so  :-*

This week has been very slow for me!  ??? I did 3 jobs so far in 2 days, usually I would do a lot more.. I am grateful I still did some jobs though don't get me wrong.
Today I have been getting lots of enquiries but all from people I do not wish to see!!
One previous client I seen who boundary pushing and just winds me up, nope
Then a guy who seems erratic and creepy, then a guy who said can't you do outcall to my house?
I have on my profile I do not do house visit only incall / city centre hotels..
'Not for a 5 hour booking no?' I said no I do not even do 5 hours with someone new anyway!!  :FF

Possibly got a normal guy booking at 3pm lol! Be very happy if I do 2-3 jobs today!

Hope you ladies are having a better afternoon than me so far  :-*

Well I've had my 5 days off and come back today and doesn't look like things have picked up much  :(

Have just had one half hour so far. I wonder if people are saving their money for tomorrow (black Friday)? Beauticians I went to yesterday told me they are very quiet this week as well.

November has been my best month yet. Plenty of long outcall booking, one weekend booking, an other overnight booking. Normally I book an incall place for a day to three per week but didn't at all this month. Obviously If I had done incalls too the amount I could have made this month could have been even more  :FF But I am very happy nonetheless :)

Will do enough incalls when going on tour in a week.  Well, fingers crossed....

I prefer them as well especially since I am not doing incalls from home and usually the outcall requests are very few, so i am very surprised on what's going on but I am not complaining.

Post by: baijiu on 24 November 2017, 08:59:10 am
Quietly had some time off, but been back for a week or so and it's not looking any better. I started at a new brothel, but it's also quiet and they even told me not to come in this Sunday because they're switching to one girl at the weekends and alternating since there's so few customers. If even the brothel isn't trying to make money out of you, you know it's gotta be bad!

I can't afford to tour, but I'm gonna call some more flats outside of London and see if the grass is any greener. I've decided to low-key move to China for a few months in February so no point looking for a civvy job, just need to get through the next ten weeks or so! (Will make a proper thread nearer the time, but if anyone has any tips for working in Hong Kong they're happy to share or wants to buddy up, do PM me!)

I've definitely noticed a difference this past few weeks. It's just people saving their cash for other things.

I have a good few regs which tick me over but admittedly, my day has been rsther quiet today. Normally my phone rings off the hook but only had a few calls. It's just the time of year I am afraid :(

I have been in the industry for 7 years now, when I first started escorting there was not enough girls for the amount of men that were calling (I worked for a london agency then and knew the sex industry was BOOMING) but since the ?credit crunch? I saw it get a little bit quieter each year- But this last 6 months has been terrible!?
What are your thoughts on why?
1)I think things will get better as soon as we know what will happen with the brexit deal (some businesses are putting projects on hold or moving overseas to stay within the EU)
2) The rising use of dating apps, a-lot of my male friends often boast about easily getting sex from these sites
3) Lot?s of new girls in the business (my area has 10 pages of profiles on aw alone!)

I have a client who showers so thoroughly after the booking as we do watersports and he must scrub himself to within an inch of his life, ages in the bathroom.  First time he did this I asked him was he washing his sins away. He thought that was a giggle. He never forgot this and every time he comes back in my room with his towel around him he says "they've gone down your plughole" and I have to (fake a) laugh each time.  ::) :)

I feel everyone's pain I did incalls Thursday and Friday and only one booking entire time I was in hotel. Phone rang for stupid inquiries. Winter sucks it's freezing it is that bad that I returned home and no gas or electric I had to stoop the point of asking my long term regular to send me twenty pounds luckily the guy did not refuse but my gosh I do hope the festive month picks up for all of us. x

[suspicious]I've had to quit touring. I've made next to nothing on my last 3 tours. Had to resort to seeing a few at home whilst my housemates are out (really not ideal) x[/suspicious]

I had one of those odd Saturdays where I have a feeling no bookings will come in (am happy if they don't if the few days prior have been ok and they were) then two clients I have not seen for over 18months make bookings.  Coincidence but nice.

Since Monday I?ve done just 1 booking...it?s been awful. Today though I have a 3 hour booking so at least if it?s another dead week ahead I?ve earned something. I?m off to Thailand on Friday with my daughters and to be honest, if I?d known how quiet the last few months were going to be, I wouldn?t have booked it in the first place. Let?s hope business picks up for us all in 2018 but I?m not confident. Even my ?regulars? aren?t so regular anymore.

I had a missed call this morning and nothing since.  I tried to get back but they had voicemail.

Other than that diddly squat.  Sweet FA.

Monday was quiet too, 1 hour work but on balance an hour a day is fine average as I still work at home until I start at hotels February next year.  I have had enough working from home and can increase my hours of availability that way too.

Hey ho it can only get better and Wednesday can quite often be the worst day of the week this region anyway.  :)

I have a horrible feeling there will be no "rush" of bookings prior to Xmas. Think most are watching their money very carefully this year so if it's this quiet before Xmas I think we're gonna get a shock in the new year 😕. I know I for one have cut back massively on the madness of Xmas and am saving as much as I can
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: LotusFlower on 06 December 2017, 02:19:50 pm
I have been having a miserable week this week. So many cancellations, no shows and just utter idiots contacting me.

It has got to the point where I have made a firm decision to drastically reduce my working days to just one or two and take up webcamming. I have spent the majority of the past 2 days of my tour sitting twiddling my thumbs in severe depression. Just can't take it any more.

I have NEVER experienced this in my city. Normally I am booked up well in advance but something has changed this Xmas in comparison to the last few. If I didn't have such high overheads, it wouldn't bother me so much, but I haven't even covered my costs of my apartment this week.

After a long break and moving across the country, this is my first week properly working and its been quiet here. Had only 1 booking on Monday come through, loads of time wasters tuesday and today, only about 2/3 calls asking for things clearly stated on ad/website I do not provide  :FF

A bit OT, but I have a friend who owns a B&B in a fairly upmarket part of the country. He did OK over the summer, but now is hardly getting any bookings. Neither are his local rivals, and one of them is selling up. He's of the same opinion that people are saving, not spending, and generally feeling the crunch.

I had nothing but that sodding look n go today. And 1 call from someone trying to block book me on Friday which quite frankly sounds very fishy, and 1 text for a booking for half n hour tonight with a guy I'm not keen on that I cannot take as it's after the time I finish and I am busy actually doing something which doesn't involve sitting around on my own waiting for something to bloody happen!!! That is all. If things don't improve over the next few days I'm going to try phonesex work. I need an income!!!

I've genuinely never had it so bad. Even when people in my city were complaining before, I was fine. Now?!!! Fricking now?!! I shelled out ?300 for an apartment for 3 nights and have barely covered my costs of accommodation and childcare.

My booking procedures are pretty tight but somehow I have had more cancellations and no shows than actual clients. Normally I'd be sitting on over 1k by now. I've done a little over a quarter of that.

I'm going home to set up webcam accounts because this is ridiculous.

For years on and off there is always excuses why periods go quiet but the truth is this industry is very up and down and lets be honest most clients that see us are not rich but normal working men who do not always have lots of disposable income and there is so many sex workers out there to choose at all different prices.

There is no pattern to why it is quiet or busy but if you look good and are new in an area you will usually be busy to start with then it tails off even if you build up some regulars.

It is up and down and dependent on a whole host of factors as EG says.

You just have to market yourself as well as you can for the area you are in.  I've had a busy week last week and this week but equally, have had failed tours in the last few months.

My ability to move around helps.

I only had one pre booked in for today at 12pm, a regular who is super dependable.

Managed to do a half hour before him though with a man I see a couple of times a year. Seems like the guys are giving themselves a seasonal treat as I got another hour then a 45 mins after my 12pm. Three were all short notice and I made the effort despite being happy if I only had my 12pm.  This has worn me out mentally, years ago it would not have done that.

Also got a couple of gifts, a bottle of wine and an extra tenner. My clients are not prone to dishing out the diamonds but every little offering is most welcome.  :)

I have never had so many morons, timewasters and downright rude men contact me this week. I've had requests for things I don't do, persistence and disrespect when I won't see them, a man asking to just come and say 'hi', tonnes of mn with no feedback/no profiles... I'm going to be down moneywise after this week. If every TW had been genuine this week I would be one rich bitch.

Can't say whether it's Xmas related - I've come to accept that there is zero rhyme or reason to this job. But man, this week has been something else! Exhausting. Last day tomorrow, surely something good will happen?????? ???

 Couldn't agree more every few weeks there is a post with reasons as to why it's slow
Brexit , school holidays , weather. Xmas , new year, Easter  ,  to be honest I don't think any of these things make a massive difference .  This industry has always been a bit like that

Ive have been doing this since 1999 , the only time I find it mega mega dead is mid January otherwise as long as I put my head down and work it's generally pretty much ok


There is multiple reasons as to why a SW  might be quiet  prices , services, photos , area & location direct competition , limited hours ,  only doing outcalls. Not advertising enough not being able to suss out TW  and also having a decent amount of money behind you to fall back on when it goes quiet or you have an unexpected bill of some sort .

 You just have to work out what works best for you and work with it

Actually the one thing that will fuck up my Xmas tours will be heavy snow but that's about it

After reading of the January quietest month comment(s) I took a look at back Januaries and found I was no more busy or quiet than other months. 

What I agree with most wholeheartedly though is that there is no real reason as far as I can see why certain days or weeks are quiet. School holidays/Brexit/rise or fall in interest rates/the weather, and many more, make no difference to me and I can have a day of no phone calls (which would scare the life out of me years ago) then a busy day.

Inconsiderate clients should organise themselves and give me one or two bookings every day before mid day and that would be perfect.  ;D

The other thing is the internet & forums like Saafe
When I started you didn't have forums so there was no one to ask if they have been dead slow or crazy busy .
You just put your adds up in the newspapers and worked  busy or slow it didn't really matter as you had no one to compare with unless you were working in a massage parlour .

But no  you have  several times a week people posting saying they are quiet or no bookings  but without knowing where they are located , what they charge , what services they offer and there availability it really means nothing at all . 
Someone on posting they are dead but only offering out calls or only working one day a week or limited hours will most likely be a lot quieter than someone workimg 11am 10 pm 5 -7 days a week

In 7 years I've never had such a slow December.

I am really flexible with my working hours and pricing wise I'm about average for my area. But I will say in the last 5 years prices have been going down my prices used to be higher. I've added some services, some as extras.  In the last couple of months I've also added some specialist services separate from my normal GFE etc which have a different price structure.

I'm advertising everywhere I can for my area so just hope it picks up soon

Hope you get through that long one ok , :)
Pace yourself I find time goes slow so whether your playing music or visiting a hotel or private residence .. chatting also passes the time too.

Post by: MJxx on 09 December 2017, 03:47:14 pm
I use to get lots of bookings for 160 per hour and 110 half hour, use to be quite busy. Last six weeks due to myself being ill and being unavailable I?ve not been as busy, maybe only working two days a week and only a couple of bookings. I want to get back productive and working everyday..

I was thinking should I lower my prices to 140 per hour for this area? As I am gfe and I don?t do cim/anal or anything.
I?ve recently done that today to see how it goes,
I was wondering if any of you would take a look at my profile and give some advice?
Would be appreciated thank you x

Rubbish, it depends massively where you live.

Try charging ?100 for 30 minutes in most of Scotland, the NE and some of the Midlands, you?d be laughed out of the door.

If you are fortunate enough to live in some parts of London or the SE then its possible.  Even then there is so much competition and only a relative minority of guys who are willing to pay this amount, It is most definately not the norm.
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Justine on 11 December 2017, 12:00:17 pm
Asking 100 for a half hour booking may work in some areas but as said above no way is it across the board. In my area hardly any man would ever pay that for 30mins! Unlikely even 80! I know some sps state a very high rate for short bookings to put men off and so they may book the longer durations but that in my mind is too much messing around, either do short bookings with a reasonable rate or do not advertise them at all.
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Sarastar1 on 11 December 2017, 12:26:41 pm
I live in NW London but the area is saturated with lots of ladies ranging from 20 to 45yrs old charging ?60 per hour!
I had a client on Saturday who I hadn't seen in a year and he mentioned himself that there are many more escorts than last year where I'm based.
Luckily I do have some regulars that tide me over but I'm certainly not going to lower my price to ?60 for the hour. Even though Central London is a bus ride from me I certainly can't justify ?100 30 mins where I am. The local clientele already expect a lot for their money round here.
I'm hoping it's Monday morning and the shite weather but the phone isn't ringing today at all. This time last year I was very busy but it's seems more of a struggle this year!
Hopefully things pick up soon!

60 an hour for London that is insane i would rather go to central London rent a hotel room and charge a lot more... It is ridiculous for the risks of the job and the shit we all have to put up with.

Yes it's terrible! There are groups of girls setting up left right and centre round here...recently a prominent group in my local search list (they move around a lot) have moved quite close to my location. They are ?60 per hour and I've certainly noticed more and more cheaper profiles cropping up. I'm pretty low price myself but not that low and I don't want to reduce my rates.

It's been a very slow day today and I've had a regular cancelling his evening appointment and asking to reschedule for 5am tmrw! Also so many time wasting....apparently the traffic locally is terrible so that's not helping!

i worked mon and tue lunch time and of course i had other two requests for lunch time as well...
i taken the advanced booking.
Today still early...to know...
with this weather i do not know if it is going to pick up....

yes, many regulars they are going to come before Christmas...at least what they said to me! we ll see!
actually i got 2 advanced, one for Saturday and one for next monday.

Tomorrow i need to go to hospital in the afternoon for a check...so i can not work..i can not cancel another time....LOL
i want to come back to work more hard...but seems that my motivation is not enough....
i invested time for something else last week...and i lost booking....i do not regret but now i need to be a money machine..if i want to enjoy my christmas! at least buy a nice meal on 25! i do not ask too much!

I was saved this week by an unexpected 2 hour booking yesterday afternoon. But then of course whilst I was cooking and eating in the evening I had 3 missed calls in a short space of time, Sod?s law.

Also in London (central) and this is my worst ever december in years, even regulars are messing about and cancelling. Had numerous cancellations over last week, people not confirming at agreed time and then a barrage of 3AM texts each time i turn phone on. Also doing AT and local on AW and displaying number, and still quiet or just getting stupid texts with Qs already obvious on my page. Got quite few advanced for next week, so hoping to be busy, hoping it pivks up for everyone..

Quiet today on the phone but unfortunately quite a few TWs.

What is happening today?! Today I've had 3 bookings over the phone today and as soon as I've given them the postcode, they've miraculously dropped off the face of the earth!  :FF

It's a good job I don't give my full address and postcode out. I'm going to go back to giving it them an hour before they leave.

I've got some advance bookings in for the rest of the week though thankfully, so it's not all bad I suppose.

My phone was scarily dead til today, I was becoming very worried as I need the cash right now due to health issues following a hotel issue ive had so much time off recently, but zero calls on several days which is almost unheard of.
 
Come back to my old town today and I am inundated with old clients calling and fully booked for tomorrow. Thank God for them as otherwise this month could have been a total disaster and I ended up in savings most of this month which rn is just not an option. Time to make a months money in a day.

I heard it's quiet but I haven't been working as I am with the family and on holiday break. I put my hourly price up by GBP30 (200) and showed my number just to test the waters and see what happens (what can I lose right? since I am not really waiting on bookings anyways lol). Had 3 pretty genuine sounding inquiries asking what time I am available and I said unfortunately already fully booked. I put myself then to service seeker because I don't trust AW and don't want to be reported or get my profile deleted again lol

Anyways when I am back to work 1st week of January I will try the rate out for a week or two and see how it goes.

Well i popped in to retail park before going to my hotel and honestly cannot believe the tail backs took me 30 mins to get out and lots of men obviously off work.

Had 2 cancelled bookings and a fair few timewasters so wish i decided to take today and tomorrow off as it is right before xmas.

Well I'm no help. It was my first proper working week in the North East (around PT job/student life) so have no real idea what a 'good week' is - but I made a good profit in my eyes! Although I don't doubt to many it would be considered a bad week - but I'm low volume.

I made a measly ?50 in my PT job today - I deal with the public and had such a stressful shift with no lunch break. On the way home thought how I'd make more in 30 mins than a shift there and wanted to cry  :'(

Do many SPs lower their fees slightly in January? I know it's a hard month for many and don't want to be out of pocket when booking hotels/apartments.

This month has probably been my month since I started. Last week a man visiting UK booked me just to chat with him at a hotel bar for 3 hours - no sex. That was the best ?500 I've earned lol. Had a few tws, but overall things have picked up.

Hopefully as this thread has gone quiet it means everyone is busy (or just off for Xmas/New Year!)

I was off from the 23rd - 27th and was back on Thurs 28th. Had a good couple of days but then yesterday I had a bad headache so chose just to see someone I had seen before for a quick half hr in the morning then put my phone on silent. At the end of the day I looked and I hadn't had 1 call! Today there have been more calls but timewasters galore including 1 no show! I sensed he wouldn't turn up so only directed him into my town rather than giving out my post code and didn't bother getting ready! I normally suss them out but always welcome being proved wrong!

So no bookings today. Am wondering if tomorrow will be similar? I'm around till Weds then off for a few days rest so would like 2 or 3 each day until then if possible!

Yesterday I was available but really didn't expect anything on NYE. A very chirpy and pleasant man booked for late afternoon and arrived bang on time despite driving a long way. Last one of the year and I was happy.

Who will be my first foot I wonder, am available today as not much of a drinker or a partier, I sound boring don't I?   ;D

I have been sick for 2 weeks with a cold/flu & chest infection so am forced to take time off. I can?t see I will be fully fit until mid Jan.

Which is a big blow to my finances.  I have only just looked at my emails etc after a week?s absence and can?t see much demand atm.

My 3 hour booking this morning cancelled at 2.30am. He has health problems and is now in hospital.

I could cry. All that money gone. I know it's not guaranteed until the money is in your hand, but I thought this week would be fab cos of it.

It's a good job I've already had 2 hours this week and just about made my target, but I don't often get long bookings like this.

This is why I can never bring myself to tour like so many of you do. I'm low volume anyway, but the thought of going away and making a loss makes me ill  :-X

This year because my stupid dog OY managed to find the only nail in my garden and rip his paw open

I have my eye on a holiday the first week in march

Yesterday I started my 4 day tour and it was a disaster. Had one regular booked in who said "oh btw I might be 30 min late ( 20 min before he was due to arrive)" :FF I could have still seen him but I decided to go on a Tinder date instead and be wined and dined lol (which was amazing btw).

My regular was totally shocked that I had something else planned besides him ( imagine that!) and said "I actually planned to stay two hours" (probably to get me to still accommodate him also again assuming that I got nothing else going on) but I stayed firm to show him that it doesn't work like that.

Anyways got back to my incall few minutes after midnight and didn't buy local escort so let's see what today brings  :FF ;D ;D ;D ;D

Had one other booked for just now and he came and got 1 min later a phone call and had to cancel. I was just about to post him here as look & go but he just texted that he is very sorry about this and will make it up to me..... I will give him the benefit of doubt, I guess...

At least that's something. All I get is enquiries
asking can I come and see them, I say yes and then hear
nothing back and it's been like this since October.
I've no place to work from so outcalls are only option,
and every time a lady advertises an apartment near me I ask them and
no bloody answer. What is it with people that
they won't even reply to you? They have a flat/ room, you
are interested but they ignore your inquiry.
Bizarre. Starting to think it's time to quit. This business
will never be what it once was.

If you drive I have a good idea for this... on dayuse dot com you can reserve the room for free and you do not get charged until you turn up. So you can book the room, get ready at home, go sit in a nearby car park by hotel, and wait to see what the response is like. If you get, what seems like a genuine booking, go check in!
If you don?t drive, I guess you could still kind of do this buy getting train and sitting in a cafe or something. I know you?d still be paying out for train but at least the hotel is optional

A very quiet week apart from Monday. Started on Sunday with just one half hour and been the same today. Monday had 4 then Tuesday and Weds had 2 (one half and one hour). Don't really like working into the evening but will give it another hour or so before calling it a day!

Well there goes my 'January is dead' theory. I've not had my number up on AW at all yet, had regs all last week and all this week. May it continue! xxx Hope it picks up for those of you quiet.

Yes, on Thursday and Friday I was the same. Phone still rang! Had 3 hour outcall yesterday though, so thought I would take the rest of the day off to recover. Am only low volume though   :)

I've just arrived in Heathrow and managed to do an hour and a half hour & the phone was busy but now it's died as its teatime

I was in London for 3 days this week and that's been fairly busy - I thought it was going to be  quiet but it was busy although the phone wasn't crazily busy and it went dead at night

I had a shit tour in Chelsea earlier this week but that was partly my own fault too.

I won't bother booking any incall locations until next pay day and will just put myself as available for outcalls every day. if nothing happens that's okay have a 5- day booking with my favorite next week so target met and more.

Yes I think Chelsea is a bit hit and miss , I have done incredibly well but equally as poor , I seem to be ATM better off in my regular areas , v busy last week , turning down bookings so had planned London next week but seeing as I can't find an apartment I may well go back to my regular haunt   ??? Cash needed lol at least that's reliable .

Nice when you have the option of finishing early. I managed to finish at a good time today but thats only because one of my lovely regulars saved me with a 2 hour booking. It was very painful trying to get work today!  :FF

Glad it's working for you great. I was showing my number last 2 days and all I got was idiots trying dirty convo with me - would you do this, would you do that, where you based, what's your postcode and no calls/texts resulted in actual bookings. Maybe my screening is too strict but is it too hard to propose meeting with a date and time with all requests?

Anyway switching off my number, got a few bookings this week. It's not busy but steady and can't be bothered with idiots. They affecting my work and mental health.

I often find it's like this - all or nothing! Very frustrating though, why can't it just be steady?

However saying that after having 3 days off I was back from Wednesday and had a good few days with 5 appts Weds, 2 yesterday and 3 today (including 1.5hr with a regular).

Hope things pick up for you so you can enjoy your month off (very jealous lol) x

Hi something unusual happened to me yesterday..
I'm usually busy, either with back to back bookings or ticking over nicely but yesterday I didn't take not one call or text! In the two years iv been doing this, this has never happened. My phone has always been a bit like a little  hot potato with calls ect on a daily basis.
But yesterday, nothing, nothing at all. The only thing rolling around on my massage couch was tumble weeds..
Worried it could be my phone signal, no as still had texts ect from family. Checked if my advert was still showing-yep.
Checked if I'd had a bad review on another forum-nope
Does anyone else have any ideas as to whats happening for it to go this quiet? It's like the ground has opened and swallowed all the clients up
I havnt had any calls today either which isn't unusual as weekends are generally quiter for me anyway but weekdays always busy.
The only things I can think of is that I'm either losing my touch or iv wanked off most of the guys in my county (it's a very large county) and they've got bored of me!
Does anyone else have the same? I'm getting a bit worried now  :'(
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Justine on 20 January 2018, 01:20:29 pm
Do not let it worry you! I had been working a very long time before my first day of no calls came and it shocked me so much! Like you I imagined all kinds of reasons but none were true. It was pure chance that no one who had previously booked me or was thinking of contacting me, decided to contact me that day.

I have had a few days since then with no or barely any calls/enquiries but it washes over me now without a thought.   Prove it by coming back here in a day or two with a sigh of relief I am busy again and will not get down over a quiet phone ever again  :)

Post by: sherbet_dab on 20 January 2018, 01:41:21 pm
Things have gone quiet for me too this past week or so, but I think people who got paid early before Xmas are now not that flush in January, so I expect things to pick up again at the end of the month.
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: English Green on 20 January 2018, 01:56:32 pm
There will always be quiet periods but overall this month getting close to end of Jan can be worse. When you are busy for quite a while you get used to it then have a shit week and it shocks you. This industry is a roller coaster.
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Smurfet on 20 January 2018, 02:08:22 pm
Thankyou ladies, hopefully it will pick up and yes it has come as a bit of a shock! I'm a bit of a born worrier and my mind went into panic mode thinking the worst. I don't think it helps that I'm the main earner supporting my family and I havnt got anyone who I can fall back on
Il hopefully be able to update if things start picking up again :)

Do you get most of your work from AW? Have you checked your profile to be sure your number is showing?

I webcam and withdraw credits periodically and this sometimes leaves me without enough credit to pay for "display number" which charges at midnight.

Hi I'm not on A/W just an advert on gumtree,  I had thought about registering on there before but had always been busy enough through that one ad I have.
Maybe it's time I did have a look at signing up on A/W as it may branch out to people further afield rather than just the city I live in. The only thing that puts me off a bit is when I had a look on the website before it looks a bit hectic and time consuming to set up a profile. How did you find it when you first signed up on there?

Tell me about it Smurfet that's why I don't bother and when I started girls didn't use aw anyway.  So much competition.  You have to keep updating your ad, too may rules and yes I could survive on GT and other sites when I get started again after health issues

I advertise on Aw, backpage, My Local Escorts and if I'm touring the south I use Friday Ad. 80% of my work comes from AW. Yeah it can be a bit time consuming to set up but the volume of work is huge.

If you're not doing full service though I guess it might not be worth the cost of advertising as most people on there want sex or at least OWO.

Those thoughts had crossed my mind as well as I think if I joined a/w all my clients would expect sex ect where as at the moment I only go further with just a few of my regulars

If you're in Kent or Sussex I'd definitely give Friday Ad a go, lots of older clients on there wanting massage and a happy ending.

Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: VoluptuousCurves on 21 January 2018, 05:15:36 pm
There was a Southampton edition of the printed paper so it may well work. I would give it a go - it's only ?30 for a one-month advert so even one booking will put you in profit.

If you google "Southampton escorts" Friday Ad is the 3rd listing.

When I lived and worked in Brighton I used it all the time and the clients were invariably white, over 50, polite and respectful.

I reckon February is quiet because it's only the second payment after Xmas and most businesses are the same in January, February.

I've always found March to be quiet cos of end of tax year etc. I've been busy in January and always have been  :)

Last week was one of my busiest of the year.

This week is always one of my worst of the year so I don't tour until payday.

I have always found February steady and more profitable if I keep my tour costs to a minimum. March last year was the busiest month of the year.

I just enjoy the rest this week and take any appointments at home that come my way.

My sauna boss said that, for them, February and November are the 2 quietest times of the year.  The lead up to Xmas used to be brilliant but the past couple of years have been crap, it's after Xmas that's been better.

Was really dead for me in London this week. I am normally busy, but this week has been really quiet. I did 3 short bookings all week  :o this doesn't happen to me normally. Though,I used all the free time to get my hair and nails done, do some catching up with friends, and sent off the dreaded tax return  ::)

omg yes!!! this is me too. before doing escorting full time I used to go to the gym twice a day. I had a great routine but for sure I just cannot do my second workout in the afternoon. As get messed around too much. I like to plan my day and know what I am doing. Made peace with the fact I can no longer do my weights workout but for sure still do my HITT fasted cardio session in the morning. Need to for the sake of my mental health lol. Hope you have a better day today xxx

thank you! ahah i am very hard working to the gym, but twice a day...i should eat a ton of food! :) anyway i had another booking planned so i didn t take it last minute...i was just opening the door to go to the gym and he was a regular! yes, i was "free" but not really my workout is "my time" so i was booked with myself! He knows that should give me notice at least on the evening before for an early booking. Yes, i miss money for a booking, but i need to respect my planning as well! if not you do not nothing...
clients adapt their time to mine, not mine to them! i am flexible but just if they give notice, so i am work my schedule around meetings.
ahah i do not skip my workout for them! i am gym addict but at least is a good addiction! i do weight not too much cardio btw! but hiit is very good for stamina also!

Things ticked by in the end for me this week, today I took four calls all wanting to book in in less than an hour under my advertised finishing time! I finish at 6pm, why phone at 5.15 to try and book in for an hour long massage... Grrr why do they do that!  :(

They're looking for a reason to call without having to actually turn up. I observe this weird phenomenon every time I put on my profile something like 'Sunday last day in London', and I get a flurry of calls asking to book me for Monday. It's a weird form of time wasting    ::)   And other guys just don't read, or it's a strange form of boundary pushing, trying to make you change your plans for them. If you do, they cancel, in a form of controlling and manipulative behaviour. Very odd, but observed over years....

Also, it's the time slot. Lots of guys get off work between 5 and 6, so if you shut the shop at 6, you're not able to see them just when they're coming free in that gap between leaving work at 5 and having to be home for dinner at 7. For lots of men, it's their one opportunity of the week to get laid.

I'm in Edinburgh and winter definitely affects business here too, and especially when it rains; not getting cold and wet is obviously more important, to certain clients, than being sexually relieved  :o :o from us wonderful working girls! The weather and important football/rugby/snooker/tennis games are the only 2 things that come before these guys' need for a sloppy blow job  :D :D and its slightly unbelievable imo 'coz whilst it may be freezing and wet at times then it's not like the bookings take place outside ffs. Men say we're complicated but it's bloody them who are enigmas!! ??? ???


It's definitely been an up and down winter regarding bookings and I personally cannot wait until March as business picks right up, it starts getting darker later, and at the end of March the clocks go forward.  I especially can't wait until summer & the birds tweeting in the morning puts me in a good mood all day, and if I'm happy then my clients get the best of me, and the best blow jobs!!! :D :D :D Hahaha xx

I know this time of year isn?t great so I am thankful for the 4 I had today

All my bookings for this week's target are in the diary pre-booked so any same day or short notice ones on top will be a bonus.

It isn't always like this though, some weeks barely any pre-booked and just day by day surprises (or not as the case may be)  ::)

awww dont feel too bad. It is nice to have a break now and again so your well rested to take on and actually enjoy work again. omg sadly, even if I eat a tiny bit over my calorie allowlance (while at rest which is around 1300cals, not much but im only 5'3  :'( ) then I do gain weight.

Always had issue with my weight so maybe its mind over matter. Used to be overweight and when I start to eat more comfort style foods without exercise, I worry way too much that im gaining. As soon as the bandage comes off (in about a week) I can start light exercise again, so surely cant do too much damage right? trying not to worry. Rest is always good.

Have a great day  :-*

Roll on March. In all my time in this job, I have never seen business levels to be this slow. I am normally booked out well in advance but this week I only JUST hit my target. I have taken 60% of what I normally take in a week. It's very alarming.

I can easy put on 7 pounds in a week if I don't move ! Lol I go from an 8 to a small 12 in ten days , forever updating pics it's mainly water weight but it really effects work , not in calls etc just in I don't want anyone going for 'trades description ' lol

I always say I'm sporting some extra Lbs if it's the case then they expect larger rather than smaller lol

Bit slow for me this week. Hopeful get busier. Couldn't work Thursday until today because of a bad cold.

I don't mind when it is slow because I count it a blessing. As I am close to moving on to the next phase of departing escorting. Plus I get a lot more time free, to manifest my desires without them cramping my style. :)

We can see slowness with clients as a positive or negative.

What is not to be loved when clients don't touch us.

The last 3 days have been great but today my phone can't even raise a TW text.

I've had a call from a guy asking if I am Wicks. 'I'm a prostitute, darling.'  :)

I'm hanging on until 8pm and then I'm heading home as I'm on the road again on Sunday. If I leave just now, guaranteed I will miss a genuine booking!

A month of university asignments and civvy work and boy I'm exhausted.. A good reminder of why I could never work for anyone full time. I will never complain again when I'm sat in fancy hotel relaxing and waiting for the phone to ring (better than long shifts and being on your feet all day). Reading some posts looks like Jan has been dry so I guess I've not missed much?

After a veeeery busy January my phones have gone dead. DE-AD.I'm not sure if it's: a) the wall street crash and the plummeting of the markets a few days ago b) February c) people getting their christmas credit card statements etc... etc....

My business has died now. Rest in peace my business.

In the Sauna February hasn't been that bad at all, AW is far quieter, but then we're very short staffed at the minute and so this is probably why I've made ?840 since Friday!! :)  I'm working a 12 hour shift tomorrow and a 6 hour shift Friday so my weeks earnings are gonna be above ?1k!! I hope we remain short staffed!!

I find if I've got a pre book later in the day my energy levels stay up as I'm expecting to work but on days when I have nothing if I get no last minute bookings by about 2pm I've lost the will to work and just get mardy and moody. It also depends on the time of the month as to how I react when it's quiet. I try to practice mindfulness which helps and always reminding myself that we have quiet times and busy times and it will pass. It's not so bad lately as I have a little put aside now to reassure me when it's quiet.

Keep hope ladies - it will pick up again, you are all fabulous and deserve a good, well paid, fuck!

That's me done for the week and just like last week have made my target and some!  If I feel like saying yes to anything tomorrow it will be a bonus as I will leave my phone on, but just as happy to have a client free day. 

Feb ticking over fine so far at this mid month mark, half term week has made no difference to my bookings at all.

It's been a funny couple of months eh ladies?

I really hope March brings a new dynamic because for me, it's been 2 long months. I have some wonderful regs and have met a number of new clients, but I have also had a monumental amount of no shows and cancellations, all from new clients. There seems to be a trend of this in my city at the moment. So much so that a lot of girls I know are taking a break and tourers are blacklisting the city.

I have to say that my weekly earnings have dropped by 40 - 50%. I am just about making the money that I need but it's getting to be quite tedious really not knowing if I am going to hit my target or not. The cancellations are getting me down and on some days I just fuck off home because I am so bored.

Anyone else in my boat?

Same as you sadly. Been in this business a lot of years and year on year seems to get harder/quieter, come to the conclusion what will be will be, pointless worrying so if it?s good just save and thank your lucky stars for good weeks. We all try to find reasons ie school holidays//brexit/ the way the wind blows lol, maybe it makes us feel better to find a reason (human nature I guess) there is never no rhyme nor reason (god knows I?ve tried to suss it). Point is we all get quiet times/busy times, and everything passes, just enjoy life and cut your cloth according to as life is what we make it and you know what we need to remember ?life could be a whole lot worse?

Post by: English Green on 17 February 2018, 12:34:58 pm
Yes people always use excuses why it is dead or very quiet the true fact is loads of sex workers offering sex huge amount and only so many clients to go around and majority of clients have to save for this or wait for pay day. But Feb has usually always been shit too be fair and i do find half term and summer hols can be up and down too.

If someone continues to be dead then a change of area touring would be recommended or maybe there profile does not look enticing enough.

I wonder how many ladies work only with AW? Perhaps this is for another thread. Expanding advertising options will help with finding new customers. It will always be up and down, I'm sure not many ladies have 3 clients each and every day or the amount the want to have on a regular basis. If only! But there are things that can be done to help even though you have to accept there will be busy times & quiet times.

I wonder if there is a thread on how many of us only use AW and how many use additional advertising? Perhaps I'm just being nosy!  ;D

I solely use aw (well mostly, I'm also on cam which sends me the odd one). I've noticed with aw the last couple of year especially it no longer just pop an ad up and they come. In SOME areas like mine it is impossible to have a decent amount without paying for available today, local featuring, constantly updating private galleries etc. It is undoubtably becoming a more intense site to market on and as a result I am slower than I was.
I'm slow at  the moment but I think I am to blame as I'm not updating much or rembering when to buy featuring etc. I'm debating new sites as with not being able to display my availability like I used to for fear of being deactivated I'm losing buisness and struggling being irregular part time hours.

I?ve been working from home since the beginning on 2018.
I started off with a very laid back attitude towards work.  Didn?t dedicate work days, and just saw clients as and when suited me. 

Three weeks ago, I changed to having dedicated work days at the beginning of the week. Then once I have hit a certain figure, I relax and take bookings around my own schedule.  My takings over the last three weeks have been pretty consistent and I?ve managed to turnover a third more income per week than I was when I first started.  Hoping this will continue, as I?m getting the perfect amount of business (for me).


I rely heavily on Adultwork.  I have used vivastreet in the past, but in the area I work I don?t find it very useful.  Occasionally I will boost my advert on Backpage with the ?1 boost.  I do receive the odd backpage client, but could never rely on Backpage alone.

I am finding this February much, much busier than last year but I think it's down to my choice of destinations as opposed to anything else.

I have got 3 weeks out of the year where I will not tour as year on year they are dead for me. I find that utterly bizarre.

I've also found that one area where I used to be very busy is now dead for me as I overworked it. I now limit my tours to a place to a maximum of 5 times a year.

Gypsy, february is traditionally the worst month of the year in the industry. At least for me and my friends. Worse (or same) as july. Don't worry it's not you definately. just wait for the kids to get back to school and then it picks up.  it's not only the sex industry that gets affected, waiters/waitresses/baristas and sales are all complaining about the same thing. I'm in london by the way.

Last year I didn't have a bad month at all. My only dire month was August 2016 where I did 7 bookings the whole month. This month I have done 5 so far  :-\

I normally never work from mid jan - mid Feb starting back after the half term and always go on holiday
But because my stupid dog hurt his paw I had to go on holiday later than planed and worked through January and early Feb and was surprised at how busy it was so I will probably do the same next year
Friends have been working in Feb and have been mega busy so I guess it depends on where you are in the country

Maybe try a forum like massageprofessionals dot com for advice? I don't know what the problem is with your hand(s), and am certainly not qualified or experienced enough to comment much. I do know that the saddle joint of the thumb is most vulnerable in massage therapists, so maybe use a knuckling technique instead of applying pressure with your thumbs, and to apply pressure with long strokes use your underarm. Localised pressure with your elbow maybe?

I don't want to stray off topic too much (slow at the minute....), but you're more likely to find useful stuff at forums for practitioners of complementary medicine.

Also, I see there is heaps of advice on self care for massage therapists on youtube.

You're probably using your hand the wrong way, bending your wrists while pressing or have a bad body posture when massaging. Wrong position of your neck can compress nerves that come out of your cervical area and give you all sorts of hands issues. Before the problem gets worse or turns into an RSI (Repeated stress inury) I would make a booking with a good local physio and get it treated. Plus physios work with their hands too and are very good at taking care of these issues.

The same here December was great then from January it has been steady here or there. The stress wasn't worth it in the end so decided to make plans about backing away from full time. So far so good the stress of them is diminishing.

If ever you want to talk you can pm I would be happy to help.

Life does get better, I found that by removing all the things that were making me unhappy. I was happy again.

Being more exclusive to having availability will help.

I was supposed to have a booking 8.30am today but after I crawled out of the bed got a text from the client asking to do it later.
I texted that I couldn't do it later and he hasn't even replied.

Do you know the feeling when you're on your way, on the tube and you know that you're going to be late, so late. And then you feel defeated and relaxed at the same time, there is nothing you can do and you kind of accept the situation?
This is how I feel about the bills this month  ;)

The trouble is that the media are making such a performance about a bit of winter weather that it's putting people off planning anything that involves going out. It hasn't even started yet and to listen to the radio you'd think it was the next fucking Ice Age.

Where I live a lot of punters travel in from surrounding towns and villages and if they think they're likely to get stuck then they won't book, even if it's no more than bloody cold with a bit of snow (in other words, completely unremarkable considering it's February) and it just bollockses it up for everybody. When I was little we routinely used to have to dig ourselves out of the bloody house through the snow to be able to go out and everybody just got on with it; God knows how the gutter press think people manage in places like Finland.

I've had to put Spotify instead on because even the sensible radio stations are giving me the rage :D

unfortauntely pre bookings are all saying 'with the weather forecast might be best to cancel' and this is for outcalls! I assume what they really mean is, they probably won't be travelling to London because the daily mail hysteria is it's going to be MINUS 10 degrees with snow for the whole of March, ahh thanks a lot!

Didn't wanna get there and then not have enough bookings to make it worth my while being away from home then also the worry about traveling back. I don't even work from my own apartment when it snows as worry about myself and the clients safety when travelling . So a dead week for me now ...carnt even make other plans doing something else if snow is just gonna get in the way . Watch it be a little snow fall then back to normal ,typical lol xx

It hasn't even started yet and to listen to the radio you'd think it was the next fucking Ice Age.

When I left my house yesterday morning it had just stared to lightly snow. 20 mins later all the train lines in London had severe delays according to the TFL website, yet trains were still passing by. It?s quite astounding really. I feel there is a conspiracy afoot. Or it?s just about selling news  ::)

Yesterday I put my rates up then I ended up taking 3 bookings and had to turn other callers down! I also took two advance bookings but we'll see if they confirm or not as it's snowing quite heavy now..

The phone is dead today. Two people making bookings. One didn?t bother confirming and the other after getting the postcode said it?s too far. If I was booking a lady I would make sure I knew what part of London she was in!
Hoping it picks up soon!!!!

Thanks, barely slept a wink for some reason, my face has broken out  >:( the electrician arrived at  8, was meant to be for an hour finally he goes after 3 hours  ::)

Oh and I have a needy  regular due. Nearly cancelled him as I'm finding  just the thought of him irritating!

I think the weather is very dependent on where you are. I'm in East Mids and it's snowed a fair bit today but it's been on and off and hasn't affected travel unless you're out in the sticks. I've done okay today.

I cancelled my tour up North east Hun. Was suppose to be there all week but was to worried about getting there freezing my boobs off (as it's a new venue so who knows what heating situation is like !)for nothing ,worring about family back home struggling if it snowed and then the worry of travelling back just put me right off ..not to mention being away from my lil pooch as it was a no dog policy.Rearranged for end of month ,hopefully no weather warnings then !

Had a previous client book for tomorrow at my usual venue  ...he turned up today !! He got his days
Mixed up  :FF had to turn him away as I was busy with other things. Worse part was he didn't recognise  me at first ...it was a no make ,no extention ,no sexy little outfit day hehehe. I looked like a grumpy mess.I was taken aback with him at my door! he didn't say he wanted to rebook , oppsie ! X

Have resigned myself to making no money over the next few days due to the snow. I would have cancelled some of the days in the apartment but I?m here so that?s that. It?s got a nice big smart telly and loads of ?Call the midwife? episodes on Netflix along with Cardboard Gangsters and no doubt will find more. The shop next door open and have spent money I don?t have on wine and chocolates.

I thought about just keeping the phones on and that I would maybe get some sensible enquiries for future days but no-I?m getting guys sending the normal stupid texts lol. 😂 No way am I replying today when not being paid.

Have set my auto reply to state that I am having a text free day but that they are welcome to call.

Is anybody else trapped at work today? My attempt to drive home ended up in me being trapped on a motorway for five hours.

Yep, that red alert warning is living up to its name. I can't see out of my windows because the snow is so thick and I can't open my door cos I know the snow will fall in if I do 😖

Everyone in our area is in the same boat so best just to accept it and not try get home as the traffic jams are so bad. There is a back log for hours and hours. Enjoy playing catch up in the heat of your room.

I had one last night asking if I'd do an outcall to him out in the frozen wastelands of Filey (about nine miles away, I think).

I don't do home visits anyway and told him this, but when I pointed out that he could just book an incall if it 'wasn't that far' as he said, he said there was 'no way he going to turn out on these roads'. Obviously I can just fly there and back with my prossiewings :D.

I know what you mean but watching tele news today it really is a nightmare for a great many people. Folk stuck in cars on the motorways for hours and I doubt they were all prepared with hot drinks and blankets etc.

My third cancellation this week due to the road conditions and I am also resigned to a non profit week.  Not the end of the world.

At least I have a warm  home and enough food etc etc, I was out in town on Tuesday and overheard street wardens offering two homeless people temporary accommodation from the local council. Sorry off topic but I just do not moan because of a few missed bookings when others are really suffering.

Awww that is very true Justine. Very well said. Thats why I have given up on this week earning wise and I am very lucky I have the luxury to choose to work later than planned and as you said, a lot to be grateful for and having the most basic things in life.

Vulnerable people have been and are getting royally fucked over three hundred and sixty five days of the year and as it stands they'll continue to be, not just because it's been snowing for a couple of days. But that's a matter for another forum, so we can move on now :).

I have somebody booked in for Saturday afternoon that I'm fully expecting to cancel since they're driving from somewhere further north, but I've made my money for the week so I'm not going to cry about it. It took me half as long again to walk to my flat this morning (but I think that was more to do with the amount of layers I had on) and now I've done my bit for the day I'm bogging off home to make a crumble :D.

Thats how I feel too. Especially having time off so makes me more keen to avoid timewasting and maybe over the top cancellations. I keep looking outside my window and its not too bad. Just lightly snowing on and off but of course might be different elsewhere and never know how far clients come to travel. Had a cancellation tomorrow, not too bothered but a bit gutted as was an overnight and for me those meets are like gold dust! haha

He was lucky to get there. All transport across the central belt of Scotland was/is off as snow is approx 15/18" thick with no chance of giving up.

We are on red alert and people are being warned not to try going out and definitely not in motors.

My late afternoon client today had no excuse for not driving in this weather as he only had a 5minute walk to get to me.  I have scraped my target for the week but didn't expect to do even that.

Off to bake a pie now. Yum.

It seems like many are staying inside good on them. Only two days left until the landlord collects the keys. I'm to busy going between my new home and here. Plus I am prepared to finish for a few days organising.

Loving not feeling like my life depends on clients. Xx

I feature myself for escorting every weekend and costs me a bomb but worth it when i do tour. Cancelled this weekend as dont see the point and not willing to make a loss.

Such a pain. Hope it clears up soon!!


I?ve never used the featured escort option before and I?ve a feeling it?s gonna be a waste but we never know!!

I?ve also paid to be featured at start of April (a lovely ex colleague of mine gave me 101.50 credits for ?20) so I know that won?t be snowy, apparently in Edinburgh there?s 0% chance of snow on Monday so here?s hoping it stops by then.


I?m available today and so far nada!!

I had 1 hour today and 3 cancellations. Basically guys got stuck on motorway and couldn't get to me on time. I have checked traffic and there was another accident. Then I had another 2 outcall requests but had to turn them down. My car park is one big ice skating place and I am not going to risk it.
Would be really busy day today but unfortunately weather is really bad and I don't blame guys staying home.

It can't hurt if you haven't tried it before - loads of punters will see your page who might not have before and they can put it on a hot list so even if the day itself is a mess, it's bound to get you some new business once the weather's calmed down :).

Plus if they're stuck inside you might shift enough PG sales to cover most or even all of it so you might not be down money wise at all :D.

Yeah, completely understand. Thats why not taking any bookings from newbies and very limited bookings from regulars this week. Can understand as some are genuine and its amazing how bad the weather can make things so bad travel wise but I really feel sorry for ladies who may have spent a lot for touring/hotels or in desperate need of cash and are just faced with cancellations all week!

Really hope things get better soon for everyone xxx

My week was ok in the end,  I am still taking things slow after being off sick a long while.

I had a cancellation for tonight but it wasn't confirmed but had a replacement this afternoon who could only make it to see me because he had to cancel his travel plans due to the weather!

Yesterday I had a half hour and today I have a sore throat, a sore fanny (maybe a touch of thrush) and my period.

Methinks it's going to be dead anyway but just as well really!!

Not complaining, 6 pm now, and I'm turning off the phone to go to yoga, then cook dinner. Must go back on the Atkins - got really chunky over the winter.

NW London has been terribly quiet today and I?m not sure why. Seriously thinking about not working Saturdays but when I plan a Saturday off I always seem to get an advance booking (sods law) so end up working the whole day.
I had two bookings today both regulars but the phone wasn?t ringing as consistent as usual.
Reassuring I wasn?t the only NW London girl having a quiet day.
Let?s hope tomorrow is better for us

I had 3 bookings yesterday. Yay.

Today the only visitor I had was a mouse. After I was screaming and chasing it with my cat, my huge mirror fell on the mouse and broke. The mouse was laying down with its tiny limbs upwards, moved the legs few times and then just stopped moving. God. What a horror. I took it on a dustpan and left poor thing in front of the house.
In the meantime I received a text 'U suck cock'. Saved the number as 'Rude Twat March18'. That's it for today.
I should have started the day with my meditation.

Poor mouse!!!
Yes, quiet - apparently more snow is forecast this weekend!
When Spring finally arrives we will all be busy
One booking for tomorrow.

Have been convinced it's been Monday all day as I had to go support a friend Sunday till Yesterday - has totally thrown me out! Had a 15 min this morning and just had a half hour (so not bad) when I said 'it's quiet for a Monday' and he pointed out its Wednesday  :FF ;D :FF

I hate when I'm away as you can bet they all want to see you when you're not available then nothing when you are! But with the 2 today - a 2 hour reg tomorrow, 1hr reg on Friday and 2hr reg Saturday I'm good to go. God - hope I didn't just jinx myself writing that  ;D

May your phone never stop ringing and your vag never be too dry (lube). Happy humpday sexy peeps xxx

Well it's been dead for me for two weeks.
I don't know what's going on but I'm struggling
to even put food on table now. I'm starting to
think industry is dead for mature women like me.
They want the young ones who show their faces on

 I am finding it quiet, but to be fair I have just restarted. I'm getting the usual timewasters and silly requests.
I've tried advertising in as many places as I can think of and tried posting locations for next week.
This week I have had four timewasters and one that looks hopeful for next week.Lol

Thing is, it makes it difficult to book hotels in advance as free cancellation is up to a certain point and a no show means card is charged. But booking a hotel on the off chance of a client  booking seems silly. Unless, I get some outcalls. But I sometimes get timewasters with outcalls as well.

Leaving booking a hotel until a confirmed booking risks unavailability. Even then someone might not show up lol. But, on the plus side if it is the day time, there might be day rooms available somewhere.

Sorry for sounding so negative and depressing, but that's the reality for me at the moment. Maybe I need to chnage my Incall  location,; somewhere where they have more hotels and no keycards lol

I've also noticed that a lot of punters seem unwilling to pays certain rates. I don't tend to do reverse booking bids, but I had a look and saw some ridiculous punter expecations :FF lol.

I think it's the opposite , I'm v mature and get bookings because of it , I don't take anyone under 35 and the majority of calls I get are 40 year olds , I've been really busy today ( but probably because I've been off and got another couple to go , haven't even had a cup of coffee since 8 am  ::) lol xxx

I have put some recent photos on which helps things along.  Also I write a blog twice a month and try to get formal AW feedbacks up to twice a month.  A lot of clients don't follow the feedback route however as they prefer not to leave a trail.

AW has gone a bit quieter since Brexit talks began last summer in this part of the country which is why I am glad I advertise elsewhere as it pays dividends.

No no no! While I do not know your circumstances I have to say clearly that being mature, whether that is 40,50 or even more, does not mean you are not wanted in this work. I have never shown my face and am well into my fifties and am doing fine, both long term regulars and new clients each week. 

When you say dead for two weeks do you mean no clients at all or not enough to sustain you?  No idea how you advertise or where, but please do not give up just yet.

Today I woke up late and with a headache and had one booking straight away. A lovely booking with a hot guy, so nice start of the day :) Now it's time to do a meditation, have a coffee and soldier on with marketing!
Hope you're in good spirit xx

I?ve been thinking the same. Since the last week of feb up until now I?ve just about put food on the table myself after paying my bills. It?s been absolutely horrendous. I?ve had three calls and it?s just been time wasters. I am meant to be traveling to my incall flat but I just feel like there is no point at all.

I class 6/7 bookings or more busy , but I usually pay a lot for accomodation to justify my fee , 1-2  I class as very poor but I work from apartments and not my home so I have to cover costs and transport etc :)

Touring is much more expensive, I work from my own place and don?t accept any bookings under 1 hour my usual booking is 90 mins so ?1000 to ??1500 a week I think is a good income especially when my outgoings are not as expensive and I don?t have the travel hassle x

Today must be Twat Tuesday! No genuine callers, just timewasters = No bookings.

Yesterday was good having 4 bookings but typically a bad day always follows.

I work from home and class 1 or less a day as bad
2 or 3 OK/good especially if all are hours or more
4 good/busy
5 or more very good/very busy - doesn't happen very often!

Yes! However I clearly state in my ad's that I only take bookings after 6pm from client's I've already seen or from those who book on AW as long as they book by 5pm and tbh I'm more than ready to throw in the towel by 5pm - especially if it's been quiet! Is very annoying though as I think why couldn't they have called earlier in the day when I was ready and waiting!

I will be working over Easter. I have no idea what it will be like. Last April I was off most of the month with holiday and illness so can't use that to get an idea! However Easter is next weekend and not this coming one

I also find Saturdays are normally full of timewasters and also agree with you that this week at least, Tuesday and Thursday are dead! Had none on Tuesday and only an hour this morning!

There is work - thank Heavens - but not the volume I wish I had.
My marketing efforts start to pay off, even if little.

In the meantime, I'm still doing painting and DIY around the flat and it feels like a never ending story.
I'm considering expanding my services with 'naked painter decorator'. Or a role play - 'there comes a handy woman...' (70s German porno style with a feminist twist)

Lucky you! I'm not even getting the time wasters today. I seem to have become completely invisible, in spite of being featured. I know how to get the phone ringing, though. I'll get dressed and go shopping. The phone will ring the minute I start enjoying myself and no longer feel like working.

One booking so far today for an hour but he was hard work!!!!

A few calls but one from a 22year old (only see over 30s) begging for services I don?t offer and to make an exception for him.

Another guy who I have a STRONG suspicion is a childhood friend and someone on my FB looking for a booking. I tried to deter him but I strongly suspect it?s him. Keeps pushing now for a later appointment.

Not a typical Friday. I was hoping it would pick up today

Still lots of enquiries but no one passed my screening.

Turned down aw member with a bad feedback saying he's got a small dick, stinks and is vile. Normally I don't care if guy got 1 bad feedback and plenty of nice ones but had a bad feeling when I spoke to him over the phone.

All it takes to get call: Hello my name is John and I would like to see you at 3 o'clock for half an hour. Is it hard or me being to harsh?

I had a guy today who was really poorly skilled in the bedroom department.  He looked practically asleep the whole time and lacked technique plus lacked experience.  Hard work and he never came.

He then started mentioning his wife checks his messages and knows his passwords.

I was pleased when the hour was up to be honest.  I gave him 1 hour 10 mins in fact.

Today picked up for me at least but I had three regulars and two new ones.  One of the newbies kept referring to ?reviews? on other sites.....and inferring what he would write as feedback for me ....FFS if you want to go down that road at least dont tell me... was a positive meet but I can?t stand when they refer to external sites in a meet ....if you are review inclined be discrete lol

Once my son leaves home and I can finally work as many hours as I feel like I will take the two weeks off at Easter to go away somewhere sunny and cheap.  I even find it worse than the month of February which can also be a crap time for work.

Phone pretty dead today, but did a 30 min and a 90 min, both regulars. I'm about to put dinner on. What's the betting the minute the whole flat smells of cabbage and broccoli the phone rings again, and I'll have to open the windows and try to flap the pong out with a bath towel?

Painfully inconsistent this month, a couple of good days but if it wasn't for repeats and and short bookings I dislike I would be in serious trouble. I'm barely making ends meet with a few thousand needed by the end of may, may I can work full time again so I'm going to be going off on tour to places I've done before the moment my exams are over, while a tour is risky these slow times are becoming all too regular this month, no shows, cancellations followed by someone that nicked my electric toothbrush to top it off. I can't wait out another dreadful weekend I've even used nearly a grand of my savings since Xmas (although I was off most of January)

No regulars calling today, but 2 new guys, both absolute stinkers, both swearing they had just come out of the shower. Like, how??

So, done a 30 mins and a 90 mins on minimal phone calls. The 90 min. guy brought a bottle of Lanson, which is stripping my stomach lining. Now trying to get the stench out of the bedroom.  ??? If I get one more I'll be happy, particularly since I have a regular prebooked for tomorrow. I'd be so screwed at the moment without my repeaters.

Oh fuck, that's the worst. You can deal with being quiet, or only getting TW's as long as it doesn't impact a genuine paying booking, I fucking hate that.

Just been for 2 nights in lovely Edinburgh, first time there. Was pleased with what I did although last one was a complete  :FF :FF :FF posted in Warnings & wasters.

If your typical market is guys in their late 20s to easily 40s (I.e. Have kids at home) then these 2 weeks are likely to be difficult.

My market tends to be late 40s upwards with the occasional "my mums best friend" role play outlier and is much less affected by the school year calendar.

I had the same. My conclusion was that lots of people finished on Thursday for the 4-day bank holiday, went on the lash, and then spent Friday nursing their hangovers.

By Saturday I was into "dads who are fed up with their kids already" and "lonely single guys" territory. It's been a great weekend for me.

 I am glad for all of you. Not sure though if anybody can enlighten me...
If you ask if I advertise, I don"t like to pay for all these sites that ask money...

Been back since just over 1 year. Although I have my website, mostly I get business from aw and mainly rb as I like these. I noticed that over the last 2 months, it's been practically dead.
Something I must be doing wrong....  :FF

Getting lots of stupid enquiries today.

I do however have a potential booking at 2:30pm for an hour so hoping he shows.

Had really busy easter - the best bank holiday weekend since last year so far.
Today having day off and hoping for busy weekend again. Wednesdays was always quiet with me. Need to pay my dentist for a crown. It will cost me fortune.

A lots of emails in the middle of night or early morning hours asking for outcalls. Idiots sending emails: are you free now, zero feedbacks asking for a filming or anal which i do not offer. Never had so many timewasters before. Where this idiots comming from?

I was VERY busy till the end of March. I believe it was the 26th when my phones died a sudden death. From one day to another they went from ringing of the hook to... nothing... nada...had to call myself and make sure they were working several times. Unfortunately I'm still on that mode (minus the odd day like yesterday when they come a lil bit alive and I'll get like 5 phone calls a day which is still shit.

The very few people I've seen were out of towners.

I believe it's going to be like this till mid April  :FF :FF

It's the Easter holidays, not half term. Half term is halfway through the term - in the case of the summer term which is about to start, it's the week of the 28th May to the 1st of June :).

Well after a busy week last week I am on tour today and it is DEAD.

My 1pm has not confirmed. He's got 10 minutes and then I'm cancelling my 1pm.

You know when you are just in a BAD mood? That's me today. Plus I had a lovely day yesterday with my guy and now I have my period so who needs clients!?

These one with a feedback are worst Tw's. They would send long emails and their life stories then they go to see someone else or just wank on webcam. Had email from guy with 600 feedbacks today - postcode collector. They are biggest timewasters.

I'm not the one to give advice on being busy as I'm not busy myself. I need twice as many clients that I have now.
Little by little I'm trying to improve all aspects of my business - service, marketing, the flat.

But sometimes it's just slow.

Which area of your business you could improve you think? And why don't you like the idea of paying for advertising?

Because I do only outcalls. So I assume that paying to advertise would be a waste of money, as most guys prefer incalls.
Been told in the past that if I offer incalls, business would improve. But it's a no no for me: too dangerous I find it
Unless when I travel and can offer hotel incalls

I'm at a complete bipolar opposite to 6 months ago. Am nicely booked with mainly regs and I don't really see new clients these days (which I like). Some weeks I get new clients but then they turn into regs. I only do 2-3 days a week but am weirdly booked out despite the Easter holidays. In previous years I just took it off.

Fingers crossed it stays the same for me!

Well I started in 2005 and it?s not as busy as it was then but it?s busier than AW that?s for sure, so many girls from AW are starting to flood in to the saunas because AW is that shite and reading this thread just confirms that thought.  I had too many requests for 15 min bookings and it?s crap because it?s shit money, I would have needed to have 10 guys for 15 mins just to make ?400 and that?s crap money for 10 guys, I also got sick of the time wasters, the no shows, the boundary pushers, the deluded ones that thought they pay once and then it?s free, and the money wasn?t being made to justify all the crap, there?s too many girls in Edinburgh that jumped on the AW band wagon and the biggest majority of them are Eastern European and that?s why I think a lot of sex workers up here can?t wait for Brexit so that they can?t keep coming here and taking business, prostitution is the only job where the comment ?foreigners are stealing our jobs? is actually true, even in the saunas the Romanian girls far out number the Scottish!

Fixed that for you. And yes you are being xenophobic, so given that we don't tolerate prejudice here then we'll let that be the last of it, please. They're not 'your' or 'our' jobs, they're just jobs and people are free to go and work wherever they want to - there's nothing stopping you doing likewise.

As for the monumental fuckup that is Brexit the current plan doesn't stop anybody going anywhere, and when punters have no money with which to punt because they need it all to cover their rocketing food prices and living costs we're all up shit creek.

I believe the holidays are over now in my area, but I remember someone saying last week that in certain areas they go on till the 16 of this month.

Maybe it's so quiet for me is because those who are returning to work this week are snowed under and those returning from holidays are tightening their belts etc.

Overall, I had a good two previous weeks, so I can't complain too much  :)

After a dreadful week last week I decided to really pull my socks up today and try harder not to assume most of the calls are timewasters which is what I?ve been doing.

Took a booking from a guy who had previously cancelled about six months ago and to be honest I shouldn?t have booked him in. I could see from the text history that we had spoken over the phone in the past so I was happy to book him in by text. He was coming across a bit arsey when I couldn?t do the time he wanted and then when I text the postcode and specified it was a GFE service being provided he started sending passive aggressive texts back asking why I felt the need to say that?!
I really wanted to cancel but I needed the cash.
He turns up with his nose in the air and runs to the loo....comes back gives me the cash but is really edgy and nervous. Start kissing and then he says he is going to leave as ?its Not the right place and he shouldn?t be doing this? ....
I do get walkouts but thankfully not for a while but it is bloody irritating when they do that especially when they are hardly oil paintings lol
He left and on the way out says ?you can keep the money? but I was never handing it back anyway after all we had started the service.
Thankfully I had three lovely bookings after which cheered me up so it?s picked up today but now my bloody period has started lol so I?m calling it a day for today

No incall at the moment, so relying on outcalls. Day job is pretty quiet atm, so I need extra income.

I?m just afraid of vivastreet and its chronic timewasters lol

It probably varies by area but I find VS to be the same mix of dickheads and great, normal bookings as AW, no difference. Plus it has brought in a fair bit of business I would have completely missed on just AW. I find many guys that use VS don't use AW at all.  :)

It works well most places apart from Leeds lol. I got one dude today asking me if I would f*ck his dog and two sending me pictures unsolicited saying it's them but reverse google image search brings up the pictures, clearly they've searched "fit gym selfies" in the image search to catfish lol. Vivastreet is okay for on the day bookings, I've had the odd outcall.

Quiet so far.
However Just had a bloke who has been calling for a few weeks. Spoke to him a while back noting him as ?yet to book? seemed okay on the phone etc. He text yesterday saying how he MUST see me today. Asked for my address so I responded saying I would be working today but postcodes are only provided once we actually confirm an appointment. Gave him a rough idea of my location as I?m fed up of people timewasting then saying ? oh you?re too far!? ......he then asked the price and usually I?m pretty patient and no probs about giving simple info but I had assumed he actually read that on the profile.
 
Nope turns out he didn?t even know my Aw profile! So clearly contacting loads of ladies.

So today he calls I don?t pick up but sends a text saying he is on his way over!
I?m like FFS I haven?t made a booking with you so why are you on your way. He then starts begging for a booking that he only wants to see me etc although he didn?t have a clue who I was yesterday.

Can?t believe the arrogance!

I?m not seeing him though I?m in a bit of a bitchy mood today lol. Praying some nice regulars call as I can?t be arsed with new clients today.

I have honestly never had so many time wasters call me asking for things I don?t offer within the last three days. Had a lovely half hour gent see me today and I have a prebooking at 5pm but that?s about it. It?s been quiet but still enough to keep on top of things.

Sorry about that MS - we've already spotted that anybody who has edited their username has been having to log in with the old one but it should all be working fine. And it's a small price for the notifications working again :D.

The other thing is the custom avatars - some have gone and some have stayed put. They should be fine to just reupload :).

Yes, I do!
This has happened to me so far today as well.  I have saved the guy as "Last Min Cancel Mr X".  I will allow him to re-book, but will drop him - at the last minute - in favour of someone else who may want the same appointment (should one such scenario arise).

I've had a very busy week with a 3hr booking this morning. Could have seen one more tonight, but turned him away cos I was just about to paint my garden fence. And last time he cancelled straight after he booked. I've seen him a couple of times before, but last time it just felt as though he'd forgotten he's already seen me cos it was back in 2016. And then when I reminded him of the address that's when he cancelled  :FF

urg really slow this week and i've just had a few weeks off, plus my wallet got nicked with all my cards and 300quid from the last client before the break so i'm desperado right now

2 ok meets on monday, the only guy that i still do half hours for, yesterday the 4 bookings i had were all cancelled due to train strike, took a last minute booking then cycled 45 mins to the other side of the city except when i called to say i was there the loser was just wanking down the phone, probably hiding behind a bush!
ugh!!
especially as i blew off some important 'real life' stuff to go see him; like getting a friend to go over an application i'm writing, and meeting girlsfriends to enjoy the sun

actualy getting paranoid now, had so many cancellations, non-confirmation and timewasters that i'm beginning to feel targeted

plus where i live prostitution is illegal so my advertising opportunities are really narrow

balls.

i had some communication..with a past client ahah that he promise to give me a gift to say sorry for many cancellations and want a meeting on the weekend, another one that sending lot of gift from amazon...and an advanced booking for next month...
i missed an incall from a guy that he doesn t brother to reply me back (so honestly show me how he is! anyway i try not to take everything personal as i did in the past) so quite emotional day! between guilty time, family conversations, ...
i treated myself just to boost my mood!
somedays they are very emotional! mentally tiring! even finally i didn t work! weekend should be better! so i hope so!

Monday was quite busy but today despite four callers the first booking it was a no show.  He sounded so genuine as well!  Hurrumph.  The later guy let's hope he makes it.  I rang back the other callers to say I was free after all but they haven't got back to me.  So looks like today will just be a measly £70.

Should be payday Friday am I right?

Last week I was ill so I only worked one day and April is ALWAYS abysmal with me I can safely say it is the worst time of year for me.  February was a good month this year surprisingly.  ANyway I am always ill in April so I tend to just ride it out feeling yeugh anyway.

I made £140 last week  :FF  but I’ve also cut my shifts down as I was doing 48 hours a week and that’s far too many hours to be stuck in a sauna and especially when you don’t get a proper lunch/tea break, one should be implemented but it won’t be.

Sorry I don't post on this thread much, it's good to rant but I'm not sure it's always helpful

Quiet day today but yesterday was insanely busy so I don't mind...one guy called at 12.45am asking if I could see him...as it's been quiet I agreed and said to come at 1.30. He proceeded to arrive half an hour early...ialways go downstairs in my building and get them I don't give my flat number out...when I let him in the front door he procedes to talk lousy about "leaving his wallet in the uber and he will call me next timr"....grrr. if he didn't fancy me or changed his mind or whatever then OK he was trying to leave in a nice way...it's just annoying because he was so indiscreet and I had to fix myself up sooo late.... :FF

Started a bit late today but have had a spell of timewasting gits bothering me.
One who rang but was completely vague and not specific as to what time he wanted etc. Then another who hadn’t bothered reading the profile and kept calling back asking loads of questions. He was insistent he wanted a booking and was to confirm at 5pm.....shortly before though he casually texts asking if I did outcalls....
Now I’m waiting for a regular who can be unreliable but I do have a confirmed booking at 7:30pm.
Looks like I will have to work late tonight.

it's so quiet, and when your phone finally rings, you're there ok this is the one. in the end they ask for a looot of things, (i think they wank on the phone )  and when you're telling them ok that's extra (bcz they don't bother to read your profile lol ) you hear the "ohh ok i was thinking is included in the price, leave it then"  :))))))

already finish for today..start early!

i had some pushing punter by email yesterday LOL ..just to help to sleep better!
poor guy that he does not like when i refused his booking!  :FF
email: i want an incall we do the following: cim, sex, filming, domination.
LOL very very emphatic! so cold! i hate that! even no thank you
fuc** him i know that i am demanding! worst for him, two words more and i was able to arrange it.
me i do not regret his money at all. i used an excuse as he had bad feedback from an old very old booking.
then he replied so i will create another account to meet you!

ahah for sure! not anymore filming as service  ;D ;D and not domination as well

It just takes a couple of good clients or two hours work to get us feeling on the up doesn't it.

I have a 90 mins booked today and also Friday so pleased this week.  Especially as I have been feeling rundown of late and barely worked for two weeks.  I was surviving on one day's pay a week for two whole weeks lol.

It was my first official day back today and I got one booking very quickly and another for later on potentially but now I need to give up for the day as my water has gone off!  :FF

Worst thing is it went off 10mins before my first client was due and it never dawned on me that the shower would have stopped too and now my poor client has had to leave showerless after a very enthusiastic booking. Not to mention I feel like a sticky mess  :-X

At least I got one in, I suppose. Lets try again tomorrow  ::)

Was off last week and back working from Sat. Saturday was OK, Sunday was saved by a 1 hour outcall in the evening (I'm mainly incall and had nothing all day), yesterday just 1 half hour and today nothing! I thought now the bank hol weekend is out the way I'd get people ringing! But no just a few idiots/timewasters  >:(

Day three of tour and its gone ok, just ok. Could've been better. Not sure if the lovely weather, the bank holiday changed things as I toured here for the 1st time a month ago and it was very good. Maybe being new was what helped. Got quite a few repeat and some new clients.

That said, I turned away a good few clients that i saw last time because I didn't want to see them again. (I'll do anything for money but I won't do that ;D)

Cant wait till I'm gone and then all the 'when are you back' texts start flooding in.  :FF

Get yourself a couple of days work in a sauna and because you’ll be new to the sauna then you should be busy for at least 2 - 4 weeks, either just do it temporarily to cover your bills or work there a little longer, just see how you feel and keep an eye on the cash you make.

In the last couple of weeks I think the credit crunch is really hitting business.  Lots of punters are asking for deals due to the credit crunch.  Are other ladies finding this? 

As I have diversified on to other sites, and the fall off from AW has been replaced by Punterlink and my new website. I still have more or less the same number of jobs, (about 8 -12 a week) but I am working much harder to get them.  A blip or a trend?

I haven't reduced my rates, have any other ladies and if so has it increased business?

I reduced mine yesterday to try and drum up some business. It so slow. Think it helped a bit. Interest picked up a little

I don't work weekends, but I did learn today that the Saturday morning spinning class is the one the men go to :D

May is a shocker here anyway, but I wasn't at all surprised to come home to only three missed calls and two of them from 'Thick and Rude/Blocked' ;D

I was expecting today to be busy with men trying to escape the royal wedding, but I've done one half hour :(

Cup final kicks off 5.15 today so I doubt I'll get any business after that... since it's Man Utd v Chelsea and I'm in Manchester!

Absolute disaster here, shoot next week I was supposed to spend this week earning extra to cover  the hole in my savings. Maintenance until the end of the month in my building with no notice, so incalls are a no go for me, I dont even have a front door today. Every single outcall has been a timewaster so far and the phone is absolutely dead for this week.  :FF :FF sods law, I could have worked more last week but didn't now the phone and incall are fudged.

Had a regular in this morning then some guy kept calling and calling ( spoke to him last week and have a gut feeling about him....quite pushy etc) then another enquiry but when I respond he is saying he wants the booking for sometime next week!!!!!!
It’s dragging today. I’m motivated and keep updating my profile etc to stay in the searches but the more it gets late I get lack of motivation.

It’s so quiet at the moment I’m not getting any emails or texts or anything. I keep worrying that there’s a bad review out there somewhere that’s making everyone avoid me it can’t be possible to be so quiet like this. Not even timewasters. I’ve moved my profile location to a different area just to see if it picks up at all. I don’t want to risk planning a tour incase it’s like this everywhere I can’t afford to lose the hotel costs if no work comes in :FF

Picked up a bit today but Sod’s law a regular tried to book when I already had a booking planned so I lost him.... as it’s been so quiet lately I have taken a booking from a bloke who is referred to as ‘smelly’ on true caller app.... sounds okay on the phone but after accepting the booking and confirming is asking for a ‘shower’ together and for me to wash him lol I’m not doing that and then on about outfit requests ( I don’t offer requests but always dress in sexy outfit and heels)..... i just hope the booking goes okay

Chilling now but strange week so far.... long absent regulars all of a sudden resurfacing which is good I guess unfortunately had to blow one out as someone booked the time they wanted.

i will invest this weekend as many punters they got more time to browser AW..and planning in advance as spend their money when they got the salary! ahah  ;D ;D in London is half term next week apparently! but i do not think that affect a lot numbers of booking..
of course some are going away with kids... still singles and divorced ones, older gentlemen...
anyway i m not so happy to arrange short notice so...
AT or not AT this is a dilemma!  ;D ;D

Had some old regulars who dropped off the face of the earth (mind you my availibility has been off and on since Jan)  turn up this week and one I had to turn down as someone had booked his preferred time. But today i tried to work the morning but nothing.
Ended up calling it a day around 1pm.... took number off profile midday now getting random messages about how desperate they are to book lol....take with a pinch of salt etc but it’s amazing when you take ur number off several hours later u get inundated.
Shame the ones who make such an effort to save ur number never call u when u actually need them lol

I’m hoping things pick up soon.

Yesterday would have been busy for me but I had no childcare.  I only have two days this week.

I feel like I am living on benefits at the moment with money v hard to come by!  Need new everyday bras badly and new everyday knickers.

Barely anybody looks at my gallery anymore I have also noticed.  I am always having to pay out of my earnings to use Available Today.

I think guys are tired of me in this area after nearly six years anyway I am starting in hotels mid June ....

Ive got a little one so know what its like relying on childcare.

Maybe renovate your profile? New pics?

Thanks Hotgalll that is inspiring.  I will just be booking 3 nights weekly but not staying nights of course.  I will therefore only have an afternoon and two full days.  It isn't worth driving an hour for just an 11 am checkout for the final mornings lol.

Yes I do hope I get more business.

To think I used to get 8 enquiries a day no problem with one site when I first started.  Then after 18 months every year gets harder and harder.

I do regular photos twice yearly and change my profile plus regular ratings and blogs.  So it isn't anything my end.

Perhaps the local guys are sick of old meat lol.  Even most of my regulars I barely hear from!

I can stay out until 6 pm as my boy is 13 now.  I am inventing another job as usual lol.

I also pretended I was busy to at least 3 guys who sounded very unsavoury.

This month I had more bookings than in any other month in my whole sex work career.
If only I was still on my escorting rate... But if I was on a massage therapist's rate or on a minimum wage, things would look very different, so I'm counting my blessings.
I spent ridiculous money on advertising, but it's a learning curve.
Some of my adverts were not that successful, so for example after deducting cost of one advert from 1 booking it got me, my hourly rate for this booking was £40. Still, I wouldn't have made this money at all if not for this advert. And maybe this client will bring repeated business.
After paying my rent, buying some work essentials I'm back to square one and wondering what shall I start saving for first - an important bill, an urgent bill or a massive important bill
In this passing month I improved in terms of asking for money at the beginning of the booking. I still struggle with counting the money. I got underpaid today, again.
I had some scary moments, idiots and numpties.
One session really stands out - a new client, who had an operation and erection problems afterwards. He left happy and more confident :) It was nice.

I've had a fair few twat texts today especially one who cancelled last min yest asking for tonight then when I didn't answer straight away got the ??? Text to follow.

When I count the money I usually say " I'm only checking it because sometimes it's over and sometimes I get a tip and don't realise or thank the person, plus if it's over or short we can both see "

If you go in another room and say it's short it could look like you're trying to pull a fast one .

I also blame the new slippy bugger ten pound notes and laugh because they get stuck together , it's an icebreaker and takes the emphasis off a it if you feel awkward :)
I'm tired and waiting for food delivery. Evening with some mind numbing movie.
Back to action tomorrow!

Thanks for the tip, Guiltypleasure!
Exactly, I counted the money when the client went to take a shower, it was £20 less, for the reason you mentioned I thought I'll just leave it as it is.
Your welcome I've done it myself lol the slippy notes ones good as it looks like your trying to help them , mind you I do it wit 20's as well just say the last person gave you one extra , so might be their lucky day or something .

They're used to it being counted anyway unless they're new that's when I joke if they look awkward x

compare to Italy, France, ...British do not follow soccer game as Italian, spanish, french, etc...
at least in my experience...many of my clients do not like it and prefer rugby!


Rugby is more watched by the middle class men and football is more working class! Posh boys versus Chav boys!! Lol

The World Cup begins on the evening of June 14th and gets going properly on Friday 15th with three matches a day at (mostly) 1pm, 4pm and 7pm until Sunday 24th. Saturday 16th has an extra game at 11am and the second kicks off at 2pm instead of 1pm.

From the 25th June until 3rd July (29th June excepted) the fixtures are at 3pm and 7pm, thinning out further once it gets from the last sixteen into the Quarter Finals, then the Semi Finals are at 7pm on the 10th and 11th of July, the Third Place Playoff is on Saturday 14th at 3pm and the Final on Sunday 15th at 4pm.

Alternatively, the BBC, SKY, ITV and most newspaper/sports press sites have comprehensive listings. I'm going off the When Saturday Comes wall chart on my fridge :D.

I have too - I was back from London on Thursday night and so knackered I thought of taking yesterday off, but I had another very busy day and since I don't plan to miss any of the above I'm trying to develop a bit of a work ethic for the next couple of weeks :).

Amy thankyou.
I will take my chances with June up until the 13th then just see what happens by only displaying number and not wasting credits on available today during that time.
It was a first trial working this Saturday as I was amazed to have seen 2 clients so far. It was always a no go due to time wasters day b4.
There seems to be no pattern to this for me other than first two weeks were always busier than the last.

I think it must be an area thing and there's no rhyme nor reason to the 'slow' or 'not slow'.

I've had the two busiest weeks of the year last week and this week.

Obviously touring helps. I found business dwindled when I had a work flat after 3 months.

If you're in a hotel then try to grab some extra hand towels from the trolley/housekeepers if you can! I was in London ten days or so ago when it was torrential with thunder and lightning and had punters turning up like drowned rats all day - it saves your big towels and helps keep your pillows and bed from getting all wet :)

I haven't had a booking for about two weeks now and I am in dire straights. I started listing on lots of sites last night and today but all I have had is a private number call, a 3am pisstaker calling me, one of those useless u working texts that goes nowhere and a timewaster I thought I'd blocked already. Ive literally got no food in the house now. Need to buy cat food, toilet roll, pay all bills. Can't go on like this. I cannot understand why it's so dead? Everyone else seems not to be having any trouble. And to top it off in two days I am due on so I really needed these two days now to make money. Oh and I've recently done new pics and posted those up too, had an offer on also. I feel as though there's a ban on Mr or something!!! I need money like yesterday. Escorting shouldn't be leading me to poverty. I don't know what to do about it??? I don't really have regulars I see each week either. I have repeat punters that come maybe once a month but that's it.

If you are on AW have you tried the available today and local escort search as well as phone number display? If you have been in that area a while and seen quite a few in the past it might be time to go and tour as areas can go very quiet if you been working them a while.

2nd this. Available today and touring a big city could help fix the problem.

Could you try camming or phone chat too also?

Yes the available today never seems to do much for me but waste credits. Yes my number is always up. I don't have a laptop so can't Cam but I have been thinking of doing this once I have enough money to buy one. I've not tried phone sex work as yet. Right now I'm about to have my broadband connection cut off as not paid the bill so it's the wrong time to start. But I may well do this when it's sorted. I can't tour as I have pets I can't leave and they hate anyone but me.

Hi try phone chat from as early as 5am .you can make credits and its free  It's often a popular time of day
Just reset every 2 hours as it automatically turns off .
It seems like you've tried lots to get going I'm not sure which area your in right now.
I wouldn't recommend touring as you're struggling financially .
Is there any family or friends could help  you out .?

...in two days I am due on so I really needed these two days now to make money...
If you can get it in time (for instance, from a private pharmacy or online with next-day delivery), get Norethisterone (aka Utovlan) to delay your period.  (You may have already heard of this).  You are meant to take it 3-5 days before your period, but apparently it can stop your period even when it has just started.  (I have only ever taken it in advance of my period myself).  It can delay your period for up to 30 days and 2-a-day (rather than 3) are enough.  Be aware, though, that it may lead to a longer period than usual with severe initial pains lasting 1-3 days.  That said, if you need to buy time, it's worth it, IMO.  There is more info on this at https://saafe.info/main/questions-and-answers/how-to-stop-a-period!!/ (https://saafe.info/main/questions-and-answers/how-to-stop-a-period!!/)

Alternatively, some ladies use (Beppy) sponges in order to work through their period, or just offer non-vaginal services during their period (like oral sex, anal sex, massage and domination) as shown at https://saafe.info/main/questions-and-answers/working-during-your-period/ (https://saafe.info/main/questions-and-answers/working-during-your-period/)

Other than this, if you haven't already considered dropping your prices, you possibly ought to do so as well as using Vivastreet (alongside AW) if you are not already doing so.

I feel your despair, CNC.  I started escorting at a point where I only had a few hundred pounds in the bank (compounded by £40,000 of credit card debt) and had no idea how I was going to survive the coming month.  Even now, I struggle at times.  Yesterday, for instance, my profit after costs was...barely worth acknowledging: £27.  I am in Wetherby. 
Do update us with your situation, and best of luck.

I do use that pill every so often but it started to give me migraine and then I couldn't ever predict when my next period would be which really got in the way. I have heavy and painful periods so I never work the first few days. I always offer other services when I'm on those last few days but no one ever takes me up on it. I do drop my prices every so often and did so this week but no ones biting. And I literally haven't got a penny. I have been asking around for £20/30 so I can go buy cat food, toilet roll n a bit of basic food but no one is willing to help. I just had some twat asking me about bareback and rimming which I don't offer so that's not helped my mood much either.

awwww I really do feel for you. I am so sorry. Hugs. Sadly not much I can offer in terms of advice as the ladies have already covered most things. Have you thought about part time work perhaps? Also did you ever think about maybe having the coil? I know we are all different but I have not had a period in 2 years since having it which takes so much pressure off, not worrying about coming on. Maybe worth looking into? If you dont mind me asking, what area are you in? (Feel free to PM if you prefer) More hugs. Wish things get better for you xxxx

CnC, is there a sex work project anywhere near you? We can do our best but you badly need some practical help (and if you were anywhere near me I'd do what I could, but I don't think you are  :-\) and somebody needs to sort you out with some proper contraceptive options as well as sorting you out a food bank referral if things are that bad. Have a google and see if there are any independent ones near you as some don't require a separate one.

Are there hotels which do day rooms nearby? The day use sites don't tend to need card details just to reserve one and you could always hang about somewhere close enough to check in when you have a booking so you're not paying out on the off chance :).

Have you looked into getting emergency benefits / Universal Credit of some kind, CNC?  I have no idea if there actually is such a thing (as emergency Universal Credit), but I believe there should be!  You've got nothing to lose by looking into the matter.

If not, you could possibly seek help from a church in the form of either food and / or money.  I know people who have been successful with this (and you don't have to be either a believer or a church-goer to access such help).  You could offer to repay them as soon as you are able to.

I forgot about the food bank. It might be too late now. I think my local one is tomorrow. I will call in the morning. Bloody ridiculous really, being an escort should not lead me to this! I'm in London, in the suburbs. I don't have a cool as it wouldn't work well with the sort of services I offer, it would definitely get pulled out or moved. I did look into it years ago and was told it can stop periods but it could also make me bleed for months in between periods. That really put me off.

There seem to be those on here who constantly have a good run of punters each week. How do they do it? And how in earth do you get regulars you see every single week? I've been doing this for years and just can't work it out. I've thought about what I offer and everything, my rates, etc and I can't see why I'm earth I'm not absolutely loaded. Short of not being on certain websites that demand paid websites to list that is.

Civvy work is not for me for many reasons, health reasons being one. So that's not an option. Going on the social is soul destroying. I used to be on it for years a long time ago and in the end I vowed never ever again after one of those terrible interviews about your health where they completely disregarded everything and said yes you can work just fine. I tried for a bit but in the end had to stop due to my health. What a surprise. I like escort work. I hate the bullshit timewasters that go with it but I'd rather escort than be in any civvy job, except I can't live on air alone. I don't understand where I am going wrong? Also I'm not the sort of escort who ever just lays back n thinks of England or is rude and makes the client feel he must hurry up. I don't know. I need some sort of new business plan to work on. I need to be making decent money asap. Also I thought if I could find another escort to work with duo's might be profitable but so far I've not had much luck there either.

I sort of dread to think what you mean by this, but only two or three men have ever felt/commented on mine - and one was my partner when I first had one fitted and it had dislodged, so he could feel it during sex. The second was a man with long fingers doing very vigorous finger, but he didn't cause any damage, just felt it? It might be worth trying the Mirena to cut down your periods. Ny normal copper IUD has never caused any intermittent bleeding.

I know you've said you've reviewed anything, but is there any room to cut your rates, selling them as a summer offer or something?

Is there any sort of issue with your location, or the services you offer? Some things, like period play, can put some clients off, or alternatively not offering e.g. kissing can lose you business. If there's anything like that I think you need to sell what you DO offer well.

I don't think anybody who's working thinks they should be at a food bank but plenty are - we have two here and my town is tiny. They can give you sanitary protection and toiletries too, and once things settle down you can always stick some stuff in their collection bin at the supermarket for somebody else :).

I don't think many people (here at least) would describe themselves as absolutely loaded! I wouldn't drive yourself nuts over it - I'm quite happy just being comfortable and I certainly don't take regular business for granted. Have you been in your area long? I have a lot of regulars but I've been working in my town on and off for over fifteen years and London for ten; I don't have any who come every single week though and most are once or twice a month.

It isn't clear from your post whether you have a website - a lot of my business comes from mine, both Google and directories?

That's interesting and I feel much better about things now. I don't think I've ever been comfortable though. I've been in my area for 8yrs. No I don't offer period play, my god I'm in far too much pain to do so.

I have a free website and I've been listing myself like crazy on many free listing sites.

I do offer kissing and gfe as well as kinkier stuff which is more what I enjoy. But I do find that as a sub I don't really tend to get many Dom clients which is weird. I get gfe and kink clients. I have a quickie client who is a regular but as it'd so fast it doesn't pay much. I also have one or two half hour regulars but as its only short again it doesn't really pay the bills. I have two different rates for hourly bookings depending on if it's a great or a harder kinkier booking. I do incalls but I can do outcalls too. I never get any outcalls though. When I first started I could only offer outcalls n I did fairly well. It's odd that now I never get any serious genuine outcalls. I don't drive so I'm limited to the public transport times to get me home before the last train n bus but even so it never used to be an issue. I think I was a lot cheaper for outcalls when I first started n did an hour whereas now my minimum booking is 90mins. Maybe I need to go back to doing an hour so it's cheaper? How much would you charge for a kinky hour outcall booking in London? Or for a gfe outcall?

When I first started I could only offer outcalls n I did fairly well. It's odd that now I never get any serious genuine outcalls. I don't drive so I'm limited to the public transport times to get me home before the last train n bus but even so it never used to be an issue. I think I was a lot cheaper for outcalls when I first started n did an hour whereas now my minimum booking is 90mins. Maybe I need to go back to doing an hour so it's cheaper? How much would you charge for a kinky hour outcall booking in London? Or for a gfe outcall?

It is not that easy to get lots of regulars and does depend on how many you see to build up some. It is very hard work getting regs back i find i have to go overboard really act like i love the job and enjoy doing what i am doing with them and sometimes talk dirty pay them fake compliments to get those regulars but even if you are very good does not mean most will come back some just really like variety and like to try new all the time. So try not to worry toi much.

I think you're immediate situation is getting some help via food bank or signing on to benefits just to help you through the really bad time then i think you need to do some tours in completely new areas where you will be the "new gitlrl"

Even if you look good and price is good does not mean there is enough clients in you're area for you to have a steady income for 2 years i think starting out you have a few months of being quite busy then it can slowly start being not anywhere near how it started it is hardly ever consistent for any sex workers otherwise most would be earning very well this shows for how many tour regularly if they want there income to be more worthwhile. I never ever find this industry steady especially staying working in 1 area for a long time.

So do not give up but just change how and where you are working if you can.

CurlesnCurves, I very much empathise with you.

Just as a reference - at the moment I have around £40 in my wallet and that's all I have. Plus ridiculous amount of unpaid bills.
I've been dodging work for a week (working on my website and marketing ideas instead, my brain is overloaded  :FF), need to get to it tomorrow. I feel like being behind with money will never bloody end  :FF
I think that an image of a loaded escort in designer clothes is a bit of an urban myth. It is a reality for some, but not that many.
And I would see it as any other business - some thrive, some not so much.

I've been in the business for few years and often it's been a struggle, especially when you add to the equation isolation, emotional toll, feeling stuck at home waiting for a booking that might come.
Only recently I got a website and I started putting my heart (and time! and money!) into marketing. It makes a massive difference.
I don't want to sound like suddenly I know it all, but I think that you can ALWAYS MAKE IT BETTER.
You have a website, great, but YOU CAN MAKE IT BETTER.
Do you have any marketing ideas? Like discounts for a short period of time? Discounts for afternoon sessions for a week?
Do you have a blog, newsletter? Even if you have them, you can always make it better.
The way I see this work now is like any other business that without constant marketing, innovation etc will not be successful.

I think the key is when sex workers do earn well save as much as possible and if when it does go shit least you can support yourself for a while and have money to try to pay for hotels in new areas to work from. But overall this industry is so up and down there could be a week where you worked all week and cleared 2000 and another week cleared 100. It is a strange industry and all you can do is make the best of it if you want it as a job/ career for a while.

I have had friends that came into industry earnt really well for couple of months spent most of it on shoes handbags holidays then it has gone dead and they are in shock horror not saved anything and struggling to pay there phone bill. I always remember this and know the quiet times happen so try to prepare as best can.

So if you're saying you don't do less than 90min for outcall, I would re-think it.

I would too. You have access to what amounts to the cheapest, best integrated and easiest public transport in the land, and whilst I wouldn't be bothering with half hours I'd certainly be doing an hour and maybe even 45 minutes.

It's just a hunch, but do you advertise heavy sub stuff and GFE all together in the same ads? I don't mean just bit of spanking or whatever; if the answer is yes then bear in mind that these are two very separate markets and whilst some people will dip in and out, there's a chance that if it's all chucked in together the serious and experienced Dom punters will think you're just playing at it or sticking it in for marketing purposes, whilst the GFE punters are likely to be put off by talk of heavy BDSM stuff, especially if you have photos showing marks on your body and suchlike.

It's fine to have separate ads/personas and I'd keep the niche stuff for niche sites. It also means you can advertise your higher rate for these bookings separately so it isn't constantly being seen alongside your lower one :).
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: CurlsnCurves on 07 June 2018, 10:55:39 pm
Okay I've added an hour to my outcalls now. I don't do overnights. I couldn't handle those. 4hrs is my limit.

Yes I do advertise them together but I won't put the gfe on for any free BDSM listing sites I might add myself on. I'm not into pain so never covered in marks.

I've never got any money to put aside to save. Ever.

Yes you could do a discount scheme for regulars who book twice a month. Good idea.

Ive always found Sundays quiet , not so bad in the mornings but find Sunday lunch is generally a family or pub time and Sunday nights getting ready for work etc , less excuses to get out on a Sunday, compared with weekays and sat nights .

For a while now I’ve not really wanted to work as much as I used to because I’ve been going through a lot of stress. Yesterday I was so tired so didn’t work at all but calls were coming through dime a dozen. Today however it’s slow and one person who was supposed to confirm hasn’t bothered so I’m guessing I need to stop being so picky and just take whoever comes. Unfortunately bills piling up so needs must!

I just have not been busy at all this week. Advertised 11am-9pm last night, got 3 hour's worth of bookings. Today I have an hour, but been advertising since 8am, even had a bit of a sleep on the sofa with my phone on loud.

It's dead here and I'm being bombarded with timewasters and no shows, phone broke yesterday, previous hotel was so vile I left and lost the first nights room rate.
 Becoming a little upset as I really need these incall dates to work, its my last day here and it's been awful, one half hour today and 4 no shows and 3 cancellations in 36 hours, some even had feedback which I know means very little but still. Fortunately I had a fairly long booking yesterday as none of my regs are calling this week so costs are covered but f all else unless it picks up.  It's bizzare but I guess clients always come in waves.

Sunday afternoons I find bad and Friday after 2/3 until the evening , I think maybe they all rush home from work on a Friday or try and get out of the traffic, depends where you are .

I find Friday afternoons bad in London but Friday pm picks up , so things could change it a sunny here though so most people are trying to get some rays in :)

Yeah suppose its weird how things turn out. I dont have a high daily target, so if my only other booking goes ahead, theres still hope for one more to reach it. Hope you are having a good Friday. No sunshine here but not too bothered as have no interest going outside today  ;D

Dead again. Paid for the green available today light n just timewasters. A regular just asked how the special offer was going, I said it wasn't and I'd been asked to take it down and some pisstaker had complained about me not being available when I said I would be. I have been available everyday this week!!! Sitting around waiting for sod all, bloody cheek. Plus apparently I have something on my profile which isn't allowed....no, I don't. I think they just make this shit up. I've had issues like this before. Really don't need it now. One prat wanting an outcall NOW, no notice. Another saying the time I could do was no good for him despite the time he wanted being the time he was texting me, how on earth does he expect to get to me in zero minutes flat??? The usual 'hi babes, u working?' time-wasting texts and weirdos from other countries saying they want to book me 'for a minute' what???? Or 'u nice' texts. But no actual bookings. Sitting around with mega itchy arms and ankles due to mosi bites and the sun and just covered myself with calamine lotion but no relief. Just want to scratch myself raw!!! It's not helping.

Hi CC

I know you said you been in the area 8 years but have you ever had some weeks that have been reasonable or has it always been a struggle for you to make a decent living?

Yes the available today never seems to do much for me but waste credits. Yes my number is always up. I don't have a laptop so can't Cam but I have been thinking of doing this once I have enough money to buy one. I've not tried phone sex work as yet. Right now I'm about to have my broadband connection cut off as not paid the bill so it's the wrong time to start. But I may well do this when it's sorted. I can't tour as I have pets I can't leave and they hate anyone but me.

 Why were you asked to take down your special offer was that on AW

I know you said you can't tour because of pets but depending on where you are can you tour locally
I mean say your based in Leeds could you tour to York or Manchester and come home at night  I know a few escorts who live in x town but tour to B town which is only maybe an 30 mins on the train but it makes all the difference

Some  hotels ( Days  inn -Novotel - Ibis Holiday inn allow pets for a small charge )
To be honest if you stay in the same area all the time it will go dead eventually
Guys will just glide over your add add and think oh she's always here I'll get her next week

I'm only ok in my home town where I have worked for years because I have a shit load of regular clients and I'm not there that often so when I'm there for a week or a few days I can be pretty busy

But I'm still a lot busier when I tour other areas

This is exactly what i was thinking you can still try other areas that are 40 mins to an hour drive away where new clients will be and come back in evening and if it comes to it get someone to come in twice a day to check on pets feed and walk them etc depending on if there is dogs.

Well April was a good month for me. Since then though it's been awful. I have been struggling for a while yes. I don't think it's simply the area I'm in though as I know of one other escort not far from me who always has work. Her rates are cheap though and I think she does duo's n can drive to outcalls when needed. But as I say, her rates are dirt cheap. I don't know anyone other than parlour ladies that are that cheap. Certainly I wouldn't sell myself for those prices of I may start to really hate the job which I think she has done for a while judging by what some guys who have seen her have said. Anyway, that's another story. I may in time when I have money to into central London n get a day room n see how that goes. Even better if I can do it as a duo. I feel that may be popular. I had a look last night at those day rooms n was quite impressed. But again I need to make money first to do that.

I think you do need to experiment with new areas etc and see what the response is. There will usually always be women in you're area that will be busy and some dead plus it can swap and change .  You should test this out if you can by changing you're area to a new 1 or 2 for a couple of days and  see how much interest there is although you will get timewasters that see you are the new girl but it could indicate whether you do need to try other areas to work or if there might be a problem with you're pictures or something.

You could just say you are booked up when they contact you but this can give you a better idea of how to go about earning more then you currently are.

But surely some money is better than no money? You don't need to go to her level perhaps (without knowing the details it's difficult to say if she's cheap or you're expensive) but are your rates higher than other women in the area?

Totally even if someone has built up some decent regulars i still doubt it would be that busy overall anymore. I used to move to work in different areas after 6 months to keep busy but i had to rent a flat and tie myself to flats but now it is made so much more easier by able to swap you're area in a day and book a hotel and if do not like try somewhere else with no tied in contract.

Yesterday was ok. I did a 1 hr and a 2 hr, then turned down another hour to go see 'McQueen', the documentary on the life of Alexander McQueen. That makes for one hell of an expensive cinema visit, but my heart wasn't in it any more. Can't be a slave to men's sexual needs, or my own financial needs, all the time. My July tax payment is in my tax account, so I was due a reward for good behaviour.

Started work today confident I had a one hour booking planned for later today. The guy was messaging on AW and yesterday we discussed the time etc but the bloody guy cancels this morning. That’s fair enough these things happen I suppose. Then a guy I’ve seen before but not so keen on wanted a booking and started faffing about changing the time and then cancelling.

Had some short bookings but all late and excessively so that it meant bookings clashing etc. I hate that. I always leave 30 mins between bookings too. Traffic apparently bad
 
Another one cancels as he was stuck in traffic.

Now the last one late. Really pisses me off. Never seen a day like it.

I hate waiting around like this and the fact they pick their moments to say when they are late (after the booking time) really pisses me off. Going to just be a bitch and cancel if 15 mins or more late now.

Oh no sorry to hear that Lady V  :(

I don't get many of those these days as I normally suss them out beforehand but it's an awful feeling when one slips through the net!

Last couple of weeks have been great but from yesterday it's died - only did half hour!

Today so far my phone is yet to ring (I'm not counting the idiots that rang through the night - I had my phone on silent!)

I'm off on holiday from Friday and wont be working for 2 weeks so need to do OK this week in order to pay for everything while I'm away!

I am finding not many late morning bookings coming in plus i find the earlier calls are timewasters or cheapskates or wanting a booking in 10 mins.

I find most of my bookings come in after 1pm til 7 or 8pm when i finish.

Dead phone, and I have only a 90 min so far today. Had a charming email though from Mr Fantasy, pretending to be a woman who wants to book me for 'her' lesbian granddaughter, for 3 hours per day for an entire week. Too jaded to engage in correspondence, won't even bother with a troll response.

New moon on the way, so am expecting a peculiar few days.  ;D

May as well do useful stuff, so have booked a manicure, hair cut and keratin treatment, and yoga until the punters normalise.

Last week very busy and I hit my target.

I had one booking yesterday from a returning client which was nice and another enquiry from someone who always takes a good hour to reply to any email  ::) So by the time he's finally got back to me I've usually booked someone else in! It makes me want to block him sometimes  :FF

Today the phone is dead... not a single enquiry.

Same here, I said no to two requests for role play, because it was unbelievably complicated, required multiple costume changes, a guy wanting to be hit in the face and have his nuts kneed. Hm, not today, sweets.  :'(

One guy who 'rang me last year' but hasn't actually bothered to make an appointment in the meantime, now needing me to measure the height of my heels. Again, not making an appointment. I look forward to hearing from him next year, when he wants to know what shade nail varnish my toes are.

Sodding new moon today.

On the plus side, nice cardio session in the gym, and my new manicure looks great. Shopped for a healthy dinner this evening, salmon and broccoli with brown rice.

The day is young yet! Good luck, ladies (and gentlemen, of course)

All I've managed today is an email from a qualified masseur (apparently) who wants to do a massage exchange. So he wants me to give him a sensual massage for free followed by me letting him rub his hands over my naked body including my lady bits again for free.  :FF

And he addressed me as "hun".  :FF :FF

I finally got an advance booking for Thursday and one of my favourite regular's saved the day today! He must have sensed I was in need  ;D

I also had a call from somebody a very long way away from me looking for regular meets 2-3 a month and he's just a really nice, genuine, honest guy looking for a really genuine, honest escort. He must have dropped in 'honest' 12 times during the entire phone call and he was looking for someone honest so far away as no one local to him is honest.

I kept thinking all the way though I wonder what he's got to hide  ::)

The worst kind of ungenuine ones are these type and the ones that say they are looking for a genuine girl to meet on a regular basis and only 1 girl, mostly it is all bullshit they are trying to get you to drop the price hoping they will book regularly or you will give them special VIP service just for them as they will be booking all the time. Complete idiots.

Yes, they drive me berserk, too. So transparent. God's gift delusion. I usually say 'let's just take it one appointment at a time, shall we, until we know that we have a good enough time to make another date' in my most amused voice. They're usually flabbergasted I'm not biting their hand off at the prospect of a cheapskate becoming a regular. Yikes, really??

How many full regulars do we ever actually meet after all.

Out of the clients I have return most are here and there and certainly not weekly or monthly like they make out they will do.

Some I only see once a year but I still see call them returnees.

I find full regulars disappear anyway after a few months.

Yes the ones i see again are here and there never once a week every single week but when i used to years ago be very high volume per day i used to get the weekly returns quite a bit.
Plus most now days expect so much they are always trying out new women looking for that next buzz.

Same, I'm confused what's happening.  I'm usually very busy at this time of year but last week was one of my worst weeks. I can't imagine it being the world cup causing issues yet so I just don't know what's happening.
It's picked up for me the last couple of days but it's still not as busy as usual or as I was expecting. It's interesting as I'm getting more from Eros than aw and for me that's very unusual, I've not been showing up on local despite paying sometimes so that maybe something to do with it for me, I know a few people aren't showing up on the searches they should be lately.

I've found this over the years. Not that I haven't had my fair share of guys who I've seen for 2/3 years (I've never been in one place long enough for it to go on more than that) but most drop off after a handful of sessions, maybe to resurface on the odd occasion if they are feeling nostalgic or at a loose end. Lots of punters are in it for the novelty after all.  I do think this has gotten worse (that I have noticed) in recent years also. And without a somewhat more dependable stream of regs these slow periods are bloody painful :(

You mean summer school hoildays? well not started yet in England. Usually last/near to last week in July so it shouldnt be to do with that? If so, not a good sign already dead before its even began! haha

Did a 2 day tour. Firsr day complete shit just 2 clients 1 hour each. Second day was mental. Started 10am and worked right through till 2am and turned away loads all 1 hour bookings. Never made so much in one day in my entire work history. You just never know which way its going to go. A good lesson ive learnt is to save your money for those rainy days when its quiet.

LOL first text: are you available tomorrow for 1hr and 30mins Me:no, sorry second text: do you have availability in the week? Me: no, sorry   i really hope that he understood! LOL

Although I do not state no Sunday working I always class it is my full day free for myself and rarely get enquiries anyway but yesterday all hell broke loose and I got call after call from both regs and newbies. I took only two bookings as was around and free and I class them as my bonus earnings for an already great week.  No idea where they all came from but possibly a simple coincidence.

The previous two weeks had been very quiet and I just scraped through with my targets.  Never a rhyme or reason for how it works but I gave up worrying or dwelling on it long ago.

First week of the month was great! Last week was okay. Hopefully the rest of the month will carry on the same.

I seem to be taking a lot of advance bookings lately so have a couple set up for this week already but today is dead! Just two idiots who have been blocked. Not in the mood for their shit today lol!

Did a 2 day tour. Firsr day complete shit just 2 clients 1 hour each. Second day was mental. Started 10am and worked right through till 2am and turned away loads all 1 hour bookings. Never made so much in one day in my entire work history. You just never know which way its going to go. A good lesson ive learnt is to save your money for those rainy days when its quiet.

just fidnishing my tour in Cardiff today. It’s my fourth day and only made £400 profit. I get about 20 calls a day, they all seem to want hardcore lorn services for as little as possible plus every second text is asking for bareback. Never ever coming back here. My friend is different nationality and it’s same for her.

It is soul destroying at times when you have worked so far away and not made much plus having to put up with awful people taking the piss.

Still quiet here. I went against my usual restriction on Monday cos I needed the half hour rate. Didn't like the sound of the guy on the phone plus he was pushy, plus he actually asked me to cancel a booking so I could fit him in as I told him I was busy, plus he said he had gear n I could hear him sniffing. I said no. But then I thought, dammit I need the money n he rang back begging to see me so I agreed. Then he said can I pay bank transfer. I said yes but it needs to clear before I let u in. He kept asking if he could do it at mine n I said no. I told him to forget it. Then I thought right, okay if he can do it with me sat in his car so be it. So that's what we did. I can tell you I was ultra wary n I kept that car door wide open too. It went straight in though. But I thought god he's gonna have a limp dick from the drugs so this isn't gonna be easy. Luckily it was okay but he finished himself off n seemed happy. Nearly fell over on his way out! Not had any bookings since so just as well I did it. Got one tomorrow morning but it's only another half hour n with a very boring not very regular, regular. Better than nothing I suppose but one thing escorting has done to me is really make me dislike sucking cock! I used to love it before I started escorting too. But you never know what you're gonna get, what state it will be in, if it will need a wash, how long you'll be down there for and the worst is when it drags on n your mouth needs a rest or they're just not getting hard cos they've already cum once. So bj only bookings aren't my favourite but that's what I've got this week. Hopefully some decent bookings will pop up by Sunday cos two half hours in a week ain't gonna do me any favours! Oh n the dickheads who waste your time sending texts saying "hey", "how are you?" "wassup" are just annoying the hell outa me. Why do they bother? Why do any of them even ask how you are? It's not like we're friends or they know me. I find it really weird. Fine if it's a regular but not a random caller or texter. Just odd.

And for this week i'm not so hopeful about what's  gonna happen because i didn't started very well. monday nothing, tue. 3bookings and wed. 2h with a guy that i have seen before... so nothing new and i'm starting to worry about that... my rent is coming and i don't have all the money :))) and i'm an escort, but if you are going to say to someone that you don't have money, nobody's gonna believe you :)))

All the best ladies and busy days for all of you! :*

This industry is extreme lows or highs no pattern my Wednesday was the worst day for ages no bookings just 2 calls all day so switched off at 6pm and today a totally different day took 600 you just wonder how it changes so much. But i do try to take the money over the month if you did it daily it would never be that even. I am grateful when i have a good week but i always know a bad week will be around the corner.

Yup. I had a client today who said to me that I'm charging a lot per hour (more in a sense that it's more than in other industries).
I didn't know what to reply to him.

They don't take into consideration all the costs (accommodation, advertising, constant investments in the business), the fact that it's not always busy, that some bookings are horrible and there are no shows, it's not the safest of jobs, you're dealing with lots of idiots on the phone, and I can do only as many bookings a day because after my limit I'm drained and can't do a good job.
And whatever free time I have, I spend it on my website and learning/ reading about marketing and IT.
Add to this stigma and isolation (okay, isolation is my personal choice, so I can't rant that much).
Is it really that much per hour? (plus, in comparison to other service providers, I'm very reasonably priced I think)
And let's not forget about taxes!  :FF

If they had to do our job they would not last 5 minutes especially with ugly rude smelly people.

They have no idea but some do resent us and deep down hate paying us. We have to be on our guard for dangerous situations, timewasters fake bookings and risk of catching something and risk of family friends finding out what we do.
We deserve every penny for what we put up with.

So my response to someone like that would be go somewhere else you are not the type i wish to see and why he is at it why don't he try doing what we do with someone who is unattractive and smells bad then come back and tell me it is too much.

These idiots are so rude.

punters they are thinking we are like a it consultant LOL they are dreaming! Anyway even them they get paid very well!


anyway the slow time seems here, i should get a booking on Saturday quite long, so it is fine! i will have some cash available but i didn t hit my weekly target. I hit the monthly target so it is ok! when will be the world cup next 4years i think that it is a good idea to go on holiday!  8) because i actually feel to be in holiday but at home!

For some reason I always find Wednesday to be the quietest day of the week (Not including the weekend) I do not know why but I am thinking of taking this day off each week now. The other days are up and down but I have been looking back at my accounts and each week Wednesday is the least profitable day of the week no matter where I am

Wednesday's used to be dead for me too, but not anymore! They can now be one of my busiest days. Thursdays are usually dead instead. Weird, isn't it?

Good on you. I find it so insulting when a man tries to tell us what to charge or we are too much.

I had a man phone me last week said i hope you do everything for what you charge there is cheaper about the area. As soon as he said this he was not getting a booking with me no way.

I told him that is a rude way to talk when you are after a booking he said sorry but it is a lot of money so needs to be worth it. I said try someone else i do not wish or need to see you i am independent and can pick and choose like you.

That is the perfect answer and one I would love to  use if the opportunity arose.  Thing is it could make a man change his mood and walk out and I wouldn't want that to happen.  If he asked on the booking phone call I would not hesitate to say it though!  :)

Not one call today except a previous client who I’ve now blocked. He’s been before but has cancelled before and now today when you don’t engage in continual sexual text chat in the run up to a booking.

I’m fuming as I’ve had my number off the profile since
Saturday afternoon and just put it on today. However switched the phone on this morning before showing my number and have random guys whatsapping and texting if I’m free.
I hadn’t showed the number so obviously timewasters who save escorts numbers etc.....
I’m wondering where all the men are lol and I was feeling really fresh and motivated today too

I left the next day i wasnt sitting around all day for a string of no shows and boundary pushers. I probably would have got 2 a day but it wasnt worth it for me as in another place i could do 4xs as much. Cardiff is off the list of touring destinations.

It is good but when you tour and are new in a new area if you put the hours in it can be good like why so many tour regularly. It really helps when you seen loads in you're normal area and need a change.

It is hard to work hard in this weather unless in a hotel with Air con.

Yes I am touring every week now and my mobile has gone mental.  I don't stay the night but every week it is an hour away from home.  Only downside is driving in the heat lol.  It is only a half day and two days but tiring ....

Just had an hour booking from a lovely gentleman. The type who makes you smile and the booking went smoothly.

Relaxing for a bit and hoping my good regular comes later.

I’m laughing to myself as a bloke who I saw a while back and who wrote a positive review on an unmentionable forum (it had several identifying things in the review which when I read it knew who he was) but in his positive brought up a few negative things about my service is calling to book again.....I like to take constructive criticism don’t get me wrong but I shall not be offering him another booking so he can ring all he likes lol

Hi All,

I'm new, I was wondering if you see patterns with how busy you are. Ie yes its football season but also coming up for the end of the month. This week has been really quiet for me.

Cassie x

There should be a thread on this but yes, there are peaks and dips during the year for everyone I would think. You can equal it out to a certain extent with more advertising, changing locations ie touring and marketing ect.

It’s been dead over the phones today with more tw calls than usual but I am hoping that Sunday should be better.

The gods (whoever they are) are looking down on me this week because I had made my weekly target by yesterday afternoon. Means I can if I choose to go outdoors and soak up some of this glorious sun.  What I usually do though is wait around until mid day and if no bookings confirmed by then I bugger off.

Does anyone else find in the days running up to payday it all goes dead and the timewasters emmerge from the woodworks in full throttle?

I've done really well this month and Mon-Tues this week I was fully booked. Yesterday all the people who called or text were already saved as timewasters and people who failed my screening (I finally gave up when I got a text from a drug dealer  ::)) and today is exactly the same. The only other new caller today was someone I decided to turn down.

I'm thinking to give up and try again tomorrow! I've already got a prebooking for tomorrow which I'm excited for  ;D

It always tends to dwindle a bit towards pay day. Sunday and Monday I didn’t take a single booking  but I was fairly busy on Wednesday considering. Got a prebooking Sunday too so hopefully I’ll make up for the quiet days  :P

Pre bookings are life savers sometimes aren't they! I'm hoping I'll get at least one or two more in by the end of the month. Hopefully it'll pick up again as pay day comes tomorrow.

I'm getting a hell of a lot of people just texting 'Hi' too. I wonder what they gain from that  ??? ::)

I tend to go by 26th of the month.  So when I book a 3 day tour if the start of the week is e.g. 25th I wait until 26th before paying out for any hotel.

Think the England match on Saturday is an afternoon match but will have to double check.
It is only once every 4 years so after 15th July things can get back to normal.
I watch footie with regulars for a long booking - so all good. (btw I don't charge guys for watching the footie!)
I think the ongoing heat can affect bookings, especially during the day but evenings cooler thank goodness.
Good luck England for the next match - it keeps us all in a good mood for a while and we all need that!

Men who have booked me in the last few days have not mentioned the footie once and I don't think they were fans. Not all men are supporters of any team and world cup matches mean little. I am not a fan myself but confess I did watch the closing moments last night and those penalty shots were scary.

All in all I have not noticed any difference in booking numbers during the world cup games.

So once again World Cup feaver took us by storm yesterday and I’m very happy we won. However I’m on a ten day tour and my phone didn’t ring once yesterday  :(

Anyone else finding its quiet the day of and day after the match. And now we have another one on Saturday. Bad times when your in a hotel. I think a pub day is needed for the next one.

Im doing oddly fairly well when the football is on but looking back also finding the day after the popular matches quiet. I wonder (if like me) some guys dread the idea of the pub when the football is on or their friends are all at the football so they come to us?

I took the money upfront, but didn't count it, because he's so friendly, right?
I just checked it now and it's £40 short. How many times do I have to get underpaid before I finally learn to count the money EVERY SINGLE TIME with EVERY SINGLE CLIENT. :FF  :FF :FF FFs

If they know you do not count it they will usually short change you knowing they can get away with it because you do not count it if they seen you before had a friend that seen a guy she seen 3 times each time she never counted it started off 20 short then 40 then 60 short it was only after the third time she decided to act on it and tell him and count it.

I always count the money in front of them and if they are new I tell them that I'm just checking that they haven't inadvertently overpaid me as it has happened on occasions. Seems to work for me.

Work wise at the moment it's just a slow drip of clients with the occasional outburst of time wasters. Had a sudden upsurge in people wanting to cum twice during a booking, even my regulars are asking. I think the hot weather is to blame!

Absolutely AGREE with this Count every SINGLE time!!
It has happened to me various times too until I aknowledged the more you see someone, yes even those really nice, friendly ones
the MORE likely they are to do this unfortunately
and i've no doubt it's on purpose
I always now say 'how much is there'  and let them say, and then check it, often at that point they will 'admit' it by saying 'oh 130' and i'll say 'it should be 150' etc and funnily enough they always seem to have the extra amount to hand :)

Maybe one day I will finally get to my head the idea that I don't have to behave like a nice helpful doormat to be liked and respected  :FF Maybe I don't even have to be liked; respected is enough  :FF

Yes, EG, thanks for the life example!

You can be nice and helpful without being viewed as a doormat and perhaps you need to be liked (in this job) to be respected ? 

I still sometimes feel a tiny bit uncomfortable watching them count out the money and asking for it if they have forgotten but it does not stop me doing it. Any cash transaction for any business and the money is checked by the receiver so no different with us but there is a nice way to do it and I make a little joke about it (known only to me and them) as I ask for the money.

Oops just remembered this is the "slow" thread   ::)  so I can say that today has not only been slow it ground to a halt mid morning. Phone has forgotten how to ring.  Last Monday I did very well.   ???

I did very well in the West Midlands the last few days. Even Saturday with the match on, I took several hours off between 2pm-5pm for errands and to hang out with a friend and still made my "regular" target for the day. (I have a stretch target and a regular.)

Re: counting - I count every time, always. I do count very quickly as I used to work in a cash office and when you're counting several thousand pounds several times a day, you learn to be quick! I've only ever had a couple of comments and I just say "Well several times clients have given me too much money and they've definitely been grateful that I've counted it and handed it back!" (which is absolutely true.)

I don't explain why I'm counting it, if they don't count it out to me then I'll count it back in front of them AND scan the notes with my UV light... the only ones who moan are the pompous old bastards who say 'you won't need to check it next time will you?' No mate, there won't be a next time!  ;D  >:D

I would be gutted if I didn't count it and it was short. Bet nobody's ever not counted it and it's been over...

 :) i am smiling despite i m having so slow time that make me so sad, more than other things
like my gp give me a pills for sleep that give you bad mood, noticed it and i stopped to take it
for it i declined an outcall and an incall! honestly i do not know if was the pill or my gut! try not overthink but after a google research i had a confirmation that pill affect your mood a lot.
then discuss with my family ... very bad! i should not say..but sometimes family are the worst....
now i am out the pill and i feel ok! but nothing about booking

i went to have a sport massage, therapeutic ..because i was worried about something
i didn t spend a fortune, was cheap and a deal so now i am not worried and feel so well! ...

so in summary last week i had only 30mins booking, not my ideal client but was ok the booking!
just cried yesterday, sorry for it! i am not ashamed to say!

i feel lonely more when it is slow like that and not desired...
more i do not feel loved even from my family!

hopefully try to be strong and i am listening a lot of podcast
but honestly i am just shocked that a pill can give depression! why they supply that?
still tuesday so still all week of hope!
this time i really need of a nice booking!

ps:really sorry for this sad post, but i need to share somewhere, hoping in understanding!
me too i hope England will win! not just for the business side but will be nice good vibes around the city, party and celebration!

I ended having 3 bookings yesterday, which for me is a day of success.

MySecret, if something feels unhealthy, like a pill or talking to your family, it probably is  :-*
When it's dead with work, I'm trying to focus on marketing and working on the business, learning about things that I can then use to better the business. It takes your mind away from worries.
Hope you'll feel better.

Thank you for your replies to my yesterday's rant on money counting, Ladies! Sorry for posting it here, I should have ranted on another thread.
I think I reached the limit of public self-loathing for now  :D I've been lamenting about being underpaid long enough.

Whoaa..., that's a whole different level !  ;D

Hope we'll all have a busy day today.

thank you for tips, actually i am writing every day my blog and updating often my profile
yes, i ll find something to improve! there is always something!
selling a lot my gallery in these days so i hope to be in some hot list!

about counting i understand you so much...i feel the same and i do not like to count in front of them..
but i do anyway...commenting..last time a gentleman give me more so i prefer to count to avoid any issue!
i do not need to comment but i feel so cold counting and scan the money! it is like i do not trust!
but as many said above, it is a transaction so it is normal to count money!
have a great day!  :-* thank you!

Had a good day yesterday. Three lovely clients although the weather was very hot and I am yet to buy a fan.
Had a guy enquiring since Sunday with lots of positive AW feedback wanting a two hour booking later today. I was delighted as it meant I could take things a bit easier today and I’ve got other personal stuff going on and wanted a relaxing day.
He’s just cancelled!!!!!!!
Fuming really but these things happen

Phone and messages very busy today unfortunately my day room was cancelled as I managed to choose a city that was very busy with graduation ceremonies  :FF therefore the hotels were too busy to honour the day room. I think I would have been really busy as well so I have rebooked for next week and keeping my fingers crossed for then

No I got to the hotel to be told they had very few people checking out and did not have a room available when I was checking in but might have in the next hour or two so I decided to not bother as by the time I had got checked in most of the day would have gone.

Can they even do that? I have no idea what the 'contract' is for something like that but with rooms normally I'm sure they have to honour what you have booked. I would have been fucking furious if I'd got there and they did that to me.  >:( >:( >:(

I have never had such a useless and slow time, back after a break due to stress followed by a bloody unexpected small op on an ulcer so into the overdraft and I'm getting 1 booking a day (good as meant to rest on plus side but I just paid 6 months rent and council tax plus vet bills of 1000s which has thrown me into a financial tail spin so this a truly awful time for it to be quiet) .

This has never happened at this location in 6 months. I'm earning less now I'm full time than I was working 2 days a week.  1 a day is ridiculous and they are half hours I rarely even get asked for half hours what is going on?!  My regulars appear to have vanished as well.  Wound up crying earlier after a bloke refusing to wait an hour for a booking 2 hours before the start time on my profile had a go at me and I NEVER get upset over clients.  Out of the 12 calls and a few texts today (it's 11.30am!)  not one seems a real booking all asking for address or postcode, all wanting a half hour, all wanting that half hour within an hour despite my only taking advance bookings or if green light is on bookings with a few hours notice (right on the top of my profile)
  My phone is extremely busy but all timewasters, had over 60 calls yesterday and a fair few texts, all timewasters or no one was on the other end of the line, one call was a bloke with a woman so I ask me I'm on some sort of prank lost.
 I have found a slight pattern in the time wasters as they have similar accents and styles all are in the late morning to mid afternoon this week, at least 7 people in 3 days have requested strap on which I don't offer, several vanished after giving them a postcode. All say they have no aw. I need my regs to reappear asap!!!!!!

Wow 60 calls a day but only producing 1 half hour booking something very wrong there. I have never ever had that amount of calls in 1 day from AW depends what area you work in though but i get 10 to 15 calls from 11am til 7pm and far less if a shit day but out of those i can get 3 bookings.

This is sort of the problem? I usually get 5-10 calls a day and some messages with maybe a third/half turning into bookings. I'm really confused what's happened this week and I'm becoming rather anxious what's happening, Im now only taking bookings through as as any more calls and my head will explode.

Have you checked your AW profile that you haven't ticked something by mistake
Years ago when I first started on AW I had mistakenly ticked BB I was on tour in London and my phone did not stop with a large amount of guys asking for BB
I couldn't figure it out until a regular client told me it was  ticked

As soon as I removed it my phone quietened down

Also check your not on Fri adds /Sockka & Kommons
They often pinch your details and you get a flood of calls but all from idiots

This has been my worst week in a while, done only 2 bookings in three days. Dreadful. After a slow start after coming back to work after a prolonged out, I had a good few weeks and thought things were picking up
but now back to dire-ness. I'm hoping its a glitch but I am in a city that people on this forum have regularly cited as being terrible for touring so maybe its this town as opposed to anything I'm doing wrong.

I doubt it as feedback more important than being verified.
It is just quiet i think over all as we are coming into the school sunmer hols usually the worst period i would say.

The last week for me has been quiet not many calls at all.

if you do not have a warning on your profile, should not affect too much..
as many punters do not check if you are verified
while i was in verification i was not an escort provider so affect it a lot! you ll not show on the search

Having a very good week so far. Last week I took a few "only see if quiet" men which meant I was not in my usual happy mood but covered it well so they were none the wiser.

Today was a strange one, one of those times when 2 clients in a row were guys I had not seen since last October. No reason for it other than coincidence.

If I got no more bookings this week I would still be happy.

I think this is true, that at least it can work out the same than if you work everyday in my experience. I think there is always going to be some kind of arbitrary limit as to the amount of clients who will be interested in you in any one area (yes omitting passers through very occasional clients etc) and those interested will start planning to come on the days you advertise as opposed to being more spread out across the week. I think being available all the time can be false economy. Just my experience though.

At the mo I am working most days but too anxious to drop down even though I know this can be the case. Its the 'but what if I miss a busy day!' syndrome.

Do we think this is to do with the world cup? I have a couple of friends who are complaining they're skint because of that (football fans) and I wonder if that's something to do with it?!

I had my best day ever last Friday and it was the 13th!  >:D There's no rhyme or reason for it, just got to go for it...

I do subscribe to the theory that intomeecee says, I book hotels for incalls and only ever do two consecutive days maximum. I get significantly less hits to my profile on the second day although it's often the better day. I feel myself that the more I'm available the less I might do although it's not always the case and there are many factors at work. Is it called Scarcity or something? Of course there are advantages to being available lots of regular hours.

World cup has finished now ladies... ;D

Not long ago I lamented on this thread about being underpaid £40 by a client (because I didn't count the money upfront).
This client, let's call him 'Helpful Dave', gave me advice about my business, i.e. to set up regular working days.
Not a bad idea, when I thought about it, with two powerful factors - scarcity and predictability. How will it work with general unpredictability of the market, we'll see. But as you, Ladies say, it can work.


I tried this. albeit for only a few weeks but it didn't work for me. I believe that the scarcity factor definitely helps but doing the regular days made no difference to me. A guy is either horny or he isn't and if he sees you on a Friday one time it doesn't automatically follow that he will next be horny, have the funds and be available to see you on another Friday. Then again that could be his exact schedule and it may work. There are definitely advantages and disadvantages to working regular hours / days and not. For me, as I only do incalls from hotels I found it impossible to offer regular days because prices fluctuate so much, I couldn't justify paying an extortionate rate just to keep regular days. I prefer to keep costs low and that keeps my stress lower as I have to earn less to cover my costs.

I think we overthink these things sometimes!

I wonder how ladies that work in the same town say 5 days a week do? The business must be there. But then so many ladies tour and I'm sure a big reason is to be 'new' and therefore scarce in an area for a short time. So again, advantages & disadvantages to both.

After taking a couple of days off due to a few days of what can only be described as break down inducing levels of timewasters it's still dead for me. It's been 2 weeks now and I'm concerned but its most likely just super bad luck for alot of us, it should pick up, it always does! Ups and downs in the job can be awful I must say!
 Off on holiday for a 12 days in a few days no doubt I shall be extremely in demand while I have no electricity or internet. Lol.

I can only advise not to use the internet while on holiday even if it is available!  I never check my sex work pages if out of the country and taking time off. An impossibility for some I guess but a holiday should be just that and not spent fretting over missed money/bookings.  This work can take over our lives and impinge on what should be relaxing and enjoyable pursuits.

This is why saving and more saving (if possible) is very important. Having a rainy day fund or ironically a dry spell fund is the best way to go.

Not a bad idea, when I thought about it, with two powerful factors - scarcity and predictability. How will it work with general unpredictability of the market, we'll see. But as you, Ladies say, it can work.

This is true. I work the same 3 days every week with the occasional extra weekend day if I've had a particular amount of booking enquiries for this day. I am normally fairly steady in my income, although last week was the worst week ever for me. This week, however, was one of the best weeks I have had. I could have done more if my mind and body was able to keep going but I did finish earlier than planned on Fri and didn't do Saturday at all because I had made so much and was knackered. My phone was going absolutely crazy all week. AND I got £100 in tips when I rarely get tips. Can't explain it!

Here's hoping next week isn't stupid quiet to counteract my lovely busy week.

I tried this. albeit for only a few weeks but it didn't work for me. I believe that the scarcity factor definitely helps but doing the regular days made no difference to me. A guy is either horny or he isn't and if he sees you on a Friday one time it doesn't automatically follow that he will next be horny, have the funds and be available to see you on another Friday. Then again that could be his exact schedule and it may work. There are definitely advantages and disadvantages to working regular hours / days and not. For me, as I only do incalls from hotels I found it impossible to offer regular days because prices fluctuate so much, I couldn't justify paying an extortionate rate just to keep regular days. I prefer to keep costs low and that keeps my stress lower as I have to earn less to cover my costs.

I think we overthink these things sometimes!

I wonder how ladies that work in the same town say 5 days a week do? The business must be there. But then so many ladies tour and I'm sure a big reason is to be 'new' and therefore scarce in an area for a short time. So again, advantages & disadvantages to both.

I work from home in the same place all the time. Usually I work Monday - Friday, but if I'm not doing anything at the weekend which is rare I will work them as well.

I am very low volume and some weeks I can have 6 bookings. Others I have just one but because I live where I work it's fine. I couldn't cope with having 5 or more bookings in one day. I just couldn't!

I have noticed a slowing down process the last 10 days or so and now we into the summer holidays so expected very slow days so probably will reduce days down as it is too time consuming to be available 5 days. If it is between zero customers to 1 or 2 a day.

I am finding most days the calls are under 10 per day but that is not so bad if 2 or 3 convert to bookings.

Dead today.
Have had a few looking for one hour bookings but I find one hour bookings too hard going in the heat.

Did have a previous client contact me yesterday for a booking but I don’t carry my work phone with me usually if I’m off so I told him to confirm today at 10am as I would be at my incall location then.

He decided to confirm at 9 am and then tried to change the time of the booking to half an hour before the original time.
I arrived slightly after 10am and saw the text. Responded they I could do the time he wanted but I had seen the text late so probably better to stick to the original time.
He cancels.
I couldn’t be arsed after that

Now I've come back and it's just the same. Only timewasters and people who have previously failed my screening. I've never been through a bad phase like this before! I have no idea what's going on or what to do?! ??? :(

I’m usually quite busy but this is awful! Got someone booked for tomorrow but I’m not holding my breath as tomorrow is supposed to be the hottest day of the year!

Well I'm thankful for you for that one booking at least.. You're right about the heat but how do the punters know how hot it will be when they arrive, they have no idea whether or not you have air conditioning/fan. I would just put it down to punters are just not looking for a punt in your area today..Tomorrow will be a better day hopefully :)

I can't believe it today. After another awful day, no decent callers, just people who failed my screening previously and some new idiots to add to the list, I decided to give up and take myself out to clear my head. Then I came back home and I had 8 missed calls :FF

I never get evening enquiries like that.  ??? Maybe the odd one or two occasionally but I usually get all my work in the day. I'm guessing it must be the heat so I'm going to start work later in the day now for a while. At least I'm not as invisible as I was beginning to feel, I guess.

I doubt the world cup has taken a chunk of punters money only the ones that have gone out there to see them. Sometimes it is just shit this industry has never ever been stable but the summer hols was always over all quiet in all the years up and down i have worked.

Why not get a fan and highlight how your place is lovely and cool? Really sell your USPs!

It's also been very quiet in Scotland and I have been mainly seeing regs this week, thankfully. I have been shocked by the lack of calls I have been getting despite all my marketing and paying on AW for various things. I wasn't too fussed today though because I was absolutely shattered after a sleepless night and only did 3 bookings on checking into my hotel. I did some camming instead and made nearly 100 credits in about 30 mins but the WiFi kept kicking me off so decided to scrap that idea. It's the last day before pay day so bound to be quiet. Am mad busy tomorrow and Sat though so maybe people are waiting til they get paid?!

I know the English holidays have started, so not sure how that will affect you or even us up here, but can't say I have noticed much of a difference through our holidays. I've only had one significantly quieter week than usual and that was the last week of the world cup.

Hang in tight, it will get better. If not, go on tour.

Most punters i saw around that time just sat at home with a couple of beers watching it or some were not even into it or watching it. I just think it is more quiet if they were playing because they usually will be watching it with family. I just think it is quieter now with not only people spending out on summer holidays abroad with the kids but even if they are nt off abroad and have kids they give them money or take time off to do stuff with them.

I only do outcalls in the evenings and always get longer bookings - 2 - 3 hours and have been busy this week. Even had a tip and turned down 2 genuine bookings whilst I was on the others.
Have advanced bookings for next month too. I don't display my number either -  this avoids timewasters calling and don't have the patience for them. They have to have AW account and feedback.
The daytime weather is certainly a factor - sucks the energy out of everyone.
Also I think the number of others out there offering same services in the same area has an effect.

Going to be cooler next few days so that maybe a bonus if they are not going on holiday!

End of month and beginning of month seems to be the busiest with mid month being quiet.

I had a guy call the other day asking for 15min which ordinarily I don’t offer but with it being quiet I figured I’d go for it. Had a blast, popped 15min rate on my profile and they helped keep me ticking over in between cancellations and TW.

Common theme was that they were fathers with very little free time over the holidays but 15min scratched the itch. Didn’t have a single one try to overstay their welcome and I had a blast. Definitely keeping them on.

Glad that has kept you going in the dire holidays changes to prices can help.
I think a lot of the men want the 15 min quickies not becauae they only have 15 mins but because they do not want to pay the 30 minute price but still expect full service. I have had many pay for 30 mins over the years but leave in 15 to 20 mins if they have cum and still be happy.

Every guy i have had ask me for 15 min which i state i do not offer at a  cheaper rate so if they have less time it is still the 30 min fee but they know this and still try to get it cheaper so overall most of there excuses of not having enough time is just because they want to pay cheaper but stll get everything.

I never used to offer 15 mins because I thought they'd be guys that wanted 30 mins but were being cheap and would overstay. That would piss me off. But the 15 min ones I get are okay, I charge £20 less than my half hour so still appealing but totally worth it for me. As long as they are quick to cum then I like 15 min bookings, over in a flash really. I do move it along if they are being slow and reiterate it is just a quickie and they are fine with it. Most still choose a half hour but tbh I would be happy with more 15 mins, a better earner per minute!

I do also get the half hour ones that are done in 20 minutes, I like these too!

I think if i offered the 15 mins there would be more punters coming through the door and would bring more notice plus i think more risks so i think years ago i used to do loads per day but now i prefer less but more money each one but i get if they are done very quick then it can benefit and i suppose also quiet period when times are harder a cheaper price can help things ticking over for ones that cannot afford the 30 mins or a hour.

I fully appreciate that. I’m not greedy, I just like to cover my costs and a bit extra. I got great deals this week and was able to cover hotels very easily. I had two hour cancellations, half hours cancellations etc and they would have been ace in terms of extra pennies but I’m grateful I was able to cover my costs and not regret the decision.

I only work a day or two a week and didn’t have to exceed my happy number to cover costs so all good. :)

“Greed is right.
Greed works.
Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit.
Greed, in all of its forms - greed for life, for money, for love, for knowledge - has marked the upward surge of mankind.
And greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA. Thank you very much.''

I appreciate marketing tips on this thread, thank you Ladies!

Haha that's class! I'm quite happy to say I'm greedy, I do this for the money. I enjoy the work mostly and I love the freedom & flexibility but it's all about the money for me. Although having said that, it's lovely to have nice things but most of all I value the peace of mind of being able to pay my bills, my mortgage and be able to save and treat myself. We all do this for our own reasons whatever they might be. :)

Back on track, today I had possibly the fewest calls in a day I've ever had while working. Just tumbleweed but I did score 3 bookings, quite impressed since I only spoke to five people. So it seems that although genuine enquiries were low, the TW's are also on holiday!

School holidays don't affect my bookings much really as the majority of my clients are of an age where their children are adults themselves. Grandparents do a lot of child minding in the holidays though but if a man wants to book a wg he will find the time.  Looking back at my records of summer holiday weeks I can't honestly say things have been bad.

I was going to say the same about the first week, especially - everyone panics/goes mad/has to readjust to new routine.

Came to Leicester for a tour and totally dead. Literally have sat here for 24 hours and had nothing but time wasters. Annoying seeing as at home I was doing OK. You know that feeling pre-tour when youre like 'hopefully it's going to be nice and busy!' to during tour 'jeeze I hope I at least cover my costs...' sigh

Weirdly busy in Leeds, did 6 bookings yesterday and 2 today. Have a couple of long bookings with regs tomorrow and Thursday. I've dropped my half by 10.00 so I'm guessing that's why I'm busy this week, was going to keep it on until end of summer but I think I might be stupid to not just keep it at that rate for good

What was the original half-hour rate before as I plan to tour Leeds and be good to be at similar half-hour to be busy too. My one-hour stays the same.

Well that's something to be grateful for, the only thing worse than a quiet day is a day with only idiots & TW's on the phone but no actual bookings. Days like that make me want to cry, I never feel so bad if it's quiet but I've been spared the TW's. I think it's because when it's quiet and the phone does ring, your hopes rise and then they fall further when it's yet another fool.

I had a terrible day like that last week, plenty of calls, every single one of them added to the block list. The only one that got a booking was someone who had slipped through the net of Truecaller as when I changed my phone I lost my block list  :'( . He was blocked for being a chronic overstayer but luckily not so this time as I remembered why I'd blocked him & it could have been worse. He turned out to be the only booking that day.  :FF It was a Sunday and I think that was my mistake. Weekdays only from now on!

I had a day like that yesterday! All day nothing but idiots calling. Luckily in the end (7.30pm) I was saved by a regular! I would’ve normally given up long before that but he likes to pay in advance so I got £300 for half hours work!

Overall a diabolical week though

I'm in Sheffield and the timewasters today were probably the worst I've ever had in one day in nearly 3 years!

I managed to get one booking in, two people trying to trick me into taking bookings who I've refused repeat business to, several complete idiots call, a no show then I finally got one client who was so nice and normal it was like he'd been sent from heaven  :angel:

I have been to Sheffield a few times and never encountered as many time wasters as I had today. I still managed to get two hour and two 30 min bookings in then the maids shut the door to the corridor meaning you needed a key card to access it. That was my signal to admit defeat and come home to open a bottle of wine. At least I made my target and got home at a reasonable time

Slow day so far. Just one booking and a lot of silly timewaster calls and texts. Another booking due later but am losing the will to live. I know it’s August but I’m getting fed up of hoping the next day will be better. It’s very hit and miss at the moment

Post by: Justine on 14 August 2018, 04:28:53 pm
I am finished for the day and what a day! 4 bookings including an hour, a 45mins and 2 halfs. That is a lot for me these days and money or no money I now would not want this volume every day.

Last Tuesday got me just one 45min booking so who knows what or who is coming next?  The only other call I got today apart from the bookings was a restricted number which I answered and told him to display his number as some claim they are oblivious it is not shown. He said he would ring right back and didn't.  Dodged a bad'un I think.

Yea in the past, like 10 years ago, I could just take pre-bookings and it was great because I could arrange my week. Now I have to just set times and switch my phone on for them and wait. I get a smattering of pre-bookings. Mind you, I am in a very competitive, saturated city and I find if clients know there are always lots of women available they don't bother hedging their bets with a  pre-book.

Its been pretty slow this week, annoying seeing as I was on holiday the week before and I'm moving ina  few weeks and need a good few weeks. Sigh.

July was very good for me and even though school holidays start in July it didn't seem to matter, even early August was ok. But last 2 - 3 weeks way less enquiries and less earnings than usual. Frustrating. I know there are quiet times and good times, just wish I could predict them better!

Had a couple of good days last week but I find here is an inevitable crap couple of days after. Yesterday was awful. I did get the calls but all were timewasters!!!!! Had another few asking about bookings later in the week then I forgot to switch my phone off in the evening and a regular popped up on the phone but it was too late to see him. Can’t be bothered working Monday’s now.

Woke up early for a pre booked client and managed an hour today but it’s been really slow since. Phone is dead.

Last booking was a week on Monday and since then everyone's either been a creep or a timewaster.

Have an hour with a reg tomorrow, so fingers crossed that happens!

So the past three days it’s been shockingly quiet for me. Beginning to wonder if there is a ‘review’ online or perhaps it’s just quiet before the weekend. Also getting loads of enquiries about my ‘prices’ and it turns out some bloody site (only advertise on AW) has my details on it which has inevitably brought a load of timewasting twats lol

The last four days have been UNBELIEVABLY quiet for me too....
don’t think I’ve ever seen it’s this quiet! I’ve had one half hour booking from a regular and that’s it. Phone isn’t ringing at all. Not even any tw’s...
Hopefully the weekend will pick up a bit.... :/
Wasn’t sure if maybe if I was having a bad few days ... but can see a lot you girls are quiet aswell :/

Fingers crossed it picks up soon !

From what others have said it’s because it’s August, it’s the time of year that people go on annual leave. The kids are of school and people generally spend there money on the family. I think it should pick up for everyone when the kids return to school. Xx

Yes, and the people who don't have kids of a school age have to pick up the work load, so there's no time for them just to pop out.

Several friends of mine and clients say they hate this time of year because of the extra workload people on leave create.

I made the mistake of touring when the football was on. Both England matches were in the week I went on tour. I was so bored and upset in a hotel I went on tinder and got a hot date and went out in London myself. Every cloud and all that.
I find featuring and touring works for me constantly moving I list my tours a month ahead and also advertise them on twitter with loads of saucy pictures. I also advertise on my work snapchat as loads of clients add me on quick add. It’s worrh having twitter. Snap. Instagram for work you would be surprised how many people check their social media on a daily.

You're right about this, I really need to get back on it with Snapchat, I have loads of followers. Most of them are never going to book, but they might buy my movie clips or a cam session.

Likewise my July was Ok and previous months consistent. August has been all over the shop, especially the end of the month. I would take it vaguely personally or at least worry about upping my game but every sex worker I know I've spoken too is having the same shit August, especially these final weeks. Makes sense, many more people go abroad or away, kids are off school so less escapology time etc etc

I am glad it is not just me affected. I was working from March to mid-April and business was great. Although the amount of calls died down steadily as more and more I lost my 'new girl on the block' status I still did well:

Mid-April to June I was not working yet when I returned in July it was tumbleweeds! As if the bottom had fallen out of the market or even worse - I was crap a what I do! That's when I started touring and was one again in demand as a new kid in town. At first I assumed it was the heatwave, then the World Cup, and then when it was still dead after the footy had finished, I assumed it was the summer hols with the family time. It's slowly picked up - and I mean slowly (1-3 calls a day and 1 client a day) but it still has me nervous. Especially as there's a glut of increased action around here - the market is getting oversaturated.

Yep when you are new to a area first month or 2 a lot of demand you have no problem doing 5 a day everyday but it does tail off to 1 to 3 a day or none if quiet even if you have regulars they will not usually build it up enough to be like it was at the start. To make more decent amount you need to tour other areas but that in itself can take you away from home and you need to be commitment free back home to concentrate on touring.

Yep quoting myself here and yep my wise woman intuition was right, first booking was a wanker no show.

Second one fine but another one who felt the need to tell me all about the menopausal wife and her lack of interst in sex. Thank the lord for change of life, it drives the men to our doors.   ::)

My phone has been all but dead for sooo long. i wish regular touring was an option for me.

quick question to those watching this thread - regarding adultwork Local Escort Search, do you guys have it on the days you aren't working? I always do it for days I'm available but I'm wondering if it might be worth it to do it on other days, as those guys might end up booking for another day? I can't afford to throw money away though so would be great to know if this works for people.

I know many do use it, I see lots in my area that use it but are not AT. But I only ever use it when I'm working though in conjunction with Available Today. I work intermittent incall days and I like the fact that I am there some days but not others rather than showing up every day and maybe not being noticed as much. Also I take most bookings on the day, I guess if you get advance bookings it may be more worth it.

This works for me but as I said others do it differently. It doesn't cost a lot though so maybe try it?

Today has been a joke so far.
Have had a client messaging me on AW claiming to be a regular ( but from a long time ago)  asking if he can still come twice in a 30 minute booking.....never offered that in a 30 min so I asked who he was if he was such a regular....still waiting for the reply.

Now despite specifying I prefer a call from a new client everyone is texting and very basic comms too not saying what time or how long. Also lots of short notice requests which unless they are literally outside my door there is no way I can see them.

I hate it when the day drags on like this as I get into a mood where I can’t be arsed anymore.
Hoping a couple of nice regulars come along and save the day lol

I decided to work today when I haven't worked a Monday in years, and now I remember why! Have had a couple of bookings, and have a couple more for later but it's just nowhere near my target. I am considering touring once a month because I need a serious cash boost right now to cover some unexpected costs, but I just took on an incall place so not really sure what to do!

Hopefully the rest of my week picks up or I am going to be in big trouble next week when I have insane bills coming out from all over the place :(

I think it really depends on which city you are in. In mine, Wed - Fri has always been the busiest for me as those are the days business men come by the truck load. Weekends are a bit hit or miss.

I've been rather lazy on my full force marketing ploy for the last month because I have been so, so busy elsewhere and it has kind of shown in the reduction of bookings, or at least the number of enquiries. So I had better pull my finger out and get back to it (but I am just so exhausted from chasing my kids around all day by the time I am child free - life eh?!).

Had a friend from Scotland and she has worked down south and london and she said she found Scotland cities to be far better as not so crowded no where near as London and lots of men on business a lot and very steady work with not as many quiet days as other parts of the country. She preferred it earned more and it was easy getting a good amount per day.

Ahh don't get me wrong, if you are reliable then you are guaranteed a good level of income pretty much any week day. But it also depends on your screening and who you are prepared to meet, I am becoming much fussier and refused 2 of my advance bookings during the confirmation call, because I just wasn't feeling it and knew I wouldn't click with them. I was also in a pretty ratty mood on Monday due to lack of sleep and other life delights!

My work of late is what I would call "steady" and am more than happy with that. Some days are dead and other days make up for it. Ideally 2 bookings by 1pm Mon to Fri would be my wish but we can't always have what we wish for in this game.

If I make my target (which is not huge) each week/month I know my savings are being plumped up and I made a pact with myself a long time ago not to let them drop (savings! not pants) and so far am doing ok.

Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: MissVix on 06 September 2018, 04:27:42 pm
I started working in March, working from home. Mondays were always in demand, Fridays less so, Saturdays and Sundays very rarely (which surprised me). Business was great up until May with 1-3 clients a day. When I first burst onto the scene, my phone was going crazy. For the first week I'd wake up to 10 text messages and a bunch of missed calls and the phone would start ringing and never stop. I had a slight dip in calls and texts the week after, and so on and so on as the weeks passed because I was no longer the new girl. And I knew it wasn't negative word of mouth because I'd only made bookings with a small percentage of those enquiring and there were no feedback on the review sites. But still, by the time I stopped in May I was getting 1-3 customers every day of the week so all was good and I was glad not to be answering calls all the time.

In May I had to put on hold until July. I didn't get many enquiries as I hadn't renewed my adverts so I didn't think anything was wrong. But then I started up again in July and all I got was tumbleweeds. I didn't know what was going on but knew it couldn't be me as there were no negative reviews of me and I had a number of regulars so I must be doing something right.

It was the height of summer, the heatwave was in full bloom and so too was the World Cup so I assumed this was the reason for the sudden downturn. And to add to this, there was an influx of service providers in my area. I found this thread and took heart in the knowledge that it wasn't just me and that my hypothesis seemed to be true.

At this point, I started touring and turbo-charged my earning. Then the last week of August picked up a bit but now it's died again. Tuesday evening I had 7 calls (all time wasters) and that was the most in a long time. At the mo, unless I am on tour, I'm getting just 1 or 2 calls a day at the most.

It's now the end of summer and the kids are back at school so I am officially nervous. There is no reason why business isn't picking up (other than the over-saturation of girls in my area in which case it's game over).

Your post makes total sense to me MissVix, my personal experience from all these last years June is always busy, July gets slower, August is better than July (however: slow too) but comes September and it's a bit of a horror show :-( Things start happening again towards the end of the month. Don;t ask me why.

Any idea why it's been dead since July (and possibly earlier as I was out of the business My & June)? Was it the World Cup, the heatwave you think? Whatever the reason it doesn't explain why things were better when I went on tour. Weird.

It's not you miss Vix. The industry dies a slow death July- August-September. Always. That's because kids have no school and people go on holidays, unless you tour in some well known holiday spot you got to be prepared for these slow months. So if you stopped in May (which is traditionally quite a busy month) then post your ad back in July I would be very surprised if you found yourself busy.

Oh I believe you. But then don't forget a sauna has a whole bunch of very different ladies and it's a a get there-get served faster type of business than an indie with a specific "niche" who works by appointment only and thorouglly screens her clients. Nothing wrong with either or, just two very different business models. So of course the sauna is going to attract a higher traffic, always.

Thanks Ana. I misread your previous post and thought you said it's ok in August. I suppose this means December and January are dead, too?

I'm assuming touring has been okay through these lean times because I'm a new face and this draws out the punters and whilst the interest is vastly reduced from what it would be in spring, I still generate enough money to beat the catatonic state back at home.

Well they are for some people, and other people will find them busy. Yet others will find them steady or somewhere in the middle - whatever anybody says about how February is ALWAYS crap and the third week of November is ALWAYS great or whatever, it's not dictated by the calendar and even if it's true for them, everybody else is different :).

August was my highest earning month so far this year, and had I not had the last week of it off it would probably have been the highest since 2015. May on the other hand was actually OK this year but is normally pretty crap if the last few years' spreadsheets are anything to go by. And without actual figures even that is completely meaningless, because my earnings will be great to some people and shit to others.

Not the first time I have posted this but no one can say one month or time of year is ALWAYS dead for everyone. I have had perfectly good Februaries and busy school holiday weeks. If they want sex with a pro they will find the time.

My books show me the evidence and it goes back several years. I can see at a glance which weeks/months were good and which weren't but there is absolutely no pattern to it at all.

Having days with the phone barely ringing keeps me on my toes and I never take anything for granted.

I've found myself to be working over the weekend, which I never do, and I am dreading it. I have zero pre-booked and I normally start my day with at least a couple booked in. The last time I worked a sat or Sun was over 3 years ago and I gave up when I seen how busy the weekdays were, there was no need for me to work! But circumstances have dictated I need to work this weekend and I am not feeling hopeful :(

I find weekends are just more hit and miss than weekdays, which in any one area I can usually bet on a fairly accurate estimation of how the day will go (bookings at lunch time, quiet spell, a few after work hours and maybe one late one if I work it) but weekends never seem to establish anything like a pattern IMO, I guess because clients are not behaving in more uniform ways as they are on weekdays (obviously not everyone works 9-5 mon-fri but I find most my clients do roughly at least).

That said I don't necessarily find them less busy but I get more young guys, international guys - basically guys less likely to have childcare responsibilities etc I find these sorts tend to be less likely to book in advance so I wouldn't worry too much about not having advance bookings. The other I used to notice is, it often 'kicks off later', as in I find bookings start to roll in after lunch. Maybe because of hangovers/lie ins etc

When i work in my city 2 or 3 a day is a good day but on tour about 6 is a good day for me, but ive had tours where ive been to a location and its been super busy with 9 or 10 ×1hr and then ive gone back in a few months and its been dead!!!! Last time i was in Heathrow it was appaling (approx 2 or 3 a day) i see that many local so it doesnt justify doing a tour and paying hotel costs for the same amount of clients. There is no pattern and no reason some tours are amazing and others not as good. We can only hope for the best

Sae here, more or less. In my base city I'd be happy with 2-3 but would want a few more than that when touring. Although these days, if I did 10 one hours in one day I think I'd need to lie down for a week with a series of bottles of brandy to recover lol...

That is true, I do tell myself to 'take the busy days when they come' and squirrel the extra money away for slow weeks, but I'm a lazy toad. Also I find though having sex with more than 4 guys in a day gets me pretty sore and I never know quite how to get passed that.

I always find that missionary position is the one that makes me sore, it's a combination of their weight on me and the fact the angle isn't always perfect and rubs the top of the inside of me and makes it sore. The best for not getting sore, for me, is me on top and you can vary that by doing reverse cowgirl. Also I love doggy and find that rarely makes me sore although everyone's different of course.

If you find yourself getting sore just be more specific on the positions you prefer.

Back on topic, this week has been God awful for me, however last week was my best ever. I made almost the same profit last week as I made in the whole of the first 3 weeks of August. July was good for me too. I don't see a pattern and I don't think there really is one, I just tend to keep going and *try* not to get stressed!

Well I was absolutely accurate in my thoughts on Saturdays, which I why I never work them! So far have done 1 hour social with a reg, which was basically a chat and a coffee. Had a hh cancel, and have one more hh scheduled for later. Have had numerous calls making appointments for next week mind you but I think I will just call it a day. I suppose I did get a chance to do some odd jobs in my flat though so it's not all wasted!
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: chocoholicgirl on 08 September 2018, 01:46:48 pm
I never ever do Saturdays, only weekdays now. But the reason is that hotels are the most expensive on a Saturday around here. Also I feel I'd get the hangover TW crowd wasting my time on the phone a lot more than in the week. Sundays are hit and miss, I've had some great ones but some shocking ones. I stick to weekdays now but even they are up and down at the moment. Always the way I guess...

There seems to be no pattern to trade at the moment.
I am amazed when I get busy on a Thursday nowadays and like you mentioned Saturdays I swerve for same reasons. Time wasters paradise I keep them on phone chat Saturday  morning is their peak time lol

I've been nicely busy this week.

I did my first ever tour too and worked in Manchester. I wasn't as busy as I initially hoped/expected but I definitely made enough and it was probably for the best as I'm a bit sore and exhausted now! I didn't take a lot of calls but the ones I did all passed my screening, apart one :) I just couldn't fit them all in due to them wanting the same sorts of times.
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: LotusFlower on 09 September 2018, 12:03:16 am
Nope, no pattern at all. Need to just take the (genuine) bookings when they arise and smuggle away some cash for the quieter weeks. Have to admit, although my experience of Saturdays is shit and I should have known better, I expected more than just one booking! Are there any cities where Saturdays and Sundays are actually good (ie, more than 5 hours worth of bookings a day) or is it just standard that weekends are very poor because everyone is busy with personal / family things???

Post by: amy on 09 September 2018, 12:40:30 am
VG, have you thought about doing Saturdays as available but for advance bookings only?

I advertise a few hours of availability in the afternoon but it has to be booked by the end of Friday, and then I only go to my flat when they're confirmed rather than wasting my weekend hanging about there on the off chance. That way I can plan my weekend and not miss out on normal weekend stuff :).

I was also finding a lot of timewasters on a weekend. So I didn't work this one, except for a regular later today.  But this is a good idea I might steal it.I'm sick of shelling out credits to show availability on these days with little return.

I started today with a booking but just had twats calling since. Yes I agree the last 3 weeks have been utter shite. I had one particularly good day and then took the following day off to chill then the rest of the week was practically nothing. Bills piling up too.

I disagree it has anything to do with Brexit. The last thing on men's minds when they are horny is Brexit. More like can I afford to spend X£'s this week or not? Then there are the myriads of men who do not have to dither whether X£ will make any difference to their budget.

I don;t think it's brexit, people are just coming back from holidays (or going in holidays as september is cheaper to travel) or realizing how much money they've spent. Things will pick up end of the month.

I think there are a million things that affect business, some we can control, many we can't. To pinpoint one thing as being the reason is naive.

Unless of course your entire clientele comprises low cost European airline pilots and cabin crew who may indeed be very concerned by Brexit and Brexit alone, then I'm sure it's not the culprit. And I'm quite sure they get paid enough to book an escort when they fancy one anyway!

The more we focus on external issues being the problem the easier it is to not change the things we CAN control. I'm not saying there is an easy answer, we run businesses and custom will always fluctuate. I'm sure T*sco's earnings vary wildly from day to day. It's about doing the best we can and taking responsibility for our own earnings, changing and improving what we are able to reasonable change. And helping each other out on here too!

Ditto - except it's been since I started up again in July.
Touring initially helped make up for it -  earning in 3 days what I used to get in week at home but now even that's drying up. I feel so hopeless.

Here's my recent run:
* Several inquiries but just 2 clients in 2 days at Leeds (27th - 29th July)
* 2 customers; 4 inquiries in 1 day at Birmingham (13th Aug)
* 3 inquiries; 0 customers in Nottingham. It was so slow and the hotel was so bad that I checked out the same day I checked in (3rd Sept)
* 2 customers; 15 inquiries in 3 days in Edinburgh. My room mate did better but still only had 4 customers (10th - 13th Sept)

What is particularly worrying is that Birmingham used to net me 4-5 clients a day and the phone would be so busy that I'd not have time to grab meals and when I set my location to Edinburgh, to gauge level of interest, I had 20+ enquiries in one day yet it was just 5 a day at most when I turned up last wee' yet both now fail to deliver.

I'm due in Leicester next Mon-Wed and I'm dreading it seeing as the bigger cities are providing meagre pickings.

Reading this thread I'm always thankful that I don't have to have many bookings to do well. I know I couldn't manage loads of bookings as my anxiety would go through the roof. I work from home so there are no overheads and I'm extremely picky of who I let through the door.

I did thinking about touring but there are costs that go with that so decided against it.

I wish you ladies who do tour a busy week  :)

For those of us who believe in the planets and their influence there is an inclement issue to do with venus that rules finances, for a couple of months.

It usually limits business somewhat but we all have our own individual fate/chart so not set entirely in stone.

I recall it was slower two years ago when venus was retrograde although we all still got through lol.

I can't work out if this is sarcasm :-P

The last few weeks have definitely been quieter for me in terms of enquiries, but still managing to meet my target thanks to the great amount of regulars I have. Last week I just took most of the week off because I had a lot of personal things to do, thankfully I had some surplus from the weeks prior. This week I have some lovely long bookings with regulars, so not putting any extra availability up. Next week seems to be picking up for me so let's see how that goes!

I spent yesterday in Leicester (was due to include today as well but I came home despite pre-paying for the room) and I'm not sure what to think. On the one hand, it's still the Summer of Hell in full swing and my 4th tour in a row to fall flat - hence me throwing the towel in and coming home early. But on the other, and unlike my recent tours, I got a ton of enquiries - over 20 texts and 20 calls in the one day from 12pm-1am - and though they were all timewasters I wonder if it hints that the market is alive and well (or just full of timewasters).

Of course it could be a cost issue. I have increased my rates to the average in my line of work even though other newbies haven't and maybe that's putting people off -  maybe because places like Leicester aren't affluent enough (I don't know, just musing) or maybe the other girls at this price range get reduced business as a result so maybe there's value in dropping my prices? The downside with reducing my prices is the impression it gives those who clock the decrease.

I find I’m busy in Leicester with young and/or south Asian guys at 15 minute bookings and sometimes half hours but rarely get longer bookings in Leicester. I generally prefer longer bookings but I don’t mind the 15 mins if I don’t charge too cheap for them and the guys don’t take the pee with the time. I think you’re right the centre of Leicester at least is not so affluent and a lot of younger people.

It’s better today.

Have had a few bookings today.
Feeling positive for a change lol....
Have a guy who is PUSHING for a booking outside
My scheduled hours. I think he is a timewaster anyway but he actually then enquired for the last available slot. I said yes. He then ‘cheekily’ ( his words) suggests I keep that hour free( as a break!) and see him at the time he originally wanted...told him where to go!

Otherwise I’m positive that things are picking up a bit. May it continue!

Frustrating on tour as today as I have literally had 6 no shows. 6. And all bar one seemed very legitimate which makes me feel like here the TWs are very practiced. I've got one more booked in, if he is another no show I am going to pull my hair out. Or do the mature, sophisticated thing and go get pissed in the hotel bar...

I've never known as many TW pricks as I've encountered this week. I feel your pain!

I left my tour a day early and I'm never going back to the destination as it's always been tricky. This week really took the biscuit though!

I went home early on Tuesday because I had a last minute cancellation which pissed me off because I'd cancelled Aquafit to do it, then loads of twatcalls (plus some nutter I'd already blocked from emailing me texting) and I felt a bit out of sorts, then woke up after a nap with a stinking cold which is only just on it's way out now :(.

I ought to pull myself together tomorrow, but I may just write it off as a crap week and have cheese on toast in front of the TV instead :).

Saturdays are generally hit and miss for me but the phone is ringing today at least so I’m going to try and keep motivated lol
Just had a query from a bloke wanting a 1-2 hr booking.
Now I don’t mind a long booking if I know the client but when it’s a new one I’m a bit hesitant to take them as I’ve had some nightmare two hour bookings where we haven’t clicked or they try and react a porn film. Offered one hour and he has refused but keeps pushing for two hours. I’ve replied back to be clear what the boundaries are and guess what he hasn’t replied lol!!!

Hopefully it’s not going to be one of those days

I think things are picking up, I have had a lot of contact today on both phone and AW despite not actually working today. It's a bank holiday here so not sure if that has given a little boost to people wanting bookings?

Thankfully I am fully booked for all of the days, except one, that I am working this week. But this is quite a change to what I had been experiencing for the last month; I regularly had to turn on my green light and hope I got bookings on the day.

I've had other escorts messing me around before, via text. But when I ignore inane texts, I've had more than one call from people who have extremely feminine voices and trying to sound male, to book me. I also had over 80 withheld calls, strangely enough after I said no to joining an agency and put the phone down. Onwards and upwards, I suppose.

Today I was getting calls but they all cancelled minutes after I text them the landmark details saying they thought I was closer, despite my location being literally all over my profile.

I feel your pain!!! I’ve had this on a few quiet days. A regular I haven’t seen in a while but keeps enquiring when I’m free next week etc and the odd one asking if I do outcalls to such and such a hotel when I don’t do bloody outcalls at all!

Today I’ve got a regular due but already had some guy trying to reschedule his booking and he has now done this a few times so I’ve just not bothered replying.
Hoping today is a good day for everybody though

I'm at the end of my tether here in Sheffield.  I'm fairly new to the area so it's not like I've rinsed the place. I've uploaded new photos, increased my advertising as much as possible and I'm feeling resentful about being stuck in the house waiting for bookings.  It's payday weekend and I've had no bookings since Thursday.  It's so quiet and it's really frustrating because I want to get stuck in.  I hope it's picked up for other ladies that have been quiet recently.

I usually get 3 bookings a day with the option of more if I stay on late.
But had loads of cancellations..
LOADS  of time wasters.

Definitely is, I had a chat with a taxi driver who said when they weather is that bad, his while business goes out the window. He said if you don't NEED to go out, you won't. He's true, weather like that and I stay in (mostly through necessity as I don't drive). I don't think even the prospect of having sex with a beautiful woman can drag most men away from their dry and warm place.

I’m touring in Leeds and I’ve done really well so far.

I was fully booked yesterday, been busy today, got a couple of solid bookings for tomorrow.

I think this is my cue to tour on a regular basis now as I was getting bookings in Sheffield but it was turning into a battle and being available thurs-sun wasn’t far off being a waste of my time!

...I'm noticing a slow down of business that is not normal for this time of the year. October has been traditionally a good month.


Same here!  (And I am definitely NOT liking it either!)
FYI, I am a touring whore and have so far covered 7 or 8 locations from the Midlands to Scotland this month.

I anticipated a rather sluggish economy in the run up to Brexit issues so I deliberately lowered my prices.

Which has helped when I do a day tour here and there but then clients fall ill, need to cancel because of work etc.  Boring!

Last day of London tour today, and for the first time it has been a total bust. I’m still £100 short of the rent, and am due to leave this evening. Not enjoying this at all.

Yesterday was great so busy.

Today phone is ringing texts coming in bookings made

All timewasters.

One guy I am reporting as I think he was trying to get my room number and he was being very strange said he was in the bar so I had to text my room number as he couldn't talk.
I refused he did not call back, so he travelled to see me and sat in the bar and did not come to see me because I would not text my room number.

Other weird stuff with him  too.

Dead today.
Getting calls from timewasters who are asking for the price when it’s very clear from my ads.
Took a booking from a bloke and gave him the opportunity on the phone to say what service he was after. He said GFE. Fine that’s what I offer. I said I would send the postcode and immediately after hanging up I had another call.  Then the GFE seeker sent an irate text demanding why I hadn’t sent the postcode. It had only been a minute since the call lol
He wasn’t serious anyway as went on to ask about extras which I don’t offer.

Then a regular who has turned into a bit of a timewaster must have called me 20 times today.
Made a booking but he kept changing the time and then confirmed and then cancelled.

Not holding out much hope for the rest of the day

I’ve been completely dead for almost 2 weeks. Haven’t used available today in that time though so hope it picks up once I use it again. I’ve recently increased my rates while many around me are offering special offers in October so that may be why, but I don’t want to decrease them again just yet as I’m already extremely low volume anyway. Hope it picks up soon, I have bills to pay :(

So a regular texts and asks if I’m working today and I say yes. He asks what time is good for me  and I say when I’m available then blank silence from him.
Another reg texting asking ‘how I am’ and then asking about a booking on Saturday morning. I once did a very early morning booking for him a while back and to be honest he was expecting the same thing again ( 7am) but I’m not doing it as I don’t live at my incall anymore.

Finally the phone has started ringing. I think I might start working later in the day coming up to xmas now

Had a client who is a bit of a regular pre book yesterday for a quickie today.
I’m usually pretty organised and not forgetful but I had a lazy morning (I do have lots on my mind at the moment) and was putting my makeup on...wet hair and the buzzer goes!
I jumped as I wasn’t expecting anyone (so I thought) then I had a frantic 30 seconds to get ready as it quickly transpired it was my prebooked appointment!
I can’t believe I forgot. So not like me either

Had two prebooked appointments for an hour each today. Have a regular booked in (he usually books an hour every other week) but he tries to overstay.
He has now said he can only stay half an hour which is fair enough (money is money) but I will make sure he won’t start overstaying like he usually does and get straight into the service. None of the usual chatting and sipping prosecco like before!

Previous timewasters ringing all morning I never bothered answering them.
A newbie came for an hour stayed longer my music messed up I thought that was a long time but the music was still playing :(
I checked my phone when he left so many calls when it was on silent.
No one ringing now.

How do they do that?
Always the phone is busy when someone is in then when they leave it stops!

Its strange because October has always been good for me. This one has definitely been quieter.

Some times to save on credits I will just pay to show my number and be locally featured in my area for £1.80 rather than pat £6 for AT.

Phone been quiet since morning but now it’s ringing off the hook!

Someone who visited a year ago saying he would love to see me again. I ask if he wants to come today and he is then timewasting asking loads of questions about my availibility for next week....agggh!
Another one who is a sometime regular but is flaky texts and says he is at the nearby tube and can he come now! I told him I needed more notice!

This weekend has been verrrrryyy quiet for me. I paid for profile feature, which normally makes my phone go crazy, and yesterday it just didn't. Got a few bookings, got a load of time wasters and "oral for £20?" texts then I gave up, went home and my phone went mad. This was from 9pm mind you so they would have all been drunk or a pain in the arse anyway.

My October has been fairly good, can't recall a curse of the October in previous years, but this week has been considerably poorer for me plus I also took a few days off due to illness.

Hopefully next week is a good one to make it up!

Absolutely dead in Ipswich today. Not one single booking! 2-3 obvious timewaster calls, but nobody sensible. Probably my quietest day ever when I've advertised as Available Today  :o

Yup, dead in Northampton as in my phone is not even bringing in the TWs!

I had 3 pre booked AW appointments so I'm grateful. I'm equally grateful I'm only here for 2 days.

NOT coming back here.

Quiet in Derbyshire today but I had 2 hour long bookings already booked in thank god.
Starting to think there definitely isn’t loads of money to be made for me in escorting anymore. Enough to be fairly comfortable but not much more

I remember 3 years ago when I first started escorting in Uk. I had a very poor looking profile, no reviews but still I made loads of money. Even the prices were higher.

Saying that I do need to make myself available more to get enough bookings. I also tend to work part of my period now. Business used to be reliably constant that I could take it off completly and have a few days off a week. Its so unpredictable at the moment.

I still enjoy it as I love having loads of time to myself. I just wish the income was a lot better like when I first started 12 years ago. It seems to get a little bit worse each year now and I’m fully expecting to have to take on a part time job in the next couple of years to supplement the income. Or really cut my outgoings down as much as I can

Diwali today and considering most of my clients are Indian I’m not sure how this will play out today.

Also just had an enquiry about cash point meets.
Basically the guy giving me his card and me taking his money. Sounds too good to be true lol

Oh and now another one asking for nuru massage when I don’t specialise in massage! Told him that and now he has replied asking what I specialise in :FF
One of those days

And another one ( again a texter who I asked to call me but didn’t )
asking if he could pay me £500 for sloppy seconds  :FF

Must be a full moon tonight lol

Yea a large % of my vanilla/GFE clients are Hindu because I live in an area that has  a large S.Asian population and Diwali is their big festival and I've not had any Hindu clients this week, which is what I expected in the same way as I'd suspect the main days of christmas to be very touch and go...

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but have a lot of friends who own their own businesses and are all really suffering. (more so than 10 years ago)
Think a combination of people spending too much in the summer; cautious about spending over Christmas; tax returns due in January and uncertainty over Brexit and the future economy; and the time of year. Also colds and flu are rife. Men suffer more, due to "man flu".
People are more likely to spend more money in the summer months when they are happier and the opposite effect in the winter months.

If we reduce our prices, we appear desperate,  and increase prices, no one will pay over the top.

I've found (so have all the sw I know) that it's getting been getting quieter and quieter every year, from summer this year it's been really up and down. Thankfully my over heads have always been minimal and I only have me to look after, if I had multiple properties/kids etc to look after I wouldn't be able to afford to with what I make doing just this job. If it stays like it is I'm going to have bow out and join the real world because the uncertainty of how the phone is gonna be one week to the next isn't worth the mental anguish (thanks anxiety)anymore. Thankfully this week has been steady (2/3 bookings a day) so my bills are paid.
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: LotusFlower on 10 November 2018, 11:07:34 am
I really think it's a lot to do with location. Ok, some days it's dead, but my "dead" would be only 2 or 3 bookings an hour or less each day. This would be considered busy for some.

Horses for courses and all that but loads of people were complaining about October, but my October was fine. No worse than usual in terms of amount of bookings but potentially less people arranging in advance with more being booked on the day. Normally I am booked up in advance so don't have to put my green light on, if I have to put that light on for a day I have advertised in advance, that's what I would consider as dead.

Really hope it picks up for you ladies who are finding it quiet :(

I am hoping it picks up this week as yesterday I had a good day.
Today seems promising as I have a regular due later and he normally leaves early  ;D

I’m currently being a little lazy and having some me time and am preferring shorter length bookings today with newbie clients......just had a bloke asking for an hour and I said only 30 mins available at 3pm and he kept coming out with alternate times not listening to me lol

Well I thought I had a booking guaranteed from a trusted regular so I was taking things a bit easy.
I understand now more than ever that nothing is guaranteed until you get the cash in your hand!

He text me this morning first thing and said he wanted to see me at the usual time. He then said some bollocks about leather trousers and how he would love to see me in them one day....
Anyhow it’s getting later and because he normally confirms at the usual time I have turned away other bookings.

At 440 he texts saying he hopes to be here at 545 but isn’t sure if he can make it but will let me know at 520!!!!!  So basically I’ve kept that window of an hour for him all day for him now to literally start mucking me about.

He also text asking if I had anything new to show him... so basically he wants me to get him horny by text to show my desperation for him to come

I told him that if someone else calls then I will proceed with that booking instead.

Won’t be booking this guy in again

Yep! Indeed. They start taking liberties! I was a bit of an idiot with this one in the past I even put myself out doing an early 7am Sunday morning booking for him once!!!!
What a mug I’ve been!

It’s annoying as you can be so positive in this job and all it takes is some silly git to mess you around and kill your mojo!

Yeah I’ve stopped bothering with rates reduction on slow weeks, because it usually picks up after a bit anyway and if someone doesn’t fancy me the small amount of reduction that I am going to be able to justify won’t sway them. As you say it just seems to encourage those who might be sniffing around actively looking for what they think might be ‘desperation’ and get their kicks out of it.

I just don't have the energy at all these last few weeks. Today I decided to stay on later than usual as I had a reg ask for a later appointment, so I advertised the extra hours inbetween when I would normally finish and the regular, which would have been enough to fit 2 hour bookings. I took one extra hh, have been ignoring my phone all day and really just want to sleep.

I wish I had the energy to keep going because I know I need to make some extra cash in these weeks before the lull hits in Dec / Jan but I just can't bring myself to do it. Am completely shattered.

I got to try again this week, but im doing a change of days so Mondays mainly as it had just been weekdays which were OK at first but I fell asleep alot as it was too quiet at home.
Friday is crap it used to be very busy.
I'd like to drop my 30min to 50 but crap comes with that very off putting. Jerks calling more than usual I did try it one day and put price back up quickly.
I don't have time or spare money to tour sadly until next March.
Anyone else experimenting with changing work days while it's quiet?

Slow in the East Midlands for me this week but I’m just about ticking along and hitting my base line target. Long gone are the days I could earn a small fortune and have loads of savings in the bank.
I think next year I’m going to look for a part time civvie job to make sure my rent and bills are covered each month. I’ll then escort on the other days for some extra cash

I'm finding the opposite today in central London. I had a lull from around 7:30 until around 11 this morning which was great as I didn't start until after 12 today (loads of voicemails and texts before). I'm having to send them back to AW. Normally I get loads of incall requests that I have to turn down, but so far I've only had one of these.
Hope it picks up for you all.
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?

Eventually got a booking for 730 and I emphasised to the guy at time of booking that if he couldn’t make it for any reason to let me know right away etc. I also gave him a time to confirm and when the confirmation time came he confirmed saying he was on his way.
I did think it was odd when he said that as it was over an hour before the booking but then again he may have been travelling a very far distance.
730 came and went. No excuse nothing. What a wind up

And this week has been quiet!!! I was fine this year year IP until the end of July. Then business just seemed to die. I really need to get a 2nd job. Can't deal with the stress!!!

Picked up a bit for me this week. Start a new full time job on Monday so that’ll take the stress out thankfully.

Is it worth doing local featured? I've never tried it as in my locality only one girl ever comes up so any chap has to go into show all local escorts to see everyone anyway

I've had the same. I've not worked the run up to Christmas before, is it usually quiet or busy? Or no quieter than usual? I'm just worried clients may have less disposable income due to spending on gifts, but I know that traditionally people have less money in January

3 days ago nothing not a penny

Yesterday over £1000

No telling what is around the corner

But yesterday was  a lovely guy - some men are so very nice - roses, dinner, drinks good company my heads confused - He was a surprise unexpected encounter into all the things im into but could not say too much as my private life is kept very seperated from my escort life.
I also think I talked too much we got on too well it was all so natural and effortless - except for having  to keep private things private

I had a week of timewasters and not one single booking!

What I noticed is Friday night very late is when they all started asking for bookings but stuff I don't do and I don't work that late anyway so useless to me.

My phone is deader than a dodo and its incredibly stressful. Got bills to pay and just can't and food I need to buy and again just haven't the money. This is bloody awful and I hope it doesn't persist.

At this rate I think we will all be in civvy jobs before the year is out! This work just ain't sustainable.

I have had a few odd weeks like that in recent months but not made quite the sum you mention! Dead phone all day then the next day and I tell myself not to worry but can't help it. Next thing boom boom and a few bookings make me smile again.

I’m only getting a couple of calls per day the past few weeks. I used to have my phone ringing non stop. Thank god for the few regulars that I have that come and see me most months or I would really be up shit creek. I’ve asked some of them why they have been cutting down a bit and all of them have said the same answer that they don’t have as much disposable income anymore.

Literally only had one booking in a week and a half now, had a few enquiries this week which got me excited but absolutely nothing has come of them.

corr this is the quietest Winter ever, for both stripping and escorting, along with webcam which is usually great during winter with cold long nights.

I’m lucky if I make £400 a week these days. I know that’s still a lot more than many people earn but the whole point of me doing this line of work was to earn a lot of money. I used to easily be able to earn 3 x that every week and never had any stress about whether bookings would come in or not.
I seem to spend half my life waiting by the phone now.

£600/800  a week is ideally what I'd like to earn, but it can sometimes mean lnger days and sometimes doing 6 days a week which is detrimental to my mental and physical health and I end up not wanting to do anything social because I'm burnt out from this. I wish I had the hustler mentality sometimes

They’ve started ringing since Monday, 2/3 bookings a day and some bookings for the weekend.

I'm working more hours of my civvy job at the moment simply because they've been offered to me and I can't afford to turn down guaranteed income.

I’m going to give it until next summer and if it hasn’t picked up then I will be looking for at least part time civvy work to supplement my income, if not full time civvy work.
The stress of the unreliability of this job is really bad for my anxiety. I would miss the freedom of not having to work long hours but it’s becoming more and more pointless doing this when it’s not bringing me the income I need each month.
I wish I had been more sensible when I started doing this ten years ago and saved a much larger chunk of money away. I was naive and assumed I would always continue to be busy each week and could afford to splurge my money away on rubbish.

I can only agree with comments that the work situation has changed drastically of late. Am doing fine because my targets are not a lot and I manage them quite well, sometimes just under and other times well over.

My weekends can be dead but Saturday gone I had done 2 half hours before mid day and that is unusual for me. I was relieved that I woke early and could be ready in time for the first one as could have easily missed out on it. I had one day last week though when my phone did not ring once. The silence was deafening!

As for new clients it is an odd one as I have met several new men lately and not many regs. That could all change at any time.

I gave up worrying or getting stressed over any of it a while back and feel much better for it.

I'm in the same area and finding this December the slowest one of my life (my phone has always rang of the hook in december, it has always my best month. This month is dead) . However i'm not taking it personal since a stock broker client told me  last week the stock markets have been heavily plummeting since may, then last week they hit the biggest drop since the crash of 2009. Now the pound dip. Consumerism in the high street in the UK has been at it's lowest this black friday/November and the high street is preparing themselves for the slowest christmas. I've been in the sex industry for almost 20 years and I'm experiencing the slowest december of my life. This is not normal at all. Of course i could double my advertising expensnes, take new pictures and tour my ass off in order to compensate, but that's not going to change the fall of the European markets, Trump's trade wars and Brexit. The decline of the economy in the last 6 months is a real fact. Apologies for sounding so gloom and doom. grrrrr... rant over.

Agreeing 100% Ana , i started thinking its something wrong with me or My profile, its the worst december so far since i started in 2014! Decembers usually been busy with incalls and outcalls.

It's worrying low across the board by the looks of things. But as I've always seen before things can change at a flip of the switch.
What concerns me the most is the deafening silence of a lot of my regs. I was begining to feel like I had suddenly become so repulsive that they had all run a mile!
 Sadly the media has such a powerful impact on people's spending habits and we are currently in the throes of so much fear mongering it's enough to make anyone's balls shrivel up inside them.
 I never save (not great I know) but I have been holding onto every penny ATM as I'm slowing down to the point of zero calls from non stop can't get rid of them scenario.

I’ve had the year from hell with so many chronic injuries and illness, barely able to work and have made massive losses.

As I can only work in a limited capacity I tend to notice the timewasters more, and boy have they increased.  In this area last week ALL timewasters, then this week 2 cancellations since yesterday citing ‘work reasons’, Christ do not book me unless you KNOW you are free, drives me crazy.

Finally one booking today, jeez.

This is really interesting and makes me feel better TBH as I know it's not just me. My last few weeks have been terrible too, worse than usual. I've only had three bookings, and one of those was a regular very late last night and way past my normal hours as I just needed the money so badly, one a guy I've seen two years ago and one new client. Only 2 hours in total and all on days and at times I don't usually ever get anyone asking for.


My trusted regular let me down for a really decent amount of cash which would've helped me a lot and we fell out but I did receive an apology but it doesn't change the fact that the money I was relying on will not be coming this month now. So now I need to just take whatever is going and stop asking for deposits in case it puts off a genuine customers and just grin and bear it if I get no shows.

Not much comfort, I know, but I think it's wise to never rely on any client or small group of clients, no matter how regular they are. I don't think about the cash until it's in my hand. You just never know when a client may drop off the face of the Earth.

It has been a joke recently... i mean this whole year to be honest, but nov and dec wa meant to be good, i am on a tour now (in a place i made bank last time just a month ago) and this time nothing, second day here had 1 booking from a regular yesterday, and today not even 1 phone call... now this is promising :(
i was lucky old regular booked me on monday for a few h!
i really dont understand why is this, HOWEVER it is not like that for everyone a friend of my (we work together often) always has 100s calls every day and heaps and heaps of clients no matter what and earning such money it is crazy, she also turns around 50% of the clients away and can be picky with them, why is she brexit/reccesion/ what ever else- proof with clients ?  and i am not ?
this question always kills me, especially when we work together she would make a good 1k (or more in a day) whilst i scramble one half h c or so, s frustrating... :(

There has been a significant drop in business for me too, and usually I'd be nicely booked up in advance. But I do remember this time last year, I am sure I actually made a loss during December or had to arrange with clients I generally wouldn't have met.

It hasn't really come as much of a surprise, this hefty lull, but I do wish I had more savings to carry me through the next few months.

Maybe I'll learn for next year?

I think this week people have less money as buying xmas presents before pay day so it can be a tricky time. I think if you're friend does very well most of the time no matter where she works i can only assume her pics and her stats how she looks is very appealing to a lot of men looking and she has the higher percentage type of what most men would like. But apart from that hard to say without comparing.

This industry has so many ups and downs then when you do earn good money for a period i suppose if you do not save for the bad times the reality hits some very quick. I think the saying " easy come easy go" fits well. The money is not always there especially if you had it good had a good spend up and then see not much coming in. Never expect or take good times like it will last.

Could be a loads of reasons why she is busier than you
Are you very similar in looks / services prices
Do you charge the same and offer same services 
Objectively has she got a better profile than you. What I mean is is hers well written, appealing good photos and more appealing to her client base
Has she got better feedback
Are most of her clients regulars as that can make a big difference between being quiet or busy
 
Sometimes it can be the tiniest thing on a profile that puts punters off .when I started I had lots of photos of me in PVC and and they probably came across as quiet dominating . I remember a client saying he wasn’t sure if he wanted to see me as the pictures were quiet dominating to him
So ever since then I have always included a wide range of pictures from latex & PVC dresses  thigh high boots,  nice glamourous sexy dresses,  pretty girly style lingerie and some selfies  So guys can see a wide range of styles that I have .

Myself and two of my friends profile are very very similar by way of services prices and photos and the way we actually price our services are pretty much identical
When we tour we often end up seeing  each other’s clients or if we happen to be in the same area then clients have said I can’t decide between you and xxx 😂
But overall our profiles seem to appeal to a lot of different types of guys not just a certain type so we are generally pretty busy or steady  even when it’s quiet like now
 
I’ve just Finnished my tour and normally it’s a place that is very very busy but it’s been slowish  I hit my target but mainly because I had quiet a few regular clients .Without them though it would have been dead

Quiet for me as well, :( yesterday I had this weirdo guy... all set for x time and he's here... then ask this stupid question, credit card or debit card :))  ( i was, wtff no way!! )  and said with a smile on my face, cashh :D  then, oo i'm sorry i thought you're an agency and accept transfer as well.
I have on my profile very clear that I'm independent and he should know that in this business most of the girls do not accept transfer.
I've explained where is the nearest ATM, 5mins  away, maximum. Then receive a call from him saying sorry but he got called from work and he can't do it anymore :))) (i was sure about this. Luckily a nice regular was in the area and saw him. thanks god )
After a couple of minutes the same guy text me that he can do 30 mins :)))  yea yea, sure i will give up my regular now to waste my time again, no way!
I can't rely on new clients right now as they tend to cancel or are TW.  :FF

I feel so crap, I barely had any phonecalls. I am on tour and charge high class rates although I planned a photoshoot in a few weeks because my pictures are not that high quality, clients were schocked when they saw me and said my pictures were very bad comparing to in person  :FF. I changed my rates by -£50 and refuse to work for cheaper as I used to work for a high class agency with higher rates, so I am stuck in the middle, no professional pictures, no website yet, but hard to convince client and make money...It gets me desperate to say the least with many, many timewasters, last minute cancellations...but I have to keep up until I get my pics done, many use fake ones (too many fall for them too, so funny) but I don’t really want to go this road...until then I am waiting, and getting tired of all that, but the service I offer is very complete and I used to get many regulars and fixed clients with the agency. Hard time to go through...hopefully it will pay off...

Since my post, it’s even worse!
My only booking of the day is late and still hasn’t arrived after 1h  :'( and became rude over the phone
I was supposed to get a one hour outcall as well and he just cancelled, fuck what did I do to deserve all that?  ???
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: ParisB on 13 December 2018, 06:52:00 pm
I think touring and charging very high rates is probably very hard to do as you need to convince guys that don’t know you to part with double the amount they would do usually. 
Whereas if your with an established agency or you have your own place it’s probabably easier to command  a higher rate .
   Maybe work out where your agency used to advertise and see if you can match their  advertising as wherever they were advertising obviously worked for them and got you work

If your getting the calls but not the work then the guys obviously like the look of you regardless if you think you have crap photos . So it probably comes down to the price

No. I'd left feedback weeks before so was only able to do a feedback only. I should have known something was iffy. We'd had a few bookings away from AW, then one week he suggested he would do a booking through there so I could have the fb. First booking was fine. Then he did it again and boom fucked me over big time.
I know rookie mistake to leave FB first but because of the first fb and he was a reg I didn't think he would fuck me the way he did. And the joke he still has me on his HL.

I only tour places  once every 3 months or so rather than once a month
I know that might seem weird but you want to keep the clients wanting you and if you are there to often then you just become the norm like the rest of the ladies that are based in that area and guys get bored easily .
The place I just left every day was actually quite quiet as it’s normally really busy but I had anything from 2 -4 returning clients each day that i worked and that made a potentially quiet tour into a decent one  And the last time I went there was May this year .
A lot of ladies visit a place and they are really busy the first time then they go back a week or so  later and they are dead . You can easily overtour a place by being there to often.

I generally only visit places every 3 months sometimes 4 months
I have a couple of places that I visit every 2 months or so but that’s because  I know that I have a fair amount of regular clients and they are also great locations with plenty of passing trade

I've had enough though. I don't think the money is there anymore like the good old days when I used to find £50 notes I'd forgotten I had. The market is now flooded? I plan on getting out next year (famous last words)!!

Some of these issues aren't just Brexit related though.  To my mind it is also a byproduct of having had the Tories in power for far too long.  Less for the squeezed middle classes and squeezed working classes.  The socioeconomic disparity between rich and poor in the UK being quite shocking.  We are apparently the fifth worst country in Europe (even though we are leaving soon) for this huge divide between the haves and the have nots.

Some Escorts charge 50 euro half hour here so some of the men expect others to do that.

Then they want a full 30 minutes and all extras for 50 euro.
 You should go over and read some of the reviews for the girls who charge 50 euro.
Men complaining she was not a circus act and did not do EVERYTHING and did not smile and seemed unhappy and the apartment was not nice there was no hot water other escorts were there in the apartment.

I think this weekend and next weekend will probably be quiet during the daytime as it’s the last weekend for Xmas shopping. Unless your in a good location on a Motorway junction
I drove from my house to my flat yesterday a journey that normally takes 10 mins and even in the morning rush hour it might be a 15 mins max door to door
 yesterday it took me bloody 35 mins because of all the stupid Xmas shoppers all wanting to get to Cabot Circus  which is right where my flat is
Although I have a 3hr outcalls on Xmas Eve with a reg and I have had a decent amount of enquiries for Xmas Eve morning as well

When I used to Tour Ireland 1 hr was around 250 -300 Euro’s an hour and you could charge more for anal /Dom CIM OWO. And you rarely had half hours bookings
Belfast used to be around £200 per hr
It dropped massively when there was an influx of escorts from other countries charging way  less which forced the prices down but the overheads of hotels and advertising stayed the same or went up

I spent a week in Canary Wharf and it was awful. So I moved to Heathrow where the hotels were a quarter of the price and now doing really well. Someone I know is in Leeds and another in Manchester doing well this week. The main thing for me is hotel price if it’s low below £80 which is possible innheathrow then I’m always ok because I charge double this for an hour. I agree with other comments that’s his Xmas there is no consistency it depends what day your about and if you catch it right when the money is there. Also agree the first week in jan is good then it all goes down hill till March.

I charge £150 in sterling I am one of the hgh chargers

Some charge a little more a lot charge way less

Many do 15 minutes

I am in a hotel 3 nights nearly £400 for the 3 nights in ROI not Dubin its is one of the most pricey so I charge more for that

Its worth popping over to the irish site to see what is being charged and for what

It’s picked up a bit in the East Midlands this week so far but it’s still not brilliant. Hoping I make my target by Friday so I can switch off for a couple of weeks

My phone was like that for 2 weeks but I added new pics and planned a last minute tour. On my second location this week and the phones have been ringing non stop. Maybe change your location?

Most bookings have come through I've hit my daily target everyday with a little more. Obviously if they were time wasters I wouldn't be advising anyone to change location. I don't want to jinx it but so far so good

This has been the worst week on record and I'm blaming Brexit.

I did one day in London: 2 clients, came home.
I did one day in Essex: 0 clients,  came home.

I've worked at home for 3 days and been run off my feet. I don't usually work from home but until Brexit is finalised in March, I'm doing just that with very short tours.

I believe everything will get better in the Spring.

I had a stonking good day yesterday Finnished on £850 by 8.30pm. But I did 2bookings before 11ak then nothing till 3.30pm.  I was seriously thinking of moving on
Today I’ve done half of that amount on only 3 bookings and two of them were regs
Phone has been very quiet  I did two by 2pm and then nothing till 8pm 😂 but I did have a nice sleep

Fingers  crossed though that tomorrow will be busy as I’ve had a fair few regs all asking about tomorrow

Busy all week in Victoria, despite Gatwick falling on it's arse for two days of it. I had a long booking on Friday evening which basically wrote off my night from 5pm onwards and when I was done my phone had been nuts.

I narrowly beat my last year pre-Christmas-week by a princely fifty quid so very happy even though everything aches and I desperately need a decent nights sleep, some proper food and a bath :D.

I don't see any problem going to the cinema on my own at any time. Very happy to do so. Eating in a cafe 100% ok too but not too comfortable with a proper restaurant as you know you are getting stared at with those pitying and questionable quick glances from other diners.

Cinema on your own is very popular i do it all the time and see many others alone.

I have taken a few weeks off need to get a little sanity back

Going through old ads and deleting ones I am still getting calls for, no one reads anything other then the phone number certainly not the fact that I tour and left town long long ago.

Happy to hear it has picked up.

Was supposed to be my first day back after Xmas and it looks like I would’ve been busy with a possible 3 bookings before 10am (2 from people seen before) and multiple phone calls even though my number and AT isn’t showing on AW today, however woke up feeling unwell so decided to rest in the hope I recover quicker! Have got 2 bookings for tomorrow so fingers crossed I feel better!

Its crazy busy here in London. Saw a couple of regulars on Christmas Eve. Lots of messages on Christmas Day and Boxing Day. Switched the phone back on Thursday and since then the phone hasn't stopped and managed to make next months income already. Still, have some bookings for New Year's Eve and Day and some random days next week, and some have happily paid a deposit especially the New Years ones. Was actually dreading things from now until March after reading threads on here and elsewhere. I'm also trying to make as much as I can now as there's a possibility I will be off for 6 weeks if surgery goes ahead around Feb/March time and I hate dipping into savings.

I prefer going to the cinema on my own. Well watching films full stop on my own. Cannot be doing with people talking through them. I'm also weird about who I go to restaurants with so at times I go on my own unless I can go with one of the few I will go with.

I can't complain today I had two hours work and an offer of more by three others who sounded genuine but decided I was going to put my health and energy levels first for the rest of the day and rest up, watch a film or two and play some piano at home.

Hope 2019 is prosperous for all of us.  :)

I’d already hit my target by night two of my tour and then a bit more so I wasn’t too fussed about my last day being quiet but yesterday I got a 1 hour in followed by a one ridiculous phone call, a no show which didn’t even surprise me and the only other person I booked in was being so rude on his texts I told him not to bother! Aside from that it was beyond dead, not even TW’s and the constant barrage of stupid messages I get whilst on tour.

Took all my ads down last week aside from AW, and took my number off there and my site.
But still, guys who contacted me before Christmas have saved my number and calling.
Never known anything like this. Posts everywhere were saying it would be slow. So financially had planned for this and thought ok take a bit of a break and just see regs who contacted me.

First few weeks of the new year were brilliant for me but I think the lull is kicking in now. Originally had 3 bookings for today: one of them deactivated their AW account, the second had to go to work and the third didn't confirm. Came to work anyway and stuck the old light on - have had one hour and one phone call that I missed. Going to be a slow day but on the positive, I was considering just taking the day off as I had nothing in place, so I am £180 richer than I would have been! Hopefully get a couple more in before it's time to go home.

Thank full my beloved regs have booked in for later in the week! God bless the regs :)

I fully agree with you. First 2 weeks of january were sheer madness and now the phones have gone quiet  ??? usually it quiets down towards the third week of Jan till end of february  ???

keeping fingers crossed.

Must try to get few this week and as I got to pay out too much.
I am having to take unsuitable callers just for the cash which I dreaded doing. Fingers crossed it's just a vibe and the 1.00pm won't be that bad
Wow crap on the phone very hot in person lucky one there!

I agree... at new tour destinanation today and usually on the first morning I have a lot of enquiries. Today only a few enquiries looks like it will be a slow day/tour... let's see how the week unravels.

My phone has been crazy busy - with every wanker under the sun  ;D

I've had a great 3 weeks prior to this but am finding the days vary so much. I've got quite a few bookings so fingers crossed its just a slow start to the week.

I did see a lovely guy I'd seen before but my mind is now on the fab food in the hotel restaurant.  :angel:

Looking back in my diary the past few years have always been pretty much the same  😂
The third week in Jan has always been pretty shit / up And down and generally the worse week of the year for work .  Work is there but compared to the last few months it feel like the guys have died and been buried  Even  what I call my WXxxx phone isn’t ringing

I had a very very very good Nov Dec and the first two weeks of jan were bloody amazing
This week is very very quiet but I expected it and I used my points to get 3 nights free and only pay for 1 night on my tour so 4 nights has cost me £65

I'll give it a  go Sunday  :-\
It's soul destroying waiting on clients when there are no bookings no regulars. Just jerkers on the phone and pointless enquiries  :FF
 Just one guy who visited twice I was greatful as you could imagine.

Thank Christ for my regs, that's all I can say! I'm contemplating staying in bed for most of today - I have a few new clients lined up but when I say "new", I mean new to escorting in general and I have a feeling they won't show up.

There must be a lot of "try something new" resolutions going around!

It has been slow for me this week but I've just churned away at my studies so feel at least a bit of accomplishment about that. I'm hoping things pick up though next because after taking a good full 2 weeks off over Christmas and then a further 2 weeks of more or less off, I could really soon start doing with the moolah. Jesus money goes so quick these days!

After an amazing start to January with lots of enquiries turning into bookings with no timewasters I've hit a brick wail.  :o

Had a few enquiries this week which seemed promising but then disappeared off the face of the earth or was unsure with lots asking if i am available this week  :FF Not had one visitor yet! And now we have snow  :FF

I've done a few direct chats to keep me occupied. Other than that I'm bored shit  less.

I've blocked more men this week so far than I have all month.

Slow doesn't even cut it. It's a freak show.

How many weeks left until normality resumes? Am supposed to have two long work days tomorrow and Fri and so far, have very little scheduled in. I usually have very little time available left when it comes to the day of work! Using all this spare time productively though by fine tuning my marketing, so not all lost I guess. Hopefully plenty of on the day appointments made over the next few days!

It is just that time of year for this business though, so we can't take it personally. It's great to see you all say that you're taking time for yourselves! <3

Turning off the work mobile today as have decided to rest half the day and the other half of the day to do business admin which is long overdue (two profiles need verifying still and I need to study the strap on that has just arrived).

Yes, I have been victim to that in the past also - dropping screening standards when things are slow. I have learned to keep to my standards regardless and if it's quiet, it's quiet. It must have been pay day today because I have been fully booked and phone going mad. Hopefully continues into next week! *Fingers crossed*

My start to the month was good (first week), since then 2 bookings only. I’m in a new area for a while, trying all the combinations of AT, local escort, phone number, and tried an offer, still nothing!

I haven’t covered my costs yet.

Yea its really not a good idea to drop standards, I just end up feeling worse for it in the long run and I'm better off just cutting back on spending during slow times. Thankfully things seem to be picking up with bookings since Friday. Peaks and troughs, as ever.

If you use a diary I recommend googling your local schools term time times and keeping note,it's not full proof but it helps with forecasting potentional dips in business,i also make a clear note of bank holidays,also helps me plan my own holidays and advertising as well.

Today is quiet in Leeds, done a half with a lovely reg and hoping for one more before I finish for the day. This week I've only had 30 minute bookings, 2 years ago I barely did 30 min bookings everyone wanted 1,2 hour bookings.

It’s actually fairly busy for me at the moment (it's been the best January I've ever had!) but there has also been a massive uptick in complete idiots emailing and flinging in daft booking requests. Can never decide if they’re genuine and just a bit thick or purposely trying to wind me up.  :FF ::)

Fuuuuccckkkk me, it's quiet!

I have made around 50% of what I normally do. Only had advance bookings this week, not a peep from a reputable client on the day even with profile featuring on. Thankfully have some lovely longer bookings but sometimes I don't mind these wee extra hh and h bookings on the day to top things up. Have only JUST hit my target, no extra for savings, it appears :(

And to make matters worse, the energy company are overcharging me dramatically by £200 a month on the tariff I agreed to. Turns out I am with one of the ones known for conning and overcharging, so they are now demanding over £700. They can whistle for it! Based on my recorded usage, I should be exactly what I had been charged initially. Fuckers.

Close call today. Some Mondays are great and others are eerily quiet. I thought the latter until 2.30pm so decided to put my coat on and go out for the afternoon.Just getting ready to depart and a longish booking came in so off came the coat and I made my daily target with that one booking. Hadn't seen him in nearly a year too!

Not only made money but saved some too as I was in a spending mood.  3 bookings in the diary for later in the week so my target for the week is in the bag. These are guys I have known ages and very reliable.

On my 5th day of a 6 day two centre tour and I can't complain.
I always find February ticks over nicely if my targets are not outrageous.
5 years in, as a touring escort, the only times I don't think are potentially lucrative are the Fridays before a Bank Holiday up until the Tuesday of the following week.

I know what you mean.. times waster are not holding back. It’s like they have a sensor for quite times that drives them to come out from their pit at times like this. Roll on March and busier times again xx

My first two days on tour were non stop! I was turning lots of people away people yesterday.

This afternoon has been very quiet. Just two unconfirmed bookings but a promising sounding one for later. Fingers crossed it picks back up in the evening.

Just had a no show.  I was suspicious in the first place as his name was Adam and in his thirties.

At least the 1 pm today for an hour sounds enthusiastic and that he will actually roll up.

Well thanks for that Juliet but I think he must have lost his bottle as despite lengthy explanations on my part of where the 3 main landmarks are en route to my home the mobile went in the middle of the conversation after he struggled to follow my simple instructions.  Nobody else gets confused however or at least seldom.  It was his first time so a bit of nerves is totally explainable. Yet his mobile went to voicemail when I tried to ring him.
imagine he got nervous and confused and just scarpered.  I must admit my tone was a bit tetchy when he was getting increasingly more and more confused about the simplest of instructions.  'Turn left at the small side street where Londis is on' was beyond him.  Hey ho!

Mobile off now and going to start again tomorrow.

After really wanting to quit and taking my profile up and down, I think I've lost trust from potential clients in the area. Yesterday I had 2 one hours and today just a half hour and a no show. This is appalling compared to a few months back when I could have 3-4 bookings a day which is tons. Bare in mind I only work 5 and a half hours a day, 3 times a week.

Hope it picks up whilst on such limited hours and days soon as its sure not encouraging me to stay doing this!

I had an absolute cracking day yesterday - was fully booked for every slot that I had but all were pre booked. Today I have 2x 3 hours which were pre booked, but I now I have a large gap in-between my next booking and my phone isn't even ringing. Weather is shit too.

So, pre bookings are still good but if I have any time left on the day, it is getting difficult to fill that time. I have loads to keep me busy anyway and yesterday more than made up for the reduction today.

Off to get a coffee and nails done I reckon :)

I’m in city of London and i was averaging 3 bookings a day but it’s the hotel prices that are savage. Then I lowered my price and didn’t see any difference in bookings so put them back up and got busier last night. I honestly believe now that it’s not to do with prove if the clients are there and booking they will book you if they want to x

Sometimes it just takes a while for guys to notice you are properly back.  If you feel you are back for good it might be worth putting something to that effect in your heading.

I’m in a new area and definately getting more interest.  I have had some numpty TWs and cancellations (always the way they have a radar if you are perceived as ‘new’).  My last area was just getting deader and deader with every month.

Fingers crossed it picks up for everyone who is slow right now. I have 2 hours this evening and I’m sooooo tired (not sleeping), not a fan of evening bookings as I find it hard to wind down, but needs must.

This has been my best week for a very long time and I have another booking tonight. Tomorrow I shall go and treat myself to something nice although I really do not need a thing. Might do a trip round Ikea  ;D ;D

I class it as a "freak week" because they are few and far between but am quite happy with my earnings these days. 
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: GG on 09 February 2019, 08:42:34 pm
I was talking to a friend earlier and it seems we both have different ideas of slow. I have been quite lucky the past couple of years and came to think of it as a slow day/week if I wasn't turning clients away because I was fully booked and because its not been like that the past 6 weeks I have been moaning that its really slow but I have just gone through my diary and surprised myself at how many bookings/booking requests I have actually had and I really should stop the fecking moaning because its down to greed. Life could be a lot worse, I could be working 9 to 5, minimum wage for a boss I couldn't stand.
So my question is - what do you actually class as slow? and if you thought about it is it really as slow as you think

Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: SimplySinful on 09 February 2019, 08:51:34 pm
It’s different for everyone.  It depends partly if you are high or low volume.

For me, due to health reasons I have no choice but to be low volume.  I client a day is fine for me or max of 2 is fine for me.

I class a couple a week as slow, but others would class that per day as such...
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: mlmcardiff on 09 February 2019, 09:31:54 pm
My pricing is at the upper end for my area for short bookings and relatively cheap for longer bookings therefore, I get smaller numbers of longer bookings across the week, so numbers of clients don’t need to be high. There is volume, then there is overall profit compared to costs etc

This week was dead as a dodo for me but the weekend has picked up massively so I’m happy. As a result of the above strategy I’ve come to expect this now though, really not being able to predict my schedule. When I focused more on shorter bookings then the general pattern of things was easier to ascertain .
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Justine on 09 February 2019, 11:53:30 pm
Just another angle to all this, I remember my first day of not a single booking and that was around 5 years ago when I had already been working for 5 years and  I thought the world had ended. Stupid of course and I had to get over myself.

I was not exactly high but much higher volume then than I am now and had huge overheads before seeing any profit. Now I am the opposite and can work far less and make more profit as my overheads are minimal. So much happier and if I get a day with no clients I don't care one bit.

A relaxed and smiling prossie is surely a lot better than an anxious and greedy one.

Yes I know what you mean, I would feel bad if 2 turned up at once.. you might pull it off though? By texting to ask them to give you a while longer as your running late? I’ve actually done it before and despite  feeling bad about it it actually worked out.. also perhaps you can just over lap rather than book 2 at exactly the same time. It’s always the way.. so quite and then 2 at once xx

One guy was trying to make it but didn't get back to me.  He sounded genuine but very stressed over the 'phone.  A timewaster tried to call at 730 am FFS.  Then another guy wanted 4 pm and I can't do that time.

Need to change location in a few months.  Intending to get flatshare in a more profitable location with a fellow escort I know. 

Once a few months of no deal Brexit has transpired I think it will be better for many of us.  Can't help all that negative media spin.

I think it's got less to do with Brexit and more to do with people receiving their staggering credit card bills from Xmas, or huge tax bills from 17/18 return, schools holidays in Scotland and let's face it; it's bloody miserable weather. It's the same every Feb that I have worked!

People are maybe being a bit more cautious due to Brexit but not enough to stop them having sex. A pressing credit card bill or other large expense mind you, very much a deal breaker.

Roll on March, that's all I can say.

Veggiegirl you are spot on with all the reasons this month is a quiet one, ever since I got into the business, I have found February to be a slow month, during March it always goes back to normal.  I have learnt to relax, take time off, and not to worry about it.
The timewasters also all come out of the woodwork this month too more than any other month for me, probably for the same reasons.

Post by: LotusFlower on 12 February 2019, 11:42:40 pm
Yes, Feb is the slowest month for me. Now, I say "slow" but still making enough to live on comfortably, just have to pad out the advertising a bit more and make myself available more days than usual.

Jan was actually very good for me, and normally isn't too bad, as people haven't been hit with the previous things I mentioned. Tax bills for self employed get issued at end of Jan, as we should all know, and credit cards bills havent been received yet, so people are still in the "ohh I'll treat myself" mindframe. Then all the bills hit and people reign it in over Feb (normally the week after pay week). This is likely to continue until March.

This is when I am so very grateful to my regulars as I really wouldn't survive without them during this period. But I have been using the extra time constructively with getting in (better) shape, going full force on my marketing strategy for the year and having my incall premises completely freshened up. Not lost time in my opinion!

Just a few more weeks ladies, stay strong!

I've been quiet for a while now. Currently using the time to find another job, but that's going slowly too!! Part of my problem (though time of year and Brexit play a part too) is that my city has been flooded with tourers the past couple of months so they have been way more girls around than usual. I stay here and can't tour sadly, so I feel like I'm being overlooked as they can see me in my city at anytime.

Timewaster central.  A guy wished to see me today 1 pm then realised it was too far to get to me in time for his schedule.

Then another guy who was due 1.15 is now looking like a no show.

Another would be client who has rung about 4 times of late is looking like just a timewaster.  I doubt he will ever get around to it.  He probably just rings escorts in his spare time to get a kick out of it while he is wanking at home.

Luckily being as it is Wednesday I hadn't planned on any work and it is just looking like it will be a nil earnings day.  I got shopping in earlier so at least that was something fruitful.

I hate when they cancel and then block immediately, I had one do that today.  I’d seen him before so agreed to an earlier meet than usual, he cancelled citing the weather, when it’s really not bad!

I think all you can do is try it.....you really have to put the hours in and it’s way more mechanical than actual meets.

I stopped doing it years ago when I realised how easy it was for sessions to be recorded and such.

Yeah that is a major worry. I think I'm just panicking at the moment to be honest. It's never been this bad and I'm seriously worried about the bills at the start of the month. I might try offering incalls at a hotel but I'm scared of not making anything and being left with a hotel bill so I'm even worse off! I seriously need to make some money next week.

I hear you, I did not make ends meet Jan (after a dreadful 2018 where due to health issues I made massive losses) and this month I’m just making even thus far......

I stopped cam because after the platform takes its cut even when I was busy, it was much harder work for much less money. I found the emotional labour of being ‘on it’ all day very very tiring with people coming in and out of your room for quick peaks and then at best stayers never staying for more than a few mins. Even when it’s very slow I prefer just to keep my energy up for when that next little ‘rush’ of bookings that always eventually materialises, comes along, as long as I am willing to be flexible on work hours. And maybe doing some marketing/blogging/photos etc. But then some people say they think of cam as a way to get credits to advertise more and try and get new clients from cam encounters, so you could look at it that way if things are slow.
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Supergirl on 15 February 2019, 07:38:46 pm
That's exactly what I imagine camming will be like. I like just have the booking then it's done. I think it might drive me crackers having to work so hard for ages to not even get close to what I'd get for a booking. I don't pay for advertising on AW as my area is very small and there's only two pages of escorts in my area and I'm always on the first page. I tried featuring before and it made zero difference. There's only a handful of us and of those only a few like me with plenty of decent feedback
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: mlmcardiff on 15 February 2019, 07:59:00 pm
Ah fair enough, the camming for credits to add extra advertising isn't going to make much sense then. 
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?

Yesss! And I was so angry because he booked me for many hours and had to decline other bookings because of him... he apologised many times, but I don't know what to believe.. ??? ??? ???

Got half term this end and rarely work it in February as it is always dead.

Try to chill it will be better from pay day next week.

Since the beginning of the year, it has been REALLY quiet for me. I don’t really get that many phone calls/ messages... not even from the annoying and time waster people 😅
There’re some days when I only got one booking or I don’t have booking at all. Is this normal? Or am I the only one who is struggling now?
As I’ve mentioned in another topic when I’ve started escorting last February, I was in part time. I’ve only done one or two days per week so that’s why I can’t really compare.

It is definitely slower, it can be measured easily. My days were normally booked up in advance and if not, the one or two booking times left would have been snatched up by lunch time. Now? I start the day with maybe only one or two scheduled in advance and then try get the rest filled on the day, but even that hasnt been happening to the extent of previous months.

I have been padding out my advertising massively so we'll see hoe that goes!

No, not VS. I advertised there once and got nothing! It is "Escort-(followed by my country)". Dont want to put details here as so few asdvertise on the site due to costs, I would be clear to a savvy punter who I am.

I've already secured 3 very good bookings from it and am wondering why I have never advertised before! It takes some faff setting it up, but seems to be worth it.

I have done ok today on tour will see what tomorrow brings.

Really sorry to hear you got robbed it is devasting when this happens. Try and hide the money where they do not see even if they have showered before turning up ask them to wash there hands so you can hide it. Leaving money on show some will steal it back as they are just horrible people who think they can get away with it because of the job we choose to do and they think we will not report it.

After a few weeks of advertising in places other than AW, and using Twitter religiously, it had been made clear to me that AW is not the be all and end all. I have received substantial amounts of bookings and have bookings in the calender for well into March.

If things are slow and you only use AW, look elsewhere. Yes, some options cost but very worth it if you research which sites to invest in.

Don't take it lying down, start hustling like the business woman you are!

Hour and half hour, both horrific hygiene wise.  :-X
Only work two days a week and lucky if I get more than 2 a day as I only use AW.

When I worked full time, had secure incall place and threw myself into marketing myself EVERYWHERE, I would get a minimumof 4 bookings a day, 5 days a week!!

Oh well. At least there's no chance of burnout now.

Yeah, I never noticed how slow AW actually was since putting ads everywhere possible. Even the last few weeks when my phone and emails have been going mad, less than 50% of enquiries have come from AW - I have been asking everyone where they found me, some surprising results actually :-P

Get out there ladies, and you don't have to pay for them all either. Some of the free ones have been directing enquiries to me too, and there's ALOT of free sites if you do a banner exchange on your website (even just make a really quick wordpress for the sake of getting banner swaps!)

When I was looking for other sites to advertise on I would look up popular escorts and then do a search for them and see what sites they were on.

I am on several directories and it is always a banner or link exchange, I don't pay for any of them.  I used to have 3 phones on the go (personal one and two for different links including AW) but it was a pain having three so stopped that after a while. New callers now are always asked where they found my number and the answers can be amusing as some seem to pluck a site out of the air in the hope I say ok.

I have got used to the fluctuation of work now. Some weeks I have made my target by Wednesday and any more is a bonus but other weeks hardly anything by Thursday then a few bookings to get me back on track. It never used to be like that but now it is normal.

I am on several directories and it is always a banner or link exchange, I don't pay for any of them.  I used to have 3 phones on the go (personal one and two for different links including AW) but it was a pain having three so stopped that after a while. New callers now are always asked where they found my number and the answers can be amusing as some seem to pluck a site out of the air in the hope I say ok.

I have got used to the fluctuation of work now. Some weeks I have made my target by Wednesday and any more is a bonus but other weeks hardly anything by Thursday then a few bookings to get me back on track. It never used to be like that but now it is normal.

I’ve noticed a huge downturn - I’m glad I’m getting out come October x

The downturn will soon pass in a matter of six months past no deal so I don't see any need to totally panic although it is disquieting.

It is a question of living cheap and cheerful in more bleak phases and keeping expenses to a minimum.

To my mind it is like a mini recession and it will pass once new deals come together between the UK and other countries.

That said it may take up to two years to get ourselves back to 'normal' but economic ups and downs are part of life sadly.

Yes, I googled my area + "escort" or any other suitable term and full lists appeared. Amazing search engine, that Google ;)

There is also a full thread pinned to the top regarding where to advertise, so there definitely isn't a shortage of sites.

I am low volume partly due to health, struggling to get enough bookings however.  I’ve found AT (I did a thread about it a little while ago as a matter of fact) rarely gets me bookings, today by some miracle it got me.....one.

A half hour and many freebie chart seekers

One asked to chat he would pay me next time i am in his town
I  met him once he was very rude overstayed and I told him I will not be back in his town for months, he still got offended when i refused to give him free chat until I was back in town.

Seems to be the fashion now to try to get free talk

I found that this February was a weird one, abnormally busy for some reason (?), but now I'm finding March a tad slower. A couple of civvie friends have gone on hols march because travelling packages are much cheaper so I wonder if there's a new pattern shift here? (of people taking stheir holidays in march because it's cheaper).

just wondering.

I'm used to a quiet couple of weeks but this is getting ridiculous! I've had to lower my rates and I'm still barely scraping by. What makes matters worse is all the time wasters!!!

Woudn't you agree it is that bit quieter since especially January. Which suggests to me that three months past end March this year things will calm down somewhat.

It is especially since January for me although still sporadic spates of income for a few days then quiet again.

RG isn't talking about touring or temporary visits though, it's her base (I think anyway). Comparing the two doesn't really work.

Since March is consistently the worst month for me, I barely bother with it now so I've got some long-needed work being done on my flat. April is also generally shite, so if it drags on a bit it'll be no great loss :)

I've been really busy, which is great and so much needed. I know April to be crap since there are 2 weeks of spring break and then the long weekend, so am pretty much taking it all off bar a few days where I know regs will book.

If it's quiet, then try a tour if possible or doing more advertising. Or get some webcam in. It would take an apocalypse for me to return to civvy  work, but that's just me :-S

Oh man. Just when I thought it was picking up a bit due to me doing ok last week after a dreadful few months. I even just started a part time civvie job just to make rent, which im also behind on.

This is doing nothing for my anxiety, just want it to be over. Annoyingly had loads of requests this weekend when I had plans, first one I've not worked on ages.

I know its part of the job, so just fingers crossed I do ok this week. I'm also putting things in place so I can do short tours, might help.

True but a few where from guys/regs I've seen before. But you do always get the ones that arent, I think some get a kick out of asking when it's obvious we aren't working in hopes we will drop everything to see them. Just to have an ego boost not to actually book.

I’d agree with that. Some of them are likely just boundary pushing and some of them are probably playing power games, as Lola has suggested.

I'm stressing today as supposed to have a two hour booking this evening - only second booking this week and he still hasn't messaged to confirm.  It's a new client too - if it was a regular I'd know if it was ok to get in touch.

I lowered my rates once for a week years ago and I didn’t get anymore bookings from it that week. What I did get though was txts for weeks after saying ‘can’t you do it for £120?’ ‘Well you were last week’

It goes to show, they saw it but still didn’t come
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: LotusFlower on 13 March 2019, 02:44:06 pm
I wouldn't lower my rates in quiet times, it sends the message of desperation to clients and then they think they have free reign to haggle and be a dick.

I used to do a special offer per month. I have stopped now and haven't lost any business. I still have the same amount of clients but all full price.

I've louvered my rates by £20 and I have to say I've had a lot more interest and more bookings. I know what people mean about looking desperate but it's only £20 and I'll put my prices up once business gets going again xx
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: MelissaS on 13 March 2019, 04:27:25 pm
I really don't think there is much good that can come from lowering your rates.

From a client's point of view, they're going to see that you've lowered your rates and then you've immediately sent their alarm bells ringing as to why they might have been lowered.

They'll probably assume you're not getting bookings in, then they'll wonder why you're not getting bookings in, is it cause your service isn't good enough or you don't look like your photos? Or do you personally not think you're actually worth your rate? etc etc. Then there's the desperation factor that VG mentioned above. You're just opening yourself up to hagglers and idiots as they know your rate can be negotiated and/or they think you're desperate. I think it's important to remember that these people are considering more than just your rate when booking.


Has anyone here ever tried increasing their rates when it's quiet?

A while back I'd been working for a good year or so before I was able to offer regular incalls, then after 7-8 months of regular incalls I started to go quiet over a few weeks, like I'd lost the new girl factor. Not dead, but notably quieter. So I put some new photos up and put my HH and hourly rate up by £10 each. Very quickly my phone was ringing off the hook and it stayed like that for ages. I did better than I had in months. There weren't any reviews go up around that time either that I was aware of that would have contributed to it and I don't think it was a coincidence either.

If you aren't getting bookings in at say eg £110ph, it won't make any difference if you don't get bookings in at £120ph, so maybe it's worth a try? It sends out a better message than lowering them!

There is actually a method in this madness - it plays with consumer buying thoughts.

I've also found that when I am busy and can't offer people appointments for a week or so, they get this absolute urge: they MUST book me. So they book well in advance. Again, it's that buyer behaviour: if something is limited or difficult to get, they want it more.

I do the exact same thing with one of my favourite restaurants - they are always fully booked unless booked over a month in advance, so I book, and I eagerly wait.

Hi! i am on Aw, my website...and lol i am low volume for choice...need to change my choices low volume do not pay rent, more i f** off some bad regular (i regret and i don t) one a 30min kind of guy..send a text and after 5min he cancel  ??? for many times in a row!
make me crazy this...of course (i guess) he was sending texts to many...first one more cheap, more nice, better than me..he take and send cancellation
if once or two was ok...happens..bt many is just boring! so lost one!
other one...a guy in therapy...depression...all time he is going to come visit me shaking! so after one year i choose to say good bye..he was heavy mentally for me to handle his mood, he was sweet but so sad all time..

so lost these source of income for my choice! i make mistake...many times i react emotionally and this is in business is veryyyy bad!
so now totally my fault! still 15 so maybe a miracle can happen!
i am not a so positive kind of girl or religious but i m starting to put myself in the hand of god! LOL but working hard and try to do some reverse booking too..
finger cross

one positive side...i m learning to eat for cheaper and count each small thing! save money everywhere..i even do not buy my favo tea anymore:( ...joking is not a big deal however i miss my tea!

Did an hour earlier today and got a 2nd guy also for an hour which is excellent both off AW.  I know he will show up as it is a formal booking so always a bonus.

Can't complain at all today.

I was busy, when I started back again.
Maybe a new profile, in the area interested a lot of punters.
Had been quiet, fairly recently, then thought about touring.
Advertised for a new area and the interest has grown dramatically, in both home and visiting areas.
Seems like a good Idea to be busy enough, is to move about, every know and again.
I expect, I will be busy and quiet at times, nature of the job I suppose.  :(

A guy wanted an hour but as he seemed stalkerish I refused and pretended I was far too busy.  Another guy came for a quickie.  Other than that just a timewaster rang.  Phone dead today.  Although Wednesday in this region often a quiet day.

Weird week
Started off slow in a place that is normally banging busy but I did ok
Got to my next place and the phone has been quiet but every one who booked turned  up so I’ve been pretty busy and went well over my target
Interesting though normally when I get to this place the tw /ns are In force
   This time I’ve not had a single one get in touch  to annoy me . the usual suspects as I call them seem to have died. That’s amazing for this area as it’s oftej known as timewaster central

 I've had a couple of really good months due to all my new advertising, and have some good bookings in the diary for forthcoming weeks. But tomorrow? Still not fully booked! I had to cancel a 2 hour booking because he refused to pay the deposit in the end, even though I specified it on enquiry - so am left with only 3 bookings and I think one of them will cancel as he is new and nervous. Thursday's are always the slowest day for me. AW is bringing very few enquiries these days.
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Justine on 27 March 2019, 03:55:50 pm
Half way through the week and my target made and more so feeling pleased but mentally tired. I have nothing else booked in this week but one man says will ring again and book tomorrow as I could not do today but last time (only time I met him) he was very quick and admitted he felt very guilty so if he cancels or doesn't get in touch tomorrow I will probably block him.

An extra couple of half hours over the next few days would be excellent.

Never known a day like today.
Been constant, non stop, even had hour bookings in the evening, don't usually work evenings.
Taking tomorrow off, but a trip to the bank first though, not having this amount of cash in my premises.
Not taking the volume of work to expectantly, it is bound to drop and doubt my body could handle the amount of bookings like today, every day I'm working.

I told reception I'm holding interviews and gave them a bogus company name. Told them to let people up. Not sure how this will work for late bookings though! May have to fork out for another hotel tomorrow. I'm going to play it by ear.

A void moon today for those who believe in astrology so generally not good for business.  April is a slow month in my experience and from the weekend where I live it is Easter two weeks school holidays.

It's been the first week off in a long time and am loving it :) of course, my phone has been going absolutely bonkers as soon as I go off on holiday - over 30 calls and 45 texts today all. Autoresponder on, not even going to look at my phone til the weekend.

It's alwayd been this way for me when I work restricted days; clients know so they book in advance. If I've ever advertised 5 days or more per week availability, i have had to rely on "on the day" bookings much more.

Bank holiday was full of idiots etc but had 90 mins today with another hour on the way if he shows up. Got another hour tomorrow followed by another 90 minutes on Thursday, so fingers double crossed they all go ahead  :)

Didn’t bother working bank holiday weekend. Always been full of idiots in my case. Except I did make an exception for a regular yesterday and gave them an hour xx

My phone is still dead in London. This last two weeks have been the quietest for me of the whole year. A horror show.

Can someone remind me please (before I loose it) when do things go back to normal (I guess the question is when do kids start school again)?

Last week was great for me. Did 7 long bookings, so not too bothered if it's quieter this week. Have two hours on Thursday with a reg.

Would still like it to tick over though so I don't get bored  :)

Super dead the past couple weeks, but I do move around by necessity so that definitely makes it slower than when I was able to stay in one place.

Just moronic TWs and even some (now Ex) regulars behaving like numpties.

Does anyone else think Adult Work isn't what it used to be for bookings? I saw someone say this on twitter and since I've been thinking how only a few come off AW messages now and most are just direct to my phone from my website... feels like I hardly use the AW booking system these days too. Has it had its day?  ??? ???

I only work via aw, it’s been slower these past few months for sure. But I’ve just revamped my profile a little and it seems to be back to nearly as busy as I’ve ever been. So for me it hasn’t ‘had its day’ as such. I hope it never does, personally.
I can’t say what it used to be like for bookings, as I’ve not been on it for too long, but I get a steady amount of bookings, earn enough, enough to survive and enough to be satisfied that this work is worthwhile for me.
That’s just me obviously though x x I know from other threads that people aren’t keen on aw so maybe people avoiding it from both sides of the coin, has meant it’s just not as popular / not the ‘go-to’ maybe ??

I decided to work from home this week and it's been steady. Not busy but not slow either. I've enjoyed the sunshine and doing chores around the house. Back to touring next week.. fingers crossed as summer months are so unpredictable.

Yes I think I could do with some new pro pics for my page tbh but I do cam and use the credits for ads back on AW, I upload a lot of self shot pics and clips too. I hope it's not had its day tho as not sure there is another site quite like it with bookings/cam/phone chat all in one place. I don't think it's as much the 'go-to' site for SW as it used to be tho, maybe cause of socal media?  ???

Hi , I need some advice ? My work just seems to have slowed right down :( meaning the clients I’m getting is less and less. Today I’ve barely had any calls? I’m touring somewhere I last came 5 months ago and did really well in last time. So it’s not that I’ve overworked it. I’ve lowered my prices. I’ve changed my pictures. I really don’t get it ? I’ve been working for over 2 years now and it’s never been like this.

Does anyone know what I can do ?  :FF

It sounds like you have already covered all your bases, Zara!  I can only offer the obvious advice: try somewhere else.
(FYI, the same happens to me sometimes; I do well in a place, come back several months later, and totally flop!)

I tour I find this all the time
Touring for me is like a yo-yo
Can not find any town I am busy in every time I go
I can go make good money then the next time very little
Some times there are many more Escorts in town or raids
Many raids in Ireland recently so fewer Escorts and fewer clients right now

Last week I did 2 hours in total (1 each day I worked) it was the worst week Iv ever had (in a place I’m usually busy too) this week I’m literally 15 mins away from where I was last week and I didn’t have time for breakfast til 6pm yesterday. Just have a play about with where you tour, you don’t have to travel miles from where your used to. Say you work Liverpool City Centre, try the airport instead and see how that goes, it’s amazing what a few miles can do. I really hope it picks up for you, it’s so frustrating when it’s slow.

In advance. Punter decides he’s suddenly that he’s  ill but somehow was still fine yesterday. Now need to catch randomers at short notice. Fucking maddening. What are your strategies with dealing with let downs?

Exactly, or wanting to see at times you’re already booked. Then cancellation comes, you got back to them and suddenly disappear or busy.

Hi Rose, Let downs, cancellations, work called me back, dog ate my homework etc....I ignore&block and I never contact or chase them. I have a reserve list if several pepes want to book that day.

Well, considering how few people actually contact during the day, not sure if I can afford fucking them off the first time around (unless it’s a no show). I tend to have a two times rule.

i do have one rule. you cancelled once then to book again you will pay a deposit. For 300 booking quite high deposit.
hate it specially same day cancellation. 24hr before too i do not tolerate. the depend how and who cancel. but always a deposit if cancellation.

Might wanna reduce my allowance to one shot. Life outside AW is busy enough, can perhaps spend that time in different ways. I noticed that too -give them the finger  and they’ll bite the whole hand. If you show compassion and tolerance, they’re just more inclined to fuck you around in the future. They are those ones who somehow always fail to make it happen but keep on telling you how much they wanna meet you. Seen a general trend and very few exceptions.

Deposits are certainly becoming more common - I ask for 50% deposit now from all new clients and they pay, or I don't see them. This has been working greatly in my favour as even the mention of deposits on my ads deter the timewasters and no shows.

I have been exceptionally busy recently, mainly with regulars as my pool or regulars is growing and growing (always a good sign). But I did stupidly decide to tour a couple of weeks ago to a nearby city, a smaller city than what I am in. God knows why I did because I knew I would have been fully booked in my own city.

I arrived at the hotel at check in time, between then and 9pm, I seen only 3 clients; 2x 45 mins and an hour, which after all costs, gave me a profit of £100. I had no bookings for the next day and my phone was just going mad with idiots so I left first thing in the morning - it was clearly a crappy tour and sitting around in a hotel doing very little was just annoying me. By the time I drove the 2 hours home, I was fully booked for my city. Lesson learned? Don't bother touring unless it is a city I want to visit for personal reasons or I know from experience that I will be busy.

Just goes to show that location really is key in business levels!

VG Whaaaaaat? WTF did you pay?

Hotel was £150 for 2 nights, plus admin fee of £30 because I had to change dates.

Return bus tickets £25, but ended up driving because I accepted a booking in the morning from a reg and couldn't change the journey time I had booked myself in for. Petrol costs, say £15? (was happy to sacrifice the bus ticket for a £250 booking)

Some food from Tesco for my room £10

Coffee on the way £4

Breakfast and coffee next morning £6

Additional marketing £40

Then I was so fucking pissed off when I finally resigned, I ordered food and 2 glasses of wine on room service £30

Leaving me a grand total of £100 profit and a headache from all the stress. Never again. Although, yes, the outlays could have been much cheaper had I not changed travel date, messed up around with bus tickets, placed extra ads then ate my body weight in room service; but I was expecting the tour to be really busy.

Girl I feel you.  I have done this so many times!

I used to try to keep my hotel costs to £70 (my half hour rate). Nowadays I try to find rooms at the £50 mark, so I only need to do one quickie per day to be in profit.

Today I'll knock it on the head at 4pm
It's been dead unfortunately.
I sat waiting in for a client dressed up I was let down badly. In the end I loose my patience. Who's going to sit around waiting for some guy who is keeping you on by texting oh I'm leaving soon then nothing. I wouldn't usually but he was a regular
I've cancelled and won't be free next time round.

Deposits are certainly becoming more common - I ask for 50% deposit now from all new clients and they pay, or I don't see them. This has been working greatly in my favour as even the mention of deposits on my ads deter the timewasters and no shows.

I have been exceptionally busy recently, mainly with regulars as my pool or regulars is growing and growing (always a good sign). But I did stupidly decide to tour a couple of weeks ago to a nearby city, a smaller city than what I am in. God knows why I did because I knew I would have been fully booked in my own city.

I arrived at the hotel at check in time, between then and 9pm, I seen only 3 clients; 2x 45 mins and an hour, which after all costs, gave me a profit of £100. I had no bookings for the next day and my phone was just going mad with idiots so I left first thing in the morning - it was clearly a crappy tour and sitting around in a hotel doing very little was just annoying me. By the time I drove the 2 hours home, I was fully booked for my city. Lesson learned? Don't bother touring unless it is a city I want to visit for personal reasons or I know from experience that I will be busy.

Just goes to show that location really is key in business levels!

I really feel for you.

My last few tours haven't been that great, one was especially frustrating as I was absolutely dead where I was but had 4 or 5 regulars contact me (in 1 day) asking if I was available in my base town! I was tearing my hair out and so close to going home as not only was I not getting any genuine callers, it was tw's galore! On the 2nd day in the end I put my phone on silent for the afternoon and just saw a pre-booked appt which was through AW that evening - who did thankfully turn up!

I can't complain my end.  I saw a 45 mins client earlier.  Another asked for an hour but I have so much life admin to do/general shite that I really need to clear my backlog of tasks today and get going again tomorrow.

Hotel was £150 for 2 nights, plus admin fee of £30 because I had to change dates.

Return bus tickets £25, but ended up driving because I accepted a booking in the morning from a reg and couldn't change the journey time I had booked myself in for. Petrol costs, say £15? (was happy to sacrifice the bus ticket for a £250 booking)

Some food from Tesco for my room £10

Coffee on the way £4

Breakfast and coffee next morning £6

Additional marketing £40

Then I was so fucking pissed off when I finally resigned, I ordered food and 2 glasses of wine on room service £30

Leaving me a grand total of £100 profit and a headache from all the stress. Never again. Although, yes, the outlays could have been much cheaper had I not changed travel date, messed up around with bus tickets, placed extra ads then ate my body weight in room service; but I was expecting the tour to be really busy.
This has happened too many times for me also.
Stuck in a hotel room with no action..  :-\

I tend to go though phases of most of my bookings being at this time, the everyone wanting to book between 9-2pm. The latter being popular lately.

The reason afternoons and evenings are busier now is with the light weather, the guys have more excuses available for being late home.

Bank holidays, plus everyone went to vote today for european elections, plus Trump engaging in a trade war with the rest of the world making european markets to fall and the pound to plummet.

no Ana, me too this week was slow if you compare to last one! however i reached my target and i worked well on cam (ahah almost 24h/7 days  ;D.. i am living like big brother). Got some booking from Tuesday and some contact that you should bring some booking! i didn t know about school holidays..lol! btw there are always some punters around with grandchildren or in retreat (mostly all my clients) or city boys...

this bank holidays was really slow, but honestly not so much TW as the other one! usually i get young late 20y old and single gents in bank holidays..this one not so much! i got my filler on the lips and i didn t miss a booking..i felt that it is was slow! ...soon magician! ahah

i am positive and i think that will be better next week for you too!
glad got a long on Tuesday afternoon! overall this month was good so i can not complain!
finger crossed! got financial goal because i want to go away or to move again somewhere! ahah do not know yet where...

It's bizarrely busy today for me. I'm not a high volume girl so have probably turned down about 5 bookings - which is unheard of! I guess it's a combination of payday and the bank holiday (essentially, today is Saturday) so go for it ladies. I would say putting AT on is worth the £5 as mine is on and I think that's had an impact too. xx

it is generally slow, many are in holidays...today maybe is payday but people just come back to work after a long weekend!
so keep patience! i know that it is hard! I done my basic week target, got a booking on the weekend too with my lovely regular! that i know is sure! but that is for the week! hoping some last minute or short notice for lunch! but many doubt! on cam was slow even this morning!

A bad week for me. I've only had 4 appts (2 hours & 2 halves) having worked 4 days out of the last 6 - maybe taking a couple of days off wasn't a bad idea as it was crappy half term!

I moved house a month ago (20 miles away from where I was based) so a semi new area and expected it to be busier TBH. Luckily I'm still getting my regulars visit (although a couple which I wanted to shake off anyway I'm not seeing so often due to the move which is fine by me) and averaging 1 new client a day. However today was the first since I've been here that I've had no bookings at all  ???

If this continues it looks like I'll have to start touring sooner than I thought I would  :(

Is anyone finding it quiet this week? I am on tour this week and it's been really quiet today and it's normally busy in this area. It was quite a good day yesterday but can't understand why it's been really quiet today. I know the weather has been really rubbish, don't know if it's something to do with that  :-[

I will be touring soon and if I find the weather is very wet I will cancel tours that week as it always affects business.

I am covering costs but very quiet this week.
There have been many raids in Ireland  yet punters haggle and want cheap from independent Escorts working alone with higher costs.
Soon only brothels will be in Ireland and raids will get the hagglers.

In Ireland buying sexual services is illegal Escorts are legal.
We can sell they can not buy.

Wow I didn't know it was illegal in Ireland

Clients in both parts of Ireland are illegal and 33 have been questioned recently.
Not sure about arrested, they have been questioned and cases forwarded for a decision on arrests is how I think it is.

A pregnant worker is in prison right now for working with a friend - charged with brothel keeping it seems.

Not 100% sure if she is in jail or given a sentence and out on bail.

It is a very recent case and I hear different stories I am trying to keep up but it is all over the internet with different versions of the same story.
2 or more working together is a brothel and arrests are made and money stolen by the courts.

Many more raids are planned for brothels

Working together to keep safe is illegal

The pregnant Escort was working with a friend

As far as I can make out she is pregnant now not when working

I will see can I find the information and do a new thread

I update and add to my p. gallery quite regularly and have a huge number of photos in there. Very reasonable rates to view but it isn't getting more than half a dozen hits in a week on average.

Workwise I am ticking over and making targets and some weeks way over but some weeks/months only just! I had a double target week last month and thought whey hey yes! You guessed it the next week was dire.

(it is not relevant to this thread but i need to share so much anxiety not having 2 id for aw)... :) this mean that i can go away...tour and holidays without worries!  :D :D :D :D :D :D


Salty! btw maybe useful even for others. Diet and exercise help a lot for hormonal system! so if you have a healthy lifestyle overall should be a good point for having orgasms nothing magic ..good healthy diet and exercise! i am menopause myself! so... i got high sex drive even if i am menopause (but i am young LOL not really...i mean to be in menopause! )

This week was the slowest in months! Puzzled. Even the two half genuine-ish calls I got hadn't read my profile and I can't be bothered spoon feeding them. 'Oh I'll read it now!' I told them don't bother, not to contact me again as if they were serious they would have taken 30 seconds to read it. Big pause...they couldn't really believe what I said.

Hey MS....good advice!

Back on topic - I think June has always been fairly quiet in the past. A lot of people start going on holiday at this time, especially those without kids which happens to be a lot of my regs. Having said that I've made a decent amount so far, so I can't complain!  :)

I only tried to work two days last week but I didn't get any bookings.  I recall last June being crap also.  A fair few gaps that month in work.

Yesterday was surprising I got two which is a lot for the 24th of the month where I live.

It was just by chance I put the mobile on show on AW and I did not use Local Search nor Available Today.

Just goes to show sometimes worth winging it just in case.

I am finding this too. As long as I average out with my target then it's ok but it sort of cancels out a fab week's earnings. Never mind am not really complaining. When the time arrives when I have no bookings at all in a week then will be time to get seriously depressed.  It hasn't happened yet!

First couple of days in a new location will always bring the local TW out - the local ladies have already blocked them years ago. If I'm ho-ing in a new location, I'll move my profile at least 24hrs before and set up an auto reply on my phone that says when I'llb e arriving. My screening is stricter in a new location. Don't necessarily get put off the location if the next couple of days are okay.

Last week I made exactly £20 under target. Previous week made exactly £20 over target.

oh and the week I made double my target, yes the following week was horribly quiet.

Only one pre-booked in the diary for this week so far but that is what I prefer. I do much rather have shortish notice same day bookings and always have preferred working this way.

July is generally very slow here stateside. Last night I pulled out my diaries from this time last year just to do a little side by side comparison,  & was horrified.

From 1 - 13 July, yes, thirteen days😮 ~ I had ONE booking. So there went all my savings of course, & I went off on tour thinking ok, it's obviously Atlanta. No. Had an absolutely terrible tour & barely broke even with the damn hotels & the travel & the eating, & just.... grrrr.

I've had a pretty good July so far & I've paid up a lot of things bc I don't want to get caught out like I did last year, smh.

I'm a little afraid to look at August's info *shuts 1 eye, peeks*.

I remember July 2017 where I did do a decent amount of bookings but when I tallied up my earnings they were not so great at all because the majority of the bookings were 15 minutes.

I guess people have to be tight with money around this time of year for holidays etc.

Slow....Two creepies who didn't work out. First was English a few feet from my door and said 'I hope you don't kidnap me....and there's loads of police vans round the corner'. He sounded perfectly fine before his paranoid outbreak . So I told him he was creepy, probably dangerous and cancelled him.
Second he swore he was 'Canadian' but I know is Scandinavian from his accent arrived 30 minutes early to the landmark, demanded to start and hung up when I said 'No, I still have a client here'. (Which I didn't).
Scandinavians are on my list of awkward unloved customers and my spidey senses were saying 'don't do him' the moment I agreed.

Two cancellations and not another call yet. Today is gonna be a loss for me for the first time ever, I think. I’ve got 3 more hours until I leave the hotel so fingers crossed I get at least one booking :(

I’m wondering if I should take the whole of the 6 week holidays off! Maybe just do outcalls so I don’t have to pay out for a hotel if no one is gonna show up!
I’ve never worked over the summer hols before so I was a little worried it would be quiet. Today is proving to definitely be that!
I’ve got an outcall tonight which will cover today’s hotel cost if no one else books. What a waste :(

Oh well, I will go and enjoy my time with the little one and get back to it after the holidays. Usually when I vanish for a few weeks all my regs want to see me as soon as I am available again so fingers crossed!

It is insanely quiet, as all business are in Summer. We're halfway through the summer holidays in Scotland and thankfully I have a few avenues as income and a fair few regulars otherwise I'd be crying right now. Marketing has been my main focus during this quiet period, and strangely alot of old regs have been in touch who dropped me once Inout my rates up last year.


I have been working alot on phone and text chat, and although it doesn't bring in anywhere near as much as escorting, it's still an extra income.

It is suggested in the marketing world to focus on tour marketing during these quiet spells rather than run away and hide until the business starts again.

Keep battling forward. Could you add something new to get the clients gaining interest again?

I added a massage and HE option, which I know wont be super popular overall, but I have already had 3 clients get in touch and ask for it since it is 2/3 of my normal rate; they have explicitly stated they couldn't afford a full meeting with me but still needed something so opted for that. I quite like it, there's nowhere near as much talking or interaction so if I'm feeling a bit "meh" it's a really good option for me.

I literally have my eggs scattered in baskets all over the place right now.

It's annoying isn't it .. most are just queries but pretend to book with no intention of arriving I found. They want postcode so I only give with booking they suddenly pretend to be interested but fail to convince me these days . I let them chat then say ok I'll send postcode and don't.

This works well and I have tried it a few times when doubting the sincerety of the caller. This morning though I tried it as was convinced this man was not going to show.  He called again for the postcode after I said I would text it but didn't.  He was genuine.  He turned up and was very very nice.  ;D

Yes I get those postcode hunters. I play with them like that too and just say yes to get rid of them lol
I've never work with postcodes for genuine callers anyway as the landmark is the tube. Couldn't be more simple.

The ones today were genuine, over stressed, desperate...almost panic stricken wanting instant contact. And that makes them a really unapealling person for me to spend time with. So I just tell them to ring back and turn off the phone. I don't want to be infected with their horrible mood.

Today, as everyone is well aware, is one hell of a hot day and doubtful we will get another day the same (I hope not anyway).

My phone has been dead except for a few really rude idiots and all asking me if I do outcalls. No, I do NOT. I make it clear on my ads and profiles its incalls only and the area I am in and yet they always ask, and where are you? Wheres that? One even had the cheek to argue that I wasn't in the area I have lived in all my life, I was more West. I think I know where I live! Asked if I was worth him travelling 55mins to see me. He got blocked instantly. What a tosser. I should of refered him to google before I blocked him to read that he was wrong and I was of course right about my location. Whoever said the customer is always right is a thick idiot.

Anyway, why on earth would punters think that any big girl who only does incalls is going to get on a sweaty bus and tube on the hottest day of the year at the drop of a hat??? Gonna be hard enough for someone driving just now but at my weight and on buses and tubes they are bloodywell having a laugh!!!

Anyone else who doesn't offer outcalls getting silly buggers calling asking today or generally being rude?

Here we go, now the prats on my blocked list have decided to try calling n bothering me. I think the heat brings out the biggest timewasters and know it all's for some reason. Not made a penny today and started at 9.30am!!! Only one quickie last night and nothing the rest of the week. Honestly I will be glad to see the back of this heat, its not good for business.

How is everyone else finding business and managing to cope with the heat? I am just laying in front of my fan and hardly moving.

Same here too in London—just dullards on the phone.
My colleague left the hotel to hang out in the sun as her phone has being dead for two days now with people giving her the run away as she does outcalls.

It's annoying isn't it .. most are just queries but pretend to book with no intention of arriving I found. They want postcode so I only give with booking they suddenly pretend to be interested but fail to convince me these days . I let them chat then say ok I'll send postcode and don't. They don't ever call back or ask for it again

Hey sugar

This time of year can go quiet. I know you have said before the industry is getting to you and you are fighting the will sometimes with cancellations timewasters etc or phone dead and wonder if you are unappealing as others do well.

Well you cannot always believe everything you hear. I knew 3 women that i knew quite well and they used to always say how well they did over other women how many tips on top they got etc etc they got the best clients etc turned out they were all lying i knew the receptionist that used to give them there jobs at the agency and they earn no where near what they said in fact they earnt less then many others.

Turns out 1 of them was not as desired as some of the better looking ones so made stuff up to make herself look busier and more successful and wanted other workers to look up to her.

So try not to think it is you we all have bad days even the prettiest workers out there with the best photos and feedback can suffer.

English green thanks for your post .
I'm not working this week I decided that sitting indoors waiting for  time wasters and inquiry callers was soul destroying.
I am sure there are ladies who are busy and some  who have no bookings at least some are genuine on here .
I'll do last day of July and first week August.
I've been getting the odd pointless email but nothing else.
I'm far to hot to care or get wound up lol !
My civvy pay was not great so I better try but my patience runs out fast ..
Shall offer iced drinks  to the rare client who turns up  :)

I wouldn't panick this time of the year is generally is more quiet, however I'm just speaking from personal experience,  it's not completely dead. Men always need sex regardless what time of the year. Have u had someone look over your profile? Your pictures? Do u offer something different? I'm mixed ethnic origin and a minority so that keeps me busy as theres not many of us around.

Try adding new pics to your profile and changing around a little bit. Good quality pics make a huge difference. Also remember every girl is different so you just have to make sure you bring something different. Some will still be busy and some won't .

Timewasters will always be there. I've stopped taking advance bookings if they have no aw profile with atleast 5 feedback, otherwise I tell them to call half an hour before the appointment. Genuine clients will call. It's one way of eliminating the timewasters.

Sugar I had the same 'hermit' problem and made my workplace a prison especially when it's slow.
My experience 'sitting indoors' waiting for clients is a horror of course you will get depressed.
You are torturing yourself. 'Sitting' makes me stale, anxious and not much fun for genuine clients who come along. I think it also shows in our voice in a subliminal way and the clients can tell we're not 'sparkling'.
Isn't there anywhere close by you can sit or walk outdoors?

Earlier this week it looked very quiet so opted to enjoy the sun then a couple of days ago some genuine bookings came through and really nice clients even postpone a longer booking the other day, to hot. Think the heat has increased the "itch" lol.
But instead of sit and wait, go for a walk as suggested or read a good book.

I agree theres a beautiful park near my work apartment with a little lake and swans.. I take my phones with me and go for a walk or sit and enjoy some icecream. When phone rings and booking comes in, it take me 10mins to get back and then 10mins to freshen up and get dressed. Waiting inside drives me bonkers.

the worst two weeks ever! punters with no manners! write an email in animal way! no grammar, no hi!...just f** idiots together!
maybe it is the weather that make them like this?
no words to describe how they are just no polite! i blocked full of punters...even some with good feedback!
i m sure that it is not my mood, this week i saw 2 regulars x 2hrs loved them a lot! at least this!


lost my motivation and hope! July not good! starting August with one of my favo client!they are gold!

some men make to hate the job! getting an email/text write well look like rare! i do not respect when they communicate with bad manners! as i m an escort, well they think that does not matter!... >:(

After the quietest day I’ve ever experienced on the first day of school holidays, I wondered if I should take the rest of the month off, SO glad I didn’t because my last few workings days after that have been great & July has been my most lucrative month in the last 11 months of work!

Fingers crossed it continues

Past few weeks have been dragging slow...but turned a corner the past 14 days and a whole new batch of 'sensible' clients are booking, no silly questions or arseyness. Since Daaahling Borris jumped in last week I've suddenly been doing fewer, but longer, high value jobs, and twiddled my thumbs in a good way. All of these new guys are from my personal sites, none from AW which is suprising. Bills can be paid now, what a relief! dunno if it's also coincidental with the tax deadline being today 31st July! It's like they were holding on to their cash and now it's time to bust a nut. The 'basic', lower budget guys have mysteriously vanished in the past 2 weeks, they were doing my head in with their stupidness. Strange.

Earned less than half what I normally earn in the location I toured in this week.  Not at all happy. :(

Have any ladies decided to stop for a while due to constant deadness..
I took my profile off my area and removed my escort services temporarily because it's starting to affect me  quite badly that I have not 1 booking or genuine caller  or any regulars .
I got some good advice so have to decide  do I revamp  for Sep or quit now.
It has triggered off depression unfortunately  :-[

Just returned from the most atrocious tour ever... phone was ringing mad.. 6 no shows in the first day. Hotel was expensive. Made £150 profit which I could have easily done from home. I packed up after the first day and came back home. Have a 2hr booked tomorrow with a regular. I think I'll work from home for the rest of the holidays. That way I can relax at home and do the things I enjoy. I won't make as much as I normally would on tour but I'm just not going to risk touring in the holidays

Yes. I’m always dead this month. Most of my regulars are on holiday. And the city I live in gets really busy for tourists so less want to travel in to me.

Best to do the odd tour here and there if dead at home.  Even 2 days away.  Just bear in mind it won't be the usual earnings if over school holidays.

I think I had been overly optimistic before this week lol.

I thought I'm not waiting around inside all day.  just put my phones in my bag went to the gym, to the park, then into town for shopping and then for dessert in the evening... it turned out to be a lovely day but It would have been better if I made some money too.

I am sure that would be greatly appreciated. If not doing this work I shudder to think how I would have managed vet bills.

Having a great week and gone over my target and another hour tomorrow with a reg so all is good.

It certainly was! She is my best friend who is one of the few people who knows where the money has come from. The bill was over 1K!  :o

do you do hotel outcalls and home visits?
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Lushblossom on 10 August 2019, 10:45:23 am
For outcalls I will go either to their home or a hotel if they are staying in one.  Not evenings nor weekends though.

I will ask for them to put a formal booking through on AW if they see my profile from there.  To not waste a journey for any no shows.

My phones been dormant I had to check it was connected properly  ;D
And usually weekends are when most calls are received. Luckily personal plans came up across the weekend but had already paid for advertising so left it to see what enquiries may be received - which was a tenth of what normally comes though.

Yes AW. It does seem unusually weird tbh. But I didn’t use AW last year so can’t judge historical business on same months on previous years just yet. Did wonder if there was actually an issue. Number is showing but will test if it’s connecting later.

I've come to Cardiff and as per usual its dead and crap. Lots of timewasters and attitude-y assholes. The worst place I ever tour with on par with Leeds and parts of central London. I only ever come here because I have things I need doing but I think in future I'll save my own breath and forego the tour bit and stay with friends.

Going on one more tour before end of school holidays next week.  3 days.  I have to come home evenings as I have a teenager son but it is usually good but in July I went and as it was holidays it was terrible.  We shall see!

I had a sweet little job at lunchtime and hung on in case any more calls. Had me mojo on so keen for more! Gave up, very few people trudging around must be peak of holidays, on my way to the shops for a snack and home, I got quad-booked for the same time ???  I always get these unexpected 'emergency' jobs when I've given up and browsing hobnobs in tescos. So just done one lengthy booking and asked the other three to contact me next week.

I totally get this. I can only manage 2 days a week (of touring). Its completely sould destroying sitting around in hotel rooms and dealing with time wasters.


I've had a pretty good week this week, it's picked up for me. Just 2 weeks of August left and then I can go back to my normal earnings x

Hello Ladies,

So I am pretty new to the world of escorting. I escort part-time whenever I can.
I have noticed it is become really slow in the month of August.

My question to the more experienced escorts here :
1. Are there any particular months to note, where the business is generally slow?
2. And from your experience, what are the more busier months?

Thanks in advance for your valuable input  :)

From my experience the winter months are the busiest... esp around xmas. You can make a killing. April onwards it gets slow. My advice work hard in the winter and put away savings for a slow summer. I find in Aigust I make enough to cover my Bill's with a bit of profit but in winter I definitely exceed that.

Also try touring and moving around the country. New areas can be lucrative (except Aug where people are on holiday and hotel prices are through the roof).

Also try more than 1 platform for advertising and dont just rely on aw. I find in summer months aw is quiet but viva street is busy so make sure you have different avenues to generate traffic. You can have your own website for less thar £10 a month if you sign up to those ready made template sites. Not brilliant for seo but they do the job if u want to advertise on directories 😘

Same here Amy July and August have been amazingly busy probably the best months  of the year
I’m off this week and back next Tuesday I have a few bookings with regs this week but I’m not really working
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: saltysweet on 22 August 2019, 12:37:53 am
I thought I had a slow July-August, but looking back it was not bad at all. I raised my basic prices £30 on AW and filtered out lots of trolls, wasters, 'angry' ones 'not sure' ones and 'ring you' later ones. They barely ring anymore and I'm happier. Troll free! I don't like to twiddling thumbs but maybe this herd of undesirable callers may change for a new crowd after the holidays. Who knows?

I also put a costly 2 hour package and a few serious players have gone for that, far less stressful negotiations and nicer clients. I'm happy with two of those a month. Plus four or so medium high jobs per week.

Actually I still don't know what's up with AW's new T&C regarding positioning on the Local Escort Search Page...and I don't really care anymore. They aren't fixing the issues, I lost interest. It's taking up too much of my head.

So now most of my work the past few weeks has suddenly been from my personal sites. 1 call=1 job. It's less work, but longer, more expensive bookings. It seems to be consistent not just a flash. So I may concentrate on updating my websites.  Now I don't miss AW at all and may just advertise 2 days a week instead of 5. Paying £20 instead of £50 expenses per week seems the right idea right.

Since I left London I’ve been flat out in Bristol. I find when I come home and just work locally it’s so much easier. The price of hotels in central London was so bad I was doing jobs but half was going on accommodation. When I get a dead period I simply stop touring increase my web cam work and work nearby it really reduces stress.

But I much prefer the autumn/winter... all apart from anything else I'm much happier to sit around inside by the phone than I am during the summer months, which I think is the main reason I generally don't do as well during the summer as the winter, sun induced laziness  ;D

Using the postcode for a school  nearby if they insist on it. Requests confirmation an hour before then they get the real postcode. They're really annoying so I like to be annoying back. ;D

Well after a terrible August I had two really good days Thursday and Friday with the 'phone ringing plenty both days.

Which bumped my income up quite nicely for a change.

I’m optimistic that things will pick up even more so now summer holidays are practically over. August wasn’t too bad; to be fair I only do two days a week and see between 6-10 over the two days. Adding another day to my week from September, so can only get better.

I recently changed my pictures thinking wow how nice I look in them hahahaa I’m laughing now but it really lowered down my confidence. What happened to the British lads ?... only managed to do a 30min booking with this Chinese guy, very robotic and weird. Had another call in the evening from this guy that sounded english but he turned out being pakistani  :FF had just put on a nice lingerie from victoria that I’ve just bought  ;D , opened the door with a big smile when this guy turned in and said : are you the girl ? I said obviously yes and he left :)) decided to call it off for the day. Need to restore my confidence and hope for a better day tomorrow.

I've had a terrible August but thankfully this week seems to have picked up. Booking Monday, then three booked for ready of week and more enquiries coming all the time. Tons of messages with no follow up mind you but better than the dead zone of the last couple of weeks.

Hopefully all these bookings go ahead 😬😬

What colour are you, CB, and where are you located?
I am black.  When I tried Heathrow at the start of my whoring (July 2015), I got the same: Asian lads turning up, saying they didn't know I was black, and then leaving. 
Given that I had photos up - like most WGs - how they "didn't know" I was black is beyond me!  In result of these experiences, I changed my user name to stress my skin colour and additionally stated in the first line of my "blurb" that I am black.
I fuck guys of all colours, personally.

 I’m  white with a medium tan,blonde, in Liverpool. Changed my pics to some brighter ones and what do you think? Phone started ringing and no asians. It’s crazy and it makes me sad in the same time to realise that you get chosen by skin colour around some places.

Firstly, what's wrong wrong with having Asian clients? Secondly, are the pictures a true reflection of you? Think that has more to do with the walkouts than the clients being Asian. I have alot of black and Asian clients never had a issue!

Hun, I like to do my job with pleasure and really don’t like it when I’m misunderstood, I don’t get along with asian people, neither do I get excited... they often look for bargains, asking to pay less, so no thank you. Been escorting Birmingham for 3 years full so I can draw a line now in what I like and do not. As for my pictures... no picture is a true on reflection of you, I don’t modify my body in photoshop, I only change the light/brightness if I consider it’s too dark/bright . Anyways, I can understand your “compassion “ towards asian people, but in the end we all get to choose what we like and what’s safe for us. I’m ok with black clients, didn’t have problems, but it’s rare I have them.

I've never had a negative experience with an Asian client.
All my negative experiences have actually been with white men. I state on my profile I do not discriminate. As long as a client is polite, clean and follows my booking rules I have no issue with the colour of their skin. I feel sorry for them when they feel they have to state their race in their first message to me as if it's an issue.

I'd guess that most of the black and asian clients you see are from the UK Sugar, at least if mine are anything to go by.

I could never tour. I did 4 bookings yesterday with 2 regs and 2 newbies and now I'm wiped out!

I have never done so many bookings in one day before. 3 is my max!

Thats typically because tourers are trying to make the most of the time there (and at the very minimum, try to break even) so they typically tend to stay available for longer hours. In my personal experience, I made less money when I toured hence the reason I stopped.

These days I have no intention of touring again. Having to do a few bookings just to cover costs then having the energy (or appearing to!) for the others so the profit figures start to grow is just not not on my agenda any more.

I had the mental and physical enthusiasm back then but today it is non existant.  Give me a booking or three on average a day and I am as happy as a happy hooker.

I'd say that's only true if you manage to keep your expenses low and see quite a few clients during the tour, otherwise hotel bills, food, transport costs etc. all add up.

I would have thought that guys on coke are just as bad as drunks. They get a floppy on & can be unpredictable behaviour wise. I had one recently (on a quiet day) asking for a 3 hour booking but I declined. I wouldn't personally want to take the risk. At best they would be extremely hard work.

Was a dragging week.but today at  Lunchtime a double booking (appointment clash) and another double booking clash planned for end of day. Dont like to refuse jobs if i can.rescedule slughtly.and give them.a little incentive. It Took bit of negotiation and swapping slots and apologies but will hustle an weave to get best value out of today.

The braindead twat I told four times on the phone yesterday that if he didn't confirm at 9am he'd lose his booking at 10am predictably failed to confirm, and then even more predictably called half a dozen times from my landmark at 9.58 to tell me he was 'here'.

Yea I find I do better staying put but I’m niche/kinky so building up good rep/advertising/regs in one area works for me whereas going to new places all the time is risky because even though I offer vanilla some guys just see all the fetish stuff and say ‘not for me’. I don’t know for certain but I think touring might work better the more of an Everyman escort you are because you’re relying more on impulse purchase punters.

Not been very lucky since school went back.  I had a regular for a 90 minute meet then spent a week feeling rundown so cancelled tours then got a flippin monthly curse after thinking after 8 months of not having them I would be spared at age 55 hey ho.

I did a day tour yesterday and it was Friday 13th needless to say all I earned was a £40 blow n go.  I think punters were too scared to come out yesterday and feeling superstititious.

A couple of other local escorts also had a crap day yesterday.

Oh well try again next week on tour.

There's some touring girls but that's normal. A lady made a thread on how slow it is in the city where I live. This is the part i hate about escorting. Is it normal? A vanilla job is looking quite promising, but how can I get out of my expensive lease, plus I owe taxes, trying to get in a position where I dont owe, plus paying tuition. How do you ladies even survive? I can't help but keep checking my ad. Am I blocking too many people? Hate it

Looks like yesterday was slow in Scotland all round! I hope it picks up for all of us who have been having a slow month - I guess maybe everyone is broke after the summer holidays.

My friend reduced her half hour to £50 as a temporary option she was so tired of the mobile not ringing!

She saw four in the end yesterday.

Trouble is I can't do a lot of traffic either at home or hotels really.  They often have cleaning staff around etc.

AW's been the pits the last 3 weeks. Only doing 2 days a week with AW now, one call a day if lucky! :o
Not even timewasters! But an increase of random drug dealers offering their finest produce.

I went to being independent a few years ago because the work in the houses and saunas was just drying up fast. Too many girls, 9 on a shift and two or three punters.
Started off good on my own but it’s all gone downhill over time.
I have had just two clients so far this month. I’ve changed my ad, adding new pics, offered special services and still nothing except time wasters.
This industry is dead. How are girls seeing 6 clients a day? What areas? Because I also notice no girls in my area have recent or regular feedback.
I blame things like tinder and other dating apps. Guys now know they can tell a woman what she wants to hear and get sex for free, maybe at the cost of a cheap meal.
I am at a total loss as to what to do next. More than anything I am bored and getting very depressed waiting for the phone to ring. It’s destroying my mental health. Is there some magic formula that those of you who are still busy can share with me?

Well I haven't been a girl for a very long time and if you looked at my AW page you'd think I never had any bookings because I don't use the stupid bloody online form (and this is equally true for most of the women I know who are busy - it's more time spent working for free when we have better things to do), but I get pretty much whatever bookings I want or don't want. I'm happy with fairly steady when I'm at home and then a few days in London every three weeks when I can do anything up to ten in a day althought the usual would be six or seven depending on booking length.

I think it's worth thinking about everything you offer/don't offer that would stop X number of people booking (so if you don't offer incalls, don't advertise a phone number, only work very limited hours, charge very high rates, discriminate against some demographics of punter or have very limited services then all of these will cost you bookings although some will also generate some) and decide whether you want to try and change any of them? I won't offer reverse oral or OWO regardless of whether it means missing out (and the lack of OWO gets me bookings from punters who don't want to see someone who does it) but I will occasionally stay late or go in early if a punter wants to book and it suits me to do so.

If you're finding you're not getting the calls to start with then it's at least in part your advertising - if you only advertise on AW it's going to be hopeless (and I would starve if I did :)) rather than you; maybe spend some of the time spent hanging about on marketing, blogging, taking new/different types of pictures? Get on as many directories as you can and even with AW you can rewrite your profile.text if it isn't doing the job?

Casual sex has existed for as long as people have and certainly as long as prostitution. Some people do one or the other, others do both or neither and there's no more reason to think it'll mean the end of the sex industry than there was fifty or a hundred years ago :)

Hi MadameK I just read your comments.

Advertising is key.

I am only with two sites, adultwork and ukadultzone.com.  The latter is ok but you must put 'on' on every day or when you are available.

I tour other areas which helps break up clients being bored with you.

Do you tour at all?  Where do you live/work?

madame K: I'm finding September to be a slow month, in fact... tradictionally septembers suck as a lot of people go on holidays because it's much cheaper. However (and sorry but have to disagree with Amy on her last post): we are going through some challenging political and economic times at the present time. If you've been in the business for a decade working like a horse and with no "life set backs" (physical, mental, family etc..) you are in much more resilient position than someone who lets say started a couple years ago. The pound has plummeted considerably in the last two years, the political and financial status quo right now are incredibly volatile, many companies are moving out of the UK or reducing staff. I know a lot of people who are not in the industry whose finances have been drastically changed because of the present situation in this country. And of course this is going to affect our industry. And yes guys are getting laid for free left and right on Tinder nowadays. To deny all the above is very naive.

The sex industry is changing very fast, a lot of guys would rather interact with women through a screen than in real life, the webcam business is booming, same with the "only fans/patreon" type of online platforms. i believe this is were the industry is heading to. Traditional escorts are changing their business model into a much more niche one. Opening a profile on AW and offering your standard services is just not cutting it nowadays, we are not in 2004 anymore.

Then of course, you always have that super hard working types who've been in the industry for a decade, had the time to build plenty of regulars, spend a lot of money in advertising and tour like a horse. They are doing well of course. Other business models who use to do well in the past are just not... cutting it anymore, and think that joining an agency is the answer, problem is that agencies are going through the same crisis too.

Oh do excuse me for using the word ‘girls’ Amy, but I do believe it’s a term used by many still even if it’s not to your liking. ‘Working girls’.
But yes in this new world of offence taking we’ve got to watch what we say.
Ana, I believe you are right. All these things have an effect. And I used to see ten a day but in the last couple years even my regs have had to cut back due to finances.
It’s anazing how other girls (sorry I meant ‘women’) like to make others feel like it’s something they’re doing wrong because apparently clients are lining up for them daily in droves. Sorry, I don’t buy that.
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: amy on 24 September 2019, 01:53:23 pm
Ana, I'm sure you'te not trying to be patronising but I think you've entirely missed the point I was making which is that we need to be adaptable, and also that just because something worked ten years ago does not mean it'll work now. That's why the people who have been in business a long time survive, because they've learned this - it's no different to anybody else who's been doing their job for decades rather than weeks or months.

In relatively recent UK history we've had two World Wars, mass unemployment, a depression and lengthy recession as well as hundreds of more minor events to blame crap business on; when I was a child we had the three day week complete with rolling blackouts and throughout all of these there were still prostitutes and punters. The people who have worked like crazy over years and are rightly successful have earned it, and it's not as if nobody now is busy as we can see from other posts. I would, however, agree about the webcamming but this has also meant a new source of income for many who find inperson sex work difficult or impossible for whatever reason.

I think there's often a low level sense of that because anybody can stick an ad up and have a go, that means everybody will make a success of a prostitution business and it's something I don't understand when it would be bizarre to suggest that applies to any other job. Not everybody is cut out to be a doctor, or a hotelier, or a teacher and most people don't have any trouble accepting that. Why then does everybody think that anybody can be a (successful) prostitute?

You don't have to excuse anything - as I've pointed out before I'm almost forty seven and the infantilising of adult women irritates me. That's a personal view, and yours is different to mine, that's all :).

100% agree with that. But in the good ol days a woman could post a small ad in the back of a newspaper and that was enough to get business. In fact.. I personally know of a retired escort who worked as an indie in knightsbridge during the 70's and 80's with one small ad on the back of the paper. Now she's retired in the costa and has a property portfolio in central London. When I tell her about my website, SEO, twitter and twatter she looks at me completely baffled because this woman use to spend 0.5 % of her energy in marketing.. My point is: There's a false perception that going into escorting is going to automatically make you a lot of money. No it won't. Unless of course you have the skills and are prepared to put a lot of hard work, and that includes spending time researching the market and adapting to the changes in the industry.

Just like any other job! tada!  ;D

And I couldn't agree more. I think we've reached the same conclusion just from different directions, that being that if you expect to earn large sums of money in a relatively short period of time doing something that requires no particular training or qualifications, the chances are you're going to have to work bloody hard for it :).

I wasn’t infantilising women. Here we go with the old radical feminists tropes.
Oh and btw, I’m actually studying to become a doctor, so I’m aware of what hard work is.
I just think times are slow for a number of reasons, and I think (I may be wrong of course) that the girls claiming to be run off their feet are exaggerating.
 But yeah, women through time immemorial have never tried to compete with each other and upstage one another and try to make other women feel inferior have they? No, evolutionary research doesn’t know what it’s talking about.

I think it's slow today because half the country is under water.

That being said it hasn't put off the timewasters and undesirables calling who coincidentally all wanted 15 minutes. One Irish guy even had the cheek to haggle the price for one of those. I said no sorry and hung up but what I should have said is FECK OFF in a Father Jack voice  ;D

If you're studying to be a doctor (bows hat to you) I imagine you don't have much time to dedicate it to running an escort business, so I can see why it's not working for you. I believe that in order to be self employed in this industry you really need to put A LOT of time and energy into it.  I really don't see this being compatible with something so energy consuming as a medical degree. Maybe an agency is not a bad idea after all, or another line of (less energy consuming) work.
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: MKX on 24 September 2019, 04:15:30 pm
Not studying to be a medical doctor, but doctor of another field.
I get my evenings and one day at weekend free and also some afternoons from 4pm.
So it’s not really a time issue. I won’t let clients dictate my times but I tell them what days hours I am available. If they can’t do those times then yes I guess that’s a bugger for me but I won’t sacrifice my future for them x

And you shouldn't (if you consider "doctor" career is more important which I'm sure you do), but any self employed business nowadays requires lots of time and energy, it's very competitive out there. And even when putting all that time and effort sometimes they will fail, and this applies to plumbing and prostitution. Creating an AW ad and expecting to get a bunch of guys walking in through the door between the hours of x and y is not realistic. I mean... you can make a few bucks but you;re really going to struggle financially. I'm sure in the good ol days this "business model" was lucrative but not anymore.

I know you mentioned on a different thread about kissing and not wanting to do it / like it
For Some ( not all) punters this can be a massive deal breaker 
also as you have limited times to work you won’t get as much as some who is available longer hrs
Do you have AT show your number and do LES or only take work by email
 From your name I’m thinking  do you offer mainly Dom / Mistress stuff which is a limited niche market

I do a mixture of GFE and Soft Dom so I get a wide range of clients not just those that want the GFE stuff

What are the other most used sites apart from AW?
Call me behind the times, but I miss the days of the trade it ads etc.

Lol Trade it that’s where I started out 😂 we are both showing our age 😂
If you want to be busy you have to put in more effort and also spend a little bit of money on advertising
if your working / studying daytime this is what I would do
Pay for AT LES and phone number every day no matter what
If you do Dom Fetish stuff pay for alternative
Get an auto reply on phone to state your available at xxx time and if they would like to book to call back after 4pm or you can provisionally book them in by text. I take a lot of bookings by text
This way you can probably line up bookings for the evenings
You have to spend money to make money and if you are not showing your number or doing AT thats probably why it’s dead for you
 Guys often don’t want to book by email they may not have an AW account they generally  want a number to ring to book and get info
Put AT first thing in the morning you will get guys looking for later in the day / evening
If you only want to do 1-2 bookings a night stick with AW and having a very good profile and also pay for the stuff I mentioned
If you want more work then you may have to advertise on other sites get your own website

I too am in the same boat and would love to start getting more bookings in the evenings and weekends. I am heavily reliant on the AW booking system as I only see members with feedback. It's like my comfort blanket. I'm outcall only too so the feedback gives me slightly more reassurance that I'm less likely to be messed around by a time waster... Or worse. Apart from the odd cancellation I haven't had a time waster yet! I don't display my number at the moment for this very reason. At the moment I get roughly 1-2 outcall bookings per week. Could I be potentially missing out on a large amount of  outcall bookings by not displaying my number? If this has been discussed previously and someone could guide me to another post that would be very helpful!

I rarely do outcalls but even if you show your number you can still ask them to book via AW
And that you need feedback
I’ve seen lots of profiles where escorts state that they only take outcall bookings via AW and with positive feedback
yes you will get idiots but as Long as they book via AW and follow your requirements I can’t see the problem
 You could use an auto reply to screen out the idiots with something like if you require a booking please place a booking request and you need xxx amount of positive feedback

Yesterday I shortened my aw ad to the bare bones so they dont have to read much. Full service and massage are now same price I bumped up fees by £40, so whatever they pick is the same fee now. Massage used to be cheaper but I was getting wally, angry, pushy calls so lets see how this goes. Sex clients seem more sane and appealing.

When it’s slow I really try not to let it stress me out, but I’m a pretty anxious person by nature. Hence why I got a part time civvy job so that I know I will earn some money every month. But then I stress about the days I’m there might have been busy escort wise!!! I’m surprised with my September, it’s
usually a good month for me and August is dead. August was ok this year and September is dead. Just goes to sure you can never be sure with this job. I just wish I hadn’t taken so much time off in August!!

And how is a big city like London ‘dead’. I’m convinced girls just say that to put off competition.

Anyway, I changed my ads, photos, rates, did local escort, another ad provider, and AT, and still did sod all! Nope, this industry is on its last legs.

Very assuming of you. Yes London is a big city, more clients but also means more girls. I don’t live there but it’s a ratio of girls to client where ever you are. I don’t think it’s an issue to this industry I’m particularly, any retail is suffering. I’ve friends in a various few different ventures. Anyways, I was dead today, but know enough about this industry that it happens sometimes. Yes my anxiety hates it, hence the civvy job.

This industry is not on its last legs at all.  Far from it. If your availability is quite limited then that could account for your lack of bookings.

I agree, not a problem for me. Occasional slow week but I think it depends how you work. I work from home, don't tour and have been here nearly 7 years so I run on at least 80% regs. They know where I am, I'm pretty much available mon-fri 10-5 will do the odd evening booking if I've seen you before, hardly ever do outcalls. So I tick over pretty constantly. Also my age - 42, so a lot of my guys are older and like the regularity of seeing the same lady. I'm not being critical of anyone else at all that's just my way of working and I'm rarely quiet. I prefer pre bookings and my regs know this so I don't have to sit around at home too much. Don't get me wrong I do get dead periods but I don't stress cause I know it'll pick up again.

Have faith ladies and look at how you might be able to change your way of working to maximise bookings.

come back to orgasms things...well i enjoy sex and having orgasms is quite nice, so for me is a job that i do with pleasure! yes, i miss orgasms because make me feel well and then it is healthy too! LOL...try to keep a balance between wealth and health! yes, with my clients i really enjoy!

I agree as well it’s def not on its last Legs’s the ladies that I know of  are pretty much always busy
You only have to look at this thread I think it goes back to 2008😂. Escorts were moaning then and nothing much has changed in over 10 years
I think overall it depends on what your idea is off a busy day and how many hours you work to get that work
I originally started from adds in the paper so my idea of busy can be completely different to someone who has only worked from the internet
 One lady might  say £300 or £500 or £1000 is their idea of being busy in a day  or it might be 2 punters a day or 6 plus a day

In 7 years of working in this I have found the economy usually reflects business.  It has its highs and its lows.

But I only recently started to tour.  So others may say different.  That was more when I only stayed at home.

Girls let's not cry, bad time pass, beside this work we can do other businesses right?
We are smart enough, great in IT and marketing.. let's use those skills.
My main rule is to keep at least 3 sources of income.
One you can f..k -up your self, other economy can change but at least third one will keep you alive. I think now business class clientele is gone, might be holiday time, weather, sickness, Thomas Cook or brexit, or even all togehter.. But I spotted one, small households have money, they might not be our clients, but we could have other businesses to make money there.

September was a slow month for me too.

Leeds/Harrogate/York all dead
Cheltenham dead

In Liverpool this week as I did ok in Warrington in August which isn’t too far away and I thought with it being a bigger city, it would have been busier... definitely not the case, barely making over £200 per day, with the very minimal bookings I’m getting- I had 2 guys with bad hygiene... only really had one client who was nice. Not too sure I’d want to do Liverpool again, as I’m not too sure if it’s the place that is bad or it’s the month ???

Heard from other girls Manchester and London have been bad too... so maybe just the month?

Hopefully today and the rest of October will be better for everyone, sometimes it’s like playing the escort lottery and it’s all about being in the right place, at the right time xxx

I have been on two tours to city of London Tower Hill and old street and it has been awful. The hotel prices for the non key carded hotels aren’t still at 250/300 per day and you be lucky to make that back I was charging £200 per hour and they were all moaning about it. I struggle to see how you make money in the city with all of the protests and brexit and anything else. As soon as I left London and went to Bristol I did amazing.

London fine for me right now. 2 x 90 mins today, and a 2 hr hotel outcall this afternoon. Tomorrow 2 x 1 hr, then an easy evening with a quick photoshoot to freshen up the gallery a bit. Enough work for sure, but phone quieter than usual.

I don't find half term affects me too much as many of my clients are too old to likely have young children (most seem to be late forties to mid sixties). I am in an area with a high population of south asians and it has been Diwali season and I haven't had an of my asian clients in this time I noticed, which has an affect on me, but thats not going to be a nationwide phenomenon.

I'm in a similar position for opposite reasons, mine are mostly young, single, kid-free for half term so I don't see much difference to the general pattern. Halloween and Guy Fawkes parties make more of a difference this time of year...is there extra uncharged sex flying about at these knees ups?  :)

C’mon ladies chin up ..... I personally can’t say I’m not ever busy. Infact not enough hours in the day. But when I do get time in between clients, I’m up loading new pics to gallery. Adding and changing my profile  then retweeting.
Clients that are regs like to see new things and freshness. Switching your profile up really does help I feel. Then when not doing this there are emails to answer. Which I like to add a personal touch to and a not just a few words to a sentence. Tx to respond to ( if you know you can) My guys like to be made to feel special. Keep your clients happy and they will return. Then there is keeping the lingerie fresh regulars like to see something different each time they see you, self maintenance, gym, nails, hair, tan, for outcalls keep your car maintained and incalls to have the place spotlessly fresh,  etc then ontop of thus run a home and all that goes with it. Housework, cooking the list is endless. I am so busy all day everyday.
I’m shocked at the ladies admitting they are lazy or that they can’t be bothered or not putting the effort in. I have heard plenty of my guys say this about other girls they have seen.
I genuinely give 100% all of the time.
So to be honest if you put the effort in. You will never have a quiet day. Plus the money that can be earned is phenomenal, no where else you can earn these figures. The more you put in the more you receive.  I do feel many younger ladies here don’t understand the effort that is required in this profession, you actually have to motivate yourself.  :)

I don’t think it’s an age thing there are lots of different factors in why one person is busy and another isn’t
If you only do a vanilla GFE service and there is nothing wrong that then possibly you won’t be as busy as someone who offers more stuff
If you have limited hours /days of work you probably won’t make as much as someone who can work 5 days
If you don’t take short notice bookings and need two hours notice you may lose work to the escorts that can take bookings with 15 mins notice
If your in an area that has lots of escorts massage parlours that can make a difference as well
   
  When I’m touring I can take bookings with 15 mins notice and I get a lot of bookings short notice
When I’m at home as I’m often not at my flat I often need more notice so I get less work
If I sat in my flat 10-7pm then I am sure I would be busy but when I’m at home I’m lazy
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: SWgirl on 26 October 2019, 11:34:41 am
So many factors are involved it’s hard to pin point specifics. We all have our way of working which suits us best. You cannot please everyone.

I’m severely limited in my working days and I know that doesn’t help so webcam for me is a life saver when my phone is quiet. I just take a chance. Sometimes it pays off sometimes it doesn’t. Lately it hasn’t with the days I’ve been able to work but I still plod a long and do my best.

It’s all risk for me but I am willing to take the chance to get my name out there. That for me is a lot of effort my side. Maybe one day I’ll be able to be more flexible but right now it’s a no go.

Keep positive everyone it will pass. Men always need us lol.

If you only do a vanilla GFE service and there is nothing wrong that then possibly you won’t be as busy as someone who offers more stuff
If you have limited hours /days of work you probably won’t make as much as someone who can work 5 days
If you don’t take short notice bookings and need two hours notice you may lose work to the escorts that can take bookings with 15 mins notice
If your in an area that has lots of escorts massage parlours that can make a difference as well

I agree with the stuff about making sure your advertising is up to date, widespread and effective, but whilst at least some of the above will make a difference, a lot of it - things like limited availablility or not being able to do short notice bookings - isn't a choice for many people (as SWG has just posted while I was typing) and I think the comments above are objecting to the suggestion that if anybody is struggling it must be their own fault for not trying hard enough. The point has been made, so we can keep it general now.

I'm sure Rudi is just trying to be encouraging and make useful suggestions - when you're not that familiar with message boards it's easy to not realise that nuance and tone are easily lost in writing in the same way they can be in texts and emails, and it's not always obvious when you're coming across as insufferably patronising, self-centred and smug rather than helpful :).

C’mon ladies chin up ..... I personally can’t say I’m not ever busy. Infact not enough hours in the day. But when I do get time in between clients, I’m up loading new pics to gallery. Adding and changing my profile  then retweeting.
Clients that are regs like to see new things and freshness. Switching your profile up really does help I feel. Then when not doing this there are emails to answer. Which I like to add a personal touch to and a not just a few words to a sentence. Tx to respond to ( if you know you can) My guys like to be made to feel special. Keep your clients happy and they will return. Then there is keeping the lingerie fresh regulars like to see something different each time they see you, self maintenance, gym, nails, hair, tan, for outcalls keep your car maintained and incalls to have the place spotlessly fresh,  etc then ontop of thus run a home and all that goes with it. Housework, cooking the list is endless. I am so busy all day everyday.
I’m shocked at the ladies admitting they are lazy or that they can’t be bothered or not putting the effort in. I have heard plenty of my guys say this about other girls they have seen.
I genuinely give 100% all of the time.
So to be honest if you put the effort in. You will never have a quiet day. Plus the money that can be earned is phenomenal, no where else you can earn these figures. The more you put in the more you receive.  I do feel many younger ladies here don’t understand the effort that is required in this profession, you actually have to motivate yourself.  :)

About to go on a long 2 week tour of the Uk with new photos and fresh offers. Will be advising all the ladies on here if I find any gold mines. I think you can do all of the above and still be set to fail but we need to encourage and support each other here.

Rudi i do not believe if you put in maximum effort you will never have a quiet day. You can be beautiful look good on photos charge a good price too and get regulars, work for years and never have a bad day? I have never heard of it or know anybody that has been in this industry for years and ticks all the boxes and is busy every single day. Putting in maximum effort of course helps but it will never guarantee you a busy day every day for say 15 or 20 years in the business not possible.

Exactly. As with any business some of your success will be about your effort, some of it will be about the market, the state of the economy, things you can't always change, as Paris says, like how many hours you can give over, your location and so forth. Also putting in 100% effort might be great in the short term, but could compromise your wellbeing in the long, same as any other job. And if when you have a slow week it does help to improve ads etc but it doesn't help to self blame or fret. Have money put aside for slow weeks and use them to do other things that give you pleasure and help you rejuvenate  :D I'd rather be slow now and then than have all of my waking life taken up in thoughts of 'productivity'.

Meh. I'm not buying it myself *shrug*. Everything goes thru ups & downs; retail, the stock market, the Dow...the list is endless. Rudi, you have some excellent points but the bottom line is ~ IMO ~ we're considered a luxury service & those are the 1st things to go when ppl are tightening their financial belts. You've never had a quiet week? Never not made a goal target you set for yourself? Never had to dip into savings bc of cancellations &/or no shows? Ever? *skeptical look*

Now girls, forgive me for asking this, you know how poor my memory is these days (I wish I was joking), but you did or did not have Backpage over there? Was it just here stateside? I'm thinking you did not.

I ask bc the last half of 2018 was a virtual nightmare here, smh. The clients didn't know where to find us, the providers didn't know where to post their ads, & I spent a good chunk of my savings simply trying to keep my head above water. Not a fun time here, I assure you. My point Rudi, is you would not have been busy. No one was.

There's too many variables here. I don't believe that any business is successful 100% of the time, 24/7 & if they are, someone's cooking the books🤷🏼‍♀️ & our IRS will soon be paying a call to them.

There's my 2 cents, for what it's worth.

We did have backpage in the UK and it was the best of best good American clients.
I do agree with you escort service a luxury there are ups and downs.
The past two weeks for me was dead as f...k which I have to work till silly hours to be saved by one coke client make up for quiet incall days on tour.

Festive season will change for us all and we be smiling from ear to ear.

This is my first year in this line of work. From what I am reading things will pick up December time. Is that the case? Naturally I would think the opposite so clients can save for Xmas gifts and parties etc.

Seasoned ladies may I ask for your opinions on this?
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Kay on 28 October 2019, 11:40:19 am
I know there's split opinions on this, but all other factors aside, I do feel Brexit and the economic situation in general is having an impact, just because both firms/employers and people are holding on to money due to the uncertainty. I have a friend in the B&B sector and he and all his local rivals have had a poor year. Another owns a bike shop and people are buying fewer, and lower priced, cycles.

A bloke can often get over the urge to punt with a wank or 5-10 minutes on cam. For anyone who's really suffering a slow time my advice would be to try and maximise your chances of last-minute bookings by being able to be ready within 30 minutes, or to take a tenner off your prices (or get them to e.g. 120 or 150 ph depending on what's standard in your area and/or the services you offer).
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: China_Grl on 28 October 2019, 01:01:01 pm
I agree with kay but  I would add something else.

You need to look at the product you are selling, is it the same as all the other, let's say 10 shaved white cats/ cars in your neighbourhood?

Or is your trim different, tinted windows, AC etc ???

The point being and no more euphemisms, be the wolf not the sheep ( ok I lied on the euphemisms)

 

Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: jellib33 on 28 October 2019, 06:48:26 pm
Yeah. I think, I'm just going to have to be make-up ready, full-body shaved to cater to clients schedules.
I had to say no to a couple clients, a big 2-hour booking last week due to handling my own personal outside of escorting appointments. I was so disappointed.

I swear, some clients, they must follow your ads, because, when I don't update my ad, that's when I get text messages asking if I'm available lol.

The world right now is pretty messed up. I know that's probably been said for generations, but in Canada, I just saw on the news, that Canadians are going into more debt than ever before just to cover basic expenses (we can thank our joke of a government).

Brexit, is pretty messed up.

Politics, have always been, but seem to be getting pretty messed up.


I also, need to pay more attention to the effort I am putting in when clients do book. I'll admit, I haven't been really into it. I've been treating it more like a job, same lingerie (although I do change but I keep the same handful that I wear because they are easy to take on and off lol). So, I will make sure I can do that. It just gets hard sometimes lol, but you are right you have to pretend to be into it even if you aren't unfortunately lol.

I still don't like the concept of posting new pictures all the time. I feel like this might ruin the mystery of meeting you in person. Plus, I don't want a bunch of freeloaders jerking off to my pictures and never coming to visit. Twitter, current pics, etc. seem to work for some ladies though. I guess I'm just not creative lol. It's like come on, just come see me, you will not be disappointed.

I remember the back page days. That was when I first started, around 3 years ago. I truly miss it. Big traffic with back page. Leolist is okay. But again, having a very slow, painful day. I will never understand why it's so god damn expensive to live in Canada when *surprise* there is nothing here LOL. Fuck, some people that live here are nothing but a bunch of cry babies I swear.

I mean, overall, things are ok. Lately, I've been thinking that it's good to take a step back and not let money consume me. "If you have a roof over your head, clean water to drink" blah, blah, blah, but, I mean, I guess it is true, some of us are more lucky than we think.

Uuurgh having a terrible week so far with being messed around. Starting to proper panic about Christmas now. Got a two hour booking with a regular later on in the week and absolutely terrified he's going to cancel. He's normally very reliable so should be fine but if for any reason he does I'm going to be seriously worried. Anytime else having a slow one? Pray it bucks up!!

I just try my luck on Craigslist now and again when it is dead.  Under Services and Small Business Ads.  I state Massage with a few asterisks so it isn't obvious and don't give number or photo or mention fees/prices just ask them to email for details.  I make sure I give my hotmail email and not get them to go via the Craigslist system.

Touch wood seems to be helping as it is dead on AW this week for me but have some regulars ...

I’ve been in Manchester all week and you will see my time waster posts on wasters thread. I’ve had so many and they sound so genuine on the phone. I don’t understand their motivation for calling and booking and then some did it twice in the same day. I’m moving locations today to Leeds I shall report back if busy. YORK was ok and also Nottingham if anyone wants somewhere to move to to earn.

I’m running into debt and am worried I’ll lose roof over my head.

I’ve stopped going to central London the hotel prices are awful. That along with the lack of custom i wasn’t feeling it. This time last year I did super well there. I feel when it gets quiet to stay closer to home and to keep the costs of everything down until you build your float back up. Everyone thinks the streets are paved with gold in London but I think it’s much easier to work in smaller places with less girls. Xx

Only 2 short bookings for me this week with a 2 hour regular later on today. But I've also had a hell of a lot of twattish hagglers and timewasters and 'enquiries' that never go anywhere ::)

I agree my goodness so many timewasters

It is awfully quiet for me today.  Usually I finish a booking on a Monday and expect to see a good handful of clients trying to book.

Did a half hour booking and after that nothing.  No texts nothing.

I think it’s awful at the moment. From now until Christmas is usually my busiest time of year. At the moment I’m getting a couple of bookings a day but nothing close to what I would expect. It seems to be like this for a lot of girls at the moment which is worrying

It is a long time ago that I had the phone ringing many times a day but that doesn't bother me at all. As long as one/two calls a day are bookings that is all I want.

Having said that I have not answered 4 calls so far since yesterday morning as they were in my phone under a not very complimentary title.  >:D

With huge expense for most people at this time of year it's only really the hardcore regulars who see me. Luckily, with my main alternate job, I don't rely on my escorting money to pay the bills.

I’ve started my weekly tour in HEATHROW and never had so many book and cancel in the same day. Everyone claiming to have flu. Should of seen the signs there aren’t many girls working. They obviously had enough and cleared off. I really think where ever you are working don’t take offence if it’s slow. We are all feeling the pinch. Just have to get what you can.

The last two weeks were slow slow slow for me! Last year I worked agency and it was the busiest months (Nov/Dec) but now I’m Indy and I was getting a bit demotivated! Luckily this week it’s been picking up, hopefully for everyone else too. I’m not walking into the day with tons of prebookings, but today and yesterday turned out great with last minute/same day. I still remember how quiet January is so am trying to prepare and save up!

It is obvious that the ups and downs of earnings in general reflect the UK and even world economy.
 
Hopefully more stability slowly soon now the US and China have begun trading with each other again which has been affecting global markets this year.

In seven years of doing this job I have noticed the economy fluctuations always affect business.

Since the referendum things haven't been so good.  Not sure if leaving Europe end Jan will help in the immediate future but hopefully things will stabilise fairly soon .....  We hope!

Hey ho.

Telephone not ringing.  Wed it was after 2 pm before it rang.  I was sick two days Mon and Thurs then Friday I only made £70.

Two different types of walkout yesterday and today. But they all paid for the non pleasure. Nervous newbies, the undecided and clueless coming out to not play at Xmas. It's possible to make a living from walkouts as they're pretty quick!

These past two years the run up to Christmas has been like a magnet for time wasters.
I’ve even found my regulars seem to mess me about in the weeks up to Christmas.
I don’t know why people can’t just stick to a time. It’s like ‘I’ll let you know’ - to keep you hanging and then either radio silence or last minute ‘sorry, can’t make it now’.
Time wasting gets worse in the months where they know you want to make some more money.
I really do hope their Christmas tree blows up or that they have a miserable one.
Schadenfreude.

Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: samcas on 05 January 2020, 03:06:24 pm
Very busy where I am too.
My theory is that it is mostly married guys who have had Xmas time off work to relax whilst their wives and partners cooked, cleaned, shopped and entertained kids and inlaws which flattens the wives sex drives - cus they are knackered and wives feel un-sexily bloated from over eating. Eating lots of chocolate also gives women thrush at Xmas - cancelling sex. The men then get sex starved look at porn /AW and can't even have a wank in peace (kids, wife and mother in law in their house) ...... it then boils over and they have to find an escort for some decent sex.
A lot of my regular clients are married and tell me that they have sex with their wives but not often enough for their sex drives. Demand always seems like double the normal level in the first 2 weeks of Jan. I think men feel like having themselves a belated Xmas present to themselves.
Bring it on - I need the cash!

Hi I used to advertise with Eros etc. And I had my website too, unfortunately not many bookings had to joined agency’s and that helps me a lot.

Hi Bella88

Eros is expensive to advertise with, and I noticed number of ads there for London escorts have dwindled. Must be because they are slow and expensive- not a good sign.

What are your rates if I may ask? I find that clients are becoming tighter with money. Not as easy to start off as a new escort without reviews charging more than £200 an hour.

If you got some regulars already, could you ask them to write a review for you? There’s a well known UK reviews site which is quite awful at times but many local clients in London areas use it.

I do outcalls only in London. It has been quiet this week - 1 booking so far. Many regular clients still away on holidays/January tax to pay I suppose.

My fees are £130 an hour outcall, see about 4-6 clients average a week. My services are so basic - a nice chat, vanilla positions, more chat or back massage. I don't see clients under the age of 30. If it gets quieter, I may start allowing younger clients

My busiest hours working outcalls in Central London are 7pm to 11pm. I use 'Available Today' on AW and always display my work telephone.

Busiest areas for me are:
Kings Cross - business hotels near the St Pancras
Paddington
Holborn
The City (I get the odd lunchtime, or early afternoon outcalls in this area)
Heathrow Airport

Its possible to get early mornings or midday, MySecret. Do you do short notice bookings, like the client wants you to arrive in 30 minutes?

When I read through the 'Slow at the minute thread' seems every month is slow! But every month has potential to be busy or slow. Depends on your niche, location, price, regular clients and working hours I suppose

I'm sure there's a market for hotel out-calls in central London between 6am and 11am, as many business men would have time for a booking before they need to check out and go about their business. Why not make this the emphasis on your AW profile, like, 'I'm your favourite early morning call!' sort of stuff.

Also, build your own website if you haven't already, and start a Twitter account, again promoting early morning out-calls in central London.

2nd booking this week in Canary Wharf - client wouldn’t pay £20 extra for taxi so I got on the London Underground.
No more booking inquiries after that.
Financial districts of London, such as the Square Mile, Canary Wharf are starting to wake up.
January 2019 I had no bookings all month. January 2020 a bit better

Wonder where the Victoria/Westminster hotel clients are hiding? And the good old Mayfair/Park Lane ones I have not had in ages

Looks like I have to spend more on advertising to earn more.
Camming has been very good to me this month, especially Saturday evening and Sunday mornings. Averaging £30 an hour on cam which doesn't seem a lot but adds up with long shifts.

I think the main reason there is less work these days is from ten years of austerity and the middle incomes are much more squeezed financially.  In addition escorts are in more abundance as women are similarly affected in a variety of cirumstances and they are struggling with the cost of living which brings in more choice of escorts for clients.

I agree, Lushblossom.
Escorts are in more abundance; I looked at Instagram today and saw many girls free-styling asking clients to message them directly. Also the new apps like Smooci, new advertising directories. More girls in pursuit of the good life = the fast track to riches lifestyle. I think celebrity/social media influencer culture has a lot to answer for as well.

My client says it's harder to find someone excellent. He means comparative to the level of service he is getting a decade ago in London. The ones that are really good keep on increasing their prices. For someone like me, providing vanilla services and getting average feedback, work is slowing down.
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Lushblossom on 16 January 2020, 06:57:42 am
I think the escorts who still fantasise that this is a route to fast cash with minimal effort are in cloud cuckoo land.

Those escorts who are able to tour are not quite so affected financially provided their profiles and service and prices are all excellent.

I can't tour regularly until another year when my son is 16.  Locally work just slowly dries up although new clients will always be coming and going and regulars and returnees do still exist.

In fact I have noticed that the escorts who are very successful at running a good profile and tour regularly do in fact not even need to renew their photos for two years!

I still renew my pics yearly and in March shall be doing this again.

I’ve luckily had a few advance longer bookings with regulars, but if it wasn’t for them I really would have had the quietest few weeks since starting back 18 months ago. I never do “offers”, but I’ve got a slight discount on my hourly rate just for this month.

Had an overnight booked in advance, we even chose and booked a hotel together. Said he would contact me when he returned from abroad and guess what? Overnight date has been and gone and no contact.
I’ve turned down bookings (stupidly) because the overnight would have got me reaching my monthly goal.
Douche bag!
Been fairly quiet in my part of the country the last few weeks due to an influx of VERY cheap service providers turning up in groups.

It is certainly true that you never can tell and to never take for granted the calls/bookings will continue to roll in forever.

The first week in January I took off as needed a break but I missed hardly anything! While I chose well in taking that week off I also thought oh no is this how the rest of the month will go?  Luckily since then I have made my targets and a little more.

***More new clients have booked*** me than usual and a couple of long lost ones resurfaced. One reg has booked me 3 times in 3 weeks but I have also had more than my fair share of time wasters too who did not pass my screening.

*** Two of those are not welcome back as they were a pain in the backside but thankfully not literally.  :)

Have accepted an overnight this weekend in Sofitel Heathrow for £400. Normally I would say no to this overnight rate, but the client is very easy going (eats his dinner, massage and watch a film) and there's no better offers coming along.

I just checked the competition and they are charging 30/60/90 including some extras that I don’t even offer 🤔 no way I’m matching those prices and services!

Yes I do hope you have had some luck today! Bad enough not making money but to have hotel costs too which make you out of pocket is so depressing. Worse is when you think stuff this and go out for a walk or some window shopping then miss a call or a booking.

The second week of January was dead for me, had a lot of time wasters. Luckily it's picked up since then and I hit target this week. Have booked a flat tonight for incalls and hoping to get some more bookings through.
Always find they want incalls when I can't host but want outcalls when I'm in a hired place.
Need to try make as much as possible this week before I go on holiday as will have to last me till back

i went abroad end of january and came back on monday the 27th. I've had available today for the past 3 days and only managed to see 2 clients between yesterday and today. Got a few calls to but they were either tw or no shows. Desperate bc i usually hv no problem making at least 300 on my available today days. Based in the outskirts of glasgow. I thought that maybe bc end of the month is here so people may be broke but pay day should be today or tomorrow i believe? do you guys struggle with work always at the end of the month or is it just me?

1) People just received their credit card bills for christmas, 2) plus we all just paid our taxes too. On top of it tomorrow is officially brexit day and nobody knows what's going to happen (?).It's just a shitty time of the year. From personal experience Januarys are always good (this was a good january for me), but February has always been the worst month of the year for business. I'm in central London by the way, and yes, I've noticed the last couple of days have gone quiet. I'm fearing february.

Yep, the second half of January is worst than the first half, whereas February is vice versa. There are more self-employed people around these days, and even if you put the money away every month it's still psychologically a big dent in your bank balance if you pay in the last week, like I do.

Made a few free profile listings on UKAdultZone and SelectAnEscort; actually got a booking from there today!
I always use different set of photos from my AW profile on other advertising platforms.

Has anyone else noticed increase in bookings when they use different photos on advertising directories?

You have to use different photos. It says when uploading your three main pics to AW that they have to be exclusive.

I had a couple of quiet days in January but today has been my busiest day in a while. I’ve added two extra days to my set monthly schedule and, with those days included, I’ve actually had a really good January. Surprising because, with the few quiet days, I thought I would be below target.

I had a January offer on which I think helped a lot too.

Hi Phillipa,

Thanks a ton! My rates are quite high compared to others- £500 an hour. I would rather see a few exclusive clients than many in a week, especially due to being a full-time student. I compared my rates to other high class escorts, but I guess I need to build my way up..

I couldn't work Thursday but there were 5 good sounding enquiries.  Sods law.  My beppy tampon got stuck Wednesday after two clients and I went to the walk in clinic 24 hours later however they don't remove them any longer so I came home to 3 baths and much fiddling.  Two hours later it finally came out but the day was gone by then.

Friday it was pretty dead.  This whole past week has been quite quiet despite it being payday week.

What do you mean they would not remove it? It can cause toxic shock syndrome i went to accident and emergency in the past a doctor removed it. I got very ill from it. Did they not tell you to go to the hospital then?

I’m in the north east and didn’t get a single booking today... a few messages from the town s time wasters and that was all. I even made a second profile, not verified, but with new pictures and showing available today.. nothing nada zero. What the hell is happening. I have a friend in Ireland and she doesn’t complain, she’s going on holiday next week as she made some good money. I’m tired of running around for nothing, might give it a try with Ireland, just so hard to start all over again  :FF

I'm working independently since November and it's the quietest weekend ever! I'm doing evening/night outcalls only so it was always busy!  :FF
Only timewasters!
It's annoying because I'm going on holiday soon and was hoping to make some money before to feel secure after coming back.

But I have good feeling about the next few weeks as I've just done my driving licence, getting a car and finally can extend the area that I'm covering.

Yes I was advised to go to the A and E but it is too far and can be an extremely long wait so it was 'easier' to go home and spend two hours achieving its removal.

Most of my bookings are from AW too.
Maybe it's me, I find the non-AW/directory clients easier to do, they expect a lot less

Many time-wasters beginning of February. I've been canceled twice today; one sent me a selfie of himself flexing, the usual nonsense. Also fantasists asking to meet them in Geneva, or Chamonix (ski season?) but when I asked for a travel deposit -they disappear.

On the day of a booking towards the end of last year I was sent an email to confirm which contained a naked photo. I stipulate text or phone call, he'd interpretted text as email and explained he'd been in 2 minds about the naked photo but thought it might help me know what to expect and that he was very keen.

Two results I now stipulate 'SMS text', and he now knows that naked photos could flag him as a TW. We did go ahead and he was absolutely fine, and has booked me again. As I often say difficult to distinguish TW from genuine because both can behave in similar ways.

I’ve managed a few bookings this week but it’s been blood, sweat and tears getting them through the door and persevering through the EPIC amount of time wasters. Sheffield has been rife for them and I’ve even had to submit two ugly mug reports. Even the clients I’ve managed to book have been unpleasant and extremely hard work. Monday, I blocked and reported 3 guys to ClientEye and then had a no show! Awful! I managed to finish with an hour later that day but literally, I’m having more and more days like this and it’s really hard to battle through and keep positive. Hoping for a spate of lovely, easy going clients before I lose my sanity!

God Salty, sounds like something I experience often now. Really feel for you and can totally relate! It’s just so fecking frustrating. Even with my tight screening and vigilance they STILL find ways to annoy. Just got to take a deep breath and keep positive and don’t let the wankers pull you down because they’re never going away. Nice clients are out there waiting to help turn things around. I think I need to get back into daily meditation and stick to it because it’s really helped me deal with the debilitating stress and emotional rollercoaster that escorting is making me experience. I can’t live like this. I’m seriously considering leaving the industry and going back to civvie work full time (shudders). In the meantime, I’m going to focus on looking after myself physically and mentally and invest in ways of coping with the abuse and torment from time wasters.

Hi Bella88. Yes, you will have to build up slowly..
The only independent girl I know charging £500-£600 has reviews on The Erotic Review TER, and spends a fortune on advertising every month (Cherry Girls, Eros, London Escort Guide, EscortDirectory, London-Escort, Tryst.Link, London-Independents, EuroGirlsEscorts plus other International directories) and even she had a terrible January.

It is very difficult to distinguish time-wasters from the genuine ones. So many genuine clients are asking for selfies, which I would have ignored in the past.

Yes, it's so much effort to get clients to book!
They are either skittish or want you to woo them
I felt like walking on eggshells not to say the wrong thing/offend them
My last client asked for selfies and lots of reassurance  ::) ..this was 03:00am in the morning! I finally said "you really can't pick and choose, it's 3am for goodness sake- most girls are unavailable. '

So true and the slightest question about what services they'd like or not offered full postcode they get terribly offended in a spoilt kid way.
How did they get infected with all this paranoid, controlling shyte? Chemically castrated or what?

Today was going to be my day off as I should have had my period so I had made plans for later in the day - as it happened, period arrived 5 days early so I decided to work this morning through to mid afternoon since my plans weren’t til later anyway.
I did okay. 2 regs and 2 new clients. Turned down another 2 regs as I was finishing earlier than usual - bit of a shame and I didn’t want to have to do that, but also didn’t wanna cancel my own personal plans!

February is the grimmest month of the year for sexwork earnings.  I have lowered my one hour rate from £120 to £100 for the remainder of February and this is bearing fruit.

February/April/October are usually on the pretty crap side.  February being the worst month.

I lowered it this Valentine's week and although I am having next week off the week beg. 24th Feb my £100 hr still stands until 1st March.

I finally blocked some joker who is too cheap for an hotel room and wants me to come to his empty communal office.  Another who keeps me wanting to meet in an empty stairwell on a housing estate (I am not kidding).

Nope, they gone!  I don't have time for those. 

On the plus side, I had a couple of good jobs yesterday, which has made up for the joke that was Monday and Tuesday.

Interestingly enough, February is always a busy month for me. I've had stunningly good tours 3 years in a row now; IDK if it's a stateside thing?

Now the dead months over here are July/August, to the point that I try & take 1 or the other off, the entire 31 days. It's prime fam vacay time; I've wasted a LOT of time trotting all over hell's 1/2 acre during those 2 months with very little to show for it.

February and August are my worst months in the UK. I take both off from escorting as it’s just not worth paying for advertising. Luckily I do have other income, just have to be a bit skinter those months.

Apart from one day where I put my profile up and got nothing I’ve had February off. Gone away on holiday and I feel refreshed already. Definitely will be raring to go when March starts, needed the break.

February and August are shit months I put it down to being a very short month with valentines and kiddies  half term bang in the middle which makes it even worse. August summer holidays most men or the married once who are  mainly my punters are away with families on holidays best to just take time off if you can and  a bloody good break. Of course not the whole month but when kids are off it works for me especially when you also have kids like me.

I have also noticed a lot of the morning calls that i used to get from 10.30am to say 12 are very reduced and sometimes not getting a phone call til 12.30 or 1pm.

Anyone else noticed a change in pattern?

I'm noticing the sex industry is changing very fast Englishgreen, you need to be adapting every month or you're out of the game. Economy shifting, half of my clients are on Tinder now getting laid for free, sex going virtual more each day and platforms that were once popular escort sites are no longer popular because clients have flown to greener apps pastures. Phew... it's hard to keep up! I admire the ladies in the industry with families to take care of, I don't know how they do it to keep up with all the stuff.

I think the weather is more concerning than this virus at the minute!

On a normal day rain guarantees a quiet spell, but with half the country under water it's even quieter!

Bad weather and half term holidays I think are the main reasons it's so quiet.

I have not been able to work for much of the last 6 months, and coming back I have found I have to have my number up on AW a lot more and even then it was quiet.  I am a bit phone phobic so not great for me.

It was so dead I was forced to go back on VivaStreet and my it was far worse than I remembered. I’m not sure I got ANY bookings from there despite huge numbers or TW texts and some calls - though I didn’t quiz them where they found me so maybe I did.

It's really wierd because and very much like last year I was quiet before half-term, busy during  :o I've only really had the February half-term effect a couple of times in 10+ years.

But I see a variety of clients and punters, some not affected by half-term.

Yes! And when they do call they’re Timewaster.

I’ve had enough of this game now, I’m now virtually destitute because hardly any bookings
this year so far.

It’s diabolical and I’m at a loss as what to do.

I have zero money for advertising, and if I did they still waste my time.

Not only Tinder but the whole Seeking Arrangement/Sugar Baby aspect that now exists in the industry, as well as camming, has irrevocably changed it.

Also I think so many people have chosen sex work after seeing it portrayed as ultra glam in diary of a call girl, and the influx of women from Eastern Europe has also had an impact.

It’s a vastly different territory to 10-15 years ago.

I’m wondering what this means and how best to adapt to it.
It seems camming feeds into escorting on AW almost like advertising, so that’s worth doing.
As for being a sugar baby that’s too much time and commitment for relatively little financial gain (so I hear)!

Being in 1 area would always go dead after a little while but being the "new lady" in new areas used to more or less guarantee good business but i do not find that is the case for the last 6 months at all. This industry has always had quiet periods and busy periods but travelling to new areas used to spark major interest and i am not seeing that anywhere as much as it used to be 6 to 10 months back.

I do not think as many clients are using the service anymore or there is too many touring escorts and they are used to lots of new ladies popping up so not a huge deal anymore and toi many indies now working then ever before.

Still ticking over nicely and targets met but my targets are much lower now than they used to be. This feels so good.

Knowing that I would exceed my target for the week, yesterday late afternoon I accepted a booking from someone I have met 3 or 4 times a year and that was the only reason I said yes as I do not look forward to seeing him for reasons too boring to relate today.  However he turned up for his hour booking and within a few minutes I noticed his cock was unclean, very unclean. This hardly ever happens with me.

I reached for the wipes and told him that before we started I had to clean him and he did not seem bothered whatsoever, no shame or uncomfortable noises from him.  I asked had he come from home or work, home he said. This infuriated me but I carried on with the (sort of) satisfying knowledge that he would never meet me again. Yet another repeat or regular client of mine now blocked! Total lack of respect from him.

Sorry for the moan but it happens so infrequently it bothers me such a lot when it does.

Still nothing!!!!!  dead, dead, dead as a dodo.  Although someone just booked without asking (don't you just hate that) but it was someone I had met before and had no reason to meet again (disgusting hygiene).

One person who booked for March, flying in from abroad, has cancelled also what the hell is going on?  ::) ??? :(

I just checked last night, it's been an awful slow year. Last week crept up very slowly to be miles above average. Not understanding why as AW is dead to me. So 95% work is gathered from my personal sites. Which were dead meat last year too. Total mystery as it's holiday too which usually kiss of death. Can't figure this out.
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Justine on 23 February 2020, 11:43:40 am
I do not think anyone can give a definite answer why it is quiet/dead/up and down etc at any time.  It is all a game of chance.

For example I can have a week full of known long term clients who sometimes book on average monthly but can see me twice within 10 days out of the blue or leave it 2 months between bookings. No new clients for a couple of weeks then suddenly a week with several of them.

All of these men can be anything from mid twenties age up to 70 years and retired. If men get the urge they will do all they can to fulfill it. Even school holidays don't seem to prevent dads booking. Kids clubs and holiday school activities mean parents are not tied to the home day after day. 

It is not unknown for husbands to pop over to see me while their wife is doing the supermarket shopping and he is on a timer yes as he has to pick her up in an hour or so but that gives him time to do the deed with me.  Not the best info to give out but cold hard facts and this is what we rely on sometimes to reach our target earnings.

Do you think Coronavirus is the reason less people are visiting?
Most of my clients are from outside of London and maybe now they’re too scared to travel :(

Everyday number of infected people in London rises and there are plans to close down offices for couple of months so people can work remotely - that would kill our business.
I’m very scared.

Recently, the pattern of callers have changed; I am busy between 10pm-4am. I used to get most of my bookings between 7pm -11pm. Also, the number of outcalls to business hotels in London have decreased significantly. All my bookings since 1st March have been to client's AirBnB or homes.

I have one particular regular who I’ve told myself too many times “this is definitely the last time I’m seeing him”, because he’s hard work and always asks for discounts.
But, I always prefer seeing a regular to a new client. I feel quite stressed whenever I have a new client booked in because I’m on such high alert. I’m still on alert with all clients regardless of them being regulars, but I just prefer to know who’s coming to my door.

Made a loss for the first time EVER past two days. Cancelled the rest of my week so I don't lose anymore. Never known it this dead, I'm guessing its virus paranoia and they are all online wanking instead! Will stay at home and dust off my webcam I think!

It could just be a dead tour it happens from time to time. Difficult to say if it is Coronavirus related although some might avoid punting there is plenty of sex mad punters that do not care about risks of any kind and will still visit.

I hope it's just a random fluke. In 8 years I've never actually made a loss. Breaking even is my idea of a bad tour.

Oh well, I guess it's a kick up the arse to step my marketing game up!

Aaaaannnnnnd it's gone dead again.  I think we are really suffering with the business travel loss  ???
Even the timewasting enquiries have trailed off, lord knows it is bad if the timewasters can't even be bothered.

I have had a couple of tours where it is just dead and i have left early so not even made hotel costs it can happen occassionly. You been lucky in 8 years it has never happened to you. But obviously do not know how many days you tour for mine is usually 2 to 3 days at 1 place.

I've done two bookings this afternoon. One 30 mins and one hour  :)

The last guy was a Scot who travels a lot around England for business. He said this virus is affecting his work. Didn't stop him from booking though  :)

The virus is all any of my clients are talking about. Managed two decent bookings today, hoping the rest of the week continues on okay - I did expect it would be busier but I think coronavirus is putting people off somewhat. My civvy job is totally dead too because of it.

One thing I noticed is that at the weekend those that drink and sniff it has not put them off they still want to book us. Those who I make sure I am awake for when working at the weekends. It is the day time meets that is slow.

Absolutely dead STILL.

Toured Cheltenham for races this week and one job so far.

When I toured here a few years back I made a shed load. It seems everywhere is dead.
I can no longer afford to tour.

No views on my gallery. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.
Yes I’m a size 14 and I’m 40, yet I saw profiles of women who are BBW size 18-20 and they are busy.

Cannot think what I can do anymore to turn this around. I feel hopeless.

Good idea only thing is though if your kissing them can be passed on so hand washing will not do much.

I am not kissing any too close for extra risks. I wonder if more will stop doing that.

Busy day in Leeds for me, fully booked again - you just can’t call it, can you. I had a brilliant day last Friday, then Monday was the worst day I’ve ever had and for the first time in nearly 2 years I made a small loss. Then today has been great again. I had mentally prepared myself for a very slow one and I was a little worried, so I’m really relieved it’s been the opposite.

I am outcall only in South Yorkshire and haven't had any booking enquirys for a week now. I had one booking on Monday with a regular now nothing. Was supposed to meet a client I'd seen before on Wednesday at his hotel. He cancelled as he was supposed to be staying there for work and his company advised against all travel :FF
I'm low volume anyways as I can only do evenings and weekends but I'm definitely not this quiet usually.

Yep, I was fully booked both last Friday (6 jobs) and Thursday just gone (7 jobs), I did really well. However, Monday last week and yesterday, both dead. Monday made a loss and yesterday only two jobs which covered my hotel and the loss of the Monday.

Agreed! I think it's easy to over think things under the current circumstances, especially with all the scare mongering in the press. I still have my quiet weeks sometimes regardless. I am hoping this week is just one of those quiet weeks and it picks up again next week. Men will always be horny as you say! If it carries on, I will be camming again a bit more I think.

It depends how risk averse their clients are, the client's age, disposable income, location,etc. I know some girls are extra busy now because the clients are worried they won't get to punt in the coming weeks.

There is bit of luck involved as with anything. I was lucky to see 4 clients and work 6 hours this week, but they were late night bookings.

If lockdown happen Thursday or next week then dead. But I think if people still receive calls but no booking  is still good sign it mean men want but resist because of fear and soon they will break and not able resist. Maybe also can’t go out so they choose booking because private.

Being very low volume and my most regular of regulars are in the high risk group age wise I have accepted I will not be seeing them for some time. I am making the most of all this free time now within my home (so it is seeing the home improvements I promised it ages ago) and accept the situation calmly and not panicking at all. 

Financially I am ok and will be for a long time if this situation goes on for months to come but for others who have no savings or back up it will be causing some sleepless nights.  I have now been asked for bb services which I do not provide and I can not remember the last time that happened, probably 3 or more years ago. I don't think it is a coincidence because desperate times can produce desperate measures for some.

Kommons, my fee is £230 for 2 hours including taxi on there

I would only go for a cheap hotel so 1 booking can cover it. Otherwise too much of a gamble. I'm going to this Friday try get a cheap hotel room. Even if I do 2 bookings@30 minutes each, I would be in profit.

It's a dodgy site that steals escorts basic details off other genuine sites (for whatever reason only known to them) and write their own 'profile'. I wouldn't mind but the wording is beyond ridiculous so brings only idiots and weirdos aka timewasters to my phone. I've never had a genuine booking off the ad they stole from me.

I think site is an off shoot of backpage. They were around when backpage was functioning. That site is awful , they steal content and sometimes mark services you don’t offer—BB SEX most of time. Horrible site

I've never heard of Kommons either, just checked it out. I have tried alot of ad sites in the past, but mostly attracted time wasters who were put off by my prices (£200ph - which has never usually been an issue for me!) I'm taking some time off from the work atm because of an autoimmune disease and suffering from a few of the coronavirus symptoms, but I might look at Kommons when I come back.

I’m afraid things are going to get worse for quite a while.

On the plus side, they’ll be an influx once this thing is over.

Definitely agree, what books would you recommend? 🙂
Until then, read books!

Isn't that the site that steals escorts phone numbers and photos, writes a load of shit about them and then NEVER replies to emails requesting deletion of 'their ad' or at least the log in details after doing this?!
That's the only Kommons I know. That's a shady thing they did, sorry to hear people had their profiles stolen. Somehow they got good traffic on Google and clients use the site. Girls are advertising with lower prices something like £70@30 minutes, £110@60 minutes.

It is St Patricks celebrations a few Irish clients called, otherwise slow at the minute.
March used to be one of my most lucrative months. Last year I hit my monthly goals by the second week of March.

Kommons, my fee is £230 for 2 hours including taxi on there
(slightly off topic)I'm tempted to go on vivastreet but its so expensive for London. If anyone has luck with VS this month let me know lol
I would only go for a cheap hotel so 1 booking can cover it. Otherwise too much of a gamble. I'm going to this Friday try get a cheap hotel room. Even if I do 2 bookings@30 minutes each, I would be in profit.

I'm always using vivastreet but this month is not very promising so I stopped.
There are loads of timewasters on Viva, huge traffick and loads of phone calls. My way to deal with it is to have a separate phone number for Viva and I never pick up the phone when someone calls on this number, always texting and when I see that someone is genuine then call to confirm a booking.
Customers from viva are different, for sure they looking more for a quick fuck than GFE, most bookings from there were more to guys after parties, cokeheads, always for 1h but often extended to 2-3 h.

But staying on topic, this month is slow on Vivastreet, had only 2 x 1 h bookings from there.

Thanks for this Nomadic, I took the plunge with Viva London. It paid for itself on day 2 so I am pleased.

Now it's coming to end of the month which usually means slower business. I don't have high hopes for the remainder of March and will take some days off.

What makes you think people are lying amd what possible reason would they have to do so? I've been getting enquiries all week and for next week too, although not as many because so many punters in my area are now working from home and not coming into town.

That aside, if you think some posts are unacceptable or off topic then report them using the report button and we'll have less of the snarky comments, please. Judging other sex workers is not what we're here for and it won't be tolerated.

2 hours booking in central London tonight, not from Adultwork. I would've starved a long time ago if I relied on that site alone.
My plan is try to extend every single booking possible. I was asleep by 2am and missed a few booking enquiries. Daytime this week is 0 bookings

Thats something I have noticed at the moment. I usually got my bookings in early on even if they were placing a booking for later that day. Now the enquiries are not starting until later in the day x

Ok Amy,
So I’ll say this then. Girls still working and punters still buying are putting
people at risk and potentially costing lives.

instead of being so selfish.

That is appallingly judgemental though. It's not just about wanting to work at this time, for many there is no other way to continue putting food on the table for dependants.
I just hope better support might materialize soon for the self employed so we don't have to choose between our and others health or paying bills and being able to provide food.

And that is your opinion which nobody asked for and it's wildly off topic for the thread. If you want to know why some sex workers (all.of them adults, not 'girls') are still working read the relevant thread in the Blather section, and thank your lucky stars that you can afford to stop.

This one can get back on topic, and now.

I'm trying to keep posts to the relevant threads so there's some switching about between this and the Slow one, but I'm fighting a losing battle, I know. For now, if we're talking about anything that could fall under the title of this one can we post it here rather than there, even if it means the long thread drops out for a bit? Then we haven't got two current threads about the same thing and people's replies won't get lost :)

Where it says 'this one', it means here (https://saafe.info/main/blather-and-babble/coronavirus-affecting-bookings/msg389746/#new). Again, we don't need multiple threads about the same thing and people's replies will be getting lost (although of course I have limitless free time and nothing better to do than try to keep an eye on both, apparently).

I think we all thought web cam was gonna safe us in these bleak times but now everyone is on it it’s rubbish. I dread the thought of going on it’s so slow.

Add to this the schools being off till possibly September you can only do. After the kids are asleep. Nightmare

My work phone for escorting is off I don’t want to get wound up by clients contacting me for jobs when I won’t work at this time

I tried webcam for the first time in about a year last night. I did better than I expected, although possibly just luck with getting someone paying for private for half hour & a bit of group. I had my phone chat on too and took a call, albeit not very long but everything helps at the moment.
I’ve not been showing on local search for the last few days but I have had a few video and private gallery sales.
My panty sales have increased, 4 pairs in the last week, so I guess I’m still getting a little bit of traffic to my profile but enquires for any bookings are 0. I’m not taking bookings now anyway.

They have, you can claim ESA or universal credits to tie you over for the next 3 months but only do this is you really need to and ask for an upfront loan if you’re desperate and can’t wait 2/3 weeks as that’s how long it’ll takes to process, also look into your bills to see what you can/can’t get away with not paying - rent/mortgage would be main bill to not pay until June if you are struggling, mortgage - apply for a holiday and renters, you can’t be kicked out for 3 months but inform your landlord you can’t pay until June.  self employed workers will have the option to claim 3 months profit (this will be an estimate looking at the last 3 years) - this payment will be available in June, you just have to declare it in your January self assessment. To qualify for this payment you need to have been self employed for at least a year and your self employment is more than 50% of totalled earnt say if you have a normal PAYE job as well.
Until then escorts have the option to do webcam or phone chat however they can also take temporary employment (say working in a supermarket or hospital) as long as the salary doesn’t exceed 50% of what they will be earning in the new tax year.
Any escorts that haven’t paid tax you maybe entitled to universal credits / jobseekers but I’m not 100%, would be worth filling in a benefits calculator. However GET REGISTERED as self employed ASAP, it’s really easy - just do it online because firstly not paying tax is illegal and you will eventually get caught and two if coronavirus is like most other viruses there is a chance even if it does go away, it’ll come back so it’s good to have provisions for the future.
Not going to preach to the ones still escorting even though I want to but if you’re doing outcalls, the police may fine you if you’re out without good reason and those doing incalls you will most likely get caught and reported by neighbours (as everyone is in) or the hotel (as it’ll be quieter so more obvious) I know the police monitor adultwork and vivastreet so if rules are restricted further, like in Germany - the police will start detaining girls who are still working. I could sprout off a million other reasons but I’m not here to judge, just advise - please just just your common sense and do the right thing.

That is scary for sure but to be expected. I don't judge the girls still working but it's just going to add to increasing the CV circulation. Pubs been told to not expect to open for April and May. It's all so surreal, I don't think we will be back to work for another 3 months. And if police are monitoring AW and VS then its definitely not worth it.

And from what I have gleaned online, Most guys are being responsible and won't punt until all clear and have a hot list of the ladies that have stopped working but most will spend money on the regulars they know they will get a satisfying experience. I'm going to book up affordable [accommodation] in advance for Autumn I think, I will have to give up my work flat.

Vivastreet should put an end to their free extension of profiles then and just save our adverts until things go back to normal.

OMG I can't believe it that the actual police did that and so glad I tell anyone asking that I am not working until safe to, Which is the truth. I think I'd be physically sick if the police did that to me. I'm telling my landlord I can't keep the flat on, I can't spend two to three months of rent to have it sitting empty. I figure I can use the money to secure outcall apartments when we can work again which I now think will not be until after the summer. When I feel pissed about all the earnings lost I just think about those 0 contract workers laid off for 3 months. We are mostly all in the same boat regardless of it being a sex worker, Self employed or waitress and bar staff. And with the serious spread and deaths I'll be happy just for my loved ones to stay healthy.

I know that guys are testing WGs to see if they are working during lockdown. Unfortunately guys are boasting about making blacklistsof girls still available and testing girls too. To be expected from those with too much time on their hands. Also I bet a few guys who take risks with BB would still be punting and now police are coming after WGs too.

Why is it unlikely? The police do these type of things all the time check up.

Makes sense that some forces will do this after all if there fining people for popping to shops to buy non essential food why not this.

For all you know the police could have had a complaint also from a neighbour or anyone saying a sex worker has that flat and is still going in there to work.

It does make sense but very strange of course about the police.
Mind you it does say the following on the gov site and nhs site this


Stay at home

    Only go outside for food, health reasons or work (but only if you cannot work from home)
    If you go out, stay 2 metres (6ft) away from other people at all times
    Wash your hands as soon as you get home

Do not meet others, even friends or family.

You can spread the virus even if you don’t have symptoms.

So the visiting friends or family the lady must of had plenty of traffic her way. If one is to provie incalls to take the risk of one or two clients you might aswel hike your price for one or two bookings that cover the high  risques. So less traffice in order to make your targets.

The point is there will always be a need for sex for money as people will be working and earning and doing something.  The economy will rebuild and things will slowly improve.  It is more we need to keep our prices reasonable and keep an eye on our money for a very long time.

Some clients will be self-employed and will just adapt or move into other areas.  The government will help employees and self-employed.  This is a developed society and socio-economic solutions will always exist.

It does not mean that no guy is going to want to see us ever again.

We just need to watch our money very carefully and keep work to a minimum for now wherever possible.

Hi girls,

I just moved to London Bridge and is dead...

I would like to know please, whether is a weak week in general or this area doesn't work for me as I'm new here.


I really appreciate your comments!

I'm in the city area (close yo you) and it's quite dead. I have two colleagues also in the area and they're dead too. People in the the tech and financial fields are still working from home and companies are not going to have them come back till september. Hotels in the area are still empty. However... if you have low prices you may do well with the key workers type and builders. My prices are quite steep so don;t attract that crowd unfortunately.

Yes, I've noticed that the first two weeks of the months are good and the second two are bad (which is a great improvement from last month or the month before when it was "end of the month" every bloody day. I'm experiencing a veeeery slow but uphill recovery and I believe September/October things will be back to more or less normal.  Truth is peoples habits have changed: a lot of companies are going to keep their employees working from home forever, paranoia of bringing the virus home to the loved ones, unemployment, empty high streets and hotels acting like the KGB are going to change peoples habits. Added to the fact we seem to head to a cashless society. Of course all this is going to affect the sex industry and sex workers will have to adapt to a "new normal". I'm not saying it's all gloom and doom from now on (not at all) but some business models that worked for some before might not work from now on and some "adjustments" will be needed. Creativity is king right now.

Paid my sixty quid for the flat today and have do e zilch. A guy who's been before called me earlier for 7 tonight and I just knew he was going to cancel. Sure enough he just sent me a text to say sorry but something's come up. I'd just had a bath getting ready for him. I won't see him again. In fact I might text him to say, oh what a shame. I was going to wear my brand new white satin lingerie under my new secretary clothes. I don't want him having a wank though so I probably won't.

The most normal people will call back to confirm, but they won't be turning up. 99% don't make it through screening.

Hi everyone, well i'm glad its not just me!! i've worked abroad before but only just set up AW profile in London (outcall only)...my pics are very professional and i feel like my profile is good but had hardly any messages, mainly timewasters. Obviously everyone WFH and no one in hotels doesn't help and it's only been a couple of days...but still can't believe there were only 2 enquiries on a friday night!  :(

I was busier than I would of liked last week cause I was crawling up my own arse every time I sent my room number out, the hotel was like a graveyard! Supposed to do 3 days but 2 days of that was enough for my head.

It was mainly die hard regs though so I don’t expect the same this week.

Also, one of my regs who is on a forum said loads of clients have said they havnt really missed it and it will now be a treat rather than a habit, everyone is worried about money too. Most clients I had were also super nervous about hotels but they still came.

By now if it was "normal" i would have been literally bombarded with appointments and inquiries. I am getting so worried about the "new normal" that's approaching... :(

Have to say I’m slow all week and then Friday and Sunday I’m bombarded with calls. I had 5 clients in last Friday as I’m working high volume lately. And four on the Sunday. Even after all those I had plenty of calls and wasn’t hanging my head wondering when the next potential client would call me. I thought this was a weekend thing but its been dead on Saturdays so I really don’t know now. All I know is I might stick to just working Friday and Sunday’s for the mean time if this pattern continues.

It's difficult to say what our industry will be like in the coming months. Will normality resume once kids go back to school, once people start earning again etc?

I can see some theory in the comment about "not missing it so doing it only as a treat" because that's how I feel with certain things that I used to do religiously. Would get my nails done weekly, now am quite happy with a home manicure using a nude varnish - £30 a week saved. I'd normally go out for dinners, at least once a week. Now if I dont want to cook, I have found some delicious restaurants nearby that deliver restaurant standard food and I dont have to faff about with taxis to and from, inflated drinks costs etc - probably £100 a week saved. This lockdown taught me to reign it in with spending and get creative myself, so I can understand why clients would feel that towards bookings.

I have noticed a difference in bookings, firstly with the level of bookings I have been getting but also a fair bit of rubbish to go along with it: cancellations; moving bookings around; reducing the time. It's definitely different to before lockdown.

I, myself, am launching other revenue streams, both in this industry and outwith. Although it sucks to not be as confident with earnings, it is giving me an opportunity to think outside the box.

If you don’t mind me asking- dead as in zero clients a day? Or 2/3? I’m pretty low volume so could probably cope with only a few per week but will need to re-evaluate if it’s zero...

It's not zero by any means... just a third of what used to be pre-lockdown (at least for me), but then 1) I have high rates and b) I offer a very niche service so someone with a different business model, lower prices or less niche might have a more positive experience than me. There's a lot of key workers/construction types in the area and little competition so if you have low prices and they're your target group you might do just fine, but the business/financial/techie crowd are all working from home till september/October and their offices are closed so don;t count on them :-)

Again: this is MY own experience.

Four things to consider:

1) Were in July (from personal experience this is the slowest month of the year. Has always been)
2) We're in the last week of the month (end of the month is always slow in general).
3) We're coming out of the biggest pandemic since 1918.People are scared. The media has been/and keeps feeding everyone with fear.
4) There'a travelling quarantine out there and half of the countries can't travel to the UK.

I'm actually surprised some of us are getting bookings AT ALL these two weeks.

I’ve been pretty busy since I started back working in June, I was only working one day a week and was earning well, this week I worked Tuesday and only had a couple of clients and today absolutely nothing. I normally have a couple of clients booked in before I get to my work apartment but no bookings and only a couple of “what time you working till” type phone calls. Hope it picks up, but suppose it will teach me how easy it can change, got to use to it being busy you think it will stay that way

Yep I second that.  I've lowered my rates and its been much better.  More bookings than normal.  People out there have lost jobs and we are in a huge recession.

Nothing but arsewipes this week, apart from 2 lovely regs, but they were only short bookings.

Tomorrow I 'supposedly' have an hour with another reg, but he cancels often, so I'm waiting for the text to confirm that  ::) This man loves to drag things out to the bitter end and it's annoying he happens to book quite frequently, otherwise I'd drop him without a second thought.

Glad to see there's still trade!. Phone's dead. Which is confusing as it was ringing  during 'lickdown'  ;D . Though mostly wankers.
Therefore much sitting soaking the sun, a homeless charity worker offered me a bottle of water.

Another chap asked if I was ok as he volunteers at a shelter.

And a concerned salt of the earth asked if I was on the streets and before I opened my gob pushed two packs of  cinnamon buns and a pepsi in my hands. Then trotted off. I didn't want to embarrass him so thanked him graciously.

Yes July wasn't too bad for me either but this month dismal so far.

 I think now the kids are off families are heading off on their 'staycations' and people generally are just looking to get away on a break after so long under restrictions.

Fingers crossed for next month when hopefully a bit of (new) normality will resume.

Well many kids have been off for a long time yes apart from those of key workers but the others had online school work so now is what is classed as school hols proper.

Oddly last year Aug was my best month but that's probably because my main client demographic is 50's/60's so less likely to be affected by school hols.

Ever since coming back on the 4th of July I've done okay. But this week I've done 30 mins and that's it!

I've had other enquiries, but turned them down as they were undesirable. I've had so many timewasters that I could have probably had another booking on Wednesday, but couldn't be bothered by this time.

Does anyone else get like this? That you have so many timewasters you start to think everyone is a timewaster? And just lose the will to live and give up?

I won't quit this job, but I do have spells of idiots and timewasters where I don't want to work. I'd rather be off doing something else rather than waiting by my phone.

I don't think the weather has helped this week either. The heat always brings out the idiots!

August is always the worst month of the year for me so usually don't bother working. Bit different this year as been off half the year already but trying not to panic as it usually picks up come September.

February is always the quietest for me, but I think from memory August is usually okay.

I've definitely had a lot more timewasters and also one who I think is malicious making fake bookings.  It's exhausting.  Yesterday I got a phone call from about 200 miles away, they are having a frickin laugh!

I've done nothing so far and averaging about a booking a week, though bear in mind I often do longer than an hour and I do have a three hour booking later this week which I am pretty confident will go through but yeah, it is pretty sucky but I am hopeful that once the kids go back to school things will be better.

Really delighted for you. I think as this point though it’s important not to get your hopes up. My first week back from coronavirus in July and I was flying it. I had seven bookings my first day back. Now most days I’m touring I can’t even get one booking. It’s an honest to god nightmare. I’ve quit for the next couple of months as I just don’t see it worth the money I’m investing in booking a hotel [redacted] and then paying for advertising. Hopefully when I return in a month or two it’ll have improved. Fingers crossed for all of us girls sakes.

Well I spoke too soon as today has been nothing but time wasters but Monday always seems to be the worst day of the week so remaining hopeful.

Sorry to hear you have been having a bad time. As I don't have to book hotels/apartments I can absorb the odd bad day.

Fingers crossed for us all.

I don’t know, I’m doing everything I can already.

The amount and type of TWs is unprecedented (did a thread about it) - I’m getting at least 10 a day. Best way to describe them is that they are all like the worst VivaStreet TWs (whether from Viva or AW). Most don’t know my locations fee, or both, they literally read nothing. They have no idea how to have a polite convo, and can’t get their heads around making appointments.

That’s without the address collectors, No Show, the odd abusive guy, and so on.

Sorry for rant really at end of my tether. Every day I say to myself, it must get better, but now at the point of struggling to answer calls as depressingly they are nearly all the same type of idiots.

If I was getting at least a few more bookings the TWs wouldn’t be getting to me so much.

I arrived in one area just prior to Lockdown, then off for two months so no chance to build up regulars. Ended up being there over 4 months in total. When I came back I was happy to do a couple of bookings only per week as part of my Covid precautions but it was slow and more TWs than normal. I also had the bad luck to have a UTI which forced me out for weeks.

I don’t have a base currently so no choice but to move around . I am in a newish area atm but in 6 days around 80 TW calls and texts. That’s obscene. It wouldn’t get to me if I was actually getting more than the odd booking.

Strange isn't it how there doesn't seem to be any uniform pattern to it.

Getting nails done obviously a priority so if he couldn't get his arse into gear and book in advance then his problem he missed out  ;-)

I’ve had one half hr all week, I’ve been in Liverpool the last few days.

As to Viva I used it for 4 weeks straight in Stratford upon Avon and Birmingham just prior to coming here. From that 3 bookings in first 2 weeks, none after that, and the volume of TWs is way worse than normal. So it’s not worth the stress.

TWs from AW in Birmingham horrendous too.

Every time I called him back he went hysterical saying he hadn’t called me, hadn’t left voicemails and didn’t know what I was on about. I put the phone down then later he calls again, leaves a message saying to call him, I call him again and say ‘was it difficult to talk or something?’ To which he goes hysterical again saying ‘oh my god! I seriously have never called you! Oh my god what is wrong with you?! Why do you think I’ve called you?! Oh my god oh my god!!’
I told him what made me think he’d called me was that I’d literally just listened to a voicemail just sent with this exact voice on- then I called him out in his lunacy games and told him to seek professional help.

I never call them, its not my job to chase after them and definitely wouldn't be calling them multiple times. Seriously if they call and don't get an answer then they can either call until they get an answer or drop a text asking when would be a suitable time to call back.

Yeah, it seems to be dead for me recently. From getting an average of 2 people a day (usually more but most of them don't actually turn up) to nothing for past 5 days. I managed to get a half an hour booking today, but even then it was an arsehole that I had to kick out after 15 mins. Another guy booked, one that I've seen twice already but decided to just waste my time instead and not turn up without letting me know. So yeah, even guys I've seen before seem to be timewasters, it's just so pathetic.

Also high risk occupations.

I have also noticed some local escorts really got inflated prices at the moment!  Mine are cheaper and I look just as good lol.  I doubt high prices will help some women??  Who do they think can afford these extortionate rates?!

I have also noticed some local escorts really got inflated prices at the moment!  Mine are cheaper and I look just as good lol.  I doubt high prices will help some women??  Who do they think can afford these extortionate rates?!

Maybe they've put prices up so they won't have to do as many bookings  :)

I'm guessing hospital/medical personnel? emergency services, police? NHS staff? I've had a couple of doctors lately as clients and felt a tad uneasy.

Girls dont worry September is the worse month of the year even worse than January.

Been working 13 years and this happens every year without fail whether there's a recession or a germ its always been the same.

Just think uniforms and holidays no one has any money left there paying their credit cards and debt from corona no one has anything spare at the moment its as simple as that.

My work load gas halfed and I'm sat around all day with hrs in-between clients baring in mind I'm a touring girl and pay fortunes for hotels,travel expenses and parking.

I've decided to stay in work apartments longterm for the time being while its so slow as wasn't worth all the travelling for anymore.we just need to ride it out.

Well I often find September great in fact this month is ok so far.  I find October February and April the worst as a rule. Even putting an ad on Craigslist for 24 hours appears to have borne fruit.  I don't put it on long or too many timewasters.

Me too! Everyone goes on about January being shit but I find it one of the good months! 3 January’s ago then that was my best month that year, it was amazing! I think lots of people get cash at Xmas and spend it on us, which is fabulous! Plus not all men have families to buy for so they tend to treat themselves.

The whole of sept has been pretty dismal for me. JUST getting enough to reach my targets but less than half of what I usually make each week, and that's even with me being available some evenings and weekends.

I've been busy making content and charging on with onlyfans but even that has quitened massively. I have a lot of eggs in a lot of baskets just to make my targets, put it that way!

Very grateful that I am at least making the minimum that I need to pay bills, I know I am lucky right now.

Had mostly zero for  weeks but I got a booking clash yesterday from my personal website not AW which I don't bother much with right now.

I know from my stats that one would bale out. As I expected, the 51 yr old was 'called back to work'. I told him pay a deposit if he wants to rebook. Most suprised he was. But I like them to know they've burnt their bridges. I was pleased as the 'real' chap was double the fee for the same time.

Most of the guys over 40 cancel so I try to have a reserve player close by.

Been back working since July and up until yesterday only had one cancellation in the 8 weeks I’ve been back

Had one cancel yesterday and 2 today

Can’t remember last time I had 3 cancellation in 2 days

Considering it’s end of the month it’s normally busy as clients have been paid

Of course the minute I posted that I had a flurry of time wasters!  Agree with you regarding available today when I had it up two days this week every person contacting me had countless spam reports which saved me picking up or answering texts, the only one who didn’t have a spam report earned one by No showing

Literally the only people contacting me for most of this past week are known time wasters and new time wasters.  There are no genuine enquiries at all. I’m getting seriously worried now.

One idiot I’d  never met  texted me asking how was I getting on with this lockdown.
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Saffy on 27 September 2020, 08:39:34 pm
They are so fucking nosy.

Right from first lockdown these timeswasters have crawled out from under their stones. Tedious texts "hi" from someone you saw once to "Are you ok for money?". You just have to reply "Why how much did you want to send me?".

I always save numbers cus you know how the idiots operate. 

One I saw maybe three times who had lately been just phoning to waste time.  He asked if I did 69.  From what I have seen of him I don't think he has ever done 69 in his life!  He is one of these passive 50 somethings.

One texted if I wanted to go on a glamping holiday.  I didn't have to have sex with him if I didn't want to.  I did speak to him and he honestly thought an escort would go with him for the free holiday and no payment. 
 
The minute you reply to them they latch onto you and keep texting!

Yeah nothing puts you off men like this job.

I've picked up escorting again after a 4-year break (something to do on the side while I'm looking for a new job) and signed up with my old agency again. When I worked for them in the past, it was always busy and everyone was happy. It's been super quiet for them since February as well. Many clients are stuck at home with their wives and kids, unable to escape. I've been on their books for a month now (and I make myself available pretty much every day) and I have not had a single damn client. My Madam calls me nearly every day to update me on what's going on and I can tell she is also panicking big time.  :-\

I find this quite strange because it’s been lots quieter of course, but I think most of us indies aren’t doing too bad, perhaps the men think that an agency girl has more chance of catching covid than an independent as you are being sent to more jobs and you can’t really say no whereas us indies can do what we like, it’s not like the men can’t leave the house and I’m sure a horny man can make all the excuses he likes to get away for a shag! You are probs better off working for you.

Honestly, the way you put it, I didn't even think of that! Very good point!
The main reason why I like working for my agency is because they also provide the space for meeting clients - so I don't have to think about renting hotels, etc. Basically I can only really do outcalls.
But maybe I should give being indie a chance properly. :) thanks!

I think you should totally give being indie a go if you possibly can. I think guys are a bit worried about agencies right now as they see it as a revolving door system when maybe a more selective operation appeals just now.
I had 3 bookings today and 2 yesterday, could have had a 3rd yesterday but it was getting late and I was tired so turned I it down but he's a regular so expect he'll try again soon.

Same here. I am advertising everywhere I can and putting all the bells and whistles on adultwork and it makes no difference.

Regarding OnlyFans I saw a massive drop-off on there from June onwards and it just wasn’t worth while for me to continue, despite putting loads of time and effort I only made a pittance.  If you are long-standing and/or have huge numbers on your socials it’s different maybe.

Yep certain days i have found that 70% of calls have warnings attached to them it's a joke but to be honest not a huge surprise the amount of nutters out there and fantasists that try to target us. If anybody has any warning no matter what it is, it's curtains i will not entertain anybody that has messed another worker around they do not deserve more chances to do it again.

Dangerous ones i never block though i just ignore. Nobody wants them really changing there details.

The work i have done recently has been ok. I have noticed sometimes phone quiet but if genuine calls it can work out ok.

Sometimes it could be the area on the week of working that can let down or maybe prices have an affect in this climate it's hard to know for sure but this industry has always been a rollercoaster you never know what it will be.

I’ve found the past few weeks 90% of calls/texts

- have multiple spam reports on Client Eye
- are known previous TWs and idiots
- are new TWs/idiots

Calls /texts have also dropped off, in the past week zero bookings, past 5 days one No Show a day which is unprecedented.

Very demoralising and worrying. For me this is not sustainable. I will just run out of money.

I am near areas which are in local lockdown and my best guess is this is the issue.

Hi I’m still same as before lockdown doing well busy. But I’m as part time as you could ever get I do only tour for a few days a month. I think maybe if your profile is in same place everyday people get a bit bored seeing it? Not sure just my take on things as soon as I leave my tour I move my profile over to somewhere I’d never tour so it’s out the way of the areas I do like. Not sure. I do get a lot of time wasters don’t get me wrong but I don’t see a increase personally I’m used to it i think I’ve always had loads, I just ignore all texts xx

I cannot believe the amount of wasters. And when they are spinning some story and no intention of coming. Don’t understand why they do it.

I was doing really well to the point I didn’t even have to do available on aw I was booking up with pre bookings but today has been dire, I’ve had 3 pre booking with regulars but have been dead since 5pm, I’ve had two phone calls one was obviously looking to get off on chatting and the other had 3 warnings for filming without permission. It’s the most quiet I’ve been in a while and the only time that I can remember not getting a same day booking. Hoping it’s a one off

2 half hour and 1, 15 mins not bad. But also had two time wasters I had to ask two to leave. One tried to barter £30 and the other wanted to transfer by bank.

Can go days without seeing anyone then maybe one a day here and there. Does seem to be slightly younger guys now,  though I don't go younger than 30,  and a handful of die hard older regulars. I'm hoping it's half term that is slowing things right down but we'ii see.
It's pretty bleak.

One half hour for me all week  ::)

I am in North West and most people who I see are over 50 so ...

It's been silly texts and timewasters but I did have someone booked in for an hour yesterday that sounded a bit dodgy so I cancelled him. And I did miss a phonecall on Tuesday afternoon that could have been genuine.

I am being ultra cautious at the moment though. It's not worth ignoring your gut in this job. And Mr Sunak has increased the help for SE so it's all good  :)

Last week was dreadful nothing till the weekend, this week (touch wood) a bit better, but incomings consistently not matching up to outgoings.

I am, but I've not really worked since lockdown began, though I put my number back on AW a couple of weeks ago - only for Tier 3 to be imposed! I get a few inquiries, but my civvy job is keeping me fully occupied.

Yeah, I started back properly from July and it was okay-ish. Now with all these lockdowns, tiers put back in place I'm right back to square one  :FF Only seeing my regs and I'm very reluctant to advertise cos all it does is bring out the tw's or undesirables  ::)

I had a client telling me recently that he's had some horrendous experiences on viva and only recently found AW and that he wouldn't be inclined to use viva again. Sounds like there are a lot of EE girls on there who don't seem to have a good rep

Being EE has nothing to do with a good or bad rep. There are just as many non EE escorts who also have an off day (me included).
VS can bring in some lovely clients but as with everything, it's down to screening because God knows there are some real charmers on AW!

It was and it has been for ages, but this week, a few v. good bookings have come in, including a three hour which has now turned into 24 hours in Paris. My fee hasn’t been quibbled, and the hefty deposit paid with no fuss at all.

It’s all the more remarkable that Paris is in lockdown, and we can’t finalise the date.

I only used VS for one week recently, millions of TWs unable to read and only two bookings, but I have to say out of those two, one was absolutely gross, the other one is a sweetheart who booked me again fairly quickly and I would gladly see him again because he was THE easiest booking and a really sweet guy.  So, I have to say, VS was worth it just for him but I wouldn't only use it as the constant calls and texts from timewasters is just too much work.

I've done 4 long bookings this week but they've all been with regs or people I've seen before which I'm truly thankful for.

Worked over the weekend and used both AW and Viva for late night outcalls, AW was dead dry that number did not ring at all but my Viva advert different number and pics that was busy and got two genuine bookings for both night where one ended up to be extended overnight party booking.
Now as Lockdown is taking place won't be working.

This week is particularly bad for some reason, with an absolute multitude of timewasters. I was in a destination and I left 3 days early to go somewhere else just to get away.  I was being ultra picky because of the dross and managed to scrape just under 1k in 3 days.

The previous two weeks on tour were really busy.

Back to this week and it was so bad yesterday that I actually felt ill. Their time-wasting and general shite gave me a headache and I felt nauseated. I switched my phone off and took my phone number off my ads.

I haven't had a day like yesterday in years!

I'm here for 2 more days and if they continue with their bile I'm going to enjoy the days off.

I have a feeling things will improve next week.  :)

I started out this week and I had two bookings so far, one of them for next week. I am honestly glad to see this being the case, it means most people take the situation seriously. After seeing the "demonstrations" around the world and hearing things like 50% of Americans wouldn't want to take the vaccine, I had the impression many don't give a shit. This has restored my faith in humanity a bit.

Central London is (and has been for the last few months) a graveyard. The rich have flown to their country side homes and the working/commuting crowd is working from home ATM. High street and stores are closed so there's no excuse to come to London "to do some shopping" (wink-wink). Flights are hardly operating and hotels almost closed (only opened for key workers). From what I heard suburbs are very busy and businesses are doing much better than in central London. It's the worst time to be in central London right now.

I had a Lovely regular book me for today which would of been nice to add to my funds to cushion me but then his son's friend who visited him tested positive for covid so he had to cancel. Obviously I was happy he was responsible and kept me I  the loop.

I'm a baby to escorting really but be great to hear from ladies that have known the ups and downs and weathered the financial storms over the years of escorting and witnessed a bounce back, Would give us newbies hope :)  Or could this be the worst yet?

I'm only seeing regulars and returnees at the moment purely because I don't want people aren't familiar with my building crashing around the place or fucking up the door entry system, but it's ticking over steadily so fingers crossed I can keep pootling along until things settle down. I sympathise with the people who can only do outcalls as that must be horrific - the hotels near me all seem to have a permanent patrol at the door.

I took my number off AW a couple of weeks ago and that alone has been bliss; I hadn't got round to putting my paid ads back up after last time anyway, so at least I haven't wasted money :).

I think I mentioned before that unfortunately since I arrived in this area just before lockdown it’s been impossible to build up regulars. I’d say 95% of genuine queries have been via phone too (as well as all the idiots!)

I took a few months out came back, and was literally just starting to have a few returners.

Then bam the second lockdown in England put the kibosh on that totally.

The lockdown restrictions have genuinely affected lots of business adversely  :FF so people keep their money for Christmas celebrations, family, kids etc. So no time for the extra luxury of punting, as they consider it...  :(

As the AW system does not allow any bookings, I feel not worth the risk and don't do anything. Actually I have removed the escort facility until January. Only phone chat and content if and when

I think business isn't as busy as it used to be simply because over the years there's more people doing SW. The market is saturated and that's why it's quieter and will continue to be so. I think the other things affect business s bit here and there but in my view it's down to more competition?

Every time this gets posted it neglects to mention that as well as more sex workers there are also far more punters, since there are also far more (many either very cheap or free) targeted advertising channels available. I remember when I used to pay £80-100 a week for a crap newspaper ad with no pictures, prices, services or anything else remotely useful and it was basically seen by people in my town plus a handful of surrounding villages  :-\.

I haven't worked much over the last couple of weeks because I've had other things on, but as somebody in a similar area representing pretty much the opposite way of working (incalls at short notice and no advance bookings or deposits) this week has been steady to busyish until today, when it's been nothing short of silly. I had to turn three regulars down which I hate doing, and I'm not looking forward to eventually putting my number back on AW.

Hi Amy!

I've been wondering how things have been going for you and am glad all is going well. Given yesterday was official first day out of lockdown in our area, am not surprised you had to turn people away! Fingers the men of AW behave when you reinstate your number.

As you know, working during lockdown just isn't an option for me, and to be honest, I had written off doing anything in December too and starting afresh in the new year. However, suddenly, in the space of last weekend, all of December's slots got filled. There's definitely something in the air as even I found myself turning two away as I just can't figure out how to fit them in. I've also taken quite a few bookings for January and February too.

Am going to drop you a mail too  :)

My two regulars this week had to cancel because of work.  Nothing to do with money.

The clients I do see aren't affected financially. 

Not worked beyond Monday this week as have had a migraine plus my son has upset me greatly by failing all his gcse mocks having put no effort in so not full of the joys and not felt up to working.  Will try again from Monday ....

Agree with this I’m not working much at all till around Feb time when we see what happens with this vaccine. Wonder how it will affect client confidence. Seems so pointless to go and spend any money on an incall location to just get one job. It’s nothing but men wanking on the phone. Not reading your profiles or claiming they can’t do deposits for this or that reason. So not my problem. Either follow the rules or don’t call me!  I so disillusioned with the whole industry at present. Hoping to get in my grove after the harsh winter months have passsed.

I have noticed a positive change, More gallery sales and have had more bookings and bookings for next week so definitely getting busy. My phone was really busy Thursday and today and I'm inEast Anglia and not dropped my price. I've booked a place for next week and with and with possibly going into tier 3 in a few weeks I'm going to work while I can but won't book anything for after the 17th.

I hope this coming week is better.

Same as MissE but in the City of London (although I haven't been on AW so I don't know about gallery sales). I started this morning at 9.30 and didn't stop until 4pm, and that was only because I had a train to catch at 5. I reckoned up on my way home and I've earned more in three days this week then I did in the whole of November, with the caveat that I took a big chunk of November off :D

Now I feel better about taking Monday off to get the Christmas shopping done :).

I am in a tier three area so no hope of any hotel work currently at least until the review. Thinking of maybe heading to Central London myself for work. Camming has been a little slow for me but may have something to do with my own current inconsistencies working  :o

January has always been the deadest month but my partner trying to reassure me said that if things carried on as they were in December that January would be the new December in regards to be being busy but who knows  ::)

AW seems to have fallen off a cliff for me, so am doubly thankful I am fully booked this month as a result of finally putting a website online.

Was feeling quite positive last week, but despite having already taken some deposits for Jan, am fairly ambivalent about next year.
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: MissElvira on 09 December 2020, 09:29:10 pm
Like Millie my AW is definitely not bringing in my usual longer bookings and it's mostly guys with zero feedback who could text me. Timewasters are up this week but I can spot them a mile away. Actually put myself on viva and got two bookings from it and both want to it to be a regular thing so £12 well spent. But still it's my regulars that are my saviours. In tier 3 too but I don't use hotels but serviced apartments.

Thinking of a break after this week and then mid January I hope it's better. Have to say I've lost my enthusiasm for escorting with the extra restrictions and the ups and down of will it be busy or not and investing in incall accomodation. Was definitely busy the summer after first lockdown.

And had cancellation due to guys having a bubble member test positive for covid.

Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Miffy on 09 December 2020, 09:39:04 pm
I have to say I have no issue with guys with no feedback but only if they contact me directly via my website. Indeed, this month it's only those with zero feedback and have instead supplied references and/or ID and paid an extra security deposit.

However, zero feedback guys on AW, no way. They always go out of their way not to play ball with what I need to screen them.

MissElvira - I'm rapidly losing my enthusiasm too. Every time I get into the swing of things, restrictions happen and then I am sat twiddling my thumbs as I can't see anyone due to not being to access hotels/them not being able to slip out of the house.

It's the pandemic that makes working/trying to work demotivating.

One minute hairdressers shut then that means photographers also shut then when they reopen it isn't worth doing the profile yet.  Which means less enquiries.

I do need to update my profile as my photos are 2 years old in JAnuary and usually I don't wait longer than 18 months but it isn't worth the hassle at the moment.

No later than February am hoping it will help.  Unless we are in a 3rd lockdown!

It hadn't occurred to me until now, but a lot of my recent bookings have been younger guys. North is very quiet right now as we're all under Tier 3.

Same for me, what few bookings I get are for 15 or 30 mins even if they've travelled for twice that time to get to me.
Very disappointing that the uptake hasn't been anywhere near as good as after the first lockdown.
Maybe a lot, especially the older guys are thinkng they will just wait til after they've been vaccinated now but that could still mean a few more months of quiet times for us.

I rarely have my mobile on when not working however Sunday I briefly checked for messages.

Got a message off somebody I have saved but not yet seen.  Another timewaster wanting to chat.  Asking me what was I getting up to that day.

They don't text their barbers or dentist so why do they mess us about!  I just replied can't chat but do book when you can come and see me.  He then said it was Christmas coming so he couldn't afford it.

Why do they waste our time!  Disrespectful.

Escorting should be viewed and treated as a PROFESSION. Just like any other profession.

And the booking etiquette needs to be formal too, just giving us enough details required to make a booking , like mentioning their name, preferred date & time, and the duration of the meet. That's all.

Don't bother wasting time on those looking for a free chat.

I'm happy enough with what I've made but I've come home early as the area I was in goes into Level 3 tomorrow and it will be crap. (It wasn't great in the last Level 3 area I was in).

I have only two long outcalls booked, one for Friday and then Tuesday. If I cant do incalls then I'm not pissing about too much as long as I am covering rent and food for myself I'm fine really.

I've had it so bad that I've not managed to buy anyone any presents or anything this year. I'm devastated. I just feel lucky enough that I can pay my rent and bills. Heading up north to see family on Christmas eve for a month so I'm pretty much packing it in now until February as I have enough to keep me going.

Just going to carry on camming and building up credits as I am hoping to move into a new flat so the credits will maybe pay for the majority of that.

When London went into Tier 4, I cancelled the two I had diarised. I've since had two enquiries for this week, and another for next week, and have blocked all three men as I have zero interest in ever meeting anyone who flouts guidelines, particularly given the new strain of the virus.

As I've stated previously in this thread, until it is safe for me to visit hotels freely, I won't be seeing anyone.

I put my number back up on AW last night and fully intended to show willing today, but I'm still in my jamas eating leftovers despite their better efforts and my phone is on callblock now until tomorrow. I only got out of bed at all because I wanted a cup of tea.

I do have a handful of regulars popping up now I'm back, so I'll play it by ear the rest of the week. Also a fair few email enquiries from AW while my number was off, but they rarely come to anything and I'm not encouraging any ody who hasn't been before even though my buulding is pretty empty atm :)

I think Lush you may be right, I just feel it will be slow or the usual Questions from timewasters questioning why I am working during these covid times. I know 6 girls who have worked all the way through and no illness so either very lucky or winder woman immune systems, I took off whole first lockdown and like most took it serious in a hope the efforts would mean a end to lockdown and covid. Boy was I wrong it Seems it will keep on going with media fueling it and it will scare people off.  I want to be very wrong. Almost all of my regs from before covid i have not heard from except a few to say tjey will see me once vaccine and its safe to. I'm just not feeling enthusiastic about anything let alone getting work and the talk of a Tier 5 is just scary.

  I'm getting enquiries from newbies but many have no feedback and plenty of us have seen the problems of trying to direct their testosterone fuelled brain to arrive at the right door and my nerves wouldn't stand it under present circumstances.
Only averaging about 2 clients a week  :(
Heard talk on tv this morning about not lifting restrictions regarding social distancing until the autumn! Please nooooo   :FF

I agree, with everyone and their mother working from home, retail closed and zero tourism central London is pretty bad, unless of course your target group is key workers and builders (not my case unfortunately  :()

My target group is anybody who passes my screening and a fair few don't, but I can't see what a punters occupation has to do with that? The majority I've seen in the last few months have been key workers of one sort or another (at least when they've mentioned it) and I can understand why it would be quiet if you're refusing to see such a massive group of people - mine range from teachers and social workers to legal professionals, civil servants, engineers and at least one firefighter. I rarely see tourists irrespective of the circumstances.

I like some of them more than others as you'd expect, but not because of how they earn their money. Are you actually asking callers what they do and refusing them, or is there something on your ads which is (deliberately or otherwise) putting them off? I only mention it because it seems a bit counterproductive to turn perfectly good business away and then complain that it's quiet - I'm not rushed off my feet but I'm fine on a couple a day (in fact I'm happy with that given that my neighbour is in all day atm) :).

Today is quiet for me and so far I've just seen a semi regular (my favourites), but hoping for one more. I'm ok ticking over ATM. I'm still turning idiots away and actually just got into a spat with someone wanting 15 mins which I don't do. I bit.

I tell them I have no problem at all with them leaving after fifteen minutes if they want to - I'm not going to hold them prisoner. But they're still paying for the half hour.

I screen everyone on the phone for safety reasons (like we should all do), I don't ask for their occupation because a)that would be quite intrusive and b) their occupation has nothing to do with my safety. Nice people come from all walks of life: from builders to CEO's (although I do find from personal experience that these last group tend to be on the self-entitled side of the spectrum), the problem is that I do attract a certain "niche" (usually the office, the city crowd and the tourists). Most probably it's the way I market myself or the wording on my site, my rates or god knows what, but it certainly has been an issue lately. Unfortunately for me I don't get the builders and the key workers (and I say "unfortunately" because I really like these guys) but... they don;t call me  :(

Pre-covid this was not a problem but with no tourism and everybody working from home my business has been hit more adversely than other ladies with a different business model. On the other hand I'm aware this pandemic has changed the economy, eg: my local bike store that was always empty nowadays has a long queu and have doubled their staff  whereas the super busy italian restaurant around the corner is now doing pizza deliveries and have had to downsize their staff to a third. We (the people on this forum) as independent businesses have been affected in very different ways. I was just trying to point out how in my case have been affected. No need for putting down people.

Is anyone else really getting very little in terms of clients?

I've had to give up my incall and now I'm working out of my own place, and even then I'm barely getting enough. So I've had to start walking my local area at night which hasn't traditionally been big on that sort of thing but I am at least getting something
 

Just how much longer can this go on?

It will go on until most people have been vaccinated, i.e. at least late summer/early autumn.

I wasn't criticising Ana, I just couldn't work out why you were describing 'key workers' as if they were a big homogenous group when they're all so different. I would be completely stuffed without them money-wise and I just misunderstood your post :)

It won't be your rates (I guarantee the scaffolders in the square mile will be taking home more than most of the wage slaves in the suits - a lot more) so I really don't know? I love a builder, meself :D

I'm getting loads of the spam texts from people with shitty rooms and apartments to let - I put my number back up on AW at the start of the week so I know that's it, but it's getting right on my tits. I would have thought the ones that were any good would be full given that the hotels are shut, so these must be the absolute dregs.

I have found this too over the last month, very strange, been the worst I've ever known it.
I think some are still stuck at home with no excuse to disappear and some worry about being challenged if stopped too far from home with no decent excuse and are just being super cautious.
I'm just starting to get more enquiries though and guys getting in touch who I haven't heard from in ages so fingers crossed ladies we may soon be turning a corner.

I am starting my incalls again in May due to using hotels only and I worry that I am missing the buck in comparison to those who have places to incall from a bit earlier. I am thinking of looking for somewhere else in April as I need to just hurry this along now. I think I am just used to the comfort of knowing where I am at and knowing the clientele in my own area.

I have been asked a fair bit for bookings since the latest November lockdown when the hotels shut with people asking when I am coming back but I don't think that's indicative of what it would actually be like if I did start working again so I am tempted not to waste money in renting a room only to not have the bookings I wanted to have :-[

I certainly wouldn't worry yourself that you are majorly missing out just now.
I think it would very much depend how discreet your incall place was.
I am working from home but too worried about being grassed up by neighbours to see many clients at all so am only seeing regulars at the min and as someone else has mentioned, even many of them seem to be lying low.
If you could find yourself a really discreet incall place asap and are happy to take any client who passes your screening then I'd say go for it, otherwise don't be beating yourself up thinking that everyone else is raking it in whilst you are having to be slow out of the starting blocks.

Precisely this. I was doing alright through Jan and Feb, surviving. Since mod Feb, it's been nothing but timewasters (and very convincing timewasters) with a handful of regs each week, if that. Thankfully, I ask for deposits so I usually find out durong the booking process that "that can't afford a deposit / can't free up cash / really look forward to meeting when all this is over". I'm mentally exhausted from dealing with this for the past month if I am being honest.

It's dead. People are laying low until the lockdown is finally over. I've actually given up TRYING to get bookings for the time being and just taken a welcomed break.

I have found it busy of late so much so I had to remove the mobile number on show on AW.  But it will be back on Monday.  I am just seeing one a day i.e. 1 hr or 45 min.s.  Refusing quickies at the moment unless it goes slow again.  To cut down on traffic as it is temporarily illegal for now to work.  Though I have been off since just before Xmas so perhaps I am viewed as a novelty these past two weeks lol.

February and the first week of March was good for me but last week and this week are dead as a doornail. I think that maybe people are hunkering down and waiting for April 12th. I'm not going to lie, I'm really worried that it won't recover as we all think it will. I'm hoping for clients to have big blow outs to celebrate but I'm not sure that will happen. Another big worry is that furlough has been extended to September  :-\ and most clients come into London for work. Hopefully tourism will be up along with international business men travelling for work.

It was a very quiet day yesterday.  Just half a hour meet and the guy wanted to knock a tenner off so it was a mere £60 earned.  Better than nothing though and he did sound genuine as to needing a discount which I only rarely allow.  Another guy who had been emailing as to a half hour of late emailed me all enthusiastic yesterday then mysteriously removed  his profile on AW.  Perhaps the wife nearly caught him (am only guessing he was stuck at home).

It’s been picking up slowly for me the last few days I’ve got back to working. I had an outcall one day which I more or less cleared me targets with so didn’t end up seeing anyone else after that and then yesterday I seen 4 clients. Also toured Sunday and the phone didn’t ring once. Possibly because it was Sunday though. I have noticed though that there just isn’t the same buzz on the phone. When I used to top up my ad I’d have a lot more calls and texts and quite fast too. Now I might top up my ad and not receive any calls or texts for 6 or 7 hours. Definitely a bit of a drought in that regard. I’m working again this weekend hopefully with the nice weather it’ll be a good one. Especially as a couple regulars are probably now aware of my return and people who haven’t been able to catch me on the other days quite possibly now. Staying optimistic that it’s going to be a good Summer for us all.

First day back doing incalls on Monday. Phone was red hot...with TWs and wierdos. Not one confirmation call, at least I didn't bother to get ready for any of them. Spent most the day adding details to client eye!
Tuesday picked up nicely though. Not expecting too much though, as all the kids are still off school it appears and pub beer gardens are open again!

Was just starting to pick up nicely until the shops and beer gardens opened on Monday  :-[
Hopefully when they have gotten over the initial excitement of being able to get a beer in the freezing outdoors they will be back.
Could be with the schools still being off too I suppose.
AT is just attracting a huge amount of timewasters and guys I've already blocked  :FF

Had one call this evening and he was very vague, I was sure he was wanking so put the phone down. Checked the number and sure enough that was his MO.  Just makes you wonder whether it's worth it.

I'm thinking that older clients are still hesitant to come back to London, but I'm not sure. Is anyone else the same? Also I've seen 'AT' mentioned, what's AT? 💕

I am in London too,central London,  very quiet too. I only have few regulars during the week but very few new one. It is scary for me as I make very few money. I don t know about the other ladies in central London. I was hoping end of month= more business this week,but does not pick very well.
I have started webcam ,as I thought it could attract punters to visit me but for the moment,not a success.
I stay positive as things may change in a positive way.

Last week was super busy this week absolutely nothing. A lot of my clients are muslim so I’m hoping things will pick up with May 17th and Eid around the corner.

I think this is becoming the norm more calls will have warnings against them because we now have a app to get this info instant. I think out of all calls well over half are not genuine paying respectful clients so it will make things slower overall as most of us will ignore any bad warnings.

On the other hand (and if this makes you feel better) I walk through Oxford street a few times a day and the high street has been very very quiet too. I've got a few friends working in retail and local coffee shops and they complaint it has been dead for the last 10 days.

Mee too, I believe London has emptied out and tourism is not back yet so it's still a graveyard. I'm aware everybodies business model and public is different, mine was tourists and office workers in the city centre so I've been hit like no one, however I can see why other parts of the country that don;t necessarily depend on tourism might be doing well. I'm sure touring and smaller towns are doing fine. (packs her suitcase and head to the station lol!).

I'm in a touristy  part of the country. It's been quiet until today and the phones been red hot as soon as everything has opened up. Genuine, normal sounding types as well. This bodes well as I think all tourist attraction areas are going to be very busy this year with people holidaying in the U.K. It would seem half the country are heading here so I'm hoping that translates into bookings. Hopefully the same can be said for London.

There maybe an opportunity there with domestic tourism on the increase in lieu of office workers and foreign tourists being around. I wouldn't normally go for the tourist market but have had to adapt. Make hay when the sun shines as they say.

Gone dead here as of this week.  Somebody wanted an hour this morning but I didn't like the sound of him.  Perhaps I shouldn't be so fussy but overall best to be careful.

Yesterday dead too.  Somebody wanted to book but then their son mysteriously had a motorbike accident.

Luckily a guy had prebooked for Monday but today sat here twiddling my thumbs.

Getting new photos done in a month's time so that will boost business no end as it has been two years no new photos.  Like many of us we haven't updated our pics as there didn't seem much point during lockdowns and being unable to work and so on....

I've notice a slight (just slight) improvement in business in central London (hoping I don't jinx it by writing this). Also a friend of mine who's a stewardess for a very big known airline and who was supposed to be on furlough till July has been called to the job yesterday as airline is flying again. This last news gave me great hope.

I believe if the vaccination rate continues fast and steady, we don;t go into a another lockdown and people start travelling again the economy will start improving step by step.

I spoke to a few of my city clients ( London boys) and they’re slowly trickling back into work for 2/3 days a week. So fingers crossed the second half of the year is a successful for us all ;D

Same boat here. I've been asking around about clients going on holidays and the consensus was that nobody was planning on travelling -yet-, so if we don;t go into another lockdown and that indian variant doesn't get out of hand business wise it might even be a decent summer.

Crosses fingers.

It's been busy here for the last couple of weeks - I can't remember the exact day it flipped, but there are lots more people about all of a sudden and I'm catching up with punters daily who haven't been into town for almost a year and a half. Even the Bank Holiday Monday was steady, which was good because I skived Tuesday to go for a picnic :D

Half term is usually when I tend to get a familiar handful of teachers from a few local schools.
Thankfully my incall is not near my house so I have less chance of any of them beng teachers from the schools my kids go to.

I’ve done both the city of London and Oxford Circus this week and both were awfully bad. So much so that I won’t be returning to London until winter now. For me I can earn this pittance locally to where I live. I’m really disappointed I thought after half term week they would all be dying for a shag. Monday’s in the city are normally so good.

Both areas are going to be very hit and miss for quite some time yet. City of London is only at around 20% occupancy at the moment, many offices are doing staggered returns and most won't even begin this until the Autumn. While there are definitely people in the street, in both areas, if you look closely, shops and offices are not busy. I know a few shop owners in both areas, bar/restaurant owners too and a few traders at Spitalfields. Business has been very slow to pick up. I think both areas are going to be slow until next year, and due to the added consequences of Brexit and many offices relocating to Europe, it is going to be a quite few years at least until the city returns to pre-pandemic levels of people.

That said, I do think once more have the second jab, it will start to look livelier.

It's the week after half term now here in London, albeit only first thing on Tuesday morning :) - when you say this week, when are you talking about? I know different cities have different holidays and I fell foul of it a few times when I was working all over the place :)

I don't expect the number of people working in the Square Mile to be the same as it was this time two years ago, but in my corner of it there has been a marked difference these last couple of weeks as per my post above, and whilst I'm not high volume and I know touring is different, the notion that the place is deserted and punter-free isn't my current experience at all. Then again, I often find Mondays not worth the bother and generally stick to regulars, so everybody's different :).

Monday’s have always been my busiest day in London it’s interesting how diff ladies do well on diff days. Yes I did Thursday Friday city and Monday Oxford Circus and was awful for me. Currently headed in my car to Bristol where my phone is blowing. I’m happy that I made the move. Nothing worse than being sat in an apartment for nothing.

It's partly self-sabotage with me; I always hated the first day back after the weekend in civvy iobs and it still takes me a day to settle back into things. I try and shove as many returnees and regulars in as possible so I can hopefully go a whole day without answering the phone; midweek are my best days (on Friday I'm thinking about it being the weekend) ;D.

That might slow things right down, unless England crashes out early.

And Scotland and Wales, for those of us Brits who are not English, not in England or both :).

In my experience it doesn't make much difference, but then I watch all the games I can anyway. What it can do is provide an excuse for punters to nip out for a couple of hours (and there are some extra open air showings too, so plenty might have somewhere to go out and watch).

Of course, wouldn't want to neglect The Scots and Welsh.

Well yes. Although sometimes it means my punters are. More likely to be tanked up on beer if its a game day.
You never really know. Also, I do really enjoy the atmosphere that comes around with  these tournemounts. It's festive. It's good for time out with the kids too.

The clean air zone is quite massive tbh. Would have to park on the outskirts which is hard as majority of the areas around it are double yellow now.
Unless they come via train or have a new car

If you’re working from hotels make sure to ask divvy clients to wear a face mask. I’m staying at a hotel today and reception isn’t bothering anyone. Some idiot comes up and has a go at me before his appointment saying he thought it was discrete and that reception stopped to tell him to wear a face mask. Seriously how dare they ask you to wear a face mask when it’s mandatory. Out of all days to be an anti masker could you not just put your stupid beliefs aside for two fucking minutes as to be discrete in the hotel and not get me fucking caught. Idiot I swear. Lesson learned warn them all to wear a mask. Some obviously still lacking in common sense.

Good point I have been telling them on the phone to pack your face mask even if your beliefs are otherwise best to walk in easy with a mask on and not get stopped as the rules are to wear a mask for inside the hotel. All clients have been fine with it. At times you have to baby these clients.

I put this is in a text when they enquire about booking as you might get the odd one who says he exempt - and then I won’t see them

And when they say they are at my hotel I send them a text to remind them
Something along the lines of
No problem with visiting the hotel as long as you wear a mask you won’t get stopped so please make sure you wear a face mask

Don’t forget to wear a face mask when entering the hotel xxxx

I remind them to put it on when they leave as well 😂

Over the last week or two I have had some cancellations and bookings moved to a different day/time. I have also had to move some bookings. None of this is usual.

I don't think it's weather, I think it's because lockdown is ending, so people have been busy doing lots of other things they have waited to do for months, and that is messing schedules up a lot.

It’s been dead for me in London since last week. Ever since the sun came out bookings seem to have gone scarce.

I do reckon London being closed for many tourist this summer is definitely having an affect too as someone has said on here also before.

I do recall back in October before the lockdown when tourists were more than welcome in London I was a lot busier. And many of the guys I was seeing were just visiting London on businsss trips or just leisure. I was here for a week before that lockdown on the 4th of October and I remember a huge proportion of my clients at the time being from overseas and just visiting for a few days. I still get men messaging from different countries telling me they will be in London soon and would like to come see me.

I feel with lockdown easing business is definitely improving but I doubt it’ll be back to normal levels for a lot of us till London is open for tourism.

If your client base isn’t made up of a lot of tourists either I would assume to that even a lot of people in the U.K. are still not comfortable travelling to other cities just yet. I’d say it’ll be after summer when things resume to full normal.

I have felt in the other cities that I was even a lot busier than London as I assume other cities depend a lot less on tourism than London does and more on the local population for clientele.

I have just return to work after a long break, but I feel like there is nothing.. I get cancellation and people just want to have a chat  :FF
So far I have seen only a person per day only for 1hour each.. but that's no decent money and I don't know what to do :(
I'm in a new flat, and that's worrying me as I have rent, Bills and all this :(
Mention that I am near the City.

Has been different for any of you ladies?
I am seeing people outside doing their normal things, but when it gets to business.. very slow!!

Same here Denise. I’m in central and I’m getting one per hour per day a lot of days lately too. Business is extremely slow at the moment. Every couple days there’s an up kick and I get three or four but it’s just not consistent at all. Especially in London.

It’s actually really slow in London and I honestly cant understand why. Other cities are hopping and it’s making me consider a move for awhile. I was doing quite well in Birmingham. London is absolutely shit at the moment and you’re not isolated in business being slow Denise. I have seen on here many other girls have said similar about London being extremely slow.

The amount of idiots too are on the uproar in London more than anywhere I find. It’s so bad sometimes I just tour because I hate working in London and dealing with the phone. So many idiots and Timewasters calling non stop.

I have to say Birmingham was buzzing for me the last two times I visited there. I know some people think it’s dangerous or get a bad vibe off the place but I have to say I really enjoyed touring there and all the clients were amazing. Most showed up and one time with good hygiene and manners.

Denise, when you say you're in the City are you talking about the actual City of London/Square Mile? I'm here too and whilst I don't go for high volume, I'm doing fine with 2/3/4 bookings a day consistently and turning down plenty on top of that; I only did one today, but that was because I was busy yesterday and couldn't be arsed. It wouldn't do some posters any harm to remember that just because a place is a particular way for them, doesn't mean it is for everyone and equally that London is huge, diverse and the different parts of it are nothing like each other.

Do you have a well written ad/site with good pictures, and plenty of advertising (not just Adultwork?) Every single one I turned down today mentioned AW when they contacted me, and every single one was turned down because he was either downright rude, thick as fuck or hadn't read a word of my profile page on there ::)
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Miffy on 29 July 2021, 12:19:47 am
Like Amy, I'm also based in the City/Square Mile although I do outcalls across zone 1. I am low volume.

July was initially looking dead due to postponements, so had planned to just sit it out and conserve my energy for August and September as both months are already booked out. However, July suddenly got really busy, not only with regulars, but with new clients too, so have ended seeing almost double that I would usually see. (After a year where I have barely worked, this has been a godsend).

I don't use AW at all, all clients come via my website, and I have ads on a several London specific sites. Very few time wasters either, thankfully, but that might be more because I do not display my number.

Oh that is good news!

I managed to jinx myself by posting the above yesterday, and literally everybody who has called today (bar one) has been a knob; the only other one who sounded remotely OK got all the way through the call and then decided to ask me whether I'd had 'a vaccine' and then to cap it all one of my otherwise good regulars rang at twenty past three to ask if I was free at half past (which I wasn't even if it hadn't been a fucking ridiculous request because I'd just cooked huevos rancheros :D).

I'm keeping the phone on for half an hour more and then I'm going out :).

It's the old adage: horny men don't read!

I've not switched on my Available Today light, but have had more enquiries than the day before when I did. 🤔

Ohhh wait. It's payday!

Have to say though seriously, I'm finding LES on AW is more effective than AT. To the point where I only pay for AT if I've not bought LES and then decided to work.

What is LES on AW?
I haven't had my AT at all since I've started but getting positive reviews from new and old regulars which is great! That seems to bring me business


Amy, yes I know, I had today a new one asking me if I will be available at 1.30pm and it was already 1.15.. so I had to say no. I don't like this short notice and plus I know they will never be in time and that will mess up everything..

Ohh and my entrycall system doesn't work  :FF :FF and I need to be very careful  :FF it's so stressful because that stops me from booking more persons

Was discussing business with an acquaintance who is a London indie like me. She said she's finding it so tough at the moment that she's now on several agency's books, at her indie price. This has really surprised me, not only that she would allow an agency to take a cut of her fee, but she would do so at a loss.

Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Sophine88 on 02 August 2021, 09:32:55 am
Decided 1 day might not be enough for touring and going to give Leeds another go today to see if things pick up.

If not I’m just scraping the North from my touring list for awhile. As I did crap in Manchester too and I’m just not arsed touring another city in the North again having had such bad luck in Leeds and Manchester.

Was super busy in Birmingham so will be back. London is quiet some days but others it’s super busy. I’m going to be looking at other cities in the south to tour next. Perhaps Brighton or Bristol. Luton is on my list too.

Changed my location to a few places today and Nottingham received so many enquiries. So random as I would never even think to tour there but perhaps one will be coming soon if it doesn’t pick up in my usual haunt in London.

I’ve been considering working in other parts of London too. Many of my clients travel in from east London to see me anyway so it may be worthwhile booking a hotel out in Stratford for a few days. A lot coming from the south to. Think I may very well have just fucked every potential client in North and West London at this stage. I haven’t done any of the airports in London either so that’s going on my list too.

An Irish guy on holiday too came to see me today which is a positive I guess. Haven’t seen anyone who wasn’t from the immediate population since like November time when I toured London first me thinks. Hopefully as travel restrictions ease it’ll be a small uptick in business for a lot of us hopefully x

Steady today but only regulars and nothing at all over the weekend.
I'm thinking that this fuel shortage situation might be making things worse, guys can't risk getting stuck somewhere they have no excuse to be and they will need to keep what they have for essential journeys and I don't think a trip to visit us can be described as that.

It really feels like the time wasters are out in full force this week. I'm on a 1 stop tour (which I lovingly call a pitstop) and I usually see at least 10 people in the week. This time I've seen like 5?

I got lots of "I'll call you back later" 's or asking about services I've stated I'm not offering on my ads. I usually do okay on my pitstop so I'm not sure if it's just the fuel shortage. I've been very bored this week   ::) :D

I do not know what is happening.  Where lost the guests went.  The problem may be that every nightclub, strip club, swinger club is open.  From October 4, you can only go to such places with a vaccination card.  I hope to have more guests again from October 4th.  If not then we can start to worry seriously.

Well it is for me as I was dead in my usually busy tour destination. The petrol stations were either shut or queued out.
I'm taking a couple of weeks off until it settles down.

I've had one cancel this week stating lack of fuel as the reason.
Very poor week for me, had one who contacted me today gave off a bad vibe so I decided not to see him. Asked what time he wanted and he said "later on"  WTF am I suposed to do with that!?  Said he was an AW member but made excuses not to put a booking in ... Just sounded really iffy.  Then just timewasters.
What with the bloody pandemic and now this, makes you wonder why we bother.

Thankfully, my diary is fully booked this month, although I did have to cancel one client. However, what I have noticed is the traffic to my website has more or less flatlined completely and this is a concern, not least because I'd usually have the next few months booked by now too.

I’m plodding along ok, but I am very PT and too lazy to do more if I’m honest. I’m happy to only see 10/12 per week.
I will say though new client enquiries have definitely increased in the last week which I am putting down to the profile verification process and many profiles dropping off AW because of this.

I'm v. part time too, I don't see anywhere this number a week or even in a month! I am always curious to know what others mean by part-time, so it is interesting to see some idea of clients a week.

I'm really glad AW's new verification is working in your favour  :)

I'm very part time as well. Think the most I've ever seen is 4 in one day and 8 in the space of five days.
Pre covid, a busy month would be around 25-30 bookings. Now I'm happy with half that  :)

Post by: amy on 21 October 2021, 01:02:41 am
Well by the usual standards I would think the vast majority here are part time - I doubt many are doing forty hours of bookings every week, week in and week out?

I'd also raise an eyebrow at the idea that ten to twelve bookings a week is 'very' part time unless it's some kind of weird stealth boast - I work four days a week and twelve bookings would be average for me (as in not busy but not quiet either). Very part time to me would be somebody doing a handful of bookings (less than one a day) a week or even a month.

This thread often gets derailed with similar stuff when people rightly question how any of it can mean anything when everybody's idea of busy and quiet is different. The answer is it doesn't mean anything; it's a repository thread for posters to have a moan and was created way back when to stop the section being bunged up with dozens of threads all about the same thing when somebody's phone hadn't rung for an hour (ditto the Hello thread).

Then one of us separates these posts and adds it to one of the 'What do you call busy/quiet?' threads, this one gets back on topic and we all live happily ever after until it starts all over again :).

Amy's post more of less summed up many of my thoughts and are in line with my own. Her 'definition' of very part-time is exactly how I view it/work - I do this alongside a full time job so see a handful of clients a month (which usually works out to one per week).

I am always incredibly curious when people mention they're part time too as often, their volume is very different to my own. It's like when some talk about being 'low volume' then talk about how they see 3 clients a day, 5 days a week. To my mind, that's not low volume at all. However, when juxtaposed with someone who sees up to 10 clients a day, then yes, it's low volume.

It's all relative really and it's always interesting to see others' definition of what are actually nebulous terms.

I work from 9 am to 9 pm usualy 6 days a week.  I'm touring cities in Scotland.
There is obviously a serious setback in work.  I had 6-8 guests a day at the beginning of this year and even in the summer.  Mostly 1 hour bookings.  After from September and October is much weaker.  I have an average of 3-5 bookings a day and 90 percent are 15- 30 minutes.

If it isn't Black Friday being the reason it must be the increasing cost of living.

Perhaps keep our prices competitive.

Post by: Nadya on 10 November 2021, 11:41:03 am
I gave up yesterday, one booking and two the day before.  There has definitely been a slow down since the summer.  For other reasons (mainly my booking having been cancelled) I am taking the rest of the week off, only had two incall potential bookings anyway, it just is not worth it just to end up with enough for the rent.

Tbh, I think it's all relative to which market you're catering to, how big your client base it, coupled with what your targets how/what you class as busy.

I went into this month with no bookings from any of my UK clients which was expected given travel to US was about to open up and knew they would be headed out there. However, several US clients have resurfaced, and I have been busy enough already this month that I do not have to worry about how the rest of this month pans out.

I think this could be it too but things have improved a bit this week, heard from a few guys I've not seen since the first lockdown though a lot of the older guys still haven't resurfaced.
I have no intention of reducing my rates though, the guys that really want to see you will pay.
The lady that said she was seeing 6 to 8 a day before... wow good on you! I'd be happy with that a week. As Miffy said, what anyone classes as busy is very subjective.
Fingers crossed that guys will be treating themselves in the run up to Christmas!

I feel the same. This industry is always up and down and that is just how it is. It's not always to do with the amount we charge. I personally don't see the point of keep dropping prices if it's a quiet week i just accept it. If the clients keep seeing price changes going down by a lot there radar is on for more advantage taking. 

 I ride the storm through and save on the good days so don't get so stressed if it's quiet or dead.

THIS.

I was about to open a new thread under the title "Business is not making sense anymore" but decided not to give more work to the mods so will put this here. Yes: Business makes no feckin sense whatsoever. One week is super busy another is week is dead. October used to be phone madness for me. It's so strange.

I'm in central London.

Its really weird, I figured it was because I am always in the same location. I am also just about breaking even at the moment, then a small amount is going to go towards a few bills this month. Its nowhere near as busy as it usually is. I think I am going to begrudgingly go back to camming and doing some content as well as my motivation for work has just hit rock bottom and it seems like its time to look at others ways to make money now.

I had 4×1hr bookings today (2 regulars and 2 returning clients from ages ago). Really needed a boost of confidence and to see the light at the end of the tunnel..

I'm in such a dire financial situation after practically not working for so long, but still having to pay for my incall flat - through my savings and SEISS grants, I really need to get in  a mode of consistent 4-5 per day.  I hope things will improve for us all from next week onwards..

I drove all the way to Birmingham yesterday and only did one job which covered my hotel honestly it’s so bad out there at the moment.  I just want to tell all ladies this tough time will pass and want to assure everyone we are all in the same boat. I’m used to making loads of money and for the moment it’s just not happening.

I’m from and work in Birmingham - terrible isn’t it! All week my bookings have pretty much only been covering my hotel and travel costs :(

Great to hear that you had such a lucrative day nachos, fingers crossed for it to continue!
My phone was going crazy this morning, yay! thinks me, things are picking up!  All reliable returning clients .. problem was they all wanted around the same damn time!  :FF  The sods law of escorting!
So what could have been 4 bookings today remained at just 1  :-[

That is the law ;D Even better is when they start cancelling and chopping and changing and you realise that you've cleared and rebooked the same slot six or seven times in the last hour.

I haven't found it especially quiet or especially busy (despite apparently ALL of us being in the same boat), but I'm not high volume and 2-4 a day is fine for me. What did give me a shock is sitting down today to work out my Christmas and New Year hours and realising that with one thing and another I only have eighteen full work days left before Christmas, and then I'm barely available until after New Year (and not properly until the second week), so I ought to really pull my bloody finger out  :(

So a few returning clients here as well so that's great. its like they have all been in hibernation  ::) I am high flow so I really notice when it gets quiet but I know lots of people who are low flow too and we have literally all been struggling since after summer holidays, it just sort of dwindled slowly.

I haven't worked for the last 2 weeks and just started today, I have 2 bookings so far 1x1h and 1x30'. I had calls and texts but when I tell them what time I can see them, they can't make it or it's too late for them. See how it goes, I was thinking maybe I'll drop my prices a little in december if it will be quiet like now..

I understand that, but once you lower your prices, it can be hard to reinstate them. Also, someone watch profiles and if they notice you lowering them, they will haggle for a further reduction.

Rather than drop your prices you could try marketing it as a special offer for Xmas

Say book an hour and get an  extra 30 mins for half price  or a 10% off for all bookings over 2 hours etc or something that makes them feel they are getting something special without you having to drop your prices and then have a fight putting them back up

I don't know what to say, I have days when my phone rings non stop and then days where i barely get a text.

I think it is just up and down atm one week ok one week not. It's up to you if you want to drop prices of course but i would suspect your prices are fine. The way i look at it a 10 or 20 pound price drop don't always make much difference if there spending anyway on escorts.

If it's any comfort I am experiencing just the same as you describe regarding the polar opposite nature of calls/texts from one day to the next and the way this thread is reading recently I think many others are too.
I very much doubt it has anything to do with your pricing as you say you still have days when the phone rings none stop. It's just a bit of a weird time we are all going through just now but, as with all things, I'm sure it will pass.
I wouldn't lower your rates but as someone else suggested, maybe market it as a short term offer if you are really worried and need to get some cash in quick then you have the option to go back to normal rates when you choose.

I wasn't planning to lower them permanently, was thinking more of a december offer something like that.

I hope it will pick up for everyone so we don't have to worry anymore.

Dont reduce your prices. Maybe you could do a special offer on certain days of the week, or for certain times of the day. Or even start doing 15 min bookings. That way you can still make your targets , and pay your rent and bills. Don't panic ladies, I think its just a quiet month.  I am normally really busy, and I have been extremely quiet this month. 1 -2 client a day......sometimes none at all.   I am going to do some special offers myself, and test what works.

I think it is slower because of the cost of living having gone up.  It won't be just Black Friday.  That is what I think anyway!

I was having a look on AW earlier and I noticed a lot of ladies have increased their prices which I'm guessing is due to cost of living increasing plus loss of earnings over the past year and a bit.

I have introduced a special for advance bookings only. I have found it is working really well and definitely made me a lot busier and had enable me to plan my time and diary accordingly. I think people are still cautious of the virus and getting back ‘to normal’ I have also seen ladies advertising specials for certain days and returning clients. Being proactive always helps and I find blogs on adultwork help with returning custom.  My takings for November 2021, in comparison with November 2019 are £1500 ish down 😱. Think I’m averaging 3 clients per day, sometimes more. This is only short term, things will get back if not better. X

Thanks Blossom_midlands those are great ideas!

I'm not looking to lower my prices but offering specials for advanced bookings would be a great idea in terms of extra time rather than hourly discounts as I'm low volume anyway and clients always end up staying past the allotted hour.

I've put my prices up by £20 last week, for the first time in 10 years. Although my faithful regulars still get the old prices.
I'm kind of bricking it right now as it is rather slow, but going back down is not an option lol

I'm kind of swithering about mine, although was thinking of dropping at least half hour and hour bookings as I only do outcalls and have very limited availability, so also increasing prices might be too much

It's been the slowest week I've ever had this last week.

I'm aw from home now till next Sunday when there is less comp on, had a few enquiries so hoping it picks up tomorrow and Saturday when I'm free

Yes, it's been quiet and seems to get quieter. I think COVID is still holding some customers back there is much less old clients visiting my sauna than when I was there last 9 years ago. With Xmas coming up many clients are probably feeling the pinch. And more girls working, see my previous post. It's tough out there. I dont think the money is in the game like it was 10+ years back

Very slow for me, I'm not even getting any messages. I'm happy to coast for now but I'll be making some tweaks and changes to my profile in the new year to freshen things up a bit. At the moment I'm working one day per week up north but I want to change that and do a stretch of four days per month in London. Risky for sure but I know London very well and have potential clients who follow me on twitter so I feel like taking the plunge for the new year. I'm quite niche so I feel it's worth taking a risk. Can't be any worse than the current stale situation!

To say it's bad is an understatement. I did'nt realise how bad it would be. Not even the " shiny new girl syndrome" is working. Not for me at least. Any potential outcall bookings I had were originally requests for incalls  :FF  or  too far for me  to feel  comfortable travelling too especially after years of not escorting.

But now I'm thinking...damn, If I knew how bad it was going to be I would of just taken them. Not only were they typically 1.5 to 2 hours away but they were in the bloody morning ( rush hour  and at airport hotels)

 ! I've tried every trick in the book such as launch a blog, private gallery etc etc so now I'm just going to put AW to the side and focus on my other business and if a decent booking comes along, then it comes but I'm not going to waste every waking hour letting this escorting business consume me ( because I have since I made the decision to re-start escorting 2 weeks ago ) or  waiting for AW to rescue me. On the bright side, at least my profile is up and running and I have made money from phone chat. Money is money at the end of the day  :)

There are a few threads about blogs if you do a search - if you intend posting yours on AW bear in mind there are (surprise!) a fairly strict set of rules as to what's allowed. If you do your own obviously this doesn't apply - I write mine and then copy and paste it over to AW when I can be arsed to edit out all the bits that won't meet with their approval  ::).

I was especially pleased to have crowbarred in the word 'cuntery' this week :D

Back on topic, this week seems to have been the one where everybody decides to make their bookings nicely and then start the pissing about afterwards; not confirming on time and still expecting me to have held the time for them, the perennial Called Into A Meeting and the rest. I'm sick to bloody death of feeling like I've worked non stop all day yet earned a couple of hours' worth  >:(

I wasn't gonna go in today as I only had one booking and nothing else and didn't feel like trekking across London to my work flat for 1 booking only. Good job I did, as I immediately got 2×1hr bookings and 90 min with a regular at the last minute. But the bellend that pre-booked in advance had to cancel at last minute as he urgently got called into the office. 🙄

Tomorrow is gonna be hardcore- I've got 5 bookings practically back to back with 15-20 min breaks in between. 10am-6pm. It's pretty risky booking so close together, but the first three are solid regulars (so will be on time etc) and the last one 90min have seen me before covid (although I can't remember who the heck he is). So fingers crossed it will all work out.

I haven't done so many in a day since probably 2 years ago before covid, so I'm gonna be totally knackered and delirious by the evening 👀

Why is it always that they all want to come on the same bloody day??

I think this industry you can always make some good money but like any business certain months can be slower then other's which is just the natural order. I know a fair few industries outside of sex work that are having a slow December. I always just take it as it is. I am lucky i don't feel i need to drop any prices and certainly won't go hungry or cannot pay my bills. Sometimes i look at it as a extra bit of a holiday period to enjoy so there is some benefits of extra time out.

Wondered why it was so quiet today. Bugger, since advertising my number things actually picked up for me, but most of the newer guys have never had an account on AW. Perhaps I need to think about advertising elsewhere now.

December had been pretty busy for me up until this new AW number change. Yesterday and Wednesday I had mostly advance bookings but had noticed the phone was a lot quieter. Today I don’t have anyone booked in yet. Usually I’d have a lot of enquiries in the morning but I’ve had one call and 2 texts so far all timewasters. I think the AW number situation plus the new advise to work from home is really not going to help us
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: MissElvira on 10 December 2021, 12:26:24 pm
The number change on AW now makes sense why I'm getting loads more messages from new profiles with 0 feedback but I was unaware of this change until reading it here. AW is much stricter on what can be said on a profile like Duo which will now get a profile deactivated.W8sh AW would send out emails with the changes they make. I will advertise on a few different sites now and see if that helps with getting new clients but my profile views are down last week. Time to save the pennies I think and take a few weeks off this month and see what happens. If we get another lockdown a week before Christmas then that's going to be a real pain to earnings and working.

Available for incalls today, across multiple advertising sites and … 1 text so far, where I would’ve had a dozen by now, 🤷🏻‍♀️ (And usually at least a booking or two would’ve transpired) - wtf is happening at the moment,. Stressing would be an understatement. Seriously don’t know how to survive these slow as fuck years(!!) it’s turning into. Taking a toll on my mentality and I’m so tired and confused by the whole situation. 😩

I was worried about working this week but I've been busy and had to turn work away which I did not predict from my last visit to the area. I find putting my dates up in a few weeks advance helps to get AW booking requests which makes me stress less, No cancellations either. The story is that the guys I'm seeing are fitting in a punt while out Christmas shopping in town. But I am worried about next month with the new variant. There's no way in these times to predict one week to the next.

AW number is only hidden in App. I've put on my profile to check main site for my contact number.

Trying to feel optimistic so made the mistake of paying for the twat magnet today ( otherwise known as AT) as it's my last full day before Christmas.
My phone hasn't stopped ringing since 8.30am. It's now 11.45am and I am still waiting to secure an actual booking even though I've had more calls this morning than I've had all week  :FF

Thanks Missy but not holding my breath, literally just had another one, and guess what, he was already stored in my phone as a CE timewaster.

I originally thought that too when i paid for it for the first couple of times nothing but messers and liars but more calls then it settled and got bookings on other times but obviously it will bring in the fantasists as they see the available today and assume the phone will def be answered.

My experience of using the available today is the same as Fallen Angels and if anything it loses me bookings, because after a couple of hours of nothing but the dregs calling and texting I'm more likely to get pissed off and just sack it for the rest of the day. There are enough punters in central London not to need it, thankfully.

I still think the above point about patience is true though - the timewasters are always the first to get in touch because they don't need to worry about the logistics of travel or money or getting away for an hour, as they're not going to turn up anyway. I did despair a bit when people were ranting on the Vivastreet thread because they'd had an ad up for a day and only had timewaster calls; no business is built overnight, and I think my AW page had been up three weeks or so before I actually got a genuine booking from a bloke I wouldn't cross the road to avoid  ;D

Yes I guess eventually you will have blocked the majority of usual suspects but a bit like Amy, it puts me in a bad mood to the point I don't use it again for a while.
Maybe as TT said, the trick is to stick it on at 12.01 am, switch the phone off and by the time I've woken up at a sensible hour most of the idiots will have knocked themselves out, quite literally judging by the guttural tones of many when I answered, clearly having a wank, and they'll leave me alone. Can live in hope!
It didn't bring any extra business all day btw. Only had one booking with a reg who isn't a member of AW so wouldn't have been spurred on to see me via the use of AT
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: English Green on 23 December 2021, 10:14:15 pm
Yes this is why if i go to a new area and lets say not starting to 3pm sometimes i stick the phone on with AT by 12ish and by the time i start answering it at 3ish when at the hotel 70% of the calls are the known local fantasist freaks so then all the missed calls i block a lot of them so they never get to speak to me hahaha

But yes new ads or new women or new areas first calls are always the desperate fantasists who stalk waiting for numbers or AT to appear.

Most of the 'calls' I've had today have been from previously blocked numbers, boxing day bringing the twats out. One bloke with 2 numbers has tried calling me over 40 times in the space of an hour. He's too dumb to realise he's blocked, but 40 times.... knew I was right to block him, luckily never met! Most other enquiries have had CE reports, so going to call it a night I reckon.

Had two regs booked in today, one showed, one cancelled. Only other enquiry was from a CE timewaster.
Pretty damn slow

Well, congratulations on getting one!  :) If I got one, I'd be rewarding myself with a takeaway....oops already did!
and just as I was enjoying my third bite that's when my phone started ringing ......but my mouth was too full to answer  >:( 

Now that I'm advertising incalls, 2 people tonight wanted outcalls! One was an arsehole I had seen before, and I really wish I hadn't answered the phone as it ruined the rest of what was a bloody yummy meal. I'm gonna take my anger out on some biscuits while writing a report for the time waster and warning section. Thanks Fallen Angel for confirming that there is indeed life on earth!

 Thanks' Gypsy and Champagne lover, my optimism is slowly returning.  :) It's great to know that January has got potential! In the mean time, I'm just going to work on my phone manor because the timewasters are making me sound like a defensive bitch. I'm treating everyone that calls me as a potential serial killer which probably doesn't help.  ;D

Yes I think you're right EG, I'll be happy with one a day on the days I'm working the way things are at the min.
Well my newbie turned up this morning and was talking about next booking as he left so all good but phone been quiet since.
I think I need to concentrate on getting new regs to replace the ones who haven't returned since lockdown.

They seem to be obsessed with postcodes because a lot of it can bring up exact address. Also i might tell them a road name that they know of and i say i am just 1 minute from there and they come out with crap like can i have full postcode to see how far??? Well it's bullshit as they only need to put on an extra 1 minute to there journey and they know where the landmark i gave them.

I get you, I am trying to go indie and no inquiries I got this month turned into bookings, the punters who message are asking me questions that are in my profile so they obv didn't read it or text me "hi babe" and when I let them now how to book they don't get back etc. But I know we can do it, once we get where to advertise for the type of client that is looking to book us, plus I think January is generally quiet anyway x

I worked two days this week and had one client per day which I don't think has happened to me before. Glad I have savings but I've dipped into them this week. I'm kind of thinking this is the new normal due to so many people doing sex work. Or maybe we just have to wait for them to break their New Year's resolution of giving up punting.

This is such a good point on New Year's Resolutions! I had it slow before Christmas and put that down to people being spent out, or with their families. Then New Year comes round and they're either desperate to see us or think it's a good time to stop seeing escorts.... Give it a bit of time ;) ones that have said this to me, have come back ;) x

First week in January was super-busy. Last week was a complete bust so I packed up and went home.
I usually find the 2nd week in Jan busy but it had a dead feeling to it before I even set off on tour so I wasn't surprised.
I'm confident the next two weeks will be better (although I don't usually tour last week in Jan but I do think it will be good this year).
I work first 3 weeks of Feb too.
Hopefully we'll all tick along nicely.

Slow day, Timewasters and 3 people cancelled...One woke up with a cold, Another had to travel for work and another got called into work. No shows, So annoying. I'm thinking of only taking advanced bookings with deposits. I Don't think these guys realise some of us have to plan ahead, Pay for accommodation and then sit around. I'd pack it in today but I do have a regular booking this evening thankfully. Always worst with TW if I go Available today. Not had a day this bad in ages.

On another note, There's been talk of doing websites. How easy is it to set up and do you need to use a company Web designers?

As miffy recommended and replied you don’t need Web designer companies. I am in the process of having my website being put together. Elrond whose name is Steve was recommended by ladies on this forum who have had their website done by him. I am very happy with him, his professionalism, respect and taking into account how I wanted the site to look.

I did think about it for a few months whilst I was waiting for adultwork to verify my profile so if it is a consideration have a good think about how you would like your site to look. All the best x

What's the opinion on asking for deposits with ore-bookings? I would love to have some control of planning my days when I book apartments to work. Today I've just felt so fed up, I did use the twiddling thumbs time to take some new pics contorting myself into poses made me realise I might benefit from yoga classes lol

Deposits are mandatory for all (my) pre-booked outcalls. I think you might struggle with securing deposits for incall bookings, irregardless of whether they're advance bookings or on the day. Others might be able to advise differently. Again, use the search box as I know there are numerous threads about this topic.

All my i calls pay deposits unless they are regulars. I find most of my clients pay by transfer non stop and I love it i don’t have to go to the bank or hold cash in the room.

Post by: EvelynWho on 19 January 2022, 11:23:26 pm
Just to chime in, if it helps anyone feel more confident with asking for a deposit.. I also ask for deposits for all meetings, incalls and outcalls alike, - bar maybe 2 incredibly reliable clients who’ve never cancelled, gone quiet or even rescheduled come to think of it, but even those the minute they let me down they’d be paying a deposit for the next time.
//
Messages/calls wise it’s slowly picking up for me lately, I’ve been moving my locations around about once a week or so, and using a few diff sites, as I had been beforehand but now in regularly updating those as well as AW, - outcalls have been popular the last couple weeks which is just such a relief 😮‍💨

Totally the same for me this week, I really can't remember one as bad as this.
One 30 min this morning and he was the first I've seen since last Friday!
Plenty of idiots and timewasters about, just my opinion denise96 but I wouldn't waste credits on AT, it always just seems to attract idiots when I've used it.
Fingers crossed for some improvement soon.

It was dead for me last week but this week has gone back to normal. I seriously considered touring last week, which I also never do, I even tested a new area yesterday with AT but that wasn't as good as I thought it'd be. Just 5 or 6 calls with no CE feedback.

The last 2 weeks has got really busy again. Turning away a lot of bookings. You really never know with this industry or the areas you work in how things go in extremes.

Without seeing your website, ads and pictures, it's hard to comment on if you're doing anything wrong. Chances are you are not. You need to take into consideration you are starting in a very erratic, abnormal and slightly depressed climate. In addition to this, you're new, it takes time to build any business.

FWIW, using Twitter and advertising on every site you can think of doesn't necessarily translate to clients. If you're struggling to attract clients, it might be time to reassess how you advertise, not only your socials and ads, but your website, pricing and services too - look at your competition and see how you measure up to them.

Unfortunately not, one timewaster called first thing then a ridiculous email requesting some weird and outlandish scenario which was just too stupid to warrant a reply and that was it.

3x 30 min bookings has been my total this week   :-[    surely it can't continue like this!?

I do worry it's going to be hard with the fuel crisis and tax hike this year and the tightening of belts, My rates are slightly lower than most English girls in my area but I'm wondering if it's going to be a up and down year. I've not been escorting long enough to have any wisdom on how things will be from the past. I'm definitely worried, After covid messing with working now cost of living is soaring. I'm working around payday this month so I'm hoping it won't be to slow but it's hard to predict.

Yes I know how you feel MissElvira. Hotels very pricey now plus petrol for tours. Need to just tour only as not feasible at home with my sons college hours. Come spring need to rely on touring. Will keep my prices good but will just do two or three tours monthly and see how I go.o

I know I can't sit in hotel rooms weekly. It would drive me up the wall!

I have always found the economy has affected this job. Been doing this 9 years ...

Definitely a dead day. :'(  I had 1 phone call all weekend.  He was also a wanker beating his tail as he tried to keep it in line me. :FF  Brexit has also worsened the UK situation.  It will be February next week.  If it doesn't improve until March, I'll go back to Europe to work.  Switzerland, Belgium, Germany .... UK I think it took a deep flight for years or decades.

3 no shows wednesday, none had anything on CE, 6 no shows this week alone but thanks to a few regs making long bookings I've done alright this week. Last week was rubbish though, available 6 days, got 3 days if work. Today lots of timewasters already on my block list. Lots of texters today too. Ignored.

Hi lush :) Yes I'm the same with having to work outside the home due to family. I'm finding that if I put my dates up 2 weeks in advance I atheist get enough pre-bookings to make it worth it. But saying that last time a few cancelled with excuses of waking up with a cold. I don't like hotels and manage to find serviced apartments for £100 a day, Regulars are my main income atm.

I know somebody working in a cheap massage parlour sheffield and there it's busier than usual, if you see the ladies 40-60 years old you don't expect men would pay them for a blowjob, but it seems the price is important for guys these days .
I increased my rates 3 weeks ago and suddenly it was rubbish, i change back my rates and it's ok now

Oh, but they do! I'm well into my late forties and don't feel as if I'm any less desirable than if I was in my twenties. I have been doing this since my twenties on and off and it's only now that I realise my worth. Never assume that older ladies should be cheaper. Obviously we are in a difficult situation with the economy and it's good business practice to be dynamic with your prices but nobody should sell themselves short because they're older than 30.

I wanted to say same thing,but honestly i didn't expect a 64 yo to be active, they have same prices like other parlours around where are some younger girls.
So ageing i don't it's such a big problem, i was saying some of these parlours are busier then indies only because they have slightly cheaper rates then the average indie in area.
So nobody need to panic if it's slow now, the clients will never quit maybe they chose cheaper prices now but once the economy it's better you will get back your regulars, i don't have too much experience as escort but this is how i see things going.

I charge approximately the same in my niche as others half my age. I'm not charging less! I know touring escorts half my age with boobs jobs who aim for PSE charge a premium as do those who do BDSM but that's their business. The clients I get are the ones who want what I offer and nobody else in my area does what I do. I'm not saying I'm anything special or raking it in but getting enough calls to keep me happy.

I do remember years ago massage parlers never did that well for older ladies they all seemed to want younger women so a lot of 40 or 50 year old women would always be put out as age 28 or 29 which was stupid and a lot of clients would know there a lot older but that was before pictures/the internet and adultwork became so popular, since then older women have never been more popular especially if you look good in your photo's. A lot of men really like the MILF thing.

Back on topic please - even if the ridiculous ageism hadn't already been done to death, it is not the the subject of this thread.

It's also worth remembering that some posters' incredulity that people of all ages can and do earn a good living in prostitution says far more about them than the people they're talking about.

It's been fine for me over in the Square Mile, and the last couple of weeks particularly busy - this is taking 2-4 bookings a day, but I've turned plenty away too because I'm not bothered about more than that. The pattern I'm seeing currently is that the office punters are coming back into town two or three days a week and so they're keen to make the most of the time they're here (and obviously the builders, public sector and transport workers still haven't gone anywhere :)).

I'm based here too, so if I was visiting I would expect (and likely get) more.

Had a dreadful January tour here across the pond😡, made half of what I’d done last year. Fairly anxious about what February will hold. Seems to be pretty quiet overall; obviously Omicron has a bit to do with it but no one seems to be doing all that well.

There’s the usual ranting on the monger boards: “These bitches keep raising their rates! What ever happened to $50 hhrs? Why do you idiots keep paying these dumb hoes these prices?” Blah blah blah….

Basically many clients will be curbing their spending this year due to the cost of living increases.

We need to be more careful in terms of our own spending and scrimp where we can.

Just my view. Trust my luck now my son is old enough I can tour. Now we get all these living costs shooting up!

Though there will always be some clients who may be ok and afford to keep visiting.

I also think this is just how it is now. Maybe not as quiet as it is right now but when we have good weeks, those are the exception not the rule. Far more competition. I'm glad I just work three days a week though.

I do think a lot more competition out there and so many more women offering bareback now too that would not have previously. Lots seem to be thinking up extra services to offer to get the work in. Up to them though obviously.

I don't think anymore restriction lifting will make any difference i thought most of it was over anyway. I was busy on two different tours couple of weeks ago and did well and turned down bookings of men i never wanted to see but i genuinely find Feb not a great month for men spending on there hobbies so i just take some of it off.

Yes totally, I'm saving as much as I can as I feel that this could be a tough year.
I don't know why many of these guys are moaning/surprised that we are raising our rates, our outgoings are rising just like theirs and many of my clients with their own businesses have said they have had to incease their costs to customers.
Yes there will always be guys with plenty of disposable income come what may, thanks god!

They can book the cheaper women prices but no they want what they cannot afford which makes it more insulting. There is so many to choose from at everybody's price range but they feel the need to show themselves up.

 I saw a guy recently that i had seen before and he said i forgot the price is blah blah enough i said no its blah blah he said oh sorry is there any chance i could pay the cheaper price ? I said no shall i cancel the booking then? He said no. He came along anyway but he bangs on about when was last time i gad a flow test for covid and have i def had all 3 jabs for covid which he asked last time. Plus enquires if there is kissing on offer or owo so only concerned with covid i said OWO can pass on STI' s and kissing would be a easier way to catch covid just so you know hahaha

Today I have had 1 of my 2 advanced bookings (deposits paid) confirm in the morning and then message about 50 minutes before their appointment time to say they had just done a lateral flow test which had came back positive so they wouldn't be able to see me, what would happen with their deposit?

Then also today I have had someone book earlier for 4pm and then message at 3:30pm asking if I would do discreet bb for extra pay.

Hmm I can see plenty jumping on this band wagon as a way of trying to get deposits back.
 It's like the old, "crashed my car on the way over" .. or "my granny just got taken into hospital."
We're all pretty sure its BS but you look like a hard faced bitch if you call them out on it.
I think it's just best to rigidly stick with a blanket no refunds policy and make that clear on your profile.
He should have done the test before confirming, which you would think anyone with a brain would have done anyway.

I had a regular short change me saying he couldn't get the full amount out of the cash machine which I know was bull, Quite a few ask if I'd do 30 minutes for less, Many cancel bookings due to waking up with a cold. I did think of taking deposits and stating if they cancel due to illness or similar I would hold deposit for when they are better and do a booking in the future. I need the funds but this messing around is killing my will to work. I have to spend out before I earn, I'm definitely not making what I was before covid and with the squeeze on people now with everything going up might have to get use to this. I think I'll work less and advertise in advance and ask for deposits to pre-book but worried it will put people off especially married guys and enquiries are down this month.

I don't ask for deposits but I get very few advance bookings nowadays. Had a couple a few weeks ago and all but 1 confirmed so now I'm saying call the day before or in the morning.

I'm doing the same, I take advance bookings with a pinch of salt now, so many cancel on the day that I'm expecting it. Don't know if they change their mind about spending the money or are always on the look out for cheaper but it seems if you are not available at at very short notice its a waste of time.

I'm getting a really high percentage of callers who I have already blocked or bookaheads who never confirm on the day. I also installed CE+and a few numbers were flagged up on there. I'm getting near zero genuine clients call. Most of my clients were older men or from out of town and often married. I'm assuming the pandemic has something to do with this for health and work from home reasons.

I'm panicking a bit with needing to work this month and thinking for this month lowering rates a bit, If money is going to be tight with fuel and living costs going up it might be a smart thing to do or I might just be panicking. But most in my area are £200 an hour., I don't want to offer services I don't want to do to compete. Getting AW enquiries but from those with zero feedback and my experience askers are up and not actually booking.
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?

^^ Instead of reducing your rates, why don't you offer a small discount for advanced bookings? That might be a good compromise.

It's difficult to tell with incomplete information but this seems to be true across the board?

I'm not cutting my rates nor am I bundling extra services. If the market isn't there it isn't there. If clients can afford top tier pricing they can afford me. I'm priced middle tier. I know a couple of local escorts have undercut by £10 and make a big thing of more PSE style services but I don't want to attract the kind of clients I suspect they get.

I don't see why I should cut my rates when every company out there is raising theirs. It's not my job to subsidise dividend payments for profiteering big oil or an incompetent government.

Thanks Miffy I tried the discount for pre bookings but didn't make a difference. And what you say tickle makes sense, I have a good profile and I'm £20 cheaper than others but I'm definitely not going back to offering owo just to attract clients and going OW made no difference to my relief and peace of mind. Just have to hold tight and see how it goes. I've only been escorting a short time starting 2019 and charging higher does attract more enjoyable clients meaning I don't burnout.

Post by: Miffy on 12 February 2022, 02:48:53 pm
Understanding your client-base is key, something you realise. I for one have never seen the point of reducing prices because once clients and would-be clients spot this, they might start haggling for further reductions.

It's still a really erratic climate, I hope things pick up for you and have no doubt it will. We're coming out of a two-year pandemic and it's not a question of returning to normal, because the old normal no longer exists. While it is terrible for planning, all anyone can do is sit tight and take each day as it comes.

It may be that clients don't go on holiday so much and visit us more instead. All I know is I will have to start going on cheaper holidays e.g. Bulgaria Poland as money needed elsewhere so perhaps others may be thinking along similar lines. We hope!

I had a guy cancel less than 1 minute after getting my postcode last week, less than 5 minutes after dialing my number, probably more like 2.5 minutes. He text right back 'sorry can't make it now'. Blocked.

Dead as a doornail apart from people I have already blocked. Odd that. Or people who phoned at stupid o' clock which I won't answer because my phone is off.

I don't mind the slowdown. It gives me lots of "me time". I also had the time to make a lovely cream chicken soup off French Cooking Academy. I might set aside time to rework my profile. Other than this find other things to be happy about. The winds will change when they change!

I don't think there's that much thought behind it - if they book and then cancel almost immediately I just assume that they didn't like the sound of me on the phone and didn't know how to say so, or maybe rechecked my ad and realised I didn't do one of the services they wanted or whatever. I just save them in my phone as 'BTC' so I know in the event they contact me again.

I've cancelled plenty of bookings shortly after taking them because something niggled at me after the call/text exchange and I decided not to risk it and I certainly wouldn't be putting their details on some phone app and potentially cost another woman a booking, at least if she was dumb enough to turn people down flat just because she found their number on it.

Thing is though if you are saying exactly what happened he cancelled 1 min after getting address and booking then thats the truth so anyone that see's it will just be aware and if they do it to them too then it's a pattern. So i don't think those reports will lose women work as a lot will still take those bookings. I seen some that have 7 reports and a woman will say should have listened to others but chanced it as he seemed fine to me. I think a lot of it gives you a heads up that it might happen so don't turn down another guy wanting same time.

I just think they are really unreliable it's more intentional when cancelled right at the last minute so they know they messed up your time and money and the ones that do not cancel and pretend there still coming those are the ones deliberate.

Today every single caller has got many reports. Only 1 regular booked in at 7 tonight so it’s gonna be a long arse day if nothing else comes in, I’ve also been put in an apartment with no heating in the bedroom and work being done in the next apartment so constant hammering (well I hope it’s a hammer and not a bed or I’ll be jealous) fingers crossed it’s just a slow start

I had an advance booking this morning but nothing but blocked clients trying to call me. No calls since 11am. Dead today. Luckily my advance booking was a 2hr one, and I was pretty fucked after 3 times lol. Got 2 more 2 hr advance bookings this week so hopefully it won't be too bad, I'm low turnover anyway as part time.

I've always been low volume filling a particular kind of milfy niche. Nothing but timewasters now and almost all calls are from men I have already blocked as timewasters or not suitable for one reason or another.

I can only speculate but the financial crisis and Brexit hit the economy. Media coverage is pretty woeful so clients are depressed. The pandemic hammered trade and clients have have lost the habit. The cost of living crisis is high on everyone's mind. It doesn't stop the timewasters though. They have returned with a vengeance!

I'm suspecting the sms booking enquiry late last night for an outcall later this week is a timewaster. He was probably in bed wanking off and I can see which direction this is going to slide. Today no calls not even any timewasters or deadbeats I blocked.

I picked up a whiff on social media an American escort mentioning a booking she had and how slow it has been. So this slowdown may be a global thing?

Only on AW, but the amount I've blocked is unreal. Most as I say are timewasters or far too needy. Tbh I just like doing massage and gfe. I'm Gloucestershire. I took roleplay off my services because of the amount of timewasters, now considering taking domme off too.

Sadly he didn't call. That never happened before with a regular marked as a five star. He either got overexcited  and cooled off the next day but there may also be another reason and think I know what that may be. That's a disappointment for now but if it is this then it's a positive for me even if it costs me the rare client.

As for milf-gloss comments I've been asked for roleplay and domme and they don't agree with me for similar reasons. I unmarked those on my profile and now refuse point blank. I just do GFE.

I'm not lowering rates as that's a mugs game but I think the bottom has dropped out of the market for me. The pandemic, a series of economic squeezes, and press negativity is killing it. Since the financial crash and a spillover from London I now have double the competition. People have less money. The tone of the media has become more puritanical. I'm not doing things I don't want to do so adjusting life plans in other directions. That day had to come anyway.

Yes, AW subs are mostly tw's. 7/10 are in my experience anyway.

I do have quite a lot of business that comes from roleplay though. It's funny how different people experience different things.

Sorry to hear that Tickle and thanks for your comments. I find the majority of role play and subs just want to tell you their fantasies and I've met some very poor subs who have shitty attitudes to escorts, not very submissive. I want to do tantric but due to surgery I couldn't afford it as I had a few weeks off. I'm going to start saving for this again and hopefully soon offer tantric instead of domination. It's just not me. I enjoy gfe, I cam be myself, or at least fake it enough to keep them happy, whereas being domme and role play is an act and I'm not comfortable with it. Hopefully things pick up for us all x

You forgot the all important word SOME. Some people have less money. Some haven't been affected at all by Brexit and the economic squeeze/rising inflation.

As I have said quite a few times in the thread, I think too many are expecting things to return to normal/how things were pre-pandemic. They won't because that normal no longer exists. I do think that for some men, they have got used to not seeing escorts these past few years, and are simply no longer interested. Also, they have possibly got used to having more money in their pocket and spending it on other things. I know only too well that many men are still seeing escorts as normal, many of whom are spending large sums of money to do so.

Apologies if this isn't very encouraging, but it is about being realistic. If you aren't attracting clients, maybe time to reinvent yourself/re-write your ads and look at your offering. And if you do this, again, it will take time to attract new clients, but you could end up with many reliable regulars (and lose all time wasters in the process).

Lastly, are you niche in anyway? If you are, this can work for you but also against you. I realise this might sound patronising, I really don't mean it too, but being niche means things can be deadly quiet at times for no discernible reason.

As ever, I hope and am sure it picks up for those who are struggling.

Those that are quiet, do you have your own websites? Because that does bring in nicer punters in my view and you write well which is a bonus for blogging and getting those classier clients.

I was getting a guy to do it for me, a friend of a domme I know, but he got covid and disappeared. I am going to try the Elron guy mentioned a few times.

There's a site I'm on for escorts and hookups which mostly make their money off merchandise where I used the cam room to passively advertise for clients. I've got a fair few clients off there and had a few half decent conversations. Now? Absolutely nothing happening there but lurkers and freeloaders. I seriously don't have the patience for going on and having a room full of people wank off with zero engagement and disappear. I haven't seen another escort who advertises on there online for months.

Definitely not feeling flush lately, Think it will be a case of working to just keep ticking over with a cut back on any luxury stuff and save as much as possible. Enquiries are non existant except a few fantasy subs and TW on AW. Working a few days next week and dreading it really because one thing that is guaranteed the usual idiots asking "What's ur Postcode" Messers. I'm asking God for strength to stay zen right now lol

I got stuck in London for the weekend when all the train were cancelled yesterday, so decided to work today instead as all I got yesterday was punters wanting outcalls to the other side of town and there was no way I was going out (even if I could be arsed to do outcalls, which I can't).

Given that my part of town isn't exactly jumping on a weekend at the best of times I didn't have high hopes but it's been pretty much non stop from 8am until 5 o'clock when I sacked it, and four of the six I saw said they were also stuck here because of the trains. It's totally made up for yesterday, which when your rent is like mine is a blessed relief  :)

Obviously the whole of the next week will now be shite ;D

Yes, I had a couple of those as well as one who offered a dinner date with a one hour booking afterwards; as pleasant a bloke as he sounded he made it clear he only expected to pay for one of them, and it wasn't the first one ::)

Anybody asking to 'meet up' or using the word 'meet' instead of 'booking' or 'incall' or whatever gets binned immediately anyway unless the rest of their message is perfect, when I explain that I won't be meeting them anywhere and if they want to see me I can offer an incall and they can come to my flat. Their ability to take a hint then becomes the deciding factor ;D.

At least another person who dislikes the use of 'meet', use of this word seems to be quite casual common place now  :'(

My response is usually to say I don't meet casually, I do offer bookings. I do have problems with ascertaining enquirers actual requirements many just ask for' availability' or 'are you free?'.

I don't like the word "meet" either. In my experience people who use the word "meet" tend to be users of sex hookup or niche kinks type of websites. This and "meet" has too many of the wrong emotional connotations for me. They're not men who take relationships seriously but nor are they men who want to pay for it.

Have a new regular asking me to meet up for coffee, They just go and spoil things when they do this. He is a nice guy and I like seeing him for a paid booking but what are they thinking will be the outcome of meeting up. I have things I want to do with my spare time outside of work and it's not meeting up with punters for coffee or dinner casually.  There's been a few rare times I've had a booking with a guy I'd of happily met for a date in the civvy world, Most after the time is up I just want to shower and detox them out of my mind.

I believe at least a few think we ought to be grateful that someone (anyone!) will actually stoop so low as to go out in public with us and provide a few quids' worth of food and drink, because otherwise we'd spend all our down time sitting alone in our flats staring at the wall wishing desperately to be carted off by some white knight type. The weapons-grade misogyny makes me  :-X >:(

'Meet' used as a noun is just shit, lazy English - I don't call the surgery and ask for a 'meet' with the doctor; I ask to make an appointment because that is what it's called. None of it is a massive deal on it's own, but for the same reason that I won't see a punter who can't or won't address me by name, the small things make up the big picture and if the picture is of somebody thick, rude and disrespectful then I don't want them in my flat.

I've never known it to be so dead. I used to get calls even during slow periods and when other escorts phone went dead. Now I'm getting no calls at all. I'm guessing my target market of older men and men traveling in or passing through has just evaporated because of the pandemic. I don't do PSE or kink which others in my area do and I'm not minded to do so just to get a client. I'm not even getting what I suspect are booty calls, and getting zero calls at night from men stuck in hotels which I wouldn't be answering now anyway.

I don't do kink or pse either, and I'm older, I do domme but turn many down for being more than I'm willing to accept. I had 3 today, 2 semi reg, 1 very reg. A few new calls. Hopefully things pick up for us all x

I'm still cautions. I'm following the science on isolation, contagion, mitigations, care for vulnerable people, potential risk of a mutation, and testing. We've had the financial crash, Brexit, a pandemic, and now a cost of living squeeze. The retail and hospitality sectors are currently downbeat about prospects. Like you say it may pick up but I have never known it to be so dead. I've had pretty much nothing since Christmas.

I’m in the North East area and it’s dead today, been like that since Christmas, Valentines day didn’t make a big difference either.

I have always found if I break my own rules it never goes well for me! You may the first to create a CE report on them! Rather you than me judging my some reports I've read.

I know what you mean about desperate times. I've been thinking more lately about an exit plan myself too. I have some medical stuff happening taking an ice age which can give you all kinds of mental health and life stresses because of this but like someone told me "trust the process". I'm bad at it myself but working my way towards prioritising life improvements and doing other things at the same time. It doesn't make anything happen sooner but when it happens other things will be sorted out too so overall everything makes a better outcome.

I pay rent for 1 bed in Knightsbridge, I don’t like many bookings a day normally I like 3-4 and stop my rent paid in 1 1/2 days. Now 1 or 2 booking a day if lucky, by end of week after rent £400-£800 in my pocket. My landlord know what I do, I tempted to offer him 1 hour and remove from rent but I don’t know how he react. He always friendly and do business with respect do not want to make things strange if he says no or he lose respect.

If £400-£800 a week left over after rent isn't enough for you Lorena I sympathise - your living costs must be horrendous.

Tickle, I realise you're likely to have personal commitments and a support network at your current location, but if not I would maybe think about trying somewhere else? You've mentioned wanting longer bookings with dinner and so on rather than straightforward bread-and-butter ones, but whilst the market for these certainly exists, it's vanishingly small and the punters who book them are - by and large - not scratching about on Adultwork.

I moved nearly 300 miles to get the sort of business I wanted, so I do have some idea about the frustration of spending time and effort on good marketing and a decent service offering just to get whinging hagglers and unhygienic, pig ignorant bigots who could barely string a sentence together and I couldn't continue as I was, but obviously I know it isn't that easy for everyone (and I also know that these punters would be perfectly fine for somebody else, just not me). Sometimes you have to recognise that your market isn't accessible to you in your current situation and then you can work out ways of making it so, if that makes sense?

I'd also suggest that if you want 'dates', forget about getting them through punters and just go on some dates :).

I'm pretty sure the landlord can be prosecuted for this now, so if he's any sort of decent type he'll say no anyway. I agree it's a pretty good way to find yourself without a flat sooner or later.

Yeah plus if you fall out with him or he goes funny on you for any reason, he can take you to court and pretend you haven't paid, it's not like you can get a receipt for a blowjob, imagine you turning up to court explain that you've paid him 😂

Same reason I always pay my landlord by bank transfer even though I could pay cash, I want a record, just in case.

I pay rent for 1 bed in Knightsbridge, I don’t like many bookings a day normally I like 3-4 and stop my rent paid in 1 1/2 days. Now 1 or 2 booking a day if lucky, by end of week after rent £400-£800 in my pocket. My landlord know what I do, I tempted to offer him 1 hour and remove from rent but I don’t know how he react. He always friendly and do business with respect do not want to make things strange if he says no or he lose respect.
£400-£800 per week after rent. Wow Thts good for London.
Please
Don’t mix business with pleasure with your landlord—such arrangements or suggestions never end well.

Must be misunderstanding about dinner dates. I was speaking  about normal booking. What you say about effort is true.

No I didn't misunderstand anything. The part about dinner dates was addressed to another poster, that's all :).

Tickle, I realise you're likely to have personal commitments and a support network at your current location, but if not I would maybe think about trying somewhere else? You've mentioned wanting longer bookings with dinner and so on rather than straightforward bread-and-butter ones, but whilst the market for these certainly exists, it's vanishingly small and the punters who book them are - by and large - not scratching about on Adultwork.

I have things going on offline which will impact things positively and grow my market or enable me to lean in other directions going forward. That's not something I want to discuss presently. It's personal and I don't want to count my chickens before they have hatched.

I do want to move at some point but that is mostly for personal reasons. Work reasons may align or conflict. I will cross that bridge when I come to it.

My comments about what markets I want to operate in are speculative. This and having my own website is not an immediate priority. I may have to ditch some ideas or reapply them in more accessible ways or do new things with my marketing or find ways to develop the market. I can't do everything I want to yet but some things will be possible later. It's not a schedule I can hurry but something I can think through while I am twiddling my thumbs. (I'll add that most of my prior life experience involved an amount of R&D so some thinking is about what may be possible and how and doesn't always happen, or if it does happen it happens its own time or someone else can do it first or better.)

Well nobody is asking or expecting anybody to post identifying or personal information, especially when it's nothing to do with sex work, but if I'd had virtually no bookings since Christmas I would be seriously rethinking my MO (and on the verge of being evicted). If you have enough coming in from other sources then that's great - it just wasn't clear from your post.

I'm off until Monday now, having lost two of my bookings yesterday when an appliance blew all the fuses in my flat and it took me the best part of an hour to figure out what it was and get it back on. That was just what I needed right before a long weekend >:(

Tickle i used to only get dinner date type clients through my own outcall websites when i was highly ranked for the areas i wanted. Adultwork clients are not the type that usually want a proper escort dates with social time too, they mostly are only interested in lots of sex services and that is it so you will struggle if that is your main source.

Exactly, after taxes.

Let's take the lowest value of £400 a week, after putting the tax aside would it be like £320 or so??
Then expenses, let's say: £50 food, various bills (Council Tax, mobile phones work and personal, broadband, HEATING! >:(, software subscriptions etc) - shall we say £100 for bills?
Then work expenses - advertising, equipment and clothes (depending on your niche and if you've been working for a long time and stayed the same size throughout probably v little would need to go on clothes) - I don't know, maybe £30?
Hairdresser and beauty treatments that you need for work. (I was paying £100 a month for a hairdresser in London - cut and root colour, nothing fancy.) Let's say, £30 a week?
It totals to £210 so far. Which leaves you now with £110.
Then an Oyster card or other travel expenses.
This is when you have no dependents (kids, pets) or debts. Or need a weekly session with a therapist.
And then, let's imagine that after 10 months of moving out of the property, an energy company slaps you with a bill they pull from their behind. Because why not.  ::) >:(
Or whatever life decides to throw at you.

I don't think you need to have "horrendous" expenses to feel that with £400 a week you're on a tight budget.

Hooray. My first regular for quite a while. There's me all excited then he phoned again to turn up late. Then he wanted half an hour when he arrived. Then he overstayed because I didn't prod him enough on the time. He should have known better than to take the piss. The sex was good but he's going to have to knock that off.

Post by: amy on 25 February 2022, 09:57:59 pm
There's a difference between necessary living costs and extra expenses that some people might like having but don't actually need. I can't remember the last time I bought new clothes for work bar the odd pair of stockings and whilst expensive hairdressing is all very nice it's hardly crucial; ditto gym memberships, beauty/entertainment subscriptions and so on (all of which I have, and I have two flats to pay for too).

Plenty of people don't have £400-800 spare after housing costs in a whole month working full time hours (and my total monthly take home pay at my last civvy job was only a little more, although it was admittedly back when dinosaurs roamed the earth ;D). Either way since we don't know the poster's situation and we're not here to single people out and pick their lifestyles to bits, back on topic now, I think.

This week was good good for me. Like I’m extremely satisfied. My idea of a slow week is when I don’t get much or any new clients my regulars are quite…regular. However I never tour and I’m thinking of touring to other cities. I know the beginning of the year it’s best to just lay low in your cities and gather the £ you can cause you can’t really predict the traffic in the city you’re trying to go to. Any advice?

I think it depends where you work Alice - I have a couple booked in for tomorrow and will be hoping for a couple more, but I'm in the City and most punters are nearby and visiting on foot (after coming in on the normal trains to Liverpool Street and so on).

If you rely on the Underground I would maybe sit it out today if you have to travel for two hours on the bus - keep an eye on the news though and you can get a better idea about Thursday :).

I had a relatively good week last week, today OK too but I know what you mean when you say you feel trolled. One day a few weeks back I had 3 no shows in one day and therefore had no bookings. I had a no show today and it really upset me. I am low volume and part time albeit work most days so this really affects my income. I've had a lot of blocked numbers trying me the last few days. One number tried calling 26 times yesterday.

I think I’ve verified my number to see if it’s on I don’t know how many times. I wonder what’s happening… maybe it has something to do with my gas bill that just arrived and it got doubled  :F

I asked that the other day when I found out about the price rise for energy, it is going to be a huge struggle for some people.  Still that doesn't explain the rise in timewasters and reported people too.  I have had an unreal number of TWs.  In fact, I am taking a break from doing incall for a while just to cut down on the stress, the real clients are not bothering me, it is the sheer number of timewasters, especially the diabolical ones who truly want to cause you upset and harassment.

I agree after 6pm I get nothing or time wasters and later evening people drunk or those wanting somewhere to party. All my evening bookings are regulars or Pre-bookings.

I didn't start until 5 yesterday and had 3 bookings, Two regulars and one new. Today two regulars booked in but no idea how if I will get a legitimate booking from going available. Thank god for regulars, I have loads of new AW clients wanting to book so I'm hopeful but I know I'll get the timewasters this week. I normally put a profile on viva but I can't be bothered with the timewasters it attracts.

In the main quite a few are boundary pushers or out to waste your time. If I were you I'd put his delightful comment on the app so that others may make their own mind up about whether or not to see him themselves.

Him - (calls me at 1.40pm) are you available for an hour around 2-2.30?
Me - yes I can do 2.30 (as I need a freshen up, ciggie and a cuppa)
Him - can you do any earlier?
Me - (getting irked now why say 2-2.30 if 2.30 is too late) ok, how about 2.15?
Him - yes that's fine
Me - sends postcode and road name.
Him - 2 mins later 'actually I'll be there 2.45'
Me - majorly annoyed but need the money 'ok'
Him - (at 2.55) the postcode you sent takes me to a different street than you mentioned so I'm now 10 minutes away
Me - the message I sent was a cut and paste, you've put the last 2 letters in backwards
Him - no I haven't. I'm on xxx xxx road.
Me - I can promise you that you have.
Him - no you sent it wrong.
Me - bye too late now.

I had one actual booking today. Everyone else was just a timewaster.

It's seemed like a slow month for me too, only 1 or 2 bookings at best on work days but it's ended up being the best month this year so far and only a 30 min booking short of hitting my pre pandemic target.
Some guys will be struggling yes but there will always be those who still have spare cash for seeing us.

I seem to have plenty of enquiries as well, but they've all come at times where I've missed them  :'( :FF

Gutted my favourite reg I only just managed to see for a shorter time than planned cos I couldn't get out of bed on Monday. He text me first thing and I didn't see the message till hours later.

Then I had someone want a booking just as I was waiting for another reg.

Then I missed another reg cos he called when I was upstairs and didn't hear my phone. That was only 20 minutes before I realised but it was too late then. I couldn't get hold of him.

Had a message off someone else last night and got back to them within the hour but again that was too late.

Scheduled a booking on Wednesday for him only to pull a no show. And someone was meant to confirm an hour on Wednesday but didn't. Then Thursday someone was meant to see me but never heard anything back.

So yeah, been a right shit show of a week  :FF

March has been utter shit though for a variety of reasons. I'm glad to see the back of it!

I'd take these sort of comments with a pinch of salt. Plenty of guys will be hoping that comments like that will result in us offering them discounts or reducing our rates. I had a reg using a similar tactic but it falls on deaf ears.
Our bills are going up just like theirs are and they dont want bookings in freezing cold houses or getting in our  showers to find no hot water so they'll just have to suck it up.
The cheapskate bargain hunters may have to cut back on visits but there will still be plenty with disposable income.

Denise it depends on which areas you are working as not all clients are Muslims. And not all Asians are Muslims so with or without Ramadan there will always be punters. As for Easter break men will always find an excuse so don't let it discourage you  no need to be anxious baby girl. You mentioned you haven't worked  for a long time this might also help you get back to it slowly.

Had a turn up, Make a lame excuse and leave. loads of odd ones this week and TW but did do well with bookings. I don't normally answer calls but text them back and ask them for details,  This time I answered a few calls and all creeps just wanting to chat.

I rarely ever get 100% naked with them, keep stockings and Basque on because after weightloss I'm conscious. Very few regs I'll get naked with  most are happy for me to be comfortable, but I find the shower scenario slight disingenuous and don't want bare genitals rubbing against mine which is what I thought might happen. Takes me a while to do hair and make up. The fact he booked, asked for a shower, then asked if I would would join him and he got a 'no' as at this point I just thought 'text pest' - he had been reported as a text pest before but I thought I'd give him a chance. But he cancelled in the basis I wouldn't shower with him, just thought massive twat.

Same for me with the shower thing, that's reserved for lovers, I've done my hair and makeup before clients arrive.
This week has been the worst in ages, apart from one 30 min booking it's been nothing but timewasters, tyre kickers and a cple of no shows.
Plenty of texts (although I ask for calls only)  and emails enquiring about bookings but as soon as I tell them to call it goes silent.
Can't wait for Easter to be over and hopefully some sort of normality to resume.

Not working for a few days but still getting texts. One guy asking to watch me squirt. Sorry mate, can't squirt on command.

Did you miss that day at whore training academy? Bc from the way they ask, we can all do it on command surely. 😂

Ah yes and don't forget we all must have in our whoredrobes a white long coat and pink ankle boots. I replied to one man that I didn't have them and he suggested that I buy them as the booking was for a few days time. Yes of course I will spend the booking sum on the outfit (never to be worn again)  ::)

I made my own suggestion that he buy them himself for me but strangely he vanished after that.

Hey ho, I can't force them to book. Hopefully it'll change as people adjust to the new financial year and when the Easter break has ended.

I've no intention of increasing my rates but don't want to decrease them either. :/

I have no intention of increasing or reducing my rates either, I've only recently got them to where I am happy  with them.
 I'm kind of in the middle, not at the top end of pricing but not the lowest either.
As you say, I think clients will eventually adjust as they do to all things, we just have to hold our nerve and wait  if we can.

The only truly shit day I had all week was Wednesday, when I decided to put the green available thing on AW since it's a short week/long weekend. I got nothing for my trouble but wall to wall twats, stupid texts and then one who made it as far as my street and then refused to call, demanding I text him my address - I told him he may as well turn round and go back to work. I will never learn, it seems ;D.

As a plus, it would likely have taken me two or three months to block all the useless, illiterate bellends who texted me had I not used it, so that's some time saved further along the line :D

I think Ramadan and Easter is affecting the areas with Muslim clients. Heathrow I would say 60 percent of my clients are Muslim. Also the sheer amount of traffic on the roads today. I’m going back after the bank holiday.

I was supposed to go out on tour on Monday, had the car parked up and everything and then literally just changed my mind.

I knew I couldn't cope with it being Easter week and decided to take a holiday. The first week of the Easter hols was busy for me. I go back out on Monday but Bank Holiday Monday's don't bother me and they make good arrival days.

I'll definitely be striking this week off next year's calendar too.

If anything for me it's better no calls at all instead of any time wasters I'd have to be bothered by .
I'd get rush hour between 11 -4 if lucky  then while with client the phone would be ringing but on silent .
I don't call back but neither do they so I guess their doing the rounds  contacting other escorts

It is a luxury service after all and if things are tough for some men then obviously this should be there last thing to spend on as it really is not a priority.

That said there is still men out there that do have the funds and some will still find the money as paying for sex is there entire life and only hobbie some have.

I've been off sick and start back next week, Definitely staying local and not going to tour. So far my regulars are advance booking but this month's been slow with phone not as busy with new punters. I've got 2 weeks ahead to work and part of me is really not up for it so I hope I'm not sitting around or getting the TW because I'll just get down and unmotivated. Let's hope next month is going to pick up for us.

Central London - very slow, and I’m getting almost exclusively regulars. 90 mins today, 2 hrs yesterday, 2 x 1 hr the day before. I’m getting work every day, but not amounting to saving much or feeling relaxed about my income. The papers are talking about a recession later this year, but I think it’s arrived already.

I don't work weekends or Mondays but Tuesday was steady, Wednesday busy, Thursday very busy and Friday nothing but tyrekickers - at one point yesterday around midday I think I'd booked and rebooked the same slot four or five times just to be pissed about, so I sacked it and went to yoga. It still makes me furious that I spent virtually the whole day in my flat for nothing when it was lovely outside  >:(

This is in the City, and exactly what I suppose is to be expected when the two day a week people are coming in Wednesday and Thursday and the three day people Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday. The difference I'm seeing these last few weeks is that the tourists and the business travellers are reappearing, which means I'm spending more time explaining directions and travel - I've got so used to most punters being no more than a fifteen minute walk away (and familiar with the area) I've got rusty :).

On Friday my whole morning was completely fully booked, loads of half hours, nothing all afternoon and then one at 5.30. I was thinking that things were finally going back to normal. Everyone pretty much cancelled that morning just did two bookings. Waited around all afternoon for my 5.30 then the bastard cancelled.

I want to have the patience to wait all day for a booking because I don't want to lose out on money while its quiet but this is seriously testing me right now  :FF

Do you tour or mostly work from your home town? I think it's harder if you work the same area a lot. Another factor there is more independents then ever and a lot tour different locations so a lot of areas always have a selection of new women to choose. It's very different set up to what it was years ago. The new women in town was mostly a guarantee to be very busy but now it can be hit or miss.

I only ever work from my home town. I have another business and sometimes get last minute clients from that too so can't really tour, plus part time as I have children half the week. When there is a lot of women my age touring in my area bookings are on the quiet side. My minimum target isn't high and I do get a lot of regs. I make enough to get by, rarely happens I don't meet my minimum but I do take bookings 6/7 days a week.

I've ticked along doing 3 days and done 12 1 hrs bookings so happy with that but I now see that times will not be as plentiful as it's been with getting more new clients. Tiday liads of TW with clienteye reports. A client today told me that builders, Gardeners are now worried with the drop in work so it's a trickle down affect. I know I will not be gping up with prices and only do 2 weeks a month in a hope to get regulars booking me up, I can't afford to pay for a flat to just scrape by, I'm sticking to my area.

"Touring is becoming very hard work. " ...Very hard? Touring will be impossible.
 I be plan my July and August tours. I'm looking for possible accommodations. But the prices are in the skies. Accommodation, fuel, ads .. If I add up all the costs 1 week tour approx. 1000 pounds. AND the return on the revenue is profit is not guaranteed!

My last tour I lost money. What I paid out to what I made I ended up loosing and then came home early as it was dead.
Problem is I’m a touring escort but I think in very soon I will just have to base myself in the same area as touring simply isn’t worth it just now.

I want to have a change from London each time,and try different cities  planning  later after September. Still looking as I have a budget to stick too. I'd end up staying in the home flat if I can't afford it .
I was going to start June originally ..got so much now to pay out for with home repairs  :FF

I am hoping the reduced income for tours will blow over once people adjust to the price hikes. That said clients may visit us a bit less if e.g. holidays abroad are much higher. As many will still be determined to go.

A lot of men over 50 for example tend to just book half an hour anyway as they cannot get it up for long though it does depend on the person.

I am finding I have to accept more quickies from thirty plus year olds than I used to do as the older age group ie  65 plus has dried up a fair bit. We have to go where the money is.

I have noticed there are loads of new exotic females in Sheffield, also younger. Offering services I do not do. Also I have noticed a few of the would be clients on my WhatsApp feed have changed their profile pictures with their female partners instead of the guy pic profiles or pub brawl pics. Must be Mating season here lol. surprised been that it is summertime.

So far I had 2 (two!) bookings this month. ::)
I want to believe that things would have been different if I had a permanent incall place but who knows, maybe not.
To book a hotel I need to have at least £300 in advance bookings (£100 for the current hotel, £100 for the next one, and £100 to make a minimum profit).
I had no problems with that in March. It's been downhill since Easter.

If i worked like i would never tour. 4 years ago though i did used to get advance bookings and even without showing a number on my ads for a few months. Now days it's very rare apart from a few regular guys that might book me.

What an awful day. I did have 1 booking but he was a bit of a weird one and just gave HR.

So I had 8 phone wankers calling or trying to call yesterday, 5 already blocked numbers calling me, 5 guys texting instead of calling, 1 guy demanding a face pic and my postcode be sent asap to his what app (off you fuck wanker), 1 guy asking for video call ( I don't do them), then had a confirmed booking for 6pm. Ask him not to be late as I needed to go out. At 6.10 he's not let me know he'll be late so I just shrug it off as a no show and get in the car. At 6.20 he's calling me to say he's arrived, with no apology for being late, so I refuse to see him, and now he's swearing, shouting because 'it's not his fucking fault it took him so long to get to me'... he had 45 mins notice, he suggested 6pm and I do have a nearby postcode on my profile. No way I was seeing someone so screamy after I asked him not to be late. That was the icing on the cake and I called it a day.

Sounds like a nightmare!
Mine was crap too, nothing but 1 like yours, texts instead of calls and total silence when asked to call.
I figured as others said, with all the sport on tv was a washout so come 6pm I gave it up as a bad job, put my feet up with a glass of wine and then ... the phone finally starts to ring  aaarrrggggghhhhh!!!
The buggers were only bothered when the sport was finished... well sod em!
Maybe the reason your guy was late too, hanging on to see the end of what ever he was watching.
This past week has been crap, started off ok but I've not seen a soul since Weds.

Exactly. Funny thing was he called a few months back suggesting s booking with only 15 minutes notice,  I said I wasn't going to be ready for xx amount of time (I'd only just got out of the shower) and he said he wasn't going to hang around. Yet he thinks it's acceptable to keep me hanging around. Sometimes I'll see them late if they inform me and I'm not busy but otherwise nope. Just plain rude.

This was set to be my best week yet with the bookings I had arranged, but only managed to make one of them then have had to cancel the others because I have covid, so it's now my worst week. I'm absolutely gutted - I know this is what can happen when you're self-employed doing in-person work and obviously there are peaks and troughs in this work anyway, but it's so disappointing. Suppose I have to figure out online stuff now.  :(

I have worked from home for nearly 7 years and I think the cost of living crisis has more to do with it than anything  :-\

I've never struggled but recently there's been a shortage of everyone. My regs have had their overtime cutback and a lot are still 'working from home'  ::)

Dead in Essex but I'm not surprised because so many girls have come this way to work, I'll have to find another area to do a mini tour before the school holidays. Definitely a drop in new clients even at a lower rate. With petrol going up I wonder if clients will not travel as far to visit their HL and stay closer to home. And today I've got the idiot TW having a chance.

If i worked like i would never tour. 4 years ago though i did used to get advance bookings and even without showing a number on my ads for a few months. Now days it's very rare apart from a few regular guys that might book me.

Your post made me think, EG... I decided to do something I wasn't doing before. To display my number on AW.
(Yes, it's a work number but I really didn't want to show it to everyone. Like, I don't know these people, I don't really like them, I'm not giving them my phone number. :P
Also, I was relying on advance bookings and thought that if a client wants to book, he will make an effort and message on AW or email.
Wrong. So many wrong assumptions.)
Anyhoo, after I showed the number, the phone started ringing. It was wild. It felt like I finally found where the party has been happening all this time.
Things were all right.

But... fast forward. On this particular, recent day, I had no advance bookings. Previously, I would have tried to cancel the hotel but now I thought that I shouldn't be a wuss and the bookings will come on the day.
They didn't. I changed the photo and set up all the AW bells and whistles. The profile got more hits on that day than ever, I think. People were looking. But they were not booking >:(
My phone was not broken as I received messages from a guy whose I would guess main life achievement was amassing an impressive amount of warning reports.
I ended up ordering a 2-days worth of calories from the room service.
I went back home with a deficit of money and a surplus in calories. Rethinking my life now.

The moral of this long story is that it's slow at the minute.

My own phone number is only displayed on AW for 2 days out of every 7 which saves my sanity but I am very low volume by choice so that suits me. My regs are my mainstay with a few newbies occasionally.

Of all the men who browse or search AW I imagine only a small percentage are signed up members so if no phone number displayed by the sps they're interested in they can not contact you so will move along to those they can phone or text.

If you are relying solely on AW and looking for regular/higher volume clients then displaying your number may be the way to proceed and persevere with to get feet through the door.

My days: Slow, Very slow ...
Lots of calls, SMS, but no one is coming. Yesterday 1 half an hour, today 1 half hour and a 15 minute.
I see in a short time decent escort work dies in the UK.

1. A lot of girls now come from Eastern Europe (especially Romania) and Brazil with little or zerio English, language skills.
2. They make their prices terribly low, and that makes guests  to bargain about us as well. :FF
3. They advertise with fake images, so guests are already skeptical of our ads.
4. Viva street and Adult work have become unreliable for guests due to false profiles.
5. Guests who have no report on the client eye lost.
6. Due to the high price of energy, fuel and food, there are a lot of time waster calls and sms, but real bookings are getting less and less.
7. It's not worth hiking anymore. Apartment and hotel prices have skyrocketed. :'( :'(

The above depends on whether you view migrant sex workers charging rock bottom rates as your competition; they aren't mine any more than the Soho walkups or party organisers are. Prostitution has existed as long as humans have, and I doubt that's going to change any time soon.

There have always been and will always be people charging more and people charging less; just as there have always been some punters are price sensitive and some who are not. If price mattered that much, most people here would have no bookings (including me, probably). It doesn't.

Amy.  Reading your comments , I see you are as a very smart and intelligent person.  I don't consider them a competitor either.  But their "existence " and "work morale" make our work very difficult.  It became completely different than it was a year , or a half ago.  I need to do more marketing to be able to offset the changed circumstances.  Now just the aw profile is not enough.  Complex marketing is a must if I don’t want "zero revenue " days on my tours.
Which when  I would be at a losses.  I still see that tour work is already on the border when the ratio of expenses and income makes me  think maybe , I about stopping it  close future.

I don't think only eastern Europeans or Brazilian girls have "low morals" or our "existence " is taking bookings from you.
Maybe you should advertise more or the area you're in it's not good / it may be very slow. And like Amy said, prices has nothing to do with clientele base. Some pay more and some pay less...

And please don't put all the girls( EE, brazilians etc.) in the same pot, because it's not the case.

Thanks, Kiss, and yes, there's not much predictability in this game.
I find that working from hotels is like playing roulette against Sod's Law. Inquiries come at random, usually not when you need them.
If I could work from home - at any time and without the hotel's overheads, things would be fairly comfy.

Things are very different to what they were 3 months ago. New locations was always quite good and now not finding anywhere busy. I think a lot of clients are punting far less now days and i don't think it's just because there paying less elsewhere they are just going longer without booking.

I'm finding Mondays and Tuesdays are reasonably busy recently, which is a total turn around and then the week just goes downhill from there.
Plenty of timewasters and tyre kickers around, annoyingly my phone still accepts voicemails from guys I've blocked and I'm getting more of those lately.
Maybe the crazy heat this week has put a few off too.
Thankfully I have a fair few regulars who are keeping me ticking over.
I really can't see business going back to pre pandemic levels for 2 or 3 years, if then.

It's not worth paying for accommodation when it's this bad especially when prices are too high. I think there is less new men booking fullstop for touring women unless there regular clients. I don't think it's price related either as i know a few cheaper priced women that are doing bad too lately.

I’m finding it dead on AW. Even with time wasters. I’ve had some luck with VS, but most haven’t read my profile and then a small amount do book once I let them know when I am available. My regulars are keeping me going but it is a bit worrying About the lack of new people.

I’m getter a better quality of booking through my website . They read the site, follow booking instructions and even pay deposits required. Really recommend that as an avenue as I’ve spoken to a few men who’ve booked through my site and they weren’t aware of VS nor AW. I’m trying to learn more about SEO to help.

I have stopped touring at the moment as it's not worth my while too much pay out for not enough return.

Phone has been really quiet…hmmm

I’ve come to an understanding that enquiries lag at the beginning of the month but then I’m a 1 hour minimum and only get 3-4 clients per day. Sometimes 5 on a very good day. Well. I’ve had one yesterday and one today and they both prebooked me last month.

Delaying tactics such as saying, "I don't want to cum yet" (yes you do mate, you've got 2 minutes left on the clock), asking to shower after his time has finished and then pausing to chat whilst getting dressed - why can't men multitask by chatting and dressing FFS?! 
I've had a couple of clients shed a tear when cumming, but never at the end  ::)

I'm in Essex and always done well without touring but never known it to be so dead, TW are back everyday and new clients are rare and over 3 days working I had 2 a day and that's very very slow especially as my rates are at the lower level but cost of apartments high. I'm tempted to try elsewhere but I don't want to waste money on tracel and apartment and also have to put up with new time wasters. What's going on must be lack of money , I am spending less myself so punters must be doing the same.

I've had a terrible week. An absolute shit show  :FF

Abusive callers, timewasters, no shows and even my well trusted regular cancelling  :'(

I have had a half hour booking with a lovely guy whom I haven't seen for years, but the amount of shit in between has been ghastly.

I've not even had my phone number displayed or advertise on Viva anymore  ???

I have my my own website and stuff, but that's it.

Phone is dead today apart from one guy wanting an outcall that I'm not offering atm and another guy asking for £30 hand job.

Luckily I have a long booking later.

Had a long booking on Monday and an hour with a regular on Tuesday. Since then I've mostly had people with Client Eye reports and timewasters who clearly haven't read my profile. Was supposed to have a booking today that was requested via text yesterday, but no confirmation or communication from the client today so wasn't prepared to go out and spend money on transport. Doesn't seem like I'll be working today and nothing planned for the rest of the week but even less likely as there are less times I could work.

I had a similar experience last week so just haven't bothered with it this week. I do have my phone number displayed but only because I want my tour later in the month to be shown - glad I'm not paying for it for the reason of helping me get bookings though as the quality of enquiries seems to be decreased, so the increased quantity doesn't really amount to anything.

It's been gradually changing last 3 yeaes but now it's definately changed. I used to pull in bookings in advance and frim email even before starting the day and that does not happen now days. Plus like you said so many of the calls are just weirdos and fantasists calling or robbers . A lot of the decent men who you want as a booking are booking less.

Even AW emails are rare these days or from just signed up members with zero feedback or last feedback 2019, Definitely a worry and if not for regulars I wouldn't have more than a few bookings a week when available. Really dropped off last few months, Not really sure what can be done to draw in new clients because it's probably nothing to do with price.

I wouldn't bother, my finish time is 10pm most days, Midnight tonight but chances are I will get calls and texts at 2, 3, 4 and 6am from drunk and high people, unless you work until 6am you probably will end up with people you will miss.

Almost all calls today had multiple reports or had clearly not read profile. Had 2 regs. Had one call the morning who sounded so vague and he couldn't decide how long he needed so I said no. Would have been a timewaster by my experience. He then said I had an attitude. Possibly mate but I can spot timewasters a mile off so call it intuition.

Did you had on your profile that you're not working?
I tend to think that's another form of Tw.. always contacting when not working. I've noticed this pattern with some people that I used to see before, always contacting when I am not working and it's clear on my profile.

3 good bookings on Saturday, 2 new guys and a returnee.
Couldn't really be bothered on Sunday so mostly enjoyed the weather in the garden.
Two 30 min bookings today, which tbh, in this weather is plenty.
I am not showing my number today or tomorrow so only regs or returnees likely to contact me and I can then choose if I think I can cope with them in this heat.
I imagine the heat will bring out the fantacists and timewasters even more than usual so at least by not having my number displayed I won't have the added stress of having to deal with them.

The number of calls has gone up recently from what had become near zero around the end of the pandemic.

I haven't been making much of an effort since the pandemic. This past week I've had regulars call. Two turned up. One who messaged never bothered to call. The one before this was new and had been keen to see me for months. He turned out to be a good one but I doubt he's wanting to be a regular. More a one off. Since the pandemic returning regulars and the type of older client I aim for have been thin on the ground.

Most of the rest of new callers I haven't bothered to answer. The rest have been creeps and timewasters already flagged on CE. Some of the very persistent ones I blocked years ago are still trying. The last call I answered before writing this up was a classic ringaround timewaster who hadn't bothered reading my profile. He sounded a bit off when he called so I was already marking him down as a block. I've also been getting more late night or early morning callers. I have completely stopped messaging this type back and automatically block them as after my preferred type of clients was were also staying at a hotel dropped off a cliff post-pandemic expecting most to be timewasters or unsavoury for one reason or another.

Last summer was quiet for me but I had my kids most of it so was only able to do weekends. Last 2 weeks have been dead quiet but this week seems to have gone a bit busy atm.

Very busy day for me had 5 but if I was shattered and could of done 7 but too tired. I have a busy week of bookings, I did a special offer on AW pre-bookings that's worked well for me. I hate sitting around waiting for work so I price myself competitively and get 3 more bookings a day than if I was charging £180-200 and I only offer OW so I'm feeling positive this week. I do sometimes stress over being less than others but then I realise being £££ in profit is better than questioning my worth because I'm cheaper lol luckily still getting nice clients and regulars book me more frequently.
I just wish I had more energy this week after being ill last week. My clients are aged from 34 upwards or the virgins and first timers, I don't attract the young studs lol.

I find the summer brings new and one timers who are getting randy seeing women wearing less so summer hols are not too quiet but I prefer to work less when it's hot, Got two fans on the go.

Over the last years - very busy.

This year - advance bookings noticeably dropped, mostly catching guys on the day.

so it is definitely changing…

I think the 'payday week' effect depends a lot on things like location and punter demographic - it makes no difference to me since the punters near me don't tend to live in this month-to-month/hand to mouth way, and anyone who sees a lot of the retired blokes similarly isn't going to notice a difference.

Back in my old location it wasn't uncommon for people to be paid weekly, so not much of an effect there either :)

Funny you should say that in all my time of working i never noticed any difference in pay day or not and never noticed the 3rd week was quieter. It is only really recent i seen a difference with the 3rd week in a month being bad but like you say it depends what locations you work in and london wpuld have plenty of men that do not live week by week.

Yea payday used to effect me when I was younger and worked in the cheap parlours and it was a lot of working class and younger guys, but since going indie, I don't notice it anymore. This week has been OK; would have liked it to been busier but then again I have a bit of a UTI so its prob been a good thing.

Best week for ages and I had to push myself to keep going, Tried Brentwood as a new location and really happy I did, used a local hotelehich turned out great with a swimming pool. Maybe it's just a busy week anyway but felt like before covid for me so that's a positive. But also I've reduced my rate slightly and it's definitely a factor in getting more work for me anyway, I'm very much girl next door. So I'm thinking post covid it's getting better.

Hi,

Do you ladies think there might be a slowdown towards autumn/winter with all that’s going on?

Definitely slowing down here in terms of advance bookings, which I attribute to energy bills, fuel prices and general inflation and uncertainty. And it’s not even a time when they have to heat their houses up for cold seasons…

Thé « payday week » means one thing for me: a sudden increase of calls from TW, silly texts etc. For the rest I agree, a lot of my clients are retired or semi-retired so it’s no difference to them.

I don't usually monitor this thread because my bookings don't seem to follow the trend. But I must say bookings have been very strong in the past few weeks and getting stronger. The usual drop when school holidays come hasn't happened yet.

Plenty of jittery newbies calling to chat. Piss me off as they have no intention to book, maybe wanking now cos they chatted to a prossie .. sad fuckers... I end the convo as quick as possible  so as not to encourage them.

I don't post here often but just wanted to give some reassurance here. I'm down in Dundee and it's been exceptionally quiet here at the moment compared to usual. I don't know what it's like on the west coast just now but east cost Scotland is dead at the moment. It's not just you.

Though things are and have been bad for me with work for months and all year  I just had it with the worst tight pisstaking pricks who have been returning , they do not want to pay my going rates since they are  so used to  taking me for a soft touch ,  one always  saying his not much time so pays for  quickies which is lower price compared to when he used to be half hour and the odd hour ages ago , but he still gets joblot cheaper and was constantly whattsapp me nearly everyday like we chums , sacked him and another who deliberately kept going into the hour only paying half hour fucking sick of them , there's a few others as well  , they think because I have  known them years  they can take liberty , I rather hope to get better types like I have had than the ones who disrespectful and cheap.

Had it and have it but I just get rid of and block or tell them I'm busy and can't fit them in. Got one now trying to WhatsApp me loads but not put in a booking request, I keep it short or just don't respond it's annoying. I think with the situation with money being very tight or threat of it being for most they will resent paying but they will still want a fix but try and get it cheaper. I'm not looking forward to having to deal with such because I think it will get less busy with people worrying about money and Bill's with this energy crisis. I've got friends who run normally busy buissness and have seen customer hold off spending. It's a worry for me in the back of my mind.

I think the industry is saturated with too many sex workers and just not enough decent quality clients. It's very rare for sex workers to be busy every time they work and the ones you find that do better daily a lot of them there prices start off cheap and offer a really lot for it and sometimes have built up many reviews online.

I do prefer to see less men for more money per client. The per hour rate is good money but with high costs on hotels and bills going up not enough stable business it's all over the place. I think the really good days where it lasted for much longer have gone and now days clients are expecting way way too many services for there pound which is a struggle especially with many clients (appalling) hygiene.
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: MissElvira on 02 September 2022, 10:46:53 am
I agree Green that it doesn't feel as stable as it did 2019, Last month I was very busy 5 to 7 a day and turned work away but I have a feeling that it may slow down. I am reasonably priced but I only offer OW and prefered lowering my rate and not offering owo due to hygiene or worry of having to deal with it. I'd say that my personality is a big factor in why I get regulars as I'm average looks and girl nest door, My profile attracts the kind I like to see but I'm more mentally drained end of a working day than physically. My mindset now is to work hard and put money away, I've cut back on eating out and cut back massively on drinking alcohol but still have to pay for work accommodation and travel plus my own home and my family. But I don't think putting my prices up to absorb this will help as punters are also going to be trying to also take into consideration if spending on there luxuries is needed.

All we can do over this Autumn is just see what happens. I'm never concerned with how many more girls are about as I don't get many lustful last minute bookings but planned bookings and regulars who have spare money to see me once a month. During covid I got totally different types that normally i would not see or have contact me and they have now gone elsewhere lol Which is fine as I didn't enjoy the randoms and I get nervous seeing too many last minute guys.

I just hope we can all survive and get through it, think the sex industry will bounce back and will always provide a income  which is better than a 9-5, In my case anyway so I think I'm lucky I can do this and keep my family comfortable. But definitely putting in more hours and effort these days as I don't think I have tje luxury in the coming months to be lazy or just do the bare minimum and as you said Green work can be all over the place or the one day a week when it's tumbleweed and I just want min 2 bookings to cover cost of rental and fare and some profit.

We had a poster a few years ago who had also got tired of all the complaints about how London is 'saturated' with sex workers and did a few sums. These proved (admittedly not that technically since I think most of the info used came off AW and didn't take things like agencies into account) that London is no more 'saturated' with prossies per head of population than quite a few other cities, and in the case of a couple of larger towns it was quite a bit less.

As for weekends, I've worked in London both for visiting and as a base for almost fifteen years in various areas and one of the very few consistencies throughout has been that weekends are crap. Everybody is different :)

Yesterday I had a booking early morning then nothing all day until a late evening booking and it was worse doing that than having a really busy day!!!! Just going to hop on cam and chill at home today.

I guess I don't mind the slow period actually, I've been meaning to take it a bit easier. I am really grateful that I am usually booked up but the burn out is real. I am going to make the most of it this week and also add some new photos as well as mine are a little outdated (changed my hair since ect) and clients are constantly telling me I need to update (I think I've heard it enough times to take it on board  ::)) and hopefully It will pick up again next week either way.

I arrived for a 2 day tour in Chester on Thursday evening about an hour after the announcement of her passing, I didn't bother working the Thursday evening as it was 8pm by the time I was sorted.

However I put my AT on and displayed my number at 7.30am Friday and it was the busiest day I've ever had, I was turning them away, Saturday was the same until about 5.30pm when the phone quietened down, by then I was knackered anyway and had made twice my target,so I switched off and took the evening off.

So as Kay said I think some 9f London is going to be a bit of a nightmare for the next few days but I'm not sure its affecting the rest 9f the country as much, its really going to depend on where you are.

So as Kay said I think some 9f London is going to be a bit of a nightmare for the next few days but I'm not sure its affecting the rest 9f the country as much, its really going to depend on where you are.

Do you take calls at 7.30am?

Hi Ladyes...
Queen Elizabeth has died, may God rest her in peace.  :'( :'( :'(
I would like to ask if your guests have disappeared since the she is died?
Since then, I have barely had any calls or messages, and no guests arrive..

I only work part time mostly, i have found it quite good and not affected me when i did work in between days.

Yes once the number is displayed I'm happy to answer the phone and it often rings before 8am with guys wanting to arrange their day.

I'm always awake and up by 6 to 6.30am as that's the time I get up for my regular work routine Monday to Friday so early makes no difference to me

I take calls from 6am I get up early to get other things out of the way. Some want phone chat, sexting there and then, or webcam or to book for later that day, week, whenever. I do sometimes start webcam at 6.30am. I also require confirmation of advance bookings before 8.30am so I turn phone on early to give a wide window.

I have been busy with enquiries most days, one regular cancelled because he was upset by the death, another his family decided they'll visit over the surprise bank holiday but most are just carrying on as usual.

I have a theory the day off for many could work either way.

Still pretty slow for me this week. I've found mornings are ok I usually get a couple of hour bookings and a half hour but then after 12pm its crickets then maybe 4-5pm Ill get another booking.

I checked last August/September and It was the same for me then as well. I may need to actually check my posts on here from last year as a cross reference lol. I think September is becoming the new January for me as I was busier this Jan than I have been this month. I think I know when I'm taking my holiday next year! It may pick up next week but I will see, I have a pre-bookings towards the end of the month so I am hoping that October is a little more consistent for me.

Incredibly slow for me and has been for some time.  For personal reasons I have only been able to offer limited services for more than a year and that definitely doesn’t help. Literally I’m lucky I get a few a week.

Also for the first time ever I went on Viva for a week and got zero clients. I only go on when it’s slower than normal and usually I manage to get something, but nope just the timewasters.

I know it's not ideal and just means paying more money out on hotels Ana, but have you tried going to a few different parts of town? I was always busy in Angel, Waterloo, Victoria/Pimlico and there used to be quite a few of the OK hotels on the day rooms sites. It's fine over here in the City too, but again I know the hotel costs are horrific.

A bit off topic but I checked one of the nice hotels I used to work from and usually paid between £130 and £180-£200 for the night before the Queen's funeral, and the cheapest rooms (which weren't great and I didn't book them) were £999  :o

Amy, I thought you made a typing mistake when you said that the cheapest room before the Queen's funeral were £999 (£99 instead of £999)  ;D ;D Hope they put it back to a more normal price now  :o hotel prices are absolutely insane especially compared to last year at the same time.

And yes I've tried different part of town with dayuse rooms (City a few time, Tower Hill, Euston) and it hasn't been successful at all so far (one or two 30mins booking at most), I mean really not worth the hotel price + travel time. I will keep trying though and let's see what will happen

Made my target OK, but God they've been hard work this week (including one latecomer who actually screamed abuse at me down the phone for telling him I couldn't hear him very well because of the bad signal and asking him how long he was going to be). I'm sure there is no link at all between that and my deciding to put the green AT Adultwork thing on for a couple of days just to get ahead on the end of month bill money ::)

Every time I do it I reason with myself that I must have blocked all the real thundercunts by now. I will never learn  :( ;D

Yes I hardly ever use it used it the other day and got 25 TWs and no bookings! I remember back in the day -say 8/10 years ago I would get bookings as well, not so much now.

Slow slow slow on my little tour, just overrun with TWs and cancellations no clients, and I used to live in the area and do ok. Don’t think I will be going back.

However, the week before was insanely busy for me, so I don't mind  :)

It's oddly quiet where I am right now in Devon, and this town is usually one of my most lucrative monthly tour destinations.
However I suspect there are a pair of escorts working in the same hotel as me right now which would make an impact as this isn't a large town and few escorts trek out here to work.

I went to Warwickshire last week, an area I used to live and do ok in, 3 nights and no bookings, one day I used AT and got a zillion TWs. It would only have taken 4/5 bookings to cover my costs which is the number of cancellations I had…

This is why I'm so glad I can work from home. Tighter screening, sure, but it works for me. I couldn't cope with multiple bookings day in day out. Yesterday I did 4 bookings. That's the most I've ever done in 7 years. Only had one day 3 years ago where I did 4 until yesterday.

I'd be so depressed to make a loss in this job  :'( I know many can't work from home, so I appreciate touring is the only way, but if anyone is reading this and they're in two minds, I'd say work from home at first to see how it feels  :) Especially if you're new to the job and are wanting to build up regulars or have worked for 6 months and all the guys who just come for the sake of you being new have stopped coming.

Went to bed last night with five booked in, by the confirmation cut off time this morning at 10am I'd done an early half hour and had one other confirm, one cancellation Because Trains and two just not bother at all. One of these texted just before 11am just to let me know he was sorry but he didn't know there was a train strike (he was supposed to be here at 11.30am).

You'd have thought there would have been something on the news last night, but evidently not ::). Fortunately yesterday was busy so I'm not that bothered, but the ones who treat the whole thing like some casual Tinder type arrangement rather than somebody's livelihood really get on my fucking tits.

The other one I haven’t had a stitch with since 26th September… I think it’s to do with cost of living crisis, I just pray it picks up in November and December  :-[

Absolutely dead one booking in over 2 weeks. There are even less TWs than normal except for one time I put AT up and had zillions of them.

I’m tinkering with my rates with a lower basic rate and some extras they can pay for, see if that makes a difference.

I'm still busy which is good because you never know when it will slow down, I've made my targets and turned plenty of work away, Have had timewasters as usual but seems OK for now but still hangs over my head that at something I think it will slow or maybe just thinking that because of the doom and gloom news. But not bothering to try and tour because I'm doing good where I am. And dropping my rates a bit is definitely helping to make sure I get my max bookings and interest for future bookings but not offering anything more or owo but I have always updated my gallery weekly to keep interest peaked and it really works to do that.

Yes the last cple of weeks have been pretty slow, more timeswasters. One clown who cancelled last min and a no show this week when in the past I could go months without either of those things happening.
A few regs still having an hour booking but I've noticed the visits are not as regular as in better financial times.
An increase in 30 and 15 min bookings too but to be honest I'm ok with that as like Amy, I'm not a fan of longer bookings and a few shorter bookings is better than no bookings at all.
I think we may be in for a slow, tough winter  :(

I'm definitely not the authority on school holidays, but I think it's half term this next week?

It doesn't affect me that much just because there are so many people in Central London even if three quarters of them bog off on holidays there are still loads left, but it might slow things down a bit for others through no fault of their own and I wouldn't be forking out for expensive hotels and travel unless I was pretty sure of it paying off.

Half the schools were off last week and the other half it will be this week. It was really busy first week in October and then it's just been dead since then. I'm in NW. I had a busy September despite being away for a few days. October is usually pretty quiet anyway for me at least. Fingers crossed it will pick up soon.

I stopped going to Oxford a couple of years ago as the business dropped off (which I have heard from others too). I don't like Cambridge either. Hotels too expensive and not a good enough return on your outlay.

I like half hours as they're in and out but tbh I don't care how long clients book for as long as they book.

I went to South Manchester for a couple of days and it was disappointing. I'd been busy before that so it was just to test the waters. I won't be going again.

Only had a 15min booking on Sunday , yesterday nothing, today the same… only had a sad tw texting me around lunch time. I even started looking at amazon jobs, I feel too stressed out waiting every day , wth is going on?

Yep it has been consistently slow for me for some time. Thought it was purely down to the fact I can’t offer full service and possibly my area but maybe not. A few a week at best, despite really putting myself out there and trying a few changes with profile wording and how I offer things.

From what I’ve worked out anyone who stays in one place unless they have loads of regulars aren’t doing too well. Touring is alright usually but not as good as it used to be

This isn't the case for me as such, I do have plenty of regulars but also have an influx of new clients too. Did a few days tour not too long ago, that was as far as I'm concerned successful enough bookings to make it worth my while as well as have time to myself (at home I tend to do too much (not necessarily in person but between all my commitments, other work, webcam work etc)). Also garnered interest for the future.

I am finding punters seem to be reliant on looking at AW at the last minute, rather than being able to plan ahead. Also quite a few using whatever directory or AW, unable to look further for more information e.g. unable to find my website, say they are very keen, longish or planning a booking carefully, want the right person, have been scammed or mislead but haven't thought about checking out other web presences or can't find basic information. This includes people who say they are working in IT (there is evidence)and or are familiar with the internet.

I, too, work from the same place all the time and have exactly the same experience as Mirror.

I work from the same place all the time too and with plenty of regulars and a good measure of new clients it has never been an issue until Covid and the cost of living crisis hit  so I put the diminishing number of clients down to those two things, not the fact that I don't move around.

I have a friend in Germany and another in Switzerland and they say that the work is slow, that they had never seen it like this, in Ireland another colleague says the same, in Spain too and from what I read here in the UK too. There will be exceptions because everyone is different but it seems that we are having a bad time in general and we have to maintain a positive attitude in the face of this situation we are experiencing.

My area has been flooded with loads of new girls. I counted 21 new people. I went from 4-6 booking per day , to 1-2 people if I am lucky. Some days I get 0 booking. My income has been more than halved. I also have to work longer hours. I start at 9am and stay available until 3am the next day. I give myself 6 hours to sleep. I have to do this to meet my target. Things are really grim, right now. I went from my phone ringing constantly, to almost nothing,  because my incall flat area, has become oversaturated in the last 2 months. It actually worrying. May have to tour again.

Don't wish to sound controversial but I've noticed a lot of new European street girls in Leeds. What with people having less money, I can't help but think that punters are choosing them over more expensive escorts.

Depends what you call "more expensive escorts"?   I don't consider myself in the more expensive category but  not cheap either. I really can't imagine my clients going for what you call street girls.

I cannot see my clients choosing street girls as you describe but i don't tend to work in areas that have street red light area's. There has always been cheaper charging women since the beginning of time and always will be.

I know what Jessica_Hannah means, iv noticed a lot more girls advertising in the West Yorkshire area and I definitely think clients are going for a cheaper option than even mid range prices so I don’t know how higher priced girls are getting on. I guess it makes sense though with the crisis of living, anyone on a budget is only going to pay for what they can afford

I'm sure there is no link at all between that and my deciding to put the green AT Adultwork thing on for a couple of days just to get ahead on the end of month bill money ::)

Very slow in Central London. It started last month and still continues. This week has been terrible. The phone is very quiet. I don't remember when the last time was this quiet. Even during lockdown was busier. I don't know if it's just London or other cities as well. It makes me consider relocating somewhere else. The business is dead in London

I noticed the same with PG sales as well
I’m hitting my target overall but it’s mainly regs ( luckily I have a lot of them ) and the odd new client
If I saw 5 punters 4 would be regs and 1 would be new and I the new ones tend to come in for the 15 blow and go or 30 mins

Everything affects this work at some stage that is why we have this slow thread. I think before Xmas it used to be busy but i noticed last couple of years there is not that rush like it used to be. After all though a lot of our prices are not affordable to every man that is why the 15 min cheaper option has become popular with a lot of men and the women that choose to offer them.

OH MY GOD that is beyond disgusting. Be a good idea to do a warning on him to warn other's to avoid him.  He was trying to have you over and basically sexually assaulted/groped you. Got to say not surprised though as so many predators out there. You must be so angry.

Trying to get by on doing massages only but the lure of full service is too much, especially as I’m skint at the moment. And I’m currently 13 weeks pregnant. I’m want to quit but I’m not in a position too, so I’m thinking of quitting just before I have the baby. For good if I can. It’s not easy though.
Most people at the moment who aren’t time wasters are looking for full service, at least where I am.

There was a football match on at this morning 9am on itv (Morocco v Croatia) I only got my first call for a booking at 12noon 🤦🏽‍♀️
There are three matches on today with World Cup  favourites.

You were lucky to get that then, the damn thing is on from 9am right through til 6.15pm!
My phone has been dead. Good job I had a good beginning to the month as it looks like being shit whilst the footballs on.

When did this shitshow start? I didn't get any bookings last week. Got 2 no shows instead and a reg cancel through illness. I had a couple of calls during the evening but I missed them. Perhaps if the football was on last week that would explain things, too.

I had one call at lunchtime enquiring about Friday evening. The only night of the effing week I can't do! Mind you, with the way things are this month nothing would have probably come of it.

I do have quiet spells from time to time, but not like this with so many timewasters and no shows  :FF

It started on Sunday which is when the calls stopped for me so can't be blamed for your poor week last week I guess Gypsy but it's certainly not going to help for the next few weeks.
I've had 1 x 30 min booking since Sunday and fingers crossed an hour with a reg tomorrow if he doesn't cancel. It's grim.

The past few months when I have toured, I just having been hitting the numbers I had become so used to. I've noticed a decrease in bookings, decrease in earnings and an increase in idiots, timewasters and hagglers. I don't have a permanent base so i have to constantly tour, pay massive overheads with no guarantees of success. It's so stressful and nerve wracking. One positive is my PG and video sales are still steady. Overall, an uncertain and crappy time to be working (for me anyway)!

I have been working years but since the last 4 years  it's been really shit , I used to be mega busy before the last couple of years  , all this year has been constant cunts on aw ignoring my replys , fake bookings , when I try other sites I get no interest   I put nice face pics on ect nothing happens except all I attract Is dickheads , I have had no new punters for 3 months now and just had odd returnees , really pissing me off I can't imagine it happening to anyone else .
I am fucked off with some I seen as they not really reliable either and just going get rid of them , I even put a really low rate on today and nothing just 1 fucktard ignored my reply think if I don't get any work on another site I just renewed though I dislike the site as lots of tws but I've had bits of work on I be jacking this in .

Same here in Spain, prices have dropped by 25% since pre covid, and the only way I seem to be busy is when I further reduce them by making an offer, so in total, 30% down. Still determining how much of it is the recession and how much is the recent legal changes. Very tired of it all, will start touring again after Christmas.

Pot noodle & a wank 💦💦
Hi my incoming from escorting has Droped by around 40 - 60% a week.
I’m absolutely dreading January, I was joking with a client the other day about how bad January will be & we were joking it will be a pot noodle & a wank rather than visiting an escort.
It would be interesting to know what your clients think & how they see January going.

Merged - your client is obviously a fan of The Office.

Punters don't know or understand how our job works any more than we understand what being a punter is like, so asking them isn't likely to result in anything helpful (in the same way that asking regulars in a pub how to make it busier is just going to get you lots of 'free drink and food and open 24 hours' type answers) ::);D

Some are cutting tours short and not working much up til xmas as it's too quiet and the costs of hotels, gas and food cost £130 a day for a lot so a 4 day tour £520 is a lot to make back with things so bad before any profit.

Hi Milf G ... I was the OP and was referring to idiot texting timewasters this morning (Sunday).

I’m supposed to be in London today until Wednesday but like I said totm. I’m back in January and already have a few bookings. I’m abit of a niche though (bbw) and I offer a niche service.

Depends i think. If you offer a lot services that a lot of your competition might not, even some punters that are not into BBW's but want to try certain services would book them. I remember a punter telling me he not really into BBW's but one caught his attention as she offered quite full on services that he wanted to try as a one off plus she allowed filming and face on show etc.

So sometimes the niche stuff sets you apart if you can bring yourself to do it.

Agree with this I just toured the whole of the U.K. in the snow and oniy had a couple of good days. It was exhausting mentally and just not knowing if I could get to the next destination in the snow. I’ve packed it in now for the next 10 days and when I get some energy back will resume some tours.

Not available today or tonight and not tempted to switch my phone on. Not because I am celebrating the new year. It means nothing to me other than a different date in the morning. Just lazing around all by myself and eating whatever I fancy and plenty of it.
Have checked my earnings for December last year and this year have done better by quite a bit. The way I am feeling right now though I could happily stop working entirely. In a few days time after a rest from men I should be ready to open my door once again.

Yes burn out is looming but I think I can keep going a bit longer 😕🌼

Seen 1 reg today and he was the first I've seen in over a week! Saying that I got quite a few calls yesterday but by then I was so pissed off with idiots I'd turned the phone off and gone out.
Had a few other calls but sounded really old or telling me "I'm nervous"  which in my experience usually ends in a no show or cancelling last min so didn't bother.

Well, I had 2 bookings in total ::) One paid for the hotel, a taxi, and food.
The other one was the actual profit (a guy came for 1.5hours, and stayed for 3.5).
Overall, not great but not tragic either.

A decent result! Do you mind me asking though, if he paid up front for 1.5 hrs how did you get the extra payment when he decided to extend by more than double?  I haven't had such an extension myself during a booking but have had many pre arranged long bookings of 3 or more hours. ( these days I no longer offer them as it would be my worst nightmare 😱)

Thank you, Justine! Yes, this booking saved my bacon.
He came for 1.5 hours (paid up front) and after an hour or so asked if we can extend. He didn't specify for how long, I should have taken the money at that point but didn't, to be honest. We carried on for another 1.5 hours at which point I asked how long he wants to stay. We agreed on the time. He paid me the extra money at the end of the booking. NOT a proper way of doing things on my part, I know. Luckily, it worked out.
(Edit: I think the reason he extended was that he didn't want to be alone at midnight.)

In the meantime, I fucked over a guy, who was supposed to come for 30min.
I was worried he was waiting somewhere around while I was extending the other booking.
I checked my phone afterwards and it turned out that he fucked me over back as was a no-show.
Pardon the profanities.

Like Justine I worked really hard in December and I've mostly taken this week off for a rest - I thought last week would be crap and it was crazy busy so I've swapped them over, since the train strikes would likely make things quiet if I was working anyway. I've taken a few preliminary ones for next week so I'll just have to pull my finger out when they all come back :D

Totally dead for me last week but thankfully since yesterday had 2 each day and had to turn others away because of booking time clashes, already have a reg booked for Sunday so hopefully it will continue although I've often found things slow right down in Feb usually.

Very slow. Usually have way more advanced bookings but hardly have any and not really getting same day bookings either. This was supposed to be a big part of my monthly income, so I'm worried.

I don't know where you are now Ana (I've lost track of your flathunting :)) but I wouldn't worry too much - don't forget the trains were off all last week, and from what I can gather a lot of people were only just coming back into town this week and have had a fair bit of catching up to do.

It's been steady enough for me over in the City, but almost all regulars and returnees with only two noobs all week when it's usually about 50/50, so definitely fewer than I'd normally expect. The fact that it's been pissing down most of the week doesn't help when most are on foot, either  >:(

I was in Glasgow around that time, it wasn't great for me either. I managed to get a longer outcall and made a profit overall but it was modest.
The barrage of people with reports was something I'd never experienced before. :o

You are not alone i tried one of those area's and it was very quiet not much profit. I know a few other women who toured last couple of weeks and none of them had a worth while tour and they are honest ladies who usually do fine in normal times. Touring is not good at the moment and seems to be worse on weekdays then weekends. Was busier before Xmas now deathly quiet. Most of us are in the same boat GG.

I’m doing much better local to where I live and taking a deposit for all bookings in Jan that way I book a cheap hotel when I receive the deposit and I’m not out of pocket. It’s been going ok doing this 2-4 jobs a week. I will tour again end of feb as every industry seems to be striking.

Hello ladies,

Around 6 months ago I moved to a city and began working from home. Initially it was busy (about 5 clients or so a day without having to wait around so long), now since January I am finding that it's a struggle to even get 2 clients when waiting around all day from AM to PM, and sometimes that doesn't even happen especially when life gets in the way etc I wait around all day, cook dinner and eat and by then feel full and lethargic.

I have checked my rates / services and all the other women in the area have similar rates so it can't be that. I have other main advertising sites but it gives me many TWs

I'm not sure what to do as I have nice pictures which are updated regularly. The population in this city is 500k so there should be clients. I have got used to this place now and I don't want to do touring like I was previously.

Is anyone else in a similar situation? Should I wait it out, or does it not improve?

Please advise

Thanks

I think for those who have built up a good supply of regulars do ok and those who can ideally offer a few evenings as well as daytime. For example 10am to 8pm a few days a week. You would be surprised how busy evenings can be as I found that November/December when my son was still in his job so I could crack on.

Yes for me too, after a great January (thankfully)  I was expecting the usual Feb flop and it has arrived as expected.
Hopefully I might get a few regs, did try using AT for a cple of days, got one decent booking from it but the rest were timewasters, many with multiple reports so not going to waste more credits on that, just ride it out and look forward to next month.

To be fair Ana, you posted almost exactly this a month ago about December and January, so it must have picked up for the last two or three weeks and it likely will again :).

It's quiet here for enquiries but I'm finding that the ones who get in touch do actually book, so at least I'm not spending my days answering endless stupid texts. There are more longer bookings and outcalls are increasing, which doesn't particularly suit me but at least it makes the numbers up; unfortunately they're making me so tired I can't be bothered (which is why I'm still sitting here in my dressing gown at 1pm today after getting in from a lengthy one at midnight last night  :-\).

I mentioned previously that December was great for me. January different in that I made just under half of previous month. Added together I was quite happy for two months of bookings.
This month has been so so so far (so so so 😀) but this all suits me perfectly as all the years I worked myself dizzy are behind me and my days are calmer now and worry free.

What happened Amy is that I was caught beginning of Jan on that week where trains and tube were on strike so all of a sudden my phone went dead. I wasn't aware of the strikes (I don't read the news because it's bad for my mental health) so I went into panic mode thinking "this is what January is going to look like", so once the strike week was over my phone went back to normal (silly cow me for panicking, yes I know) and ended up having a good January, however... this month is sucking big time, but then February always suck for me.

Then sign up for the TfL newsletter and they'll tell you about stuff like this! It's really useful (and you might not know, but we've had train strikes on the 1st and 3rd of February too) :).

That's a smart idea. I had a promising fun event on the 3rd, had to change trains and got stuck in the middle of friggin nowhere because the train was not working and really didn't wanted to spend $$$ on a taxi so had to return home.

Just come back from a 3 night tour in Chester,  so one evening after check in then 2 full days, Thursday evening was excellent and paid all my costs  the Friday was quieter than normal but I matched the Thursday evening and the Saturday was really good although it tailed off about 6pm and I decided to switch the light off.

It helps that I have some regular clients in that area now and I do finding getting a few more with lots of reports so there is a bit more weeding out to do but on the whole it was worth going.

I was very surprised at February as traditionally it's usually the slowest month of the year for me and this one turned to be not bad at all $, what I experienced though is a steep fall towards the end of the month. Usually beginnings of the month are very busy but I'm seeing what looks like a very quiet March. The pandemic has definitely changed business patterns in many fields, maybe March is the new February, I have no clue but this month for now is proving to be quiet for me with plenty of cancellations and TW's.

March was my worst month last year. February was okay but March was very quiet.

I just did a very short tour in East Anglia and just found it really dead. I have not done any tours for a while. Anyone else finding the phone is just not ringing much at the moment especially on tours i do not even think there was much competition working either compared to maybe other times of the year?

Hi English Green and I'm established in Essex and its been a poo week and all the Time wasters have crawled out of their sad little holes and given me grief and its my PMT week so I just fantasie about kicking them all in the dangliies lol Frustrating but snows not a problem here. Noticed this year even regulars cancel on me and my best and loyal regulars have been so appreciated and helped me make profit. Due to commitments I can't tour and I stay clear of Brentwood because it's flooded with girls and I don't like the kind of guys that mostly call after 12 with nosebleeds. I'm hoping summer will be good, Men are always horny when it's hot and girls wear less and show some skin.

This week has been my worst in ages, nothing over the weekend and 1x 30 mins on Mon. Only other booking this week, which was an hour, I couldn't do as had a sudden emergency to deal with  :FF
Looks like March is taking over from Feb as worst month of the year although the weather is much colder and more miserable than usual for time of year but can't blame snow as none in this area.

I was busy Tuesday and Wednesday so I just did one today and took the opportunity for the rest of the day off because of the train strikes - I don't think I missed any more. The rest of the week has been OK though, unlike last week which was shocking (but then the week before it was good too). It's like a bloody yoyo.

It will never go back to what it was 4 or 5 years ago with only a small amount of dead or quiet days. I only do this part time now and looking forward to leaving completely when finished all my studies and exams but all takes time, i would leave now but don't want to dip into the savings as worked too hard to get them.

 I know of 3 women who have left recently and they all used to do well but decided the money is not good enough for what is expected now days. All 3 of those women been in the industry from 5 to 14 years so have enough experience of some quiet times.

I have had plenty of interest this week but feeling lacklustre in myself so did not put the mobile on show this week. I just had a formal 1 hour booking no show on me. Luckily the second guy today has reconfirmed. I updated my ukadultzone which certainly in this region is the only viable alternative to adultwork and received a small no of enquiries. They may produce an additional one here and there but not to be depended upon as such.

I found March a slow month in general (slower than February that is for sure), I'm also experiencing "rollercoaster weeks", one week is very slow other week is very busy. Transport strikes have really affected me. I'm quite concerned with all these banks in US and Europe going bust in the last weeks (credit Suisse et al) and all the news doom and gloom regarding recession. I'm paying a lot of attention to the markets and the inflation, it has me concerned.

March was my worst month so far this year, only made just over half of what I made last March and it was my 3rd best month of the year in 2022.
I think it's just the way things are at the minute no matter where we are in the country.
Hopefully with better weather on the way and the predicted fall in utility costs from July things will improve.
Fingers crossed!!

Only a few banks have gone bust.  There is no recession so no idea why people think there is.

The reasons it is unstable is post pandemic plus Brexit plus currently the cost of living crisis.

Sky News mentioned the economy is flatlining a good month ago. No recession after all.

The building trade is still very busy.  I was told over 20 years ago in a London job one time that the signs of a real recession is when the builders have way less work. This is not happening in any shape or form.

Hope this reassures people.

My clients working in finance in the city of London seem to have a different opinion, this said there's a lot of money in London, even if the world goes bust London is still one of the most important international financial hubs, the only problem is tons of competition. Covid, Brexit, biggest inflation in 40 yrs, Ukraine war, energy bills going up, a series of important banks going bust this month etc... all those factors are causing a recession, of course we will have Riki Sunak stating it's all good and recession is a non thing, but then him and his wife are millionaires so he's the last person to feel the pain. It's clearly a non thing for him but not for the rest of us "commoners". As per the building trade I remember all the pandemic while we were on lockdown and panicking about our futures builders were very busy (at least inLondon), during lockdown I would get in the tube and all I saw was builders and similar trades getting back home. Unfortunately the sex industry is one very sensitive to recessions. I'm not painting a picture of doom and gloom, some of us will navigate this better than other depending on a variety of factors like geographical location, business model, having been in the indutrsy for a long time and developed a regular clientele etc... etc...

Easter is a big holiday getaway, especially after the weather we've had recently! The NHS says that 6.5 million people will travel this Easter, and some newspapers say 9 million. All those bank holidays make it more appealing.
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: amy on 04 April 2023, 04:18:48 pm
Yeah, Easter is always crap in my experience (and March had always been my worst month since time immemorial) and lots of people go away or get roped into childcare while they're off. I don't know when half term is but I'd guess at just after the coronation if that isn't too soon? I think they fall six weeks into the school term.

I'm supposed to be sorting out the new photos I've been promising for months, writing my blog and getting my accounts sorted but I'm sitting on the couch eating Welsh cakes, so not a terribly constructive use of my day ;D

Although I speak as a mere internet random after ten years working in this field I have always found April considerably quieter than other months. Which suggests people go away Easter a lot even if it is a few days break and clients have told me too this is what they do over the years when they return for repeat visits at other times.

Nothing but timewasters all day today.
First one called at 8am and sounded like he was still in bed, likely wanking.
Two since then, both wanting all the details and ringing off saying they were going to put a booking in, neither did.
When I checked, the first that said he was putting a booking in had 3 reports for being a timewaster/ no show.
The second none booker didn't have warnings but sounded very hesitant.
Where are all the genuine clients?
I'm really beginning to wonder if this is worth all the hassle and stress anymore.

Things were always pretty steady for me, but then I had two bad reviews, both from guys who got annoyed that I had laid down some boundaries between me and their bad/rude/invasive behaviour, and since then things have really been affected for me.I have regulars and returns which helps, but its not enough, I'm just about covering everything these last months since it happened. I get good days/weeks but less consistently now. It highlights to me how precarious this industry can be, you can do everything right and work hard and try and be a good provider but things can just free-fall because of silly mistakes or things outside of your control  :(

I'm only averaging around 3 bookings a week now where as 3 a day wasn't unusual before.

Its not just the timewasters, its the regs who seem to have an entitled air of cancelling, turning up early or late as they assume business is slack and I will accept their behaviour.  Like fuck!

So for the last few weeks I been banning some long term regs, and now really feel its just not worth it anymore.  I gone to part time and I out this year.

I feel like I gone full circle to when I started 15 plus years ago,  hours only with business men during office hours, and the pays still exactly the same but the value of it is so much less than back then.  So when I factor in all the work related risks, no its not worth it at all anymore.

Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: MissElvira on 21 April 2023, 10:39:03 am
It really is a worry especially when you have to rent a place for work and the profit is only just worth it. For me I'm in East Anglia and there is so many girls now touring here so might just be that there is more competition and I may need to tour .But honestly it's so hard to tell because February I did so good with 5 bookings a day and turning work away. So hoping it's just this month due to Easter half term hols and spending more on leisure and holidays so a tight month for both parents and grandparents.

I have had enough interest but am feeling a nervous wreck this week so have had to take some time off. I only saw three clients and realistically I could do with 6 to 8 clients a week but have been feeling on the brink.

I think once spring starts people go away over the Easter plus spend money socialising after the long winter hermit phase. In addition they spend money and time on their homes and gardens. It is bound to pick up from May.

I always find around bank holiday dates and we have had a couple recently it goes much quieter. They must plan extra money to spend out on going away and celebrations for this weekend involves more spending.

I didn’t work this week as it was between two bank holidays and I knew it would be iffy.
I don’t mind travelling out on a bank holiday (like I’m doing at the end of the month) but I won’t work them.

Some girls find them busy though so I suppose it’s whether you want to spend the money on a hotel or not if you’re touring.

I can see why so many ladies are going this way now. The majority of calls I get now say they are not AW members and many of them have reports on CE.
It wasn't like this a few years ago, previously I've met loads of decent guys who were not members but I rarely feel confident seeing guys who are not now.
I don't  want to start asking for deposits as it seems impossible to do so without your real details appearing and the risk of guys scamming/ outing you to the bank if something upsets them .
I've blocked 6 today, all after 4pm when the phone went crazy with bored idiots just home from work, one with his kids screaming in the background.

Yeah, I've had a crazy busy week and I'm glad to have pulled back the crappy couple of weeks before Easter, but the City has been deserted this morning apart from dumb tourists so I've packed up and bogged off to the coast for the weekend. Christ alone knows what the West End is like.

Typically half an hour after I left I get the lone nice sounding text from a bloke at London Bridge. Ffs ;D

There is another bank holiday end of May.

I have found a few punters, clients booking ahead would cancel when realising their booking fell on or near a bank holiday. For this reason I always mention proximity to bank holidays when taking bookings.

I'm glad I took weeks off because I just can't stand how slow it's got. I'm use to being able to fill a day with work and turn away work but that's not been the case last month. But I did put my profile in Bristol to get my gallery sales up and I got loads of emails so maybe I just need to tour. I reluctantly start back in a week so will have to see what happens.

This is the new norm, more quiet periods. 5 to 7 years ago it was mostly good to average weeks with a few bad ones. Now days i am finding more average or bad weeks than good weeks. This is why i don't work full time touring it's not worth it anymore.

That's exactly my impression, and my recent experiences seem to confirm that!
In my case, the very few men I'm seeing do belong to that "class", and they can be extremely generous.
But... they ask, most of the times, for quite unusual services, some of which not every escort is prepared to offer...

Half term holidays are nothing new - we had them when I was a child and I started school in 1977 :D

The Spring bank holiday this Monday has been going for as long as I can remember too, and it's the coronation one that was on the 8th that was an extra/one off day. The 'blame' lies squarely with the government (specifically the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, I think) and it was the Bank of England that started it all off in the first place.

I put my number on Adultwork yesterday morning and since then I've had two days of some of the most shite, pointless and thick as fuck texts in history; God knows what's going on. The sensible ones who actually book and turn up have been fine, but the onslaught of fuckwits is wearing me out enough that I'm finishing after this next one today and having an early night with my out of date Ferrero Rochers ;D

Business died for me since last Friday, and I don't understand it.
My advertising hasn't changed at all.
Nothing has changed  (except a bit of warm weather).

I think most of my clients found me via Vivastreet so I wonder if there has been an algorithm. I notice VivaStreet seems to be a little bit lower down the google search engine than what I remember.

Has anyone else noticed fewer calls from Vivastreet?

Scratch the 1 or 2 a day, not seen anyone in the last 3 days. Two guys booked 2 and 3 days in advance, never to be heard from again.
Really don't know what they want, seems like the 3 bears... not too hot, not too cold, has to be just right.

I can confirm that here too, in Lisbon, because of the heat, guys seem more prone to engage in nocturnal meetings.

Dead this morning so have amended my AW header to include use of my large pedestal fan up in my room.

Fingers crossed. Not every client can meet evenings. Most bookings are down to last minute window opportunities.

What happened last summer heatwave ladies as I lived largely off my pension I had cashed then?? How did it go?

Is streetwork allowed?
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: amy on 16 June 2023, 01:41:22 pm
No, street sex work is illegal but some people prefer it - no ads or photos to faff with, or stupid phone calls and texts to answer, plus you get to see the punter out in public before you do anything rather than having him standing in your doorway. Like everything else it has it's pros and cons, and like everything else there are ways to make it safer and less safe :)

Back on topic, I suspect the comments about the heat putting them off until later are bang on - I've had two this week asking to come at 9pm which is long after I finish. Thankfully it's cooling down a vit next week so I'll pull it back then as I'm sacking it after the next one today.

Oh really, I used Crayoz a while ago so might try again, I'm use to timewasters been loads this years.

There's a big influx of competition in my area so I get it, It's hard because obviously new talent touring is going to be fresh meat for local guys wanting to Try someone new. Still it's frustrating and I don't tour and not going to change anything drastic and offer or do stuff I'm not going to feel comfortable with. I put my real age on so I sometimes wonder if shaving 5 years off might help lol

I'm 42 but I get told I look mid thirties, But I don't show my face on my AW profile. Many women shave up to 10 years off their AW age so guy's might think I'm older than I put. I think I'm just feeling insecure lately and that's why I'm over thinking my age is a hurdle but probably I'm just not for everyone.

I'm fifty and do fine - if a punter doesn't fancy me at fifty, why would he if my ads were exactly the same but he thought I was forty five?

It's been done to death here already, but lying on your ads really doesn't help anybody; I've been told many, MANY times I don't look fifty - I do (because I am fifty, therefore I can't possibly look any other age) but part of the reason they think that is because so many of the 'fifty year olds' they've seen have been closer to sixty. And conversely if a bloke thinks I'm revolting then a few years difference on the age (or twenty quid off the price, or any other minor adjustment) isn't going to alter that :D

I suppose its a nice surprise for punters if we look young for our age but I definitely don't look like I did at 35 just aging well.

I've been asked for bookings for next few weeks so that's good and a relief to know I'll make some gains and hopefully more. The heat does put me off working but I know after August it gets busy for me.

But it isn't - that's the point. Equating younger with 'better' when some punters deliberately seek out and book women who are 40, 50 and 60+ doesn't work - I've had a handful over the years who didn't return because I looked younger than they were expecting despite being truthful about my age, because they'd assumed I would look whatever their perception of 'older' was (and that isn't some pathetic stealth boast; when I was 20-25 I was broke and looked like absolute shit).

Everybody has the odd shit week/month, and it normally means a good one is on the way :)

Yep, I'm nearly fifty which makes me one of the oldest in my area. It wouldn't even cross my mind to shave off any years. What would be the point? It would only lead to walk outs and I'm getting enough enquiries for my needs. There are plenty of people out there who specifically want to book with mature ladies so don't let age worry you  :)

I thought it might be but managed 4 bookings before finishing at 2. Could have done a couple more but need to get home.
At any given moment in any given town, some man somewhere will have the horn.

Good afternoon ladies,


I know I haven't really posted and am fairly new to SAAFE because I work on and off.

Last night I have received a few legit calls that seemed legit to me, but today it is scammers day. I get occasional calls where I get asked about my Aw name...now.. I do not advertise anywhere else...so who are these people and how do they obtain my number. They [offensive content removed] seem pretty uneducated.  Are they pimps trying to bump their girls? Or other website moderators that are trying to make money off our ads.
I have only just got bk to escorting since I am a student and have a civvy job and am pretty baffled of the amount of time wasting predators are out there...

I hope work picks up for everyone soon x


Love,
K

I definitely have a better body than when I was in my twenties so I don't know why I worry, I think I sometimes compare myself to other girls which is silly and a waste of energy. Your post Amy gave me a wake up call x I wouldn't want to be in my twenties again and after 35 my life got better so I'm not going to winge about my age anymore lol

Out of desperation I bought some kind of coconut spray that's supposed to stop my hair frizzing in the humidity and as a result I have dry crispy hair that is now also greasy. I will be a delight tomorrow :D

I was dreading this week but it was actually ok but i do get very wet clammy skin it's horrible with the humidity. The apartment I rented luckily was in the shade so not to bad because the fan provided was useless.

I use JVN products and one called Air dry cream that stops my frizz and is not greasy and I use a dry shampoo because my roots gets greasy fast, Its Klorane but I only use it sparingly.

I'm in Farringdon and has been a quiet week because it's end of the month (it always get quiet for me end of the month). Said this.. things have taken a gradual slow dive since the end of the pandemic. So many of my clients are working from home now, others are penny pinching since the increase of bills and mortgage interests. I'm not sure end of the month is a good time to tour in London, then of course I may be wrong (?)

Yes also noticed a downward trajectory. Like yeah, the target is hit most of the time, but inquiries are low or of poor quality, no shows increased, guys who used to punt often don’t do so, and noticed a very clear decline in advance bookings. Used to be 2-4 weeks booked up, now always looking at patchy diary  and more “on the day” or at least day before clients.

I think it is a lot quieter July and August this year as it is the cost of living crisis plus people cannot get away from office or hybrid jobs. Not everybody goes away thouggh.

Saw just one today which is bad for a Monday. Enquiries very ropey sounding so blocked a fair few. An afternoon one had to cancel so turned off my mobile in disgust at lunch. Got advance bookings for Wed and Fri though.

I am on a train travelling to a booking, the trains are running. At a main line station some delays due to mechanical failures,passenger medical emergency, only one train I heard cancelled due to staff shortage.

I haven't travelled by train for 2 years, so can't comment on how normal this is. I set off allowing plenty of time.

I only found out about the ASLEF action yesterday, I had looked up strike action before accepting the booking and kept an eye on it last week.

Terrible today. I booked a day room and had two bookings booked. 1 no showed and the other was a 2 hour booking from a regular. Made profit but I didn’t want to hang around to stay any longer as my phone was dead. Area was Earls Court. I was quite shocked as I lived there for two years but I noticed I wasn’t getting a lot of work towards the end of it. Moved to outskirts of north London and I’m hitting target every day. That’s the last time I will try and work in central London again.

I'm a grateful driver but using the train is a huge relief, I've driven to the city I visited last night.

Difference in energy levels is noticeable, also ecomonical when parking is taken into account.

At the large city station now so far only 2 trains announced cancelled due to short staff.

More Train strikes ahead
Aslef members at 16 rail operators will refuse to work overtime - an action short of a strike - on the following days:

Monday 3 July

Tuesday 4 July

Wednesday 5 July

Thursday 6 July

Friday 7 July

Saturday 8 July

So I’m not getting railed then how great

The train strike days are Thursday 20th, Saturday 22nd and Saturday 29th, so mostly affecting those who work weekends. This is an overtime ban as Missy said, so bar a few cancellations (which are likely to be mostly on the very first and last services) it won't have a huge effect :)

London Tube workers will strike for six days in a row over pensions, job cuts and working conditions.
Underground workers will walk out from Sunday 23 July to Friday 28 July, the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) has announced.

Yep yesterday was bad for me too and I didn't even have AT on, just my number.
Spent most of the day blocking numbers, all had CE reports ranging from no shows to using fake cash and violence, one had 32 reports!   Ended up with 1 x 30 min booking with a reg  :-\   
The crazies were certainly out in force!

Starting with I can pay by bank transfer? Was so strange...after 2sec, told me I can pay cash, I have cash but not with me. Told him, just for funny, you can pay by bank transfer.

Sorry Amelie, I don't remember which area it was reported from on CE, it was one of the numerous guys I blocked yesterday.
Pay day is generally the last Friday of the month so most should have been paid a couple of weeks ago.

This is the worst week I have had in years.  Though to be fair I only worked very intermittently throughout the last three years.

I have added some new photos for AW plus one for the main page and bought a new outfit from Lovehoney to update some more pics too.

Hopefully once these are up by the aw technical team Friday will be better for me.....

They have always managed in the past to get away from work. It's cost of living for a lot of them, they change their mind after a wank and realise they don't need to spend at the moment or book someone else cheaper.

They call me from reception to tell me they are concerned about my visitor. And I told them do not let him inside. I don't know how it must act. I paid hotel and for tomorrow and it a very expensive. I will be discreet ( I m very discreet, but look this idiot what he did. 
Any advices are welcomed! I m anxious at this moment. I suppose they know what I do ( staff of hotel)/I come from one year, all the time I m quite discrete, but...

My phone was ringing Wenesday, for Friday a appointment,  most wanted at the same hours, someone takes 2hrs and afters cancel. Nothing it s sure at this days.

Finally picking up for me in North London. Since moving here my price has always been above average for the area. I bit the bullet and reduce my 1 hour to £170 and 30 mins to £100 (in line with the areas competition).  Now I have a fully booked day. I haven’t lowered my prices for 4 years. I really didn’t want to do it but it’s much better for me than waiting around all day at a higher price.

It seems like only about 1 in 10 enquiries turn into a booking with a normal, decent guy.
It never used to be like this. I've only been subscribing to the reporting site for a year or so after an increase in timewasters, prior to that I had virtually no issues of this type at all.

I have noticed since Covid there lots of unstable bad ones about. I never used to really get bad experiences prior to this but these days, I feel I always have to have my guard up to stop undesirables slipping through. It can be exhausting as once one starts I noticed the rest follow in the day.

Still some good ones about but I feel it’s not the same as it once was. Lots of people have lost their head since lockdown.  Just have to  make sure bad unstable once’s don’t slip through. There to many of them About now.

There is still a few good guys out there but just not enough to make it worth while like it used to be. I think a lot of the better guys have quit or tightened there belt with cost of living so left with one's that have sex addiction and want to get away with everything for less money. A lot of the time the newbies that don't do it much or first time behave so much better and certainly more grateful for the job we do.

I think the summer holidays are going to be very slow.

I have noticed since Covid there lots of unstable bad ones about. I never used to really get bad experiences prior to this but these days, I feel I always have to have my guard up to stop undesirables slipping through. It can be exhausting as once one starts I noticed the rest follow in the day.

Still some good ones about but I feel it’s not the same as it once was. Lots of people have lost their head since lockdown.  Just have to  make sure bad unstable once’s don’t slip through. There to many of them About now.

This absolutely mirrors my experience, I'm sorry that you are having the same problems but reasured that it's not just my imagination or paranoia.
I am so much more nervous about seeing new guys than I ever used to be and feel that I maybe come across as a bit defensive when answering calls now as a result so maybe miss bookings that might have been ok. It's so frustrating.

I bought the Local Escort Search today in the hope that it might help. 
Waste of time, lots of blocks and reportings again although I have got 3 bookings with regs in for later in the week so hopefully will make something this week.

It's been so bad last week and this as well. The most quite summer ever. I should have stayed in Dubai even for the summer. If I knew it'd be this bad I wouldn't come to London, the city is going down

Absolutely dead today until 90 mins before I was due to finish by which time I'd lost all motivation and couldn't be arsed to answer the phone.
Probably wouldn't have been a genuine client anyway.
Bank holiday weekends often tend to be quiet as I suspect many guys have to spend time with wife and families.

Don't forget there's a train strike as well as bank holiday and school summer holidays. I don't work weekends anyway bar very occasional Saturday afternoons, but this weekend was always going to be a non starter here in the City.

I played Pokémon Go, went grocery shopping and got my eyebrows microbladed, so not a total waste of a day :D

Finally today I meet only 2 client's both one 1hr. Hilarious that I paid 200 hotel and my profit only 200. Lots on timewasters, but lots. Last time touring here I left with 4000 in 5 days, after paying hotels around 2000. So, yes, very different. The same place, sometimes very busy, without time wasters and sometimes only try your patience. I think on weekends and BH they are not serious.

Same here. Very quiet lately which is rather unusual for me. An almost always fully booked either with agency or privates but it's not the case lately and I keep getting shit clients on top of that. I had one with a very thick penis the other day and I ended up with a tear on my vagina. No wonder why "other girls wouldn't see him or tell him to ef off when they saw the size of his penis". Am off for a few days now, at least I have enough money to keep me off work til it heals.

After so many years in this industry, I've stopped trying to make sense of the business levels. Some weeks I know it's going to be quieter than others due to external factors, other weeks I get an unexpected influx of bookings and I can't possible accommodate them all.

I simply write down my financial target for each week and manifest that those bookings will come. Even on the weeks where it looks like it will be a struggle and inquiries are slow, I always get to that target. I've recognised that if I have too much attachment to the figure, and worrying about it, thinking it's not going to happen, then it doesn't.

Not at all. The opposite in fact. Not everywhere is good on a weekend though.

I don’t ever work in London so I can’t comment on that area but I’ve turned so many bookings away today it’s ridiculous.

Have you tried CrazyOz? I haven't been on viva for ages but I did get the odd decent regular from it.


[quote fixed]

I used to use CrazyOz and at first it was okay then the owner started deleting my ads and claiming I had been reported as fake and he needed verification. Naturally I did a verification face photo and his reply was “That’s not enough” he asked me to do a body picture with the ad number on a piece of paper, I explained to him this isn’t accurate verification as a face photo is so how would it prove I am who I say I am. He told me I either do it or I’ll be banned from posting ads, I didn’t reply and when I checked my ad a few days later it had been deleted and I received an email to say it had been deleted for “Fake photos” and that I had to pay £15 to lift the ban. I never did.

I tried again months after and my ad was up for a while with no problems, but then he deleted it again claiming it was a “duplicate ad” but it wasn’t as I only had one ad up at the time. I contacted him via the contact form about this and was met with pure aggression that if I don’t follow the rules the police would be involved, not sure what law I broke… I then google the website and found reviews for the website and it turned out I was not the only one who had the same issue.

The site has gone downhill and I don’t think many people get much business from it anymore.

Hi everyone

I'm having the worst couple of months I've ever had in escorting. So many fake bookings, really awkward clients,no-one paying a deposit, just so many timewasters. Is this a running theme or is it just me? I thought things would go back to normal this week because its September but it's been dead.

Have you been working in a new area or put a new ad up somewhere Lara - that could explain it? Although I've had no end of numpties texting this week too; I'm guessing they've got a touch of the sun maybe.

I've also had some shocking bookings this last couple of weeks having said that (including a man who requested GFE but then didn't want any kissing or physical contact and just lay there like a dead fish, and a man who took 34 text messages to arrange a completely routine half hour incall) but thankfully they've been punctuated with nice ones.

Same me. It all started going downhill around October/November last year and I was hoping things will improve but unfortunatally it/s been even worse since I returned to London last month. I don't remember things being so bad and weird. Of course there were better and worse weeks but never like this and I also noticed clients acting weird, being rude, complaining about the prices and acting stupid, ignoring my prices, telling me how much they want to pay. Last week was very good for me, but the week before was terrible. It,s been super busy week followed by very quite one lately

In central London and not only it's super slow but there must be a "bad apples international conference 2023" going on this week because I've had the biggest string of them trying to book.

Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: MissElvira on 13 September 2023, 09:42:03 pm
Very unpredictable indeed, It's only my regulars that's helping me hit my target when I work which now I've gone down to just 8 days a month. Definitely slower than before covid and during covid, Hardly any new guys or timewasters. Now I am cautious about spending and cutting back on luxuries until things are stable. And I have a good profile with loads of feedback and new pics every 2 weeks so not sure there's more I could do. Don't even think lowering rates would help, But I am blessed with regulars and do 2 bookings on a dud day and can do 6 on a good day. Really hoping next month and towards Christmas picks up.

Totally agree it's always one step forward and 2 steps behind. You have a good month then next month is terrible so takes away the good month. It's not a reliable business. The men i attract and want to see are not the majority.
I like being able to work when you want and finish when you want so that is a good thing but i want a regular income with something i am proud of and can talk about openly. I am working towards that. I think October last year was much better. I remember September last year being awful i don't think i worked much of it.

Yea last year whenever I wanted to work, I could at least see 2-3 a day, now that's my aim not my low bar. Part of it is though I've gotten so much more intolerant of idiots recently though, so my feelings of needing to be fussier because of my mental health have collided with a general downturn.

Those post pandemic happy days are over… :FF I might add that I've always found end of September towards beginning October a decline in business" and it's always after the second week of October that things start happening and get's busy till mid-end of February. The decline this time is being much steeper than usual for some reason.

After 0 bookings all weekend I gritted my teeth and paid to put AT on.
I have fielded about 40 calls/texts/emails today, (fecking draining in itself!) majority were blocked due to reports rangeing from no shows to violence/robbery, others were flaky wankers ( some literally)

It culminated in 1 x 45 min booking who took the piss and over stayed to almost an hour, despite me trying to chivvy him along. How I kept my shit together I still don't know. I did pass comment on him needing to book longer next time as he expressed a desire to return (no shit you tight bastard considering the great service you got on the cheap) which seemingly fell on deaf ears.
So now I've increased my 45 min rate to only marginally cheaper than an hour.
So I'd tried to give a variation of reasonable pricing options during these difficult times but you will always get selfish dickheads like that spoiling it for everyone else.

Draining!

My gallery sales are up, AW Views are up but it's unusually quiet. I've put on new fresh pictures to, Just can't think whats going on, I will at the least make back hotel costs and a little on top but not worth booking a hotel for 3 days. Is anyone supplementing with camming? I am thinking of giving it a go, Guy's are buying my clips so maybe they are spending less on camming and private galleries at the moment.

Don't you love when you politely turn down someone because your gut instinct is "just telling you something but you can't really nail what" then you get all this nasty abuse/crazy shyte/threats and you're like "YAY! GOOD JOB GUT INSTINCT!" (inserts pat on the shoulder).

Yep it's quiet or dead for some touring locations. It is not you. You could go on a tour and make a loss especially if you pick wrong area. I did 2 short tours recently one was alright and one totally crap.

I know it’s known as a time waster place but this is taking the mic. Also the hotel was £300 for two nights to add insult to injury. This has been the worst month for me this year bad times.

I used to find Cambridge OK and the punters were less grim than Oxford, but it was bloody expensive and there were some proper wankers there too. I think I eventually learned that I don't do well in university places, especially the ones that think they're better than other university places.

I was having a good week up until today, when I foolishly decided to put on the green available thing thinking I could round off the week and have tomorrow off to get my jobs done (I worked Monday, which is normally my day off). One booking all day, and that was a bloke who'd been before ;D.

I don't normally need to tour and do ok sticking to my usual area, Have wanted to try Cambridge. I had a guy today who just came across odd, So many long text messages and kept telling me he was safe to see and even sent a pic of driver licence, Kept calling my phone and even after agreed time he turns up early calling my phone. It's like he was trying too hard to convince me to see him and My gut was screaming no and my head was thinking I can't afford to be paranoid. I ended up turning him away and he then sent a nasty text, So my gut was right.

I think it's bad for most of us for some reason. This week has been worse than ever. I think all genuine clients got broke and think twice before booking an escort and all who is left are time wasters, nasty wankers

Everyone I speak to says the same thing - it's gone quiet and bookings aren't anywhere near as many as it used to be.

In all my years in this industry, I have never struggled, thankfully. Even when I left, came back, left, came back, I always managed to pick it back up to a good place.

In this last month, even I have been quiet to the point I checked my website contact form was still working 😅 I don't really use AW, and tbh, don't have good words to say about the kind of clients I get off there (most of them, anyway).

I have always been very optimistic about work, that the money always comes. But September? Made me want to claw my own eyes out. 2 star clients the whole way.

I have some very good regs but even those regs have become less frequent than they were. Weekly went down to twice weekly, twice weekly went to monthly, and I can probably count on one hand the clients that I see as reliable clients who I know will book when they usually book.

It's the sign of the times. There's always work but we certainly have to work more for less money and deal with people we wouldn't normally.

It's shit. But another reason why it's important to have a few income streams, whether that's other avenues in this industry, or avenues outwith.

I've had guys emailing asking for a specific day and time, when I say yes I can do that give me a call to arrange... nothing.
Or because I ask for a phone call to secure a booking " Oh my wife is home so I cant call. Odd that he doesn't call at any point throughout the day so not sure when he was thinking he could get out to visit me as even a phone call seems impossible ...
They don't want to spend money on a booking they just want the attention and maybe wank over what might have been, weidos.

Absolutely horrific in Central London. Literally the worst week ever, I couldn't believe it.

There were strikes before but it wasn't as bad as this week. I don't know what's going on this week. The phone is dead, last 2 days not even the usual timewasters asking for pictures. What I am used to is waking up to a lot of messages and it usually takes me time going through them, but last few days I've been getting only 2-4 messages while I don't answer the phone. I've been in this business on and off since few years now and every time I came back, there was always money to be made, even during lockdown. It got completely quite this week as if all clients left the city. I don't know what's going on, I even got to the point when I keep checking if my adds are still on

Hopefully the majority of us realise that it's not us.
I take comfort in the great feedback ( verbally in person) from the few genuine guys and regs that I see that it's not me but I think it's the sheer volume of nasty timewasters now that make it quite soul destroying.
As you say, it would be so satisfying to get them back in some way but I find that posting anything on your profile about their behaviour just encourages them sadly.

I've ticked over with regulars but even they aren't enough to pay for a place to work from in my area anymore.

Yes I generally like to limit footfall too but with the way things are now I'm loath to turn work down when I've hit my usual limit as you never know when the next booking will be.  It's not unusual now to go days without seeing anyone.

It's shaping up to be a good week here but my God I am working for every bloody penny. Even the stupid text exchanges just to arrange a completely unremarkable half hour incall are driving me nuts; I don't think I've dealt with a single person who's read my ad properly in about a week.

Thankfully if I can get another decent day in tomorrow I can sack it early on Friday and do something else but I should be trying to save up for Christmas really. I'm keeping myself going by mentally adding another day off every three bookings or so :D

It's like they are broke and bored at home but try to message just so they can get attention. I honestly don't know what's going on. It has been quite but I was getting bookings, less than last year but I was seeing clients. Since last week it's been dead. I saw only 2 clients since Monday last week. Before I was seeing at least one a day, since I came back to London few months ago I had days when I saw no body but since last week it's been even worse

Here in my area in Scotland, the situation is similar. Last year, October was my best month.
Now I hardly get any bookings. Sometimes my phone is silent almost the whole day.  If someone writes, they only want TW or SMS ping pong.
I thought a lot about what the problem could be.
I think the problem is complex.

On the one hand, the increase in the cost of living.
Also, more and more girls choose this job. Falling demand and growing supply are hurting business in every sector.

Secondly, I see the problem in the change of advertising pages. In the UK, the two main websites are AW and VS.
VS has tightened a lot about what should not be written in the text of the ads. I think that the blank, "template" text of the ads discourages the remaining guests from making reservations.

Unfortunately, my many years of experience and statistics say that even in the normal period, demand decreases as the end of the year approaches.  November and December are always fewer customer inquiries and January is almost a dead period.
In this time of change,this  it will be catastrophic for many of us.

I think how busy you are overall greatly depends what you show and how much you offer. It's not like it was years ago where less was offered and could earn loads.

For example if you don't show your face and services are considered basic to a lot of customers you probably will earn less then someone who offers more services, does videos and filming, shows face and offers full GFE and PSE.

This is what i see anyway and i don't think it's all to do with looks if you offer extreme services you can still be busy as a lot of clients do want a lot more now days.

I used to know a lady that was age 53 she would say the same that she is nothing to look at and her clients don't book her for her face and figure as such (her words not mine) but she did a lot of services PSE type with submissive extreme stuff and she earned good money most of the time. One time when she was ill and reduced all services down to basic suddenly hardly any work! That speaks volumes.

For women that tour if you pick the wrong area it can be equally quiet. Some locations are a lot quieter on the phone than other areas. So location location location can be important to what you earn.

Post by: amy on 12 October 2023, 02:34:35 pm
I don't agree that demand has fallen. When I started working the only way to punt if you didn't want to go to a parlour/working flat or pick up a street sex worker was via the phone box cards or newspaper ads, which had no photos or useful information and would have been a gamble to say the least. There was no Google Maps, and a few years before that no mobile phones.

Now, anybody can call up a website on their phone and send a quick text having seen pictures, prices, services and got a pretty good idea of location - it would be nuts to say that punting hasn't increased over the last twenty years or so because it's accessible to virtually anyone who wants it. Like everything else, some people will always do OK and some will always struggle regardless of what they offer and there isn't always an obvious reason why, at least to us because we're not punters :)

I'm too frazzled to work after yesterday and Tuesday, so my phone is off :D

True but when someone was busy before in the same area, was offering the same services for the same price, and now it's quite, clearly something's not right and when I hear similar thing from more girls and some are not in the UK but in other countries in Europe, it's concerning

Of course we are in a cost of living crisis so how things were 5 years ago is nothing like it is today. It's just not a reliable industry to be in especially with touring it's more flakey than ever.

In fact sometimes being in 1 area most of the time and if it's not a punting desert you can do better then going on tour as you get to build up regulars and they definately can keep some women ticking over in bad times. I used to think tours was better being the newbie in the area but i don't think that anymore. I used to do well in smaller towns but now finding these are much quieter and sometimes i have to go places with more population to earn money which sometimes i hate going to areas i am not that keen on.

2 bookings today and a lot of TW and ridiculous messages: "Hi', "How are you?".
My touring is for 25 days in different locations, I'm on day 11, so I must keep my mind on it...
But I'm tired...
Luckily I will be home for 21 days, so, yes, I will resist.
Good luck, everyone!
Also, think it is a good idea to work at Christmas time?

Yep same for me, two nice easy regs, not long bookings but anything is a bonus these days and yes the ridiculous messages too, the last one being "Hey x"  I mean really?  What do they honestly expect from that?
As for Christmas, I usually work between Christmas and New Year mainly from the boredom factor. There is only so long you can sit around eating and drinking. I work from home so no overheads and usually get a few.

Keep going everyone , we're all struggling but it comforts me knowing we are all in the same boat . we are still Great!

Dead for me yesterday.  Lots of time wasters, I was again with lots of bookings with no-shows. I was wasting hotel money, too. In South West, Bristol. Today one booking.  I will reduce my tour by one week it will be and this week has been horrible. I started to be very anxious, I needed to touch my target. They travel in October, holidays.  Who knows?
Good luck, everyone. 
Does someone know if Edinburgh is better at the moment? Thanks

It's still bad. If not my regulars last week, it'd be very bad, and now back to quite again. I am glad it's my last few days in London. I am back in November and if it's still bad I am leaving in December and I don't think I'll be back any time soon. It's so weird, I would have never expected London could be this quite.

I am central London based, have been for the last 5 years, I am always busy, always exceeding my targets each week with a mix of regulars and new clients. Since last September I have noticed things have become quiet (still making my targets though), this last 3 weeks have been totally dead, I am literally sitting at home with my phone not ringing (not even from TW).

It's everywhere dead. I toured more than 17 days in a few very different areas. With my regulars, I touch my weekly target but it a so dead, up and down...
Makes me sick.  On Sunday I was with 0 bookings, paying for an expensive hotel. Yesterday only 2 bookings. Today dead, no calls, nothing. I will leave next Monday and, hopefully, be better over the weekend. I will return after 20th November but with no so much hope. I will start to think seriously if it is worth doing this

I think this is part of the problem. Clients assume we are always busy and that the economic climate isn't affecting us for some reason.
They don't seem to realise that in a lot of cases it's very much a use it or lose it situation.

There’s plenty of articles in reputed finance magazines such as Forbes etc… that explain the 2023 recession. They state it’s due to start towards the end of the year (now?) and will last most of 2024. Apparently the UK is the country in the G7 that will be most affected by the recession. This new recession won’t be as bad as the crash of 2008, but more a normal consequence of covid/pandemic/Ukraine war/brexit.

I know so many seem to think you booked up for rest of day. I think a lot of women do like to tell clients they are busy a lot of the time so they look popular and that also gives clients the impression not much affects us with what is happening in the world. I think since the cost of living a lot more clients book less. I have had a fair few say they used to do it once a month now do it every 2 to 3 months.

Very similar for me. Definitely seeing a massive drop since last year. Thankfully I have a few regulars and I'm in a fairly high-profile area, but the odd request is now definitely the bottom-of-the-barrel type asking for ridiculous discounts (which I don't do).

Also, it seems there was (at least in my area) a massive influx of young Brazilians undercutting prices. Doesn't help either.

But yes, overall, doing now maybe 20% of the old "normal" from 2 years ago.

my phone is far slower than usual the past 3 weeks even the timewasters have chilled out but I’m hitting targets every week for now. I’m keeping my fingers crossed there’s a pattern where it seems to be dead in the morning from 8-12 then gets really busy then completely dead apart from tw texts after 8 again.

It seems like there is more bad months than good months then ever before. Some of it though i am being restricted to where i can travel as some areas have more punters in than other areas. So that makes it worse. I can only do this part time now due to studying and other commitments so limited in choosing areas.

I don't set any targets anymore in this business, i only use it to survive until i get to my goal of full time new career.

I don't blame you, I believe the sex industry (specially escorting) has turned into something that needs to be done as a side gig, it's something that is turning unsustainable as a full time occupation, the good times are over and there's many reasons to blame, from recessions, to Tinder, men paying cam girls or OF ladies over IRL encounters etc... I may be wrong but that's my overall impression.

It's definitely side gig territory now, plus lots of men under the age of say 25 or so, seem to be increasingly sexless little drones.

Men under 25 have never had money so they can stay sexless as much as they want  :, it’s their big brothers and dads that I’m concerned with.

I think when you combine the cost of living crisis and the impact it's having on clients and then add the fact that more and more women are coming into the biz cause they are so skint then you  have less clients and more providers. Bound to happen. Just got to ride it out and hope it improves. I think I'd be ok where I used to live as I had so many regs but now..... welll guys are less likely to take a risk on a new girl - even with loads of feedback, cause if they only have one punt a month they are going to stick to what they know. Part time civvie job till I build up some regs up here. at least the move reduced my cost of living! Sending love and hugs to everyone struggling.

On quiet days I still can see that I’m getting anywhere between 500-800 profile views per day. So guys are still clearly browsing for escorts. I only get bookings if I put my profile on multiple locations and available today. I have put my price down to £150 per hour with extras in north London, I tried £200 but it just won’t work with the amount of profiles that are £100-£150 per hour. So far it’s been busy but I don’t want to speak too soon.

I’m in a WhatsApp group with girls who are £400+ per hour as I used to be on agencies at this price in Central London. They still get bookings and advertise jobs in there. Guys are paying £1000 for 2 hours for some bookings. They are still able to make a living with these high rates and extortionate rent. I know too well, but I much prefer having lower costs and being more affordable. I think if you have a really good profile and pics you can get busy - profile needs to be constantly updated. I found that I have to make sure I am giving an excellent service to all clients even if I’m not in the mood/difficult client because I am working to build up regulars. In my spare time I have started gym every day. It’s helping with my mental health and keeping positive. You have to look after yourself I can’t stand to sit in doors all day and worryx

October is always quiet for me. Looking back on years of accounts, October has always been my worst month. With 7 days left, I'm 3k away from my usual target. No business is busy every month. I haven't found this year bad profit wise but I have seen a decline in what I would call 'decent clients'. There are still many but definitely less 'good new clients' coming through. Thank god for lovely regulars.

And the start of this week sun & Mon really good as well

But I’m on tour now and it’s absolutely dead as a dead man in a grave
Never known it so quiet I’ve covered my cost and a tiny profit and it’s an area where I normally do really well and have lots of regs
And I’m featured as well

But I remember last year in oct around the same dates
Similar area maybe and  I had my first ever tour where I lost money in 12 years of touring

I believe there's been political protests (Palestine war) in your area and that usually has people avoiding the Victoria/Westminster enclave. After a quiet October I've been busy since November started, I'm in the city (Farringdon area), but then from Beginning November to end of jan is my busiest time of the year. This weekend we have train and tube massive closures of all sorts so it's going to be quiet I believe.

The tubes are off for a few hours on Saturday partly because it's the Lord Mayor's Show (so Bank will be chaos, although Farringdon ought to be OK). They'll be back on from 3pm  :)

Really quiet, never known it to be so especially this time of the year. Have a few regulars but otherwise even my phone is quiet and not even timewasters. I'm thinking of just offering massage and hand relief at a low price, Maybe guy's are looking for a cheaper way to get off than the full works and cost. Really not worth me hiring apartments with it being so unpredictable and just to make a small profit.

Anybody found that price is the reason for less work?

Don’t put your price down. I have been offering massage only for two weeks due to a dental surgery I had (means I can’t kiss or do oral) and it’s can’t see a difference. I am low volume though and only see 3-4 people a day. I have notices it’s just new clients who will only ever book massage and don’t seek full service. Mahbe you could add massage option to your profile without getting rid of full service. X

Yes it has quietened down again, despite over 300 views of my profile yesterday it didn't result in 1 booking, did get 2 newbies today though.
The last was a 15 min quickie, I charge 50 and its hj/bj only, topless and no touching anywhere else.
It's quite popular, especially with younger guys, very quick and easy, most done and gone in 10 mins. I wish I could get 4 of those a day, no sex or fingering to aggravate me, I love it.

Actually I never got much interest for 15 minutes but I'd be happy with 4x 15 min a day and keeping my knickers on. I've also been getting 300+ views daily.

That is why I think our oldest profession of the world will collapse.

Not in a sense it will disappear but will go down to the level where it is no point any more.

Nope. The rest of European countries their economy has been growing and doing pretty well (despite the Ukranian war and energy crises), it's the UK that is doing the worst, we're actually the only country of the G7 that has a negative growth. Our economy is dire and our government seems to be doing a terrible job. This said: the oldest profession of the world will never disappear. It will go through changes in it's "business models" with the advent of technology, but it will never disappear.

Yes I'm getting quite a lot of last min cancellations too, way more than used to happen.
My gallery sales have pretty much ground to a halt too.
Maybe need to delete our free pics bar a cple so they aren't getting off for free  ;D
I mean what the hell are they doing on there if they're not booking and not buying private galleries/vids?

Are they logging into to camming? I thought maybe I'd try camming nut if they are not paying for videos and PG then would they pay to see me on cam. Honestly I don't know what more we can do, Put new pics on my profile and going to try and get the very old guys that just want a massage and HR.

Not sure about camming as I don't do that but makes me wonder when I'm getting 300 + views some days (usually when I change my profile pics) and still 0 bookings, they can't all dislike what they see lol.
I've been advertising massage with happy ending for a few weeks now but no takers  :-\   30 mins for £70 which I didn't think was overly expensive?
As you say Miss E, really don't know what else we can do.

I was speaking to my friend in retail and she said that now is when it goes crazy with people spending for Christmas. I think it's a case of money being tight and a luxury visit to us is now not priority over the pressure with everything costing more.

Not much we can do except wait for things to get better and I'm living like I don't know what money I'll be making next month so I'll cut back.

November last year was my best month ever but with 12 days of the month left I haven't even done half that figure this year, then last Dec was one of my worst months ever but I had a great Jan 2023.

GG it will continue to be up and down like it has for last year or 2. I don't see it ever going back to being more consistent for a longer period like it used to be. So yes a back up of something outside of this will be the way forward to have more a stable life.

I'm in Central London and I've noticed (since covid) people started working from home, my  clients who used to commute to London every day are now commuting here twice a week, so less opportunities to sneak for a couple hours. Clients I used to see 3 times a month I'm now seeing them once every couple of months. The "business travelling crowd" I had as solid regulars are now doing half of their meetings and conferences on teams/zoom and not coming to London anymore. Bloody digital age. All that money companies are saving on hiring venues and booking hotels for their executives. And yes, we're going through an actual recession on top. The economy has suffered a massive change since covid and depending on our business model it will affect more or less. At least the inflation is going down  ???

Yeah, that's what I thought. Speculation about what might possibly happen but hasn't (and from sources not even in the same country) is not fact, and it's spectacularly unhelpful to post as if it is.

The UK is not in recession, 'actual' or otherwise. It's a narrow term with a very specific meaning, the last time it almost happened (but didn't) was about a year ago, and the Bank of England are the people to ask.

I'm ticking over fine here (City of London near Bank) but I find it very all-or-nothing so I'm either doing four-five bookings a day or one (or none). I'm happy enough with that, but I wish I had a crystal ball so I knew which would be which.

I’m not too far away (Farringdon) and experiencing very similar: one day my phone is ringing a lot and I’ll get a bunch of bookings, next day I have to shake my phone to see if it’s broken. There’s really no logic pattern, but traditionally November December I’ve never had to “shake my phone to see if it’s broken”, this is the first time it happens and I’m just concerned about if it’s like this now how is the February-March-April (traditionally quiet for me) going to be? I’m just concerned And trying to figure out the economy twists and turns.

53 showing for that area oh my god. How is anyone going to earn with that much competition. I feel your pain made a big mistake travelled ages to a area that was full of cheapskate timewasters calling and came on a period so could not continue and left out of pocket and took 3 hours to get back home. Why do we bother sometimes.

A couple of friends and I have noticed the phone dead since the weekend, we have had reservations but not as many as before, we suspect it is because of Black Friday, since the streets have been full of people and everyone was taking advantage The sales.

I suspect that by December everything will improve.

I'd cry to with 3 days no bookings.  I'm definitely worried about next month. A slow day for me was 2 but now I can have a day with nothing and even the phone is quiet. Maybe it's more new girls touring in my area or just more ladies doing this or my profile is to old but seems its not just me.

Hi Lush and if you don't mind me asking are your hourly rates obove or below £150. I've gone down to £150 and it's made no difference from when I was £30 more.

Some busy women seem to be doing good but their prices are £50 for quickie, £70 or £80 half hour and 1hr £120 to £130. For me though with the cost of hotel prices and other expenses i just would not want to see lots of men to make say £300 to £500 plus the traffic coming through hotel around maids.

I also think prices from 180 down to 150 won't make much difference. Going down to £120 would make a big difference but i just cannot do it.

I live in the Midlands and charge £100. It used to be £120 but from June it went dead. A lot of men said their maximum for an hour is £100!

I think it really varies where you live to be honest. Even the really popular escorts here tend to just charge £130 an hour.

My half hr is £80 and 45 mins £90.

Quickies still £50. No anal in quickies.

I wd suggest doing a really good rate for say 45 mins see if that helps Miss Elvira? You could call it a Special Rate or whatever. Big it up so to speak.

This is just me personally but I would rather earn £50 or £70 online on a web cam than book a hotel and suck dick for it. So that will be my plan after Xmas. Get a day job and offer cam in the evenings. I may then come back to physical work in the summer time. I’m on day 2 in Heathrow still no bookings. It’s soul destroying.

I always aim to see six clients a week though so not high volume. As I work from home. It depends what you call busy.

I was thinking of aiming for eight a week though. Again many people will say that still isn't busy.

This is exactly how i feel and i am not knocking any women that start at £50, good for them still earning but i just cannot do services for that i would rather get a normal job that is why it is harder to make consistent money now days as less men pay higher. I had health problems that pushed me back into this business but i decided i am not happy in it anymore so training hard doing exams for a good career is the way forward for me and that is what i am doing. I chose a career where i could possibly work from home eventually so can manage my illnesses better.

To be honest though i don't book hotels that far in advance and trying to book the areas i usually do well in are expensive so i took a few risks of not suitable areas and that can fuck up earning potential. I had a good tour couple of weeks back though cleared £1500 after taking out my hotel costs, food, travel, adverts and my tax for HMRC.

I need to book more ahead but with messed up periods and illnesses i don't but i need to.

It’s crazy busy in north London. Consistently hitting my target daily. I think the guys are really treating themselves for Xmas.

What is busy for people though? My daily goal is £300 and I work every day. I only see two people a day for that or a 2 hr booking. I guess if it’s your touring it’s different .. I work where I live so lower costs, not really high volume and less pressure to be making a lot of money in a limited time Xx

To be honest that is a good business model. 2 clients for £300 and no hotel costs or travel. Do you work 5 days or 7 days? If i lived in a area that had enough business trade ( i live in a village) and could work from home that would be perfect. Less customers but still good amount by end of the week.

Sorry mixed up the quote Amy.

I’m £150 per hour but on the outskirts of north London but still near an underground station. I never thought I would be as busy as I am here, kinda risked it but I didn’t want to be in central. I think it you’re a good provider with feedback , quieter areas are actually better! There are less options where I am so I’ve built up more regulars than I ever have compared to central London. It depends on my mood but at the moment I’m doing 7 days a week. I try to do one in the morning and one in the evening so at least I have the rest of the day to do stuff. Or if I have energy I will them close to each other. I’m really lazy at the moment I’ve been working 6 years. I can only physically do two a day. I dunno how I did it at the beginning and used to see 5 a day before covid 😀🥹😅

It's fine and steady here in the Square Mile too, but then my rent and bills come to more than some people spend on hotels and I work four days a week/five max. Typically though, the one day I was available all day with no prior commitments (Tuesday) was shite and then yesterday when I was out at an event for most of the day and not available at all I had four of them wanting bloody bookings I couldn't do.

I blame myself for putting the AW twat magnet on on Tuesday, tbh.

Thanks lush, Like blossom I also have to pay out a £100 -120 a day before I make any profit. In this area most girls are £200 an hour. I have friends who whi is in the entertainment industry and she's struggled this year with less venues booking her.

I think it really varies where you live to be honest. Even the really popular escorts here tend to just charge £130 an hour.

Sorry to hear its so bad for you, I was also thinking of camming Jan and February but I've not done it before so it terrifies me more than actual meets. Like you, it's just sound destroying to pay out for a place to work and just have no work come in.

Seems very much like beginning of last month, plenty looking, around 350 views  a day, but all I had today was 1 x 30 min booking and a few gallery sales.
Quite a few emails, many from guys with 0 feedback which we all know usually end with 0 bookings.
Hopefully will pick up later in the month like November did.
Even the regs seem to have gone quiet, pretty shit really.

This for sure. So many entitled guys about that even now at 9am I’m ready to throw my phone out the window. Some of my regs are still around but some have fallen off the face of the planet. I used to get a lot of longer bookings - 90 mins, 2 hours. Now everyone seems to want half hour which is fine but they expect everything they would usually do in the longer booking crammed in. They also expect me to be available last minute more. One even told me the other day that he knows girls are quiet right now because he can get last minute bookings easily now whereas before he couldn’t

Thank god for decent regs!  I have 6 possibly 7 and although they don't know it they are somewhat precious to me.  Some time back I decided to cut right back on newbies and manage to see only 3 or 4 a week on average.   Hopefully in the near future I will be able to stop all randoms altogether.

Going back 12 years I couldn't have worked this way but my decision to forward plan was the best one I could have ever made.

Yes, I had one recently, only booked 30 mins but then sent numerous texts asking for this that and the other, very specific dress requests then wanted me to list available outfits. Another, 30 mins again, asking for face pics which my profile states will not be sent.
Probably think we'll be prepared to jump through more hoops if it's quiet .... Nope ..can't be arsed with those types.

Monday was busy for me. My quality of clients is good but then my rates are on the higher end for Glasgow. I get less timewasters but annoyingingly I have noticed a new trend in clients booking then ghosting on me. It's frustrating and I do ask them all to confirm 1 hour before. Perhaps they just decide at the last minute they would prefer to spend their money elsewhere. Perfectly fine but a simple can't make it Emily sorry would be appreciated.
I'm sure we will all experience a Christmas rush. Girls if at all possible depending on your Christmas plans try to be available as much as possible between 21st until 1st. If you aren't very busy put a Christmas time special up to entice guys.

My week's going OK, but God the idiots are out in force and I had three not awful but a bit crap bookings in a row yesterday (two of them left early, so I suspect they weren't that thrilled either).

I'm starting to get the ones trying to push their luck now with work hours and services now too, since they know it's coming up to Christmas and they assume we're all so desperate for their bloody cash that we'll agree to anything ::)

I get it every year at this time when I am stressed or overwork. I can only do 2 people normally. I think I’ll need a day off today.

So do I; I'd rather not talk to them at all, but I won't text my full address and I need to talk them to my building so they don't wander off or fuck up the entry buzzer.

I had an OK day which surprised me since it was like the bloody apocalypse outside from late morning onwards. It was so dark I thought I'd have to pull the blinds at 1.30pm when my booking arrived so I could put the lights on.

Had two great days with fully booked 3 days and I have turned down bookings, I wish this was the norm. Awlful weather out but still I got 5  bookings today and mostly been AW bookings, Few new but regulars now also booking after not seeing them for months.

Haha your funny. I am surprised how many have the phone on early because it used to be mostly 11am start but i think it definately can benefit for some areas and men wanting earlier. Hope you did ok in the end though.

Last two days I met my target. Today I didn’t. If I don’t put ‘available today’ on by 11am I don’t seem to get booking requests. Weird as some people don’t even need to use it to get bookings!

Makes you wonder what they have to hide, really don't understand it.

Conversely I only take bookings by text and I get them trying to call; I can see at least a dozen attempts just from today. I don't think they have anything to hide so much as being either at home/work so can't talk, or just good old fashioned stupid ::)

The stupid is strong here today, but then I did book the AT green thing so I wasn't expecting any different. I earned more yesterday without it, but I'd already paid for it to save me having to log in so I was lumbered  :(

Yes we all work differently and usually have our reasons for our preferences.
As you've mentioned before Amy, you seem to get a better class of client, professional business types so not much trouble where as I like to hear their voice as I feel you can get a gut feeling about someone from a conversation, helps me avoid the gangsta speak types or those that sound just plain weird, creepy, totally ancient ( whistling through their dentures as they speak) and the guys who have a limited command of English and are totally indescreet in their attemps to follow my directions once nearby.
As for the can't speak as in work, with someone etc, I don't feel that's legitimate. One guy texted before 8am saying he'd be in the area for work, asked him to call but he never did, I can't  believe there wasn't a few mins in the following 10 hours before I'd packed up for the day that he wasn't alone and able to call and that's just one example.
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Mirror on 21 December 2023, 06:19:49 am
I don't mind text BUT if a person says they can only text due to being in work, company I expect them to provide information succinctly and with thought. This hardly ever happens and a long conversation ensues back and forth, if they are at work or with friends they will not be paying attention to whatever they are supposed to be doing.

Anyhow this week has been quiet in some respects, plus cancellations but I've worked very hard this year. I am low volume, and combine telephone chat, webcam, video making, erotic emails as well as another business I run filling my time most days 7 days a week. The cancels although I was prepared to accept other bookings gave me time to get back into the phone chat and can which has been great (wasn't sure if it was time to cease that because I've been so busy elsewhere but it isn't). I now have food feedback on a platform I want to do well on. I do actively market myself across social media and website, don't limit myself to AW. Videos sell sell when I'm doing other things but has taken a lot of effort, learning editing skills, paying for software to edit as well as send, time uploading to platforms or sending to clients.

There is a definite pattern this week of TW contacting me, and others generally being flaky. Eg someone returning to the area wanted to go on my cancellation list, I asked for their availability they said any day any time. I gave them the following day, no they aren't available,  I gave them dates next week, umm I'll have to check my schedule. ::) :FF

This is someone who had said I need to be more helpful with new enquiries.

Anyway I have enough to keep my income at a good level this week (more than enough) and can use the time to wrap presents, and have a personal life. Last Christmas i was hectic week before and had to have a manic wrapping presents Christmas eve night, but it is strange because I'm usually 'on the go". Also enjoyed doing Christmas specials for my regulars this week.

Absolutely - I get nothing from a phone conversation that I can't from a text (the weird creepy ones send weird creepy texts!) and it's a bonus to me that I can just bin stupid texts and don't have to speak to the numpties, but that's partly because I'm deaf and struggle on the phone so it's important to me to have a clear written record of exactly what has been agreed. And I've never had a civvy job where I could freely make personal phone calls.

I don't think the punters I see are a better 'class' (and I don't mind the youngsters with their daft gangsta stuff), but I do think a key difference with central London and the City specifically is that people are busy and have places to be, so most just want to get on with it and have better things to do than mess us about. It's a massive generalisation, but after almost sixteen years of working here that's something the majority have in common so the tyrekickers with too much time on their hands are largely absent. I'm fortunate, I know.

As for this week I'm supposedly working today but I've pretty much mentally checked out for Christmas, so while I'll see what happens I suspect I'll be quietly sacking it. Being able to take my number off AW for a week can't come soon enough :D

I notice a 'can do' attitude with London punters, they aren't faffing about getting to the booking but transport is easier.

I only do AW email, Text or WhatsApp and I find it easy to suss them out thus way. The knes that keep pestering me to talk on the phone I know are just wanting to timewaste and take up my time.

Last two weeks I have been so busy that I was exhausted and turned away work because I physically couldn't do lore than 5 a day which is pushing it really but with this year being so unpredictable I just pushed through. Now off for a few weeks and need it tbh. I had a mix if regulars and new guys, I did add dace pics to my PG and changed my hair to strawberry blonde and loads of new pictures.

Seems like this year started off on the wrong foot for me.

But all the other places are places I go to regularly

But I don’t know how being quite in this area much  is because I haven’t been here before so have no regs

I’m really really  tired - I actually left my keys with my car key in my room doorlast night

Got the big knock on the door from reception thinking they were kicking me out but it was just to tell me my keys were in the door 😂😂

If I remember correctly last year was the same first two weeks in January were good then it goes quiet. Think as they haven’t been paid since Xmas time and bills due.
I’m due to go on tour at weekend I’m not expecting it to be busy but I hope it’s steady but i don’t have much faith.

January of last year was my best month of the year but this year not great at all.
Monday was busy weirdly as it's usually a waste of time, had 3 bookings and had to turn 1 away because of clashing times, since then nothing.
Had a reg from a few yrs back go rogue yesterday, booked the night before then didn't show up.
Profile views are well down as are calls/messages. Maybe they're just all skint.

Plenty of messages asking if I'm available this day and that, I reply to say I am .... then they just disappear.

But today the phone isn’t even ringing or no texts..
at least yesterday it was ringing a little bit.

It’s deathly quiet.. I thought it was just because I’ve set up a new profile but think it’s just the way this weekend is going. I hope tomorrow gets busier I’m on tour I’m still not in profit

Totally agree with getting older I only prefer to see max 1 or 2 clients, if was working I only do it now and again not like how I use too

I've had the worst last two days in London with all the train strikes, it felt like lockdown all over again. I had to shake my phone to make sure it was working. Bloody transport strikes they really kill business.

I have had so many cancellations this week. They book and cancel the next day citing delayed flights, cancelled business trips, waking up with a cold. I know it might be true but i had 4-5 of these in a week, and i am low volume and rarely any cancellations ever so it’s all a bit annoying.

Time of year, everyone skint after xmas, paying credit card, paid thier tax (self employed people) plus you have all the train strikes so punters can't get to you as easily.

I am not sure when payday is but hopefully things improve then

Super busy January until the last week when I got not even one client on tour. That has never happened before.
I’m having to work from home.
This industry just isn’t what it used to be. It’s more erratic than ever. You have a really busy tour then a quiet one followed by an average one. The unpredictability and increased hotel prices means I’m looking for a new job.
Driving round the UK is exhausting as well.
I’m hoping to keep escorting part time once I get a job but will have to wait and see. I’ve been in the job for 10 years.

The strikes and train cancellations are really hitting me hard. Being in Central London I have more people cancel last minute because they can't get in and way too many days that it's extremely difficult for me to get in and out as well and when I do make it I'm already fried from the commute.  Aside from strikes every day there are cancellations and multi hour delays because of weather, faulty tracks, lack of train staff, signal failures, trespassing on the lines or whatever other excuses they're using. I know other hospitality businesses are getting hit by it as well.

I'm hoping it starts getting better soon , it's been a tough start to the year

Emails on AW from timewasters who refuse to give their phone number and ghosting. Its becoming a major problem. There never used to be this many timewasters.

I did six yesterday (and turned more down) and now the opposite today; even the two I had booked in didn't confirm, although one of them I wasn't expecting to anyway. I'm so knackered I'm not bothered tbh.

Are the London people finding a lot of timewasters only advertising on AW, just out of interest? I've had more from the likes of London Escort Guide and Massage Republic this week and the usual tidal wave of shite from AW bar two from there yesterday 🤔

When I was last paid monthly (admittedly in about 2003 :D), payday was the final working day of the month, which would be next Wednesday since there's a February 29th this year. The job before that it was every month on the 15th, and when I was paid weekly it was Friday lunchtime or Thursday afternoon.

In other words, even in the event that many punters are living so hand to mouth that it makes any difference, there's no fixed day that applies to everyone.

I’ve been getting 5 calls a day
Today I’m featuring and 0 calls
I’ve been go 3 different locations on tour all same response
I’ve got 3 feedback

I don't think professional pictures are going to be a big help on Adultwork, although it does depend how you market yourself. Are you planning to advertise anywhere else?

If not, I find that regularly changing the main profile picture helps (I just take a selfie with my phone and stick that up - it also means I can keep my better pictures for other ads since that one can't be used elsewhere), and I also copypaste my blog onto there so you could try writing one? Everybody is different, but that definitely helps me :)

Thank you amy. I’m going to put some selfies up on my profile
I’ve put a ad up on Vivastreet too.
I am hoping to get a website done too.

Thank you  :)

AW is dead, My gallery and video sales are non existence and I normally make £400 average a month gallery and videos sales but last 4 weeks £40 only. I'm busy with regulars but not so much new AW bookings, also so many more girls are touring to where I am in Brentwood so it's saturated where I am. I'm lucky I get so much work because my profile is very much Girlfriend Experience and I doubt I get the super horny guys with my tame gallery pictures.

I rely on my profile being read and taking the fancy of the guys that want a no rush sensual Girlfriend experience and plan and book in advance.

I'm working less, Spending less and wish I had a crystal ball to see which weeks will be busy and which dead.

No I did not screen shot previous feedback or anything like that. My new profile is with a a new name and new pictures and different pricing and it’s been very quiet starting up again


When I deleted my profile I did the same as KK did and screen shot my feedback and reviews and made sure they are the first few photos clients see in my free gallery

I did a feedback tab where I copied and pasted my old feedback and explained that they could check my previous feedback blah blah and I have written that on every tab

I have 1 feedback and even before I got that I was still doing exactly the same amount of work as before .

But I remember that a friend of mine started a completely new profile about a 18months ago and it was completely different to her old previous profile and she changed her hair from blonde to red  and it took a while for her to get busy as her old regular clients didn’t know it was her
Once they did they she was as busy as ever

She’s just started a new profile and did the same as myself & KK - screenshooting reviews / feedback keeping the same name/ profile text  and she is still very busy

So it’s probably the fact that the clients think you are new

I took a short break deleted my old profile and started a new profile

Since I have returned work is so slow I got some professional photos done which made no difference
I’ve been getting 5 calls a day
Today I’m featuring and 0 calls
I’ve been go 3 different locations on tour all same response
I’ve got 3 feedback

I can’t remember years ago if it was this slow starting out or is it just the time of the month? I’m really worried at everything I’m doing I’m getting absolutely nothing back.

How long were you off for
Is your profile completely different to your old one
Have any of your old regs found you or don’t know it’s you

 the problem my friend had was that because she changed absolutely everything when she started a new profile it took maybe 4 months or more to get her old regs back


Did you do It to get rid of your old “ you “ and you don’t want to see old clients

Been on tour for 3 days in Chester,  Friday evening was an absolute waste of time, just 1 look and go  ::) however Saturday, Sunday and Monday we're good, steady enquiries and good solid bookings, made just over target each day, admittedly I have a few regs here now so that almost guarantees I at least break even but given the financial climate and the fickle nature of this work atm I was pleasantly surprised

I’m very low volume and have had to turn clients away this month. I’m also really pleasantly surprised as I live in a sparsely populated area outside of tourist season and I usually find this time of year to be very quiet for me.

My aw is also dead, I have 6 credits left, normally was always 100+ So I will soon have to pay to display my phone number which I never used to have to do… seeing mostly regulars, one or two new clients per week… January and February have been awful this year for me.

January was dreadful for me too but thankfully despite a dip in the middle of the month Feb has turned out pretty decent and have reached my target.
I noticed my gallery sales dropping although I often found that using AT did increase gallery sales slightly but also increased  the number of timewasters and didn't necessarily increase bookings so I've decided not to use AT and just use my credits to display my number in an attempt to conserve them.
I'm hoping now we're almost out of the first 2 gloomy months of the year things will begin to pick up and on more of an even keel.

Do you think O Fans is where guy's are looking. When I first started Escorting I didn't even know about AW until 3 months in and used Viva. Also there is Admire me which is a platform that's ok with sexworkers selling gallery and videos. Since covid guy's may have moved to online and once they have itched the itch they don't want to venture out. Just like people got used to working from home and prefer that to the effort of leaving home. I wonder if things in the sex industry are changing with technology, Not that men won't want to see a escort just that the generation below the 40+ are to lazy and introverted to book a escort.

I get men 40+ and hardly any younger and I advertise as 38 but I'm 43 this year.

I keep toying with the idea if OF or Admireme but it's effort and I'm not sure if it's worth it. Escorting takes up my spare time anyway.

I used admire me in the past, preferred it to of as you dont need to promote your content like of. So I would use that,fansly and reveal me to make a bit of passive income. I have no social media presence so In the long run in person sw is less effort and more lucrative for me.

I'm in central London, I'm usually busy, but right now I'm very quiet which is normal because it's end of February. The only reason I'm not panicking is because February is the quietest month of the year for me, plus it's end of the month. This February is quieter than last.

In Oxford, there is some variety but mostly white men in their 40s-70s in relatively decent shape for their age. Can be quite very generous and if you work the booking right can be willing to extend. Will get a lot of requests for kink/femdom experiences.

Let's be honest , there is definitely change happening . I returned from heathrow this weekend and it was awful.

A very small profit, didn't get many enquiries had a few people and that was 3 regulars ?

Several factors are happening , the economy , fear of recession , many more people in the industry too.

Ramadan is coming up from the 10th March to the 9th April which is always a slow time for me (as i do get Pakistani men in the north )
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: fallen angel on 05 March 2024, 09:50:14 pm
I am finding that a number of my long time regs are just becoming less regular, though the onset of medical issues in some of the older guys resulting in performance problems does seem to be a major factor.
 I just need a new influx of slightly younger and overall healthier, horny guys to replace them  ;D
Saying that yesterday I did have a cple of newbies and a returnee who I hadn't seen in quite some time and 2 of those were in there 30's so I live in hope!

There are less clients now. There are less men available to punt.  Alot of men are suffering from "died suddenly effects" or sudden adult death syndrome, which can range,  from blood clots, heart attacks, brain aneurisms, or turbo cancer. I said this 3 years ago. However 2022 is when alot of people on here starting complaining of less customers........that is the reason. Less men. However I was accused of being a conspiracy theorist.

I have one job today of someone who was desperate to see me. I asked him to book the hotel and would do an outcall for an Incall rate. Luckily he agreed. So I won’t have to pay for a working place today thank god.

I’m finding I have to be a bit more savvy these days. For me to book a hotel at the moment either need a deposit or longer booking with a deposit as cannot guarantee the work.

I do not have the funds to be booking hotels with no shows right now and I’m explaining this to my clients so they understand it’s very difficult for some of us with the cost of living crisis and economy.

For years I was turning work away and could be very choosy with who I saw. I feel like I’m having to see guys I don’t particularly want to now just to make ends meet. The thought of going back to a shitty office job with long hours earning 1.5k per month fills me with absolute dread but if I start racking up debt doing this then it totally defeats the purpose. I got into this line of work to ensure I had a good quality of life and wouldn’t get into debt

The price of hotels is fucking up my profit royally I honestly don't know why it's still like this it's been like this for two years also why don't there seem to be any reports of this in the news I can't understand how anyone can afford to stay at a hotel anymore. Even the shitty budget option hotels in London can be charging £150-£200 on a weekday for a room now it's absolutely ridiculous. I cant understand whose actually paying these prices I've seen shitty easyhotel rooms with no windows going for up to £200 a night like whose paying that much for those crappy options those rooms used to be like £26-£36.

I might need to look at getting a flat soon I can't afford to be staying at hotels anymore it's far too expensive.

Today is slow, Never bothering with viva St again just TW. Had a guy sending me his face pics snd asking for me to send him one, So I'm not bothering to see him. Yesterday some TW pretending that he was messaging me on AW so I could see His feedback, He was not just absolute TW. Lots of people I've seen asking when I'm available but not getting back to me. I've made some profit so not out of pocket but definitely not worth 5 days of sitting about and having so many TW to go through.

A client today did say that his mates in the building trade are quiet, I guess money is being held on to more.

All new ads attract timewasters - it takes time to block them all (like everybody else on the site has already) and settle into the genuine punters. Vivastreet is like the newspaper ads used to be, in my experience at least (so lots of daft calls/texts to plough through but the actual punters are lovely).

Well that's why I got my flat just over four years ago, and here I am :)

It would need to be the slowest news day ever for 'hotels in London are expensive' to make any sort of headline, to be fair.

Unfornately I just think so many ladies are now doing this job. And not just escorting, webcamming, onlyfans etc.

So clients money is being spent on webcamming and Onlyfans etc (when they can't afford as many physical bookings).

And as so much choice your getting clients book you, then choose another escort coz they are cheaper or whatever reason and don't bother letting you know and don't show up.

You also have the addition of the cost of living, a recession so less money around and on top of that expensive hotels and travelling costs. And more laides coming into profession due to cost of living crises.

I'm still earning my money, have quiet days here and there but also finding more no shows, less reliable regs. I used to be solid booked up front on tours now I maybe get 1 or 2 regs all tour and all rest new ones. And my quality of service hasn't gone down. I think regs got so much choice now of new touring escorts in the area.

But you really have to invest time and money constantly into your brand.

For example I regularly do new professional pics every few months, offer a range of services from gfe, fetish and roleplay, blog frequently and use all the featured advertising on escort directories and platforms to stay above competition and have a website. It's alot of work!

It used to be so easy before, just create your profile, throw a few pics up and you were busy all the time. And I used to get my pictures done once a year.

Now ladies have to do combinational of onlyfans, webcamming and escorting. I know some ladies work indie and agency as well and other ladies now have a regular job just to cover bills and escort on the side.

If you're slow all the time , you really need to analyse your advertising, get new photos, see what your rates are against competition or if touring seek areas with less competition.

It's alot of work to make decent money nowadays.

Agreed, there is often an initial high when you enter into the profession and get all the local hobbyists etc but after a few years you have to treat the job like any other provider of an expensive entertainment service, and put in a lot of work to keep ticking.

I think a major problem is the amount of fake and spam profiles. I know there's always been fake profiles but now on every single site, even the reputable ones it's just full of them. I think clients are tired of being scammed and aren't bothering. AW neex to really crack down because its destroying our business.  If I see anither 'new party girl in town!' profile I'll scream.  I know this thread is popular and everyone has quiet times but this feels very different. I was busier during covid than now. Its literally like clients have fallen off the face of the earth.

And hotel costs! One week its affordable, the next it's over £1k for a week- and theres no special events on either.

If you paid for featuring ( the one where you bid )
Your better of searching for yourself on the desktop

Your profile should be at the top of the page for say North West above other ladies and then say you were in Manchester you would be at the top the North West Manchester page

On the app you it’s more difficult to see
And the featured escort page changes so your not always on that bit

I’m based in Liverpool City Centre and always find it slow here for clients during the week. Weekends are generally much more promising but midweek here is usually dire. It’s probably as Liverpool now has a reputation as a ‘party city’ especially in the city centre. There’s just not the same level of business men here during the week as there is in other nearby cities like Manchester. It could also be that I’m more busy on Saturday nights here as I’m trans, so men are more likely to find the courage to want to try something ‘different’ at night time on the weekend. I also find scouse men a lot more nervous about seeing me as a trans woman than men in other cities, possibly due to the heteronormative, masculine culture here amongst ‘scally’ men. I generally find I do much better on tour being the new girl in town but I still find that I can make more profit at home due to most of my money on tour going on hotels and touring expenses. I’m generally busier when I come back to Liverpool after being on tour. I was just wondering if anyone else on here who either is based in Liverpool / the north west or has toured here has found Liverpool to be not very reliable for clients during the week and lots of time wasters? There is a big influx of Brazilian trans escorts here at the moment but they probably won’t last here for long once they realise there just isn’t enough work here for all of us. I know Liverpool isn’t the most wealthy of cities but neither is Birmingham and iv found I do much better in Birmingham than Liverpool as I’m particularly popular with the Asian men there but I wouldn’t tour there during Ramadan as I did that last year and it wasn’t good. Iv also been escorting in Liverpool for 5 years now and always find I’m more popular here when I get back from a tour as the scarcity seems to increase client interest. Once tourist season gets under way I should start doing better here but it’s just quite annoying how quiet it can be here.

Yes it’s strange I wonder why Liverpool is that way? The market here is quite saturated but Manchester’s market is even more saturated and I did better there. Iv found I also do better in Chester. That’s surprising that Birkenhead is busier than Liverpool as I would have thought that most punters on the Wirral would commute to Liverpool city centre. As iv had quite a few clients travel to me from the Wirral for in-call’s. I might have to try Birkenhead then! Even though there aren’t many big chain hotels there either. Iv done quite a few Outcall’s to the Wallasey area and the West of the Wirral but never to Birkenhead as I don’t really think it’s affluent enough to have the demand for that kind of service unlike those other places on the Wirral I mentioned.

There is also a stereotype of scousers being quite tight with their money so perhaps that’s also another reason why they aren’t as willing to spend their money on our services.

I also recognise that what I offer is quite a niche gap in the market and Liverpool isn’t that big so I may have simply exhausted most of the local client base! Bring on tourist season! 🤣

Gigantic blocks of unbroken text are not the same as 'long paragraphs', which would be a paragraph longer than around two hundred words; like posting in all capitals (which is against the rules here) they make it more difficult for others to read the posts. This in turn means that you're likely to get fewer useful replies. HTH :)

I worked in Liverpool city centre twice albeit a long time ago, and found it terrible for timewasters, although the genuine punters were lovely which is why I went back. This was over ten years ago though, so you would hope things had improved a bit.

Have you thought about Belfast? The timewasters there are beyond horrendous, but if you've had practice at spotting them that ought to cut it back a fair bit and TS providers always used to do well there. It's a very short flight from Liverpool (as is the Isle of Man, which is also worth a shot if you haven't tried it)?

I understand. I just wanted to get my points across and it was my first time ever posting on here. At least I know that for future. I find this form very useful to read for tips on escorting. I’m glad I found it through Reddit. Im also on a mobile rather than a laptop.

Yeah it can be awful here for time wasters. I try asking most clients for a £20 deposit before meeting them for in calls but 90% of the time the response I get is “I only have cash” or “I have a joint bank account” or “I want to be discrete” so that doesn’t usually work. So sometimes I even ask them to arrive, pay the £20 deposit in cash and wait while I get ready (but not in my apartment!) 🤣 I just can’t deal with spending a long time getting ready for no shows. On days I know I’m going to be busy though or when I’m already ready I just don’t bother getting a deposit. But I wouldn’t do an Outcall without at least a £50 deposit as I don’t drive so rely on taxis / Uber.

Yes the genuine punters here are lovely and I feel a lot safer here than in some other cities I have toured. However, some of the punters here can expect too much for their money, especially since the cost of living has gone up and I don’t like that.

I actually get a lot of Irish clients here in Liverpool as a lot of Irish men who come here, feel more confident to see a TS escort on the big island than they would on their smaller island! Almost as if they are living a double life. I find Irish clients can be very lucrative. I was expecting this St Patrick’s day to be busier though but I didn’t even see one Irish client in Liverpool this St Patrick’s weekend which is unusual. Possibly as it fell on a Sunday and Sunday day time is generally always quiet for me in Liverpool.

I’d love to try Belfast. Iv done very well in Scotland in the past as well as Scotland is slightly more progressive for trans people than England. The only thing putting me off Belfast was having to get a flight there and not being able to drive or get a train and also because it’s not as affluent as nearby Dublin even though Dublin is much more expensive for hotels so that would probably balance things out more. The Isle of Man also definitely sounds worthwhile since it has a good economy and is not far at all.

I've been doing this for many years and for myself I have found a pattern... for context I am south asian and based in the city of London Monday-Thursday and Birmingham on Fridays. I also use to be very active in Heathrow but since covid it hasn't been busy anymore so I have stopped going.

I find the third week of the month is the quietest week for me.... I think because its a week before payday.

When it rains it is also very quiet - clients do not like to come out in the rain but even if they drive they still do not come out lol you would think it's only a bit of water and it isn't going to harm them but I've honestly never been busy on rainy days which sucks as half the year in England rains! let me know if any of you girlies still get work during rainy days.

It is also very quiet during school holidays no matter where I am - so I believe it will be a busy week W/C 25/03/2024 but once school holidays start on Friday it won't pick up til mid April when it ends.

All I can do is try my best to take holidays/rest days during these quiet times. It gives me a lot of anxiety though when it suddenly rains as English weather is so unpredictable.

It really sucks though... it is just so unpredictable now, I have had to get professional photos done which are VERY expensive every 6 months, whereas before covid a few phone selfies would get me loads of work!!!

Yeah, I rarely have a really bad week but this last one was shite. I've found that a crap week normally follows a busy one though and the week before was good.

I think that depends on where you were planning to go, but bear in mind it's also Ramadan and scbool holidays so like a holy trinity of nosebleed hotel prices  :-\

Really really weird for me, I've been dead for the last few weeks  one week I didn't even make my rent (which has never happened), this week I'm virtually fully booked with prebookings (I don't get many prebooks, probably 1-2 a week max), so God knows what's going on!! Central London

Same here, I've just booked a photoshoot hoping it will increase bookings. The weather definitely makes a difference. I think in Central London because everyone is on such a tight schedule any little thing can make a difference x

I've been doing this for many years and for myself I have found a pattern... for context I am south asian and based in the city of London Monday-Thursday and Birmingham on Fridays. I also use to be very active in Heathrow but since covid it hasn't been busy anymore so I have stopped going.

I find the third week of the month is the quietest week for me.... I think because its a week before payday.

When it rains it is also very quiet - clients do not like to come out in the rain but even if they drive they still do not come out lol you would think it's only a bit of water and it isn't going to harm them but I've honestly never been busy on rainy days which sucks as half the year in England rains! let me know if any of you girlies still get work during rainy days.

It is also very quiet during school holidays no matter where I am - so I believe it will be a busy week W/C 25/03/2024 but once school holidays start on Friday it won't pick up til mid April when it ends.

All I can do is try my best to take holidays/rest days during these quiet times. It gives me a lot of anxiety though when it suddenly rains as English weather is so unpredictable.

It really sucks though... it is just so unpredictable now, I have had to get professional photos done which are VERY expensive every 6 months, whereas before covid a few phone selfies would get me loads of work!!!

Same here.
Shocked by how quiet it has been.
Reassessing life choices!
I have a few booking for the future - but that is normal for me to have bookings in advance.

They still might cancel.
I remember when they never used to cancel.

Post by: Lucia__S on 28 March 2024, 08:08:09 am
I definitely noticed a dip around this time last year but still was getting an average of 3 bookings a day and before that I was quite literally booked up 1-2 weeks in advance it was hard for people to get a booking with me especially for same day appointments, but now! I’m having days where I get nothing at all, I’m earning less than half of my earnings a week and even to get 2x 1 hour appointments would be a good day for me now whereas before that would be a very rubbish day. I don’t see the industry getting back to its old ways again and the shift is our new norm now. I hope we can all get used to the change, I think it’s the boredom and loneliness now that drives me more insane than anything
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Florence_Rose on 28 March 2024, 08:31:18 am
I agree Lucia it’s the boredom that drives me mad! I’m currently in a hotel, had a slow day yesterday although it was better than staying home to work but my god was I bored out of my mind. I think the days where we flicked our green light on and the phone didn’t stop ringing, could have been back to back all day are long gone. I do have the odd day like that but it’s very far a few between. Luckily I have a good amount of long term regulars that keep me ticking over.
I am thinking about doing something else part time, 1) for the consistent income 2) to help the boredom!
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: AmelieC on 28 March 2024, 09:49:34 am
Bored for me too. Monday completly died, Tuesday 4 booking, yesterday only two. It s up and down. but not busy like before. I hope after 15 th April things become better .
Title: Re: Slow at the minute or just me?
Post by: Sammy13 on 28 March 2024, 10:05:32 am
If it stays like this would a lot of you have to look for alternative income? I’m thinking I’ll give it 6 more weeks and will then have to look for at least a part time job to ensure I can always pay my bills each month. When I first started doing this back in 2006 I would have 8 bookings per day easily if I wanted them

Yes, busy here too; thankfully my last booking cancelled because I was knackered - I only took it because of the long weekend, but I was relieved.

One good week + one shit week last week makes two OK weeks, I suppose. And four days off now :D

I seem to follow this pattern, too, Amy. Swings and roundabouts. Although I'd say about 80% of my clients are returnees and regs. This is why I worry if I did have to take time out for whatever reason I'd lose my base income and when I started again it would take me aaaaaages to build back up.

Girls I hit Oxford for the Easter weekend with very low expectations. I have to say it’s been brilliant. I’ve been making a profit of £600 a day. Who would have thought it. After a really terrible time recently I’m finally on the up.

Yes very quiet this week although admittedly I haven't put much effort in as Easter is usually rubbish with people going away and kids off school.
Decided to get some jobs done around the house so at least I've been productive and hopefully after next week things will pick up again as I had a really good March and definitely felt like a change was in the air.

I do occasionally. I find using it on a Monday just ramps up the amount of timewasters and when it seems to be generally quiet everywhere it doesn't really improve things.
I'm wondering if everyone is just spent up from Easter breaks etc and are waiting for the next pay day.

One 30 minute booking since Monday.  I've updated photos, reduced prices and extended working hours. All I've had are text pests.

I'm having a busy few days, but God it's painful.
 
I've been asked my location three times this morning and whether I'm working today twice, all from AW users (they always say 'profile' rather than 'site' or 'ad'). My location is on the top line in bold capital letters, I have the available today on and my working hours/days are on a tab that says 'Incall Hours'.

I don't know how much of it is down to them being forced onto the shitty new site which is apparently impossible to find any information on, and how much is them just being lazy fuckwits who can't be bothered to look.

I have it in capitals across the top of my profile that I am indeed available today and todays date. Just underneath is the timeframe within which I am working and the first text this morning was
"Are you free today"    :FF

I do sometimes wonder if their wording is hoping to catch me out and if I reply yes they will then turn up with no money and argue that I said I was free today.
But that might just be my suspicious nature   ;D

I use it begrudgingly, because I noticed I get less enquiries without it  . However I'm looking to see which other website would be better for spending my money on featured adverts. I already have loads of free advert listings on different sites, I'm thinking of testing adultseek, massage republic and aphroditelounge featured ads. However aphroditelounge doesn't reply to messages,  regarding features and costs,  there are no price lists, which is a shame. So adultseek seems promising.  I will have to check.

I work most days. I notice I'm dead without the AW features unfortunately. Trying to change this by experimenting with my advertising on other sites. May have to tour once in a while, maybe.
