I do think that going cheap can attract the wrong attitudes. I don't mean that people with less discretionary cash are bad - only that if you are cheaper than other people, some clients may assume things about you.

You may need to rebrand entirely. New photos, name change, overhaul your profile so that you look like something new and more expensive.

Agree with this. I also agree with the person who said discerning gents will sidestep someone at 100 per hour. You need to realise you are your product/brand.
Totally forget about the others on the same page. Waitrose and M&S don't worry about what aldi is charging.

I agree with you and Veggiegirl.  Is ?100 an inclusive price (it includes anal)?  Do you charge extra?

Loads of ladies say they charge under or around ?100 per hour to get the "under ?100 bracket" in the search but guys pay a lot more than that as they charge extra for everything.

It was quite scary not having any calls. I?m usually overloaded with calls when I turn my phone on after a day or two but I?ve had not one. I have bills to pay so I don?t think the price change is right for me at the moment. I can?t stick with it or I?ll nevet make any money  :'(

If I was you I would keep my current increased price and just run a Christmas offer at your old prices.
I would put in the Summary something along the line: Christmas offer: xx for 30 minutes and xxx for one hour
and in the main text you can put more details, like for example: Reduced Christmas rates until the end of the year, or until January, etc.

Also you could try offering a discount for bookings made through aw, for example ?10 off for 30 mins and ?20 off for one hour.

Good luck :) xxx

I still do not think the no calls are to do with a small increase sure a few might moan but over all it is probably quiet.

Sounds stupid but if you have had no calls have you checked your number is actually showing on your profile 😂

Zone 2 in London?! 100/hour is ridiculously cheap. Even 120 is very cheap.

Try this: up your hour to 150, keep your half hour around 80.

You are attracting the cheap clients, and they're not always the nicest (hence the fake feedback.) (There's also plenty of nasty clients at higher prices!)

Pay for featuring on AW because otherwise you're just not going to get found. Use Backpage as well. Viva might be worth a try if you're prepared to battle through their insane rules and lack of customer service.

Ha! I tell you what, I may as well have. I had five missed calls instantly when I put the prices back down.

Viva street was a nightmare for me, I might attempt backpage and a few other places. Trying to catch a featured profile at 00.00 hours but Im never quick enough!! ;D

It does feel wrong being at a lower price, I know I shouldn?t be there. I just don?t know if I can afford to be so quiet.

If you want to send me your profile link I'd be happy to take a look. I'm in my forties and fat and still get 150/hour in London.

I used to work in Brighton which has a lot of parlours so I set my hour at 120 to compete. I'd go to London on the same price and be really quiet. London guys definitely view low prices with suspicion!

Yet I?m in the same age bracket but I?ve given up on London because the overheads are too much, I was charging ?160 ph and after my first tour was dead, just not worth it for me.

I think it?s worth mentioning that living in an area versus touring means you have to look at things somewhat differently as you have to survive not just make X amount in X days.

I do agree that guys look with suspicion at low prices.  However the prices have been driven down so much in London and other big cities because of over saturation, so whilst some ladies somehow manage with charging so called elite prices (?200 ph and above) the majority cannot, and if you are living in a place full time you may not be able to get away with charging ?150 or even ?120.

 ???Well it's def the price 😂 If you put it back down and it starts ringing

One way around this is that I used to run a special offer of an hour at ?100 between 10-4pm/ 5pm

As long as your clear that it's only between these times it works pretty well.

If anyone wants to book after that time you can offer them 45 mins at ?100 or the price of ?120

Also I'm happy to look at your profile as well if you think it might help

Er, I work in London every month and am very busy at ?120 per hour. I haven't had a shit tour there in almost ten years, so they're obviously not 'suspicious' of me?

Agree with this. I also agree with the person who said discerning gents will sidestep someone at 100 per hour. You need to realise you are your product/brand.
Totally forget about the others on the same page. Waitrose and M&S don't worry about what aldi is charging.

To be fair, if somebody is turning their nose up at a person solely because of what they charge then that isn't discerning, that's just snobbish, pretentious and deluded.

I'm more than happy for the Aldi folks to come round to mine so I believe I'll stick at ?100 (in the daytime at least :D) and everybody else can keep the 'discerning' (or 'I'm better than other punters because I'm paying more') ones ::).
