Since returning not making the money help
« on: 21 March 2025, 03:51:43 pm »
Hey ladies I used to tour around 8 years ago and I would make good money I also lived in Manchester and I worked from home I used to do very good . I returned to working a month ago my first tour back was a disaster I didn’t even cover expenses so I worked massage parlours I hardly got picked which got me down but I was able to make some money at least but I hate them I have no patience for them . I have some parlour shifts lined up for next week working two 24 hour shifts .

I have had just time wasters contact me for Yorkshire for working from home and it’s stressful . I thought I would at least get one a day and I can’t even do that . I’m a size 16 where as before I was size 10 I always had tattoos but now I have dreads I’m very alternative . I look very different hence why I don’t really get picked in the parlours . I seem to get work if every one else is busy .

When I first started this job I was 19 I’m 36 now and I used to work for agency’s you be sat in a car waiting for a booking and off you would go I’m considering doing that again even tho I really don’t want to please advice would be great xx

You also have got a Adultwork advert yes?

You mentioned you have a tonnes of timewasters on there but rather than give up maybe change how you’re screening them until you find something that works ? Only seeing people with feedback ? Checking phone numbers too

24hr shifts at a parlour sounds super tiring and me personally I couldn’t hack that, but if that’s what’s making you money at the moment yes makes sense to continue

Maybe do quickie / lower rates or massage offerings with Gumtree etc. etc ? Until build up to better clients

 I would perhaps focus on that indie side  (and writing yourself in a good light - no matter how you physically look alternative or not someone out there is into that). Write about how you have a lot of experience and what services you can do really well. Maybe consider offering some niche services to go with your niche look….?


Going part time and outcalls whilst you work a civvy job also an option to keep upfront costs down. Touring and working in general is much much more expensive than it was 10 years ago sadly, that’s just unavoidable


Sounds shite tho I’m sure your luck will turn around x

But that just sums up the shitness of agencies and the pimps who run them - what sort of muppet is so thick that he not only thinks every man in the world has exactly the same taste as him, but is witless enough to say so? What a prince.

I doubt you're missing much with this revolting pig - you'd likely have had to put up with him pestering for freebies too (or why would he care whether you're his 'type' or not?) ::)

8 years ago there was more money around. It is naive to think otherwise.

Post pandemic cost of living crisis plus now talk of global recession.

Yep,8 years ago, good ol days, we were all swimming in money, my phone was ringing of the hook, so much I would have to turn if off at time because I couldn't handle the high volume of calls and appointments, nowadays I need to shake the phone to see if it's working. I don't think the OP has done nothing wrong, she's just facing a much more challenging economy. The alternative look properly done and marketed can work just fine, but she may need great photos, maybe a website? It's definitely not her age as many women in their 60's are doing great and she still has a long way to get there, it's just the market is much harder and one needs to work more in their business model and getting established. I have also noticed that a lot of the guys who were seeing women in person are no longer doing it and paying for webcam which has taken a big hit at IRL meetings.

Welcome back.. Sadly the market has changed especially after the pandemic. The genuine clients are fewer and far in between to go round.
Get a AdultWork profile and vivastreet advert as well
 also get a part-time job when it gets boring, at least you know some money is coming in.

I know it’s all changed over the last few years but I definitely find featuring yourself on aw, upload content and do webcam even if it for hour a day to boost your profile on AW xx

Hey ladies I’m now in hospital so I won’t be earning for a while now . Yes got a part time job lined up and gonna do this on the side . The days of making 3 k a week are long gone now I think I’ll be lucky to make 3 k a month . This is why I’m off to do the parlor work I don’t want to do it but I’m making money in them . So I’m gonna try to continue to do the parlours .

I don’t like the way I look now days my age isn’t a problem I’m 36 so still young ha I’m just heavier than I was years ago . I only advertise on aw having problems with viva . I used to cam years ago but I don’t want to it again it took over my life doing cam . I have some savings so I’m not skint but I could do with the money if that makes sense .

I'm So sorry you are in the hospital.... I'm sure bigger than you and older too. There is always clients for all sizes as I said earlier is slower these days.
Hopefully you get better soon and good luck with the parlour work.

Barbie I've just seen your post but please look after yourself and don't worry about working if you're not well :)

If you're going to keep at it then I'd be careful about being recognised if you're very distinctive looking - you're in a tiny town and whilst there are definitely people working in smaller places you need to be really careful about identifiable pictures and stuff. A handful of bookings a week is the most I'd risk but to be honest I'd stick with the parlours.

You must put your health first, your health is your wealth. And when it comes to age and size, men like variety. I've lost weight and had some negative comments, some regulars have not booked me since I've lost weight, but I've gained new ones who prefer my smaller size. Plenty of men prefer curvier and bigger, and it's how you make them feel that gets them coming back to.

A new profile is going to attract the absolute waste of space time wasters. I think when I came back, only offering outcalls, it took 3 or 4 weeks to actually get a booking after filtering through the absolute TW you get. Once you’re established you’ll bring the money in. There are days where I sit there and waste a day and there are days where I need two of me. It’s difficult out there at the moment. I refuse to lower my prices or anything. I’m good at what I do. Once you get feedback and your spider senses return you’ll be fine x

Stay healthy too, hope you recover soon.

Hey, unfortunately you have come back at a bad time, I also use to make £2-£3k a week before covid but now I'm lucky if I even make £2k a month. I believe this escorting world is dying due to the cost of living and bills being too high... I can't even rely on regulars anymore. I suggest maybe applying to every agency there is out there, or doing onlyfans/online work xxx

Hey every one I’m out of hospital and resting up . Yes I’m in a small town and I very much stand out . I will only see a few from home I’m in a council property it is very nice but I have some very nosey neighbours with time on there hands so I won’t get away with working loads from home I’ll just do a few . But I’m gonna stick to the parlours for now where I know I can make money I won’t risk touring at the moment it’s too expensive for me .

I’m very recognisable ladies when I lived in Manchester which was a huge city I was constantly getting men come up to me in the street saying they had seen my profile it was very embarrassing I hope it doesn’t happen where I live .


I was supposed to be starting a job but they expected me to do 100 training hours for free before I started which I said no too so I’m looking for another little Job .

Alots changed for me since you all knew me I have epilepsy now which is another reason why I prefer parlours I hate them but if I have a fit at least I’m not on my own with the customer x
