God this is painful just sat in PJs dolled up to the 9s waiting for a call from the agency with a booking. It's looking bleak now cause I could only do 7pm-9pm tonight anyways.
Also down for 10am-2pm on Wednesday, really hope I get something that day at least cause I'm skint 
What is the most popular time of day to get clients in your experiences? Think I'd rather put myself down for say 12pm-7pm in future, can't be doing with all this sitting around being dolled up in PJs on a night malarky x

I s'pose my response to the OP is less to do with getting ready quicker and more to do with not bothering to wait for an agency to send (or not send) you bookings.

It doesn't matter to the agent whether the clients who call them see you or any of the other girls on the books; the agent still gets their cut. And maybe they even have 'special deals' with some of the other girls so they send them more work in exchange for extra cash or other favours... you never know.

I know going indie A) seems daunting to newbies, even though it's very easy, and B) is legitimately impossible for some due to honestly not having the time to take their own calls etc. However, there is always the parlour route to consider, too. In many cities there are very popular, busy parlours which are well-run and are - forgive the use of this word! - classy. Large apartments, fancy reception areas, luxurious bathrooms, etc etc. As always, read the punter sites to check reviews; lots of positive feedback means happy clients which tends to mean happy workers. Also note that a well-run parlour will probably be one that lots of girls want to work at, so you may be on a 'waiting list' to join (seems bonkers but honestly, so few pimps know how to run a bloody business properly these days) and you'll need to be reliable to keep your place there.

Whatever option you choose, as with any business in the whole world, it's never wise to keep all your eggs in one basket if you want a reliable income - so maybe consider a combo of agency + parlour, or agency + indie, or indie + parlour? Or even agency + agency, if you wanted to try out a different one to your current one. Just be cautious because agents can forget that *you're* hiring *them* and can get stroppy (or worse) if they find out you're also looking for additional income through other means. So make sure to never let an agent know your real name or where you live, and never give them face pictures if you're not already showing face pics publicly.

(For the record, I'm firmly in the camp of soft, natural skin - whatever its tone - plus lovely soft lighting and candles etc, cos then both you and the client can feel you are looking your most alluring without anyone having to faff with fake tan! Nobody wants a fluorescent bulb over 'em while shagging. )

Thanks for the advice Emily I'm definitely thinking of at least looking into going indie. I have a normal job though so is it possible because I wouldn't be able to answer calls all the time?

Sweetcheeks if you set up a profile on AW thats a start regarding trying out going Indie.  You can specify on your profile what hours you work, even when you will be available for calls.  Or don't put your phone no. up and have contact initiated by emails.

That doesn't mean to say the TWs/idiots will take any notice, but genuine clients will.  You won't lose anything by putting up the profile so why not try it.

I only do incalls one day per week and have my phone switched off the entire rest of the time (although I could technically take calls, but when I'm focusing on an important piece of work I don't want to be distracted by some timewaster ringing to ask me pointless questions so he can wank over the futility of it all), so I'd say an emphatic YES to being able to work independently around a regular job.

I do display my phone number on my AW profile - paid for by credits earned from my private gallery, in which there's no fanny closeups or anything, just my 'candid snaps' in nice lingerie so clients can see my glossy pro photos aren't airbrushed madly - but encourage clients on my AW profile and also on my own website to email me to book ahead. When I switch my phone on, there may be voicemails and texts, but I don't usually need to respond to them as the clients who can read my instructions properly give me more than enough business to fit into my limited hours, and I can't help liking the ones who follow instructions properly just that little bit better.

I also utilise an availability calendar on my site so clients know when I'm available. You can look at it cos my link's just under my little profile pic on here; it's that little globe icon.

Yes, you do end up sending the same response to zillions of emails, but just write out a template for yourself and copy+paste. "Thank you for your email, [Jeff/Bob/Pete]! You can see my upcoming availability here: [your website link] If there's a day of my availability that would suit you, just email me to let me know the time you'd like. Thanks! [Your work name]" ... or whatever. Not everyone will respond, and some guys will want to schedule a phone call with you to check you're genuine (just be sure to avoid sexual topics on the phone cos that's just free phone sex for a wanky timewaster - always let them know to email you any questions and get off the phone ASAP - genuine clients will follow your instructions while TWs will wander off to an easier target).

It will take time and experience for you to figure out which available times, out of your limited options, are the most lucrative, but stick with it. Also, be sure to employ a proper confirmation method which will avoid you taking bookings from people you'll never actually hear from again (although a surprising number will fake-book multiple times, so also maintain a nice Blocked list within your email so you're not bothered by their silliness).

It's all surprisingly easy, but I suppose I'm speaking from 3 years of experience here. At the beginning, you just need to be patient, and make full use of your security buddy for emotional support and an extra brain for those, "is this guy a nutter or is it just me?" moments. Do the same for her, of course. Independent work without friends is probably the loneliest (and most dangerous) thing, so be sure to have a buddy or two in place as a support network.

Blaine, did you have any advice, suggestions or relevant comments for the OP?
