I always work 5 days a week and sometimes 6 and 7 days a week if I haven't got any social plans at the weekend and I have a realistic target of 2 clients a day (which I always, always get) and have a limit of 3!
If you have a financial target then try and stick to it then move on, I'm working longer than I had planned because I wasted the first 2 years touring constantly and wasting so much money on expenses, I've never had it in me to see loads of guys in a day to make it worth my while!
I personally think any more than 3 would burn you out but that's just my opinion but then again if your only part time then if you can manage more....fair enough but I would start to feel sore and drained after 3 which would mean I couldn't offer the best I can!
Treat it like a proper job and proper business, go to bed at a normal time and wake up at a normal time. I set my first alarm at 7 and my second one for 7.30! I think lying in your bed till lunchtime is just a wasted day and I hear lots of girls do that!
I have set hours on my profile that I update every Sunday and I take my first client at 10am!
Be reliable unless of an actual emergency obviously!
Have an honest profile, only thing on my profile that's untrue is my age so that I show up on most searches but I have my real age in my FAQ's!
Don't be flakey!
Always be fresh and clean (So many just do back to back bookings without washing).
Always have loads of condoms, lube, wipes etc!
Work from somewhere safe and discreet!
Treat your clients well and with the utmost respect as I do with my clients although I admit I have zero tolerance and zero time for idiots so I have been known in the past to have a bad attitude although I'm not really caring what the idiots think of me, my clients are what's important to me. This is the sex industry and there are far more idiots than there are decent guys contact me hence having no time for them!
Always be uber friendly and bubbly cause even the idiots like to feel like they are fucking a person and not a robot!
Don't clock watch or rush your clients but obviously don't let people take the piss either!
Make sure your apartment and bathroom is spotless and that your clients have clean towels, toiletries etc!
Offer drinks and make them feel welcome in your place!
Have good communication!
Register for inland revenue!
Have safety measures in place!
Have a diary and write everything down so your organised, I couldn't do without mine!
Get good reviews and feedback as best you can, you'll never be able to please everyone though but reputation these days no matter what business your in is essential with online reviews!
Obviously not in that order, just things coming into my mind as I say them, if I think of other stuff....I will add to the list.
