How do u get bookings throughout the day?

[CurlsnCurves]

I'm having a really hard time trying to get any calls, texts or bookings during the afternoons from midday onwards. So I'm sat around doing nothing and getting fed up then as soon as I decide to make some dinner n it's about ready to eat the phone starts ringing. I can't continue like this as I'm skint as fuck and mostly seem to be attracting timewasters and creeps and foreign men I cannot even understand. There was a time when I was done by 3pm each day and I much prefer it that way. I prefer my evenings to myself and like to be able to get out and do whatever I need to do whilst there's still light outside. How can I turn this around and get bookings earlier? It can't all just be about bookings with guys after work. So many are self employed or retired also.

How about doing an 'early bird' discount offer e.g. 9am to noon (even earlier if you're a morning person)? Or a lunchtime quickie offer?

[CurlsnCurves]

I'm not a morning person, much the opposite but I was thinking of starting at 9.30am for a change and seeing how that went. The trouble is I don't think anyone bothers to read my profile so they won't know my new times. I am going to regain my aw profile tonight and make it short, it means I'll get annoying questions but then they can't say it was too long to bother reading at least.

I meant re do my profile, not regain!

Anymore ideas would be much appreciated.

Put AT on at midnight if your going to start early lots of guys check it at night for the next day
Then either do an auto text telling that you start at xxx time and then put your phone on silent 😂

Any special offer that you do put it in the strap line /header as this is what the guys see initially before they actually open the profile and read anything else so you want it to be eye catching

[CurlsnCurves]

I find when I've put any special offer in my strapline on as they delete it and then lock my header until I revise it. I don't know why?

So far this morning I've had nothing and hardly any calls or texts but I've not got the AT on as no money for it. I don't think I'm gonna make a penny this morning n I need to go out the arvo. I keep getting calls from Kuwait and private numbers, useless!!!

Try putting yourself on local feature if you haven't already. This and AT, the day before, so they activate at midnight. Both can be purchased in advance.

I would put any special offers at the top of the description rather than in the header. That and something brief about your location and times you work.

One of the most important things is the quality of your lead profile picture. As a guy scans down a page of search results, it's the first thing his eye catches.

On the subject of profile pictures, they shouldn't be more than say about 800 x 600 pixels. Anything significantly larger than that won't fit on a typical PC screen when expanded. You want someone to be able to see your whole photo rather than bits of it using scroll bars.

Make sure the thumbnails generated are centred correctly. There's a facility on the pictures tab of the "edit profile" section for you to do this.

Change something in your profile a couple of times per day which will bump it up to the top of the search results. Don't do it more than a couple of times a day though or you risk being disciplined.

Consider putting up some movies and a private gallery to earn credits if you don't have enough money to buy any.

Ratings are always helpful. I assume you have some? Perhaps ask some of your regulars to give you some retrospectively if not.

AW isn't the only thing that will get you bookings, consider making a website and listing on other directories. PM me for the ones I've found most effective... although I can't promise they will be as effective for you in your region. You don't need to spend a lot of money.

Best of luck.

For quick credits - phone calls. Put a special offer rate if you are new to it. When I first started I did that as an intro thing. They loved it and the phone didn't stop. The special wasn't that much of an offer either, about 10p cheaper than local wg's.

Daytime bookings in general, they are a fickle bunch and will either want to or not fuck in the day. A lot of them are working as well so can only do after work.

I go about my day as normal and take my phone with me. I get to do stuff and still manage to make bookings. Because I'm not always instantly available this seems to add to the attraction lol.

If your phone isn’t ringing at all then pick a day when your not going to be working  &  pay for LES in another area that’s close to where you are based and put on AT as well
Ie I’m in Bristol so I would put the profile in Cheltenham
See if all of a sudden your phone goes crazy with calls and enquiries

If it goes mad it probably means that you may have overworked that particular  area that your in
If it stays the same then you know it’s not that you have overworked it and it might mean that you need to totally rethink your profile /pictures blah blah

And yes a busy phone doesn’t mean that you will be busy work wise &  calls don’t always mean bookings
But if the OP is getting no calls / work in Area A and moves it to Area B and the phone goes crazy then
chances  are she might need to do a few short local tours

Changing  stuff in your profile a few times a day no longer bumps it up to the top of the page

So, there is loads of info dotted around here on how to make an appealing advert. There is also so much info online for marketing as a general term, but everyone here is right: get yourself an eye-catching photo (no offence to anyone here but I constantly hear clients say they are put off by full nudity or "vulgar," poses - but I suppose this depends on the type of clients you want to attract).

For me, I always have my schedule displayed on a tab. I stated the exact days and times I will be available, and ensure I update it to reflect when I will be available. For me, this allows for clients to book in advance. I currently have bookings all the way into mid December from clients who know they can only see me on X day.

I tend to use the local escort search thingy (1.8 credits per day). I have noticed a significant difference in the amount of enquiries if I don't use this. I also display my number all the time, unless I am on holiday or really can't be arsed being contacted. Again, this widens the amount of clients who will find your profile based on the criteria they search for (ie, they search for girls who display your number). You don't necessarily have to answer your phone, I just put an autoresponse text on to say I will be available on X,y, and z day and if they want to book then to leave me the appropriate details.

When I am available on the day and on the odd occasion I don't have a fully booked day, I will put AT on at midnight and ensure I have that autoresponder on to detail when I will be available. If anything, even though I am not actually available at 1am or whenever they find me, they tend to buy my gallery and movies, so gives me credits.

A few times per month, and especially if touring, I use the profile featuring facility which highlights you at the top of the search results for the area your profile is set in.

Additionally, there are other small things you can do to bring your profile high up in the search results, such as upload photos, movies and blog posts. It used to be the case that if you changed any info on your page, it bumped you up but this is no longer true.

Other tips - ensure you have a catchy headline. You can use certain emjois if you do it from your phone to make your headline pop even more. Ensure your spelling and grammar are flawless, yes, this does affect things. Clients constantly comment on how refreshing my profile is just due to my ability to write in clear and well presented sentences (maybe this is a dying art form?!).

But also, try and get your own personality across. It's your biggest selling point!!

It can't all just be about bookings with guys after work. So many are self employed or retired also.

I also prefer sticking to daytime hours and I'd agree about the offers to encourage punters to book at times which suit you; I'd also say that rather than let another thread turn into a discussion of things to do on Adultwork instead of answering the question, can you think of anything you've changed between the days when you were finished by three and now? Have you changed locations, services, even the time you switch your phone on or the way you take bookings?

I'd have a look at the Where To Advertise thread too and to second what Veggiegal says, you need to get your personality across. This is a lot easier to do if every move you make and word you type isn't having to fit into a set of someone else's rules and generic templates which you can't do anything to customise .

Snap Amy, daytime hours always work best for me. Through the summer, I could start as early as 6.30am (I did an early morning promo 6.30am - 9am) and finish happily at 4/5pm.

I have noticed morning becoming quieter but I generally start around 10am now and still finish at 4.30pm / 5pm. On the odd occasion I will work to 8/9pm by I find that I just can't be arsed now. Different kind of client completely at that time.

Are you in a busy city centre?
