It’s slow-would you increase/decrease advert spending ?
« on: 21 June 2023, 12:08:27 pm »
It dead for me at the moment. Even my regulars aren’t coming as often. I’m spending money on hotels and adverts (nearly £500 + a month). I’m just getting 10’s time waster emails/those with warnings.

With things being as they are, would you increase advert spend or reduce it?

I would reduce it if it's not working. I find last week before payday is most useless with extra ads and i cut down on hotel costs around that time too.

I currently do:
AW: Available today(£5) mobile display and search(£2.50)(AW only on days I work)
Viva- £7.99 per week.(All week)

I’m not sure which to cut.


Then day hotels. I’m thinking about trying more outcalls but don’t know how to attract that type of client.

I wouldn’t cut any of that. If you really had to Viva but I think all of those are the basic essentials of advertising. If you have a private gallery and videos on Adultwork that should cover your cost of advertising on there. So your only additional spend is Viva which at 7.99 a week isn’t much at all

I think those are the basics you might need. I remember the days when i could spend £250 a werk on paper advert but they could bring in loads and loads of clients per day. Only thing you might cut back is LES and just stick to number and AT on AW.

I’ve never thought about a private gallery to pay for AW stuff. Is there anything septic that I should put in there?

I would dump the 'available today' thing on AW, but then it does nothing for me except act as a twat magnet and I only use it when I fancy a blockathon. I get more bookings when I don't.

I have a lot of other ads as well as my website though, so it's a bit different for me (and if you want to market outcalls, I'd recommend this too). As for discussion of particular AW features, there are lots of threads on the separate board :)

I'd start making a note/ spreadsheet of where your advertising is working.

Ask clients at end of booking hope you don't mind asking but where did you find my details?

Some might say aw, or another directory or viva street. Then make a note and after a month look at how many come in from aw/ viva or other directories and drop the ones not working.

Adultwork - main one

Aw - available today I find personally really works . If I don't do it, work slows down.

Touring section, LES, and some escorts pay the featured escort advertising which is roughly 40 credits a day. I've never personally do the featured I've heard mixed results.

Also maybe give your profile an overall , see if  you can make it stand out from the crowd. Keep your free gallery and pics updated reg - even if selfies, clients love new photos, also consider writing a few blogs.

Other directories

Try some free directories such as escortrankings, adultseek - doesn't bring in loads of work but a few here and there which will bump up your money on a quiet day.

Vivastreet I no longer bother with - too many tw but it may be worth trying the " new" feature or other featured options. All depends on what area in country you are. And i think it's £2.99 for a website link , that's worth paying for if you have a website.

I wouldn't bother  with AW Available Today. Like Amy, I just find it a total twat magnet. Just pay the 1 credit to display your number, still get timewasters, like I did today, but not in the numbers you get when displaying AT.
I don't bother with Viva street now either, tried it but it was mainly timewasters.
Like the OP, my regulars are not coming as often either even though I have only increased my rates for anything over 30 mins by £10/£20.
 Summer is generally a bit shit anyway with so many going away.
For providers like myself i.e low volume in non affluent areas, I feel the best days in this industry are definitely behind us.

I have had my AW profile 4 years and last 3 years with private gallery and some clips I never spend a penny of my own money on AW and I feature most days and go available only when I don't have my day booked up. I also get around £200-400 a month I draw out of my AW account to spend.

Best thing for me is that I always monthly load up new pics to my free gallery that gets interest.

Problem is  i find without paying for AT i don't get enough calls so i need it you probably do get a lot of timewasters with it too but most i don't even answer the call when i see the reports flag up for them so i save myself loads of times ignoring some of the idiots.
