Working in a civvy job Mon-Fri was how I started and used to book a fairly local hotel from Fri evening and went there straight from my office job, bringing my suitcase to work and any questions asked were no problem. I was going away for the weekend of course and it worked perfectly with no one suspecting a thing.

I used to make all the money I wanted on in calls in the hotel from the Friday evening until Sunday night when I checked out and went home. It was a while before I had the good sense to give up the day civvy job and go full time.

How was the weekend work Justine?  I'm under the impression it's either slow or invites less discrete clients who like to party.
They tried to bury us... they didn't know we were seeds.

Maybe it was a combination of good luck/very careful screening/not being available after 10pm, I did not have any problems at all and I usually had approx. 2 bookings on the Friday evening and then an average of 5 or 6 both on the Saturday and Sunday before I checked out at 6pm although I always paid for the Sunday night room as though I was staying there as I knew if I checked out normal time I would have lost out on at least 2 more bookings. It was well worth it though for the money I made in 2 days.

This was not recently though but 7 or 8 years ago so how it would go now if I tried that work method I have no idea.  I would not want that volume of clients over 2 days now anyway, it would finish me off!

Thanks ladies, I think  ;D I see how booking a hotel room works but the thought of seeing multiple men in a day is scary. I have never even had a one night stand before  :angel:

Hello,

I’m thinking about becoming an escort to help with the university struggle! So looking for advice really, I’m worried I’m not experienced enough and not Sure what agency I should be looking for? I’m looking to just work evenings and weekends.

Any advice or tips ?

Only go with an agency if you've got a strong stomach. Sure, they'll arrange the clients for you, but you won't have any say in who you see and you'll be handing over about a third of your earnings. No one with half a brain needs a pimp. Start off just doing out calls, and when you've got some cash do hotel in calls on a weekend.

Thanks for letting me on the site. I am seriously considering escorting starting in September. I have been reading the site and learning a lot but I am starting to worry I am not experienced enough. I haven't had many partners, all fairly long term. The thought of plunging straight in with someone I have just met is a bit scary, will they be able to tell how new and nervous I am. Has anyone else felt like this when starting out?

Hi Ali

Just be yourself. I remember when I first started out. We all have to start somewhere. I’m 46 now, time has flown by so fast. But I remember being a shy 21 year old, heart beating wildly, my conscience fighting with itself, was I doing right thing. But I stuck with it, stayed the course, met some fab people and made some good money :)

You will have some bad experiences which unfortunately is an occupational hazard of our career; when your new and green it’s unavoidable. But when you’re in the swing of things you’ll get to recognise things that aren’t right. Until you’ve worked for 6 months or so just be very cautious, don’t let anybody take advantage, don’t take any risks, or do anything out of your comfort zone. Main thing is be you and your confidence will grow. And there’s lots of people here who can offer help and advice.

Have fun and make lots of money :)

So if I book hotels myself is it worth staying in one city and building a reputation it should I venture to other locations?

I’d start in one area first, get to know how hotels work; and once you feel comfortable you can start to tour. I remember when I first started, using hotels and meeting clients there was daunting. “Will I be recognised”, “will I be reported”, evicted etc?! When I done my first hotels I remember I never wore my work wear to the appointment I was that nervous. But after a while my confidence grew. As I got to know hotels (and this was before the internet) I knew which ones were good and ones to avoid. You’ll get to know that too. There were some particular disgusting seedy places in my home town well known for their down marketness and dubious residents which I wouldn’t touch with a barge pole. I also if possible liked to meet my clients in a bar rather than stumble around trying to find rooms and wander around by myself; hated thought of drawing attention. I only work hotels intermittently now but it’s still a trick I continue to use.

I’d say stick to the chains, do your research and always look at the advice the girls give here on particular establishments and how they work. You’ll be fine :)

I think it also depends on how busy you are. I’m slow as shite in some towns and very busy in others and it’s not always easy to know why. So if you find you are not automatically busy in one city (and after you’ve done as much advertising as possible) it can be worth trying other areas.

I also agree with Kay, in my experience of brothels and agencies you end up doing it with guys you’d rather not because you don’t vet the clients. You can tell so much about whether you’d be happy with spending an hour of intimate time with someone from a quick phone conversation. And because indies are often more discriminating than brothels/agencies I feel like bad attitude guys rely on them more maybe. Not that you don’t also get good customers who use them too.
