At the moment I'm working a Monday 1pm-9pm and Tuesday 10am-8pm from hotels. I'm in Glasgow. Sometimes I do Wednesdays too.
I used to work Sundays then they went really quiet.
Also used to do Fridays 1pm-8pm and could easily get 5 bookings. The last 2 Fridays I booked I got 1 booking!
Do you think it's better to have set days each week or change it?
Also if you were to pick days to work which would you go for?
I'm doing OK just unsure of my days.
-
It makes no difference to me.
Weekend before last I was quiet. This weekend I made ?500.
I honestly have no 'busy days,' I just make myself available and take what comes.
-
I think every day is a different day to be fair no day is the same all day. For incalls weekends seem to be worse though overall.
-
I don't do incalls often but I recently did a Thursday night and got 1 half hour booking, didn't cover costs. Just did Sunday night, 4 bookings. Hotels are cheapest Sunday night but sometimes good sometimes slow. My Thursday night was city centre so really wanted more than one half hour!
It's very unpredictable...
-
None, they?re all shit :(

I think it has been said many times and once or twice by me, there is no way we can tell how the days will go apart from the obvious pre booked appointments.
I can have a week of nothing prebooked but do ok Mon to Sat or I can have a week of 3 or 4 prebooked and a splash of same day short notice bookings too. If I could choose to do a set 2 or 3 days a week and make my target on those days I would but it just isn't like that.

hard to say...
Wednesday or thursday i got always some booking, currently on Saturday also.
Monday can be very good or very bad.
So 3 on 7 days .... ahaha not so good! i agree with Gothgirl they are all shit.
Compared to years ago...is very bad!
i was so busy and i didn t have ads everywhere...
everyday at least 3 booking! ... i do not know why.. guessing...i was overweight before..a bit fat, really not nice for me but i was so busy....or it is economy brexit etc....or as now i am not newbie i lost my pure and innocent image...ahah ;D ??? ::)
btw i do not have anymore energy to have 3 booking everyday..so...i am happy as it is now, of course i would like to boost my income!

I work over a Thursday to Saturday most weeks. Last Friday was bad for me and the previous would have been good if not for phone issues. Usually I manage nicely with three to four bookings a day and I don?t really want to take more than that. Living on the edge, I?ve usually got my coursework to keep me busy and as I don?t live alone at home, I make the most of the peace!

I find Thursday are my busiest day. Never worked Sundays but Saturdays were usually dead unless it's around payday.

I have worked every day of the week on various weeks of the month in the same city as you. Mondays are normally shite. Even my regs won't see me on a Monday. Tuesdays are ok but Wed-Fri are by far the best days for me. Saturdays are normally filled with TWs and people still drunk / high from the night before. Sundays can actually be ok as people are hungover and have the horn.
I'd say it is always best to have set days then clients will know when to expect you.
I normally always work Wed and am pretty much booked up in advance. Same with Fridays if I work them. The great thing about Glasgow is that there are pretty much no bad days; some are just quieter than others.

I'm always busy on a Monday. Not much between Tuesday's and Wednesday's.
Sunday's seem to be busier now.
I'm going with Sunday 2pm-9pm, Monday 10am-9pm and thinking about 1 or 2 other days
-
It's so confusing. If you had to pick 2 or 3 days to work every week which would you pick?
-
Sundays and Wednesday's are now busier and Mon and Fri dead ..don't go near Thursday's Saturdays or Tuesday's .. funeral homes are busier !!
-

That was my point though, in my own situation there are no two days to rely on making a target amount for the week. Not these days anyway. I can have 3 dead Saturdays in a row and then have a busy one and make plenty of cash and it has nothing to do with paydays for men. Or I can assume a usually dead Monday will be a no phone call day and then be surprised and do very well.

i do not work on Sunday, this is sure! other day still flexible...
you never know..
to keep sane, you should choose 3 days and take risks..you can always miss a booking..
Always change..
me i know that Sunday is and was the less busy..so i risk and i do not work.

I've chosen Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. I know it's different with everyone but I always have minimum 4 bookings on Monday. Sunday used to be busy so fingers crossed. Wednesday and Thursday should be OK. Can always drop Sunday if it's useless. I agree good idea to experiment and can always change days.
