Hi,
I have done the odd bit of escorting work over the last few months by chance through meeting people out and about, but I would love to do it on a professional level! I have spent the last three days trying to work out how to use the internet to get into it but I have got no where. Please, please can someone tell me what sites/agencies I should go through? I have very little money at the moment so nothing too dear. I am a size 14-16, 19 years old and have no professional photos. I am bi-sexual. Where would be best to start?

Hi and welcome.

First things first have a good look through here but the main things you need to start getting calls is to create a website. most girls use moonfruit which is free and then start advertising in directories (you can find out good places to advertise on here too) and get a cheap phone. Tesco do ones for about ?15 or use a old phone and get a new sim which is even cheaper.

You can set up quite easily and cheaply but do make sure you do ALOT of research.

Kisses

Amber

Escorting isn't really a game. Its more of a battlefield. Competiting against other escorts is one thing...but sometimes the real challenge is actually finding guys who aren't cheapskate mother f**kers

Thanks guys! How do I get people to view my website if I create one? Is adultwork worth joining?
Ah I'm so overwhelmed by lack of money and so many sites asking for fees haha.
Cheers for all your advice,

Rox xx

Hi Roxymae  :)

You do undoubtedly need a separate phone, some proper advertising and all the rest, but please before you do anything else read through the main SAAFE site completely - it contains a great deal of information for newbies and will help you decide how you want to work, advertise and most importantly inform you about aspects of health, personal safety and security and tax which you may not have thought of. Do not give money to any 'agency' which asks you for an upfront fee - they are scams.

Prostitution is not a licence to print money and you need to prepare and run your business properly like anyone else if you are to be successful - it is VERY hard work indeed and not for everyone. Have a read through the articles and bring your specific questions back here and we can help.

For what it's worth, Adultwork is worth joining for a free kickstart but it dwindles to virtually nothing after a few months unless you are prepared to spend a considerable amount of money on it. They also have a 'New Member Alert' facility to inform punters when new profiles are added which can make you a target for the unscrupulous, because they know you will be green. You don't have to build a website yourself - if you are not techy you can get a template site built very cheaply and have the SEO/promotion sorted for you as well; Google doesn't rank free sites unless you have your own domain. And if you have a digital camera, you can take some photos - they'll be fine and there are threads kicking about on here with tips.

Good luck and welcome to SAAFE!

I've been using adultwork for 4 years now and still get consistent work from it every week and I don't spend any money on it and only have 10 very amateur photos in my gallery that I took myself.
I think I'm just lucky though as I live in quite a populated area but there are not many escorts here.
I don't seem to do so well on other sites though so I think its different for everyone. I've never had my own website either and have completely relied on adultwork.

I'd probably advise you to listen to the other advice that has been given in this thread as I think my popularity is completely down to my location and lack of competition with other escorts (I live in essex in a big town but I'm still on the london tube network and I get all of the commuters passing through.)

That's good to know - I was really going on what others have said and the general consensus so far seems to have been that you need all the bells and whistles (green light thing, featuring, phone number and so on) to get much off it. The only thing I pay for is the phone number and that's only because the tour ads don't show up unless you do.

I think location has a big part to play in terms of how much competition there is and what market they are aiming at; there are a few other ladies here but the majority only advertise on Adultwork and 90%+ of my clients come via my website, so our punter-paths don't really cross that often. Judging by the emails I get from AW (maybe 10 a week, of which maybe two are even worth replying to and the rest go in the bin), I'm not crying into my tea over it either. The only way of knowing what works for you really is to try it.

I also get quite a lot of work through AW and i dont use the available today features etc. Just have a private gallery to cover the credits for displaying my phone number.

I also think the way you market yourself makes a huge difference. For example theres a lot of competition in my area but a lot of it is of the 'F**k me now with your massive member' variety. Therefore the clients who come to me are attracted because i present myself in a more 'sophisticated' (For want of a better word ;D) manner and the ladies showing gynaecological crotch shots scare the bejesus out of them.

Interesting fact, i have just added a blog to my page and have seen an increase in enquiries since, i have no idea why. Especially considering the main topics covered at the moment are the lavender plants i bought for my yard and the chocolate sponge cake i baked last week. Highly erotic ;D
