Agreed. I have researched it to death and it was fairly pointless.

I start my tour tomorrow and I decided not to go too far away so that I could travel home if it didn't work out instead of being stuck in a hotel room hours away.
The thing is that we all offer something unique (I am a MILF) for example so you should focus on what you can offer and then advertise properly on several platforms to ensure you are seen and then keep your fingers crossed.
I also found it useful to find places that you can pay for daily so that it's not a huge financial hit all in one go until you've made some money.
Good luck xx
