Out of curiosity can anyone tell me how long it took to get the first emails/calls enquiring about them once websites etc first went out.  I'm hoping to launch myself out there either tomorrow or Tuesday and want to know how long i should wait before i start to feel rejected and deeply hurt by all the men out there looking for escorts lol... 

I know it will probably take a little bit longer for me to generate any business because i can only offer out calls at the moment, and because im new at this im insisting on all first times being in hotels (im not telling them im new though!!) but it would be nice to know how long it could take.  I think my expectations are that it will take a few days or a week and the enquries will take a while to pick up, is this a fair assumption or am i kidding myself?  could i still be sat here waiting in a month???

Thanks Anika. 

I'm glad you mentioned the new thing, I dont think this is something I will hide from anyone once i meet them but i thought maybe i wouldnt go shouting about it incase it drew in timewasters or men who think I will be a push over to rip off cos im new to it all.  I have tried to write my website to make it sound like i know what im doing (well its true, i do.  i just never asked for money before!! lol) and tried to think of everything I want to say in it so I'm hoping it will be ok.  I have also blagged my way in to various jobs over the years and I've always just acted confident and as if i have known what i was doing and i amazingly get away with it!!! I'm kind of sticking with that tactic in this also... it may be false confidence at first but that's better than none lol.  Having said that I am feeling a lot more confident now that i have chosen to go indie and have had some great advice from people on this site, so much so that i'm going to be ready to start up a week or two earlier than i had thought.

Also, Having done my research it seems like everyone wants client feedback on their sites but do you think it does really make a difference.  Will it make a difference that there is nothing in mine??  I hadn't really given it much thought till tonight.  Maybe i under estimate the male population when it comes to them picking an escort but I cant really imagine most men giving a damn whats written in there???  Only time will tell i guess.

thanks again.

p.s im definately not planning to keep a diary of them, this is all hardwork enough as it is without adding even more to the admin side of it!!! I had no idea that becoming an escort would turn me in to a self employed business woman, web designer, photographer (shabby one but still!!) and an accountant.  good job i already have the PA experience to deal with the paperwork really lol

Hi Lexie,

I myself do not offer incalls nor house visits for the first time and I can tell you I have two that werent happy out of all that have emailed me. In my case its a minority so I wouldn't worry too much about that.

A little patience will go a long way ..... but don't get addicted to looking at hotmail/yahoo etc I got a bit like that and its not good as you have your own life as well.

I have a def booking for tom, and a booking for a fetish thing this week, also have a half hour Sunday, these are all definates.

Never count them as definites until the booking's over and you've got the cash safely in your hand. I've found that there's no such thing as definite in this career until then.

When I first started, I used to make all these bookings and I'd have the money spent in my head before I'd earned it. I suffered a few disappointments, I don't mind telling you.

I don't mean to burst your bubble, but it just helps keeps you grounded.

Thanks for all the advice everyone.  I'm almost ready to go except for my photo's which im going to do tonight.

I houseshare at the moment so incalls are a def no no but im aiming to be able to do them after the new year maybe.  i dont fancy the idea of quickies, i remember the girls i used to know who were escorts saying that men were always contacting then asking for discounts and half hour slots etc but they never did it.  i have set my minimum price, if they only want a qucikie they can have it but i'm charging the same regardless.

I think i am quite lucky in that I havent chosen to do this totally out of financial need, if i really wanted to, i have other skills that would get me paid good money.... i just dont want to do any of them right now.  Its alot to do with freeing up some of my time and being able to be flexible with my time that im choosing to escort so that i can study etc.  I also think I will be bloody good at it, i think i probably have the right kind of attitude for it and if not..... i think i will be able to recognise this and get out before any 'damage' is done.

As for clients you fancy.... I never even considered this as a possibility.  I'm just going to assume that everyone is going to be fat and bald and old and maybe even have a hunch back.  I think i prefer it that way.  I dont want men i fancy.....  I'd rather be paid by uglies to spend time with rather than good looking guys... oh my god, is that weird?  great, now the job has turned me in to a weirdo as well and i havent even started properly yet. lol

I  will let you all know how it goes, thanks again

Absolutely you don't have to do quickies and you shouldn't feel you have to. Some people like them, some don't. And you're right, you get the odd gent who wants to pay half an hour's rate for an hour's booking. Some like to take the piss and stretch the booking for as long as they possibly can, even going so far as to withhold cuming. I do sometimes have to keep a firm hand on such bookings. Literally! On one occassion I had to push a gent off of me in midstroke because he wanted to try and cum twice in 30mins and went over time. He'd even brought a bottle of cognac with him, so he definitely came with the notion of staying for longer than he paid for. I find it all fun, but it's not some ladies' cuppa tea.

Best of luck with photos.

The more I look around the more I feel amateurish and unprofessional and expensive!

I did think that might be a problem the first time I saw your site. Your rates are not unreasonable for London, but there are a lot of girls who charge a lot less, so you might need to look more professional if you want to be one of the expensive ones.

The cheapest and easiest way you could improve your image is to register a domain name. When people see sweet-evie.moonfruit.com they know your site is free, and I think if I was looking at high-end escorts that would put me off. Londonevie.com or londonevie.co.uk looks much more professional, and you can get either for less than a tenner.

 Agreed I lowered my prices a bit, offering half hours and 90 minute sessions and am trying to put on a few clearer photo's now, and have registered www.sweet-evie.com and am updating all my ads etc with that instead of moonfruit.com - Pro session for pictures is on this months to do!

  I need to make a bit of money before I can really polish it up, but I do completely agree
