However, I do resent the idea that because a client can afford that amount they are somehow 'nicer'.
 I've seen plenty of very wealthy clients who were bloody horrible. Arrogant and conceited and far more unpleasant to deal with than the average guy who has to give more consideration to how he spends his hard earned cash.

I agree.  I see some lovely people whose funds only half an hour and they are delightful and then again some of the ones that have no money issues.............. well say no more. 

Saying that though you cannot generalise at all, money doesn't necessarily bring good manners nor give you a better quality client.

Unfortunately I don't get bookings everyday - I wish! But 2-3 clients a week is fine for me When  I saw more than that, I burned out pretty quickly and was constantly stressed out. I guess everyone is different right?

Perhaps London is different but most places you couldn't charge that amount - you'd just get no bookings. I think you are pretty lucky to be able to do so. A lot of us would love to only see 2-3 clients a week and not get burned out; unfortunately its not an option.

Also I don't think high end is just about price, its about the quality of service you give.

From what I've heard, there is still a fair bit of the ?300-1000 work going on here in London - it didn't stop being a globally important capital city visited by plenty of zillionaires and famous people etc, after all. But I'd imagine the size of that section of the industry is much, much smaller now and having a perfect reputation (as well as perfect looks, perfect clothes and lingerie and a perfect apartment) is absolutely essential. I wouldn't try to break into that sort of price-range because I'm far happier where I am (and I agree - a wider client base means you get to pick just the nicest ones to see! ) and wouldn't want to feel stressed/insecure - but if you're already established and earning that much, then there's no reason to stop!

I can't help but feel that people still really underestimate the importance of establishing yourself when they start out nowadays. You've got to build up that great reputation and be creating a great blog and lots of great photo galleries etc. It really takes time! Even someone charging ?100 an hour in London could expect it to take a while to become ridiculously popular, even if they were seeing 5+ guys a day every single day which would be tricky since, well, think of all the clients who only visit an escort twice a year; they won't find you til maybe 6 months after you start. There are a lot of once-a-week guys at the 'parlour end' of things, of course, but once you get to maybe ?120-150+ you're looking at what is a significant amount of money to the vast majority of people.

Someone might even see your website in March and decide to save up to see you in July! So yes, I don't see much point looking at the earnings of an escort who's been working in one niche for x number of years, or the earnings of another escort in another niche who's been working for y number of years, and trying to draw some sort of conclusion. I know what I know about myself, and I hear all sorts of things from other sex workers about their work, but even if I worked for 100 years I wouldn't be able to begin to guess what a new girl might earn in her first week/month/year.

I don't think there is a true answer to this question.

What one femme makes as a target for the week - if this is the way she works - another may set her target as twice as much.

What I can say is that the number of femmes coming into the business has trebled in as little as a couple of years so work for everyone is going to be getting a lot less work.  On top of that guys have less money and guys who may have seen a femme every week for say a two hour booking are now cutting their time down to one hour or in some cases to 30 mins.

I have cut down my working days because I'm getting on a bit but one of my friends who is used to having 3 or 4 or 5 bookings per day told me today she has only had 2 bookings in the past week, so that tells me that things are drastically slow, but there is not a lot the femmes can do about it.  We just have to try and convert every call into a booking but that just isnt happening sadly.

This week so far for example I have had 2 x 2 hour bookings and 4x1 hour bookings (I only work incalls between 10am and 4pm) and offer evening outcalls which are few and far between.

Would this be considered "slow"?

I have only been doing this full time for about two years so I don't have many accounts to compare. I just worry that I may be getting complacent and should be advertising more etc (I literally only use AW at the moment)

Thanks for your answers girls, I guess as long as I am happy then that is the most important thing

Would this be considered "slow"?

Roxy, there's no right answer to this - some ladies would consider this slow, others average and for others this would be busy. The only thing that matters is whether you are getting the amount of work that you want. As you've said, as long as you're happy then everything's fine, and comparing yourself to others or speculating about how much work they're getting in relation to you is just pointless - you'll drive yourself mad.

No two people are the same and even individuals work in different ways - I'm happy with a handful of bookings a week when I'm home and usually have at least a week off every month after I've been touring somewhere, but when I'm off working away I would call three or under bookings a day slow, 4-6 steady and 6+ busy (I don't do short appointments). Other ladies would consider this slow and are happier to get into double figures, others find a couple a day (or a week) enough. I wouldn't dream of working at a pace like this at home and most of the time I'm not bothered whether I work there at all - I turn a good half of enquiries down because I'm far more choosy on my own turf. But none of it bears any relation to you or anybody else here.

The 'Slow At The Minute' thread was formed as a repository for members to have a moan - there was a point at which there were six or seven virtually identical threads on the front page of the board all at once as well as God alone knows how many which had slipped away, but people still kept on posting them every time their phone hadn't rung for a few hours and I got so bloody sick of looking at them that I merged them all together. It's just another version of 'Scam Agencies', 'Straight Men' and the 'How Not To...' so that people can post what amounts to the same thing over and over again without it taking over the forum. The only useful purpose it serves is that it spans about three years now (if memory serves), so if nothing else, everyone can see that there are good and bad days all the time and have been for as long as most of us can remember .

As others have said, slow can be different for different girls.  I would consider that business for me is slow.  I would love to get one client a week (haven't had a client since the 2nd Mar), let alone one a day.  My phone may not ring for days and I'm pulling my hair out wondering what I'm doing wrong (apart from paid advertising, which I cannot afford to do, as buying food takes priority) My ideal would be 4 or 5 a week, but I have only ever made that once in the 9 months I've been working. 

I usually get one client a day, with some days nothing and other days with 2 or 3.  Most of these clients are one hour, but I also get at least one two hour and one looong booking per month.

This is how many I was getting when I had limited incalls, interestingly, now it's still pretty much what I'm getting.
