Its still early days.

Its hard enough in the beginning for ladies to get a booking but for guys its even harder.   Have you tried offering other services such as DirectChat or DirectIM to get some money in your account and perhaps some feedback which may help.

You will get there in the end.  It just takes time.  Prossying is not a business that runs in the fast lane.  You just gotta hang in there im afraid.

Hope something turns up soon for you but as its coming up tot he end of the month it may be a bit harder.

Unfortunately there's alot of guys on AW who are happy to see men and they do charge next to nothing (if anything at all) so that may make it even harder for you. Don't give up though, there's always someone out there who will buy what you're selling

Realistically, though, how much do you think I can charge?

Maybe you have a female friend you can do couple work with? And create a couple profile on aw and other sites, etc?

Are you paying the extra money to have yourself listed in the local escorts search and as 'available today'? That always helps me get some bookings. You could also pay to get your profile featured.

It took me a couple weeks to get regular calls, I think it was 4/5 days before I got my first booking and I got really lucky with that client. He left me a review and once I had that it really changed not only the type of calls I was getting but how many I got. Just stick it out.

For prices, you need to look at what services you are offering, try and be really honest and give yourself a 1-10 rating, and look for girls that match up to you in those areas and are in the same location as you and see what they charge. You can always lower it for a week or so to be competitive and once you've gotten some bookings and reviews you can raise your prices.

^totally missed that part! oops! 

Gaydar - I am not convinced the hassles of the escort chatroom are worth the money they want in this case, but certainly a free / basic cost profile looking for 'generous' partners would be.

Sleepyboy - yes, it's about ?20/month if you want anyone to see a phone number, but its search facilities are crap. You can't even search for straight escorts, for example. On a basic 'who's in London' browse, you're one of 400+ people, listed by how much you've paid them, with just name, age and photo visible to attract profile views.

Rentboy - doesn't have the same readership as those two, and positively goes out of its way to not say how much they want for any ad, but it's probably more than Sleepyboy for London. That gets you anywhere from page four onwards, but you can say more on the visible listing.

I've suggested that, for what's being marketed, the London gay press is a better use of the money: seen only by people in London, able to say clearly what's on offer, and able to be distinctive.
