Lazy_wanabe_escort gal wants LOTSA ????
« on: 03 August 2008, 11:16:59 pm »
I already work as a stripper, but am considering escorting (not in my workplace though!!)
this is completely due to laziness, although I know apart of me would feel revelled in pursuing it - since I have had many dreams from a young age of having sex with just about anyone and enjoying it  ;)- but maybe apart of me won't, since I LOVE to tease in the physical world. :D

Of course, I am not saying that stripping is easier than escorting - both jobs have up and downs I imagine, but not having to pay a house fee and being requested over hustling customers for money sounds like a better bet for me.

I enjoy my job alot, but as I am always on the look-out for more money, and not an 'ambitious pole-dancer' - I don't want to work hard to get to the top in terms of that profession, I just need some money on the side while I study until I can professionalise in design for theatre.

---------------You can see why I need to extra money lol------------

***BUT***
I would only do it for loaaads, as in, joining an agency that charges say, ?100 p/hr.
Can I sign up to any agency that charges a high amount of money for their girls even though I am an amateur?

That would make a whole lot of difference to my decision.. less than ?50 p/hr would just not be enough for me, I'd feel cheap & degraded :-[
(although on slow nights sometimes you can make nothing but the fee you paid to work :P)

P.S I just remembered Im really small too! Can only take 6 inch penis :/ - problem? lol

In my experience, escorting is far easier than stripping, as long as you're ok with the sex, obviously. I went back to stripping recently just for fun and was so glad that wasn't how I made a living anymore. Business is somewhat erratic in both areas, but I'd rather spend two weeks not making any money as an escort than have two shifts only covering the house fee as a stripper. As a stripper, you work just as hard or harder when you're not earning, as an escort I just kick back and wait until I get a booking.

You'll probably enjoy it; I fantasised about hooking before I did it, and absolutely loved my first six months on the game.

Where are you? I'm in Brighton and don't know much about less expensive areas of the country, but I'd be surprised if there was anywhere in Britain where ?100/hour for outcalls was considered expensive. If anyone suggests you work for less than ?50/hour, laugh at them.

Yes, you can join an agency that charges the going rate even though you've never done it before. I believe the majority of people who go into the industry, especially working via agencies, work for six months or less before packing it in. There's no probation period in sex work.

You sound rather young and excitable, but please do your research before you start, and don't get scammed. You're used to the house fee system, but that's not how escorting works. Agencies make their money by taking a commission on each job they get you; anyone who claims to be an agent and wants you to give them money before you've got money (and that means cash; not a cheque or a credit card payment which the agency will pass on to you) is a liar and will not bring you any work.

Its okay, Ive read a few posts of poor girls who've been scammed here - it never changes with any business does it? lol. Not a penny of mine is going to anyone, except for the commission of course :)

I am just on the edge of kent, JUST outside london. What sucks is that I'm moving further out into kent for 1 year, so it takes me 40 mins to get to london, aswell as giving me a broad range of area to cover, but I am not confident agencies in london would employ me because of the distance, and would so much rather work in london - cannot imagine having nearly as many calls - but I could be very very wrong. Plus I quite like the idea of having sex with someone with lots of money ^^

Can't work in my own residence seeing as I'm living with students from my college next year.

How did you find your agency? I could look in my local newspaper, since this may be the best form of advertisement and accessibility for locals, but I would prefer a classy agency with a website - possibly my picture given on request.

I think you may find with agencies that they will reqire a picture to showcase you on the website as i dont think you will get much work without a pic of yourself (your face will be obscured if you ask it to be)
also if you want to stay on the right side of the inland revenue you will have to give over some of your money..to them otherwise you may find yourself in hot water
not all of your money will be yours to be honest you will have to pay the agency a fee for each job you get , also you will need to take into consideration travelling costs,make up, underwear,condoms,lube..the list goes on and on and on...
I notice you asked about becoming a lesbian escort previously has that not come to fruitation?

Ok, well London is, I think, the only place in the country that supports a wide range of prices: bargain basement to high flyer. As for Kent, I think the rates there are similar to Sussex, so expect something like ?150 for an hour, ?250 for two. That's for outcalls, incalls cost less.

Agencies like to be able to send girls over quickly, so living outside the area can be a problem, but if you're really keen there's no harm in asking. I have a friend in Brighton who worked for this terribly pretentious London-international agency, because she likes pretentious clients. Clients have to pay ?5k a year just to view the gallery, and then at least ?500/hour, but there are some that do it. I think my friend only ever got one bookings though (in Brussels: she flew over for an hour's booking and then they arranged a discounted overnight without telling the agency). I don't know if the agent wasn't bringing the work in in general or just for my friend, but since her commission is ?200/hour, it wouldn't matter to her if clients were sparse! She was never happy with my friend's photos and after a while my friend gave up.

I don't have an agency, from what I've heard I wouldn't want to work for any of the ones that cover my area, but it never occurred to me to find someone to find work for me when I can find it myself and keep all the money! Agencies are quite good for dipping your toe in the water, though, and there are listings online. Here's the punterlink list of London agencies, and those outside London. As you can see, there are many more in London. That doesn't mean you'll get more work in London though, the clients are divided up between hundreds of agencies, while the county of Kent just has a handful. I don't think you should be worrying about maximising your bookings yet though, you're only looking for a side income! Just get started, and if you're not happy with how things are going then try other options.

I just noticed that you said, "possibly my picture given on request". This may reduce the bookings you get. Everyone has a website now, there isn't really a distinction between agencies that advertise online and in print. Agencies do take girls that they promote only on the phone and certainly there are punters who'll be pleased to see the new girl (especially if they're regulars), or take whoever's working, but you won't have the opportunity to grab someone's eye while they're browsing. I don't know if agencies handle photos on request, but it is perfectly acceptable to have a photo where your face is hidden. If you didn't know that already, please look around. You only need to type "escorts" into google to see what's out there.

This shouldn't be a problem, she should already be declaring self employed income as a stripper.

hi shootingstars

my stories quite similar to your, started stripping, then moved to escorting, to pay for uni. I use an agency (Leeds based) and I only do incalls. I love it because I dont have to sort anything else out, I pay my commission for the apartment and the bookings, and I just wait for a text.  I found stripping much harder, having to work long unsociable shifts and the money isnt as good as it used to be I found. As for photos, I have no face shots, all very discreet. Once again, the agency sorted that out. One more thing tho, is that if ur housemates at college dont know what u do then a cover story is needed! I'm always going to "work" for a couple of hours then coming back with loadsa cash, so be wary, dont be flashing ur money round either, cuz theyll soon put two and two together!!!

Good luck
Sasha

haha! Yes it didnt go to plan, the market of 'girls for girls' simply isn't in demand unless another man is involved it seems - ah well - I guess it'll just have to stay a fantasy ;) And I am aware of commission for agencies, is this all you mean?
I already work as a stripper, so am aware of all other costs. no prob :P

God thats alot of agencies! Thanks so much but I have no idea how Im going to pick one - maybe I'll start asking questions for the 'Bi-girls agency' ;) lol. I think you are right, having my picture will increase the liklihood of me getting work, although I would prefer my face being blocked out, and my body on show ;)

thanks for the advice.. yeh Iv pretty much got my story of 'working in a bar covered',  and as for popping out for a few hours, I'll guess I'll just have to be discreet and just say 'Im popping out, will be back soon'. They'll get used to it sooner or later.

Btw, if you do incalls, does that mean you sit around in this building for a few hours hoping for someone to come in, or do you have to be booked for an incall from a customer first? Am thinking outcalls are better unless good london agencies won't employ me.
Maybe I'll pick one in london and one in kent

Oh dear, that's not true at all. I don't know where this misconception comes from but it's very common, I used to think it was true too.

Council tax is the only tax you're exempt from as a student; you have to pay income tax and national insurance just like everyone else if you earn enough to make you eligible, which I'm sure you do! You're supposed to register as self-employed no later than three months after starting your business, so if you haven;t worked any longer than that, no worries. If you have, you can either say you've only been working three months and hope the truth doesn't come to light, or tell the truth and hope they don't fine you. As long as you haven't been working so long that you should have submitted a tax return and paid them some money by now, you probably won't be penalised.

Incalls can mean either you just go to the flat when you're booked, or you spend a shift there. Many agencies don't provide incall facilities at all, and only offer incalls with escorts who can accommodate. If they do provide facilities they could use either system.

Thanks for the info, have only been working for a month so everything is fine, will get that sorted :)
I like the sound of incall and outcall, the listings you gave me for the agencies mostly have both which is good xxxx

Tha tax situation yeah i made that mistake, but fortunatley you shud be earning over ur tax free allowance (four or five grand i think) but unfortunatly means paying tax! My agency provides an accountant who helps us so thats quite handy, but it seems quite straighforward. and the stuff you can call expenses is incredible...underwear, makeup, haircuts, gym membership etc.

For incalls I get a call and go to the apartment for that time, so no waiting around. I have a friend in Manchester who does wait around with her agency, then they have a driver there who takes them to the outcalls for  fixed price.
