I'm from Newcastle and only worked here and surrounding areas. In regards to ebony girls  I'm white so I have no direct experience, but knowing the men round here and their tastes/opinions I wouldn't recommend it as the best area. They always seem to make some mention of the girls ethnicity if she's black when talking about her, such as "she's beautiful, if you're into black girls" , I just don't think it would be such a nice environment to work in, it even grates on me

I think they do that everywhere, to be honest.

Yes, I believe  you are right.  It will be said in reverse if visiting black girls, blond girls, brunette girls, EE girls .... The list is endless.  If a guy is there to see YOU its cos he likes YOUR kind if he has specific criteria.
Beauty is nothing to do with having a pretty face.
It is about having a pretty mind, a pretty heart,
And most importantly a beautiful soul.

Amy, you are obviously a very lucky lady but for many girls buying their own place is a distant dream nowadays, especially down South in London where the rental prices are crazy and its nearly impossible to buy here, especially when some girls aren't registered for tax or declare lower earnings etc.

Well I've been in business on and off for twelve years, so it can't all be luck :).

I do sympathise with people who can't afford to buy in London (and I couldn't either), but my point is that London isn't the centre of the universe and as the OP has asked, relocating to somewhere with cheaper overheads is an option she's seriously thinking about.

As for those not paying tax or declaring income honestly, I have no sympathy whatsoever. Less than that, even.

 I can recommend Cornwall, not so many clients but not many service providers either. Hotels & apts are too expensive peak season but you could rent somewhere that's not holiday accomodation. (Forget buying down here unless you are part of generation property hoard!  :FF )

It is a very white area here so I think an ebony escort could do very well. God knows we could do with a bit of diversity!  ;D

However if you are used to the london lifestyle you will be in for a massive culture shock as it is a different world down here.

*OP* what you will have to take into account is time for settling in and getting yourself established.  Depending on where you choose, if indeed you do move, i believe different areas will take different lengths of time to settle in.  Take this into account too.

You can have a successful sex work business in an oversaturated market you just have to be different and stand out from the crowd, find a unique selling point.  It's true, there are plenty of sex workers in London but there are also plenty of clients. Like any business, sex work is a full time business and involves marketing (and not just paid for). By way of example, make your profile and website different to everyone else's.

 Be different and stand out from the crowd.   ;D

Cornwall is brilliant as there's not really any girls there. I worked down there a few times last summer and always did really well.

Is it hard to find a place to rent there in the summer, or are hotels much more expensive?

I worked from an old farm house that most punters in Cornwall know about. It was great, the only neighbours were cows! The down side is you need to be able to drive as taxis are ridiculously expensive,

Chelmsford, Essex is a good area might need to do a bit of research not many ebony girls there.

It also depends on if OP sees black gentlemen or not - some ebonies prefer not to as they worry about being exposed to families etc. If OP likes seeing black guys then why not go to an area where a lot of black people live, there might be a good business there.

The thing is London tends to have a market for every kind  of weight, height, service or ethnicity. Its hard to believe that OP wouldn't be very busy, perhaps changing photos, search through what other ( successful ) ebonies in London offer in terms of price, service, and photos and go by that?

+1 from me on every score, especially having just paid my bi annual tax.  :o

That's just the thing its OK to say to WG's be unique or stand out from the crowd but how can you when there are many 1000's of WG's each trying to stand out and be unique. For example on AW (I know its not the be all and end all of punting but its where I can get some figures) Within 20 miles of the centre of  London (over 4000) Birmingham (over 1100) Manchester (over 1100) Glasgow (nearly 500) so you can see its not easy to stand out and be unique.
This country has in the last few years become saturated with WG's. especially from EE countries so today theres now many 1,000s of fit young 20 somethings, Milfs, Matures, Ebonys, Asians all offering punters their wares on their profiles, websites and directories in fact any place they think they might glean a punter from so again my question is what exactly can you say or do to stand out?
Free and paid for directories are sagging under the weight of WG's advertising there are 247 viva street adverts in Birmingham alone and god knows how many are in backpage. If you pay for advertising it seems not to make the slightest bit of difference all directories have dozens of agencies each offering dozens of girls along with hundreds of indies.
Its now all very top heavy and supply has definitely outstripped demand in many areas so much so its unrecognisable from how it was  in the last 5 years.
As someone who has been whoring on and off for 30 years that includes the golden days (pre mobile phones and the internet) I've seen many changes but my god its getting ridiculous out there now.
So to the ladies who are advising others to be individual or unique and to stand out do you have any ideas on how to accomplish that?

I live and work in Northwest London, where there are a great deal of Eastern Europeans. I have nothing against Eastern Europeans, however in North and Northwest London there are large communities of said people. This usually means a fair few working girls.
   I tend to see those sort of working girls as those who do it for a quick buck rather than the full service. Nevertheless I wonder if this is effecting business. I am too thinking of moving elsewhere.

Is the High Street getting saturated with coffee shops?  Are areas being saturated with gyms?  Nail shops?  Hairdressers?  All these business survive despite an increase! 

You simply can't say anything is getting saturated because we are all different and we appeal to different punters!   

You can't just sit back and wait for the business to come to you.  You've got to market yourself, you've got to advertise, you've got to do all the things frequently mentioned here on the website to promote your business in your own unique way, because we are all unique and there is no comparison.

It's also down to each of us to work on our business and aim to build up regular clients too, so that in quiet spells you have enough regulars to fall back on.............

London may be full of all sorts of working girls but look at the number of punters too! 

I also am about to pay a tax bill having passed everything over to my accountant and can't understand those that take risks by not doing so. 

With regards to buying a place to work from - if you can't afford that then do your homework and find suitable cheap hotels, which can be done.  I did it in the old days, something like Ibis Or Novotel I could easily get for between 35 to 50 pounds per day so come on girls, one hour's incall and you've no doubt covered your cost already.  It can be done.............. or failing that, do lots of research and find those that are prepared to rent you a room, by day or by hour - another option I took when starting out. 

It's all feasible and can all be done but it means hard work, and working to build up your business in the way that suits you best.

I constantly blog, I constantly update my photos, I constantly review my stats to my website, I constantly update my clothing and yes it costs money but I budget appropriately and it can be done on a shoestring.  It's feasible. 

Good luck.

I agree with a lot of that, the only dead days i'v suffered are those when i used to be sat in shit parlours waiting to be picked......since being independent i do very well and its because i advertise advertise advertise i don't think i have a unique selling point as the way i look and what i offer is readily available from 1000's of others but as well as the advertising i work bloody hard to make sure the guy wants to come back to me.....even though i'm touring i frequent the same areas in rotation and have started to build up regulars in lots of areas.
