Raising rates and advertising
« on: 15 April 2019, 05:09:04 pm »
Hi everyone

I've been working for two years on between £120- £180 p/h and while I'm grateful for those rates I really want to take it up a notch. Does anyone have any advice on how to work on £250+ an hour in London? I don't think AW is the place to advertise on these rates. I would consider joining an agency as well. I have a website but am really struggling with fi ding the right sites to advertise on. Any ideas?

Thanks xxx

If you join an agency they will take thirty percent so you would need to be £350 an hour. I’m my opinion just try it if it works for you then fine. X

I work basic for £120 per hr on AW. I have a separate personal website with £250 per hr rate and some clients go for that too. I have an online booking system and they find that convenient. My website is nothing special.  I'm not a super-model ;D there's only 1 photo, no face or nude, I make it clear they're paying for a high quality customised service.

I've joined several agencies and found them nice as cherry pie when you join then increasingly abusive especially when I haven't complied with 'company policies' like-

-doing 'free' owo on every client without discretion (if not you can't join, clients will report you)

-buying crates of wine to entertain their clients ???, (they cultivated a team of depressed, alcoholic escorts from the owner to the receptionist)

-being pressurised to see males who I said I wouldn't see under any circumstance ie '...he's round the corner you've got to see him now or you can leave the agency'.

Those are just the pimp wierdness of 3 different agencies!

I don't think they screen properly or at all, share your address with undesirable men and aren't bothered if this puts girls in dangerous situations. Lots of threads on agencies here. Do the experiment then you can judge for yourself. Interesting to know how you get on.

Many take a lot more than that.  (I speak from experience).

I fully disagree with that, I see many many 250 (and more) independents an hour in central London area on aw. They have plenty of reviews and seem to be quite busy. however... you will have to upmarket yourself a notch, as in fancier pictures and fancier website and look a bit more posh. It's all about perception:-)

It's all about your marketing: website; ads; photos; the grammar you use; the way in which you respond to enquiries; how quickly you respond to enquiries (or, not leaving them hanging for days) - everything must be professional and flawless.

Then you get to the physical service. No point buying more expensive pants if your website's shit.

I think if you really want to go upscale, it's a case of SEOing the shit out of your own website. I don't think anyone targeting the high end would be on any directories with the hoi polloi like me. It's about your own site, Twitter and probably Instagram.

I saw someone's site today: a girl in London who is apparently a swimwear / underwear model charging £1500 for 2 hours - AND SHE GETS IT  ???

So, there is a market out there it seems but some serious hard graft has to be put in for website and constant Twitter.

I think for 250 an hour you can do well on AW as long as you get a new photo shoot done of professional looking photos make sure to wear expensive lingerie and shoot at a luxury room or pool
why have cotton when you can have silk???

 :D

OP what part of London are you in? If you're in an upmarket area you'll stand a better chance of getting those rates (because people who live there have the money to spend.)

1. Don't work in London
it is cheaper than North of England we charge here 200 per h 300-400 for 3h 600-800 night
2. Keep high rate for short time low rate for long time
less time wasters more quality clients, probobly for outcalls, I know you will say London is a tragedy for outcalls because it is big.. possible but one or two good outcalls should sort your day.

3. If you have to be in London .. forget viva and all those rubbish websites
advertise as high end girl 600 pound ine h 1500 dinner date 3000 night
have your own web page and advertise only on high end sites

What high end sites would you recommend to advertise  on. I'm looking to up my rates but adultwork doesnt seem like the place for me sadly

Main thing is a proper website.
You can do it in Wix or build it in joomla and keep it on amazon servers.
Google position seo - pay someone or try your own , if you have skills. Check other girls websites, disclaimers, offer. You can try active escorts, eros, london independents, euro girls, leg, blue velvet girls might be agency but not sure, each website cost a bit.. If any of you plan to work for less than 400/h,1k/3h, 3k/night, do not even bother with advertising there. Many advertise 600/1,5k/4,5k. There are only girls who advertise mild, they do not post anal swallow rimming spanking..etc When I see 200-250 there - it is not high end enymore.. but it is on Viva West North where you get 200/h easy, making 60-80k/y outcall only.Not bothering with cheap incall with high accommodation cost.
  Would I reccomend to work in London? All depends how far you wanna go  ;)
  What  I would reccomend? To read MINIONARE FASTLANE book.
  Use for now that easy escort London path but build your welth
in your fast lane.. because we can't be an escort all the time..

I wish all You girls good income, low cost and retire in 5 years time.

ps. Jacking our job - not having profitable business after - is not a way I talk about.
  When you read the book you will know what I mean. The book changed my life.

Hi everyone,

Thought I'd give you a heads up. I've decided to stop working in London for a while as I am literally getting no bookings  :-[
Its on average £400-500 a week rent (either through a hotel or in a working flat) and despite being on Eros, Cherry girls, Tryst and Slixa I was still getting two phone calls a day if that. I have pro photos and a good website as well. don't know whether London is dead, if it's me or if the demand just isn't the same as in Manchester.

I'm still going to go back maybe once a week in a month's time but it's been a real struggle. I really don't know how high class escorts who charge £300 an hour do it! xx
