I only offer outcalls to hotels too, I'm based in South Yorkshire and offer an hour at ?150. Only offering outcalls means I'm less likely to get bookings and I usually get 1 per week, I am hoping this will increase more as I have been made redundant in my normal, civvy job this week and I am now available all day, every day.  I do camming on the side a few days a week and I can usually earn ?200 plus per week..

I'd your able too, stay at a hotel/apartment on days your free and take incalls from there, advertise the days you will be staying there a week or two beforehand, try and get some definite bookings in advance ... This may help.   Xx

No I like it harsh!! Haha...thank you. I like this forum because advices are candid and no sugar coating.

I appreciate your advice and you are certainly correct, I can't ignore market forces.

I know from my little experience in the industry now, reading this forum and doing other research that I have done everything I can to start getting work, except reduce my rate to 150. So I made this thread wondering whether there's was something else have missed or not doing, but from everyone's input so far, there's nothing, except my rate. And that's the market forces I'm ignoring.

Like I said in my previous posts, whether I will become a 150 hottie and have some good fun like you wonderful women or pack it in is a decision I'll have to make.

Thanks again.

It's fine saying it's not worth it to you for less than ?250...but you may find its not going to be for you in that case.

There's those who refuse to work for less that 500 an hour and there's those to refuse to work for less than 50 an hour. You don;t need to give anyone explanations. If you're going to make the same or less money escorting than you do at your actual job then i agree with you that escorting may not be worth it. I mean.. You can ask for advice here but expectations and business models are different for everyone posting here. What may not work for you might work for some lady operating in some town on the midlands, so take the "advice" with a pinch of salt... :-)

One other thing..I see you mention that 'so far it hasn't effected' your self esteem. Nobody should ever, ever be attaching their sense of self worth to how much a man is willing to pay them for sex. Period.

paris, there's a market for the 500 an hour escort in central London, these are usually model looking young girls dressed to the 9's. And yes, they are busy (i personally know of  a few). I don't know the OP's business model or marketing so can't really elaborate, but market for the "high class escort" (or whatever posh name you want to insert) there is certainly one. they may not get 5 people a day, but 2 a week (sometimes more) that for sure.

however (to the oP): with limited hours due to a full time job and outcall only you're going to struggle girl   

There's a market for every price range and type of service imo (a smaller one for sky high prices and some types but it is there if you can market to it). 250 seems totally reasonable to me but I also agree with most previous posters outcall only is tough especially if your not established.

OP when you say limited availability how limited are we talking? People keep asking your rates and ads but they sound all in order from what you say, I'm wondering if your availability is geared too much to them working around your schedule?  To some extent clients will fit around you but there is a limit to how flexible they will be, they have lives and careers too. I charge no where near 500 but i charge enough when in London BUT I get one outcall a month solely bc I'm horribly hard to book due to other commitments, large deposits and I loath outcalls. My money is from incalls ?r the rare weeks when I am more flexible on times and dates. Can you try a hotel? Or apartment? I know incalls are different and of your nor used to it intimidating but if your in London you could just get a hotel deal and not stay just take bookings there? Also do you have anyone to duo with to make up some feedback/reviews/followers?

To conform with escorting pricing, I had to charge hourly and after researching similar lifestyle girls (not necessarily looks, but mainly background and SB turn escorts acquaintances) I settled on 500/hr ( the girls are charging up to twice that). But I agree, it was ambitious but they were doing well and I didn't realise it is a little different for women of colour (something I have come to admit only recently with enough evidence (please let not deraile the thread with this point))

So ego aside, hard business decision hat on, I repriced myself. But that's my answer to your question.

If I can't do well at 250, I might have to admit escorting is not for me after all. And that's fine. But offering my service at a price lower than am happy with is demotivating and takes away the sense of pride and achievement that entice me to the profession in the first place. It will becomes nothing more than any other jobs/profession which we do because it pays the bills.

I'm very passionate about becoming an escort and really want to make a success of it, hence my rate reduction and learning to be comfortable with much lower rate than anticipated, but I would no longer escorting if I can't command the minimum price I want.

Thanks for your reply Amy.
