Newbie to the industry, ready to get crazy!
« on: 29 October 2012, 02:30:30 am »
Hello girls!! You can't believe how happy i feel for finding this forum.
So, let me explain you my short story.
I just arrived in London 1 month ago, without much money in my pockets. Things haven't been so well for me so i decided to become an escort for a while, until i find something on my studies.
I'm 25 years old, quite pretty, without experience but i really enjoy having sex. Because in my country, i'm a bit well-known because of the job that i used to do there and especially because of my family which is really traditional the main subject for me, it that i didn't want my photos to be puplished online. As i discovered few days after starting my search, this fact is really difficult in this industry. So, i went to a professional photographer, and i took some photos, which i cropped and blured by myself. (to be honest, i don't trust to send my face to agencies). The result is that i sent the photos to more than 20 agencies (i also sent a portrait of my face with, but only the portrait) and i don't have until now any response. In one week i would have to pay my rent, and i don't have any money at all! i'm ready to get mad. Please advice me, what do i have to do, to find an angency or some clients, as sooner as possible? I really need those money, and i don't know what else to try. I bought underwear, sex toys, i read more than 100 articles, i'm totally ready to start but i can't find anyone to help me.

Thank you very much, and sorry for the longlenght message.

Hi. It is entirely possible to get work without facial pictures, so have you considered:

#1 - Forgetting agencies, and starting marketing yourself. There is lots of advice here about doing that.

#2 - To make the next rent, doing some shifts in a brothel. There is... :)

Diana, sorry if this sounds obvious but why don't you make yourself a profile on adultwork.com , You don't have to put a face picture and guys seem to love new girls  :)

Just make sure you do your best to safety check your clients and weed out any time wasters. stay safe x

Hi and welcome.

 I don't think many of us have had much experience being pimped out at brothels and those of us who have certainly would not advise anyone to go into agency/parlour/brothel work.

 I for one would not recommend it! From experience!

I think the best thing to do is to make a profile on AW. as has been suggested.

It's free, simple and there's a handy app for the iPhone :)

 I have never shown my face and I advertise myself as I wish. I have my own do's and don'ts and I charge my own rates. It's fab being indie :) Try it, you might like it ;) xxx

What are your rates? Are they right for your area? Have you thought about offering a special or discount?

As others have said get an AW profile quickly.  Also check the rates of girls in your area who have plenty of feedback (they are the ones you can see are busy although no feedback is not an indicator as some people do not book through the system)then set your rates to similar to them. 
If you have a unique service or attribute or USP, i.e things like squirting, very large boobs or anything that sets you apart from everyone else play on that. 

By selling your USP ad setting a reasonable rate for the services you offer you should get work very quickly.  You do not need face photos if you do not want, although perhaps send one if they make a booking and state on your profile you will do this might help get work quicker if you are in need of money right now. 
If I ever need money quickly I do a 'special' where between certain hours they get ?20 off etc.  When we first start we have to work out what rate suits us but that is also not too high for the services we offer and eventually we find a price that not only suits us but gets us the amount of clients we want to see each day/week.
The main thing I can say and others may not agree with me is do not set the price too low as clients will think something is wrong BUT do not set the price too high either.  The average price in my area (not London by the way) is between ?90 and ?120.  I do believe London is a little bit higher between ?100 and ?150 for the majority of escorts although some do charge more and some less.  It is up to you but if you need clients quickly set a reasonable rate which you can always change later when you get on your feet
Truth is far more important than what one wants to hear. With truth there is no us and them or colour or religion there is just fact

What is your hourly fee? In London, you're looking at a reasonable incall price of about ?100-?150 per hour, a little more for outcalls, and maybe more if you offer specialist services or have beautiful model-like looks, figure, poise etc.

We're now in the run-up to Christmas, so the market is going to be more flooded with new ladies than at any other time of the year, plus the men will have less to spend as the family's financial needs come first. If you're priced too high, especially as a newcomer to the biz, you're likely to have a lot less work or interest than ladies a little cheaper.

Oh my God, you are fantastic! Girls, i love you!! :)
Right now, i'm setting up my profile in AW, i didn't know since you told me about this site.
I'm ready to finish but is asking for a confirmation photo with my face. Do i have reasons to worry about this photo? I don't want to be published.

Confirmation photo??
Is this new?
My profile is four/five years old and I don't remember having to send a photo, although I may well have done and just forgotten.

That's what exactly they ask for :

"
The verification photo will allow bona fide and authentic service providers to be distinguished from those that may not be.

Service seekers can evaluate your verification photo alongside any other pictures or content that you have included on your profile and make decisions accordingly.

The requirements are stringent so that those that do not have permission to use pictures or that might be using outdated content will be unable to provide a suitable photo, thereby giving the service seeker an insight as to their authenticity or at least the relevance of their content.

You must be fully clothed, no nudity.
 
Your face must be clearly visible although you may obscure your eyes if desired.
 
You must be holding a piece of paper with the word AdultWork.com and the date written on it.
 
You must upload your photo within 24 hours of the date that you've written.
 
There must be no text or contact information on the picture, except your nickname, if desired."

I think she means the verification photo - it's not essential for UK ladies, but may be compulsary for Europeans...?

Diana - you can choose to have it hidden. Make sure you tick the box to hide it.

Sorry for forgeting to answer. My rate is 200. I saw many pictures all those days, i'm really slim, quite tall, and as they say mediterannean pretty. I think that this is a good price for my appearance, to begin with.

OK, if you're happy with the price and you get enough work to cope with and pay the bills, then great :) Just be aware that it is rather more than the "going rate" in London, so if you don't get the amount of customers/cash that you'd like to see, be prepared to think about dropping the price a bit.

Good luck! :)
