Hi everyone

I am in a bit of a pickle! I use the flat my partner and I live in for incalls, and it has worked pretty well until recently. There is a concierge at reception, but I generally see a fairly low volume of clients and have got around it in the past by calling down to announce my guest and asking for them to be shown straight up. In recent weeks however the concierge has turned nasty and has blocked a few clients coming up, so I have had to go down and collect them, which has been extremely awkward. This led me to speak to him and he basically inferred that he knew what was going on and wanted it to stop. I have been too nervous to do another incall since this conversation. Happily we are moving on from that flat in around a month as the landlord is returning.

However, we are going to be doing some long-term house sitting for friends and I won't be able to offer incalls there either.

Easily 90% of my business is incall. The obvious solution would be to book a hotel for a couple of days a week. But I am somewhat loathed to pay out for this as I when I have done so in the past I have been left out of pocket. Despite reducing my rates, bumping up my advertising and having a fairly full diary when I checked in, most of the clients either cancelled or didn't show. I know a lot of girls work successfully this way so I may have just been unlucky and need to give it another shot. It was certainly an unprecedented percentage of cancellations and no shows as compared to when I work from home.

I would be really grateful though if anyone out there is making this work on an outcall only basis and wants to share any advice!

Since I switched my AW to outcall only a couple of days ago I have not had a single enquiry. I am sprucing up my page and trawling through the reverse bookings, but no luck yet....Enquires from my website have also dropped off since I took down the incall option.

I have considered agencies again, but being over 30 and a size 14 means, in my experience, that they aren't interested.

I will take a look at the sugar daddy sites too....

Also .... Massage?! ..... Craigslist?! .... Any other directories used heavily by visitors with hotel rooms?!?!

The essential loss of incall has coincided with me upping my financial targets in order to try and get some extra money together for uni, so any advice is greatly appreciated!!!

I do outcalls only in my area usually only get 3-4 clients a week, my mainly income is tours though so not bother about that a lot. And I would suggest you can advertise in advance if you book a hotel room.

I've only been working a couple of weeks and can only offer out calls . I've had many call but when they realise it's out call only there not interested, either that or ask if you would do a quicky in car cause they won't pay for a hotel or I can't go to theirs.

I'm the opposite - I've been outcall only until now and I'm only just going to start taking incalls at my new place next month!

For me it worked fine, though was a bit of a pain as I don't drive. When I did hotel days, I would message everyone who had every messaged me on AW ever who hadn't been a red flag in any way (takes a long time to do this) to let them know that I was going to be in a hotel in the city centre, and the dates, then not booked until I had enough interest, then set up available today as well as a big notice on my profile and mobile number on display. Half cancel, but another half message last minute asking for a booking, so you should be very busy! As long as you don't mind doing a conveyor belt day. Besides that, it's one every couple of days on outcall basis, though I guess it is easier if you can travel further (I frequently turned down as bookings were too far, or too short for me to want to travel that distance).

Good luck!

I do outcall only and I do perfectly fine. Im usually pretty books up most days (I say I dont work thursdays and sundays as everyone needs a rest from time to time) and have a lot of regs that see me on the same days / times so i book other appointments around them. Most of my bookings are usually 1-2 hrs, 3 hr dinner dates or over nights.

My experience is very similar. It ends up compensating with the fact that most of my bookings are longer than an hour/dinner dates. Also, building up regulars is a good idea. It can be quite fun as well going out/to the theatre etcetera.

My question is how do you make occasional incall days work without being out of pocket? Apart from announcing at least a week in advance on as many forums as possible, spending much more money on advertising, what else?

There is no right answer to a lot of these type of questions,

I recently stopped off in Oldbury, West Mids on the spur of the moment, I had advertised to be in Heathrow the following day. I changed my profile about 10.30am and my first booking was at 1.30pm, my arrival time at the hotel. I was so busy and could hardly squeeze everybody in, I actually did more "paid for time" than hours I worked. I left at 9pm having done my last booking at 8.30pm and went home. I did not bother working in Heathrow the next day.

Another time you will have advertised for 3-4 days prior to working, taken 30+ calls from guys that desperately want to see you yet on the day do very little.

All you can do is do what you can to promote yourself and trust to luck. The more exposure you have about yourself the more in demand you are likely to be.

The situation with the incall days is a hit and miss as business comes on its own if you get my drift. It doesn't always happen there and then.  With out calls I only get a few a week but concentrate with the incalls.
