Go straight up, you're unlikely to be stopped if you look confident. If you don't see the lift immediately and go the wrong way, act like you're looking for someone in the lobby until you spot the lift. If an overzealous staff member stops you, just say you're going to see someone. You don't need to explain yourself to them.

In some cases you may need to say who you're visiting (in Brighton the hotels won't let passers-by in when it gets late for licensing reasons). If that happens things go more smoothly if you know the full name that your client has given the hotel.

A helpful thing to do is actually get him to tell you where the lift is before you go in.

Ok great I will do that its an evening. He did say he can do an overnight but as it will be my first time I thought I would go for an evening instead as I might have another lined up the day after so I will let you know how it all goes, thanks.

I can only speak from my own experience but I would never write off AW - I have, with a couple of exceptions (who were not bad blokes per se, just incompatible) met some wonderful men from there, been on some great trips and not only that have gained my most favourite regular (as well as a good number of others) from it. The feedback system is a great help - you can look and see if a potential client has feedbacks from other ladies (who in turn have plenty of proper feedbacks themselves and so on) when he contacts you and some of them (not many!) even fill in their profiles so you can get a bit more of a idea about them and their likes/dislikes before you meet them.

The site takes a fair bit of stick and it can be a bit like amateur night, but you don't have to take bookings from everyone who contacts you, it's like anywhere else - when you get messages, decide whether or not you would like to see the guy or just bin them. I do this with all the 'txt spk' ones, anyone who repeatedly addresses me as 'babe', and also all the ones who have cock pics on their profiles (although being a bit of an uppity cow, I generally reply to them first to explain in no uncertain terms why). I wouldn't be without it, personally - the feedback system can work well for you too especially when you're new.

It is worth pointing out that AW makes it easy for men to spot new advertisers - you can set up an alert for when a new profile comes up within your chosen geographical area. Make it clear to anyone who contacts you that while you are new to AW, you are not new to escorting (even if you are!) as unfortunately there are people who will try to take advantage if they think you're a bit green.

I am on PunterNet, Punterlink and also Capt 69 - I get the majority of my site traffic from the first two but to the best of my knowledge have never had a booking from C69. Don't know whether this is unusual or not! Seriously, I would give AW a try - ignore all the bareback-cum-slut ads and just write your profile how you would like it. You can link it to your website which always appeals to AW users as they can see you are genuine and not just a picture-seller. Good luck with your booking! (and always find out where the lifts are first - if it's a late job, make sure you also find out if they lock the outer doors at a given time or be prepared to brazen it out with the concierge!)

Great advice I will list on a few more sites and see if that works.

Amy it didn't even occur to me about late departures so to speak in the hotel I will have to check that out I have already rang to confirm it and she asked me for his address arrgg I said I don't know I am on business she didn't seem to care and that was that lol.

I will make sure that I won't put I am a newbie as I understand about the taking advantage bit as I wouldn't want that.

Going to get up and wake up a bit more then I will start listing on some more sites thanks for all the info.

This is the type of chancer you will get on AW when you are new - at best they are too lazy to read through your site and look at your rates (so why would you want to see them?) and the other one frankly, is taking the piss. Asking for a 'deal' when your rates are clearly specified is outrageous - if you reply at all (and I would), point out that you are not a market stall and your fees are not up for negotiation as you are worth every penny; it is worth adding this information to your profile if you haven't already as at least then you can't say they didn't know.

Asking for discount is very different to being offered it; I offer small discounts to very valued regulars (mates rates ), as I suspect other ladies do, but this is usually in the shape of overrunning booking time rather then reducing fees (and quite often runs to tea and cake after as I've got my baking head on since I decided to cut back a bit). I think a nice leisurely time spent not bothering with the clock too much is more appealing to clients than scratching and scraping over the odd tenner.
