Thanks for the tip, will definitely check it out! I think I need some new pics up too as the ones I have at the moment are not ideal and doesn't show me at my best, so hopefully that will help get the guys in. My phone was constantly ringing in Jan and Feb, so something has definitely changed, seems I'm not alone in this and you have to work harder to meet your targets, London is full of potential punters after all!

Everyones target is different, I work part time and my target is to see 1-2 guys per day to pay the rent, my student loan and still treat myself to nice things and go out with friends. If I was escorting full time my target would be higher, but at the moment part time suits my life best as when I was escorting full time I didn't really get out of the house much because I was afraid to miss a booking. Some girls see a 5 a day, some 5 a week and others 5 a month.

Currently happy with incall targets, outcalls need work. I am based in south London

I recently increased outcall rates and have increased calls and bookings from central London particularly Victoria , London Bridge and Waterloo areas.

PS you should see the penthouse apartment i was in last night FANTASTIC.

I reckon theres no rhyme or reason to it and as for those jokers on AW reverse booking taking the p with prices feel for the girls that bid on them, they cant be happy with some of those prices.

Charging more [or less] does not make you any less a target for guys who wish to treat you badly, rob or attack you. In fact some would argue it can make it more likely since as we know from the assumptions thread, some guys think if you charge ?150 per hour you are earning that every hour of the day, cramming client after client in - or if you have nicer premises that you are therefore more likely to be 'loaded'(not so if you have higher bills to pay).

Very good point Strawberry. This is one of the reasons I?ve said on my profile I only see a very limited number of customers a day. I don?t want anyone to look at my profile and think to themselves ?oh she must be popular/busy, let?s go and rob her?. I never leave any cash in the premises (with back to back bookings I have a system to get the cash out after each appointment but probably best not to rave about that on an open forum) so worst case scenario if I was the target of an attempted robbery, all the guy would get back is his own fee. I read on another thread that some ladies have money for change waiting for customers. I don?t and if they ask why, I?ll explain "sorry for safety reasons flat is completely clear of any money". No one?s yet quibbled about having to pay an extra tenner and again it reinforces the impression (I want them to have) that I?m a crap target for a robbery.

Unfortunately this doesn't put everyone off, some guys don't read websites fully, others assume you are lying to try and create an image.

Exactly. No offence but that's what guys think and then genuine girls like me who really only do choose to see a couple of clients a day max and only work a few days a week and never do back to back bookings out of choice are not believed and they just assume we say to 'keep the punters happy' and that 'you wouldn't possibly turn down the cash!' which is extreamly annoying.

''Are any you girls with agencies? I advertise on AW aswell as being wih an agency, My AW has been quietish lately but im non-stop with my agency to the point were im like " no more men!!!"

just an idea x''


Do you mind me asking which agency you're with? I am just starting out and I am looking for a reliable and trustworthy agency. PM me if you don't mind sharing the information

Can I ask how you manage to hit that target everyweek? That's a hell of a lot of bookings (more than I would ever want) but obviously good money.

Well this is a matter of opinion. I think it?s a good/average number. It?s less than 3 customers a day. I never said every week without fail I met that target. Like everyone I have peaks and troughs but I try to get as close to my target as I can every week. I don?t always achieve it, sometimes it 11, 12, 15, 18. My worst week was ONE booking for the whole week!!!

I?m sure the more established/popular girls probably look at that figure and scoff ? I?m sure by some people?s standards, I?m positively a lazy cow!

But I?ve never been concerned about what anyone else is doing and trying to measure myself against those standards because it?s pointless. There are too many variables involved to make it a worthwhile exercise.  I?m taking this number of bookings presently because of the goals that I?ve set myself for the next 12-18 months and the current financial obligations I have to meet. I need serious money to turn those goals into reality! If I limited myself to one or two bookings a day, I?d be lucky to achieve them by age of 70 (very scary thought). In an ideal world I?d be happy with 10 bookings a week but then it would take me longer to get to where I need to be .

Anyway, in response to your question, I thought about what factors affect the number of bookings I get and this is what I think:

a) working all hours of the day (sometimes you?ll see me posting on here at 2am while I?m waiting for an app! Lol)
b) I work 7 days a week
c) I?m advertising on a zillion sites not just AW
d) I offer a lot of other services which more and more girls don?t do (not talking about BB) which opens me up to more bookings
e) I?m not super restrictive when it comes to choosing customers, I don?t restrict whole sections of the male population on factors which aren?t relevant to me. All I ask for is good manners
f) I?m in the happy mid range of pricing ? not too expensive not too cheap.
g) I do have regulars to rely on (not loads but enough for the period of time I?ve been working)
h) I also want to say something about how I feel my ethnicity is a factor but can?t seem to find the right words, so rather than type a half baked response (and possibly get my head cut off) I?ll just say it?s a factor that works in my favour


I hope that is of some help to anyone reading, if not at least I got the opportunity to improve on my typing speed


EDIT: Forgot to add I?ve also been working less than a year so maybe I?ve still got beginners luck? Like LadyJennaJ I'm based in London

for me i tour -  i generally do 2 weeks then home for 4 weeks as a rule
so now its two weeks in ireland  home for 3 weeks  then Norway for two weeks then home for 4weeks the Ireland  ect   I have a few other place that i go to as well during the four weeks but they are local to me

i find by not being as availble in bristol where i live and have a lot of regulars as long as i keep up with my mail shots and advertising when im away i am pretty busy when i get back as they know im only back for a few weeks 
Same for when i tour as im not there all the time ie every 8 weeks or so i find it works out really good for me
generally if im touring i want to make a min after overheads of 600- 700a day  if im at home then i want to make around 300 a day working 5 -6 days a week
but  i only work till 7pm but if i get a booking from a regular or a good booking  then i will go back over on weekend and evenings

i anwser my phone even when im not working most of the time new photos every 3 months and lots of advertising on plenty of sites


 

Hello Girls,

The period is so hard for me as well , before I had a flat in central london , I was doing outcalls and incalls (working via AW) sometimes, was 160 but was going to increase my rates to 180 because i was busy and I could be selective! ( just seing 2/3 clients MAXIMUM a week for 1 hour 2 hours hours booking). Due to some events , I have been depressed and I have stop working for 2 months(not a good idea to work when you are down) for travel a little and change my mind. Now I am back in london, feeling better and ready to escort again ! My AW profile is here but no work at all!!!same with my rates going down to 140 per hour. I had to leave my flat and go to flatshare ;/ I cannot really afford a pro glam shoot (someone tell me that it will be a good thing for me) Now I am considering agency but I don't where to apply! (i heard terrible things about agencies) .If some girl could have a look at my profile (i could send it my private message) , giving me advice about agencies or anything would be really great.thanks. xxxxxxxxxx

Glamorous photoshoots are nice to look at but most men want to see the real you not photos that look like they are from a magazine or made to look better than they are. Its nice to have a few of them but natural nicely taken pictures are just as good. You dressed in clothes you would wear daily pretty lingerie etc. in a nice background. Don't spend what you don't have. Just buy a nice white bedset and dress and pose in various pics wearing nice shoes and stockings guys love that.

Make sure the area you are taking the photos in is clutter free it just looks much nicer. Also if you have a nice chair or chaise lounge you could take a few photos posing on that. Take quite a few and put up the ones you really like.
