My personal opinion is I'd knock the agency idea on the head, up my advertising and look at my prices to compare them with other local escorts offering the same services as myself.

Did you apply using your Indie name? Lots of agencies are happy to work with escorts who are listed with heaps of other agencies, but will just hit delete if they know you do independent advertising as well.

You could try changing your work name and using new pictures.

Hello,

Thanks for the replies!  Sourgrapes I rang the agency and told her I'm on AW only and she said that's fine as long as they get a cut if I take one of my independent clients to their serviced apartments which I said wasn't a problem.  If that was the case she really shouldn't have asked me to send the photos so all I can think is my non-professional photos/me in general didn't cut the mustard, but TrashAzn is right they haven't rejected me but not coming back in my eyes is much the same thing.

Thanks to Mature Helen and again TrashAzn, I think you are right, being independent has some serious advantages over agency but I just thought one weekly shift in an agency could be guaranteed money and I kind of want that now. 

TrashAzn, thanks I realise some men specifically will like me for being petite and Asian, and its not like I haven't had business but its once or twice every couple of weeks, and for mortgage purposes I NEED 2 a week.  I have made a really good impression with the guys I have met so they kind of would be regulars but my problem is they are all affluent business that don't live in London and tend to fly everywhere across the world.  Once guy I had yesterday loved me and said he will see me again in a few weeks so I know I am doing something right, but like I said its not regular like once a week kind of thing.  Regarding pricing I am quite a bit higher than other girls and my non-professional photos to be honest don't reflect prestige what my pricing demands, however in person I am quite beautiful and I do my hair, nails, wear designer clothing and lingerie with Louboutins so I like to think the package is high class but you're right, I'm not marketing myself enough as I'm only replying on AW and I admit I should have better photos.  I will get some done, I love the look of Ella Studios but haven't got ?1k to drop on photos (overpaying my mortgage is more important to me atm lol).

One thing I find odd/interesting/strange is that with these photos I seem to attract an inordinate number of mainly Indians and black men, irrespective of my price and photos.  I really believe I am too high priced solely for white men as if I was that unattractive surely all these Asian/black guys wouldn't bother with me?  I'm in London so not sure if that means anything, but I guess I need to make myself more marketable to white men (make myself fairer?!) lol.

Anyway I will stick being indie for the time being and try to advertise more and better, but if I am desperate I will try the agency route again (just not that one again grrrr lol).  Thanks for all your help

Do you have your own website? I think if you're aiming for the 'high class' market that's pretty important, as opposed to just being on AW.

LB, men (in fact people) regardless of race earn different amounts of money, are prepared to pay pay different amounts of money and are attracted to different things - you really need to get the idea that your prices are right or wrong for X or Y group of punters out of your head. What you will get depending on how you state your restrictions in your marketing is people who you've said you won't see viewing you as a challenge and trying their luck, in the same way that Wet Paint signs make people want to know if it's true or not .

I agree with everybody else that you really don't need a pimp, but I'll also say that the more restrictions you have which prevent punters from seeing you, whether it's very high pricing, lack of availability or blocking large groups of people is obviously going to seriously affect the amount of work you get. As Kay says, AW is not going to be enough - if you want to make money, you need to spend it if only to give the impression that you're offering more than the thousands of other very nice, pretty and intelligent people offering the same services you are at half the price.

The only other thing I'll say (and I'm going on your posts on the thread about anal too) is that if you don't feel able to give punters a good service unless you are attracted to them, you're going to have a miserable time. Prostitution isn't about having great sex with people you fancy, and part of the reason you're being so handsomely paid is for not judging your customers.

Thanks Amy for the advice (and from posts before where you have helped me) but with all due respect I don't agree with the last paragragh.  I don't judge any punter, in fact i respect the money for service aspect which i never got in dating guys as they pretended to like me to get sex for free/cheap lol.  Ive had a couple of older white businessmen and whilst yes they weren't as attractive as the younger, hot guys ive had, i actually still really enjoyed the sex as i love getting licked, fucked, sucked etc..  Ofc its not perfect sex but theres something superficially arousing about having a man do sexual things with me,me dressing up, wearing lingerie, using toys etc, so i actually really love escorting for that reason (once the fear of meeting strangers dissipated which i knew you helpfully assisted me on on i think my first post!).

I was referring to the part of your first post where you mentioned groups of punters you don't want to see because of 'sexual preference', and pointing out that our sexual preferences aren't relevant here. It's judgemental because you're not taking the individual members of a group as individual people but instead lumping them all together as if they're all the same, which is what I meant. That doesn't mean it's either right or wrong or any sort of a criticism, just that I thought it (using your personal preference to decide whether to see paying customers) was a odd thing to do .

Hi Amy,

Sorry my mistake, i hear what your saying.  I guess it is judgemental and tbh i wish it wasn't the case as i have lot SO MUCH business its unbelievable.  In about 2 weeks i have had calls from around 40 indian and some middle eastern guys and whilst not all would convert into bookings it is still includes potential leads and what is sad is that some of those indian guys are SO nice and seem despondent i wont meet them rather than offended in any angry way.  I am lucky i have never had any abuse regarding my stance, racist or otherwise. 

Miss Bentley thanks for being so understanding - i do unfortunately find indian men quite frankly physically repulsive but i think its because ive grown up with them, i mean they ARE my kin to a certain extent.  Like my community elders, my cousins etc ... strange as i know white girls are related to white men but still see white men and it doesn't cause issues, but for me it does?!  then again it just could be i find white men so good looking, even the ugly ones i can find something attractive about them, but indian i really cant even though some of them truly were lovely on the phone.

I think as Miss Bentley says i will try in a different area, London by its nature is so heavily multicultural and i am in a borough with tonnes of Asians lol.  Anyway lastly i just want to say i hope i didn't offend anyone myself, i am an Asian (not indian but similar) myself and i love my community and am proud of being who i am and my culture (after all in relates to my family), i just quite frankly love white cock lmao all you white girls are sooo lucky lolol x
