I've simply signed up to every directory I can find. I've started reviewing how to SEO my site with keywords and am trying to get my blog going too. I've updated my photos on my ads and am trying** (Sigh) to make my words good. Your ad on a directory, it's the words and the pictures that'll get 'em first to your site, short attention span/first impressions. I get almost no emails, and really only get calls. Those are the only things I can think to suggest!! Hugs x

As for paid Ads, Forking out a fortune is not an idea I like either.

  I'd love to find out when you find out x

Lexi, have you signed up to Punternet? It is a paid listing but it's only ?12 a month. They're the biggest in the business and the original directory. Every time there's a documentary on telly re: the paid sex scene they get a mention. I get lots of traffic from them.

If you haven't yet, then give it a try. You get to advertise on their ladies announcements twice a month. You have a permanent listing (as long as you keep up payment on it) and guys can always find you using the search facility. When you join you'd be asked to write a small profile on yourself. Use words that would be picked up by their search engine. For instance I'd use "Black" "BBW" "London" and a couple of my specialist services. It's how guys have found me before.

yes it is a business and a business usually takes about 3 to 5 years to take really off, that are the average figures, and think how blessed we are in our business how soon it takes of and we are relatively well paid. whereas most other business start ups you work for free for a long time to get it started.

also all world speaks about the credit crunch at the moment, which might or might not affect us, i personally think it affects us less than other businesses, and i think our business and the entertainment one is the last that suffers,

i have an ad on AW and they feature you when you sign up initially, which is the same as you say being the new girl, which as i have noticed myself declines after time and than i had or have a similar situation as you where only occasionally is an email, or a booking.

with adult work you can get featured and i think that would help, thinking about it, it has the same affect, no a similar effect as when being the new girl. that's worth a consideration

i do agree given advertising a telephone number you can be called on definitely helps and i think most clients will call and few are writing an email address, also i think having means doing incalls helps.

i personally had to turn down to many wanting incalls and i hadnt the means doing the incalls and few were willing to pay for a hotel room on top of my fee, and i didn't wanted to pay for the hotel room really

also with me having a busy day job i have limited time where i actually can do a booking. and i wish i have more time and more clients soon

i hope that is of any help
