Returning escort trying to get used to the digital age
« on: 28 March 2017, 02:05:43 am »
Hello ladies,
I am a mature escort returning to work after extenuating personal circumstances forced my hand. I have not worked since 2002 and now realise the business has totally changed. I only had to place an advert in The Sport and I was inundated with clients. However, those days are long gone. I am not in a position to pay for a website as of yet but it will be the first thing I acquire, if I earn any money from the Adultwork profile I am in the process of starting. I am an experienced escort and dominatrix who has meticulously maintained their health and looks. However, the degree I acquired was not IT related, although, I do have friends who can assist me when I posses recent, professional photographs. Apart from a time machine, is there any advice from all of you technological minded young ladies? In return I am able to offer advice surrounding psychology, law, criminology and sociology (in the event that a child may be studying for upcoming exams). I do know this is not a trading site for information and you ladies all help each other out wonderfully, who needs a trade union when we have SAAFE?? I thought I would offer something in return for some much needed assistance. XXX

Hi, I have been in and out the industry since the " old " days, it has changed a huge amount. There is an excellent thread on where to advertise, but also just to say, that genuinely good doms are in huge demand. Good luck

Thank you ladies and i's nice to know there is still a niche that has not been filled. Good doms always were in high demand. However, at present I don't have a fully equipped dungeon anymore, in fact, I don't have much at the moment, but with hard work and the correct marketing skills I intend to make a success of this business once again as I used to love it, especially in a dungeon; without all of the equipment to hand it doesn't feel right trying to make do in a bedroom.

Fortunately, my friend designs websites, which is very handy as I am a virtual technophobe. I am now waiting on my photographer to return from abroad then I'll be good to go, I think. Without putting my life story on here, as interesting as all working girl's stories are, I am experiencing a cash flow problem at present. My friend has allowed me to use her house and I wondered if I should start an Adultwork profile and go from there? my photographer will be away for three weeks. I know I could of earned a lot of money in the 'old days' in three weeks, but with all the competition and fantastic websites, would it be wise for me to build a basic profile on Adultwork with a couple of tasteful pictures, or wait until I have the website and professional shots?

Referring to the law and psychology help, I have so much information in PDF form that it would be a pleasure to help someone if they needed assistance. I am not a teacher or lecturer, I just have so much information on those subjects.

Whisper, there are a lot of clients who are too frightened to go to a dungeon, they are very happy in a domestic environment. When they see photos of pvc / fetish gear, they will call you ( hopefully).

If you are keen to get cash coming in and your friend is cool with you using her house, I don't see any reason not to get started. You will need about 30 quids worth of AW credits to display your phone number and buy Local Escort search for 3 weeks. A couple of selfies will be fine. In fact I think a lot of guys prefer selfies as they seem more "real", so I have been told by clients.

my advice would be to set up an AW profile and use selfies you will be new and should have plenty of interest. Good luck

As far as the domination side of things goes, although Adultwork does get me the odd booking, the dominatrix listing sites will get you much more, and a lot of them require you to have a website before they will put up a profile. So once your website is up and running, if you send me a PM, I can let you know the most popular ones to list on.  Not every lady works from a fully equipped dungeon, lots of people out there are just offering domestic settings and do very well with a little bit of equipment.

Keep your mobile on the whole time you can always put it on to silent and away in the cupboard for a few hours if you get tired of it ringing.  Make sure it is on display on your AW profile.

Hey Hun

I also do domination I personally don't use dungeons I just use a  hotel or a apartment as Dungeons could scare my clients away who aren't into Dom . I started working back in 2009 and things have changed a lot I was saying to my friend only last month I don't like all this technology now days when I got my iPhone a few years back I made sure I switched my location off as I know that has had a few of my friends caught out . Most guys do go on online as they like to see pictures put your piccys up write up bout your self what you do what you offer  ect and prices , also make sure who your working you click the available today section so they know your working that day you can also be featured As well there are a few options also maybe webcam could be some thing to think of doing webcam also you can add private gallery pictures and charge for them .

I remember those days when you could put a small add in paper and guys were happy with a discription now days they prefer to see pictures . Well good luck Hun need any more help feel free to inbox me X

Thank you vary much ladies, all of your advice has been taken on board but more importantly, greatly appreciated. I don't want to keep bugging you all but I have some further questions if you all don't mind sending a brief reply? Firstly, do you think it would be better for me to advertise my domination services on a separate AW profile? Secondly, the friend who's allowing me to use her property would like to join me in the bedroom. How would I go about advertising a two girl service without attracting unwanted attention from the authorities? Thirdly, I love the name Whisper, but after a conversation concerning ladies working names, it seemed that the men I know prefer a regular sounding name rather than Whisper and the name which my friend has chosen, which is Toffee; I love them both but, what do you ladies think? Lastly, does the phone number appear on AW immediately as I plan to be up and running on Monday?

Thank you all once again. XXX

I think it's actually not allowed, or not wise, to have two AW profiles - my advice would be to use tabs if you want to differentiate your services.
Lots of girls seem to advertise duos - I wouldn't worry too much about it.
You can advertise yourself as anything, but I think it's a good idea to have a 'normal' name so people can write, 'Dear Mary', not 'Dear Dripping with cum slut'
Your phone number will appear so long as you have the credits to pay for it.
