I am glad it is not just me affected. I was working from March to mid-April and business was great. Although the amount of calls died down steadily as more and more I lost my 'new girl on the block' status I still did well:
Mid-April to June I was not working yet when I returned in July it was tumbleweeds! As if the bottom had fallen out of the market or even worse - I was crap a what I do! That's when I started touring and was one again in demand as a new kid in town. At first I assumed it was the heatwave, then the World Cup, and then when it was still dead after the footy had finished, I assumed it was the summer hols with the family time. It's slowly picked up - and I mean slowly (1-3 calls a day and 1 client a day) but it still has me nervous. Especially as there's a glut of increased action around here - the market is getting oversaturated.
