Dead in Essex but I'm not surprised because so many girls have come this way to work, I'll have to find another area to do a mini tour before the school holidays. Definitely a drop in new clients even at a lower rate. With petrol going up I wonder if clients will not travel as far to visit their HL and stay closer to home. And today I've got the idiot TW having a chance.

If i worked like i would never tour. 4 years ago though i did used to get advance bookings and even without showing a number on my ads for a few months. Now days it's very rare apart from a few regular guys that might book me.

Your post made me think, EG... I decided to do something I wasn't doing before. To display my number on AW.
(Yes, it's a work number but I really didn't want to show it to everyone. Like, I don't know these people, I don't really like them, I'm not giving them my phone number. :P
Also, I was relying on advance bookings and thought that if a client wants to book, he will make an effort and message on AW or email.
Wrong. So many wrong assumptions.)
Anyhoo, after I showed the number, the phone started ringing. It was wild. It felt like I finally found where the party has been happening all this time.
Things were all right.

But... fast forward. On this particular, recent day, I had no advance bookings. Previously, I would have tried to cancel the hotel but now I thought that I shouldn't be a wuss and the bookings will come on the day.
They didn't. I changed the photo and set up all the AW bells and whistles. The profile got more hits on that day than ever, I think. People were looking. But they were not booking >:(
My phone was not broken as I received messages from a guy whose I would guess main life achievement was amassing an impressive amount of warning reports.
I ended up ordering a 2-days worth of calories from the room service.
I went back home with a deficit of money and a surplus in calories. Rethinking my life now.

The moral of this long story is that it's slow at the minute.

My own phone number is only displayed on AW for 2 days out of every 7 which saves my sanity but I am very low volume by choice so that suits me. My regs are my mainstay with a few newbies occasionally.

Of all the men who browse or search AW I imagine only a small percentage are signed up members so if no phone number displayed by the sps they're interested in they can not contact you so will move along to those they can phone or text.

If you are relying solely on AW and looking for regular/higher volume clients then displaying your number may be the way to proceed and persevere with to get feet through the door.

One more Rodeo you got unlucky with it just being quiet and not working on your trial go. Overall it does get more in by having number up when you need to work but weird times at the moment and things are definately not the same changes of patterns happening.

My days: Slow, Very slow ...
Lots of calls, SMS, but no one is coming. Yesterday 1 half an hour, today 1 half hour and a 15 minute.
I see in a short time decent escort work dies in the UK.

1. A lot of girls now come from Eastern Europe (especially Romania) and Brazil with little or zerio English, language skills.
2. They make their prices terribly low, and that makes guests  to bargain about us as well. :FF
3. They advertise with fake images, so guests are already skeptical of our ads.
4. Viva street and Adult work have become unreliable for guests due to false profiles.
5. Guests who have no report on the client eye lost.
6. Due to the high price of energy, fuel and food, there are a lot of time waster calls and sms, but real bookings are getting less and less.
7. It's not worth hiking anymore. Apartment and hotel prices have skyrocketed. :'( :'(

The above depends on whether you view migrant sex workers charging rock bottom rates as your competition; they aren't mine any more than the Soho walkups or party organisers are. Prostitution has existed as long as humans have, and I doubt that's going to change any time soon.

There have always been and will always be people charging more and people charging less; just as there have always been some punters are price sensitive and some who are not. If price mattered that much, most people here would have no bookings (including me, probably). It doesn't.

Was very unlucky today, was suppose to have 5 bookings (something that hasn't happened in ages lol) but.......one of them cancelled 10min after I gave the address, two of them confirmed and then disappeared, one of them did a no show without notice and the last one who finally managed to come was full of genital warts so had to tell him to leave.....I was supposed to exceed my target but ended up making £0  >:( >:(
What's wrong with these people seriously

Amy.  Reading your comments , I see you are as a very smart and intelligent person.  I don't consider them a competitor either.  But their "existence " and "work morale" make our work very difficult.  It became completely different than it was a year , or a half ago.  I need to do more marketing to be able to offset the changed circumstances.  Now just the aw profile is not enough.  Complex marketing is a must if I don’t want "zero revenue " days on my tours.
Which when  I would be at a losses.  I still see that tour work is already on the border when the ratio of expenses and income makes me  think maybe , I about stopping it  close future.

This pattern of behaviour seems to be getting common — happened to me a few days ago

I think there is more competition now whatever you charge. I actually saw a post in a private group the other day about a dingle mum turning to sex work because of needing the money. I hope she finds this forum. I didn't want to say anything on there.

Hope your next work day gets busy

I don't think only eastern Europeans or Brazilian girls have "low morals" or our "existence " is taking bookings from you.
Maybe you should advertise more or the area you're in it's not good / it may be very slow. And like Amy said, prices has nothing to do with clientele base. Some pay more and some pay less...

And please don't put all the girls( EE, brazilians etc.) in the same pot, because it's not the case.
