I was away the other week too, came back and started with a stinking cold so decided to extend my break. Since then it's been steady however I am noticing a definite pattern of new clients making bookings, then not confirming on the day. I know that's the whole point of having a confirmation time, however when you've put guys off it's annoying then those who say you can contact them have already decided to do something else. I do ask to let me know asap if they can't make it.

Tomorrow I'm having work done at my place, so will be having another day off but it needs doing and will enhance it's general appearance which is always a nice thing for clients.

Its difficult to judge from what one person and another says.

Some people class 6 bookings in a weekend as busy, however if I worked weekends I would be looking for approximately 10 over the two days to be happy. We all have different levels of acceptance of busy and quiet.

I think we will find April is a slower month this year as schools are only IN for eight days in the whole month and if couples with families have to share responsibilities then guys who normally visit while they are working have to take days off work to look after children then they wont be able to 'nip away' to visit the local prossie.

Im a very mature escort and Ive found things fine up in Scotland. Cant talk for anywhere else though. Swings and roundabouts story again.

Grief, 10 bookings in a weekend as an average. That is a good week! I am available every day and up til 11pm at night. It has been so dead for the last 3 months it is not funny. But then talking to my escort friends they think I am really busy compared to them. I think on average I do pretty well, don't do quickies and hardly any 30min bookings.

As a matter of interest Lady Lust, are these long bookings? Maybe we are missing a trick, lol, so to speak.

I have been kept busy because of the Grand National this weekend but as others have said, it is all subjective and a couple of bookings a day are more than enough for a daily travelling outcall- only Escort and I am happy enough with just one or two lengthier ones in a week..

I have a couple of 3 hour bookings up at the Lakes this week, which makes me relax - both financially and spiritually!

I guess it is part luck and part Geography in many cases?

Location..Location..as they say

Hi Pandora

The bookings I take are from 30 mins to two hours. I dont think anyone is missing a trick

. I think it is all a matter of where you are located and the services you offer.

I only work around 4 days a week but on each day I work I expect to see 6 or so guys a day. Sometimes it is only 4 or 5 but that is only on a bad day.

I am located in central scotland with great access to many different motorways - though at the moment these are a nightmare due to motorways being widened. But along with that comes lots of workmen working away from home for long periods of time so guess who they come to visit. So what I may lose on one hand with guys knowing about roadworks and not wanting to get caught up in them, I get the workmen working on those roads. So really it is a win win situation and you wont find me complaining. Got to admit though it is not as good as it was a few years ago when I could be seeing 10/11 per day. No chance of that now.

I was really busy pretty much from Xmas up until last week when it suddenly went completely dead. I expected to be pretty busy because of the Grand National, but no. Very very strange as April is usually one of my busiest months.
I always go into a panic when it gets like this, but of course it always picks up again too.

I read somewhere a article in the, The Independent news paper that Poole's millionaires fail to save town from recession. Apparently it was badly affected by the credit crunch in 2009 people lost businesses and someone lost around 15-20 regular customers since Barclays made their cuts. Even my local charity shop has been suffering with no donations coming in. I dropped a lot of stuff I cleared out that I couldn't sell or want, they were pretty grateful !

HollyB · « **Reply #397 on:** 08 May 2011, 08:30:51 pm »

Hey all I haven't posted in a while because I have had about a 4 month break from escorting!

I lost my nerve and just kept a couple of regular clients going because I couldn't bare seeing new clients so I deleted my profile with 10+ feedback.

Anyway, long story short, grom August - December 2010 I was pulling in between 600-1000 a week doing outcalls 3-4 nights a week. I've come back to AW as I was bored and wanted a little extra cash (and I must say I have enjoyed it so far) so I set up a new profile with 2 non revealing but nice pictures (better than what I had last time!), a better worded profile and slightly lower rates. I have 1 feedback.

But it just seems that this time around there are no clients! I think at most I have made about 800 in 3 weeks!!

It just seems that last year I was turning clients down but this time around I am struggling to get new clients which is worrying becuase I know my profile is better this time around.

Is this something that's common this time of year? I live in Lancashire x

I have been fairly busy the last month after not working from Nov to Mar but depends on what you call busy I guess

For me more than 5 or 6 a week is busy, was double that last week

Most come from AW

I do think it's swings and roundabouts,could be dead this week, just no telling

Adultwork for me is absolutely dead (I work in Cardiff), apart from private gallery views. Even advertising the fact I now do incalls has done little to improve things- I don't think the fact I have no reviews there helps things. I get a few calls a day from selectanescort though and it went a bit mental Thursday and Friday, as well as vivastreet and my website so it's not been too bad. The annoying thing is the guys who ask what I look like- yes because you didn't look at the photos ONCE when choosing to ring me

. Oh, and the guys who ring me at 5am on a Sunday morning. I'd best stop there, this is turning into a "how not to book an escort" post, lol

Ive had my second booking in ten weeks today, I was seriously loosing faith. It was really good to
get back into the whole process of carrying out bookings. When I got home with money in my purse it inspired me to make a fresh start.

Well done. I had my first one tonight for ages and I bottled it. Totally lost my confidence. And he's a regular too. Lovely old guy. He'd come a long way...obviously not just to see me, but I was an added factor in his journey, and I feel just awful about it. So many things led to me bottling it though. Now I'm feeling totally crap. :-(

I've bottled a few jobs recently. My phone's doing well and I could have been really busy over the last few weeks. Instead of trying to work flat out I've been accepting only the nicest sounding of jobs, but most of even these I've found myself unable to go through with. It's not a loss of confidence, at least I don't think it is, and I really can't believe I've been so stupid as to mess up such lovely, well paying bookings. I seriously need to sort my head out as money's dwindling away. I'm amazed nobody's been slagging me on forums yet and I don't think my luck will hold out much longer.
I know what you mean about feeling crap Coty, I feel dreadful every time I let someone down. The loss of cash isn't what bothers me, it's the awful guilt of ruining somebody's day. Well today is the first day of the rest of my life and all that, and I'm going to pull myself together, stop disappointing and start earning.

Sweetshop_Girl · « **Reply #403 on:** 12 May 2011, 08:20:01 am »

The phone has been much slower this week, as I thought it would be after last week being very busy, still made my target for the week already but lost 2 jobs yesterday due to the clients being unable to make it but both have rebooked for next week

Hits on AW are way down so maybe most are skint after the 2 bank hoildays

Aww ((hugs)). It may be burnout? It doesn't always happen just because of seeing 100 guys in ten days or whatever, sometimes it can just be a buildup of all the stress from various areas of this job (like dealing with a billion timewasters and chancers and creeps and weirdos all day long before you've even gotten around to actually meeting with some clients!) and the answer is often to take a bit of a holiday. If you can't afford to be away long, just go for one Proper Day Off, maybe? If you plan it right, it can be mega-relaxing without being expensive (spend a bit of time outside, sunbathing or reading, or go swimming or have wine/food/DVDs with friends) and if you arrange an appointment or two for the following day in advance, you don't need to feel guilty about having a little time off to recharge beforehand!
