I was there the same week and I don't think there were too many Tube riders for me, either. But, then, I was in the City where most clients will walk from their office.

Ditto Victoria. People visiting at short notice were generally walking from less than 15 minutes away, along with a few who'd come off a regular train or the Gatwick Express.

If it's central London, you're never going to be far from punters (and vice versa) :).

It's just from experience (17 years commuting into Zone 1), whenever there's a tube strike the vast majority of people try to avoid coming into the office, unless they can walk or bike it. It can have a knock-on effect on overground train services if there are shared lines, the buses are heaving, etc. so most seasoned commuters just don't even try.

But on the other hand, ladies in commuter belt towns might benefit with those who are 'working from home'.  :D

I agree, hence

Then the ladies who live/work further out might benefit instead.

I've been in London before when there's been a Tube strike and whilst it meant a few cancellations from people who couldn't make it, all of them were eventually replaced by people who could :). I realise I should know better than to try and bring optimism and pragmatism to our main whinge thread :D but I suspect there's no shortage of people here who wouldn't complain too much about only having a potential hundred thousand punters in their locale rather than half a million, or whatever.

Hey guys. I have been escorting on and off now for nearly four years. In the last few months I have found it EXTREMELY hard to make any decent money  :FF. I hardly get any bookings where I live (I work from home) cuz, understandably, I've been here a while and guys are probably bored of me!

However, even when I've been on tour very recently (in the last two months or so) I have hardly been making enough to cover my costs. So I guess the question is...IS IT ME OR IS THE ESCORT INDUSTRY AS A WHOLE IN DECLINE??

Any feedback and suggestions gratefully received! I don't expect loads of replies as to where is the best location for work and I know how to advertise on AW to get the most traffic possible. Just wondering really if anyone is experiencing a real decrease in bookings or is it just me?

Thanks :)

Well if you read the rest of the thread (or a bit of it at least) you can see that most people have quiet spells and have since 2008 when the first posts are.

If you've been on your home base for a while and not finding you're building up a good base of regulars (which is definitely what keeps me going when I'm at home if it's otherwise a bit quiet), are there reasons that could be? Have you got limited working hours for example?

Touring is always a gamble anyway, but there's plenty of advice on advertising and so on in the separate section. Some places are better than others, but a lot of people seem to be finding it's not what it was, particularly in places like Ireland. I got tired of it after six/seven years of being away half the month and got myself a work flat instead, and I do think it's good to reassess the way you're doing things once or twice a year or so.

I built myself a new website recently and that definitely brought a few punters I hadn't seen in years back out of the woodwork, so maybe have a think about that? :)

My numbers have held up quite well, but I think that is mainly because I have a high proportion of regulars. Overall there is more competition, but also I think there are less men looking for escorts than there were. Why this is I'm not sure. The Internet is supposed to make things easier, but for that to work the punters have to be actively looking and know where to look.

Yes, that is right. Someone mentioned missing the days of tart cards, when men would be reminded of the very idea.

Decided to work today as I had nothing going on this weekend, so far I've had a txt telling me my special offer for an hour is not an offer its a standard rate, a guy ring asking if he can come round and fuck my big fat tits and someone is apparently walking from Bradford to Leeds to meet me  :FF glad I have a reg later on. Hope everyone else has had a better day!

I was sort of working today but I had someone who wanted uniforms which is not my thing someone text saying they were a polish woman and asking if I would meet sounded dodgy!Oh and someone wanting to meet tonight but I'm only free until 5pm.
