I'm still quiet.
At the recommendation of other girls in Manchester I have reduced my rates to fall in line (they have done this to help me out, and have been very helpful in other ways to). I have popped up a special offer for Jan and Feb, and still no one is biting.
I know working in Manchester is hard as there are so many parlours that indies are trying to compete. But for me I feel I'm worth a little more. The guys in Manchester are spoilt for choice and I don't get a look in.
I have managed to scrape together some money to do a tour (this has taken me quite a while to save), so I'm really hoping that it works out as I still cannot afford to pay for advertising yet. I've been indie for 8 months now and it's a real hard struggle, but I'm stubborn and refuse to give up (unless of course the work completely dried up and there were no other options left for me working as an indie). I'm just hoping it will pay off soon.
