Many of the girls in the UK (even long timers) have had to turn to civvy work as work just isnt coming in the same as it used to.  Its the only alternative anyone can think of.
Beauty is nothing to do with having a pretty face.
It is about having a pretty mind, a pretty heart,
And most importantly a beautiful soul.

I've found its been extremely slow since the first of March. January was brilliant then February it went quieter a quieter now its practically dead. I suspect its due to me not being able to offer in calls anymore but I wanted to ask if anyone else on here was finding work slow? I do advertise on various websites and I did try a hotel (which didn't go very well but I got one client which wasn't a huge loss) But now I'm lucky if I get one email a day if that
???

Thanks Veronica x

Its a huge drop going from so many emails I would spend 1-2 replying to and then nothing well I hope it picks up for all of us. I'm considering doing a weekend special knock of ten pound see how it goes

Veronica, I've merged this thread in with the main one covering the same topic, which as you can see is now on 106 pages and is made up of posts starting six years ago. If you have a look through it, you'll see that most people have the odd quiet spell and it's nothing that unusual - not unlike the Straight Men thread, you could pick virtually any page from last month, last year or five years ago and they all read pretty much the same.

In other words, don't worry about it too much :).

In America, one letter off and that's an offensive word. I think it's called 'snicker'.

But that said...yes ain't it crazy? But as someone who was around when this thread started...I'll say it wasn't a slow ride the whole through else I'd of quit LONG time ago. Sometimes I feel we're the only ones feeling it slow when all the other businesses are bustling. It just makes you feel like crap when the phone isn't ringing, but you walk outside there's people on the streets, cars on the roads...airplanes taking off and landing every 5 seconds. Yet, I can't scrape up 1 appointment all month long.

It's just maddening. It you makes you think, WHY AM I NOT GETTING ANYTHING when there is 50 million people in the entire state? An escort bought this up to me in a kind of pretentious, snobby way...I just wanted to go through the computer and shake him. I had to virtually PIMP SLAP his ass to let him know that probably 30% are families, 60% are probably straight, which leaves me with 10% of the population, many who are too young to hire or they probably don't agree with paying for sex which is 90% of the gay population, then you have those who are only into White men probably 80% of the population where I live at, then you have the ones with enough money to afford my rates which dwindles to only 2% and then those who actually do. So I am probably only working with 0.000005% of the population! Which is about 250 men! Factor in their busy schedules and the fact that they are probably hiring touring escorts, spread it out over a period of 5 years, that's 50 local clients a year or 4.16 per month which I'm not even getting when you factor in cancellations...

I know :).

To be fair, it wasn't originally a single thread; I just got sick to death of everybody starting a new one every time their phone hadn't rung for a few hours and I remember one day in particular we had no less than seven front page threads spread between Q&A and Blather, all of which were virtually identical. So I merged them into the behemoth we see before us ;D.

I agree, and I don't think it hurts for everyone to see that it's a regular thing, it happens and just about ev3erybody's joined in on it at some stage.

In the UK one letter off and it's an offensive word too. However you'll find it isn't one letter off and that the phrase here is indeed snigger. Not to mention the fact that Paris has quite the tan on her :)

Any how I think things are up and down everywhere. A lot of ladies and gents will find that touring simply isn't working any more and staying in base makes more sense. It seems now more than ever it pays to save and invest where we can although it may seem so hard. For me when money is slower coming in I reassess my out goings and realise so many things can be done cheaper/not at all. It helps I find

Me too. When my bookings drop to less than two a day, that's when I get militant with any paid advertising I happen to be subscribing to. Just recently I removed myself from IEG because I just couldn't justify the costs for what I was getting as a return. I use the spare cash to reinvest in adverts that are working for me at the time

I agree and didn't J Lo get slated for using the N word in one of her songs   

Touring used to be great you could make thousands of pounds  and it still can be good and I'm glad  Ive toured everywhere because i learnt a lot and i have made some really nice friends from touring mainly in Ireland but also here in the uk 

But i find that touring now especially in the uk isn't really worth the hassle for me and i expect lots of ladies will find it to be the same. 
  Ireland is still good  for me but thats only because i have been going there for a long time and have lots of regulars there 
Australia was fab but its so bloody far and so expensive  so to go there you really have to take it as more of a working extended holiday  Canada is my next big tour later this year and I'm really excited about that as i have always wanted to visit Canada
But for now I'm staying close home for the next few months.  I will still tour as i really like it and get to visit places that i have never been to and probably wouldn't have the opportunity to if i wasn't in this business   but it will be more of a working holiday to places that i want to visit rather than expecting to make a fortune like it used to be
 
  I don't see the point in charging the same or less than what i charge  at home when I'm touring and earning less as I'm immediately down by ?100 ?150 min in the uk and abroad it can be as much as ?200 ?250 a day when you factor in flights advertising and all the other crap 
   I can sit at home do 2 -3  bookings a day sometimes more but rarely less than that over a week, but touring I would need to do double that amount to make it worth while for me to work long hours be away from home and stuck in hotel for weeks on end

Business is often a bit like a man dicks on viagra. 
 
Anticipation that it going to work by taking a little blue pill    (for an escort this means that  going to be busy cos your adverts are up  )

So he taken the pill and ....
 its  up down- up - down, time for break, then back up again for a sustained period that you think it will never stop,  then  boom lots of thrust   ( for an escorts this means  its busy with lots of  clients, phone calls and bookings 

   Then nothing at all  its so bad you cant believe its still hard and going strong out there  but theres no end result no orgasm or nothing   (for an escort this means  still shelling out money for advertising even though its dead as man dick on viagra )

Too right! And when you think oh I'll work really hard today and then there's the absence of phone calls or emails. Then the days you don't want to work or busy with personal life etc.. and its contestant. I always get a phone call when I'm either on the train or in a shop men have such great timing
