I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the children are off school for another two weeks.  They don't go back till 15 April. 
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.

Ahh.  Ours just finished on Thursday.  So when do your schools return then?


Edit : just did a check and yours go back on 8th but are then off for a week in May.  Scottish schools don't get that week off. 

Think this shows that if touring then we should always factor these things in when planning on visiting a place.

I'm finding it unusually slow at the moment. In fact I think it could be my slowest month since I started in 2008. Time to expand on my advertising I think.

I started in 2008 also. This probably isn't the slowest month ever due to traveling, but it damn near tips the scales. I am just so sick and tired of people turning down bookings when listing on craiglist. On my main paid ads, people are booking me and then not turning up. Cancelling without a good excuse, just playing games...I've been down to like 3-6 clients per MONTH in my local area.

I have done everything under the sun to try and get more bookings. Now, I just dropped my rates by 50-75 dollars. Next step is to just go ahead and relocate. I can't take this no more. It almost seems like things are just stuck in a standstill or something. How hard is it to get a man to pay for sex these days?

All you can do is relax given time for things to improve. Not sure about that scene though. Do what your instinct tells you. After all nothing will change unless actions are changed. But on the other hand consider moving as that doesn't guarantee profit. If so then you will be like stuck in a catch 22 worser off having paid out for new home etc.

The way I worked out where to live was by touring. Here in belfast I am more established. And also feel they are more considerate compared to what I had in the past through escorting. Also had a feel for the place too.

whats most frustrating is even though I'm not getting much work (only made $150 in the past 2 WEEKS), is I still have to answer calls and emails to my ad and I'm not even getting paid for it. It's just so irritating. I'm about to turn everything off, pull all ads for a little while and see what happens.

Maybe disappearing and reappearing will help? In the meantime what about bills?

The longer time that is spent telling yourself that business isn't working, loosing hope. It will keep going that way. It is all about breaking the cycle

It's all about using different strategies working from different angles until the flow's going. Think about it, the longer this goes on for you might damage. So it is vital the sooner the better type of thing. Also to believe in yourself opening your mind.

The more time is spent dwelling about the way things are isn't good. Maybe talk to other escorts who do your line of work for tips?. Nothing will improve without adding ingredients to the cake. But it is up to you to work out.

Of course you're paid for it - it's all part of your job. If you earn x amount in x time then that's your earnings - if you want to get paid pro rata for every stroke of work you do, you need to get a civvy job with a contract and a salary and that you can walk away from at the end of the day.

I probably spend a full working day's worth of hours on admin every week at least, because if I didn't I wouldn't get paid because I wouldn't have any work - it may be indirect but that doesn't mean it doesn't count.

'S'Ok I had someone a couple of years ago tell me he could get someone younger for the same fee back home in a city the other end of the country. I said "Good for you, sounds as if you'll be better off seeing her then".

No matter how miserable you might feel it is your telephone manner or correspondence that will attract a client to you.
