It's been dead all week up north for me! A few emails/texts and that's all. In the past week I've had one half hour and that was it. Good thing I don't rely on this to pay rent! I've even put a special rate on, updated my profile and added a few naughty pics.. Still nothing. Starting to feel a bit desperate.

It's been fairly quiet here but I am doing ok with my regulars and really reluctant to take on new clients - the drop out rate is too high, when I've got limited hours due to ventures into pastures new, and reliable regulars wanting that time.

Also got time off and will be further limited whilst I have some things done around the place in a few weeks. Can see sod's law will be working overtime, plus a few moans BUT I have warned folk.

Adult work is going down due to all the fakes. Well profiles with numbers getting diverted aboard. One ex client told me about this so now have opened other branches to blossom.

Hiya

I was with an agency a couple of years ago and I got about 5-7 jobs a day. Now I've been back in the industry for about 2 months, I'm with 2 agencies and counting, I have my own website which I spend hour marketing on directories, sometimes at 12 hours at a time, I do banner exchanges with other escorts and I'm on Adultwork but I'm lucky if I get 2 jobs a week!!!!

Whats going on? Is it slow at the moment or is it me? I have girlfriend in the industry and they're doing fine on just one agency.

I'm 20, curvy, natural breasts, English, a great kind, friendly fun personality and been told I'm a Michelle Keegan and Tulisa look-a-like. Its really getting me down and feel I'd be better off going for a job at Primark!

I'm feeling so low and this is my only way of income. I just need some reassurance or advice.  :-[

Sounds like your doing all the right things but it is apparently really really quiet lately...

Yep. And  July is just around the corner...  :FF

I don't know what you're doing wrong newbabe, I would have to take a look at your site, your ads etc... and see were the problem is. Ask for honest feedback to your regulars and trusted friend escorts in order to get an objective opinion.

Hi Rose,
Don't shoot me but just had a quick look and you did ask for feedback...

I see you're marketing yourself as a courtesan (nothing wrong with that) but it does mean higher standards are expected in every aspect.

I think you need to look at the following...

1. I noticed a couple of minor spelling mistakes.
2. I'm not sure whether your age (20) really fits in with typical courtesan image - think you need to really sell it more or leave your age out completely.
3. You're asking for a rate of 250.00 yet you're using a free website and your photos don't look like they belong in Vogue.

I don't think your rates are unrealistic but there are hell of lot girls out there charging a lot less for the same things so you really need to stand out and emphasise your USPs more than you're doing at the moment.

I also think it might be an idea to draw attention to any feedback/field reports you have, 250.00 is a lot to ask someone to spend without much reassurance of what they can expect in return.

Good luck  :)

Hi Alisha

Thank you very your advice and most definitely your honesty.

I'll see what I can do to fix anything. I'm guessing men just want the girl next door type?

The advice above is just my opinion, it could be totally off the mark. See what others have to say.
As for what men want, well, we could be here all day!  ;D
Suffice to say there's a market out there for everybody but the marketing has to be right. 
I notice you have a blog which is great for increasing the Google ranking of your site so make sure you keep up to date with that.

I'm finding the past couple of months really difficult. Last week was okay but I have literally just managed to scrape up enough for my bills. I work with an agency in West Yorkshire and apparently a lot of the other girls have been complaining about the lack of work too. I would go back on adult work but I had too many time wasters and I can't compete with some of the prices on there (?60p/h are you kidding!?!?).
It's driving me insane. My roots are getting horrendous  ;)

Hi rose,

(Please don't hate me as I'm going to be honest)

- Site looks too "generic", like you're part of some agency and they did a profile for you. Personalize it much much more. Give it a "punch", invest more time in the design (keep in mind that you are in an extremely competitive area so you're going to need the extra effort in marketing yourself).
-I miss a nice flattering photo of you in the home page in order to hold my attention and  want to go through the rest of the site (sorry, I'm thinking like a man now).
-You say you're 20 (which is very young) but those pictures don't do you justice and make you look much older. I would get better quality new photos that emphasize your "young age". Some very professional "next door girl" type pics.
- Remove the word "courtesan" out  as it makes you look older. You're 20, you're a  student, market yourself that way.
- You can't charge 250 and have a free website that looks like it took you 10 minutes to make (sorry for being so raw).Overall the website needs a lot of work and new pics  if you're planing to charge those rates).

One of your photos isn't blurred, and yes they do make you look older. If you are older then say so and sell that image, if not then market yourself more appropriately. Oh and get rid of the free sex ads.

I suppose not every day is going to be busy. When it is quiet I up my advertising.
