Last month was really good, but ATM is really bad....
The best thing to do is get a day off and have fun ;)

I think I'm experiencing the slow death by AW!
I'm unbelievably poor this month, I've lowered my hourly rate by ?20, put up a few selfies and changed my description bar at the top to try and drum up some interest but it's just not working, I'd like a booking before Friday but nothing. Going out of my mind! :FF
I know an full-time lady came to my town on a tour recently for a couple of nights so I didn't expect any bookings while she was here but I was hoping now she's gone I'd attract some clients ???
Any tips would be appreciated, I don't want to lower my rate any more, maybe a few more pictures?

How about doing a funny/witty/sexy blog? I find blogs a great way of generating interest and I always notice an increase in calls after posting a blog.

Also if you don't already have a website then you should definitely get one. Most of my business comes through my own site and it means I'm not at the mercy of Adultwork. Punternet SPD is also a great source of bookings for me but I find you really need a couple of field reports before guys notice you on there. Good luck  :)

If you are in the area I think you are in I know another lady not too far away who didn't get the business she wanted when by lowering her rates. My advice to her was to create an image and get marketing.

thanks Alisha for the advice, I've been looking into setting up a site for ages but always thought no one would ever go on it, but I only advertise on AW so I won't know til I try :)
Strawberry - I am in the area you think I am, I am having a think about how to create an image but I'm not sure if it'll change which clients I attract because I get quite a mixed variety of older gents who want companionship more than anything and younger chaps who are more into the sex. I enjoy seeing both but don't want to cut myself off from attracting them :(

thank you both for the advice though, I will try to do something to help myself rather than wondering why my work has dried out :)

Absolutely agree with Strawberry on this , think of what's unique about you

Ie if your English / British  highlight this ( lots of guys moan the lack of genuine British / English escorts  so every time you post mention this. I alway use the words British busty  ebony escort blah blah ... Have it as your signature ect.

If your busty or petite or very tall ect again they can be very good selling / unique points

Get a website and start adding yourself to forums , directories ect link/ swop banners  with other escort in your area to build up its profile

Look at what local forums are in your area and start posting and advertising on them
Ie Manchester you have little black book

Yorkshire and Leeds you have wswg forum and advertising  ( or something like that) but theses forums have several thousand members that are active on them ect

If your in that area of the north west then I would defiantly start adding my website to these sites and paying to advertise on them or at the very least start posting in the forums every week answering threads and stuff

Keep your aw site, have your own  website and put your aw profile within the website ect , they don't have to be interlinked,   you could just have a link to your private gallery of adultwork on your site or your whole profile ect    your clients that see you now via adultwork still will. 
But by having a website of your own will increase your business  and  your widening your target audience ect
when you search for escorts in most cities adultwork doesn't even get mentioned or come up but sites like punterlink punternet viva st backpage do
Not every guy knows about adultwork  i bet but most of them know how to search for london , bristol Scottish escorts on google,  So by having a website you would / should be increasing your work

Put it this way . Every little helps and it won't do you any harm

Some must have spent their wage, not long now until pay day. Things should pick up soon.

Maybe if you pm a few of us ladies, a link of your advert maybe we can spot something wrong  or suggest something. .... could be the wording or the pictures....

I feel the same way. I had a super busy September and was really happy but last week everything came to a halt suddenly. I've had an incredibly slow week starting last Saturday. I blame it on the rain and the football season in TV.
Mornings were made for sleeping, wild sex and bacon.

I've most enquiries coming from regulars, and via my own website hardly anything new from AW.  I do have less availability due to commitments/things developing outside of prossying, but the bookings seem to be fitting into that time, filling it up nicely. I had a very quiet time in the first half of June, but like I say ever since I changed my hours, things seem to be ticking over just fine. I also have decided to be stricter with my phone and turn it on a lot less, and also being a lot more straightforward with new enquiries which is working out just fine. Getting to the point a lot more!

Aw has gone dead over the past 2 weeks hasn't it, I'm glad I'm not the only one. The only thing I'm getting from AW are timewasters. Luckily I'm all over other sites and have my own website.

Maybe finally AW is no longer top dog for escort advertising  ;D

I do believe that unfortunately adultwork have shot themselves in the foot by allowing far too many fake profiles over time, and guys have become a little tentative about trusting the genuine girls.

We have timewasters to deal with, and guys have girls who are fake to deal with etc.  It's a let down to both sides. 

Some girls also tick that they escort when they just wish to sell galleries etc, so their profiles are fake too.  Ticking the escorting box allows them to get noticed more.

This is where full escorting sites are better for us girls who just wish to remain an independent offering only escorting services.  Adultwork deal with everything from webcamming to escorting etc.
