The first 2 weeks of dec was very quiet for me, especially the 2nd, this week my phone was very busy but I was so stressed and unwell that I had to cancel all of my appointments :(
Now I am off on holiday and back in mid jan just to pay my tax  :(

Wish luck to the girls that will be working during the holiday time.

I really could not imagine being able to earn the amount I do for so few hours and still have the flexibility of when I work. The last 6 months I have been quite busy when I work.

Today has been quiet and am leaving the hotel now, but I was busy yesterday, at the end of each month I earn about the same, after taking off my expenses: hotel, travel costs etc...

Yes it always feels quiet when you are sat doing nothing, but the time you are working you can be earning more in one hour than some people earn a day. I know many people that do not earn half what I earn a month and work stressful full time jobs with few holidays.

Having paid off a considerable amount of debt in the last 6 months and had several holidays I would not consider doing anything else. I could work more days than I do, but I also enjoy having a life.

I am looking forward to the Xmas break, catching up with friends and family...

The down side is not seeing my OH as much as I would like, with only one day of work booked in the next 4 weeks I will be spending every night with him.

I've only seen 1 client and made a measly $200 this whole week. For a 26 y/o single escort who lives alone. Not great

I'm just like, this is so frustrating. I don't know how it is in Europe, but EVERY SINGLE COMMERCIAL on TV is all about the next holiday sale, shopping, Christmas, etc. Yet, me being an escort in the business, I'm not seeing a splurge of business. People just tell me how low they are on money  >:(

I like Christmas, and it feels good to listen to the music and celebrate the birth of Christ...but I HATE the capitalism of it. We have to sit and suffer, while the stores rake in millions and billions from our would-be clients  :FF

I'm in Exeter and nothing but timewasters for the last couple of days it's so frustrating, I really need some clients as even with scrimping at christmas I haven't enough to cover my outgoings for this month I know it varies so much around the country but is January normally quiet or does it pick up a bit?

I have found January to be quite quiet but normally enough bookings to tick along. It's February thats notorious for being dead from what I've heard from lots on this site

I would say that different areas depend whether it's quiet or not in my experience. As for example December is quiet but they came flooding when toured.

My area was manic between Xmas and New Yeary (east mids) pity I had to cancel so many appointments as I had a terrible cold!

Hurrumph!

ugh, same here...I was able to take a couple appointments over the weekend, but I spent all day in bed feeling like I have some kind of disease. Probably won't be able to work for another couple days or so. Plus, all my ads are expired :(

This always happens in January/February. Mine started the day after New Years.

I was just about to post here myself.

It has been slow but steady with at least a client a day. Would be better to get a few during the day as I usually have evening appointments. I hope that I get busier! I have an in-call day with three bookings at the moment but I am expecting them to all cancel to be honest :P I will probably get more calls on the day really!

I am getting a slow but steady trickle of two or so a day. The phone is quieter but that means less time wasters and I'm not going home empty-handed. It's OK, really!

Personally I have been quite surprised at how much interest there has been this month.  I have found business quite buoyant.

However a few were waiting to see me from December and I only meet c 5 guys weekly so not looking for loads and loads.

Long may it continue!

Jan has not been to bad for me either.  Put my prices up and changed my marketing, will continue to put them up until I hit a ceiling...so happy with the way things are going.

What did you do to change your marketing? Advertise on different sites?

I know for me I'm keeping my rates up a bit and took away half hours. I'm going for $200/hr...but it's still dead. This whole week I've only made 1 client for a measly $120. Last week I think I seen 3 clients and that was only $450.
 
15 days into the month and no rent this month is paid. I haven't even profited enough to pay anything. I keep telling my friends, they are going to make me go there. They is the lack of clients, and There is putting my things in storage and getting the hell away from here. But I don't want to be a gypsy again. But at the same time, it's pushing me in that direction. I'm not getting enough clients in my area.

Someone told me awhile ago, "how can you not get anything in a total metro area of 2 million". I'm just like, I DON'T KNOW! How can I explain that? When craigslist people constantly complain about "there's too much free stuff going around". Ads are dead and no one is calling or emailing. There's 2 million people not paying me today, that's all it means!
