Im sure the longer serving WGs will confirm too that in the past 5 or so years that prices have not gone up (even in line with inflation) and in some cases have actually gone down. Definitely not a good sign but some girls think it will help them get more work.
I have said this before as well but I have been working for 20 years and only seen a very slight increase from 50 to 70 for a 30 minute booking.
I have not noticed any slowing down in bookings and each month do roughly the same or more than I would expect to have done. I worked yesterday and finished at 3pm today a total of 15 clients through the door and a few that failed to turn up or cancelled. Today I was due to work till 5.30pm but at 3pm my 4.30 cancelled and I had nothing else booked so went home. i could have waited around but had had enough and felt i had earned 50% more than I expected to. In Birmingham on the 3rd/4th/5th Feb I had 31 clients, far more than I expected.
Promotion - Apart from advertising on Adultwork, I also promote the day I am available with a link to my web site to 7,000+ Twitter followers, my web site gets 12-15,000 visitors a month. On Adultwork I pay to be shown as "Available Today" as well as listed in the "Local Escort Search". I update my profile every 20-30 minutes depending on how busy I am and occasionally do a fresh Tweet.
How much promotion do others do? Gone are the days that you can just list yourself on Adultwork with your phone number and the phone will ring & ring.
Since returning after a Christmas and New Year away, in the last five weeks I have worked 16 days and seen all my regulars, bar one and plenty of new clients. I had two really bad days at the end of Jan, on the 29/30th. That is what I would call really bad, only 200 after expenses and not a single booking on the 30th.
I am working Friday and then I am on holiday for three weeks in the sun.
