There do seem to be loads more new girls working in my area so I'd expect supply to outstrip demand.  However, the other day I saw a new client who told me he'd put a Reverse Booking request up on AW and he hadn't got one single bid.  I don't look at these but he told me what he'd said and how much he'd asked and it seemed quite a normal booking.  He then found me and booked me.  So what's happening?  Are there loads of girls looking for work but (like me) not searching AW RBs etc?

This month is fairly horrible for me so far - only three jobs since the beginning of October. Ugh.

I am working from Liverpool Street for a week starting yesterday and I've noticed a decrease in number of calls/clients compared to other times I've been in the same area. Yesterday it was ok until the afternoon, later in the evening it was raining, and I barely had any call. And today, only had 2 clients. Could all this be because of the rain?

I'm busy too and have been turning clients away - even in this weather!

I'm not complaining though  ;D

Hi,
Any tips on how to improve my profile on AW? Im still relatively new to escorting. Was getting lots of enquiries but it has definitely slowed down now and hardly any enquiries this week (Saturday onwards) and no bookings. I'm absolutely broke and have been made redundant from my civvy job too :-( Is it a quiet week in general or am doing something wrong?

Quiet periods are gonna happen. In any kind of freelance work it's important to save and be prepared for dips in the business. I don't know anything about AW itself, so can't offer any insight about that, but it's absolutely not unusual for work to be slow every now and then.

This is the slowest week of the last month for me so far but stick with it and get use your time to get yourself on some directories to get your details out there.

My very first week on AW was my busiest by some degree, which I assume is purely because you come up as newly listed and thus get more interest. Since then, it has levelled out, but it's fairly consistent. As others have said, it's swings and roundabouts in terms of how busy you can be from week to week.

Are you listed on other directories, too?

Hi ladies,

I'm really quiet at the moment on AW, I went to London on Monday at London Bridge and didn't do one customer, Tuesday I went to Oxford and saw 3 clients, yesterday I did Bracknell and saw 2 clients and today im in Basingstoke and its approaching lunchtime and haven't had one call yet......starting to panic to be honest.  Maybe im just having a bad week and it will pick up, like everyone else I suppose I get my good days and my bad days.

I don't mind travelling, does anyone know anywhere that's busy at the moment? Im probably going to the wrong places.

Appreciate any advice please.

Many Thanks
Chloe XX

I've found it rather quiet this week in Birmingham not even timewasters phoning. The last 6 weeks have been really good and now this week its as dead as the grave so far I've only seen a few regulars.
Its the same my friend in Wolverhampton and shes ALWAYS busy. I guess its the time of the month when clients are broke and waiting to be paid. Its strange how they all suddenly disappear at the same time but its the only way I can explain this sudden drop in interest.

It will Chloe.
Its all the more worrying when laying out money upfront for hotels and apartments while touring but I do expect come next week it will be back to business as usual. Fingers crossed...lol
