There just doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to the work this year in the lead up to x-mas!  ???
I've had days where I've been rushed off my feet, and others where the phone's been dead...
Also, for the 1st time in my history on AW, I'm running out of credits for displaying my phone number!
I've never had to buy credits, and I've no idea how to (I'm sure I'll figure it out..), but I'll worry about it when it happens..
I really hope things pick up for you Lushblossom!! Good luck!  :-*

Go to a shop that does PayPoint and order a UKash voucher. Very easy to do.

So far 3 x 1 hour. Flagging badly, and shutting the shop. Curling up in front of the TV, having ordered noodles and veg. No pre-bookings for tomorrow at this point.

I've got 8 hour long bookings booked in from now until the 23rd which is good as the last month has been awful for bookings. I was only getting one booking per week. Luckily I have a full
Time civvy job which isn't great pay but covers my rent, bills and food so I wasn't too stressed. Hope it picks up for everyone soon xx

I've never had to buy credits, and I've no idea how to (I'm sure I'll figure it out..), but I'll worry about it when it happens..

Was thinking a couple of days ago re views one profiles and decided to do a recky.

Everyone has been saying how up and down bookings are so I decided to have a look at private gallery purchases, profile views to see if things had declined any more.

Now in years gone by  we could rely on PG sales to pay for displaying our phone number without even thinking about it.  Profile views a few years ago was around 800-1000 per day and bookings were a plenty.

Now as most know I'm no longer whoring and just offer online services, so I expected my views to go down a fair bit so I decided to look at some young/er escorts profiles too.  I was shocked with the results.

For a number of days in a row I was lucky to get around 100 profile views which I thought was really really bad as it wasn't that long ago it was around the 200-300 mark.  So I looked at different escorts, some of them younger ones and some not so young and even with them escorting they were just getting around 100 too. 

I believe the decrease is due to the number of girls joining AW and guys having a larger choice now, so it sorta shows we have to keep our eye on the ball re services and keeping our profiles interesting so that guys want to use our services.

Do you keep an eye on the number of profile views you get? I don't know if I chose the wrong ones to view along with my own but it would be interesting to know if others have noticed the same. 

This isn't a competition post ie "oh I get around 500/600/200/800 views a day." It is just to see if girls have noticed the decline in profile views or not and if members have thought this could be one of the reasons business has declined.  These are figures for the past few weeks, the number may be different at different times of the year.

How have ou done?
Beauty is nothing to do with having a pretty face.
It is about having a pretty mind, a pretty heart,
And most importantly a beautiful soul.

I think writing a blog regularly helps as does updating profile pics/gallery regularly too.

Must practise what I preach lol.

Thanks Fabulassie, tbh I hadn't even looked into it, but saves me from doing that now  :)

I do keep a tab on profile views haven't reached a conclusion yet on how it correlates to actual business.
When each picture is viewed doesn't it add to the number of  profile viewers?

Defo agree with blogging and adding new pics to pg though to keep credits coming in these days.

Like LL mentioned and a few others  you have to be pro - active all the time with stuff like blogging, a website ,other forms of advertising,  new pictures, videos,  twitter 

It won't happen overnight it might take a few weeks , it might take a few months for you to benefit from it but if you don't do anything then you never will and as more and more escorts enter the business it will naturally become quieter /slower

I've said this many times but I'm always amazed at how many escorts only rely on AW and nothing else and then are in running around like the proverbial headless chicken panicking when it's quiet

Yes it's a popular website and yes a large proportion of most escorts work is from there that not in question
   But if you don't have your own website and don't advertise in other places then when it's quite you notice it and when it's very very quite and even the wankers aren't calling then you really suffer

One example is that I'm generally based in Bristol in the Southwest so I do backpage for Bristol Devon and Wales which is areas that are around 1hrs or so from me these  three adds cost me probably around ?20 -?30 for 3 months featured so not a massive amount maybe ?3 a week  but I do get bookings from people in those areas who are travelling to Bristol might only be. Generally at least two or three bookings a week  but this week I got a 2 hr booking from a guy in Devon who came to see me and 2 from guys in Wales who were coming to Bristol to do christmas shopping So for an outlay of maybe ?3 a week it got me ?470 on 3 bookings


These clients might not have visited me if they hadn't seen my advert on BP
I do punterlink and punternet I probably don't get massive amounts of work from them but I would get even less if I didn't advertise on them

   Same as Viva st - personally I hate the fucking site and I think it's a rip off and especially as I can't despite having the dolphin browser as recommended by Viva St for iPads & iPhones in order to get it to work and make changes I can't make any changes unless I'm using  my laptop but for ?100 a month I get a pretty good return on it especially in some cities were it's very popular
Yes you do get a lot of cheapskates and idiots but there are some decent clients on there and it generally comes up on the first page for google for escorts

 Don't bother with the reposting just do the featured adverts that is on the right hand side
It's pretty cheap generally apart from London and you can add videos ( under 30 seconds as well)
Thing is if your not advertising then no one can find you and despite AW being a popular site it's not the only one that clients use

Today's been my worst day yet, so far, but I've got a lot of inquiries for next week (Monday specifically), that must
be when people finish up work?
Anyone else noticed an increase in inquiries for bookings for next week??
Oh phone just rang and got a booking, yaay , 1st one for today..  ::)
Here's hoping he'll turn up.. Hope everyone else is doing ok or at least surviving..!  :)
