Dead here this week/month! Perhaps it's time to update my pics...

There don't seem to be many calibre men about at the moment.  Decent one hours I mean.

Lots of half hours and people you wouldn't wish to meet as a rule, as they sound silly or are too young and daft.

Scraping the barrel times!

Diabolical for me this week, last week was pants but this is worse.  Good job vivastreet have put their rates back down again in my area. 

They days of just being on AW are over. But I wish I knew where else the men are!

if I find them I'll let you know.

My regs have just vanished, i'm hoping the reason is UFOS rather than me.

 I've had a couple of bookings this week but they were advanced bookings, as in they booked 1 month ago  other than that it's been tumble weed. It if wasn't for my other business I would be fucked and not literally.

I'm sort of crawling along. I've had a quickie and there's an hour on his way.

 I've made a huge effort to increase my advertising - everything but Vivastreet. I'm even back on Twitter. I know some things won't result in instant bookings but I want to be like Amy, who says that AW is only a minority of her bookings. So I'm building up my website and that can take months to pay off.

I'm hopeless with Twitter. But these last weeks have been a nightmare.
There's always something that's supposed to explain "slow" days, Christmas, football, and so on.
But I'm at the stage when I think that while various events may have impact on the number of clients I have, there's another factor that has a genuine impact on the traffic I get: my advertising.
AW taught me a lesson last month, now I'm back and verified and my phone is just not ringing at all. So I'm thinking instead of my usual "things will pick up soon" I should probably go for "I'll make sure things pick up tomorrow".

That means moving my arse and working on my advertising. AW made me lazy and now I'm seeing consequences of being lazy. Amy's strategy is exactly what I'm going to take example from because I swear that if I have to update my aw profile once more today I'll end up in a mental ward!

Tumbleweed here for me too. Starting to worry about money..

Today was very bad for me too. At the start of the week was ok but i had someone calling since monday to book for 2 hours claming to be italian etc like it matters... And then he phoned me today to say he is on his way but guess wat... Never turned up other than this just idiots calling

Having a website does work providing you stay put in an area long enough.
When I worked in Reading only over half my bookings came from my own site, but now I tour Google doesn't tend to pick up on my keywords fast enough.
And linking it to directories etc will mean I get calls for different areas all the time X

Yes, I figured that the website wouldn't work so great with touring. However, I am now tagging pages with the names of my most frequent tour locations as well as putting my tour dates on my profile. Amy somehow makes it work, although she now primarily visits NYC and London. Those who travel all over probably would struggle to make it work.
