Lily, why do you think that Adultwork needs to advertise more but you don't?

That is a good point and I agree that escorts need to advertise independently too :)

However if you're paying to be on Adultwork and to use their advertising platform (which for most of us is ?6 Available Today, and ?1.20 displaying phone number at a minimum) - that on it's own is ?50 a week. For that ?50 I think that most of us expect some advertising effort to be made on our behalf.... even if we do decide to go the independent route too.

I agree they should be more prominent on Google.
The reason I use any directory is for their presence on Google, just like viva street back page etc.
I guess they have been getting some exposure on tv recently though   ;D

Crappy day in Leeds so far.Some very silly calls and emails and when I finally got someone decent sounding albeit very short notice he then ignored my calls when I tried to ring him to direct him in after quickly getting ready..arsehole.

I had a cancellation early in the afternoon, then a decent one-hour booking. Then I got very, very tired and wanted to curl up and go to sleep. Instead, I went out for a brisk walk in the cold and some retail therapy. To my amazement, two guys who had called in the morning and hadn't sounded particularly sincere about booking tonight texted wanting to know when we were meeting. And I turned them down because my head wasn't in the right place (and I was out of my flat, not looking very pretty, and in no mood to rush around to get ready.)

Timewaster central in London this week.  Threesome booking cancelled today (no surprise), and I paid ?60 to sit in a hotel room in my stockings, updating my AW every three minutes.  My phone didn't ring once, and I got a text 15 minutes after I gave up and checked out.  :FF

Yesterday the phone was ringing off the hook all day (And I couldn't see any of them because I had a 90min outcall in the middle of my very few working hours), just goes to show how different each day can be.

I have been one grumpy hooker this week. I have a couple of days off now which can only be a good thing.

Yes, I find Wednesdays are quieter than Tuesdays and Thursdays - I think it's the mid-week focus on work!

Fairly slow this month, but not as slow as the last year - so far 2016 is proving quite decent. Really confused, seeing as Norway is undergoing a mild economical crash (by our standards, at least).

For that ?50 I think that most of us expect some advertising effort to be made on our behalf.... even if we do decide to go the independent route too.

I do agree that people should get something for their advertising money, but when

Honestly, Adultwork used to provide me ?200-?500 a day,

I wouldn't think they were doing any more site promotion than they are now when

I earnt nothing for 3 days.

Which would lead me to think that it's not all down to Adultwork suddenly cutting their advertising spend. The idea that somebody feels this kind of almost entitlement to earn this sort of amount for throwing a profile together on one site and then doing pretty much nothing else in the way of advertising seems completely bizarre to me as a non-Adutwork relying person.

As for giving them 50 quid a week, I'm fortunate enough not to need to (the expensive features are redundant where I am), but back in the Dark Ages my newspaper ads used to cost me ?80-100 a week for a line or two of text with no prices, services and definitely no photies, so forgive me if I'm not quite getting the violins out :).
