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   

Slow day, got 3 advance bookings tomorrow thankfully

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. 

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.

My phone hasnt rung at all til now ! Im starting to worry..

Is Wednesday's a quiet day for you. Every week this is my quietest day of the week

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

Over in West Sussex and it's dead!!! Two half hour calls all day!! Last week was fine, but this week so far is worryingly quiet. Sat in hotel room bored as hell  !!

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).

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.

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 .
