CurlesnCurves, I very much empathise with you.

Just as a reference - at the moment I have around £40 in my wallet and that's all I have. Plus ridiculous amount of unpaid bills.
I've been dodging work for a week (working on my website and marketing ideas instead, my brain is overloaded  :FF), need to get to it tomorrow. I feel like being behind with money will never bloody end  :FF
I think that an image of a loaded escort in designer clothes is a bit of an urban myth. It is a reality for some, but not that many.
And I would see it as any other business - some thrive, some not so much.

I've been in the business for few years and often it's been a struggle, especially when you add to the equation isolation, emotional toll, feeling stuck at home waiting for a booking that might come.
Only recently I got a website and I started putting my heart (and time! and money!) into marketing. It makes a massive difference.
I don't want to sound like suddenly I know it all, but I think that you can ALWAYS MAKE IT BETTER.
You have a website, great, but YOU CAN MAKE IT BETTER.
Do you have any marketing ideas? Like discounts for a short period of time? Discounts for afternoon sessions for a week?
Do you have a blog, newsletter? Even if you have them, you can always make it better.
The way I see this work now is like any other business that without constant marketing, innovation etc will not be successful.

I think the key is when sex workers do earn well save as much as possible and if when it does go shit least you can support yourself for a while and have money to try to pay for hotels in new areas to work from. But overall this industry is so up and down there could be a week where you worked all week and cleared 2000 and another week cleared 100. It is a strange industry and all you can do is make the best of it if you want it as a job/ career for a while.

I have had friends that came into industry earnt really well for couple of months spent most of it on shoes handbags holidays then it has gone dead and they are in shock horror not saved anything and struggling to pay there phone bill. I always remember this and know the quiet times happen so try to prepare as best can.

So if you're saying you don't do less than 90min for outcall, I would re-think it.

I would too. You have access to what amounts to the cheapest, best integrated and easiest public transport in the land, and whilst I wouldn't be bothering with half hours I'd certainly be doing an hour and maybe even 45 minutes.

It's just a hunch, but do you advertise heavy sub stuff and GFE all together in the same ads? I don't mean just bit of spanking or whatever; if the answer is yes then bear in mind that these are two very separate markets and whilst some people will dip in and out, there's a chance that if it's all chucked in together the serious and experienced Dom punters will think you're just playing at it or sticking it in for marketing purposes, whilst the GFE punters are likely to be put off by talk of heavy BDSM stuff, especially if you have photos showing marks on your body and suchlike.

It's fine to have separate ads/personas and I'd keep the niche stuff for niche sites. It also means you can advertise your higher rate for these bookings separately so it isn't constantly being seen alongside your lower one :).

Okay I've added an hour to my outcalls now. I don't do overnights. I couldn't handle those. 4hrs is my limit.

Yes I do advertise them together but I won't put the gfe on for any free BDSM listing sites I might add myself on. I'm not into pain so never covered in marks.

I've never got any money to put aside to save. Ever.

Yes you could do a discount scheme for regulars who book twice a month. Good idea.

Ive always found Sundays quiet , not so bad in the mornings but find Sunday lunch is generally a family or pub time and Sunday nights getting ready for work etc , less excuses to get out on a Sunday, compared with weekays and sat nights .
