Well thankfully it's picked up today and a few inquiries for next week.
Think it was the Mon and Tues blues, those days seem to be a waste of time for me lately.

My Mondays are usually always great whereas today has been awful! 3 calls and 1 no show, 1 timewaster and one for tomorrow, what the hell is happening today I ask...

I find this quite strange because it’s been lots quieter of course, but I think most of us indies aren’t doing too bad, perhaps the men think that an agency girl has more chance of catching covid than an independent as you are being sent to more jobs and you can’t really say no whereas us indies can do what we like, it’s not like the men can’t leave the house and I’m sure a horny man can make all the excuses he likes to get away for a shag! You are probs better off working for you.

Honestly, the way you put it, I didn't even think of that! Very good point!
The main reason why I like working for my agency is because they also provide the space for meeting clients - so I don't have to think about renting hotels, etc. Basically I can only really do outcalls.
But maybe I should give being indie a chance properly. :) thanks!

I think you should totally give being indie a go if you possibly can. I think guys are a bit worried about agencies right now as they see it as a revolving door system when maybe a more selective operation appeals just now.
I had 3 bookings today and 2 yesterday, could have had a 3rd yesterday but it was getting late and I was tired so turned I it down but he's a regular so expect he'll try again soon.

Well, kids back at school, everyone’s been paid- and yet still bugger all.

I don’t think it’s going to pick up again. Too many men using only fans now or too afraid because of the virus.

I’m in poverty nearly. This absolutely sucks.

If anyone is busy I’ll eat my hat!

Same here. I am advertising everywhere I can and putting all the bells and whistles on adultwork and it makes no difference.

Regarding OnlyFans I saw a massive drop-off on there from June onwards and it just wasn’t worth while for me to continue, despite putting loads of time and effort I only made a pittance.  If you are long-standing and/or have huge numbers on your socials it’s different maybe.

Located in Bristol and I have never had so many warning numbers call me as I have this week. Every single call is attached to a warning either on here or client eye. I’m loosing the will to live it’s so bad. I feel like since the second wave alert business is dropping off. I’m quite scared. Very un nerving when the only people contacting you are dangerous.

The usual waste of time for me on a Mon and Tues, very odd, can't really understand why other than guys having to get some work done beginning of the week.
 A cple of bookings already for tomorrow so hopefully things will pick up like last week.

Yep certain days i have found that 70% of calls have warnings attached to them it's a joke but to be honest not a huge surprise the amount of nutters out there and fantasists that try to target us. If anybody has any warning no matter what it is, it's curtains i will not entertain anybody that has messed another worker around they do not deserve more chances to do it again.

Dangerous ones i never block though i just ignore. Nobody wants them really changing there details.

100% Jokers and no work, so I've scrubbed all my massage service and escort services now advertising domination/BDSM which I used to do and raised my fees. Mixing it up a bit. Let's see how they like them apples!

Moved out of Bristol and onwards still no change all time wasters calling me. I’m someone who is always busy this is a real shock to me. It’s like it’s just stopped the work all of a sudden.  It’s very Very worrying. Please god let them find a vaccine and get the economy back this is terrible.

The work i have done recently has been ok. I have noticed sometimes phone quiet but if genuine calls it can work out ok.

Sometimes it could be the area on the week of working that can let down or maybe prices have an affect in this climate it's hard to know for sure but this industry has always been a rollercoaster you never know what it will be.

One of my 2 planned bookings cancelled this morning, then got a short notice booking by phone and what do you know .. was a no show  :FF  .... I didn't contact him, wouldnt give him the satisfaction but thats another one blocked.

What is wrong with these idiots!?

So a really rubbish week so far after a really good week last week, it is just impossible to predict right now.

I have absolutely flew through clients since I came back in July but this week has totally flopped! Today I took 2 phone calls in total, only out of pure luck they both wanted an hour. If it wasn’t for those I’d have been at an £85 loss. I’m in the North West and I’m noticing even people in my social circle that couldn’t care less are starting to get sketchy  :-\

I’ve found the past few weeks 90% of calls/texts

- have multiple spam reports on Client Eye
- are known previous TWs and idiots
- are new TWs/idiots

Calls /texts have also dropped off, in the past week zero bookings, past 5 days one No Show a day which is unprecedented.

Very demoralising and worrying. For me this is not sustainable. I will just run out of money.

I am near areas which are in local lockdown and my best guess is this is the issue.
