Unfornately I just think so many ladies are now doing this job. And not just escorting, webcamming, onlyfans etc.

So clients money is being spent on webcamming and Onlyfans etc (when they can't afford as many physical bookings).

And as so much choice your getting clients book you, then choose another escort coz they are cheaper or whatever reason and don't bother letting you know and don't show up.

You also have the addition of the cost of living, a recession so less money around and on top of that expensive hotels and travelling costs. And more laides coming into profession due to cost of living crises.

I'm still earning my money, have quiet days here and there but also finding more no shows, less reliable regs. I used to be solid booked up front on tours now I maybe get 1 or 2 regs all tour and all rest new ones. And my quality of service hasn't gone down. I think regs got so much choice now of new touring escorts in the area.

But you really have to invest time and money constantly into your brand.

For example I regularly do new professional pics every few months, offer a range of services from gfe, fetish and roleplay, blog frequently and use all the featured advertising on escort directories and platforms to stay above competition and have a website. It's alot of work!

It used to be so easy before, just create your profile, throw a few pics up and you were busy all the time. And I used to get my pictures done once a year.

Now ladies have to do combinational of onlyfans, webcamming and escorting. I know some ladies work indie and agency as well and other ladies now have a regular job just to cover bills and escort on the side.

If you're slow all the time , you really need to analyse your advertising, get new photos, see what your rates are against competition or if touring seek areas with less competition.

It's alot of work to make decent money nowadays.

Agreed, there is often an initial high when you enter into the profession and get all the local hobbyists etc but after a few years you have to treat the job like any other provider of an expensive entertainment service, and put in a lot of work to keep ticking.

I’m in Lymm today not one single call.
Not even a time waster
Think today is gonna be 0 clients

Shocking

It's my first day in Warrington and I've had two bookings. Phone been virtually silent since midday.
Mad because I was super busy in Leeds all last week.
North West is never a good area for me, saturated with choice I think.

Are you sure your number is showing
I know a lot of ladies numbers haven’t been showing over the past week due to the new phone number thing on AW

What is the phone number thing? I have paid for featured, but not been able to find myself. Whenever I get in touch with AW they send me a screen shot of my profile, but I still can’t find myself.

Exactly the same here. I've got anxiety disorder and this situation is really not helping x


Agree I’m only just making my rent and bills. And I had got rid of my anxiety over this job and I can feel the disorder coming back. The panic of never knowing where the next pound is coming from.

Bristol is very quiet for me I had one job in two days  :FF

I hope it gets better for us all after Easter ladies.

I think a major problem is the amount of fake and spam profiles. I know there's always been fake profiles but now on every single site, even the reputable ones it's just full of them. I think clients are tired of being scammed and aren't bothering. AW neex to really crack down because its destroying our business.  If I see anither 'new party girl in town!' profile I'll scream.  I know this thread is popular and everyone has quiet times but this feels very different. I was busier during covid than now. Its literally like clients have fallen off the face of the earth.

And hotel costs! One week its affordable, the next it's over £1k for a week- and theres no special events on either.

March has been quiet for me over recent years but this month has been okay. It's also week before pay day, isn't it? This time of any month is usually quiet. I'm sure things will pick up next month  :)

If you paid for featuring ( the one where you bid )
Your better of searching for yourself on the desktop

Your profile should be at the top of the page for say North West above other ladies and then say you were in Manchester you would be at the top the North West Manchester page

On the app you it’s more difficult to see
And the featured escort page changes so your not always on that bit

I have two jobs booked in this evening in Bristol and I’ve had to start taking deposits to ensure they come. I’ve just started getting strict with clients now.
