I'm coming up 10 years in the industry, albeit with some breaks in between.

I have worked every way possible - local city, outcalls, travel trips, tours, webcam, phone, fan sites. I've literally done it all.

My marketing is quite wide, and take almost no bookings via AW. When I first started, this was probably the only site I used. Now I rely on my website and directories.

I can genuinely say, this is the quietest year I have ever experienced. Including the covid year.

I still get good work with a mix of regulars and new clients.

Am I run off my feet? No.

Is work consistent? Hell no.

I feel as though each month just resets the rat race and am stuck in a loop of trying to make the money I need to cover my outgoings. I am by no means living a luxurious life, or able to squirrel away cash for a rainy day.

I very much am looking forward to a civvy life. I have other projects I am working on with a view of them taking over as my main income. If I keep SW in my life, it will be purely as a side hustle with no financial pressures attached to it.

Everyone I speak to is in the same boat. Yes, the work is there but it's definitely not as much or as consistent as what my previous experiences were.

I'm genuinely uncertain whether I'm going to go back to SW. I probably will but I need to mull it over. I think I have a couple of options, irons in the fire so to speak, but the economy terrifies me. I was told this business was recession proof  :(

I think Amy is right with what she says about AW ... very quiet since they launched the new site etc ...
These days there are no Prince Charmings. A girl just has to be her own hero

i think the new mobile site is putting some clients off.  i am getting a majority of clients this year from vivastreet and my personal website.

I think I will sort a second mobile out and do vivastreet as well as adultwork.

VS works very well in some areas. However, I have seen a drop in income from there this last year. Also there are MANY time wasters on VS. In my experience anyway. No harm in trying it out.

I've just come back from a 3 and a half day in Cheltenham and while I made target every day and it was definitely worth going, it felt likevery heavy going getting the comms done, I had very few evening enquiries it seemed to fall of the edge of the world at 6pm.

I have noticed there's a trend for requiring a lot of explanation, everything explained. I'm also finding myself pre empting many questions & situations.

Anyone else find Mondays a nightmare? Or Moron Monday as I call them.
The texts/calls starts about 9am, you can tell it's not going to lead to a booking by the idiotic questions they ask.
By 11am I'd had a no show and blocked 3 others and after that ... tumbleweed... zilch.   :FF

Sadly most days are moron days lately and especially Saturdays in my case. However, the drama started already at 7:50 AM for me today. By 10:00 AM I had blocked 6 guys and it continued throughout the day. Including 3 BB clients!!!

I’ve started a 7 day tour today in West Croydon, arrived at 3pm. Had 3 text message's one asking for pictures when my pictures are clearly from where they got the number from (VS) and 2 asking for prices, that’s it ! Had one AW email wanted a booking for 15 minutes with everything included for peanuts lol I declined of course. Mondays are usually quiet for me working from home but I at least get one or two bookings and lots of enquiries whether its TW’s or not. My phone hasn’t rung once today. Slow is an understatement its dead completely dead. I at least want to make what I paid for accommodation and travel in 7 days. It’s terrible let’s hope tomorrow is better. Probably call it a day at 10pm. I usually work 10am to 6pm, im trying 10am to 10pm to see if there is any difference but the way things have gone today I don’t think there is. I put my ads on from yesterday evening as well location wise and thought id wake this morning with a lot of calls messages but nothing. I’ll update tomorrow !! If anyone in the area? How are you doing ? Don’t think i can sit here for 7 days like this lol

It does make you wonder where all the genuine clients are, lately it's just my regs and a few recent repeat clients.
Had a new one yesterday who I regretted as soon as he walked in the door.
Nice enough guy but bad teeth and a smell from him I recognised, alcohol abuse, that smell just lingers.
So obviously no kissing and really didn't want him going down on me but how else to fill the time??
Kept it to a minimum then gave him oral, no way he could get a full erection (the alcohol abuse I'm guessing) he finished himself off and I blocked as soon as he was out the door.

Haha. Awww. No kissing, why not??? LOL. Yikes. Bad teeth is a big no no for me. You did the right thing by blocking him. Good bye, don’t come back!
