The economy is absolutely dire and is having a massive effect. Also- someone left a fake negative feedback about me on the site 'that shan't be named' and it destroyed my business. Unfortunately the economy is going to get a lot worse.

This is true, costs are rising and wages are not in the UK. People do not have much money to save let alone spend on escorts. And the ones who do have money, have left for Dubai/USA/Thailand..the country has not recovered after Covid. I dont see things improving for a while.

oh wow! I feel like I'm the only one who has had it bad... I have uploaded a new profile picture and now offer 45 minutes, but I've still had no calls/texts for nearly a week. I use to have to turn my phone off due to the overwhelming amount of calls/texts that I use to get. I reckon it's probably the fake negative review that was uploaded [a review site] to tarnish my reputation as I noticed a decline in bookings since it uploaded.. Could I ask you ladies how much you charge per hour?

Do you only have an AW profile? If you don't already, especially in London, a website advertised on lots of directories and with good SEO can be a help. I find it also makes you less victim to the review culture, because most of those hobbyists are AW users, but there are other, less pedantic, joyless clients coming from elsewhere, and although they seem to be fewer in number, I find them nicer :)

In Heathrow it’s dead as a dodo. Two jobs in two days is becoming the norm.  :'(

I agree 👍🏼  Also, I know this might not be an option but if you can raise your rates a little, choose a more upmarket location if you can and brand yourself as more 'high class' (just fake it) this usually gets rid of the idiots. Also if you suspect someone is a reviewer say after the session that you don't allow reviews because of privacy concerns, it helps x

Hi deuxmoi, I did lower my prices but I found it didn’t really make any difference for the hour rate but I’m getting a few more booking for the half hour although it’s still not great, I ended up putting my hour back to where it was previously as I thought I’m doing the hour and getting less money, I am going to do some tours in April or may so ile see how they go. It does stress me out when I’m working away tho and I’ve got my little routine at home which I like x

Mercury is retrograde until 7th April. Business slows down.

For those who believe in these astrological matters!

My week went (finally) was the best it's been so far this year  I manifested everyday and it's either a coincidence or it worked, hoping April will be more steady.

Interesting you mention other countries.  Some of my "international clients" have said how London doesn't do it for them anymore as prices have gone up and they can get the "same" abroad but for cheaper.

For me, November to February are slower months for new faces but my regulars do see me.  From April/May things pick up and hopefully it'll be the same for you all.  Hybrid work has changed things but seems like more people returning to offices and conferences taking place so that helps with my bookings.

Which other countries? Perhaps eastern Europe or Italy/Amsterdam?

1 reg and a cple of newbies have made for a half decent week though 1 of the newbies could have cleaned his arse more thoroughly and the other, a trip to the dental hygienist wouldn't have gone amiss and brush/scrape your fecking tongue FFS!  When will men realise that this is a thing???
 Would have appreciated the reg not wanting to spend the entire hour with his tongue down my throat causing my glands to swell and be very painful a cple of days later ... not wondering why they have to pay for their pleasure  :-[  Beginning to think I should charge more but the tight asses in my area wouldn't want to pay.
Not working the weekend and seems crazy saying that shit above constitutes a half decent week when I could easily do 3 a day in times gone by but hey ho this is where we find ourselves and got a cple of repeat bookings lined up for next week so hoping things are on the up.
Lets hope the better weather gets their libidos rising too.

Still quite slow for me in London which sucks as I had a very busy December, January and February,

Just come back from Southampton only did 3 jobs in two days. Probably because it’s just before pay day but didn’t make much profit after paying a hotel. Next week should be better after pay day.

The last time I went to Southampton I left early and I have not and will not go back there again. Just like everywhere else, it used to be OK there.
