Cat  that is a great list, the only other things I can think of are to extend your availablity if you can and blog.  And be consistant.  If you have a special offer for Saturday from 12pm until 6pm, stick to it.  Don't keep chopping and changing things, it takes time for things to filter down to the masses. If you keep changing services rates times etc clients will think you are unreliable and flaky.

Oh yeah check your listings/links make sure they are active and if they have pictures update those pictures.

Added :)

Paris, do you show your face in the videos. And if not, how do you go around it?

If you click on my adultwork profile that i posted above you can see my video  i basically did this one myself  i used my webcam on my laptop  and i pointed at my boobs 
i worked out how long it was going to take me and set it on a time for 10 seconds over it and then just recorded 
it took me several attempts to get it right it often dose 
i do the same thing  for other videos as well  if you have a client you know well you can always ask him to hold the camera for you   
if you have an iphone ipad or blackberry they all have reverse camera so you can record while you see yourself in the camera so you know what your doing

is there anyway that this can be either a sticky or put with the advertising thing that i wrote ages ago  its very good and informative  and simple to read as we always seem to get people asking  the same stuff    ;D  and this could easily get lost amongst other posts

thank goodness for repeat customers this week as otherwise I'd be having a very quiet week.
Not a huge amount happening. Doing ok. But worried.
Coin is ok though.
75% of business were repeats.
How do newbies survive?

My week slowed down to a full stop  :(

My repeats are very irregular so whilst I am grateful to them I cannot really depend on them in any particular week\month\3 monthly period.

Ouch, that is really tough.
I hate football too, and I'm sure it will pick up for you afterwards.
Repeats are brill and a known quantity to a degree,
but where have all the new clients gone.
My repeats are irregular too. Some haven't seen me for a month, some for years.
It's like that every week, though different clients. Once they see me first time they always come back. Though their orbital distance hugely varies.
But when I get a new client it's like "Oh!"

Bugger. I want to move.  Based on 2011, that's 41% of my business gone instantly.   :(

I'm wondeing how the Olyimpics is going to affect us. Will it bring in more business, along with the tourists?

I've heard that hotel prices are going to rise sharply.

It doesn't help that where I live football IS a religion.

The Olympics seem very remote up here in Scotland.

If it turns out to be more than a big malefootballLOVEIN I might have to think of touring again next month.

Just had a text from a 'regular' who lately has become a pain in the arse and on the way to fast becoming an 'ex regular' :FF
He's got into the habit of texting late at weekends when he's had a 'few' and asking for a quicky. I do them, during working hours and they can be a great money spinner. He knows my hours, I give him discount as it is 'cos he was one of my first clients and we got on ok. (he doesn't have cheesy bits!!) Usually ignore him but tonight, bombarded with texts/missed calls (phone goes on silent/divert from 9pm until about 11pm in case of bookings for next day, then goes off) I just replied to last text, saying yes, ok, but it's ?60 as I class after 9pm as unsociable hours... I expect he's gone for a familiar alternative... a fuzzy old porn film, a can of beer in the left hand and his nob in t'other... Times are hard but standards of practice are essential for my well being!
