It varies still having my busier days like 4 yesterday and quiet days like 2 a day. As I work full time every day, the amount of clients doesn't need to be high.

Thankfully someone's switched my green (or shoud it be red? :D ) light on again, and everything's picked right back up.

Yes- same here. Mondays used to be my busiest days once upon a time, but now they are dead. Instead, Tuesdays or Fridays are much better than they used to... ???

Hi, am new to the website but just wanted to mention that it has been really dead for me, too - over the past 2-3 weeks. It's like all the men have vanished off the planet, or have all lost their mojo at the same time.  I understand that recession and Christmas coming up are partly responsible, but this is ridiculous.  I am nearly tempted to dish out ?400 for a photo shoot ...money which I don't have.... but wondering if I shall be kicking myself later when I realise it has made no difference.

On the other hand I think that, there's something wrong with me and men just don't like my pics, all of a sudden. Even though I switch them round and update them I still get a pathetic level of interest.

Granted, I am not the most glamorous woman out there, I'm older and I'm not a size 10, so I guess all the skinny 20 somethings are getting all the jobs.  I don't know - I try and try and promote myself - sometimes spending up to 4 hours a day if not more - but it makes no difference. Compared to the amount of bookings I was getting up to a couple of months ago, this is pitiful.

Hi- I am 21 and size 8-10 and I have good feedback etc on aw and I have my own site that is on first page for google in reading, I have been ridiculously quiet these past few months- with the odd few day from regulars making it a Rothschild day. Today I am in Cardiff and I am going home cancelled my room for tomorrow because I have only had 1 hour booking at ?130 and 2x half hour bookings so I have only covered my room and fuel really. I'm still getting about 3-4 a day but these are mixed in with half hour appointments. Up until September I was doing about 600 quid plus a day. Lucky I've saved it! But I have a 2 and a half year old and also need money for Xmas pressies.

Yep, it's definitely pretty sucky lately. Thanks for your input, at least it's made me feel it's not specifically an age/size thing. I just wish I could stop thinking I need to be doing something, or changing something.  The enquiries are trickling in so s-l-o-w-l-y...  and had two TW's yesterday which is unusual for me.  I keep thinking my website needs a revamp but even though I keep fiddling with it, it makes no freaking difference.  I get a quite a large amount of hits -- but out of all those, NADA. As for AW, it's like a cemetery over there. I don't even get any replies back on RB's which is also unusual. Don't know what's going on.

I think that there are too many women around and i only offer a gfe, like so many others.
Also my rates aren't expensive- i have put them down since i first started from ?150 to ?130 for an hour.
But it seems to me there are a lot of people wanting a standard half hour booking, and I am not really getting longer bookings like i used to! I am not turning down work like i used to- i used to have constant phone calls.
Reading has always been known for being busy but now we have 6 pages of girls mainly all offering incalls and prices are as low as ?59 per hour all in including A levels, I cannot compete with that because I have bigger overheads and to be honest I think me personally would lack the motivation to work for ?59 an hour.
I think if we hang on in there, then after Xmas other girls will get fed up and quit because there isn't room for all of us.
I have booked a photo session with carlyg so i am hoping that this will give me a boost for the new year!!

How strange it is from going to a reasonable amount of business to dead quietness today. Apart from a few calls inquiring about later. The funniest though is when a client asked what will I do for 20 pound. I sure was thinking after about just how bad this recession is getting. Or maybe the run up to Christmas. My fingers are crossed for 2013 hopefully will be a better year.

I was very lucky at the weekend, i was booked for 11 hours over two days! i was so suprised, i have a full time job too but that extra money will go into savings etc, i must admit my home town is dead for escort bookings, if i tour i make almost three times the profit.

Yeah weekends have been really busy for me recently the past few weeks. Had so many enquiries today and two solid bookings which suits me great. I'm off all this weekend though so roll on Monday!

I wouldnt bank on it being that much busier after Christmas. 

Ive said it before and Ill say it again and the others will be sick of me saying it but in Scotland there are FOUR TIMES AS MANY GIRLS NOW as there was 3 years ago and the number HASNT gone down.  I dont expect it to be much different in other areas of the UK either.

Many of the girls who are working now are working because they cant get another job so they may just try and get something PT and do escorting PT, so if you are looking for the megabucks coming up again, then dont hold your breath. 

If anyone has the chance to save just now it is advised so that they can survive when things get really quiet in February.  :(

Beauty is nothing to do with having a pretty face.
It is about having a pretty mind, a pretty heart,
And most importantly a beautiful soul.

If it's anything like the last couple of years, the number of ladies will either stay the same or go UP after Xmas as the bills and credit card statements start coming in. There'll be even more cammers and phone chatters too, as the ladies who can't/won't escort will join for an "easy quick buck" (ha!).

I have to say, *touch wood* my mysterious dry spell after the Summer/early Autumn has cleared up and I'm chugging along as before. Of course there's quiet days, and extra busy days, but as long as the overall month's earnings is what I need/want/comparable to last month/year (however I'm judging my earnings that day/month) then I'm not going to worry.

Edited to add - plus I judge how successful my business is by the overall YEARLY takings and comparing to previous years. Month by month can be too variable to judge accurately.
