Newbie on tour
« on: 17 September 2021, 09:09:23 am »
Hello to all the ladies  :) I’m new to this forum.
Anyhow, I plan to come to London to start working as independent escort. I’m foreigner and I have never worked or lived in UK before, I come from one small European country.
I have worked as high class escort with agency before in Germany charging 600€ per hour. But Germany is dealing with sex work much differently then UK. Taxes over there are HUGE, there are brothels 24/7 and cheap sex on every corner of the street, destroying the business on every level with such huge availability and as sex is very available clients are becoming rude and pushy, they don’t respect boundaries and demand some services just because “everyone else is doing it for 3 times lower prices”.
I’m honestly sick of it, I have friend who works in the USA and from her experience it’s much better to do sexwork in any countries then Germany nowadays. She recommended London to me.

So I was thinking what would be the best way to start as independent in UK/London as I have no previous experience with this city and with being independent.

Personally I prefer and I’m used to do outcalls only, but reading this forum seems like outcalls are not that common in London and incalls are a must if you want to make good 💷

I would charge 400£ per hour. And let’s say I do incalls, I would need to take more expensive hotel to match up my prices, but having no previous experience in this city and which hotels are good for work there, I’m afraid hotel would find out what I’m doing and make me big troubles. And also, there is possibility I don’t have much clients as I’m newbie with no regulars and that my hotel expenses are much higher or same as my earnings. Definitely not a good idea.

Would renting a regular *nothing posh* working flat per day or week be okay with this price per hour?
I also don’t like idea of sleeping where I work, so I would rent hotel room separately.

I have seen some foreign girls who tour in London charge even more then I would, they all provide incalls and I wonder how they manage this as foreigners or from where exactly they work.

I would be very thankful for all advices and ideas of how to manage this situation. Kind regards to all the helpful ladies here 💜

Am curious to know how you arrived on £400 an hour? This is way higher than the average price for a 1 hour incall in London, and for outcalls too.

Remember, just because there are women charging these prices, it doesn't mean they are seeing lots of clients or even working every day. I know a few who charge £400+ an hour because they're not looking for new clients and/or their longer appointments are more value for money (for example, they might charge £600 for 2 hours, £750 for 3 hours etc etc). Don't be swayed by agency prices, they should only be taken into account if you're planning on using an agency, and if you do, remember, agencies taken between 30-50% of the listed fee.

As for women who tour, often they advertise and take bookings (and deposits) in advance. Others work through an agency and pay a commission - some agencies provide an incall location. Or they might do something else completely. Hopefully someone who works in this way will post something of use.

If you do opt to work from a hotel, you can either charge a deposit and use that to book the room, or you can list your availability on your website or directory listing and book a room only when you have confirmed bookings. However, as I am sure you know, clients can be flakey. Many who book in advance cancel, and others prefer to book same day. Be advised that if you do opt to host in calls, many will not pay a deposit for this either.

I only do outcalls so am not really best placed to advise other than to say that if I was in your position and looking to make (lots of) money, I would charge a lower fee. And once you have built up a clientele, then by all means, charge £400 an hour!

£400 per hour is a lot, even in London. I think at that price your customers would be expecting specialist/niche services such as PSE and all night parties with coke use.

Unless you intend the £400 to cover a dinner date followed by private time? 400 would be fair for 1.5hrs restaurant dare followed by 2hrs private time.

I don't think this is reflective, at least not from what I have seen - dinner dates tend to be upwards of £600/650 although I have seen them as low as £500/£550 on Adultwork and various agencies, and I know many who successfully charge £1000+. But £400, no.

OP could easily charge £400 for 2 hours or even 90 minutes.
