Working another job !!
« on: 24 November 2015, 01:24:15 pm »
Hello ladies , just a general question really , do the majority of you do escorting as your full time job or do you have another job also ? I have another job and find that I have to turn clients away at times because of the shifts I work . Do you find it hard work having another job whilst trying to build a business escorting ?! X

I did to start with even if you only work nights clients will still ring during the day because they simply don't read all the details on our profiles. If you think you would be happy doing this full time then think of everything first way the pros and cons, I combined my beauty business with my incall job and work from one business premises by appointment only and this works for me I love being self employed and able to choose my hours when I work.

I started my own online boutique a year past May that takes up a lot of my time in between clients.

I work to a pretty strict diary and work my other stuff around my escorting clients but only have a limit of 3 appointment spaces per day.

I work Monday-Thursday full time hours for escorting should anyone want to book me within those hours in advance but when it comes to same day appointments, if I am already booked up then I don't take anymore bookings as I never go above my limit.

And only just this past 6 weeks or so, I now work self employed in a salon on a Friday and Saturday which is basically the busy days in the salon.

I take a Sunday off.

So far it seems to work for me, I don't feel burnt out or anything. I used to feel more burnt out doing escorting full time and nothing else because of the isolation more than anything else I think.

I work full time sometimes over 40 hours a week and escort evenings and on weekends. I love the money but I have no time to do things I enjoy or like doing. It doesn't help that I'm not indie.. I have a guy who books for me and takes 1/2 the pay so instead of 300 I get 150 an hour. He also messages the men for me and updates my ads I still am deciding if it's worth it. I want more control over my schedule

I work full time and do this a few evenings a week. I would love to work ideally part time and do this a little more each week but I am scared of giving up civvy work. I want to continue to see escorting as a great supplement rather than to be dependant on it but...I think earning enough money from civvy work is getting harder and harder these days and it's so tiring working all the hours just to earn a living wage x

I have another job but it doesn't pay anything. I do more hours there than I do as an escort though. They compliment each other quite well.

He also pays for an apartment I work out of (and other girls work out of) do you still think it's not worth it?

None of us can work 24/7, and our phones will ring 24/7. I miss out on a LOT of work because I can't be lovely and sexy much past 9pm. In fact, if I haven't been booked by 7pm I start to mentally wind down and anyone calling is 8 is unlikely to get a booking. My point is that you can't worry about those guys you can't see. Think of the punters like salmon swimming past as they go upstream. You can't catch them all. You can only fish at certain times. Just focus on the times you can fish and forget about all the other salmon that you missed.

Put brilliantly - I couldn't agree more!

I'm the same as you once it gets to past 7pm I'm just about done for the day unless of course I have a pre-booked appointment. I don't worry about the ones who phone when I'm not working - it can be frustrating but if they really want to see me they will call back another time. If they are ones that call in the middle of the night then they are probably not the type I want to be seeing anyway!

I used to do it round a full time job, but the need for money whilst important I didn't need to do many as I had a reasonable salary, but in those days I could do one day a week and see lots of men then, I suspect it's harder now starting up.

Then I went full time and had to work much harder at advertising, getting a website and hanging around waiting for bookings. Now I have other freelance work I divide my days between civvy and non civvy, but as I work from home mostly it's easy to see someone in between other work, It's the best of both worlds for me, but I think having been full time for 4 years means I have an established client base who will work around me.

I still have days when I feel disappointed when I've been out all day with civvy work to come home to loads of missed calls and days when I decide will be an escorting day and nothing much happens. I suspect everyone experiences quiet days and manic days, it's hard to control or predict.
