Hi,

6-7 per day in 30 or 60 minute intervals keeps me going from 11am until around 9pm. That’s what I call busy. Love counting at the end ;-)

I think it very much depends on each person as an individual and what your financial goals are.Busy for me was 6 a day and it was probably too much for me realistically.3 was a what I called a good day,as in enough for me financially without frazzling my mind and body.1 could be quite enough though if it was a longish booking.

I'm similar to Kit really. Even when I wasn't doing my civvy job (the first 4-5 months) I considered four a day busy. Now more than five clients in a week would be unusual for me.

When I’m touring I don’t work by amount of clients  I work by how much I want to make per day and I generally have a target that I want to hit
Some days  I can get it by 3 clients by 2pm it depends on how long the bookings are and the prices   that the client has paid
 but even if I make my target with 3 clients by say 2pm I will carry on working till my usual finish time which is anything from 7pm - 9pm depending on how I feel and if I’m engrossed in anything on Netflix 😂

It also depends on how late I want to work I don’t generally work late or past 9pm as I start early
But I’m pretty sure if I worked till 11pm I could easily rake in a few hundred quid more
 Last night my last booking was at 9pm I had a very strange day brilliant start with a two hour and a
1 hr booking  and a 30 mins all by 2pm then dead till 5pm  then it went crazy and I didn’t stop till 9pm
When I checked my phone I missed lots of calls after 9pm so I’m sure I could have done at least 2 more bookings if I was prepared to work a bit later

When I’m at home though  I’m a lazy cow and will try to do 2 bookings a day but like I said I’m lazy and I turn down a lot of work every day
It’s much slower at home so although I could be busier I lose the motivation to stick it out 😂

It varies from person to person but a busy day for me would be 4/5+

I go on a week by week or even month by month basis, because I generally see longer bookings 2 hours plus etc, so its not so much a numbers game. Something else I like to keep an eye on is amount of return clients and new clients; if I'm not getting a good mix of both I would worry because if I'm just getting returns by advertising needs a game up and if I'm just getting new guys I need to be better 'in the room' as it were. I like consistency also, more than being busy per se, I don't like things to be too erratic, or to do too many and burn out, playing the long game and all that. On the very rare occasion I tour I like to do at least 4 though, otherwise it feels pointless, and a busy tour is 6/7.

I used to work a ridiculous amount, seeing anything up to 8 clients in a day (I would work 3 days per week of this). Now, I see up to 5 clients (all 1 hour minimum, 4 days per week) - that would be a busy day for me. Most of the time, I see two or three as they are often more than an hour booking and I don't have the same drive as before. I'm quite happy having 3 hour long bookings in a day and not feeling like my vagina or patience has been ripped apart.
