Hi All. I'm brand new to escorting and wanted to ask you folks what is the one thing you wish someone had told you at the beginning......so glad I found this place!

Make sure you keep an appointments diary with a list of every booking, what your fee was, and which method of advertising the client found you through.

This means you can analyse the success of your different advertising, which days of the week and times are most popular (and which locations if you tour) PLUS you'll have your income all totted up come tax return time.

How to identify obvious timewasters .

It's not quite the same but similar; I started working with bar hustling and then newspaper ads, so when I came back and everything had gone online I had no idea what I was doing - one of the first websites I ever saw was my own. I got all the predictable stupid emails and because I thought email must be more serious I answered every single one. God knows how many hours of my life I spent replying to massive long wankfests and the rest

That I could charge an outcall fee. Back in the day that is when lovely dinner dates and oucalls were prevalent. I had been known to travel 40 miles in cab before if I had missed a train somewhere. Also I thought I had to do OWO and put up with questionable hygiene and didn't pop some lube on my lady bits before the sex so was often uncomfortable. I used to carry a portable cd player with me everywhere too, God knows why

May have been an obvious one to some.. but save save save!!

When I started my first stint, I was bloody clueless about money in general and I was also so used to the money being so quick to come by that I never put any money aside that I wouldn't ever touch because in my head, I knew that if I ever needed money I'd soon have access.

There might come a time where you want to quit this line of work (or maybe even just take a temporary break) for whatever reason and there's no worse feeling than feeling trapped because you're not financially in a position to leave.

I think this work can give you a lot of freedom, so long as you manage it properly.

What VC said aswell!!!! Note down everything! X

This a thousand times over.
Also that I didn't need to be self conscious or have self doubt over my physical imperfections.

Ironically, the best advice is sometimes to not listen to what everyone else tells you ha! But I think it’s just about being aware of who and where you look for advice too. I think take on board the important information that seems to be a general consensus, especially within the walls of Saafe (as more likely than not it’s going to be pretty solid advice!) but I think it’s important to trust your own instincts too and make things work for you as we all do things in different ways.

Also, buy as much lube and condoms you can manage, in all sizes!

Wow ladies.....thank you sooooooo much. I almost teared up with the generosity you have shown me.

Will take all of it on board. It will be twelve months this June and boy has it been a learning curve. Wished I had found this place back then. I made some huge mistakes but getting wiser.

Really appreciate your help!!!!

I wish somebody had told me to keep a straight job going, even if it was just a Saturday job in a small boutique or similar. Not being able to convincingly talk about 'work' is very isolating in social situations, unless you're out and proud.

The bigger the gap in your CV, the less likely you are to find your way back to a 'straight' life, unless you have the personality for self-employment or small entrepreneurism. Maybe start building an ebay channel. A girlfriend of mine picks up stuff in charity shops to re-sell for a small profit on ebay, and now has reached superseller status. It's not massively profitable, but nobody questions why she hasn't got a fixed work schedule or how she makes a living. Also, she really enjoys it.

I'm seriously thinking of doing something. On quiet days I'm starting to get so bored. I had a really stressful job in the rat race and the novelty of not having that stress was amazing at first but running out of things to decorate. Thanks for your advice xxx

I learnt so much about time wasters......my god in the beginning I used to get into so many email threads. 10 emails now and I'm out. If they send me a pic of their willy or ask me to tell them what I'm going to do to them I instantly block them now......still get stung occasionally but won't have wasted half as much time as I used to.
