So, I have booked a hotel for 17th (I night but could be extended) and advertised on AW last night.
I haven't had any bookings yet BUT when I should expect them to start??
-
I wouldn't bother making any firm arrangements until the day before on on the day itself unless you've seen them before. The trouble is, you'll keep turning people away for a week on the strength of a phone call from somebody who'll more than likely cancel the evening before or not confirm on the morning.
Have you put a tour ad up? That way people who aren't specifically looking at your profile will see it :).
-
You never know! I don't think it's possible to predict anything in this job x
-
What's a 'tour ad?'
-
Well it's really for if you're going to be working in another area, but if you're only going to be available in the hotel over two days it wouldn't hurt. I've seen plenty of people advertising in the touring section for their base area, so it's obviously possible to do it.
Tour ads only show if you're paying to display your number, though. I still wouldn't be making concrete arrangements this far ahead.
-
Have to say that I agree. I wait to see how much interest I get first to check it will be worthwhile before booking a hotel.
Is the booking something you can get out of Iif necessary or have you already paid/given card details?
-
It's directly but they have told me I can cancel up to lunchtime the day before without penalty.
My area is touristy all year round and the hotels get booked up very quickly so I knew I had to book. I doubt I'd leave it until the day before to cancel though. If I've no interest two days before I'll throw in the towel!!
-

Don't.
I mean, I wouldn't. I'd say you'll appreciate taking the risk!
When I did my first incalls, I was freaked out I was going to lose the money and I only had one call from a guy who sounded suspicious!
But I walked away with profit :D Still haven't left a hotel with less money than I started, even if it's a modest amount, I'm happy!
There's A LOT of same day bookings in the Incall business. But you do have to put in the effort to advertise...add some more pictures or videos or do some blogging...

I feel really sorry for you, new girls in uk when comes to strating in the bussiness. When it's come to Holland and Belgium all you simply need is a good photos and sim card, you place an add on redlights.be in Belgium, kinky.nl in Holland and the phone starts ringing. The newer you are the better. I can' imagine waiting for clients when I am new. Maybe aw really isn't the best site to advertise.

I did a similar thing to the OP, started with outcalls then switched to incalls from a hotel. That was after months on AW - suspect you're no longer considered new by then and won't show up on newbie searches, so it might be tougher to get that kind of business. But I really don't know!
I'm sure if you started out on AW as a pure newbie with an incall place you'd get all the fresh meat p(hunters).
-
You should really advertise on other webistes, maybe backpage.co.uk

I second that. I think backpage is good, and cheap. Especially for same-day bookings :D

I would leave the hotel booking to the very latest time for cancelling and not cancel that early. You should be able to gauge by calls if you may get interest on the day. On many occasions it is a guess but there is as much chance of you being right as their is for being wrong.
Its not an easy business to start off with and you really need to get yourself on to as many free websites as possible. Watch you dont choose the crappy ones though that you may get a lot of timewasters from.
The other sites you advertise on depends on where you stay for what works in one area may not work in another. Whoring is a lot of trial and error sadly and we just got to go with the flow. Google some of the established girls in your area and see where else they are advertised and it may help.

Yeah it isn't like that here unfortunately. When I started I needed money for a deposit to move house, and I expected bookings within the first few days. The reality was it took a few weeks for things to get going.
I've actually read on punter forums that some guys wait until a girl's profile has been up 3-6 months before they will go and see here so they know she is established, if on AW has feedback and is obviously doing OK to keep advertising. I guess they have to weed out the idiots and timewasters just the same as we do.

So they like us a bit seasoned??

*yet another reminder that other forums and their contents/members are off topic here*
Just like everything else that's down to personal preference, some do and some don't. If all punters liked the same thing then only about 2% of prossies would ever get any work :).

Its not entirely true, it depends how you advertise yourself, if you have good pictures, if you provide a good service and gain good feedbacks fast. I helped with all that a friend of mine who is very succesfull after 6 weeks from starting. And I mean very succesfull :)

Well up to now I have only advertised on AW and I have been busy from day one, which was in July. In fact I have to turn business away :FF, which is why I am looking for an in call place. I have yet to launch my web site although it is up and ready but I am worried about turning clients away. The hotel situation is getting me down now.
-
It must be down to area then. :-\

IMO it is down to age, location, prices, services and most of all the presentation of your profile. You could live/work in an area with a high population of prossies of the same age etc and this will lower booking opportunities.
@ CC. Don't worry about having to turn anyone away, if they had gotten in quicker you would have seen them if you wanted. If they really want to see YOU and not a random person then they will call again.
Why is the hotel situation getting you down so soon? You are still in the honeymoon period of whoring, it seems rather quickly to become disillusioned. Are you thinking of giving up your FT job and whoring FT.
The reason I ask is, you are a newbie and will get the initial flurry and then through time it will wean off. You could find a great incall apartment in time and then find that work has depleted and it's hardly worth it, especially when you add on all the service charges and buy in the items you require for a second location.
Perhaps you would be happier using service apartments where your husband could be in the lounge while you are working.
Remember also, for an incall apartment, you still have to pay all the extra bills over the quiet periods ie holiday periods like Christmas and New Year, your personal holiday, public holidays and when it goes quieter.
I've given all these negatives just to remind others too. I always had an incall apartment when I was whoring but it was my full time occupation, I would never have dreamt of doing that had whoring just been PT for me.

Well I am definitely going to scale down my other job and doing more whoring. But depends on what is termed full time in whoring, I am looking to be doing less hours than in my day job but also increase my income. Yes we have considered serviced apartments and will probably give them ago before making any commitment to a working flat. It's the whole palaver of carting all the stuff needed to hotels the worry of getting it together and not forgetting anything, hanging round between jobs ( I do like to leave a good hour between bookings) checking in checking out. It all just dose my head in. I feel if I was in my own place I would be more chilled and could accommodate more bookings.
I seem to have a steady stream of interested parties and I have been told by a couple of them that I am the only one in this area with my credentials. I seem to have inadvertently hit a niche in the market here. Also I am on excellent links for North Wales which seems to be a dry area, cheshire, Manchester and Lancashire. So I feel I have fell very lucky. I only have a few years left in me for this job I should think so I need to make hey while the sun shines.
By the way LL I think your advice is fantastic and soak up every thing you say. :)

Well Carnal, I might not be a seasoned whore but I have a LOT of life experience. ;D
There are not that many girls in my area but I am working on a fabulous website. I got someone to do it for me. I am very, very determined and I know it will work for me in the long run.
I usually get what I want! Gosh, I'm a cheeky whore!! :-*
-
Lucielee you go girl. That is all you need life experience and determination. The work is out there, as a friend of mine used to say for every pot there is a lid and the same analogy applies to this work. Bait the line, cast it out and hook em in. I am certainly not seasoned and still green behind the ears in this line of work. But willing to learn. At 57 I have been around the block more than once but I may have missed something so will keep learning as I go. Cheeky whores are sought after I believe ;) :D ;D
