Hi, I took a look also at your site and I would like to suggest that you make your contact details available on every page. Maybe at the bottom ad a like to "contact me", so no matter where they are they can click to send you an email. Also put you phone number in the master page, so it appears on all pages. Also you may want to ad a picture to rates page as well, something sexxxy. Good luck.

Thanks anna, ive made alot of improvements over the last 2 hours thanks to people on here and I think its looking alot better already!

Theres no way I can offer incalls at my home as I live with 6 other students in a house, and I dont think I really need to do incalls from hotels etc as I really only want 2 or 3 clients a week, I was just worried as I literally had no potential clients at all!!

Thanks UA thats good to hear, stats like that 90% are really worrying, it almost makes me wish I had joined the agency I nearly signed upto as all this organizing outcalls etc is stressful!!

I was thinking about getting a proper web address but im worried about having to set up my website again, it took me so long to even do something simple like add a picture and I just know I will have forgotten and will have to figure it out again- im so rubbish on computers! I think I might just see how it goes with the improvements ive made  and then maybe get a new address.

you dont have to do the website again.  you buy the domain name and link it to the site.  here, this is how i did it.

http://www.123-reg.co.uk/

that site should explain it all properly.

Late to the party as usual  ;D Firstly [pedant/]'Discreet' in this context is spelt like I just did, with a double 'e'. 'Discrete' (as on every other site on the internet, certainly not just yours) means 'separate from'.[pedant/] And why does everyone spell 'lose', as 'loose'? Anyway...

I think your site is fine and nicely designed but I have only just seen it - your photos are great; if you took them yourself you've done a very good job! Agreed about the domain names - your fees seem relatively high for a new escort in your area but having your own domain does make you look more like you mean it, however unfair it may be.

Don't forget it is the run up to Christmas - I'm sure many ladies are finding it less busy; I have been lucky to have had a really good week and am busy next week too (although the snow is scuppering things a bit today!) but I do incalls and would be struggling if I didn't. No matter what anyone tells you, it does make a difference - I started off doing outcalls only when i was part time and did OK (and if this is all you want to do it may be enough) but incalls make a hell of a difference. Have you thought about booking a hotel room one or two days a week? You can put on your site that incalls are available on, say, Mondays and Thursdays - this will encourage clients to book ahead if they know that availability is limited.

PS: The Village Hotel Nottingham (near Beeston) often has special offers and a pool, lots of parking and very anonymous. DON'T go to the Travellodge at Ashby-de-la-Zouch. I speak from bitter experience :D.

Your website looks good to me. My comment is that your review is valuable. Rather than just having a bit on the rates page (which doesn't make sense and is easy to miss), I think you should create a separate page for them. Since you only have one at the moment you can pad it out with something about where clients can leave reviews if they want, or some quotes from thankyou emails if you have some and get permission.

I agree that getting a domain is worth it, and if you're only listed on punterlink you should get on many more sites (after you get your domain). Have a look at my site, there are a lot of good free directories on the front page.

Incalls would get you more business, but you can certainly get the amount of work you want from outcalls. Something that worked for me was booking a place (hotel or holiday flat) for a few days where people could visit me. I set up a mailing list on yahoogroups and told people to join it if they were interested, then when I was ready hundreds of punters would get the message. When I was studying I did it after lectures had finished but before school holidays started. I know it sounds like you'd need to concentrate your bookings too much, but they get easier when you're a bit more experienced, as well as when you don't need to travel. I found that working harder for a short time and then talking a couple of days off was worth it.

Finally, the reduction in interest isn't your fault. This is the time of year when people get more frugal as they start paying for christmas, and it can only be worse this year.

Remember, escorting usually involves them catering to your every need, not vice versa. Maybe some of the others here could give a bit of an advice to make you sound desired by all the guys around. You dont have to say you want to cater to them and fulfill their needs...they want to fulfill your every needs, which is partly why they are paying you.

UA, I'm beginning to think that this dose you got the other day is affecting your brain ;D.

Amber, I didn't even notice your review - you should definitely make it more prominent. Incidentally - is it correct that your Adultwork rates are different to your website rates? Sooner or later, somebody (else) is likely to ask why that is, especially if they're at the wrong end of it.

thankyou anjali i will definately pm when I get my domain name  :D
The reason I put my review there was because if I try to create a new page for it, just before the contact page, it cuts off half of the 'contacts' header, and I had no idea how to stop this. But I could make the contact page a subpage of welcome or something and link every other page to it, then get rid of it from the main menu, leaving enough room for the review page! At least i think that makes sense... ???

When you say it like that it does sound alot easier to set up an incall place for a few days, I actually have 4 days coming up where term has ended but im not yet home, although perhaps it would be useless as its so close to xmas?
And thankyou amy I will definately give the travellodge at ashby-de-la-zouch a miss, sounds like an interesting story?! :P

There is a difference between the 2 thats just how it is. maybe just for the male side of it. client pleases escort. Thats what I've always been used to

I wouldn't even listen to the "client pleases escort " theory to quote  Amy Winehouse "what kind of fuckery is this"???

I think your web/pics are  fine.I do think you are a little bit expensive for the Midlands/newbie, top end agencies around here are 150 per hour .
