Geesh girl! You were banking with EGFc.. You had kick ass reviews last time I checked. Have you been checking them on TER for updates to see what has been posted? You never know what is putting a damper on your money and congrats on telling your bf! That's awesome! I'm glad everything's working out for yall!
Going indy, You'll need:
skills of a private detective.
a laptop
at least $500 to start depending on where you live
An UPSCALE incall location (Use priceline ..get a 3 1/2-5 star hotel and btw 31/2 on priceline really means 4 star.. just FYI) (I wouldn't advice a beginner to start doing outcalls right off the bat)
Big doggie - Sign up as an escort $20 a month.. some make a mistake and sign up as a client
escorts.com - $50 a month
Cityvibe - $50 a month
Eros base ad - $95 a month
Make use of the TER discussion board for texas (Free)
Just a ball park figure!
I said $500 .. don't forget your hotel.. oh and a prepaid cell phone!
Get registered on Date-check(free).. I can verify you :)
Sign up to preferred 411 (free)
please don't forget to link to your TER reviews. I've read yours and their kick ass you better start using em girl!!!
Don't forget she needs to have a little money saved up for an emergency fund, just in case she has a bad week. (Like the week before last, for example, after expenses I only made $200. I was PISSED.)
depends on which one...there's one in particular by this one lady...i'm not naming names, but she does a book on indie escorting and starting an agency....she's a nut. seriously. she has some rule where she has to call you and talk to you and if you refuse she won't sell you the book, and she'll put all your info on this blog of hers. plus it's really overpriced.
a lot of indie girls only advertise with just their email addy so your phone is not ringing constantly. the higher the rate, the less calls you have to take.
plus, once you get going, you could always hire an assistant.

You could get prebook appointments but keep in mind not many men prebook. You can always offer a discount if they prebook say $20 off or something..lol! Ditto at paying for a hotel and the guy not showing up. Look at it as an investment and ALWAYS put ALL your money in the bank. When i was working for the agency I got so used to having to go to the bank of america to make THEIR deposit and then going to suntrust to deposit my half in my account that it stuck with me. I make my deposits the morning after the appointment (never make deposits at night via atm).
I always have a sitter on call. I found my sitter on care.com and she's SUCH a sweetheart. She's more like a nanny .. sometimes she'll come over and just to hangout with us/watch the game and my daughter loves her. She's good people girl! Don't be afraid of hiring someone to watch the kids.

Bambi, I'm sorry things are working out right now - it definitely sounds like Independent might be the way to go if you can get it set up right. I feel like the whole point of being with an agency is that they make it easier for you in return for a cut of the pay.... but they're not making it very easy for ya at all. Seems like maybe everything is getting on top of you at once, when all you wanna do is your best. Hate those times!
When you guys talk about getting a hotel and then the guy not showing up, what do you mean? Like, you get a hotel and hope for some calls but no-one is interested on those days? Or you have guys say they'll be there but then for some reason they just don't show? If a guy makes the effort to go through screening and set a time, it would suck that he bailed out!
Also, when you 'participate' on the TER discussion boards, dya mean participate as in, general chat like on SWeb? Or specific, 'find as many posts you can sell yourself in'?. I guess maybe guys that are regulars there are also regular clients and want to interact with you before they want an appointment for the first time?

I've said it once and I'll say it again: I honestly don't know why you're having such a hard time. Getting business should not be the case for you. Again you have really good reviews on TER, TER members would love to see you as an independent. If you have fear of getting stood up .. then prebook. With ANY business you will take a loss, that's just life! Becoming an independent escort is not for everyone, there are some qualities you'd have to have and not everyone have those qualities. You seem a bit irritated and all over the place with everything's thats going on at home. I don't know how you'd be able to focus on screening/booking AND providing quality GFE services that way. Just wooooosah woooooooooooosah wooooosah and I promise everything will be ok. I used to be like that too .. Just freak out over everything but really everything usually always works out in the end.
....you have a website, I've already offered to redesign it and all free of charge and link to your reviews for you, I've offered to verify you as a date check member AND offered to tour with you ! I also sent you that screening article months ago so you shouldn't be stressed at all. That article is pretty much step by step. I've tried to help as much as I can but one thing you have to learn how to do on your own is FOCUS and kinda tune out ish going on at home. Stressing will put a damper on your money.
I don't know.. but if you don't feel comfortable screening ..don't do it. You have to feel confident about ever guy that walks into your incall.. or else you could be in some big trouble. Anyways, I sent you a text message.. Feel free to text girl. I can say this, I've never had a guy pass screening and stand me up. I've never gotten a hotel and not had at least one two calls for that day.
Don't forget I'm a mommy too. You just have to make ish work! If mama's not happy NOONE'S happy! I have had bad weeks but I have lots in savings. it's not like I'm "ballin" but I don't have any financial worries like I did when I first started in the business.
i'm with malaya, if you let yourself get psyched out by all the little details it's not gonna go well for you. just dive in, give it a try, if you don't like it then you can go back to being an agency girl. I've jumped ship from agency to independent and back to agency quite a few times. (It's hard being indie if you don't have a car, I'll say that right now!)
also, bear with me here, I'm about to get all new age-y on you. There's this phenomenon called the Law of Attraction. Basically, whatever your mind concentrates on most is what the Universe gives you. DON'T focus on the bad. Just don't. When posting ads and going on TER and doing all the other work, KNOW that you will get calls, know that you will get good customers. Imagine all the money right in front of you, and all the things you're going to do with it. Keep staying positive, and positive things will be drawn to you. It took me a looooong time to figure this out, and for the first 22 years of my life I blamed everything on "bad luck" or "the universe hates me" or "I'm a cosmic joke". But when I changed my attitude, so did my luck.
Also, Malaya was right about the not being stood up by a guy that passed screening. You have too much of their information at your fingertips for them to risk pissing you off, and the guys know this.
Try to stay confident and POSITIVE! You can do this! :biggrin:

EXAAAACCCTLY!!! I'm very optimistic. I'm the type of person that's so happy all the time my friends are always like "What the hell are you all happy for" lol and when I'm not in a good mood they're like "WHAT? WHAT'S WRONG?!?!?!"!! I don't stress about the small ish! Things could be a hell of a lot worse!
Bambi, You just gotta try it. If you jump into it thinking negative you'll get a negative result! I remember when I started working for the agency I was like "Damn I'm gonna make soooo much m'fin money!" I did though I ended up hating their ass lol!
Wait .. so the agency you're working for is posting fake photos/non updated photos of their girls? Uh I say RUN! However, If you're making money with them stay. Shit like that could easily RUIN YOUR reputation. LMFAO @ you don't know who would want to see them. Girl, There's always at least one guy everyday trying to see one of those girl. Thats what I say when I'm looking at the escorts on backpage .. LMBO!Quote:
I dont think that its me.. I think its this agency.. I met three girls that work with this agency and we were looking at the website and I was like who are these people and one girl has been with them over a year and she said.. that some of the people on the website dont really work for them.. and I thought that before too because, the have C grade escorts.. I dont mean to dis anyone but there is only like one girl I would want to see.. and its one of the girls that this other girl says she thinks that is not real.. There is one girl that was pretty, but she had a lot of tattoos and thats cool and all but I dont know who would wanna see all them.. but thats just me and she is not bright at all, like you cant hold a conversation with her. The other girl was the same way. Then I met this bad ass chick! Her pics need to be updated on the website, but she is ok looks wise but she is really smart and I like her..I dont know how much advertising she does but Im about to try to look...
Look for the screening article, If you don't have it I'll send it again.Quote:
Im going to text you tomorrow so we can work on my website.. Im such a worry wart about the screen parts.. I guess Its cause Ill be working close to home.. I dont know girl I just worry!!
That sucks! I hate men sometimes because of ish like this. I'm so used to always being with my daughter it's crazy. She has a wonderful dad though he has his own family and doing his thing, He still comes and visits bla bla bla.. lol! What you should do is when you ARE with them, Take them out AND spoil them but try not to overdo it. When I have a crazy work week, I'll take her to the mall and chuck e cheese that sunday to kinda make up for not being there. I'm taking her to The great wolfe lodge in concord, nc next (It's an indoor waterpark)..pretty pricey but so worth it. The only time I'm away from my daughter is when I'm on a call. When I'm at home advertising/booking/screening she's with me and when I get back from my call I'll pay my sitter for example a 4 hour call ($50-60 to her). Out of $400 an hour it's really NOTHING. See how it works out?Quote:
and I know your a mom too, but I only get my kids every other week.. and it may seem like alot but Its not.. like sometimes Ill plan to do something with them and we cant because one is sick or its raining.. and it feels like just when we start having fun they have to go back to their dads..
AND I get a lot of pressure from my mom, not as much right now cause Im broke but she is all like well I wish you could just stay home with the kids all the time, they need you, blah blah blah.. and I get pissed at her because Im like WELL PAY my bills! I mean damn she pisses me off with that shit.. I already wanna stay home with them but I cant.. and I think she regrets having to work so much when we were little but I dont remember!
YOur mom is wrong for making you feel that way. tell her again to pay your bills so you can be home with the kids! lmfao @ you don't remember. You're a mess girl! You should just have her watch the kids while you're on a call and pay her when you get back or something. I'll stick to my sitter, I don't want anyone in my family asking questions about ANYTHING lol!
Call me/Text me tommorrow! I'm going to look at some high rise apartments at 9a. I decided not to move to the $935 because it's just too far away from civilization.. this one is a lil pricer but it's in a great location RIGHT in heart of the city and the view is amazin. 1.) Most of my calls would be a mile or 2 away and I could just walk 2.) Everything (grocery stores, top restaurants and shops) is RIGHT there so I really wouldn't need my car at all. If it's saving on gas money/car costs it's a keeper! Will tell you how it all goes tommorrow.

HEY-
I don't know where you are, im from shit-slow miami lol, but im working with a really awesome, great agency in new jersey its called indygirls (indygirls.net) its a 50/50 split but they pay your travel and hotel. they screen their clients and theyre basically everything you would want in an agency. i make from 3 (on my slowest slowest day) to 1000 a day and there is also porn up here, dunno if u do that, but u definitely make consistant money here. they also can help you get connected with a similar agency in boston.
^ Very reputable NJ agency. I'm glad you're doing great with them and lol @ shit-slow miami!! ha!
