Wanting to get back into escorting
I'm currently a body rub girl. I have a booker who sets up my calls but I have a major problem with her. When I started a few months ago, we were charging $120 for topless and $150 for full nude. Now, she is booking me for $80 an hour straight (nude or topless). She gets a 30% cut! which leaves me with very little after I put gas in my suburban (my only car). It started after I asked her to raise my price to $200 an hour for full nude and fetish. I'm $1800 behind in rent due to an expected move and not being able to work seven days a week.
Needless to say, I need a better deal. I need to get back into escorting. However, my previous escort booker no longer wants to do the work for a fair price. He wants to charge me 50% a call even if he's no longer my driver. I agreed for the moment but he refuses to agree to actually work. So, I'm on my own. My major problem is that I simply do not have the money to become a member of the paying screening websites. I really don't even have the money to place an ad and I have a week to come up with rent before I'm sleeping in my truck.
Im im really not sure what to do. Does anyone have a suggestion in how I can get started again fast and make enough that I can pay rent and have the money to screen? I know what I was making when I escorted a few years ago, so I know I won't have much of a problem getting calls. It's just getting the startup. Help? Please? *big puppy dog eyes and pouty lip*
Re: Wanting to get back into escorting
Please don't take this as an insult but if she's choosing your rate like that, she sounds more like a pimp than a booker. That's so out of line on her part.
You can do it yourself by putting up an ad for free on TER or any escort websites that are active in your area. Use one of those free escort websites to list your rates and info. Yes, they're kind of tacky but lots of girls start out with them, it's not a big deal. Ask for references of other independent escorts and then just call them to confirm the client is real. It might be hard to get the first guy to make an appointment but once you're known as a real escort you should be able to get steady business that way.
Good luck, I really hope it works out for you.
Re: Wanting to get back into escorting
It sucks to recommend this but you might need to go a little ghetto for a week or so until you can put together a classy professional ad.
Throw together a free escort website, try a few ads on the free sites, yes BP isn't your best choice but it might get you enough to get something classier.
You could try dancing if you can just show up are work in your area.
Re: Wanting to get back into escorting
I can't dance. I scare my dog when I dance. I scare myself. Lol
I honestly don't have much cash to even try backpage, which is where I was posting when I escorted before. That and craigslist when they still had the option. I'm not aware of any of the free escort ad sites, but will look for them, starting with TER.
I'm not even sure what to charge. I know I was charging $200 an hour but that was back in 2009. I'm not sure how things have changed and what to charge now that I'm heavier and older. But that is why I'm here. I know most here are nice and incredibly helpful. I also know that I can take some things the wrong way so if I do, send me a virtual kick in the butt and remind me that you guys know what you're talking about.
It's just such a shame my old booker/driver doesn't want to put forth the effort. I paid him to set up calls but I set the rates and even said yes or no to a call without him whining about it. He even managed to set up my calls so that I was t driving all over the map. I might have a call ten miles from my house and then another fifteen miles away. He would make sure to book close calls together and I never had to drive from downtown Denver to Westminster and then down to Denver again. Well worth the 50% per call... Sigh.

Omg I'm not an escort or body rub girl but I already know that a booker can't dictate your rate. That's not their job!! Honestly it sounds like you're getting scammed hard. Plus the driver guy sounds like a pimp too. 50% to drive you there? Wow.
I think you just need to find a new booker that respects your rates.
Re: Wanting to get back into escorting
With my driver, I didn't mind the 50% because he booked my calls and drove me. But then again, I was making thousands a month.
As for the reference calls, do I just call them and say "hey Reese Witherspoon, Tom cruise called me to set up an appointment and he said you saw him.. Is he who he says he is?"

Pretty much. If it's a girl who also asks for references, she should be cool about it. She might want to see your website or ad so she knows you're for real if she hasn't heard of you. Just be really polite and everything should be fine. Some girls do get a little bitchy about references because they don't want their clients going to other girls but I've only run into that a couple of times. Most independent escorts want to network with other girls at least to a small extent to stay safe.
Re: Wanting to get back into escorting
What happens if the girl doesn't answer or refuses to verify?
I'm also thinking about going my previous route and setting up calls via email only. At least until I can afford another phone. Think it would work?

Re: Wanting to get back into escorting
Dancing has nothing to do with actual dancing. You can just talk to the customers at the stage, smile and pose. Or not go on the stage at all.
But I guess if you are comfortable escorting than dancing is going to seem like a waste of time to you. I know it would for me!
Re: Wanting to get back into escorting
Do you mean I can technically be a stripper without dancing? I'm a heavy gal. Last time I weighed myself I was 211 pounds but I have t weighed myself in over a year (no scale at home). I'd work for hooters if I thought they would hire me and if I'd make a couple thousand a week.
@Dixievista, I sent along an email.
Re: Wanting to get back into escorting
Hooters won't bring in that much. (At least, the Hooters in my 'hood won't). If you are on the heavier side, a blue collar club would probably be a good fit. That's not a knock on you or the club: They tend to be a little more casual about the types of dancers they hire and I usually made bank in working class/blue collar clubs. Good luck!
Re: Wanting to get back into escorting
CL is good but there is also some site called bigdoggie and cityvibe. I don't know if those are the exact names but you should be able to pull them up. Either way set your rate at whatever you feel like is suitable for you. Depending on the city you can charge even higher than 200. If you cannot afford to screen I would have the potential client give you at least 2 or 3 different escort references and then either look the girls up or call them yourself to make sure he is telling the truth. Also this may be a stretch but could ask for his name and age over the phone and then ask him for a valid photo id in person.
Re: Wanting to get back into escorting
Book your own calls. That's what I do. That way you don't have to depend on someone else for your safety. It is probably a good idea also for you to be speaking to these guys yourself so you can feel them out. And you get to keep all of your money. It takes a little more time and patience, but it really is so easy.
