Re: Escorting - Please Help
Relax - you need to be able to think clearly if you go down this road.
The main thing is to stay calm and alert. Clients don't want to see someone stressed.
Id suggest going to a body rub parlour - you can usually start immediately, they provide some quick training and pay cash at the end of each shift.
Or go and see a few agencies. Go to your local library or other internet source and check out the reviews from clients on which agencies are popular and providers.
Ring them up, talk to them. My interviews have always been fine, fairly brief this is how things work. Ask your questions and stay alert. If it feels dodgy walk.
I just bring a couple of dresses, shoes, mini make up kit for touch ups and some snacks. And a jumper for when its cold.
I do body rubs but I imagine for escorting you also need protection ie. condoms etc
Re: Escorting - Please Help
Thank-you for the suggestion but I'm getting into escorting. In order to do body rubs I need a license and I don't have money for that.
I'm only interested in doing outcall as well because I really don't want to find myself being arrested.

You're likely to only earn half of the advertised rate working with an agency. $2-400/hour seems to be what most of the agencies in Toronto are charging, so you'd need to see 5-10 clients in the next 2 days to make that $1000. I have no idea if you'll be able to start literally right away or not -- if you do, you either won't have photos or you'll only have personal photos, so you may have less than 2 days to make that money.
May I recommend travel dancing instead? Get out of Toronto and dance somewhere this evening. Most clubs are open at 5-6pm, so get somewhere and dance until 2am. Then pull a double tomorrow (or however long it'll take for you to reach your goal -- just come in for the day shift so you have the maximum amount of time possible). That's about 20 hours of potential dancing time, and I think you could make your $1000 --- outside of Toronto though.

Agencies in Toronto take around 40% of your earnings. Plus some will take a fee for the driver that takes you to their incall location if they are not close to you- some don't even tell you that is happening until the last second.
i.e I went to meet up with an agency a few years ago when I thought I would use agencies to bounce back from hard times. I had my own photos so getting on the site or ads for work was quick. they had me in an airport location - I don't drive so they had a driver get me - 1 call I had for the whole day client paid short should have been $250 he gave me $240 - agency still expects their fee. so when I was thinking I would get 150 I didn't. then getting home driver wanted $ I ended up with $80.
Majority of Toronto agencies are incall and outcall. only 3 that I know of are outcall only. No guarantee if you start today you will make money today with an agency so rent being due soon means you will be paying it late maybe up to 2 weeks late.
for the most part the outcall agencies will not charge extra for the driver fee. So example I was booked for a 90 minute outcall $400 I collected - took home $240.
Yes you are in a panic now for money cause that is how this industry works doesn't matter what it is in the skin trade it will always be up and down. so if you are going into escorting you will have to factor what will you do when things are slow, slow from agencies or slow being independent.
Everything else about being an escort you will learn the more calls you get , but for the start you need to be thinking clearly and not worried you need to make XYZ dollars because this is due or about to be disconnected. I know it is hard I struggle with it constantly.

Re: Escorting - Please Help
I think you might have some issues making that much money quickly. It took me 4 days to get my first booking and I got two that day, then nothing for a few days, then on and off... guys are just hesitant to book with new escorts, they would prefer to go with someone more experienced, until you have feedback they don't know if you're legit-- I mean I have ten reviews at this point and I still get guys asking me if they can speak to a client who's see me because my profile is new.
Most agencies that I've dealt with expect you to have professional photos before they will put you on, they also don't get back to you immediately and sometimes there's a delay in how quickly the interview is. You're also competing with all the other girls in the agency and all the other agencies... I almost think it's easier for me to get bookings not being in an agency, because people can specifically search for things about me and I'll pop up, they're not just flipping through photos.
To be honest, I think you will have a better time putting an add on back page, or whatever the equivalent is where you are-- and put it up now to just try and get as much response as you can, not sure why you're limiting yourself to one day, you should be working today, tomorrow, and Tuesday if you're desperate. If you're really desperate for money, make a low bid and just accept you'll have to fuck/suck for less, but don't make any exceptions when it comes to screening your clients, no matter how much you need the money.
Also, good luck making all that money with outcalls. Very few guys want outcalls, that's why I've gotten an incall apartment and am now paying rent for two different flats. I think you might have better luck renting a motel room. And yes, they will absolutely expect you to figure out how to get to them, most guys are happy to give me some advice about which tube to take and whatnot, and occasionally someone will say they'll pick me up from the tube, but they assume you are a professional and that's the vibe you need to give off even if you aren't. I'm considering ceasing to offer outcalls entirely as they don't really feel worth it to me anymore when you count in travel time and there's just very little demand for them.
As for your other questions, check out saafe.info
Also, please don't expect that this escorting is amazingly easy or consistent. I think it's better than dancing but it definitely has it's downsides and can be VERY stagnant, and it's frustrating when it's like that because there's really nothing you can do since they have to contact you.
Re: Escorting - Please Help
With an agency you need professional pictures on their website so that alone will take time to set up a photoshoot and put it on the site.
When I got hired at a high end escort agency and I started working a week later. I didn't get many clients early on because most guys wait till you get reviews. You're better off going Indy and keeping all your money and booking your own "dates".
