How to get started in NYC ....any advice appreciated!!
Hey ladies!!
so I've put a lot of thought into it and im ready to get started in the industry. I have some experience when I was 19, and I've also done erotic massage more recently, but left because of the poor screening methods. I'm 30 now, and I am very familiar with the business. Problem is I don't have a clue how to find an agency that I can trust that isn't a scam (I've had some very off-putting conversations recently) and that absolutely provides the best screening possible. The only agency I found that seemed to be kind and not pushy over the phone only charges 180 an hour, and he split is bigger in their favor due to drivers etc, so you leave with 80 an hour!! I know I can make much more than that with my looks and personality. How do I get started with a private booker/assistant, agency, or independently? Any advice is appreciated!!! 💋
Also, my discretion is as important to me as my safety. And I do not want to advertise on BP or CL, so I'm a bit worried about the job ads that I find on those sites, and is there a better place to find agencies? I've searched google and applied on many of the professional websites that cater to New York, but no word yet.

Came here to see if anyone had already posted about this. Been trying to find a reputable agency myself and having a hard time. Have you had any luck?

I'm in NYC. Honestly I wouldn't use an agency because of the current political/legal climate... I used to work at a bodyrub parlor but their only screening was getting a fixed number. There was a false illusion of security but really anyone could walk in. When I started out escorting I spoke with an agency who swore they did careful screening but I didn't really believe it. Seemed like their main security was having a driver, ok, but once you're alone with a client all bets are off. Also you might end up being sent to a hotel where a sting is being run. Being independent, I #1 Can screen carefully and also decline according to my instincts #2 Keep everything I earn and #3 Don't have to do anything without protection, which is a terrible idea and honestly I don't understand why more guys don't realize that it is also dangerous to their own health.
The only possible advantage I see to an agency is that you don't have to procure and maintain the incall, and that they MIGHT get more traffic because of an existing client base and more girls advertising at the same time. But I haven't seen any agency websites that I was super impressed with, and I find it better to control my own image and learn from the example of other independents who are killing it at managing their own brand and business.

^^sound advice..
There are a lot of resources for ladies who wish to start escorting Indy.. check out Amanda Brooks.. I read a lot of her blogs and a book when I started..
I recommend googling, “escorts in .. your city..” pick which sites you want to participate and which ones you do not.. the more you research the more knowledge you will have..
Always ask assistants for references, get them on the phone.... view their work, how they operate.. I would probably avoid anyone who calls themselves a booker.. booking assistant or escort assistant sounds legit...I had one I contacted and she wanted $500 up front (most will want something upfront..) she stated I did not need to send any pictures.. people use fake pictures all the time.. I knew it was a scam deep down in my gut.. if you can keep them on the phone and ask questions it’s pretty easy to spot who is a scammer.. but some ladies fell for it.. they were getting emails from our ads.. ripoff reports were filed..
Another assistant I spoke with stated I needed to lower my rates because I was, “new to the game..” whatever that means?!? She did not get hired, lol..
I have spoken with gentleman who have hired agency ladies, all say the ladies state they only keep about 50%.. Only some of them control their own rates.. if you decide to join an agency first, and you decide to have a website please purchase the domain name with privacy protection, yourself.. do not sign a paper saying they own rights to your persona or website.. reputation is hard work.. keep it!!
Find agencies on reputable sites.. such as Eros.. maybe the erotic review..
http://touringgirls.net .. looks pretty legit... I have seen them on Eros and their ladies have reviews..maybe someone here has experience?
https://castellaninternational.com .. I have spoken to the owner of this site, cool concept for overseas ladies.. possibly for ladies who wish to remain private and work in another country.. they are
Set up like an agency.. note sure on the details.. these ladies are reviewed and have higher rates than the average agency lady.. I have seen ladies come to America, not sure they do the other way around.. I am sure someone out their does US ladies to other countries, that are reputable.. the site is very visually appealing!
It is good practice to run all the potential agencies on google, stripperweb (and other forums,) and ripoff report website.. even twitter..
The plus side is they pay for ads (some are free and some are cheap for an Indy lady..) they have client lists (some clients leave when they hear ladies mention they only get 50%), pictures (could be pricey,or not lol) and the reputable ones do screen, and are reference friendly.. Plus they usually gather all of a gentlemans information, regardless of references..I have exchanged references with several different agencies.. It is easy to tell who atleast appears to care about their ladies and the ones who clearly do not..
To figure out if an agency is a good fit, after determining they are indeed reputable.. add up the weekly cost of expenses and see if the cost outweighs the benefits.. if you would be outcall only, probably not worth it!!
If you have to question it.. do not do it!! Some ladies are friendly when you join reputable places.. some are very willing to help out..
Good luck!
