    Default (escorts) So I raised my rates...... AGAIN!...and new tips!

    So as a lot of you know I started out with an agency here in Charlotte. The agency charged $300 and took half of what I made. After months of working with an agency I decided to work as an Independent escort charging more than what I made with the agency $300 an hour. Yes it wasn't more but I kept almost all of that money ( I say almost all because some of it does go to Ads, marketing, lingerie, hotels...etc) After a few months I felt that I was "better" than $300 an hour so I raised my rates to $400 an hour and thought "business would SLOW down Damn I'm already in Cheapcarolina what am I thinking" but NOPE I started noticing something: Alot of locals stopped emailing me but I had more and more guys willing to travel to see me or see me while they were here on business. I was shocked and still shocked at the amount of business I am having to turn down due to my paranoia and Laziness (It says alot when you can turn down $400 an hour and go on about your day and not think about it again ) So after reading multiple articles and some of the discussions here on sw I've decided to raise my rates AGAIN!

    So now on my site it looks like this:
    3hr-1200
    2hr-1000
    1hr-500

    And this is not the last time I will Raise it. I just had to start this thread after reading the "what you're worth" thread. I found that thread sooooo depressiing. It's sad to see that a lot of ladies are willing to sell themselves short. I couldn't charge my clients what I'm worth because I feel like I'm worth a million bucks. I charge for what I feel that service is worth not what I'm worth.. does that make sense? If you can find that thread you will see what I am talking about.

    In camming or escorting the biggest fear is "losing clients". Everyone thinks they're going to "lose clients" when they raise their rates but are you going to lose clients? OF COURSE you will BUT you will gain new better quality clients when you raise your rates. I get sick of reading all these threads about "lowering your rates" bla bla bla bull. It's sooo sickening how women can encourage other women to lower their rates like really? Give me a break! You are HOT and put on a damn good show of course you can double your rates. If you are HOT, put on a damn good show and have insane marketing skills of course you can triple your rates but be smart when raising your rates. Don't go from $2 a minute to $6 a minute. Do everything in increments. With escorting, I couldn't go from $400 an hour to $2000 an hour. I have a habit of raising my rates as I grow. As I learn new tricks (lol @ tricks), build my wardrobe, build my shoe/purse collection, as my body gets tighter I raise them as an incentive to myself. We all need to get in that habit.

    I am a firm believe in working smarter not harder. There is no way I will look the way I look and fuck random guys for 200 an hour. I DO NOT see how ladies that have been in the business for 10 years are still having sex or doing whatever else for $200 an hour. I also don't see why the hell anyone would still be an escort after 3-4 years. That is just insane to me. We should charge AS MUCH as we can while we're still all young and HOT. It's 4:32am right now and I'm up stalking escort ads for the city I want to visit and plotting on how I can take over while I am there. I do not sleep. I believe this is why I have been successful in everything in all I have done in this industry so far (except dancing, hated it!)

    SOOOO as for the juicy tips, I was going through my email and found another one of Erin's newsletters I just had to Share:



    If you advertise on any online escort directories, you
    probably know that your "thumbnail" is the little square
    image of yourself that shows up on directory listings.

    For example, on the Eros Guide, to the left of any category
    is a long vertical strip of thumbnails for every advertiser.

    When your potential client visits these directories, his
    screen is immediately filled with hundreds of these
    thumbnails.

    All of these beautiful women cropped into a giant wall of
    perfect little squares on his monitor, all of them competing
    for his attention.

    With this many competing options, guys have learned to very
    quickly skim through dozens of thumbnails, ignoring most of
    them and only clicking on the thumbnails that really catch
    their eye.

    One of the easiest ways to increase how many calls you are
    getting is to increase how many guys are clicking on your ad
    in the first place.

    And the #1 one (free) way to get more visitors to your directory
    ads is to improve your thumbnail.

    But what is the best way to design your directory ad
    thumbnail?

    Watch this 6 minute video I created to show you exactly how
    you can make your thumbnail out-shine all the other
    competing images around it:


    .................................................. ........................

    I hope you all enjoy that video. Erin also has a video called "The Rate Decoy" That I think everyone should watch.

    Anyways, That's all folks!

    Congratulations on the Raise, Boss Lady.

    I signed up for..Erin/honeysuckle mailing list about a year ago. It does have a lot of useful tips on there....

    I am in the process now of revamping my whole image in escorting...I was actually successful before I got arrested. Thank the high heavens I still do not have any record since I read all the laws surrounding the business. So I knew what to say and what not to say ( Lawyers say that is the best approach). I am happy that is behind me because I miss the men and the money.

    My rates are now $300.00/hour so that will be good for business for me. But also my approach is since I have semi-retired for awhile and I got more things going on that hopefully that income will be icing on the cake.

    But everything is trial and error mode for me right now. I may move them up or down depending on where I am in my business and what I am trying to do.

    Also I do not think people are encouraging lower rates but more like supporting those that have them while still telling them to strive for higher rates when they feel it would be best for their business....

    Thanks Booski!

    PLEEEEEEEAAAAASE be careful and Your lawyers were right. What you say is a BIG deal. A lot of women say it's not but it really is. I have walked into a sting before I know!

    I will be signing up for Erin's escort eristocracy program! I love that lady. She is just genius genius genius! If not for her I don't think I would have been a successful VIP escort.

    If you want to work harder lower them want less volume? Raise them! I cannot imagine fucking 10 guys a day let a lone 10 guys a week. I would go NUTS! So structure them to where it works for you!

    Yep, being careful is a must. I am going to be overly paranoid from here on out just because I do not want that situation again, Ever! Lol (seriously though) I just got too relaxed in my approach and made careless moves and I knew better. Live and Learn.

    Totally! Yes I will give in one of these days maybe before I go on my next tour and join. I am friends with lots of escorts on twitter I will have to "tweet" and find out what they think of it. The thing that bothers me about Erin is that she's never been an escort. She used to work for Eros guide and she is very well connected with escorts. How someone can know ALL that stuff just by being connected and working with eros is amazing! I just don't know if forking over $97 to someone that has never actually worked in the business is a great idea....

    one day, i'll probably get into escorting. and when that day comes, i'll be so thankful that i paid attention to your posts.

    and i think it makes sense that you're getting out of town spenders. it's like in stripping, the guys trying to bargain girls down on lapdance prices are usually locals. the guys going to the nicest club in town and taking 2 girls to the champagne room for a few hours are almost always from out of town.

    hell, i've got this thing where anytime i fly, i'll schedule a long layover so i can go to the nicest place in the airport for lunch. and airport restaurants are always overpriced. and eating+flying always gives me cramps for days. but it makes my trip fun. guys going on business trips have to do something to make their trips fun too. right?

    The only advice I can give you is be careful. No I don't do schedule long layovers unless I have an engagement. I DO stay in 4-5 star hotels and treat myself to a nice shopping trip after the second appointment. I always find fun things to do but most def not in the airport... soooo many things could go wrong there it's not even funny ya know? I wait till I get to my destination ... post on boards and the guys roll in and the money is always sweet in a new city

    Feel free to PM me when you're up and running


    P.s I just tried to pm you but your inbox is full
