    Lightbulb Getting into Escorting.....

    Hey Everybody, I'm new to the board & really need some advice. I had worked as a dancer for about 3 years on & off. Then I got married (big mistake) Anyways, I am going through a divorce & need to make some real cash ASAP. I had also done a small stint working for an escort agency years ago as well (Only about two weeks or so though.) Anyways, I have decided that becoming an independent escort would be a lot more profitable than giving away half my earnings to some damn agency. Okay- So I know that I need to get pictures done & set up a website....My next question is, HOW DO I SCREEN my clients? I really am a newbie at this & would Really appreciate it if someone could mentor me in the biz & help me get started just a bit. I am located in Charlotte NC, SO if anybody is near to me & could "show me the ropes" that would be even better. I really want to make some serious cash, but also want to go about it the right way & not get busted or hurt by some creep. If anybody who has a lot more wisdom with this could help me out, it would be alotta help to me. Thanks!

    You have to remember if your going into this thinking your desperate and need to make cash now you might not. Have you gotten the book from Amanda Brooks "Internet Escort Handbook" read part 1. part 1 goes over the emotional side of escorting before you jump into something your not ready for.

    Um......Im thinking that maybe I should just go work for an agency for a bit to get reaquinted with the biz first & make sure that I can do the work full-time/long-term. So, (stupid question) How & Where do I go about finding a great agency to work for? I am in Charlotte NC. Any advice? I called several agencies that I found on the net. Of course, nobody picks up their phones. So I left messages & my number asking about employment & noone got back to me. WTF? I have a very sexy voice & have often been told that I should be a phone actress. So anyways, I only ltalked live with one agency owner. She asked for my e-mail & said that she would e-mail me some info. but never did. WTF? That pissed me off bigtime. I got bills to pay, am attractive & willing to work. So, anyways (sigh...) does anyone know of any decent agencies in Charlotte that I could contact about working? Thanks ladies......Im getting frustrated here & REALLY DONT FEEL SAFE going the craigslist route. Any advice is appreciated.

    I believe Touring Girlfriend is in your area. I would PM her and see if she can give you any insights. If nothing else, having someone local who knows whats what will be useful.

    Good luck!

    Ooh nice site..never came across that one.
    Minnie is right though if you are desperate for cash you will slip up and make mistakes you cant afford. It is also not always something that happens overnight either. It may take you weeks until you get your first appointment and it does take time to build you website and ads because there are SO MANY boards/forums/ad sites out there that you need to be on to be successful imo

    First I would ask you what you look like? Depending on what you look like, your skill.. you can make really good money here. What is your ethnicity? I'll tell you now that Carolinas is not where black girls thrive. Black girls thrive anywhere else but the south for some reason. However, if you're a touring girl and you hit a city for the first time the guys will be on you like white on rice. That is just how it is. Men love "the new girl". Variety is the spice of life right? I'm black and I made good money here but thats's due to looks, skill and good reputation. It's an individual thing..

    You're in Charlotte eh? This week is a bit busy for me to meet up. I'm flying to CT for a date this weekend. I can meet up mid next week if you'd like. In the meantime if you want to get with an agency, I would stay WAIT for me to guide you indy. The agency I worked for when I first started was not all that great BUT I made DAMN good money with them (6k a month easily). I have pm'd you their name and info.

    If you are desperate for cash, I say don't go indy and go with the agency. When you're desperate it's hard for you to make good judgments.

    So yeah If you'd like to meet, I'm game! I love meeting girls from sw. I have met a few. We can meet downtown somewhere just let me know.

    Thanks for the replies ladies. And Touring Girl, I would like to meet you sometime if possible.I really appreciate your advice & kinda need a "mentor" to give me more sound advice & how-to's. Okay. I have learned that I am more of a sugar-baby type than a hard-core watch the clock escort. But, I need to curb that approach a bit because these lonely bastards are just taking up wayyy too much of my time! Grrr......I need to get more money-minded & put my foot down with the men I am seeing. Anyways-So far I have 4 sugar-daddies. Two are older men, one is my age & I have another my age that I haven't even met in person yet. But he has "fallen in love" with my pics & the way that I talk to him over the phone. (He has paid to get my car fixed & bought me a spa package so far.) HAHAHA! That is some funny shit! Anyways.......- I have blonde hair & blue eyes, so I should do good in the south, from what you ladies have told me....Im thinking that I really do need to work for an agency for at least a few weeks or so, to get some money saved & do the independent thing the right way tho.The down-side is that I am in my late twenties & have about 25 extra lbs to lose...but I do NOT look my age & Im very busty.Some men really like it. My same-age sugar-daddy yesterday took me to a 4-star hotel. We played a bit, then he fixed me a bubble bath in the jacuzzi tub & asked me if I would spend the night with him. I did & in the morning, he paid me some more & even took me to breakfast. My question is.......How much should I be charging for something like that?? I KNOW that I am Not charging enough.....But he is definitly a staedy client now & I am very comfortable with him too. He is my age, but for the most part, I seem to do very well with older men. My thing is that I would rather have select regulars that I see on an on-going basis vs. just seeing any Joe off the street that has a few hundred bucks. I guess Im just not cold enough to them for that. I want to at least be able to stand the guy that Im "spending time" with. I am very independent & don't think that I could work long-term at an agency UNLESS I was the one running it. And believe me.....that thought HAS crossed my mind too. But I would have to learn more of what I'm doing first. At least after I've learned the ropes of the business, I would consider it. So.....with all that said, anymore advice would really be helpful, I really need to learn how to get more money/ clients in less time. That has been my biggest downfall so far.......

    An overnight stay? According to TG you shouldn't be taking less than 3,500!! Thats as an escort,as a SB though I don't know. I'd like an answer about that as well!!

    Lady Lovely,

    I've told you before that you need to calm down, relax and read, read and read and everything will fall into place. I'm traveling tomorrow and have a photoshoot as soon as I get back (Monday) so I cannot meet then but anytime after monday..

    Here are your mistakes though...

    I really hope you're not telling the guys you meet this. As an escort, you are a professional. If the guys wanted a sugarbaby type they will go to walmart and find themselves a girlfriend or better yet match.com. A clockwatcher is someone that watches the clock every single minute and says things like "what's the time" every 5-10 minutes. That kind of behavior is considered clock-watching. Just because one is aware of the time doesn't make them a clock watcher.. do you get that?

    For example: Joe Fraiser contacts me and say he wants to see me for 2 hours. I get over to Joe Fraiser's house and we're having a grand ole time. I'm losing track of time so I don't scan the room for a clock. I reach into my purse and glance at my phone once to measure the time and continue the date. If it's 12:30 and our date is over at 1pm .. I know how to measure 30 minutes. There are ways to keep track of time without letting the client know that you're doing it. Now if you're one of those girls that charge $300 an hour and don't care if the guy is there for 3 hours.. I'll say to you that you're going to become very popular and that's not a good thing because that guy you're giving extra time to is also seeing slurping suzy for $500 an hour and pays her every hour... do you understand? Just letting you know sweetie. Business is business. if the guys wanted a sugarbaby type they will go and get a sugarbaby. Sugarbaby and escorting are NOT the same thing. In fact, I don't believe in having sex with TRUE sugardaddies.

    Next...

    How old are these men that you are seeing? I wouldn't recommend a new escort to see men that are under the age of 35. Heck I'm very experience and I don't see men under the age of 35. Maybe it's because I like older guys.. dunno..

    Are you doing the sugarbaby and escorting thing? It seems like you're trying to mix them together. You shouldn't be treating your sugardaddies like you treat your escorting clients. Make your sugardaddies work hard to get BCD action. If you're telling me that you're meeting these sugardaddies for free that's your first mistake. If you're telling me that you're having sex with your sugardaddies because they threw you a couple of dollars.. that's your second mistake... get it?

    As for overnights, I will spend a night with my regulars for $2500. If they want a clock-free date (that is all day without spending the night with me) , they're looking at $1500-$2000. I never discount my hourly dates. I only discount my clock-frees and overnights because I prefer those to the hourly...ya know.

    How do you determine what to charge? Would you pay $3,500 to spend a night with you? Would you pay $2,500 to spend a night with you? I know I would pay $3,500 to spend a night with me. Honey, there are girls that do overnights for $900-$1500 more power to them! I think you will get more takers at that rate. If you don't already have an established repuation you can charge less. However, I will say this: be honest with yourself. Price yourself accordingly. I know ladies that charge $500 an hour and should really be $300 an hour and wonder why they're not getting any business. Price yourself accordingly and you won't have any problem staying busy.

    As far as getting more money and more clients in less time, do you have a website, reviews, have you somewhat established yourself on screening sites? How are you getting business....or expect to get business if you haven't built your persona.. ya know? Placing ads on bp won't cut it. High end guys are looking for ladies that have it together or LOOK like they have it together. oK I have to leave now.. ttyl

    Okay...so what I mean by sugar-baby type is that a couple of them just give me a weekly allowance & call me when they need me to come over. So far- shedules haven't conflicted. Thank God! And actually, when I say men my age- they are all over 35. (Okay- I lie about my age to EVERYONE, Im actually 35 myself, but nobody ever guesses that.I tell everyone Im in my 20's. Sorry about the fib there.) Anyways....2 of them don't realize that there are more men than just them. Pretty dumb, huh? Even though, I met them off of CL and the post made it clear what I was after. The other two know but act jealous & actually think that they have a shot of ending up with me, even though I have made it clear in the beginning what I was about to them. One of those tried to tell me that he was falling in lve with me. (Weird!) I guess all my nights in the club has made me a great conversationalist & they absolutely love that about me. I talk with them too much.Thats why I dont get as strict as I should with their time. I know that is a HUGE mistake on my part & not a habit that I want to continue in. I think I'm so used to working in the clubs, bullshitting men & "befriending them, that I have swayed the lines way too much on that. I have had all of the sugar-daddies call me up just to talk when they were down/ bored. And two of them want to take me on trips with them. What I really want is to see a select few men, over & over again while getting paid very well for it. That way, it greatly lowers the chance of a set-up or of catching something that ajax can't wash off. (but, yes- I am always safe.) Anyways, I know that I need to change my approach, stop playing games, bring in new clients, watch my time & really start banking. Thanks for the advice ladies. By the way, where is the agency info. that you were talking about Touring Girlfriend? Im new to SW , I looked in my inbox but I cant find it anywhere. I think working for an agency would definitly get me thinking straight about making more money/seeing more clients. Thanks Ladies
