    Default Interested in escorting

    Hi ladies,

    I'm a stripper who's interested in escorting. I was wondering: do I have to have an internet presence as far as attracting clientele or can I just go by word of mouth? I'm much more comfortable with word of mouth because I know that it's very easy to get busted by LE if you post ads online. The only thing is, the guys my friends know are cheap and would only pay like $150 an hour. But if I get 6 clients a day at $150 a hour, I'll make $200,000 in a year. It's better than going to jail.

    Thanks!

    You are not going to see too many guys from word of mouth alone.

    I dont know you well enough to say you wont meet guys from word of mouth...thats how it was done before the internet, and there is still business to be made that way.

    But two things, $150 is selling yourself short...I dont even know you but I promise you, that is low. For perspective, here in FL where the guys are generally cheap (yes theres some money here, but most of the guys who live in this state are retirees living off of pension and social security) and they will pay 80-100 for just a body rub with a happy ending, and most of the girls in the 100's range or less arent exactly classy ladies or treated like one...the bargain hunters are not known for being gentlemen.

    I suggest you do some research for your area on rates.

    Now, I personally dont have experience with word of mouth or getting dates in person, but Ive heard of ladies who do it and have gotten some advice about it. Im too nervous about pulling it off in person and not getting references though.

    Anyway, the lady Ive heard about who does it goes to high class hotels, and while at the bar will meet men who are traveling in on business and such. But her rates are in the $400/hr+ range, depending on how she reads the guy I guess. Ive also heard of talking to limo chauffers or club owners, who come across wealthy guys who want to take someone out while they are in town and what not... With all of these though youd have to tip out big, one so that they dont rat you out, and two so that they will recommend you or have the scoop on someone that would be a good guy to meet up for a date with.

    Just be careful though, cause at the rate of 150, you would be setting yourself up to be seen as a streetwalker or car date...and a guy would automatically think you are either LE, on something and will do it for less to support a habit, have a pimp or something else like that... Dont underestimate yourself...

    Thanks for the tips. I looked into it and hot girls in my area are charging only $100, sometimes less. She's really hot, but she only charges $180 an hour!

    I would like to charge $300/hr. But like I said the guys my friends know are broke and aren't willing to pay that much, so I don't know what to do.

    So do you recommend that I post on the internet? I'm really eager to get started but super nervous about getting busted.

    I don't know if I'd want to be seeing guys my friends know, then surely all your friends would know you as the girl that sleeps with all their guy friends? I like to keep the two parts of my life EXTREMELY separate. Aside from the fact that I don't like everyone knowing I'm in this industry, whether it's dancing or escorting, imagine if you have a problem with any of the guys. Then it will be a huge thing because your friends know them, people will take sides etc.

    There's a TON of posts about screening on here - if you do your research you can easily stay safe advertising online and getting much better clients. For the sake of putting in more time researching the men who contact you, you'll make more money, and surely that balances out better than seeing a ton of cheap guys that are linked to your friends?

    I think it's all about what makes each girl feel safest and most comfortable, but $150 an hour is pretty low and I think you could make a lot more, while staying safe from LE, if you do it right.

    I'm not saying word-of-mouth won't work, but... how do you screen clients? To me, that method seems way more dangerous than advertising online. I see more pitfalls to that method than advantages.

    I get why you would be nervous about advertising online, but your safety really needs to come first.

    I seriously doubt that this lady would actually be the one there if a meeting was arranged. At that price, I would have to assume the usual bait and switch. I also would not think backpage would be the best place to advertise.

    At $150 a visit and projected $200,000 a year you would need to see about 25-30 guys a week for fifty weeks or over a 100-120 guys a month. Not sure how realistic your goals are.

    There are numerous threads on here about how to advertise on the internet and how to screen. Just gut reaction here but it seems like you might be jumping in too fast without alot of research and knowledge ....which will get you busted.

    SG!! I actually recognize the girl in that listing. She's a model/playmate named Jessica Burciaga and it's really odd but I've seen her in plenty of escorting ads in the back of the paper, etc. So yeah that's a fake.

    This is not realistic. You are not going to see six guys a day every day. Once you get started you are going to find days, or even weeks or months at a time, when you are simply not going to want to work as an escort. No one does it every day all the time. Trust me you will work more if you can see two or three guys a day at $300 than if you have to see six guys every day to reach your financial goals

    If you are serious about escorting you are going to have to advertise at some point to establish a client base that will pay more than $150 an hour. Escorting is not a job to be taken lightly. there is a lot of good advice on this forum about getting started. Be prepared to work at it and learn how to screen your customers. There are a lot of girls out there who operate "under the radar" and do very well but they all started out with agencies or with a more "above the radar" presence.

    Good luck, stay safe.

    There are 33 Tineye hits on the picture in that ad. That means it's fake. Many Back Page ads are.

    I would like to charge $300/hr. But like I said the guys my friends know are broke and aren't willing to pay that much, so I don't know what to do.

    So do you recommend that I post on the internet? I'm really eager to get started but super nervous about getting busted.
    Woah woah woah...Washington DC....180/hr?!!!

    Okay, next tip.....Backpage is not research.

    A little thing I heard which is very true, is that the average girl on backpage is a streetwalker with internet access. Thats not to say everyone on Bp is a SW, there are some amazing women who do advertise there, but the majority of the women on there are not amazing...they are cheap. Another thing...the hotter the woman, and the lower her rate, the bigger the chance that is not her photo and what you see is not what you will get.

    On Eros.com, most of the rates I saw were between $300-$500/hr. That sounds more like DC rates...

    Another thing, you arent trying to get business from guys who are broke, of course if they dont have money they cant pay much. So it doesnt matter if your friends have money or not...This is DC we're talking about! Politics, finance, government, international business, the money is there...!!!!!!!!!!!! Im out here with retirees and their social security checks

    If you charge less than $300/hr, I will cry myself to sleep I promise you, think bigger and higher than your broke friends and you will be glad you did... If youre going to do something like escorting, make it worth it and dont set out to burn yourself out. I agree, 6 dates in one day is a lot, too much.... Work smarter...not harder

    Do some more research and dont listen to broke guys advice on rates..of course they think sex should come cheap cause thats what would benefit them, but that doesnt benefit you...and taking care of yourself is whats important here.
    Don't blink. Don't even blink. Blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back. Don't look away. And don't blink!

    BlkSharpie offered you some great advice, OP. PLEASE avoid your friend's friends and PLEASE don't charge any less than $300/hr. I think BackPage is bullshit (in my humble opinion), so start doing research on Eros.com.

    Take your time browsing these forums here. There is SO much information...if you do your research and learn some things about the laws and screening, you will be less paranoid about getting in trouble.

    I'm currently reading book 2 (just finished book 1) from Amanda Brooks' series "The Internet Escort's Handbook". SO much necessary information. http://www.theinternetescortshandboo...t-handbook.php

    It does not matter if its word of mouth or adverising online you still could risk being arrested depending on how your current state or country laws work around prostitution. and if you think you will see 6 clients a day its not going to happen there will be days you will be making nothing and feel like you want to put your hair out because your not making any money. You might want to do a google search and what other escorts in your city you plan to work in are charging you might be charging extremely low.

    Idealy you want to be able to be charging $250 an hour. some might have to charge $200 an hour but that could be they are in a very niche market like BBW. but even some BBWs out there are over $250 an hour. Its a matter of willing are you to expand your marketing and advertising.
    The big thing in the USA is screening you want to check out what screening services are available out there. but if your doing some research and seeing what other providers are charging you could also get an idea of how they do their screening, either by asking your potential client for a reference and then you actually verifiying that reference. You don't want to just look at one source for seeing escort ads some escorts do not use backpage and do very well without it. you want to expand your search. and backpage is not a good representation of what escorts are offering and charging out there.

    The thing with these men who see escorts they will lie about everything you want to be able to screen through all that BS even if they are claiming being broke. it seems to be that your just focusing on the money and not the business planing of this and also how your going to keep yourself safe. you want to be spend sometime working out a business plan one mistake could cost you a lot.

    There is money to be made being an escort, but you make a lot more money if you do it with a plan and smart
    I personally wouldn't see cleints that some guy friend knows because that would invade my privacy and personal comfort levels. I like keeping my escort life as a secret as much as possible even though I am very open about what I do.

    As for advertising on backpage you want your ads to stand out from those cheaper ads, backpage has a vereity of people who advertise on them and they are just an illusion in many cases. and also you might want the type of client that use backpage you also have to think of the type of clients your looking to see, $150 an hour cleints are not the same as $250 an hour clients or even $300 an hour clients. the higher your rate the different type of clients you attract.

    I second Amanda Brooks books... The day I decided to escort, I ordered both her books. They arrived 3 days later *yay!* and I poured through them, and read everything I could find online as well for two weeks before I opened up for business, so to speak. I did as much research as I possible could about rates, the guys in my area, screening, incidentals and etc.

    I think Minnie is right about $250, thats my local rate, but only because like I said, I get to party with the retirees...but my travel/touring rate is $300...you can totally get that in DC.

    Anyway..its very true, guys in the less than $200/hr range are incredibly different than the guys who will pay more. I ran into them when I first started and my rate was $200...Cheap guys do not make good clients, trust me on that.
