    Mind Blowing Ive been at it for like 2 months already! Why is business not booming for me???

    I have been escorting for 3 months so far. I started on backpage, but made a plan to get my own website up and running so that I could charge higher rates. Well Ive ventured away from Backpage and started posting on NaughtyReviews MyproviderGuide, TER, Etc and Ive only gotten maybe 5 responses in all over the last two months. What am I doing wrong. Why isnt TER bringing me any business. I have a review on some random website called ToSluts but I know the TER reviews will really set me off the way I need too. Can someone just be a doll and lend me a little advice, positivity, or motivation lol. Im too tempted to hop on Backpage.

    I'm struggling with the same thing but maybe I can help you a bit. How nice are your photos? Do you have a website yet? What kind of content is on your website? Are your ads well written? Are you on local hobby boards? I know how hard it is, and you're better off than I am. Good luck!

    Do you have any reviews on TER? In my opinion, TER is the greatest form of advertisement. I haven't posted an ad for about a year, I just try to get a new review about once a month.

    It took a while for my business to become steady at first. I'm two years in, and I only recently got to the point where I feel fully stable and secure. Be patient and keep working on your website, photos, advertising, and reviews (the necessary evil).

    I have not tried escorting myself, but from the books and forum advice I have read on it, I would say that professionally shot and edited photos are essential. Even if business is slow, put some of the money you made back into the business and invest in a professional shoot, I'm sure it will pay off.

    Best of luck to you, and let us know how it's going!
    Always have confidence in yourself, and never give up.

    Hello, this is my first year doing this as well...I definitely have noticed a change in business when it comes to changing my pics. I have been through a lot of trial and error, wondering at times why I wasn't getting enough calls. The more professional looking, the better. But also one thing that makes a tremendous difference: having a few shots of your whole body from head to toe(I still blur my face, though). Also, time of year, location, and how many other escorts in your area competing as well.
    Also, I try to sound completely positive in my ads, and address some concerns that gentlemen may have when deciding whether or not they should call an escort. Like letting them know that I won't randomly contact them after our date, or that I drive myself, I respect their property, etc. And that you do everything the way that you do it because you take this job seriously and want them to call you again.
    I have gone from working for an "agency" to becoming completely independent, and have finally figured out how to write an ad and take pics in a way that attracts customers and has kept me busy even when I don't post an ad for awhile. Hopefully this advice will help you, too!

    I just love that we have each other to learn from! I was going to wait for perfect timing to go indy but hell, these "agencies" can be outrageous, and I've got better advice from here than anywhere else, so I too have chosen the solo route, taking the time to become legit and so forth. Just a shame that I cant even use my own reviews, but some people I've worked with really needed Jesus. Thank you guys again *goes back to lurking*

    Normally December is ok in my area but it has sucked for about a month now- January is always bad so if December has been bad I cant even imagine how aweful January will be - other ladies I have talked to on another forum have said it is slow for them to - hopefully it is just a regional thing

    Try an ad on Eros instead. A friend of mine in tampa area had the same problem & she only used backpage & such. I was aghast that she didn't invest into a proper ad on a proper site like Eros. It is well worth the money spend.

    Men want to see what they are getting. Full body pics & clear face shots. Way to many girls use pics that are NOT them or out dated old pics. Lying is not the way to go.

    Fuck TER & such.

    You want to do this then do it the right way. Charge a good price & don't do half hours, those guys always go over the time limit & then write bad reviews calling you a clock watcher. Never go below $300 an hour do weed out the creeps. As a general rule never work past 10pm either, that is generally when cops want to see you.

    My advice is the same for all gals porn star or not & it works.

    Good Luck,
    Sam

    Travel. Don't be in the same city all the time. Always not being available but out of town makes them want you more.

    Well if your new then a lot of guys might be a little weary of you until someone puts out a good review out on you.

    If not yes, pics could have a lot to do with it as the best looking pics tend to get the most responses but if you are in the Carolinas then backpage is probably the way to go as you will get the most responses from backpage.

    I know when was working in South eastern NC there was no point in posting on eros or cityvibe because backpage was the go to site for these clowns.

    Working in a bigger city like Raleigh or Charlotte you might be able to get away with posting on eros right now but this has been a rough end to the year.
