    Default Work could not be more dead for me these past few weeks any tips?

    I am currently working on posting more candid photos when I am allowed to post another ad soon on the adult review site board, I have posted touring ads, stay at home as much as possible to avoid missing an appointment request as well. P411's available now feature is a joke so far in my experience . It is just so dead and my lease is not up for a few more months in the state I am living in right now. I slowly did stumble back to being late for appointments this past month (5-10 minutes late) so I'm not sure if that is what it is, but I'm working on it starting today so I don't return to being super late all the time like I used to be. Any other ideas to increase the client numbers without posting pricey ads on EROS or Cityvibe? Both ad sites usually don't do anything for me regardless of paying for ads.

    Build an instagram following, build a twitter following, free wordpress website.
    Target your regulars with something new
    collect emails to stay in touch
    work with other ladies and offer doubles

    None of those will be the quick fix answers you are probably after but those are the correct avenues of pulling yourself away from the mercy of paying for ads etc

    Indie, sorry that work is slow; Sophie certainly nailed all the going to basics I've seen. As Sophie indicated, I'm just the type that responds to a friendly email reminder that someone I like is available. Please be careful to not let any desperation show, thats a turn off, the vibes I like to see from the provider is: 'feeling sexy, fun, holiday approaching, miss you (to the client), treat yourself, I'm so happy, I'm so frisky'. Things along those lines that make me want to be around that provider.

    From the client side I can say the 'Available Now' has worked for me, I've used it several times. Maybe don't give up on it if it is free. I respond to the available ads that indicate they are available right then - also helps me if I've seen them before. By right then, I meant it says specifically they can do a short notice appointment on that day. Not sure about more graphic pictures, sultry fires my imagination and is what appeals to my tastes - not sure if that gets wider results though.

    Good luck, I hope business picks up soon. I know how it is when business is slow.

    I'm sorry things are slow.

    Don't do a free wordpress site, they're not sex worker friendly there and as soon as you build a following, you're liable to get shut down.

    Why are you late for appointments? That's unprofessional and won't help you get repeats.

    There are more serious problems if ad sites aren't getting you conversions. =x

    wordpress is ok if you voulintarily put yourself in the "adult" section. They just dont want you coming up in the feeds of others if your NSFW thats all.
    You are also not allowed any outgoing links to porn/sex worker content.
    Those are the actual terms. its not a cut and dry issue with S/W content on free platforms.

    I will also add for the OP.
    Hopefully this comes accross as well intended, but I am going to be straight up.

    You are in the wrong line of work if you are wanting to throw up an ad and expect the phone to ring with people throwing money at you to then be late to the appointment etc etc.
    Think long term and think a 24/7 marketing plan.
    Marketing comes naturally when you treat this job as an artform.

    How expensive are ads on Humplex/ Eros/Eros VIP/ ?

    I often wonder what do you have to pay to put up an ad on those sites.

    IMO not worth it.
    You dont want to be paying for ads without gauranteed returns, very few sites can show REAL stats of the returns of your investment.
    There are literally hundreds of online platforms hawking girls left right and centre without the traffic to warrant the fee.
    If you do pay for an ad make sure you ask for their annual stats/ check their ALEXA rankings (just for a general idea)
    Eros is probably one of the only sites that rank + offer a user interface good enough for you to actually pay for.

    That is why the unofficial industry has moved onto social media platforms. which of course comes with its own set of problems but your not attached at the vein like you are with an ad.

    The smartest thing ANY girl can do is build her own website and OWN it=then filter TARGETED traffic to it through your social media channels.

    Yep I agree with the lateness. I guess I was stupid enough to allow it but I guess the last minute appointment (30 min.-or 1 hour) email requests made it tough for me to be available. I am not available in that area but I am learning I should be waiting daily early and all ready now.

    same, my work phone use to always ring-ring-ring all day long, i couldn't keep up with it all and walked around feeling so overwhelmed when i thought about my work and what i needed to do. now i rarely get phone calls, and maybe a new client emails twice per week. i'd be dead and buried right now if it weren't for my regulars.
    you're not alone, we'll all pull through.

    It has nothing at all to do with being 5-15 minutes late. ZERO. I've been in this business for a long time and am late pretty often. I have no problem retaining regulars because I rock their world every time and I have a great reputation.

    This (meaning Summer) is the slowest time of the year for this industry. Families are spending lots of money on vacations and spending time out of town. Kids are out of school. That doesn't leave much extra cash or time for clients to get away unnoticed - most of whom are married and have family obligations. There is a huge drop in business nationwide during the summer.

    I see the same type of posts every year. Ladies wondering why it's slow. It isn't you or anything you're doing wrong. It's the season. The best thing to do is step up your marketing efforts a bit if you don't have enough regulars to sustain yourself.

    I do not think that it has anything to do with being late if your clients like you. I am late more times than not, and I still get lots of repeat clients. Maybe it has to do with your location? Come to Atlanta, it stays busy here from what I have seen the whole time that I've been doing this(2.5 years). Do you mean dead as in phone doesn't ring? Or do you mean that you get inquiries but not a lot of legit calls?
    I currently work in Atlanta, GA doing outcalls only, and I get at least 1-2 calls on a slow night. Also lots of regulars. I totally recommend it!
