Not the business of fast money anymore, but still a good personal choice.

There was a time when you could enter the escort business at the web based independent or agency level and make a lot of money. Back then we were more of a “in the know” thing and didn’t have to worry about getting busted either. Vice cops where focused on street level hookers, drug dealers and those trafficking minors.

Times have changed. This recession as they call it, yea right! How about depression, has put a hurting on the sex industry. Oh yes, I said the “sex” word. For those of you who are still in denial, about 90% of escorts are sex workers. Is it all about sex? NO but don’t think for a second some guy is going to pay you just to go to dinner.  That is a fantasy often created by those of us who don’t want to accept the truth of what we really are. So to further our denial we come up with pretty words like “Escort” and “Social Companion”. Let me be clear, for those of us at the middle to high end of the business, we are also paid for our time and companionship.

There are many women who are now wanting to become escorts, so much so, the market is getting a bit flooded right now. If you’re thinking of doing this because your mortgage or car payment is due next week and you need immediate cash, I hate to tell you but in many cases it’s not going to happen. You needed to have begun the day after you were laid off months ago. At the higher end of the business it’s all about marketing and what you as a product have to offer. I’ll come back to this later.

This business has many different levels (read about it here) the lower the level the higher the risk. Depending upon where you live, yellow pages operations have twice to four times the volume unlike a web based agency or independent. Usually they don’t adequately screen and will do business with any guy with cash in his pocket. This also means they’ll do business with people some higher end agencies wouldn’t touch.

We all would like to think we’re worth a $1,000.00 an hour but the truth is 98% of us are not. Many women come into this business thinking some guy is going to pay that (especially you models please GET a LIFE!) and quickly find out the hard cold truth. Keep dreaming. If you want a shot at that kind of money in this business you need to move to Manhattan, Los Angles or Miami. By the way, if you do find a guy who willing pay that, go for it. However, I must warn you, chances are it’s just luck. I wish you good luck in replicating it. If you can get him to do it every week for a month or every month for at least 6 months then you’re on to something. Otherwise, it’s what is called a fluke and you can’t constantly pay your bills on flukes! Then there is the issue of $1,000.00 the first time, then he only pays you $700 the next and then $300 and so on.  Meanwhile, your best friend who went to work for the agency or is an independent has probably out earned you when you add it all up over the same amount of time. I can’t tell you how many women have fallen for this flash in the pan technique. Especially those of you who frequent sugardaddy sites, which has nothing to do with the escort business.  Getting paid less and less money for the same amount of time. Then Mr. Sweetness and light turns into Mr Jealous possessive control freak who wants to be your boyfriend and “save you”. By the way, when you say “no” be prepared for things to get really ugly.

In today’s world it’s all about marketing and for many agencies or new women there is ramp up time before you get business depending upon where you live and your market conditions. If your an independent and the new girl on the block everyone will come running to you, especially ALL the PREDATORS  the other women wont see. Think of it this way, your fresh meat who’s new and doesn’t have a clue.  Many women who start out as independents don’t make it 6 months. Just don’t get lulled by the initial overwhelming interest, it WILL die down and if you haven’t banked that money, you’ll be sorry.

If you apply to an agency ( there are some good ones see our links page) read their website, take the time to see what they are all about. How an agency markets you is different than how an independent handles herself. Some agencies it’s all about the money, others it’s all about the “art” of what we do. If you’re the kind of women who only cares about the money, stay away from agencies who care about “the craft” of Escorting. I will tell you now, it won’t be a good fit. Also under the current economic climate it can take up to a month before you get your first call, is some places. There are a lot of women jumping into this business and it may take time to get noticed. In cases such as this, go with agencies who do long term marketing, in the end you’ll be better off.  A little secret about who has a competitive edge. Those who are REALLY open minded when it comes to various acts. Women who knew in their youth  this what they always wanted to do.  Ladies who are natural born pleasers and you get off on giving pleasure.

Finally, please remember something very important. Just because men show interest in you in a bar, club or on the street doesn’t mean you’re marketable as an escort. This is a whole other playing field and personality profile type when it comes to men. The latter want you for “free” but watch what happens the moment you tell them, cash up front. Go a head try it. Prove me wrong, I dare you… I double dog dare you.

Good luck
