If you have a no review policy maybe? You can get on the provider board after a couple reviews to talk on there. I'm sure some ladies can help you take a look into it. Not sure if you have VIP

1. Market for the area you're in and realistic price points.  
2. Save your money.  
3. More than one stream of income.  
4. Get reviews. Photos. And regulars.  

Sorry you're having Financial Troubles. Seems these days us Guys don't have the Money to spend on you Lovely Ladies. The Economy is still in Bad Shape. At least you did see a Client. But as far as doing more for the lesser amount of Money you got, I would be firm on not doing more for the agreed amount of Money. You needed the Money at that time and I understand you had to do what you had to do.  

 
The Provider I'm seeing is in the same situation. Just this past week she only saw two of her regs all week. Me and another reg. She's asked me to help her out with food for the kids and recently a Birthday gift for her son. I help her out with NO EXPECTATION of getting a Free Session. I would never do that to her. She's really a Sweetheart just trying to survive. She treats me very very well. I don't mind helping her out because I know the Money is spent towards her kids and Bills. How do I know? I drive her to the store to buy Food for her kids.  

 
Good Luck to you. Hope things get better for you.

maybe try changing cities or even states

if your name hits (certain) guys boards, they will freeze you out as much as they can to get you to lower your price. Even good regulars have been busted partaking in this evil work. There are guys only boards out there dedicated to lowballing and shorting and taking advantage of the good girls out here.  
also try fresh pics, new ad copy, new boards etc but otherwise...
If your calls dropped that drastically, check the review boards in that area, have a hacker friend copy the site and check the ip addresses of the reviewers etc(not sure what exactly but they can track down the asshole every time) report the incident and the original circumstances to the website admin and usually the good sites like ter here will take down fake bad stuff thats only posted to tear a ladies rates down. Unfortunately some of the review boards in cali ARE run by some of the WORST guys out there.
Also cyber stalking is a real thing now a days so you can press real charges against them in some cities depending on if you're legally running an entrainment business etc. and they are guilty of slander or libel. It can cause them serious and financially devastating consequences for messing with a web ho lol- one gal pal of mine got over 300,000 because a guy was putting fake reviews up of her all over and it was just her ex bf trying to ruin biz for her if he could keep her broke he could keep her home.

DO YOUR HOMEWORK_ YOU HAVE THE WAHOO_ YOU HAVE THE POWER!

Another thing to do is have a hacker friend do a lil check on each asshole who posts crap on these bad boy boards- wait a few months etc and get your own revenge- they are screwing with your income and lively hood because they can't afford your rates- period! again check your local laws baby girl!

We don't take down the local grocery store because we can afford filet mignon right! Girl keep asking for your rates- stay strong and live on ramen for a few more days- reach out to your fellow providers- we'd rather help each other than see another gal lowering herself more thanks kosher- it hurts us all in the long run. If they get a legit review up of you doing something cheap you are screwed- it'll take forever to get your rates back to normal- if its a LEGIT review at least- so just remember- that 100 call might cost you thousands a month in the long run- stay strong stick to your guns baby! I have- and they may not like it but I won't play their game even after 10 years- I like what I do but I know the good guys understand operating costs and this IS a business despite what the uneducated and heartless weiners want you to think!

Have you looked at who else is advertising in the same places, to see if your ads stand out?  Or perhaps others are offering fuller service for money that comes close to what you are asking for?

Also check review boards and see if someone has left a bad review somewhere?

Something else to consider is to charge a little more still, but add one step beyond where you have gone before - FBSM + DATY (only).  I've wondered before why I find no-one offering that combo in the FBSM world, I guess it must cross a boundary most FBSM providers do not like to cross but it would be really appealing to a lot of guys I think.

In any case I hope business picks up again for you.  Good luck!

My advice would be to hike your prices up about 300% from what you're now making yourself available for, hang up or don't. Respond to anyone who wants to haggle, and only book with those who want what you have to offer.

Evidently your marketing is off.
And if your not putting yourself on TER or every other site your limiting yourself.

Good luck

I fully realize that both of those seem like unrealistic and unhelpful right this moment but I strongly feel that no woman should rely solely upon sex work to pay her bills. It's a fickle business and provides no healthcare, no contributions to social security, no retirement, no professional experience that can be written on a resume, etc. I know providers will chime in and say otherwise but the vast majority of women who are in sexwork are absolutely not thinking about their financial future. That is truly frightening.  As far as a savings account goes, I put $50 of every single appointment in my savings account. When I budget my costs vs. appointments for the week, I do not even consider that $50. It took me a long time to get used to the idea of not touching that savings account under any circumstance, but it's really paid off. Now when my phone does not ring, I worry not. I know my bills are paid and that my phone will ring again tomorrow or next week.  

My other advice is absolutely do not, under any circumstance, lower your rates. I have done that in the distant past and I regretted it every time. It brought out bargain hunters who were crass, disrespectful and expected 14 blowjobs and chocolate cake all within the span of a half hour. Those men were the very worst clients I've ever had. It also cheapened my brand. I market myself to a very, very specific demographic and that works for me. I do not want clients outside of that demographic.  When you lower your rates, men can sense the desperation and they will pounce on you. Humans sense weakness and they'll attack. This business is really no different.  

Mainly, I want you and other women to have an exit plan. I have an acquaintance through this business who is pushing fifty. She has relied on sexwork for the last 10 years as her sole source of income. Her business started tanking last year as her rates were really just too high for what she was providing. She was lucky to have succeeded as long as she did. She's not very attractive to begin with and put on some weight. She lowered her rates. Then she lowered them again. And again. She was almost giving away her service for free. And you know what? She didn't have more clients when her rates were lower. She simply had lower quality clients. Fast forward to a few months ago when she had some health problems that took her out of the business completely. She was evicted from her apartment. She's now on public aid. She has no employment prospects since she has a 10 year gap in her resume. She's basically destitute. While I have empathy for her, I also shake my head at the same time. Her lack of forethought is astounding. Do not get yourself in that situation!  

One last thing - I have been in the business for a long time and it's changed for the worse. It's a race to the bottom. It's not you. It's the business in general.

Not all clients are low balling some have a budget and wont see a girl if she is over a certain donation, while others wont see a girl if she is less than a certain  donation.  If you do not have a real job to supply income for your bills you run into this a lot. Other providers are allowing them to wheel and deal so of course they figure they will try.  

I suggest you get a normal job and do this on the side.  Stick to what you feel you are worth and when they try to haggle click.  Thats how I do things.  Im all about 4 quarters over 100 pennies.  Will you get less clients with a higher donation maybe but you will see less guys for more money.  I think you will find the quality of client will be better for you as well.

WTF! You're an entrepreneur in a truly free market enterprise where the prices for services are freely and consensually set  between sellers and consumers, and in which the laws and forces of supply and demand are free from government intervention, regulation, taxation, etc . Get over the little pity party you're hosting, quit whining on a fuck board, do some serious self-evaluation, and devise a strategy to improve the service you offer, as well as your marketing strategy. There's no shortage of johns looking for pleasure. That being said, there's also no shortage of hookers willing to provide the services they seek. It's a tough business, but I assume it beats flipping burgers at the local McDonalds.

You need to find an agency to work for. Whatever your doing wrong marketing it would benefit you to take yourself out of the equation. If you'r hot and you know it start applying to agencies in cities everywhere and esp cities with a healthy dose of chocolate women and and men. That takes the race card out of the equation since those agencies will welcome you.

Apply with class, don't share unnecessary information…basically don't apply and include a scattered tale of your current plight. Once someone is interested in hiring you and you begin discussing the split inform them you need them to cover costs to get you there and set you up, which you will work off during the trip.

You need to just f@&%. No emailing, no advertising, no negotiating prices. Just sit in a room looking like chocolate cake and rock worlds till your bank account high fives you

Hello everyone, I have to say in the past 2 days, things have picked up (I guess maybe now that we're in August). I've already had 2 clients at about 400 all together.

I think part of the issue also was, I was letting this man (boy) living with me temporarily in my 1 bedroom apartment. He's been living with me for like 3 months. We were not 'together' in that way, I was just doing him a favor. He was paying me half for rent though. Something that I could easily get in 1 client, so he was more a hindrance than a help. I really think he was affecting my work. I don't do too well with men living around me, unless we're together or it's TEMPORARY LOL. After he moved out, I was able to clear my head, adjust my marketing, and also not have to worry about when he'd be coming home.  

Now that he's gone and I've been able to up my marketing, hopefully these extremely slow days will fall to the wayside.
