I'm looking to get into body rubs I will be screening all clients but I am unsure of how to make sure I don't get stood up my hobbyist. A personal friend of mine was an escort provider and told me her experience of half the time getting stood up by guys either by not showing up at all not calling back for the second call for her two call system or being told they were going to go back to their car to get the money and never came back and ignored her calls. It got so bad before she stopped providing she ended up having to double book and stand up some guys because they would both show up and started making them give her $20 to leave when they told her they were going to their car to get the money because that's a line that is used to be able to ditch the encounter.

Sorry , I honestly doubt they deposit and much less for a bodyrub .

I haven't even started to advertise yet I'm still trying to work things out and work on my weight so I can command a higher price (I'm a BBW). I do well offering XXX services online but hobbyist seem to be very critical seems like your waist size has to be proportional to your fee.

What is the best way to avoid being stood up then? I'm going to be investing a lot of money into the booking and setting up the room giving the best services and experience  possible I don't want to spend all that time and money only to have my calls rejected when the guy simply decides not to show up and I call him wondering where he is.

From what I read you plan on a 5 star hotel for an incall , have champagne, snacks and hygiene products - correct ?
You are offering JUST body rubs ? I heard no mention of full service .
Your rate will be $200 an hour , correct ?
You also said this was a side gig so only one or two clients a day .

a calculator for what? if u cant be productive and nice don't be here this is a newbie board I'm here to ask for help not be ridiculed

I don't see your plan as being profitable for you. The numbers just don't add up based on your rate, potential hotel costs and volume.

Personally I would never give a deposit of any amount to book an appointment with a local provider.  I understand your apprehension about getting stuck with a hotel room but the reality is that's a pert of the business. Out call may be a solution for you but that presents an entirely new set of safety and screening issues.  

I don't know who you are getting your advice from but if she is having a problem with guys ditching appointments once they see her then she is probably misrepresenting herself in her ads.

Good luck, stay safe.

the question about deposits comes up from time to time. See the link, also if you learn how to use the search feature it will cut out the waiting for replies.

ty that helped a lot

$200 is not considered high end, babe. If you are going to dish out the money for a 5-star hotel (which at best is going to cost you at least $200/night), champagne, candles, snacks, etc, whilst only seeing one client per day, you are going to be spending more than you're making unless you have a 2hr minimum or something. Even then, your profit margin is going to be extremely low, and that's not even taking into account things like advertising, website hosting, and other expenses.  

Its not that im not willing to see more then one person a day its the fact that im expecting all thats i would get. unless guys are super flexible and are willing to work with me on the day but like i said in the OP my friend who was escorting charging $40-60 per hour never saw anyone unless they were wiling to see her right then and there but im thinking that was just the kind of clients she was attracting but how many guys would be willing to shell out more then $200 just for a body rub? Im trying to provide a top notch experience pulling out all the stops but i know even $200 is steep for a massage but thats all im willing to do maybe i should consider not even providing at all?

or not but I have never once had a guy not stay once he got there ... Going back to his car for the money just to take off??? Tells me she probably wasn't honest in her ads ... Not a good idea ... Its good to see you are planning on doing something different than she did.  

Not sure where you are but rates are based on many things ... Bigger women are beautiful and many seek them out.

it was always an issue for her even when she was using her real pix she was larger and using fake pix of a more shapely girl it got bad for her in the end - she was getting less and less calls so she moved changed her number and started using fake pix until she quit : ( . im just extremely worried about being new and getting stood up non stop and being out money for room bookings and time. i do live XXX cam shows as my main job but went to massage school and never really used it so id like to do body rubs as a hobby/side thing but want to be getting something out of it that i can justify taking time away from the computer and dildos to do and get out of the house once in awhile meet some new interesting dress up and look nice for a man ppl not spend $200 in a hotel room for shits and giggles because some guy decided to stand me up .

First she should not just go for 5star hotels ... She would be very limited ... 3 1/2star and up is fine ... With priceline (and defending on where she is) she could spend $45-75 for the room more if in NYC or LA  

Use priceline ... Use real pics ... Stick with ter and get on p411 & dc when you can ... Read read read and good luck

The ORIGINAL POSTER mentioned the 5 star accommodations - not me, so my math was given from that .
You want to host (your choice not mine ) at a friggin $45 motel with $10 bottle of wine and some $5 snacks ???
Oh my fucking god woman !!!! She's wanting to draw a more respectful gentleman because her friend had issues with her price and business structure. . You reply to go with a $45 motel and cheap $10 bottle of wine - kinda puts her right back with the clientele her friend was having - great answer to help the young lady ! Just damn !
Here in Miami you'd be a low class whore with some ghetto customers maybe in your city this is considered "high class" and your fine with that  
Backpage comes to mind for advertising with your business model and city !
You also failed in what the young lady asked (and they say guys don't listen )  
She wants to provide "exceptional" , "over the top experience " at a 5 star hotel  .
Her words and ideas not mine ....
So you in return suggest a $45 hotel room and a $10 bottle of wine ! WTF ?
So I know I'm in $100 deposit , another $100 for MASSAGE ONLY ...
I pull up to a motel that leaves the light on for ya .....
Ya, sounds great !
I'm heading to the AMP down the street for $100 ...
She also wants the gentleman to be "flexible" on his time in case maybe she double booked and could he please understand and just hang out in the $45  motel parking lot . Let me call the wife and explain my delay , no problem sweetie !
Oh my fucking god !!
Bri .........Bri .......Bri ....... You also could use a mentor as well !

 As far as supplies ... Wine or champagne $10 or less, snacks $5 or less if she wants to bring that ... The other things she may need such as candles, oils, mouthwash are items that will need to be purchased once or twice a month and still not very expensive  
   
 If she is charging $200 an hour chances are she will be doing something extra so not a bad place to start ... You are right body rubs are often booked for more than the hour where gfe escorts can and do book .most appt with multiply hours ... Part time does not mean 1-2 appt a day ... More like 1-3 a week ... I book 1-2 a day and work full time ... Not everyone books several a day  
   
 Definitely some good advice and something for her to think about ... But if she does get 1-2 appt a day she will still be making good money  
 

After reading what you just wrote, I suspect that you are not really looking to do this for money, you are really just trying to find a nice man, to dress up for and go up on dates with and that kind of thing.  That is perfectly fine, but if that is the case, I don't think you are going about it the right way.  In this day and age, you may want to look at a site like eharmony or something like that.  

Getting deposits is a problem.  Most providers do not ask for them & only if there's a large investment like blocking off a weekend or over night where turning away other clients or for travel expenses (like flying a provider in).  Advancing money to a provider risks getting ripped off...  she has half the money & gave no service.  Why work for the other half?  
 
It's rarely done but another way for the occasional event is to meet at a coffee shop next to a hotel, the gal gets the room & they enter.  In one case I gave her the room fee...  still a risk of rip off.  (Gals have been known to leave through another exit.)  In another case she covered it.  At least if you meet first, you know he's gotten that far...    

to you? geez give her a break.

the hell u didnt ! i love the idea of meeting at a coffee shop first ty so much

I have invested some time looking at priceline  for the Miami area as well as spoken to a few ladies there ... You can get a 4star hotel for $50 ... I was giving her suggestions if she is going to charge $200 instead of telling her there is no way to do it with a little class and not break the bank ... I never said a cheap low end hotel ... I said use priceline and save money ... Yes smart people do that lol ... I don't double book nor do I charge $200,and my clients are gentlemen ... More than I can say for you ... Just because I don't waste my money doesn't mean I'm less classy and I must have hurt your feelings for you to come at me like that ... Grow some and get over it!!

Sorry if I missed it, but will you be providing a body rub only? No sensual/sexual contact? If not why screen?

correct me if im wrong but isnt a body rub a massage with a happy ending? plus i will be nude. why should i offer more for the same price as these places ur taking about?  plus i went to massage school and was lic for awhile until i get tired of being jerked around and taken advantage of at massage envy. it was like being legally pimped but i was doing massages not sex lol. what would be so wrong about asking $200 maybe more. go to a nice hotel have a glass of wine and a snack maybe a little convo too with a beautiful woman have her give u real massage a nice tug at the end and be able to touch her where ever u wanted during the service?  theres no reason a should settle for less when i will offering everything else but sex would expect with a high grade full service provider

...in the last six months than I have in the entire 20+ years I've been a business traveler. These ladies know a thing or two about controlling cost of sales. Much respect lol

A massage with a happy ending commonly goes for around $100 in most places.  Not $200 and up, with a deposit to top it off.  And for $100, that massage service is with a nude LMT provider who does everything else that you just explained that you would do.  That is your competition, and trust me, you have a lot of competition.  Several people have told you that your prices are too high for what you are offering and they are right. As for wanting a $100 deposit up front, that is the single best way to guarantee that you will never have any clients, ever.  If you feel that you shouldn't have to settle for less, then it is your right to have that opinion.  But your career as a massage provider will be very short lived in that case.

so basically what ur telling me no matter what i do on top of the massage the difference between being able to charge 100 and be considered fair priced or charge 200-300  as a normal range is if i have sex or not

I've checked with the discount sites like Priceline...  sometimes there are rooms not listed there.  Or not listed with the main office.  Calling the hotel can be more or less money.  My latest trip I booked through MapQuest which equaled a price on a discount site.  
It does require some home work.

...the difference between being able to charge 100 and be considered fair priced or charge 200-300  as a normal range is if i have sex or not.  

I don't think I caught your location (city).  

Ok, as others have stated, if you are going to host out of a 5-star hotel, you will need to see more than one gent per day. Your concern was that more than one gent may not book per day- which can happen quite often, so it is a legitimate concern. My advice would be to host out of a nice 3-3.5 star hotel…there are quite a few nice one's you can get for $100-$135, but using Priceline or other bidding services, I have heard you can get them many times for 1/2 their asking rate.  

Well ok you got me convinced - no deposits.
