I am trying to get started as an escort and haven't been having much luck.  I wanted to start w/ an agency as had been suggested by numerous people here.  Unfortunately, there does not seem to be any agencies in my area - at least none that I would want to work with.  I live near Cleveland, Ohio.  I found a few reviews on this site that were favorable for girls that worked for an agency, but it seems most escorts in this area are independents.  The agencies that I did find were for girls that "toured".  I love to travel, but presently am not able to.  One agency that I am interested in was willing to start working w/ me, but wanted me to eventually travel.  They are based out of Florida.  They told me that I could make a lot more money and there were more opportunities in other cities - which is true, I've no doubt.  I sent them pics and they agreed that as far as looks were concerned, I "have what it takes".  That was not an issue.  The issue is location, apparently.  

Now I don't particularly like my location either, however, I'd rather not pick up and leave just yet.  I figure that if other girls can work out of this city, I should be able to as well.  I just don't know how to get started.  I'd like to find an agency, but haven't had any luck.  I'd be willing to learn the ropes from an indie, but imagine my inquiries would not be well received.  Is there anyone out there that can offer me any advice?  It would be greatly appreciated.  I have sent posts before but they have never appeared on the board so I don't have much faith that this one will either - but here goes....

Thanks in advance...

just want to wish you well, if i could help you i would.

Cleveland Ohio is for sure a "hot tub'n, sushi eat'n kind of town" (I'm being sardonic)
Although certainly not LA, NY, Chicago or Miami I'm sure there is "Craig's list"(Uuggh!) for a quick, FREE advertising venue. Place an ad w/picture in the erotic services section there and screen HEAVILY.

Trust your “gut”. If the caller asks too many invasive questions or keeps reiterating on donation amount ….PASS!

The most successful gals in the biz started somewhere. It was often at the bottom and wrought with road-blocks. If you got marketable capital (IE: good looks), and you're willing to apply yourself; you'll get the ball rolling.

I am just getting started myself and I think it just takes a little time, so don't lose hope. I have found the independent providers in my area are WONDERFULLY supportive and helpful Having a website will serve you well, and I have learned so much by reading TER reviews and posts. Good luck and keep smiling!

I believe that Ciara (Buffalo) tours through your town periodically, and may be a resource for you to consult with.  She's a straight shooter, so be prepared for the unedited truth.

Good luck.  Cleveland needs to get laid too!!

To be honest, no matter what you look like they would of said you "have what it takes". Most agencies are desperate for girls (pretty or not). The best escorts are not about just looks.  Try a massage palor to get started and get yourself comfortable with the business. Escorts work everywhere so I can't see why it's hard for you. Try the closest big City. If you really want to make $, Indy is best. Agencies want at least half.

I've only changed planes in Cleveland, and know nothing of the market there.

Likewise, I've yet to meet Ciera.  But after seeing her posts of the past year+, and a few PM, I willing to give you this advice - borrowing a term from roulette, place your bet on the Red!!!  In other words, I believe Ciera is a great person who really wants to help you, I mean somebody has to keep the men of Cleveland satisfied between Ciera's visits.

I too have not me Ciara but have exchanged some e-mails with her and read her posts here for several years.  She is a straight shooter who will cut to the chase without the BS.  Someday I'll meet Ciara (the only reason I can think of to go to Buffalo) and maybe you too.

Hey sweetheart, my Name is Frankie.  I have been in the business for only a short time, but my clientelle has taken off quite dramatically!  A couple of thing for you to try would be starting with free postings, ie: Craig's list etc.  Even if you spared the cash, try placing a one week ad on the internet.  It's usually only about 30-50 bucks and you would definitely be surprised at how well your business took off.  I have lots of other sugs, and some secrets, so email me if you would like @ [email protected]...

PS- I did exactly the same thing when I started out.  I called a couple of ads just to see if some girls would chat with me, and to my surprise, for the most part they welcomed me immediately :0  So much good luck sent your way from me to you!  Frankie Love

I've helped a few girls get into the biz never asking for nothing.. if they stay safe, we all stay safe...

First thing to teach a provider..

Escorting isnt at all about sex- its all about professionalism, honesty discression and safety.

Then..
Let the pussy out of the bag !
Argh!
I mean cat

Cleveland is an awesome city, with many fine gents !

Ciara, is being on time in there some place? For those of us involved in covert hobbying, timing can be critical..

A provider cannot be late if she hosts incall. Shes already there
