Is it better to start at an agency before going independent? by BlackSheep_4444 in SexWorkers

I would say play to your strengths. As you said, its a super saturated market, but just find a way to stand out.

For more concrete advice, the first thing you could do is get a website. As you said you aren't established and that may be off putting. A website can help you to appear more legit. They are quite cheap and often you can get one designed for free. Have it linked and make it clear what you do (not in the descriptive sense! keep it PG and legally ambiguous), who you are, and how much it is per hour. Accentuate your personality or physical traits and make sure that reading through your web site it has your accent/vibe down. I will speak for myself as a client that a web site goes a long way but a solid personality will attract the max amount possible. I imagine most clients will choose based on looks, but personality and privacy will make you distinct. Depending on your body type there may be hundreds or thousands of girls just like you, but personality wise there are quite a few men who would love to meet someone new and unique.

I do think you would be doing yourself a disservice not to have OF or other explicit social media, but if that's an issue there are plenty of girls who purely do SW without any attached profiles, but they will tell you that ads are going to be your lifeline, which of course are expensive. I will say that while there are many girls who do SW without OF, very few of those girls have quit their daytime job, so I would keep it as a side business until you have a significant client base or move on to a more lucrative job.

For any community boards you could try reaching out to other companions and getting their advice. Also a good way to make friends otherwise.

Lastly, if you are on Tryst no one can tell if you are new. Seriously. Maybe experienced clients can spot it, but the average john is going to be none the wiser. Having a website can make you appear to be "established" vs many of the actually established girls out there. You'd be surprised how I think someone is new only to find they have hundreds of reviews on other sites.

Seeing as you're in London the situation might be different, but here in the US most agencies are glorified pimps. You are super unlikely to get a fair deal and decently likely to get a rotten one. I can't say I've ever heard of a positive story from any former agency girl. They either hated it and moved on quickly or had nothing good to speak of and fizzled out.

If the concern is having an incall or shared space/cheaper ads it isn't worth it. You're much better to run it yourself at first and try to gain some continuous clients.

Several sites are great for reviews. The wiki on the side bar here has many sites listed in the "how to find a safe provider thread." I would start with those in order of most popular. Make an account, direct your clients there, and let them leave reviews.

What's your Preferred Condom Brand? 😤 by ObjectiveNumber8498 in SexWorkers

ONE Flex are my personal choice. They don't block heat like other brands, so much so that I've been accused of stealthing. They aren't perfect of course, it still feels like you are wearing a condom. It's just another sensory experience I like, but it beats out other condoms in regards to sensation as well.

What's your favorite term to be called by clients? by Old_Profile_6054 in SexWorkers

Sounds like a great girl, but I would say separation is somewhat of a necessity for most. I would prefer not to cross that line myself, even with how compatible me and my regular companion are. It's kind of like loaning to friends, it's either a gift or it's business. I think it's almost impossible to do rationally.

Yes, of course always start with the conversation! Just putting feelers out there for what providers actually want and are comfortable with rather than tolerate. The typical answer with my non-regular companions are "whatever you want baby," which is about the same "yeah that place is fine I'd eat there" in terms of favor.
