Yes, over the last few years COVID has increased cancellations, but that is generally speaking. COVID didn’t all of the sudden increase cancellations in Albany just this month.
We all have bad days, weeks, months. Gotta look at the big picture.
8 years in this industry & 2020 was my best year in terms of $$ Earned. Jan 20th 2022 - Feb 18 2022 was my best month in terms of $$ Earned.
We have to stop blaming COVID. Yes, it will impact both ladies & gents. But at this point, established & experienced providers should see the obstacles that COViD has presented & adapt.
I hope this doesn’t come off as mean. I’m rooting for every other woman in this industry. Community over Competition!
Back to the topic at hand. Yeah I bombed in Albany this month. I bombed to a degree that I have never bombed - in hundreds of tours! I’m not too proud to admit that. But it wasn’t COViDs fault.

2). People were putting their mortgages in forbearance and enjoying no rent even if they didn't have an interruption of income, so money was becoming plentiful.
3). Stimulus was flowing.
Right now what you may be feeling is a market correction, and by the way, it's going to get worse. The screws are getting turned on everyone with the cost of fuel and food. Unfortunately, hobbying will have to take a back seat for some and when there is that occasion to burn a little extra cash to support the habit, mongers are going to be very selective and will want to see ladies without much lead time. It's shitty and getting shittier.... you can thank our representatives with a (D) in front of their name for a ton of this.
Overall, I think ladies are going to have to accept that their prices are going to have to come down and keep their attitudes about it in check if they want to keep money flowing. And considering the quality in this area overall, that's going to be a tough pill to swallow for many as they think they are all gods gift to men.
