IMHO the traffic sucks in the Galleria area. Originally Posted by The2DogsAbsolutely! That's because there are a LOT of people (potential clients).
Posting taint aids in locating a suitable incall, or so I have heard ... Originally Posted by pyramiderPyramider, I'm not even sure I HAVE a taint.
To me it's like this. If you aren't making that kind of money, then what you have to sell off to be a working girl is too much; the price is too high. If you are making at least $10,000 cash a month, then suddenly the balance is more reasonable, and of course more is better. Just remember, and this is what I tell all ladies getting into the business that come to me for help, from your very first post, website, showcase, transaction, whatever, you need to be planning your exit strategy. Like it or not, the demimonde, is socially frowned upon.Olivia, you just made my dick hard! Excellent advice. Very cool you're willing to share what you know. Oh and Happy New Year!
With no incall at $300 / 90 minutes (per your website) that's $200 / hour. A PI is what? $25 an hour? Two hours is $35 (I'm just guessing.), that's over 10% right there. If you Priceline a good room in the Galleria, that's $100. You need to book two engagements to justify that or have a few fall back friends that you discount.
Alternatively, that's what an incall mate is for. If you are making $5,000 a month then you can easily afford $500 a month a rent in some other lady's incall. However, it is always best to have the lease and utilities in your name. You could always get an incall (A nice one is about $1,400 all in.) and let ladies pay you rent either on a by use or flat rate. I've done that before too. I let the money stack up $50 at a time until I had a month's rent. (It covered about 1.5 months rent every 6 months.) Sharing an incall works out well if you have 1 1/2 incalls. That is, you have an alternate place.
Remember, you have other fixed expenses too for travel and advertising. For instance, a base ad and advanced placement on EROS is $300 a month. P411 is $250 for advanced placement. If you post frequently on ECCIE, that's sufficient advertisement as far as I'm concerned, but other ladies clearly don't agree. Houston is too big of a market to not advertise effectively. Go Google escort and Houston and see what comes up.
Make a budget.
Advertising: $350 (P411 advanced placement and EROS base ad)
Incall: $500
Travel: I suggest it. You'll be gone 36 - 48 hours and come back with a net anywhere from $2,800 - $3,500 or there abouts. Not bad.
Expense Items: $100
Don't forget to amortize photography too.
That puts you at $950.
If you eliminate the advertising it's $650, but you're cutting your own throat.
If you eliminate the incall, you're still at 10% with a PI.
Follow the math.
And always have a plausible back story. I have another business that is legitimate, will withstand scrutiny and easily explains the money. Sounds like you have one.
Feel free to contact me if any of this makes sense or you have any more questions.

None of the 4 of them lived there either (they'd occasionally crash there, but none lived there) it was nicely furnished with crap that looked nice from Craigslist even though it was all used and relatively cheap, the depreciation on furniture is tremendous so for example a year old couch that cost $2000 new could be had for $250, etc. Occasionally some of the girls would get screwed and only see one client that day and have to blow half her winnings on the room rent, so it's not fool proof. This also gave all of them easy access to do doubles and even triples if requested. If your low volume (days per monthwise anyway) a situation similar to this might work out ok.
