Escorting like any job has its pros and cons. Almost anything you do where you work for someone, the opportunity is technically there for you to do it yourself. How successful you are depending on you, in some jobs being independent instead of working for someone can prove hugely beneficial, other times it’s easier to just work for someone who’s already established in that field and prosper from what they’ve already done.
In the case of escorting, it’s a little different. How successful you are with an agency vs independent can vary dramatically depending on a number of factors including the escorts performance on the job or simply the climate of the current market. So here at London Escorts Net, our agency wants to ensure anyone who wants to join the industry remains safe and make a decision they won't regret. That is why we are going to go through a list of 6 pros and cons to being an independent escort such as the benefits and disadvantages.
So let’s start on a positive note with the pros:
Wouldn’t it be amazing if every job was like this, and we could all freely choose the hours we work and don’t work? Well with escorting independently there are no time requirements to meet, no shifts to clock into and no hometime to wait for. When you’re independent you have the freedom to book clients when you want, and if you really want, to just not take any bookings at all. The day is yours to do with as you please, a freedom rarely granted to anyone working within an agency as they will have to meet clients when they are booked for them.
Similar to choosing your hours you also get to choose your own terms. This means you decide how much you charge for a client and you choose where you can meet the client. The freedom of independent escorting allows you to fluctuate your prices depending on how you feel if you wanted. This may not be good business to charge the same clients different prices, but as your clients never meet, you do have the freedom to charge different clients different fixed prices. This means the opportunity for you to make more money is available to you if you really want or need. Which leads us to our next pro:
Since agencies find you your clients and handle all your calls and bookings, naturally they expect a payment for this service so most agencies will take some of the money escorts make as a fee for the service they provide, which is fair. However, the advantage of working for yourself is the money is shared between you and yourself. You keep a hundred percent of the earnings and have total control of what you do with them, it’s your money.
The pros to being on your own versus the agency really comes down to control. When your independent your money isn’t shared, you answer to no one and you choose your terms. Independent escorts have a freedom and a level of intense control that is impossible if you work for an agency.
So onto the cons of working independently, why do so many escorts choose to be under an agency opposed to being independent. What downfalls come with working on your own? Well, you have to:
Independent escort don’t have the luxury of leaving the client-finding to someone else.
While an agency will find clients, advertise for you, handle all your calls and bookings from initial call to when you meet the client and take a small charge for that service, independent escorts have to do all that by themselves.
Finding client on your own is possible but can be dramatically slower than an agency. This is because agencies may already have loyal clients who regularly book old and new escorts but from the same agency as a level of trust has been built between the client and agency and building this same level of trust and loyalty with clients can be incredibly difficult on your own.
An agency can also spend money on advertising and finding clients for you. Doing this on your own can prove costly, and since finding clients independant is harder, it can prove a waste of time and money.
Even if you advertise in the right places, are lucky enough to build up a pool of clients and make enough money to live, you may still find yourself stuck for work. Like we previously mentioned, the success an escort experiences can be down to her performance or simply just the climate of the economy. Like any business, there will be dry spells, and these dry spells are a lot harder to work through when your managing on your own, whereas an agency may be able to get you work if your regular clients aren't calling as often.
Some escorts have children to look after or reside with their families. For this situation being independent can be more difficult as many clients may want to come to your house, or meet you during school pick up hours. Having children isn’t easy, as a school or nurse could call at any time and demand you tend to your child. These types of commitments can prove a lot more difficult to handle when escorting independently as there is no one to cover your bookings or help you pick up your child. This can damage your relationships with your clients and ultimately damage your business.
So if you are considering a career in escorting, weigh your options, contemplate how your current living situation could accommodate your career, and which path would be best to take, as everyone's lives and experiences are different, for some escorts an agency like ours is a godsend to there business, for others they find they flourish a lot more successfully on their own.
