aubreyxxx 20240 Report post Posted February 9, 2012 Thanks in advance.for taking time to help me out! I have been an escort through an agency off and on for a few years but only within the last few months have I became an independent service provider. This week end I will be hosting my first duo with a lady I am very comfortable doing it with. I find pricing is different if working for an agency or what is expected from an indie. I want to clarify in no way am I asking you to tell me what your rates are but I am hoping that you could help me understand how you may come up with a donation that is earnrd and deserved I have no issue with setting a donation when it is a one on one encounter. But this new service I I am going to be indulging in has a lot more included than my usual appointment.s If you dont feel comfortable posting to this reply I would appreciate a pm and I assure you I would never divulge such private info I'm crossing my fingers hoping one of the wonderful intelligent ladies can her me out Thanks a bunch Xoxoxoxo Aubrey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VexingVixen 2519 Report post Posted February 10, 2012 Hi Aubrey, Setting your rate is really a personal choice. You need to determine what you /need/ to make a month, what you /want/ to make for a call, as well as taking into consideration the going market rate for your area! I hope you figure it out! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fortunateone 156618 Report post Posted February 12, 2012 You can certainly base your rate on the amount the agency charged the clients they booked. Consider the client is already paying that rate, so it does not necessarily mean that when you go indy, and the same client or type of client comes to see you, that your rate needs to drop. You mention something about services, but I am not sure if that means you will now be providing more (riskier?) services than when working with the agency. Even if you are now planning to work with more restrictions, (free of the agency requirements?) you can still assume the agency rate charged works for you, your type, your location. You can adjust it slightly upwards if there will be fewer restrictions or remain the same, and you can adjust it downwards slightly if there are more ($25 less per hour?) Re: duos, you simply charge your fee plus her fee. There is no double discount for duos. re: rates in general, it doesn't hurt to view a lot of ads and a lot of websites, find your similarities and differences with other sps, and base your rates accordingly. There are certain conditions where super low rates do not benefit you at all, and there are some instances where super high rates are not appropriate either even if you think you are comparable to a very high end sp. As mentioned there are a lot of things to factor into rates. It isn't necessary to drop the rate too far from the agency rate simply because you are accustomed to providing at your lower amount (your portion of the total fee). It isn't necessarily better for you to charge a rate that is that amount plus 50 for example if the agency rate was that amount plus 100. It seems better to you because you may see it as earning more than you did before, but you are going to incur a lot of expenses now that you are indy that you did not have before. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soleil Sublime 38108 Report post Posted February 12, 2012 Yes my dear, please be aware your overhead will increase substantially. I've never worked for an agency because the independence of this career choice is one of the main reasons why I'm here. But it definitely takes money to make money by yourself. :) 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aubreyxxx 20240 Report post Posted February 14, 2012 Hey Ladies! Thank you so much for your much appreciated input. I have taken it all into consideration and am grateful for your repsonses. I already had my own standard prices for my hourly rates and what I include but thanks to your advice it has helped me into what should be charged when including 2 ladies.. The only issue i was having in determining prices was what is appropriate when the mp wants more than the two ladies providing service on him and when he wants us to enjoy each other. We were able to come up with a market geared price in which we thought was fair to us and ofcourse the economy haha Thanks again for your help and I hope you all have a wonderfuol Valentines Day xoxoxo Aubrey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
