How To Become An Escort

Becoming an escort is not always easy, and it is a decision that should be contemplated and well thought out as opposed to one that is rushed into. Although the stigma surrounding escort work is not like it once was, many women will still hide their work from friends and loved ones. So, before you do anything, you have to be sure that this really is the field that you want to work in. We will help you along the way, giving you tips on how to become a successful escort, as well as common mistakes to avoid.

5 Important Questions You Must Ask Yourself!
Before you start, you should ask yourself these five questions, which will help you ultimately decide whether the world of escorting is for you or not. Although it can be incredibly rewarding, it takes time to build up to this, and starting out can sometimes be tough.
• Are you ready to commit to being an escort? If you are wanting to do this on a part time basis alongside your regular job, not only do you need to make this clear to your potential clients, but you also need to decide whether you are committed to potentially giving up all of your free time to spend with your clients.
• You also have to consider whether you like the idea of being a companion to another and get paid for it. Some love this idea, whereas others have to think more closely about and how it will make you feel afterwards.
• If you do decide to tell your family and friends, are you prepared for their reactions. Some might be more shocked than others about your career choice, which might mean that they take longer to accept it. You have to prepare yourself for this, and decide if you are ready or not to accept their reactions.
• Sometimes escort work can be quite emotional, and you have to be strong enough to detach yourself from this. So, before you do anything, you need to make sure that you can handle the emotional effects of being an escort.
• Finally, you need to decide if you are going into the field for money or fun, as both have their pros and cons. If you are going into it solely for the money, it is not going to happen overnight, and as a new escort, you have to be prepared that it will take some time for you to build up your client base. You have to feel some element of enjoyment for it as well, otherwise you will quickly begin to resent it, particularly if the money is not coming in as fast as you would like it to.

Getting Started:
Safety First!
A major concern of many when thinking of becoming an escort is whether it is safe. This is a legitimate concern, and the job does involve risks from both clients and law enforcements. However; what you do have to bear in mind is that every job you do will have an element of risk to it, and it is how you decide to educate yourselves on these risks that will determine your exposure to them and how you handle yourselves in these different situations. If you know what you are looking out for, and how to stop a dangerous situation from happening, by knowing how not to put yourself in unnecessary danger, the risks are significantly reduced, and it can be a very enjoyable job.

Tip One: Get To Know The Rules And Guidelines
Before you sign up to anything, just familiarise yourself on the rules and guidelines surround escort work, so you know what to expect when you go and meet your first client. Safety is obviously incredibly important, and should be your first priority. Remember that money should never actually transfer between hands. Instead, the donation is normally placed in an agreed discreet place inside the hotel room. Remember that saying no is perfectly ok. Even if your client gets upset at your decision, it is ok to stay firm in your answer if they ask you to do something that you are not happy with; particularly if you have not agreed on it beforehand.
Tip Two: Independent Or Agency?
After you have made yourself familiar with these, it is time to decide if you would prefer to work independently, or whether you. Both come with their benefits and downfalls and it is not a decision that should be rushed. It requires time and thought, as it will affect your whole time as an escort.
We’ll start with agencies, as this is often the most popular choice, especially among those who have never worked as an escort before. This is because they will help you with everything and you will have an element of support, which is ideal if you are brand new to the field. They handle the advertising, the screening of clients, your security and in some cases your driver for outcalls, and most importantly, you are stepping into an already established business, and will likely have immediate clients. That said, you will have a lot less control overall, which might seem fine to begin with, but is something that you could resent, the more experienced you become. Agencies will also take a large cut of your profits. This will mean that you will have to work more hours to see the profits that you would if you were an independent escort, which can be disadvantageous, especially if you are only doing this part time.
Independent escorts on the other hand have complete control over everything, as you work for yourself. This includes all of your own advertising and expenses, but also your own screening and security, which can be the downside, and can potentially put your more at risk. Being an independent escort is also a lot of work. Only you are responsible for building up your client base, which means you are in charge of your own advertising. This means that the more hours you put in, the more benefits you will see. This is great if you are spending your full time on escorting, but not ideal if you are doing this on a part time basis.
Tip Three: Learn The Basic Rules!
Once you have decided on this, remember that you have the potential to earn a lot of money; however, there are some basic rules that you should follow, particularly if you do decide to work as an independent escort. The rules and guidelines have been set to help you as an escort to earn the money that you would like, as well as staying safe at all times.
• Screen Your Clients: Screening your clients is so important, especially if you are new and you have not met them before. The basic rule to follow at all times is to try and find out as much about them as possible, before you meet them. Always ask them for their name and telephone number, and if you are making an outcall to them, always ask for their landline number. This is fixed to the property and will prove that the client is where they say they are. If they cannot give you the landline number, then avoid meeting them. If the client has an incall appointment, make sure you take a mobile number, so you have a way of contacting them should anything about the appointment change. Don’t assume that your client will tell you everything that they want, before arriving for the appointment, and find out what he expects from this meeting, and whether he has any fetishes that he would like to live out. Most importantly though, always remember if, during the meeting things start getting weird and uncomfortable, ask them to leave, and if you feel that something is off on the phone, do not take the booking.
• Get Your Own Transport: If you are going to an outcall appointment, always arrange your own transport – never get the client to pick you up, or meet you somewhere, and always arrive at the destination by yourself. Plan, in advance how you will get home, and make sure you have arrangements in place for when you will be leaving. More often than not, if you attend out call appointments, you will meet at a hotel. If this is the case, make sure you meet them in their room, so you can collect your money first. If, for any reason, you travel with the client to another location, for example, if you are accompanying him somewhere and he wants to arrive together, insist on getting a taxi, as opposed to travelling in their own car for safety reasons. Always try and arrive at the meeting place around fifteen minutes early, so you have plenty of time to check out the surroundings before you go in. If something does not feel right about the place immediately, or if the place is too noisy with music, particularly if it is a client’s private residence, you have time to leave. Unless you have agreed otherwise, never enter a room if your client is not alone. After all, you have only agreed to be an escort for one person at a time. Just like you would for any other outcall, make sure you take payment as soon as you arrive. Never wait until the end of the night to be paid.
• Get Your Money First: If you are new to the escorting world, asking for payment can often seem awkward and intimidating, but it is so important. For you to be successful at what you do, you need to stand firm and insist on strict rules when it comes to getting paid. Ensure prompt payment when you arrive for an outcall appointment, or for when they arrive at an incall appointment. This should be in cash, not by cheque or credit card, as clients can cancel these payments before you can collect them. If your client does not have the right amount of money with them at that time, it is important that you stop the session, and ask them to leave. Carry a pen checker with you, so you can check the notes that your client is giving you, particularly if it is a large amount. This way, you can avoid taking hold of any fake notes.
Tip Four: Essential Handbag Items

Ok, so now you are familiar with the basic rules and regulations, you should know what essential items every escort should carry in their bags.
• Condoms & Lube: First of all, we’ll start with one item that no escort should turn up to an appointment without and that is condoms. Make sure you carry different options, and check it regularly. Replace any old ones with new ones. On top of that, make sure you have some lube with you as well. By providing these yourself, not only do you stay in control of the situation, and can insist that they are used, but you also get to choose the kind and brand that you prefer.
• Tissues, Wet Wipes & Sanitary Wipes: Make sure you pack plenty of tissues, wet wipes or sanitary wipes. Let’s be honest, you’re going to get messy, and an easy clean-up is necessary, particularly if you are going from one client to another. They are also great for quick make up fixes.
• Essential Makeup: It is recommended that you also carry around any essential make up that you are likely to use to top up your make up throughout the evening.
• Essential Toiletries: It is also worth bringing some deodorant, chewing gum or disposable toothbrushes, body spray and a hairbrush so you can always look and smell fresh.
• Spare Underwear: Bring a spare pair of underwear, so you do not have to wear dirty ones upon leaving.
• SAFETY ITEMS: Finally, but perhaps the most important items that all escorts should be carry are personal safety items. Always have your fully charged mobile phone, plus a backup phone handy, should you need to make a swift exit. This is your lifeline, so know at all times where it is. It is also worth carrying a personal alarm or pepper spray, or something that can keep you protected in potentially dangerous situations.
Although the above might seem slightly concerning and make it seem like being an escort is an incredibly dangerous job, it is important to know how to keep yourself prepared and protected for extreme situations. Escort work can be extremely fun and rewarding, so long as you do not rush into it, and think about exactly what you want from the job itself, so you know that you are going into it for the right reasons.
