What Is A Good Rate To Charge For Escort Services? There are two things only that form the crux of what escorting is about as an industry: money and sex. Everything else is forgettable. That's why the main topics of discussion
What Is A Good Rate To Charge For Escort Services?
The factors you should consider when setting your rate
Of course, before you can decide the final rate, you must be guided by a few factors. Several forces and factors determine every price in the world, or it wouldn't work. Below, the factors you need to consider:Your current location/market
The biggest factor of all in what rate you choose is your target location, also known as your current market. The size, economic wellbeing and population of your current market directly determines if you can set high or if you must stay low. High population and mostly urban areas work well for escorts, which means a high rate is believable even for a new girl. The opposite applies to rural and less dense areas. Highly developed urban areas such as cities (like London or Manchester, for example) also tend to have people that can afford escort services, thanks to high paying jobs and hundreds of daily incoming visitors from other countries. Plus, such areas are also usually more open to sex work as an industry, and so clients are always not just in plenty, but highly interested.Your targeted clientele
When setting out to be an escort, you must have a target audience in mind. Not all escorts are equal, and that always translates to the men they can get. Some escorts can accept any man as a client, while others accept only the mega-wealthy. The major differentiator between the two is usually the rates: the former tend to charge low while the latter go higher than usual. Low rates attract everyone, and only the mega-wealthy can afford super-high rates. And yet, the sex with both escorts might feel equally good. That goes to show how much your final rate is determined by your targeted market. If you're looking to position yourself as an escort to the wealthy, you'll need to set a rate that signals to wealthy clients how valuable you are. A lower rate is only a good choice if you want to reach out to an every-man audience, because they might not afford your services otherwise.Your roster of services
Not every escort offers water sports or extreme fetishes. Others offer almost everything. Some stick to one service, such as the girlfriend experience, and that's it! One thing that differentiates all of them is usually the rates they charge. It's not that having too many services on offer means you should charge more, or vice versa. In a way, it is the quality and nature of your services that determine the rate, regardless of how many you'll be offering. Some sexual practices are more taxing than others on the body, while you might find others so easy to offer. A roster filled with services many other escorts aren't offering has to be priced highly. Don't go too low, but if you're offering the same services as everyone else in your area, too high can hurt your earnings.The average rate of similar services in your area
If you're located in an urban area, chances are that you will not be the only escort in business. There will be hundreds more women in town, and most will use the internet to advertise their services, just like you. Before you set your rate, it's important to take a good look at what these other women are asking for. What you discover will then help you know if you are thinking too high or aiming too low. If escorts are popular in that area, the rates will most likely be high. The same is true of the opposite situation. It's not a crime to charge higher than other women in your area, but it's important not to go way higher than the average rate, especially if you're new in town.Whether you'll do outcalls or in calls
The value you attach to your worth and your services
There is something about certain escorts that is intangible, yet it's so vital that it sets them apart: value. The topmost escorts are valued so highly for their company that they set crazy high rates and can only be booked by wealthy men. In actual sense, not much differs between them and any other high class escort in business. But when they make themselves pretty expensive, they announce to the world that they, in addition to their services, are highly valuable. The choice is yours, therefore, to make your mark as a top tier or low-tier high class escort. The first step is by setting rates that are quite high, moderately high or just high enough, respectively. Each level signifies how much value you attach to your services.The cost of setting up shop and maintaining it
One thing many escorts forget and dismiss is that escorting is a trade like any other. And like any other trade, there must be a balance between costs and revenue, otherwise the trade will not be sustainable. This is the other factor that you should consider as you set your rate. There are lots of costs to incur when starting any business, even when it sounds as cheap as an escorting setup. You've got to pay rent for your place, you've got to buy the clothes and toys and other necessities you'll need daily. You've got to market yourself and pay any other bill that comes up. That's why you need a rate that amply covers all those costs and then some. You can never know how popular you'll be as an escort, but setting a sensibly high price can ensure that whatever the outcome, you don't come out last. A good rate ensures that you start your business on the right footing, and that you can maintain it for weeks after.How quickly you need the money
This might sound forward, but all escorts are in it for the money. The sex and the gifts are just added perks. Because of our different backgrounds and circumstances in life, every escort enters the trade with their own set of problems, dreams and plans. Some girls might need the money immediately; others might have some to survive on for a while. If you need cash quickly, you will have to set your rates a bit lower, unless you already have a client list that knows your usual price. Setting lower rates can translate to more customers if you're perfectly positioned in your immediate area. If you have some money to survive on, any rate will do, as high as sensible decision making can allow.How popular you are
If you've already been in the business a while but are looking to recalibrate your rate or fully rebrand, your popularity also becomes a factor to consider. If you've got a fair number of happy clients in your black book, a little raise in rate is a sensible option. If your services, for one reason or another, haven't caught on yet in your target market, a lower rate is the way to go, at least for a while. Going high might further muddle your chances.The Ideal Rate for Escort services
So, what is the ideal rate for beginners to charge? How about mid-level escorts and highly experienced ladies? It's the factors above to side, ultimately. But if you're based in London, the average rate for high-end escort services ranges between £200 and £1000 or higher per hour but not lower. The factors above will determine your final place on the spectrum. Beginners tend to charge between £150 and £350 while mid-level escorts tend to slide between £400 and £700. Experienced can scratch the £800 – £1000 mark and beyond. Ultra-expensive escorts can afford to charge in the upwards of £5000 per hour.Some smart techniques escorts use
Like with any other trade, the pricing system is managed in lots of ways, all directed by the need for more profit. Ride-share prices go up during late-night hours. Product prices get slashed on Black Friday. They're all techniques designed to bump the bottom line in some way. Escorts do this too and you can employ their tricks when charging for your services. First, some escorts charge way higher for a full night's company. Others increase the rate if the session goes beyond two hours or a certain hour of the night. Others offer a discount if a client comes to the escort. Many escorts also have higher rates during peak times of the day or peak days of the year. Others set higher rates around major events in town when targeting incoming visitors. Most importantly, many escorts spend as much time with a client as he likes, because that means more money at the end. That is because escorts charge per hour not for every individual service. This means that every hour they spend with a client will be taxed, whether it was spent at dinner, shopping or in traffic together. At the end of the day, that results in a good payday from a single client.What men think about escort rates.
Men tend to have an indifferent reaction to the rates an escorts might charge. While the rate might appear too high, most men will not mind, because they can usually afford it. That's because only men of a certain financial class tend to go in for escorts in the first place. Escorts, as noted above, are already expected to be expensive too – a note of confidence that they will offer services that is out-of-this-world good. This signals that the end result of the transaction will be worth it, so a high rate becomes palatable. And for many men, especially those with huge egos, expensive escorts are just another expensive object they must obtain to express their power. They will therefore see no problem with a high rate. This means that escorts shouldn't worry about men finding their rates too high. Those that can afford will come get the prize.Conclusion
