How much money do you make per week?

[Nathan Holt]

I know these amounts Vary but can any escorts tell me how much money you usually make per week?

Are there any weeks where you make much less then the week before or some really good weeks where you make a lot more then usual?

And what do you offer?

I would be surprised if you get any helpful answers to this question. In a solo provider business, the more the provider works, the more he is likely to make. I doubt any escorts, or anyone else on the forum is going to give you figures.

[Mocha]

Someone could say 1,000. Sounds good right?

 

But is that in Dollars, Rupees, or Hatian Gourde?

 

Have a friend who told me he'd see escorts in Chicago that made $5,000-6,000 a month. I asked him when was that, he said around 2002-2003. I just burst into laughter. I told him, Hun...you're talking about the days when rentboy was young and men4rent was the hot shit for only $19.95 for a platinum ad trial. Before the smart phone, before the scruff app, before the recession and inflation. We're not talking about the same Chicago honey.

What made you think that was an appropriate question to ask escorts or anyone else you don't know?

[greatnorthernp]

My grandmother would have frowned at the question and responded, "I don't think domestic finances are an appropriate topic for discussion," however I am not my grandmother and neither of us is, or was, an escort.

 

I am amused at the boldness of the question, so I've got an answer of sorts. To date, I've made over a million in my career and expect to make another million before I retire.

[BaronArtz]

Let me take a stab at this. In the NYC market, where transportation is not an issue and nobody travels long distance, I think a reasonably popular guy can easily get 15 hours of appointments in per week. Say the average price is 25O/hour, that translates to $3,75O per week or a cool $15,OOO per month. There are of course expenses, such as high rents, gym membership, good haircuts, wax jobs and the like. Not a bad gig, if you can do it.

 

Keep in mind that there is upfront work and time spent to actually getting the 15 hours per week. You got to deal with emails or text messages to set up appointments with your regulars, qualify new clients, weed out time wasters, crazies and the like. And unless if you book the clients back-to-back-to-back, there is down time in between appointments. It all adds up.

40 + years ago I was on laying on the beach on vacation with a friend. I had known him for several years, and we were talking business. I casually asked him how much he netted monthly from his business. He looked back at me and said very casually without smiling, "That's none of your business"...I have never repeated that mistake again.

[whipped guy]

BaronArtz makes a good point in that assuming that if an escort will get 15 hours of work a week it will actually take many more hours of work to set up those 15 hours. In fact any escort will probably admit that the most difficult portion of the job would be the hours of preparation it takes to set up the actual appointments and then hope that you are not dealing with "crazies" etc. who will then cancel on you or otherwise waste one's time. Of course then there are expenses for advertising and promotion as well.

 

Obviously the escort who would be able to answer the OP's question and probably to the penny and with charts and graphs showing variations over the past decade would be @Kevin Slater. Indeed he has posted similar information (with out the dollar amounts) in this forum in the past. While I find the OP's question intriguing, it is not a question about which one would ever expect to get a specific answer as such things go under the realm of privacy.

 

Plus, if an escort is making $3,750 as in BaronArtz example, that translates not into 250 dollars a hour, but much less due to all the time that the escort would have to spend to get those 15 hours of work. That would put the escort in the realm of the rest of the working slobs out there and would confirm my motto that "nothing is ever easy"!

 

Incidentally, my best friend and I were ironically touching on this subject yesterday and even being best buds who are now retired from being in the same type of business we NEVER discussed things specifically for the 40 years that we were in business. We did so only in generalities and in a manner whereby we might impart some wisdom to enter into our very different business models. As @bigvalboy mentions it was none of my business nor was it any of his business even though we were in the exact same business... Which was not the oldest business by the way... Speaking of which I'm saving that business for the next lifetime!!!!

 

However, I am tempted for what is left of this lifetime!

Asked my grandma the same question who also owns her own business she got very upset at that I would ask such a question I think I was like 12

I agree it inappropriate to ask this question.

 

I must add though that I wish I could make $3,750 a week regardless of how many hours it took. A more interesting question is how much of an escort's time is spent on vetting potential clients and arranging appointments and how much time is spent actually seeing clients.

[+ bashful]

Most people in the U.S. don't like to divulge their income. Probably more of a cultural thing. When I traveled to Scandinavia some time ago, I learned that in Sweden, and Finland, either incomes, or taxes paid by all citizens were public knowledge. They were published in the local newspapers. Don't know if that's still the case.

[Kevin Slater]

A more interesting question is how much of an escort's time is spent on vetting potential clients and arranging appointments and how much time is spent actually seeing clients.

 

Off the cuff I'd guess that perhaps for every hour I spend with a client I spend another forty minutes vetting calls, coordinating with other escorts, prepping and dealing with other minutia.

[mike carey]

While asking the question is a little presumptuous, there are people who have talked about their success or otherwise. @Kevin Slater has posted graphs about, inter alia, his earnings. I don't think asking this question is a problem, if there is an issue, it is demanding an answer.

LOL!!! When in business I never made $3750 a week! Of course that is a theoretical amount based on BaronArtz theoretical example of what would be the escort's gross income as exposed to net income. One would need to subtract business expenses to determine net income. Since I always did my own books I had about 15-20 categories of expenses. The number of categories for an escort possibly would be much less. However, it would include at least some basic expenses such as advertising, travel, the cost of a business telephone account, supplies such as condoms, lube, toys, miscellaneous gear, equipment such as a sling, maintaining the equipment, etc. etc. Things can add up very quickly in any business of that I'm quite sure. For example, even if the escort is working out of his apartment he will have higher air conditioning bills during the summer if he needs to keep his playroom or bedroom cooler for client comfort. Heck, even if the escort had to rent a larger apartment to accommodate his business model that would need to be figured in as well.

 

I have always wondered how many guys simply wing it as opposed to figuring out all the factors involved in setting up and actually running a business. It reminds me of the I Love Lucy episode where Lucy and Ethel decide to market Aunt Martha's salad dressing and realize way too late that they are actually loosing money on every jar sold!

[Juan Vancouver]

Hey Nathan,

 

I am compiling a very detailed list of my earnings and expenses, clearly itemized. I am also including my social security number, my legal name, age, place of birth, different passport numbers, all my passwords and of course, my mother's maiden name -and- the name of my first pet.

 

I am also including all the Canada Revenue relevant telephone numbers, to make the process easier for everyone.

 

No, I don't think it is either appropriate or safe to discuss this with anyone. I am very curious why is it that you thought it was okay to ask this or why you wan to know.

 

Care to elucidate us?

I'm curious about how much a successful escort makes. On the other hand, I'm sure people may be curious about how much I make. That doesn't mean it's OK for me or for them to ask. Some curiosity just has to go unsatisfied.

[alexslaveboy]

I agree with the escorts on this one....I'm in accounting and nobody posts what do insurance premium accounting specialists make.....income is nobody's business but the taxman!

 

I am curious about LADoug's questions and Kevin Slater's reply as to how much time and effort is spent by an escort by weeding out crazy clients psycho clients lookers for freebies etc....to get to the real "sane" clients

 

I always ask the escorts I hire about how they pick clients and some say they only responded to 4-5% of their rentmen email, others say they go with their gut instincts and some try to take any booking that pays his rate or higher

That's what intrigued me about being an escort.

Great input on what it takes to run a business, unless you're interested in a hobby.

That was a funny episode!!

[Edward]

Funny thing, I have had at least two escorts ask how much I make. I answered their question without giving an answer. Yes, them asking me is inappropriate but it would be interesting what escorts make. Guess we will never know. The question is strictly inappropriate. I would assume some escorts make a lot. But I bet most cant support themselves on what they make as just an escort.

 

What ever they make they earn if they do indeed provide the service they advertise. I remember when I was young. I had many older guys come on to me. I found them repugnant. Not to be rude/obscene but I don't know how working boys keep it up for many of their clients.

 

I was young and handsome an had a really good time. Now I am old and paying for it. I don't mind paying for it if I get the service. I usually come away dissatisfied.

It is hard to be a curious newbie...and it is even harder to be slammed bc of it. I appreciate folks who at least have the decency to be thoughtful and suspend judgment. I remember very clearly a post @Kevin Slater had on year-over-year business. I piped in asking for more data, and @purplekow kindly pointed out that my curiosity had crossed a line. Both Kev and PK were very cool as I tried desperately to remove my big foot from my mouth. It was nice to be spared further embarrassment. To this day, I remember their good faith.

Off topic(Sorta) but I think the biggest Misconception about Escorting is that Its "Easy money". Its not. Not In this day and age at least. I can honestly say I LOVE my Job, When I'm actually working. The hard part is the Trolls, Scammers, People who have no Intention of Hiring...Basically sifting through the BS. The easy part is actually meeting. There's alot of work that goes into "Preperation"

Why not outsource it? And no...I don't mean the meeting or offshore . I know a few guys who have screeners.

Indeed, this is an odd question. A more appropriate and helpful one might be: "How much do you charge per hour," in order to set your rates properly for the market in which you are located. Bigger city = more money.

 

I had the pleasure of a young man's company for an extended period of travel this past March and April. We agreed that he would accept a rate of 75% of his average monthly salary for the past year. I won't divulge his total salary for the year, but his monthly income ranged from a monthly low of $14K to over $25K. Dividing by 4 would equal a weekly range of $3500 - 6250.

 

You should offer what you are comfortable with offering, and hopefully that will be more than what your competitors are offering.
