You've all the rights to charge as much as you want- the right client will come to you no matter what. Do you know why? Because escorting isn't everyone's cup of tea.

Many people think that being an escort is the easiest way to make a crazy amount of money. You just have to spend a couple of dollars on self-care, dab some makeup and voila you're all set to make all the horny johns go crazy throwing $1000 bills your way. 

As enticing as it may sound, it definitely isn't true unless you make an effort to attain that level in the field of escorting. Such a level comes with experience, popularity and, of course, the services you are willing to offer. 

Making decisions over which escort websites/directories/agencies to sign up for, photography, branding, a list of sexual services offered and pricing everything alongside extras/special requests can turn out to be a real headache. 

Therefore, it is important to consider all these aspects before setting your prices. Do your research and check what other escorts are charging in your area. 

How Escorts Set Their Rates

We know that offering escort services is pretty challenging and before we start with this topic, let's make one thing clear: everyone in this biz is there for a reason! Not everyone is fortunate enough to set their price however they prefer. 

Often, the rates are a reflection of the circumstances you're going through and what you need for survival. After all, you have bills to pay just like everyone else. Similarly, some of the escorts might not be able to afford the upkeep needed for a 'high-end look'. Your rates also depend on your demand in the market. 

For some women, it's a side hustle. While some do it for their own pleasure and earning money isn't really a big deal for them. Ultimately, it is up to you to decide what works for you the best. There are plenty of ways to set your rates in the escort industry. You can either take notes from this vegas prostitute sharing her life lessons about pricing escort services or you can come up with your own plan. 

Starting off as a newbie, it can be a bit difficult to position yourself in the escort world. You need to attract clients and that too with no reviews or word of mouth. 

You can sign up at online escort directories and set a minimal hourly price to get started. Now, that hourly rate depends on what services you're offering. You should also consider the area/location you're living in while putting a price tag on your sexual skills. Remember there's no one else to share the effort and responsibility you'll be putting in to thrive as an escort. 

Each client is unique. Some look for plain sex whereas others love to indulge in kinky and steamy sexual encounters. While one might pay $200 for vanilla sex, another might pay $500 for the same service. 

Low-Cost Doesn't Imply Low-Quality Service

For starters, you can start with low prices for oral services. Once you've gotten several satisfied clients on your list; you can raise your prices accordingly. 

Prices vary with region and typically mean to rise over time. An escort in Montreal could be making up to $500 an hour whereas the escort working in Toronto might make $260 at the same time. Location plays an important role in setting your rate. Unfortunately, it can't be solely based on your appearance, skills and what you truly deserve. 

It is the nasty capitalist society that tricks us into thinking that earning high is more worthy. Your services can be low-priced compared to some and it is still acceptable. 

Price Tags Don't Determine Your Worth 

There's enough diversity when it comes to pricing and you just need to embrace it. It doesn't make you any less skilled & unattractive whether you're charging $1000 a night or just $35 for a blow-n-go; your services will still be loved and appreciated by many. 

Being an escort, you've got the freedom to break the rules and be flexible with your charges unless you're working through an agency. In that case, a certain percentage of your earnings will be going to the agency as commission and changing the price won't be a good idea.  

In this world of escorting, you'll encounter Johns that haggle on your hourly charge draining all the spirit you had for this profession. Also, some Johns will try pushing your boundary, which is where you should be refusing straight up. However, whatever prices you set for your services, you should never allow clients to negotiate with you. They can either pay the full price or search for another escort. 

Some clients might also try to maximize their pleasure by asking for extra services or simply thinking they're implied. Let's say you're charging $450 for an hour's session and 'Anal' isn't on your list of services then that will count as an 'extra' service. It depends on you whether you're down for it or not and it should never be offered without an additional incentive i-e $50-150. Sharing nudes and nip-slips should be treated as 'extras' too.

Budget Escort

Many escorts start in the sex industry with low rates initially. It gives you a fair idea of dealing with clients and figuring out what works for you. Registering yourself with reputed escort agencies and directories will help you boost your online visibility. 

Your USP is going to be your super-affordable hourly rate that'll serve as tempting bait to attract more visitors to your escort profile. But don't go overboard with low prices. You are not working for free. It takes skills and patience to be an escort so you should be properly compensated. 

Meanwhile, get an idea of what fellow escorts in your local area charge for varying durations (15 mins, 30 mins, 60  mins and 90 mins).

One thing to live by is to never offer any service for FREE. This rule of thumb applies to all escorts.  It isn't alright to let your client take advantage of you considering you're a budget escort. If there's a special request to cater to BBBJ, Erotic Massage or OWO, don't forget to charge them extra bucks for these add-ons. Perhaps, you'll charge an additional $25-50 for each add-on, but that's up to you.

What you're offering to the client is a duo of your social and sexual skills. It's your choice to charge whatever you like. Gradually, you'll find those clients that'll happily pay your hourly charges and leave good Winnipeg escort reviews too. 

VIP/Luxury/Independent Escort

Starting as a luxury escort is one of the best things you could do for yourself. Clients often view VIP escorts differently and there's an entire psychological approach linked to it. Being a premium escort has its perks. You set your rates higher so that you don't have to deal with lowlife Johns.  Knowing your worth and all the experience you've got is incredibly flattering and that's what keeps the clients hooked. Only the people who can afford your exceptional services will make your way to you. 

For instance, $500 is a good price for GFE (Girlfriend Experience) and if the client requires PSE then you can maybe charge him $800 or more. For a full-fledged sexual encounter, the charges can even go up to $1500. It is indeed lucrative to become a premium escort. However, it requires keeping up with the current fashion trends, regular health checks and spending money on skincare and beauty treatments.

Pricing Strategies

Here are a couple of pricing strategies that can help you in this escort industry. 

-Reducing hourly rate for longer bookings: This trick works like a charm and encourages people to make weekly bookings without giving it a second thought. 

-Setting a low hourly rate to attract visitors will help you rank your profile in the top search results if the client is looking for the lowest-priced options. Chances are your profile will get noticed and you might land a client soon.

-Offering Discounts: You can even consider offering discounts but only for regular clients and for services you enjoy. This is up to you to decide whether it's worth giving a discount or not. If you're a fan of threesomes and personally enjoy hooking up with couples then offering a discount will set you apart from the rest of the escorts too. 

In the end, it is all tied up to your appearance, self-worth and how confident you're about the services you're providing. The most important thing is to not undervalue yourself and offer your services for less than what you deem you deserve. 

However you decide to price your services is fine, as long as you consider all the relevant factors. For more advice on escorting, visit our Escort Rankings blog.
