Showing Your Face

Times are a changing when it comes down to advertising and marketing yourself as a sex worker. Once upon a time, back in the early Adultwork days, escorts were a little more mysterious, hiding their faces like secret agents. But it seems nowadays many are being more open about their lives. Faces on show is now a thing and it’s a hit with the guys.

You might not want to do this for obvious reasons but you could show maybe part of your face. Taking a selfie with your phone obscuring part of you is something some women do. Or you could just use props and go a bit burlesque with masks, a feather boa or strategically placed hats. But do think ahead, because the future is full of surprises… and potential magical face-revealing gadgets!

Photos In General

Nowadays, you have to make a bit of an effort with your photos (note to self). Glamorous, professional photos work well to get the punters in but if they’re airbrushed to the hilt, expect to get some look-and-goes. Remember how disappointing it is to buy one of those plump juicy burgers advertised with all the trimmings, only to receive a sad, limp, squidgy mess.

You can take the photos yourself by standing in front of a big mirror (hotel rooms usually have them). Look at other women’s photos to get an idea on poses you could do, and take photos in lots of different outfits. The guys want to see that you will make an effort and aren’t going to open the door wearing a tatty dressing gown and big M&S knickers.

There’s a free app called Perfect Me which can help you to tidy them up.

Specializing

Punters are getting kinkier by the day. Has anyone else received those emails asking if you will join the guy in a gunking tank so you can throw green slime over each other? We are guessing there isn’t much call for this service but other things are becoming ever more popular.

Gagging is all the rage nowadays. You only have to look at all the cam girls who offer it with their dildos to see how popular it is.

Some escorts now market themselves as professionals in certain areas, so if you’re good at something (and don’t hate it) why not jump on the bandwagon.

Seasoned punters love a fresh twist, so if you’re into roleplay, why not start as a saucy secretary and see where it takes you? We all know gents love those classy nylon stockings with a pinch of that old-fashioned Cuban heel – you can snag ’em here without breaking the bank (no, we aren’t affiliated, we just love to share a bargain).

And let’s not forget the power of some delicious dirty talk. If you find it as effortless as breathing and it even gets your own motor running, this could be your secret weapon.

Marketing Yourself In 2023. X, Insta, blah blah – Is It Really Worth It?

We are all waiting to see how the Online Safety Bill plays out, which might affect Adultwork and other online platforms that show adult content. But in the meantime…..

In today’s digital age, sex workers are using X and Insta to promote themselves. To be honest, we don’t think it’s really worth it, not unless you are selling a book or something. But some sex workers enjoy it and some of them have thousands of followers. Whether that turns into cold hard cash, we aren’t so sure.

Two of us here have tried it and in our view, the work you put in is just too much effort for the returns you get; ie – punters showing up and actually paying. We would rather put that energy into other things.

Mind you, if you’re clever enough, you might just catch the eye of a fancy publisher or a top-notch agent. They’re secretly lurking around, waiting to discover the hidden gems amongst us. It seems like that’s the real reason some folks endure all the madness and bother of posting endless snippets that no one’s really interested in.

Time is short so we all have to think about where we want to spend our energies, but boy have things changed. We wonder what’s coming next. Maybe we’ll all have to go and get a “proper job” if the Online Safety Bill has its way and forces everyone to prove they are an adult to view even scantily clad (but not nude) sex workers online.

Actually, don’t take that last paragraph seriously – we reckon things will be ok; it will either never happen to the extent some of us imagine, or there will be ways around it.
