If a friend or a acquaintance want your services, would you accept ?
Friend no, acquaintance probably.
Oh good, a no stupid questions thread, because I def feel my question might be a bit stupid, but what's the ideal time frame to book and indy in advance? How far out do schedules start to fill up? I've heard booking something more than a month out might be considered a bit weird. I would figure the more notice the better but I'm brand new to all this so I don't know. :shrug:
i agree that months is a bit weird to me too. Also, the further the booking, the firmer I’ll be on deposits.
I don’t have an absolute “favorite” timeframe. Weather last minute, same day, 24-48h, 1 week or 1 month, they all have their pros and cons.
That said, my least favorite are the “right now”s. In my experience (and according to my mental stats) they have the highest flop/fuckery/kickout rate. Obviously, not all last minute appointments are bad appointments.. but the good ones are very few and far between.
Except for one, every seriously problematic booking I’ve ever had was a “right now” one. I also find right now guys to be the most demanding (
which makes sense considering they’re the ones inquiring in the heat of the moment and super horny). They ghost mid convo the most and the discrepancy between what they want and what they’re willing to pay is the absolute highest. They usually have done little to no research and they’re just the worst overall. The no shows amongst this group don’t bother me very much because they happen while the wave of inquiries I get right after bumping my ad is still going on so I’ll just move onto the next most seriousperson. Interestingly though, it’s also all or nothing between low ballers and big spenders.
My favorite is booking in the morning for evening and evening for super early morning. It’s my personal sweet spot. I have plenty of time to get ready, eat, organize the rest of the day around a reservation yet still be in the same mood/mindset when you show up as when you booked it. No shows are really annoying in this group. If I book you in the morning for that evening, I stop bumping my listing and responding to new inquiries so salvaging the day / time slot is near impossible. Some no shows but not too many either. I find the requests and expectations way more reasonable but not overly boring within this group. Average $ amount per meet is good, not great but more consistent. Most if not all attempts at endless texting and conversation happen within this group. Somehow too many think that since they’ve booked for evening, they’re entitled to text endlessly until said appointment.
