sslaveO -> RE: How much $$$ does a pro domme make?? (5/14/2008 11:37:32 AM)

It varies as much as any other industry as many have said. I know one who has been a Prodomme with many loyal clients, subs and slaves for years who makes well, well over six figures. She is passionate and amazing at what she does and therefore, she has a lot of very regular clients for years and years and a fabulous reputation that makes her very sought after. She also has many buying her absurd amounts of gifts and taking her to expensive restaurants on a regular basis.
I also know house dungeon 'girls' who are doing this while they are in school who make maybe $500 a week.
My first Mistress years ago was in the midwest and started prodomming; some weeks, she had 10 appointments (she charged 150/hr back then) and some weeks, she had 2 and some she had none. Where she was, there wasn't enough of a Scene or enough kinksters for it to be at all reliable. There were 2 other Prodommes in her whole state at the time, and not that many more now. She was paying $400 a month rent on a small ranch house and her husband, a leather craftsman, built most of her furniture and crafted most of her equipment. The Domme I know making six figures pays $5,000 a month rent in a very expensive city and has invested a ton of money in equipment and toys. She has a zillion more people as potential clients and her business is pretty steady and reliable for her, but she also competes with over a dozen houses and hundreds of Prodommes where she is.Going Independent without a solid reputation is not easy there, and that is why many work for houses who have established reputations and regular client not to mention they aren't paying crazy rent and don't have to worry about equipment; the price though is their split is 40/60 in favor of the house and they have to compete with a dozen other Mistresses on staff and sometimes as many as six sitting on the same shift. It's not an easy industry that you can just make a ton of money in very fast, sometimes that happens but it's not so easy.
There is a MUCH greater annoyance of no shows, wankers and time wasters than any other industry - we are dealing with something sexually based. Men, when they are sexually charged, lose their minds and do things very spontaneously and then when they are 'done' they act normal again. A guy sitting online looking at a Prodomme's webpage gets turned on, has all kinds of thoughts running through his brain while he is turned on.. so he calls and asks 10000 questions and makes an appointment. That crazy charge goes away and the guy never shows up. Accountants, lawyers, dentists, etc don't deal with that. Their clients don't call on the phone pestering and wanting attention and acting needy and asking 1000 questions about what they will do to them and sometimes literally jerking off on the other end! Totally different ballpark. I would bet for every one appointment that doesn't show up in any of those fields, a Prodomme has 5 noshows and 12 pointless calls.
The girl answering the phone at a house is not necessarily a Domme and more commonly is not.. often it is a hired receptionist being paid anywhere from minimum wage to $15 an hour off the books.
