I will have to put in my experience with a prodomme
This particular lady could have one session with a client, and would write down everything, and have a " plan" on her sessions with him, based on his laundry list, then catered to her style. She was incredible at pulling out "information" that made her incredibly astute with most of her stable.
Of course all prodommes/fin dommes/in call girls are not created "equal"
Personal attitude comes into it.

BTW, I was being silly, because as Godess2UseYouHard noted, "Guys that have the 'anyone will do' attitude often go for the cheapest, most accomodating... often an escort in a bad pvc teddy."

Being an independent contractor or consultant is a tough job no matter how you look at it. Anybody can claim to be a pro, but that doesn't make her/him one. In any business, reputation and delivering on the goods is everything; word of mouth can make you or break you. Getting back to ProDommes, it really does take a special kind of businesswoman to deal with all sorts of clients, to be attuned to their needs without "selling out" to unreasonable market-driven demands. (Somebody always wants to get something for nothing.) There's a delicate balance between holding your own and turning a profit, because in order to grow your business successfully, the soundest strategy to have is to overdeliver on providing a quality product and/or services, and to take good care of loyal repeat customers.

About as well as any other whore. I guess it depends on the fiscal attributes of your target demographic and whether you're able to find and keep said suckers.

As a business owner, I cannot disagree on that in any way:) And my bad for not seeing the "silly" re reading it made sense...

For many it is. True. I have one friend who owns her home, leases a Lexus, put her kid through private schools, and now a University (commuter) Depends on her marketing skills I think.

I think it depends on a ton of factors, marketing is one of them, but then there is location and skills, pretty much like in any other business.

There's a relatively high number of guys who are into "fluff domination with extras" so yes, somebody who is not too bothered with learning a skill set can at first possibly earn well, however those guys are usually fickle and always looking for the next thing and maybe the reason why so many relatively young women drift in and out of commercial BDSM because they first earn well and then the guys sort of drift off to the next new one. As a rule of thumb, the guys who expect a certain skill set that's beyond a mild spanking, tend to be the most loyal clients, usually the guys venturing into skilled edge play prefer to build a relationship that is based on trust. A lot of them have clothing fetishes, so a substantial fetish wardrobe is a must just like tools.

And - as un-PC as it is - looks also play quite a role, you can't ever skip the waxing or the pedicure, got to watch your figure, diet, gym, etc. I've seen women losing a lot of clients just because they cut their hair or changed their hair colour. I would guess the more rural your area is, the more liberty you have to do whatever you like, if you're the only game in town, so to speak, but if you're in a big city, there is some competition and you got to keep up with it, advertise, have new toys, new wardrobe, new skills...

Very much also depends on how the woman individually feels about it, my longest dungeon stint was 3 months every day, as the headmistress was away due to family problems, I can tell you after those 3 months being in the dungeon every day, I was starting to feel odd, there wasn't enough balance in my life and the atmosphere in a dungeon is quite peculiar...

I had my first Pro-Domme experience from Backpage.
She charges $300 Incall and $400 Outcall. She was running an Easter Special at $100 off for either.
I had her come to my place and she looked pretty much like her pictures.
Dressed average - jeans, tennis shoes and shirt. Nothing fancy.
She said her Incall is at her apartment but doesn't like seeing clients there because it's always a mess.

It was a nice experience. She said she sees about 20 customers a week. Wow, at least $6,000 a week!
She only advertises on Backpage.

But I wonder if she is telling me the truth. If she is, then wouldn't more women do it?

I edited this post to limit it to Backpage Pro-Dommes. I realize other Pro-Dommes rent a dungeon, dress up, which all can be very expensive.

So these "Pro-Dommes" who advertise on Backpage - the ones who go to your house - and charge $400. You do believe some of them are successful and do see 20 clients a week? Or even if they see 2 clients a week... they make more than most people who work 40 hour jobs

As others have commented along the lines of who gives a flying fuck, why do you care? Are you planning on going into the pimping business?

There are many professions which have a short shelf life. Porn acting is one of them, so is modeling. You get what the market can bear for whatever goodies you have to offer, and then you get out.

@MissKatya, unless you picked up on something I missed, I don't believe OP is the collegiate starbucks dude. He did, however, slip into using a very similar font color and size in his Post#13 that a certain male switch (age 45 instead of 40) in Orange County (vice San Diego) uses, who goes by M***R****.
