I agree with Karma that some girls can't go out and get "a real job" which by the way I really resent that statement. Providing is " a real job".

Some of the ladies here have ptsd and other mental or emotional problems that it make it very difficult to have "a real job".

We have a shelf life and knowing that, it seems we should prepare somehow for that by getting a job, going to school, saving, learning better financial habits etc.

This is where I believe some ladies hurt their business......
Being "around" a long time..... Having a board presence and participating for a long time can certainly work for some businesses......... But it can also work against many and for a lot of you it probably does.....
That saying from "Start Trek"... "
Going where no man has gone before".... takes on an appeal to many guys as they have been around a while but you have to wonder if the new guy on the block doesn't look at a lady being around for 3, 4, more years and start doing some mental arithmetic and simply talk himself out of it.....
Stop for a moment..... What does the marketing statement "I have over a hundred positive reviews" tell a guy?..... Wow.. A GFE with 100 reviews? Wait a minute... That's a gal that's fucked over a hundred guys?.... What "Girl Friend" has that kind of wear and tear on her?
I've never known a busy, successful INDY that can maintain it by posting and participating regularly for years upon years.........
Some businesses decide to take some time away.... close down... remodel...
I've seen some ladies successfully pause.... create a new persona at different price points...... Use a couple of well trusted regulars to help reestablish herself and go out on the road for a short time and return to their hometown as a new provider at different rates with a different menu....
Agency girls and strippers do it all the time......
Will some of us ALWAYS know who was who and who she was before?
Yeah..... and we have a right to know.....
But for the new guy lurking that sees 2 good reviews about a gal that is new to the boards...... He just sees fresh meat and reacts....
Instead... some whose business takes a dive post more... push harder.... just dig themselves in deeper.....
If BeckyBangsAustin wears off then she might consider retiring that business model, let RebeccaHitstheRoad travel to surrounding cities on a different marketing plan and return to Austin in a couple of months to waiting arms of newbies that read the new reviews and respond to the new package.... Can't work though if you DON'T repackage yourself.....
Heck..... Look around for a reputable agency in another town and go recreate yourself there.... Then Work 2 days a week... Build that new business up with a few solid reviews and Leave that city behind to go Indy here under the new persona.....
The problem most of the ladies have with the focus of what this thread is about is that they refuse to look at them selves as a business with businesslike problems and respond in a businesslike manner to those issues.....
Every single response to this thread that has been emotional in nature, arrogant or condescending towards the males that posted is sure tell of business doomed to fail or one that already has. NO BUSINESS stays IN BUSINESS by pissing on their prospective clients for offering suggestions....
YES.... I look at you as a business...... In the end if your any good at what you do I won't think that way for a second of the hour we spend together if I choose to spend my money on you.
And in 10 years ladies.... I haven't chose to see more than one lady because of her keen wit, on board presence, how good her reviews are or how smart she was......
For many of us it is simply visual..... I look... I see... WOW!... I react....... THEN... I do some research and try to decide if the reaction is worth the investment......
Some of you have been using the same worn out pictures and poses for too long.......
It's time for a makeover.....
