Ladies, if you, like me, were afraid to change your rates due to the fear of badmouthing from the gents, don't be. Really, what is the worst they can do? The fact is that most of the loudest posters have probably never seen you and probably never will.

Ladies, this is the best advice you can ever get from a fellow provider.
Whispers is a perfect example of a loud poster that does not spend $ on "advertising providers" .
Obviously, what he does spend, is the majority of his day on eccie complaining about providers, threADDS, rates, etc and at the same time admitting he will not spend $ on providers regardless.
I do not know how to do the quote thing & do not feel like figuring it out at this moment.
Whispers said:
"It is a knee jerk reaction by ladies not properly understanding the market and trying to raise rates to replace lost revenue. I imagine they will have additional problems as they realize more and more men are shopping and voting with their wallet..."
Whispers, you must have a large booty because you seem to pull a lot of information from it. Providers raise rates when they have more business than time. Providers run specials to make up lost revenue. I imagine loud posters are going to have problems when they realize they will have to use their wallet if they want their vote to be heard.
If ladies include hobbyist like whispers into their market, then I agree, they do not properly understand the market. Loud posters is not where the money is.
In Austin about
65% of hobbyist are
guests looking at the adds/reviews. Meaning
65% of a Ladies income comes from
guests not members.
A guest cannot see the BCD comments of the review. All the good, bad, big penis, exaggerated details are BCD... A guest looks at Pics, BBBJ, GFE, recommendation & Rates. They do not have the I am a "frequent poster" "well known" "my review will make you or break you" attitude. They actually expect to pay a little more than the "member hobbyist" and appreciate any sort of "special" offered by a lady. Again, these are
65% of the hobbyist in Austin.
Only
35% of a ladies income comes from eccie
members
Out of those,
90% are the
lurkers,
9% are
gentlemen/white knight posters and
1% are
loud posters (rude, disrespectful, argumentative towards providers)
.
Ladies, in the past 10 years I have seen many "whispers", men with mommy issues (which BTW are extremely more traumatizing for men than daddy issues are for females) come and go. Do not let these men make the hobby a bad experience because their opinions honestly do not matter and will not affect your business.
Today eccie might be the King hobby board in Texas and a few years ago it was aspd and we do not know who will wear the crown 5 years from now. Do not depend on the board. Depend on the hobbyist. Take care of them & they will take care of you. I promise.
