Here's an idea: Help a hobbyist get his money back after he's been scamed, or he's decided to cancel after a bait and switch and he is forced by a pimp to pay a "fee."
LOL, I wonder what would happen if clients showed up with a "driver", someone who hung around the incall, "just for protection".
Lmfao! Appointment setters, ad writers, photographers, drivers, etc. I should be paying a friend of mine because I call and check in before and after so someone knows where I am at all times. I would pay for a service like that.

I think the problem with appointment setters is that they are often seen as an agency. Also they represent an organization, and become illegal.

Not sure about the phone check in service for security, Again, if the person on the other end of the conversation is aware of what the provider is doing, then that becomes a legal risk as well.

I've thought about starting an agency, but starting it off seems to be a pretty big hurdle.

Maybe a combination incall, appointment setter, security...

Well...

Even though these state they are free to use, *someone* has to be making money off of them *somehow*, or they wouldn't still be in business:

http://EscortSite.com/

http://rare-escorts.com/


[And many countless others - these were just two that came to mind immediately.]


So, providing custom website templates and hosting services specifically for escorts I think would fit your description.

Oh, and anyone that thinks this would possibly be felonious - look in the Yellow Pages under "escorts."


Last time I checked, the Yellow Pages were still being published with no legal issues...

First is the ever-popular line of Lusty Monk mustards. Ask for it by name.



And a couple popular coffees.





(The “Mystic Monk” label features the Grand Tetons in the background. That’s French for “Big Tits.”

For those who prefer the subtlety of tea, we offer this premium blend.



Last, of course, is “Old Rasputin” Russian stout. Bottoms up! (What I mean is, “Bottoms up, ladies!”)

There is a service like that. It's called "check back online". You pay a membership fee and then can use it as much as you need.
