Advice
1. I don't necessarily buy into the notion that you need to either drop your rates or change your service level. With other things taken care of-- you can still charge what you charge and offer what you offer... having said that...
2. Pics. If you want to charge a premium rate for your service level, then you need to invest in some good pictures. This is a must if you are trying to play above what the general market will carry.
3. Attitude. You can have an opinion and you can disagree with people all day long. That's not the problem. The problem is in your approach. When you snap back it makes you look unstable, bitchy, and uneducated. Not exactly a way to draw quality clients your way-- nor receive advice from the ladies who have something of substance to offer.
PS... the skin color of MsMarieLuscious has no bearing on whether or not she has to support your attitude. She does quite well in the community and a smart woman would listen to what she has to say.
