Newbie here with a question about Review Specials

I forgot, pictures in reviews helps a lot. As long as a review has decent pictures from the session, action shots or even plain nude shots, and ape could write the review and it'll still get a lot of views. Whoever writes the review just needs to remember to put "PICS IN ROS" in the title. Depending on your comfort level.

I probably should have proofread my first post..ugh.

I usually write the reviews as soon as i get home while its still fresh in my head. Dont see why you wouldnt write a review (especially if you accept a RS) they just help everyone out, on both sides. Originally Posted by bobo1cg

Another way to do it is to offer a discount on the next session to make sure you both are getting what y'all want. Originally Posted by Blueeyedginger

if you're gonna offer a special, either ...
make it unconditional.
or make it conditional on a review of a somewhat recent previous session.




carmen, i'm kinda surprised that your girlfriends didnt offer you some good advice on this aspect of providing.

Some of the guys with high review counts want free sessions for reviews. Shep3.0 likes to brag that he's offered free sessions for his services because a review from him will boost a lady's business. Just keep in mind the some reviewers have the same group of guys commenting on each one of their reviews driving up the comment count and keep their reviews on the first page of the Independent review session, inflating the number of views. If you click on their reviews, the pattern is obvious. In exchange you'll get a review straight that reads like it was written straight out of 18 year-olds fantasy. There's a few others like daaaaaman and his trademark gimmick of FUCK YA!!!!!!!!! SLUTS UNITED!!!!!!! which is as fresh as jokes about someone's taint. But he gets views.

If you do review specials, try to make sure you get what you feel is appropriate value in return be it money, or publicity. Keep in mind that some guys gloss up reviews and write hardcover porn fantasies to make themselves look good for other hobbyists. Other hobbyists that read those reviews and will expect the same level of service, fair or unfair. That has come back to bite a lot of new providers in the ass when subsequent reviews don't measure up to the fantasy written by a "well respected member". They end up getting a "No" review, or multiple "No" reviews. Of course some of that is on the provider as well. Good luck and be careful. Originally Posted by Roger.Smith

If he says a review from or knowing him will get you business then run. As was mentioned, these reviews read perfectly and the same followers comment to keep them high in the count...that's not necessarily leading to more business, just comments from their cronies, which like I mentioned, can actually drive away business.

Only thing I disagree with are the taint comments, never gets old to me.

Back to the reviews, daaaaaman actually takes good pics. I'll give him props for that, but his reviews read like they were written by a 7th grader. It'll be some thing like:

I plowed her twat with my rock hard cock. Then I took it out and shoved it down her throat and she swallowed my kids!!!! FUCK YA!!!! FUCK YA!!!! FUCK YA!!!!FUCK YA!!!!FUCK YA!!!! FUCK YA!!!!
I read one of his reviews for the first time this week, and I actually said, "Oh my god, shut the fuck up" to my computer screen. But he gets views, so it's up to new providers to decide if give a guy freebie to write an ad. But like you said most of the comments come from a circle of friends, and the reviews get a lot of views because they stay on Page 1 of Independent reviews. How much value does a comment like, "You did it again!!!" add? I guess a lot if the review stays on Page 1.

Here are my 2 cents as a newb to this site but with some experience in the hobby: I write reviews in general for memorable encounters and leave some of the exploits and saucy details out... They never sound as good as it was in reality... Or maybe I am lucky.... I usually do not write reviews for my ATFs, since I am a selfish SOB, but make exceptions if they ask me and business is slow. I would suggest you keep asking for reviews that are less graphic and in good taste. It will screen out the pervs. And will bring you better paying crowd as TheEccie214 wrote...work on a top notch showcase with a lot of info in good English and nice images. As said, read previous reviews written by your guest and you will get a similar one if the service is up to expectations. Then mention at the end, after the payment you would not mind a nicely written, coherent, review similar in tone and style to the one he wrote before which you should be able to refer to specifically. If you offer a discount, just offer it because you like a customer and he will reciprocate with a nice review, in general, when asked, if he has the needed writing skills and mind set which you already researched. Do not link the two as incentives. Find who your competition is and set price accordingly. It is tough to start any business, just make sure you do not get too greedy and less safe. Safety is the most important consideration for you! Do screen and do homework/research on previous reviews! Best wishes!

The OP has one review, but it's from a new member whose only post is that review. Guys will be skeptical. But she's young, blonde, and a spinner; so if she provides the services in that review at $250, she could do okay in Dallas.

It's great to read the guys reviews, well no, no it's not.....LOL, but not sure if she has access to the powder room just yet, so she may not have ROS access either, nor will she be likely to. Ya know? You can only glean the least of gents reviews if all you can see is that which is minimally provided for those of us without it.

It's ok to get lots of attention, but not if it subjects ya to some people you prefer not to waste time on. Most guys here could care less how they affect us or even some, bless their hearts, they just don't realize what it is they do. I get that!

Hey, I have no say in the matter and who would listen to what a whore has to say anyway? Not many do, even those who partake. Go figure.....

Thanks to gents who do....we are grateful, very grateful....for YOU. If you're "that gent", ya know it. It is what it is. Thank you for asking that question.

I wouldn't offer review specials. Since you're new, you're going to have a lot of business because guys are going to wish to check you out.

Also, so many men will say that they're going to write a review and then, they do not. I don't blame them, though. Sometimes, things come up, guys get busy. Forget.

The reviews will come in time. Just do the best that you can. Price yourself at your personal comfort zone and the other stuff will fall into place.

Stand tall. If you post on topics, say in Dallas coed, that will generally cause the men who read the topics to consider seeing you. Advertise. Develop your online personae.

And good luck. Welcome to the demimonde.

Sincerely,
Elisabeth

I don't live on DFW and from my observation of DFW eccie,,,, there are ladies who give freebies or discounts to get reviews.. Once you get some reviews, the posse of that client who got freebie or discount will bump your review to be on top,,, when this happens, u will be busy...but never get on bad side of posse of clients or providers...
