Hey Cowgirl, I have a little advice for you that I think will help you and help your business. Watch the movie "The Boiler Room"
Great movie about how to portray yourself in business. A key phrase is "ACT AS IF"
If you "act as if" you are the best thing blowing on this site you will draw people to you. I know that you have some troubles with the incall and the car and such. But portray yourself as really having it together. If you keep that drama to yourself and act positive, your problems will fix themselves, I promise.
You don't see Pepsi commercials that say "please buy our product, we Really need the money! " they portray themselves as being the best motherfucking soft drink out there.
Say you were wanting to buy a house. Would you go to a realtor that is always bitching about not having any business.? Of course not. You would think he doesn't have any business because he must suck at it. The same principal applies here. Be respectful and not stuck up but have confidence in yourself. No one will have confidence that you are going to be a fun date if all they hear is how bad you need the money. Hobbyist ultimately Wanna have fun and it's hard to have fun if they think that you are only in it for the money
Once you get the client, make sure that you are providing some "truth in advertising" and rock his world. They will return.
The good ones fake it. The great ones really love it. There is a huge difference.
Knock yourself out funguy. I agree with you, you need to show you are having it together and make your clients think they are the one and go above and beyond to make this person want to return. Don't act desperate showing that anything goes, take command of the session and make it something that they will remember. Don't ask, act upon and the client show follow your lead or follow the client's lead and go with the flow. If something makes you uncomfortable, be subtle in telling your client what it is. Just my advice. Good luck
Could I use the old handle link on my new profile. I have asked a request from the mods but have yet to get a answer back. I have plenty reviews on it and I need it so maybe I will start having business. At this rate no appointments I'm going crazy
There is no safe definition of "safe" in the hobby. You usually can't screen clients from BP like you can on ECCIE and P411, but your message will be reaching a larger pool of potential clients.
That is a subjective question. For the girl that does her due diligence (great screening practices) it can be relatively safe.
The same for guys that troll BP.
There is a much higher level of risk, in my opinion, in using backpage. I am not gambler and I do not entertain unmeasured risk.
So with said, use your fellow providers as resources, there are many that play here, backpage, TheEroticReview and probably a couple of other places.
You could also troll the bars, there is always some guy in a bar wishing he was getting laid.
There is also a lady or two on here that has used this practice when business is slow.
Liken your job to fishing - cast your bait in the most likely spot. No bites... either change bait or tactics then try a new spot in that order. A professional fisherman fishes not just to eat but to survive and eventually profit.
Get out of the motel/car cause you can't fish there, find someplace you can.
