Most of my clients, especially in the Midland/Odessa area, come from BP. I might see a few from P411 and ECCIE but if I want to make my trip to the area worth my time BP is necessary. My daily expenses in the area are much higher than almost anywhere else I travel. A decent 2 star room (nothing fancy, but someplace clean and safe that's not pimp-filled shithole like the Days Inn, Motel 6, Studio 6. Motel One, etc.) average about $200 per night, with my AAA discount. The 2 1/2-3 star hotels run about $250-300+ a night PLUS taxes. By the time I add in an average of $30 a day for food , $35 a day for my rental car, and $10 a day for advertising that brings my grand total to $275 a day just to break even and that's not even factoring in the price of gas to cover an 8 hour drive to and from the area which brings the total closer to $300 a day for expenses.
There are plenty of good clients on BP that have either never heard of ECCIE or P411 or simply don't wish to join either site for various reasons. You just have to weed through a lot of BS and know how to screen in some alternative ways. The majority of my very good clients in most areas that I travel to have been newbies that found me on BP.
