hey, you know you didn't post an ad on Eccie, right? You posted on BP. What, exactly, do you think the clientele of BP is interested in? The page after page of emoticons and $40 specials didn't maybe make you wonder if you weren't advertising in the bargain bin? OF COURSE the people contacting you were bargain hunters, that is the point of the site. You are acting like you went to Walmart and are surprised someone was shopping in their pajamas. And if there was ever a good analogy, Backpage is the Walmart of the hobby.
Looking back, I see an ad that Simone posted mentioning that she would be here with the cajun queen. Which tells me what? There are no pics, no details, no rates, not even dates for when you are here.
No doubt we are a hit or miss town, but...is there no ownership on this one?

Well stated sir. I have seen a wide range of women, both in appearance and skill level, succeed nicely in the p4p world. It's really just like any other business. A lady just has to know her market and advertise there. Some of the basics (in my view):
1) Learn what makes your successful dates work. Is it your appearance, skill set, 'menu', fetish/kink offerings, personality,...
2) Sell what works for you! If you are 5'8" and what 300 lbs don't try to tell us that your overall beauty is why we should see you. Advertise yourself to the men who love bbw's! If you are covered with tats don't tell us your flawless skin is what makes you beautiful. Seek out guys who like a unique appearance/approach to life!
3) When you travel, study the areas you are going to and price/sell yourself for THAT market! If your skills/pricing don't fit that market, don't go there. Pre-advertise & pre-book before traveling. Why any lady would travel somewhere without knowing that, at least her expenses, will be covered before leaving home is beyond me.
4) Do your very best to make every date memorable to your client. You want to stand out from those he has seen before!
5) In the age of the internet it is very easy to research and understand what is working out here. Most sites like this one have areas that will give you a lot more of the basics than what I am offering here. Study them!!
*So what do I know? Well, I've been in the hobby for about 10 years and it really is quite easy to tell which ladies are successful and why. Here's proof:
I met a young lady a few months ago who was new to the business who rocked my world right out of the gate. I asked her how she learned to be so skilled and how to present herself. She told me that she didn't know anyone personally who is or was a provider. She just studied the escorting business for a few months before diving into the pool.
She has done NO advertising since her first few weeks and has yet to update her website (Tip: Have a web site!) since the day she put it up. I asked her why? She told me she is still getting more calls than she can handle 3 months later! Her rate is slightly higher than average in my market and she is getting ready to bump it up to keep out the low-ballers. She's loving the freedom escorting has given her!
She makes it clear to me on every date (4 so far) that she will do her best to give me whatever experience I want. I had to tell her that it's ok if she has any particular desires as well. I want to make damn sure I keep HER happy as well!
Rumors we all hear them but do we listen?
