I am not new to escorting but I am new to the internet escorting community. Most of my clients I met in strip clubs and word of mouth. I decided to go full time escorting and I started with one of those free escort design sites to make my presence known. I have a lot of modeling experience so I can't use any of my professional pictures and blurring the face without people knowing who I am because they have seen the clear photo and setting elsewhere. I am kinda well known on the internet and in my city. My rates are somewhat high and well worth it. My question is, how likely am I to get clients willing to pay for my rates with a free template website? It's not bad looking but its also not WOW looking....I noticed high end escorts have websites that look straight out of Vogue. Is it worth paying the thousands of dollars to get all of that glitz and glam? I am willing to private message anyone willing to check it out and give me advice on it. Thanks.
when you fail to state your location.
Providing has the same important feature as real estate:
"Location.....Location.....Location."
My location was already on the site and I state my location in the ads I put up
One thing to think about is that the free site does not display well with some browsers -- TOR for instances -- or for those with browsers limited for protection. A good web developer will be able to provide a presence that will look good to all.
you could benefit from having a nice website - but it doesn't need to be expensive
"My question is, how likely am I to get clients willing to pay for my rates with a free template website?"
Once you get a few positive reviews from "known and established" reviewers, clients may be willing to give you a try. The free template website doesn't bother me. Your pictures aren't very clear or high quality. You can still blur identifying features and have high quality pics that give a better idea of what you look like.
"Is it worth paying the thousands of dollars to get all of that glitz and glam?"
It makes you look more professional, but it's not really required if you have great reviews, photos, and a following.
For example, this provider has a template website and is doing just fine: https://www.theeroticreview.com/reviews/show.asp?id=291309
You mentioned that you've been escorting for awhile. If any of your clients are on TER, you can ask them to write you a review to get the ball rolling.
Thank You so much for the feedback. Especially regarding the photos. Will work on that.

Took your advice and added a little more pics...am I still being too paranoid? lol
Your website looks good. Pop ups are annoying, but so many escorts have these type of sites everybody is familiar with the pop ups. You can get a free website or very affordable on Wix.com. I was happy with my Wix.com website and I like being able to maintain it myself. It doesn't show up in the right order on a smart phone though. Maybe I have too much on one page, I don't know.
Once you get a few reviews, take a look at the top 100 list for your city or other cities that are close by. Keep an eye on what other ladies are charging who have similar reviews. You might want to start off cheaper and increase your rates as you get good reviews that support whatever your rates are.
I think you're going to love full-time escorting! It can be a great career for a really long time if you take care of yourself.
Visit my website and scroll to the bottom of my first page to see links to ads on different sites. You might want to play some ads on some of those websites. You can also Google "escorts in (your city)" to find other websites you can post ads on.
Do you know how to screen? If you don't screen your clients you're going to deal with a no-show rate of more than 50% not to mention it's not safe for you. You can read the attic it in screening pages on my website to learn more about screening.
Good luck!

a template website will work but you need to get some better pics. The 4 pics that are on your site do not show enough for a hobbyist to get an idea of your physical stature. I realize you list some stats on your website but that is not enough. You need at least 1 or 2 pics that show you head to toe, some lingerie shots, casual dress, etc. In other words--a variety of photos. Most hobbyists don't care if you blur your face or use long hair over your face or your face turned, etc.
Regarding rates: How does your rate compare to other providers in your locale (LV); especially to ladies who are new to TER? I am not familiar with the rate structure there although I know the rates are higher there than say St. Louis, Atlanta, or other less tourist/convention destinations. Without reviews, how is a hobbyist to know you have been in this biz for a while?
Good luck to you.
Hell thank you so much for you feedback. I added more photos, if you click on the gallery, I have full body shots. Let me know what you think. I may still be being too paranoid about being IDed
Without reviews or be a member of a verification service, there's no way for me to know if I am walking into some kind of setup.
You are correct. I have to somehow get people to vouch for me. Even P411 requires verification and as someone new to the internet, it's my homework to get someone to vouch for me.
Hundreds, maybe.
But a lot of people use mainstream templates, like Wix and Squarespace. You can build a site yourself, with minimal investment (domain name, and maybe a few add-ons). Some templates cost money, but there are likely some nice ones in the $50-150 range. Wordpress is somewhat similar, although you might need someone with technical expertise to help you set it up initially (not sure, it's been a while since I've used WordPress).
I think that high-quality photos are much more important than a slick website, though...
I looked up some escort friendly photographers, they were priced up there. Saw a package for $1200
I am truly thankful for the feedback...I posted more pics, let me know what you guys think
The added pictures will help I don't think you can have too many pictures. Getting your first review will no doubt help to create more interest.
As far as your rate? Not knowing what the average rate is in Vegas. If you are starting at the higher end of the scale you could find that clients may look at seeing a well established provider going in what to expect or seeing you with a possible not so pleasant encounter?
Good luck, hopefully it works out great for you
For what it's worth, at first glance I would think too good to be true. Maybe better quality pic/more high resolution would help. You can also (depending how comfy you are with exposure) add a couple of selfie pics. Doing this will allow said client to compare the pics you have up now to your selfies. If selfies isn't your thing then you can try other digital means of marketing should you choose to branch out i.e. Instagram, Twitter, etc. Not that I am suggesting that you do this, but it may suffice in lieu of a more elaborate website. As far as spending thousands on a website, thats on you, with a body like that I don't think you'd need a super elaborate spread. Maybe one or two different outfits/scenarios. What you have now is good for what you want to do in your community. Word does travel amongst mongers. As a experienced hobbyist, the first thing I look for are multiple reviews. If more than one client endorses that the pics are accurate and the service is top rate then others will follow (which will justify your price point). At the end of the day all guys really want to know is when she opens the door, will it be the girl I saw in the pics or someone completely different. Smoking hot or not, if someone is using another persons pics it is a letdown because as you know men are visual in nature and what draws them to you are the images that they see on your web.
P.S. For touring purposes, my train of thought as I look for travel/touring ladies is that I would be interested in seeing you but hesitant because of the price point with no reviews.
Hope this helps
Thank You so much for you feedback...The photos are 100000% me but I will consider your selfie idea.... Also, I stated on my site that I am willing to send pictures to verify it is me. I understand your price point concerns....I read around the board and I get mixed responses about whether or not it is against the rules to give TER members a discount...I am just going to go ahead and ask TER staff directly....another thing, should I offer like a meet and greet or something? Just to show it is worth it? Or maybe like a video chat greet? Thank you for the body compliment btw.
I'm not aware of any rules against discounts for TER members, or even discounts for reviews. Discounts for good reviews are a no-no, but so long as there's no quid pro quo, I think you're fine.
By the way,your pictures look nice and I'd be fine with them so long as there were reviews to go with them. As it is, like someone said above I'd be thinking "too good to be true." Then again, I have "taken one for the team" on less information before.
Regarding websites, they don't matter to me. I've seen ladies with crappier websites, and ladies with no website. There may be an expectation with higher priced providers that they have higher class websites, I wouldn't know. I don't know where your price falls in your location. Over here you'd be top of the line, but maybe where you are it's mid-market.
So i'll try to answer as much as I can while maintaining PC on this board. First things first, get VIP lol. Not saying that you have to or you should give discounts, some use it as a tool to get their clientele base up, being that you are popular in your area it may or it may not affect you one bit. I would say that it is most likely against the rules to advertise discounts to TER members, but does it happen, I suppose. Do girls give discounts to P411 members, Yes. So it is what it is. Awesome that you are willing to alleviate clients fears by sending a pic or two and or video chat to verify! I'd say be careful as some guys just like to collect pics. Offering a meet and greet, not really up my alley. I will say that you should probably refer to a provider who knows the game a little better. Speaking from a client standpoint, once I know the pics, which look great, are real and what to expect from the service, thats really all I need to confirm i want to see you.
...It's not OK to offer discounts or anything of value for Good reviews. I've suggested many times (others have as well) for providers such as the OP to offer a one time discount to TER members. Admin has never stated offering discounts to TER members isn't acceptable.
When he leaves the session she can simply say, Please feel free to write a review. Nothing else need be said.
Thank you

I wouldn't pay someone thousands to make a website, mostly because I want control of it. I want to be able to make changes as necessary, instead of having to ask someone else to do it (and pay them to do it). And if you pay someone else to make you one, they're going to use a template anyway (hence all the Veda escort sites, which cost big bucks but look exactly alike, minus variations in color and squiggly/scroll-y frames around the content).
No one looks at a website and says, "Damn, her website looks really expensive. She must be the best escort in town!" What's important is that your website represents *you* accurately, and you convey the image that will attract the type of clients you want.
Accurate pictures with good lighting go a long way, as does clear, informative text that describes who you are, what clients can expect from you, and how to reach you.
I don't know if this is allowed, so admins might remove the link (or maybe the whole comment, I don't know), but I've included a link to my site so that you can see it's NOT super fancy, but I get a lot of compliments on it because what you see is what you get: I have lots of photos and lots of info about me, so clients pretty much know what they're getting into before they even contact me. It probably turns a lot of clients off, too, but that's fine, because I'd rather that than have them be turned off when I get there because they were expecting something I'm not.

...when you reply to posts in a discussion. You are not allowed to put your website link in your post when you start the discussion.
Omg your twitter is hilarious! The bareback guy...then tried to pretend to be a provider LOL..just wow.
Anyway, you did a great job on your website! You are right about having control of your own content. I update mine every day because I would look around, get feedback and etc and add more info to it. Even your site is giving me some ideas. But yeah, I am gonna stick my freebie.
Thanks babe!!
there is a provider or hobbyist that can vouch for you.
There are some providers that only use P411 as an advertising source; no solo website.
My clients were word of mouth. Honestly, I never even heard of TER or P411 until recently. I am very new to the internet in this field. I am SO GLAD I did my research before I decided to go full time on my own. Without TER, P411, VerifyHim I'd probably be in a bad situation. I never met a client from the internet before.
