Considering MOST ladies are rooting for decriminalization of sex work....

I'd say it IS empowering and necessary for us, as sex workers, to write about what we do & go through. Both the positives and the negatives.  

There is a lot Sex Workers do agree upon, regardless of profession. Once of which, is we should be able to have sex with whomever we please, regardless of the reason.

Speaking openly about our struggles and successes brings more awareness to us, our concerns (or lack thereof), our passions...  

 
Like homosexyality, the more it's put out there, the more normal it will be, the more accepted it is. Cancer, awareness was needed before cures started being developed.

Also, alot of escorts need an outlet that can be considered non-judgemental. People within the hobby will be more understanding of her, and her blogs; since you say these blogs are on their personal Professional web pages.

I don't blog but I have been curious how much clients actually pay attention to it. Can't wait to hear the feedback!

If I book I might look at the rest before the date.  Otherwise, not.

Not trying to score points, but some of the additional info is useful.  I may not care to see you in exotic places that you go to compliment of my dime, but how to handle the donation and initial meeting protocol is important.  I've done this enough, but meeting someone new is still somewhat nervous and exciting.  Knowing how you like to handle the basics is helpful for me, and usually sets a better tone for the meeting.

But yes, pics and rates are always first!

the about page, pictures and rates. If I am interested in seeing her I look at the blog. I need to feel there is a connection to see a provider. I don't want to be with a woman for an hour or more if I don't like who they are - but hey that's just me.  

It's very rare that I read more than a paragraph or two of a blog attached to a girls website.  

As for the hookers that brag about their empowerment and about "making a killing" it has the opposite effect on me and is much more likely to make me pass on them rather than booking

..Since it really doesn't provide me with the type of info that I seek.

I'd like to get a sense of who she is and sometimes her blog provides it.  I know what works for me and what doesn't and sometimes they are honest enough in their writing to confirm my impression.

If they Twitter,.histogram, post here.I'm going to check it out.

Someone catches my eye because of what they post on TER. Then I look at the photos. Still interested? Then I try to figure out their personality and eventually go through the reviews. If I am that much enamored to see her, I will read the whole site. I even do this beyond scheduling a provider, such as for doubles.  

I am "sort of twittering" about things. I haven't decided how I feel on having a Hobby twitter. I like fucking around and saying whatever I feel like. Few know who I am and that is the way I like it. I may make a twitter account for the Hobby. I just do a lot of thinking before I decide. Right now mine is personal but a few figured it out.

It helps me to know something about the provider's personality to do so.

I also like to read some providers' blogs.  Some providers are very good writers, so it is not only something that helps me to understand them, but is also entertaining.

Not too many discuss their work at length.  Most like to comment on their personal lives, or items related to current events or culture.  Those that do mention their work, and careful not to be explicit enough that the blog could be used as evidence of any crime.  If I want explicit, I'll just read their reviews.

I read and notice everything. All is part of my choice.

Posts, blogs and tweets give important clues to personality, sense of humor, attitudes, etc..

It takes more than great tits.

...as I'm a ravenous researcher. I'll look at web sites, read blogs, discussion board presence, and any other input I can come up with to see if I'd be compatible with a provider. I generally book longer appointments (2 hours to overnights) and I want to have a higher percentage of probability that we'll get along.

Granted, one never knows the vagaries of chemistry and attraction -- I was recently sitting in my car outside of an outcall waiting for the callback that all was good and to come on up for a duo appointment. There were butterflies in my stomach but that was 98% excitement, because I'd done my research and was as fully prepared and confident that I'd made the right choice.

Turns out we had an awesome time.

"Few know who I am and that is the way I like it." I agree with her sentiment and I keep a very low electronic profile. Separate work phone, separate personal phone and separate hobby phone. NO social media accounts. I will occasionally talk to a provider about some aspect of my personal life but that's only after we've known each other for a while. I also keep personal details out of the discussion.

1) Some sites, both the blogs and the rest of the content, are funny or well written.  It's like classic Playboy-- good articles surrounded by beautiful, often undressed providers  

2) When I meet a provider, I do it as much for the chance to hear and be heard, because for me what's lacking in my civilian life is not just the sex I want but also the engagement I crave.  I like to book 2-3 hours, which may cost well over $1,000; I need to be as sure as possible that I'm going to enjoy that level of spending.  The content of a website is as accurate a predictor of success in the latter as the pictures are for the former.

3) The providers I want to meet present an image of exclusivity, through their words and their rates (and that follows through to meeting them; if you are well behaved then you'll never get rushed out the door because you're probably the only appointment of the day).  They're also stunningly beautiful, and they're out there marketing, so I figure they must get many emails each day asking to meet.  By learning more about them I can write better introductory emails and hopefully break through the clutter and monotony.  Based on the responses I get, it usually works.

The last time I checked your website I was very impressed--you had pictures up that not only featured your beauty but that also shed some light on what kind of person you might be to talk to (they were what I'd call your Andrews Sisters portfolio).  Frankly I was quite taken and interested enough to exchange a few DMs with you but I didn't try hard enough and I think we just ended up in a holding pattern.  I'll try again!

It gives me a better sense of the person I'll potentially be meeting, and a lot of the providers I'm interested in do write well and have something interesting to say.

It may seem to be counterintuitive to blog or tweet about explicit and illegal things but let's face it...If you advertise anywhere LE will know what you are up to.  LE has the ability to catch each and every one of us but they don't have the resources to.  They are going to go for the low hanging fruit or the big fish (agencies) to further some politician's career.  There are exceptions of course but LE only seems to want to do stings for political reasons or gain access into the drug trade.

Having a nice site helps add an air of legitimacy.   Though I expect like most websites, they go mostly unread.  

I truly read everything on a provider's website. Blog included, twitter, etc... anything and any link provided.

Is it a Big Part of booking? Yes and no. If it is simply most of the same constantly repeated elsewhere, it can sway me away at times regardless of pics, etc... I try and get some sort of feel for who the person is, though knowingly that is also limited to a degree, but still... You can get some kind of gauge of possible interest beyond a photo.  

I have seen some twitter accounts that are more than the same advertisements, where a provider actually talks about Other things in life. Of course most will have something regarding the industry in there somewhere at times, some all the time, but others will tweet as who they really are, normal people. It's all about finding a Fit. Even reviews truly cannot provide that for each individual.  

I really take in all aspect of reviews here. Especially intrigued by those who score so High for two, then mid range-low, etc... I find those interesting the most because I then follow every material available to see what I may find that someone didn't like. "This part isn't phrased well at all so early in the morn, but I hope it is somewhat understandable.  

It's not only everything on a website, but for those who contribute to the boards here, it's also their posts and replies as well. I do give benefit of the doubt when it comes to words behind a keyboard not coming out as they may seem.

"Some blogs are explicit to the point of admission of doing something that in this country is still regarded as illegal."
It gives the girls a Voice and that Voice, collectively, is what is going to make a CHANGE in this country.

 "I understand it may make some providers feel empowered by writing about being their own boss and making a killing."
These girls are tired of crawling around in the shadows, being spit on, because society Fears what they KNOW.

 "I wonder to what extent that could hurt a provider if one day LE comes across the provider's website. "
In most counties, there still needs to be EVIDENCE of a CRIME, to get a conviction of wrong doing by a jury.

Fortunately, we still have the First Amendment which protects Freedom of Speech.

The girls are gathering Momentum by talking/writing.
These actions have to occur, for CHANGE to happen.

sasha2cute,  talk about "explicit"  ,,,, have you read any of the reviews?
I used to also think they were risky.  
Meh~ not anymore.  I write the filthiest nastiest sexiest thoughts a person can come up with and put them on my site.

I have a blog, and a twitter. I suck at twitter, and what I post in my blog are mostly random goofy musings, with a bit of business in there, like my newsletter, new pics, my corny jokes lol etc.  

Im not $20 delivery pizza...Im an actual human being and this is a people business so yeah, it makes sense that there are some guys who do like to know who it is they are about to spend time with and enjoy getting to know me, see what we have in common, etc.  and like to see where Ive been and what Im up to.  

On the flip, I just found out that a guy I have had many dates with has never been to my website.  He initially emailed me through an ad and never went any further than that. He said he never looks at websites if price and contact info is already in the ad.  Hes never treated me like just a thing hes paying for like a pizza, he likes knowing Im doing okay and always have interesting convos when we're together.

Anyway, everyone is different, there are providers who are very outspoken, others who are more low key...there are guys who like to do their research and / or like to know who it is they are spending time with, others who just want to see pics, know how to book and how much. Some who only want to think of you when they see you, others who are interested and enjoy reading a thought provoking blog post or quick random musings on Twitter.

Thats the beauty of this biz, there really is something for everyones tastes, personality and business style.

..i check every page of a provider i want to see...a sensual description and amazing pics are the things i look for in a website...i'm trending away from those with blogs etc...i want to keep the women who im seeing private...

I write a blog and most gentlemen who seek me out always mention how they love my blog and writing.. If you are asking for a higher donation, you have to provide more than a body. They want something different, something special. Intelligence, sensuality, being genuine, those are qualities that sophisticated men want. They can get the wham/bam experience, but don't want just that. A blog, media outlet where you share your thoughts will help them discern those traits.

fit for a date; i.e. if there will be some chemistry. There needs to be some sort of connection in order to have an outstanding  time. I have found that if I do my due diligence in selecting my playmate, we will have a fabulous time.    

I usually look at three pages.  The first and most important is the pictures page, this is by far the most important factor in deciding whether to see an escort.  The second is the donation page to see if she is in my price range.  I also keep her pictures in mind while reading the donation page and make a mental note whether I feel her attractiveness warrants the required donation.  The last page is the etiquette page (if I decide to book her) to see if she has any out of the ordinary instructions.  However, if her website is too full of unnecessary information I will pass her by based on that.  Too much information leads me to believe she may cause drama.  A blog is ok but it's probably better if it is linked to another website.  I probably will not read any of the blog unless I decide to book her.  Even then I only skim it to get an idea of how she thinks.  I can't say blog would ever be make me want to book a lady I otherwise would not, but it could be used to put an escort on my do not see list.  I also will pass on most escorts under 25.  I have seen two escorts under that age (both were higher than 9/9 average) and both seemed like they could cause drama.

Yes, Sasha, I've read and enjoyed the blogs on your site.  But I think we both already knew that I have a high level of interest in you.
