This PureVIP thing is a joke. I'm not paying a monthly fee just so I can check and see what you look like before I make an appointment! Give me a break!
Just don't understand it, there entire setup is set in motion by a visual representation of themselves. If I can't see you and your competition allows me to see them, guess where I'm going.
Please ladies, please explain how this can be a workable business model.
I can see if you have XXX photos and videos that you'd like to have a membership section, in ADDITION to having regular photos up. But, I think any lady that has a requirement of payment before you can see her regular photos probably is not going to meet you in person, she is probably just trying to make a buck that way.
I personally, am in the process of making a SECOND website with photos and VIDEOS, but it will have no effect on my regular self promotion website.
I just went to the site ( https://purevip.com/ ) to check it out.
It looks like most other escort ad sites, with links to online profiles/reviews, websites, etc...
It's not new for providers to have entirely password-protected sites (in which case I PASS!) or to have an album or two of more "explicit" content locked down. IME, most gals would permit access to those "private" galleries for clients they have seen a time or two (and perhaps still do). What PureVIP adds is the ABILITY for a provider to charge for access to her site or any pics... it is HER choice and not a requirement for advertising on PureVIP (I read the small print).
Don't get me wrong, here. I'm NOT joining another paid website. TER, P411, Date-Check, etc... Enough is enough. I'm not contacting a gal sight-unseen and requesting a password to merely access her site. I'm certainly not booking with a gal I can't see a few pics of, and there is no way in hell I'm paying to see special "explicit pics and video" - there is plenty of free porn on the inet. Yep, just like the idea of a paid "video chat" before a provider will book with you - except worse, as there is no interaction at all. Another lead balloon.
So... the marketing decision is the lady's, the choice to buy into it is mine. I know where I stand on that.
This was a new "safety" feature that was automatically added my website and I am sure many others without our permission. I am assuming once other providers realize that their pictures are blocked they will correct it as I did.
I believe this is a ploy for the webmasters to make money not us.
I'm glad you noticed and posted about it. I just went to your site tonight saw the pics were locked and moved on. I will check back again in a day or two. Good luck with getting them unlocked.
It was done by our host site admins without our permission or notification. I had NO CLUE until I went in to change something silly on my site just yesterday and when I viewed all of my pages to make sure they looked how I wanted them to, I noticed the photo albums were locked. I was irate! I would never charge anyone to view my marketing photos, and to do it without my knowledge or permission really pissed me off. I have no idea how long it's been like that until I changed it, and I was wondering why my appointment requests suddenly went wayyyyy down.
When I contacted the host site admins they tried to act like they did me a favor, because I'd get some of the "profit". Hahahaha! Oh yea, I'd much rather get $5.00 for my photos than $500.00 for a reservation...idiots.
Some girls may just still not know. So if you notice it, kindly email her.
