With all due respect I want to address something I see often. I believe many of you ladies know this but some don't. As far as marketing yourself to hobbyists, please follow a couple of best practices.  

I have an album of selfies on my site and always get compliments on them. I mean, they're not foggy mirror shots, but they are pretty grainy webcam shots from times between shoots or just when I'm feeling sexy in my bedroom. I think a wide variety of professional, (maybe a little enhanced), and self-shots are good.  

You hav a lot of demands....  When you have 50 or more reviews & not see $200 hooker then, maybe someone will care but til then stick to what you know-getting your dick sucked & leave the marketing/advertising for the providers.

agreed.  mix it up.....  both are best so the client can see all done up, as well as maybe more casual.  i do like both versions for sure.

Although that DID come off a bit pretentious,
I DO agree 100% with your entire post..

I like your selfies.

I do agree with the OP's 'suggestions' as far as the pics of the messy backgrounds. If a woman is going to take pics of herself with no regards to a sloppy room behind her - be glad! You just saved yourself from going to a messy incall. You want someone who thinks of the little details in her marketing because she will think of these details with YOU. (Hopefully)

to who he is or who he has seen on this very board. He has marketing standards. The ladies here can take or leave his marketing tips and desires, but don't confuse your disdain for his advice as him being new to the scene. He isn't by any means and doesn't need 50 reviews to prove anything. He's more than experienced. Trust that. Lo

I will try and take some of your advice.    

Josephine, ignore that advice.  I much prefer your selfies.  They show the real you.  I saw one of you leaning into the camera, fully clothed, and I thought it was incredibly sexy.

believe a key element of marketing is appropriate follow-up with clients. When a client requests a specific time and date for a get together along with references/verification information, I think they deserve a response. Even a short, sorry I can't make it, would suffice. I know it's my loss in some situations but I never ask again if I get no response whatsoever

I've gone back to using my selfies a little more in my ads, so I definitely know the value of them, haha. I think the hype with photos is overdone, to be honest. I don't edit even my professional photos because accurate representation is something men here seem to complain about a lot.  

And I bet all the tabs would be torn off in under 30 minutes!
I mean that in the most respectful way!

Do you know how much all this advertising costs! I'm back from some off time and I am floored by the prices of pro pics and ads on reputable sites. We're talking $1500-$2000 of the bat which is a bitch to someone starting out/starting over. Some are doing the best they can. However for a certain price brackets you gotta either deal with what you got or save up your coins in the mean time, but a great website doesn't mean a great experience either. Its a toss up either way. I prefer selfies because its the real deal and free! But when I can, I will do my own site. Good advice, just not realistic for all. ^_^)

who needs a web site?

1st--Your photos are great and the selfies are tasteful so also great.  
2cnd--I DO have higher standards and won't go cheap. This is why I made those comments on the post.
3rd--I see where you are coming from with protentious but it wasn't meant to be that way.

Thanks for that. I actually do A LOT of research and don't see a lot of different people but I have been at this a little more than a week or two. Advice is just that. People can take it or leave it and no one is the wiser. Thanks for being one of those who took a mature approach to what should be a harmless opinion.
