All,
Yes I am not K-Girl but have posted here in past. What I do have common is that I face many same legal challenges K-girls face. So a little bit updates and "real life" experiences about a few recent comments here.
First the issue of RealID. This will be challenge for many K-girls. Last week I finally get my drivers license here for US. They inform me, my License only good until my Visa expire. In Arizona a drivers license is until age 65, need only renew with a current photo every 12 years. But if not a US citizen license only good until the expiration of green card or visa. Even Arizona drivers license is not qualify for RealID it is limited to expiration of Visa. I dont know if airline will accept a expired visa to fly, but without valid visa cant get a RealID. I think this will be problem for many K-Girls.
Increase Prices is just going to happen no matter what. Even without the legal challenges to advertise it is a cost of living effect. The change in legal issues just maybe will accelerate this issue. Many of you have said many k-Girl seem feel it is not worth come here or stay here base on volume and pricing. You are correct. The rate many of you are used to pay in LA market is easy to get in Korea, Taiwan, SG, HK and closer to their home. Its not the money often that drive the K-Girl to America, it is America and its endless opportunities and lifestyle that brings many.
Business is what business is. I have a calendar and offer sign up a newsletter on my website. That is what drives much of my business. That is what keeps me in touch, even a few of you are on that Newsletter. For many providers they did same or had same before the change. For those providers that still afford advertise business can be same or close to same or even better than before. But I caution that advertise is MUCH different. The requirements to advertise for the provider are much more intrusive than before. I will not name sites but a few of the the top sites require full ID, full face picture, full disclosure. Providers who will choose to refuse to do that must rely on different and often non productive methods to advertise. In my opinion there are less than 7 real decent ways to advertise that are effective. Those that dont use at least 2-3 of those methods are seeing less business. Those that choose to use 3-5 of those methods spend time and money to use them. This also drive a cost increase for some. So yes its important you keep contact method for any and all you are interested in.
Switter is becoming viable marketing tool. For me I feel it is no more than BP under different name and look. I use it, I hate it, but it has results. I see many K-girls and some I assume k-girl agency advertise on it, or trying it. i have seen at least two K-gril agency advertise Vegas on it and a few LA and Northern Cali. I need say nothing else about it
Finally i will be careful what I say but for a provider to change her profile here on TER has changed a little. I have seen what others are have to do to change their profile now. Not as easy and simple as it was and for a few it might not be possible.
I wish all of you the best luck in finding what makes you happy, just simple update on the many comments.
