How to find more clients.sad_smile

Can anyone point me in right direction for advertising. Thanks

First, what is your geographical location?

Second, do you have any reviews yet?  If not on this site, perhaps somewhere else?

 
There are Ad Boards on this site and other review/message-board sites where you can post ads for free.  Just be sure to read the rules/guidelines and ask any questions you have.  

There's always BackPage, which I find to be an excellent ROI, but I'd be careful in HOW you advertise there.  I'm including a link to one of my BP ads, to give you an idea of what I've found works for me, and  if you're interested I can give you more specific info. :-)

Eros is in most major markets, as is Slixa, although I don't personally have any experience with the latter.  

Cityvibe might work, depending on your location, as it is completely dead in some areas.  

If you would like the names of other review sites, please PM or email me because I can't post them here.  ;-)

 
Hope that helps!!

Chicago. I no longer do backpage. They do a lot of stings here. We are the city that got backpage the way it is now! I will look into others. Thanks so much.

You just have to screen really hard, that's all.

Personally, I'm far more afraid of psychos than LE stings.  But that's just me lol.  

That's one way to get your name and link out to lots of guys in your area.

Thanks. Im still trying to get the hang of this posting stuff. It keeps telling me they are ads when i ask a question on my local board.

I am going to give you some HONEST advice in as nice a way as I can, so PLEASE don't take this the wrong way and to the BSU's that are sure to chime in, SHE ASKED for advice, I am not going out of my way to criticize her.

 
I honestly think the biggest problem right now is your rate. You have decent, but very limited reviews, Three of your reviewers have reviewed only you and the fourth is hardly a well known or respected reviewer either. You are asking for $500 hr which I am sure most people will agree is "top dollar" in the market you serve, by contrast Debra services the very same market as you, is by any definition very "well reviewed" with almost 150 reviews with average scores better than yours and charges 30% less than you.

 
I would never presume to tell a woman what she should charge for her services, but you did ask repeatedly what you can do to increase business. So I am going to as nicely as I can "suggest" you might at least consider at least a temporary reduction in rates at least until you gain a bigger following.  If your phone was ringing off the hook I would never suggest you lower your rates, but by your own admission you are "pulling teeth" to get ten appointments a month. Wouldn't 20 appointments a month at say $400 hr be better than 10 at $500?

I only charge $400 for FS $500 is what they gave me because I did such a great job. I have been doing this for years with long term clients only. Never needed posted reviews. My reviews came from word of mouth in past. I also pride myself in keeping myself std free something I know $200 or lower providers do not do (I know several personally and was told people get what they pay for!) Which I feel is disheartening our job as providers is to protect our clients as well as ourselves from stds. Many of my clients are married and do not want to pass things to their wives. That tends to be a dead giveaway they are seeing someone which hurts both of us.  

 Im looking for other places to advertise for high end clients and to stay away from the stings being done on backpage. Thankfully i know people in local depts and tipped off but still backpage is not what it used to be. I also do fetish work which gives me $250 with no sex.  

 
I posted a couple times because my post had been deleted.

I have lowered a couple of times though. Does not seem to help find the right type of client. Honestly im used to long term clients who give me $5000+ a month because they do not like to share. My reviews are those people who saw me for years and no one else so they would not be posting for others. Now that I am advertising and doing public work again I always get great reviews from those who see me but then say they dont post reviews :( Just looking for other places to advertise to attract more fun business guys! Im hitting my sexual peek and no one can seem to satisfy it !

Since you're not yet very established, this shouldn't be too challenging.

 
If you are seeking to appeal to those who want a mistress-for-hire  arrangment, then actively target those gentlemen!

Put that in your ads and on your website.  Try advertising on RS-AVS and get listed on P411 too.    

Get new, very professional photos which scream "UPSCALE" and exclusive.  
You know.... evening gown, an expensive bottle of wine placed subtly in the background, high-end lingerie and pricey-looking shoes (red-bottoms optional lol) to all give the image you wish to portray.    

I'm not terribly familiar with marketing to that specific an audience, though, so hopefully someone else can chime in with real advice for you.    

Good luck!  :-)

not looking for a provider in an evening gown or going out of my way to buy an expensive bottle of wine to share with a hooker. I'll pass on mistress to hire or fake screams of upscale portrayed by pictures. However, if a hooker is charging high rates. She needs to have a flawless website/advertising and live up to expectations.

do ou have reviews? website? p411? twitter?  

I don't see anything attached to our TER ID... where are you advertising... it's hard for me to tell since we don't have that info on you

Her TER ID is on her Eros ad.  
.
ML: You should ask TER Admin to link your handle (MaggieLinn2) to your Profile (Maggie Linn TER ID: 326828) so it shows up under your name on all of your posts. That should also give you Free Limited VIP which includes PM (Private Message) privileges.  

EDIT: Also, ML: Your ad says "Looking for Prefer411 reviewers. Date- check. Ter Reviewers in order to verify me." You should REMOVE D-C from that. D-C has been compromised and is no longer safe or useful.

I have everything but a website. Do those of you who have a website feel it is worth it to spend the money?  It seems most ads link back to a website but the can say all the pertinent info. Seems like a maze that needs to be navigated not once but twice. Thoughts....

There are even free websites you can get up and running in a matter of minutes.

I had one for the better part of a year, when I first returned to the business, and it was as cookie-cutter as you can get yet it still helped!

For some men, having a personal website lends credibility and also shows she is taking this endeavor seriously.   Many ladies at the price-point you want to be have custom websites.  

 
Hope that helps! :-)

of your ads in one ad your waist is listed at 24 and the other ad at 34. The photo in the light blue green dress suggests 34 is the correct number for your waist considering your bust is listed as 36.  

Your Eros ad asks for P411 gentlemen yet you do not show a P411 ad for yourself.

Very confusing.

Yes my waist is 34. Not sure where you are seeing 24. I only advertise on Eros and Rs-avs At the moment. I know some places steal info from Eros and it is not always transferred correctly. I have tried to get on P411 they want P411 providers or members that can vouge for you. Neither of which I have because no one has seen me that is a member so they can review me. Its like a constant circle just like in the interview world. They want 3 to 5 years experience for the job yet no one wants to hire u to give you the experience. In my case I am far from a newbie in this biz just new to advertising now. Never had to do that before. Ill take all the advice and criticism I can get. One does not grow without it.

I have absolutely no doubt you didn't choose to be there. Just another example of why they should let providers remove scrapers from their profiles, given a reasonable alternative. That is (and has been) an issue for S&P.

Yeah this stealing of ads is ridiculous. What is the point if they can not copy info correctly. Lol!
