Hi guys!

Aniya Luxe hereee. I've been on TER since December & idk what I may be doing wrong. Although I'm not new to escorting, I am new to the review/advertising online culture. I've done most of he suggestions I've seen in the other discussion boards but still nothing has changed. If anything, I've gotten more no call no shows from here :(

With that being said, anyone have any suggestions on how I can drum up some more business & actually have guys to see me, leave reviews, etc? I mean, I don't bite or anything :) I'm open to all suggestions & advice.  

Thanks!

...You're a newbie, an unknown quantity without a track record.  Many guys will not feel comfortable giving your their real name and work info.

 

Of course, your safety and security are paramount, but you could be waiting for a long time for guys to comply with your screening standards.  If a hobbyist has many reviews and white lists, and you can verify him with reliable provider references, that should be sufficient.  You should never lower your standards if it would make you feel uncomfortable and unsafe, but you may be waiting a long time for clients.

 

 You're doing things right by posting your photos on the Photo board, your local ad board and your local discussion board.  But your posts on your local discussion board are all "pick me, pick me!" posts.  You should take part in discussions if you have something interesting to say.  Guys will be able to get a sense of your personality, and you can link your website in your posts.

 

At the risk of being politically incorrect, but speaking frankly, it's always more difficult for "ebony" providers to make it in this world.  That's just the way it is.

I just checked all your posts and it does look like you have followed the general advice that is usually given to new providers here. Good job!  
Post on the regional ad board: check. Reply to ISO threads: check. Post on the photo only board: check. Offer discounts or incentives to TER members: check.  I would just see keep doing those things and have some patience. Eventually you will  get your first review. After the first one or 2, they should come easier. Maybe post a little more in regular discussions, so people get to know you.  

As to getting a bunch of NCNS, I don't know the answer to that. It happens to n the provider and client side. Not sure why you would get more after joining TER. Maybe just a coincidence or string of bad luck. Hopefully you are screening your clients well.

Keep up what you are doing and good luck.

Thank you! I think it may be just bad luck as well

thanks for that feedback. The work info is only required if they don't have references, basically newbie hobbyists as they're called?

Men are still recovering after the holiday season (financially). Tax season is here. Things should start turning shortly. Keep in mind, August is usually quiet in this business.  

Consider getting invited to a Meet and Greet. It's a great way for men to see you in person, get a feel for your personality, make new industry friends, etc.

Regardless, good luck and have fun!

The only practical advice I can offer is to mention that it is permissible to link your web site to your board posts, except when your post is one that starts a new thread, commonly referred to as an "OP", linking your site will make it easier for anyone reading your posts to "check you out" with one easy keystroke.

 
Other than that you seem to be doing everything you can to get your name out there, Your rates are quite reasonable for the market you serve, you don't come across as either demanding or desperate, you look good, (I'd do you. lol) and I think you will do just fine with time. Sorry about the spate of NCNS, it happens to all of us, both providers and clients alike. It sucks, but it comes with the territory.

 
Aside from that, all I can do is welcome you to TER and wish you the best.

Ahh, ok. I was also thinking this as well. Like maybe things will pick up after tax season?

Thanks! I was quite a bit confused on tagging my site but you cleared that up for me.

Re: Your screening requirements may be too stringent for guys...
thanks for that feedback. The work info is only required if they don't have references, basically newbie hobbyists as they're called?
 
Remember it's possible that some interested guys are retired.  We have needs too.  I'd suggest being open to alternative screening.  I'm not saying no screening but listen to what a prospect can offer & see what you need.  You don't need a formal policy even...

I think you're doing a good job and on the right track. Here are my thoughts.

1) You look fantastic. I, personally, like the straight hair look. You have beautiful hair. Just remember guys like all sorts of different looks, so this is just my preference.
2) Your video is hot!  
3) Nice web page, very well done. Mostly the information I need, but could use a bit more. For example, city. Took me a little bit to figure out you're in New York City
4) This is the biggest one. You mention P411 on your website, but I can't find your profile in P411. If you do have an account, list your ID# or link to P411. If you don't have an account, I highly recommend getting one. I don't know the cost for P411, so if its cost prohibitive, I understand. I pretty much book 90% of my dates with independents through P411.
5) There is a discrepancy between your ad on TER and website. Your website, for example, says P411 AND two provider IDs ("not in lieu of"). For me, not a big deal, because I've found providers who say that will take just one of the requirements, especially if its P411.
6) You are in a VERY competitive market. Any little hiccup, and guys will look elsewhere unless you're a known commodity. Yes, men are freaking lazy. Even though everything is laid out in front of us, we're just browsing. With a lot of selections, and don't mean to be crude, but this is a business - you want to make it easy to find reviews and book. I've never booked through a website, always through P411 or sending a text/e-mail with info I've found on TER.
7) As mentioned above, Full Legal Name is a non-starter for me. And also as mentioned, its your safety, don't compromise. If that is what makes you feel comfortable and safe, stick with it.

So, suggestions, and these are only suggestions. I'm not in the business, but know business.

1) Link to P411 for verification.
2) Clarify on your website that TER Handle, P411, etc., is ok on its own (or just leave it as is).
3) Marketing, you have a good angle. Promote being "fresh" and "new to the business, but I'm great in bed as I've been told".  Again, not to be crass, but you're like a hotel room. You know people have been there, but it feels like you're the first one because its fresh.  
4) Reviews, I can't find your profile on TER. If you have an ID/Review on TER, list it or link to it.
5) You have no email contact. On your 'meet me' page, you mention e-mail, but there isn't a link or publicly visible e-mail. We also need an e-mail to write a TER review, too.

The ONLY two things that would prevent me from seeing you is that I can't find a P411 address to book through P411. I also can't find any reviews. I think everything else is perfect. Videos really help, and you have a great video, you look amazing. Website is top notch, beautiful pictures. Finally, price point. I feel its accurate, and you'd be worth it.

I think you'll do great, you just need a bit of traction and you'll be fine. Maybe a tour to Washington, DC.  :)  Feel free to PM with questions offline. If you can't PM me through TER, let me now and we'll figure something out.

I truly believe it will work out for you. Its easy to see you have a good head on your shoulders.  

Best of luck!

You do have an email, I just couldn't see it at the bottom of the page - maybe change background or color of email, just a suggestion.

You might want to include a warning that the video... has audio in case here are others within earshot.  Fastest way to get gents to click OFF your site!
