bad as in 'BadCollegeGirl" bad. Bad as in horrible bad.

No matter where you advertise, if you have good screening processes in place, you will always meet guys that are decent by virtue of weeding out the ones that are not...

I can only talk about myself. I would never start  with BP or Eros or any other Mall as starting point. I start right here.. On TER. And typically, I don't even start anymore, since my bucket list is quite big..LOL..

I know a longtime provider that advertises on bp, and gets plenty of business from there, like your provider friend.  I tell new guys they can look anywhere, just do your research.  I look at bp all the time, have seen many quality providers with ads there.  Unfortunately, there are lots of bad apples who place ads there also.

If done properly, advertising anywhere is perfectly ok.  But as a provider, you must do whatever screening you need to insure your safety from undesirable clients as well as uncle LEO, just as the guys must do their research on a provider they may be interested in.

BP in NYC is a huge no-no. I use it when I go to Hawaii because it's pretty much the only place that people look. Eros is deserted, TER isn't used much... happily, the guys that check out BP on the island are generally awesome people and happy to give references.

There is a well known "elite" lady who is on GLS (which is considered very "high end" advertising) as well as BP at the same time.

Also didn't you get your start on BP? I remember your first post here, when you said you posted on BP, met a couple real nice guys, and made some good money, before you knew about TER or screening or anything else about the biz. You were probably lucky in the beginning, but it does show you that you can meet good clients off of BP. Knowing what you know now, (about screening, and other aspects of the biz) you should be able to use BP successfully as just one part of your marketing.

Of course it has a bad rep because of all the scams, robs, b&s etc., but there are also successful users. Location is a big part of it too. If you were in NY, or Vegas, or Los Angeles, it would probably be best to stay off of it (and there are enough other more reputable ad sites in those places where you wouldn't need BP) but in some areas BP is actually the best place or even only place to advertise. In other areas (I'm  sure Ohio falls in here, as does my home state) it is just an additional ad source.

A big thing is how you use it. There is a huge difference between an ad like this:
"highly reviewed classy lady available for incall/outcall in xxxx area. Screening required. Email me at xxxx."
And one that says, "Hawt#}}~Sexxxxxy&$@80**roses***#specials::24/7 avail::::4toowun34six...!"

Depending how you write the ad will depend what kind of clients you attract. Using email
only contact or a link to your website will weed out the drunk horny calls at 3am.

You can always just try it out and see what happens.
Only you can decide what works for you. A few months ago you were talking about going UTR. Going on BP is kind of the opposite.  

Good luck

if the lady has a presence on ter or P411 ect it wouldn't deter many. It probably would increase your business but I'd suggest using email only for initial contact. You'll get phone calls 24/7 if you list your number.  
        Good Luck

I think the bigger problem is the risk of who you might meet on a BP date.  BPers might not be as into screening; more like the wild wild west.   Don't let your guard down; I'm sure you won't but I know a lady who worked the BP pretty hard in a smaller town and it was like dating in the land of misfit toys.  

A lady like you will be very popular on the BP as you are about 10 cuts above anyone who graces those pages (not a slam on them; more a compliment to you as you're just about the only thing that can make me regret not living in Sinsinnati) -  

I am just not sure the results will be worth what you have to go through with BP mongers.

My opinion is you have to weed through the bs on bp.

I have met some really great friends, but lots of lames you have to ignore too.

the biggest problem that I see with BP is LE.  It is a site that every local agency is very aware of and provides easy access when they want/need to set up stings to garner press or up their stats.  Most every local jurisdiction has occasional prostitution arrests, and almost all are associated with BP ads.  Three ladies were just arrested in NC yesterday from BP ad.  The site was mentioned prominently in news coverage.

Not that they don't look at other ad sites too, but that one seems particularly easy and popular for them!  Why draw that kind of attention if you don't have too?  JMHO

BP is like any other website there is some good and some bad. I would hate to think that just because provider post on BP we are automatically marked as a bad provider. I have Good reviews but continue to use BP because about 80% of my clients come from BP. That and there are not very many place's to advertise for FBSM if you are in Delaware.
If your thinking about seeing a provider no mater what site she posts on you should always check her reviews out.
BP is only bad if you let it BE

....who've said that BP is probably not useful in NYC, or LA, or Chicago or Vegas.

But in smaller towns/states, BP may be the best game (or the only game!) in town.  It sounds like you're prepared with your screening, and so there's not a huge risk to you.  Screen BPers like you would anyone else (maybe a bit tougher!) and if they don't pass the cut, too bad for them.

If in 2-3 months BP isn't working out and getting you any clients, pull your ads and move on!!

I will say that your rates are higher than most BP girls I see advertise, at least in my area.  If I were you, I'd publish those rates in your BP ad, so that guys looking for a girl that costs 50% less won't even bother contacting you.

You'll find more fakes, rip offs and LE on BP than any other site, but damn skippy tons of docs and lawyers use it. When I used to travel to many areas of TN, Alabama, and Florida, guys on BP paid over 400, which is NOT common in many areas like Nola and Atlanta. In some areas, BP guys are morons who expect GFE for less than 300, and in other areas, they are professionals who have no clue where to find escorts and heard about BP from a friend or coworker.  

The only reason I stopped using it, is because it simply contradicts my business model. Who the hell is going to say they are upscale, etc. and be amongst the lowest of the low? You are constantly having to defend why you use it, so I said to hell with it once my rates went up.
