Why does TER reviewers message me just to say, "I wish you had more reviews because you're beautiful." ?? Isn't the point of the hobby is to try someone new and exotic?  
Does your decision to spend time with me SOLELY rely on the opinion of someone else?!
Does the thrill of new and unknown not spark a mans' interest anymore?

Dear Charlotte,
Not that I am one to tell you what your fees should be, but maybe in a blue collar town your number is certainly going to scare people away.  Also for those hobbyist who are experienced, that is a whole lot of compensation for someone who doesn't have a lot of ink.  Those hobbyist might be more willing to pay someone who is a bit more well chronicled at that level.  Also adjust your fees for the areas that you are visiting.  Although I understand that you have expenses to cover, you don't want to over price the market.  That is a critical decision when determining what a fee is.  Not that there are any guarantees in this business but a consistent chronicling of activity and services about you do influence and determine if hobbyist will see you.

with the gents above.  Charlotte you are 100% my type but 1 review is like TOFTT. Especially since the reviewer has never given anything but 9s and 10's.  At $500 hr a true hobbyist needs to know that the provider is as close to a "sure thing" as possible.  Once you have 5-10 real reviews by hobbyist that we feel we can trust ...  Yes, you are beautiful....$500 is not as hard to justify(Philly current average is AROUND 300HR) But at $750hr for a Greek tour that is double..... Without several positive reviews to confirm that your pics  and services are accurate its hard to justify that rate for many.

Your 1 hour rate  of $750 for anal is much too high for this  Philly/Jersey market, especially with one review. Check out the hourly rates of these 3 established local providers who have much more experience with a much higher performance rating and anal is included: Victoria Wilde($600); Summer the One ($400) and DDDAmber ($500). Another provider who is also a young African American and who is fairly new charges $550 an hour with anal included.

...when it comes to TER gents that base their alone time on reviews. I see gents when I'm available, but have a hard time getting the ones that search reviews.  

so you can accumulate more reviews!!!! Simple as that lol....  everyone has to start somewhere... get it girl!!!

Those who are into you will see you. Point blank. This is only one market. I'd give serious thought to changing any part of my business based on people who have never seen me. I have consulted with good, regular clients about my business and I treasure their opinions, but the vocal participants on TER are really only a small part of this world.

I'm in the same boat,  lol no record establish that we are safe,  type of woman and provide we are and that we can be trusted to be with their hard earned donations.  

Some ladies, even established ones, will offer a slight discount as a review special.  That way you get a review and you don't weaken your basic rate structure.

I'm very cautious but that request makes no sense unless they are fishing for other reviews you may have on eccie etc. bottom line we have yo trust and verify that trust. I would tell them to consider the reviewers records that have reviewed you to see if they are established with many reviews and the date they started using TER etc.    I'll ping u when I'm in next and take the chance

Right now it's slow especially in the summer. Rates at any price is ok so her rates are fine, Philly is a major city after all and those who want to see her will indeed see her no matter how many reviews she has or the rate to compensate her.  

No disrespect to them but if I wanted any joe moe larry and mike, I'd lower my rates to accommodate those guys but I'd rather spend my time with affluent gentlemen who can afford quality non rushed sessions. Who enjoys my company rather than a quickie. How many guys do you think they see in a day at those rates/services?! (Being that they have many raving reviews) How many dicks will you inadvertently sucked by kissing her? I want long term established relationships. That one and done is not for me. It's too impersonal . Plus if you really want something, you'll do what you need to do to get it. Just like I saved for these shoes that are too high for me to wear. #ShoesAreLif

Looking forward to your email.

Let's see how your approach works and whether you are still around in 6 months.

Did anyone else notice how odd this thread is?  TER is the premier "review" board in the country, if not the world, with over 1.3M reviews. Yet the OP is questioning the value of reviews?  This is like going on a vegan website and asking for the best steak house in the town. It is firm and accepted dogma that the happiest hobbyists see only well-reviewed providers. Good reviews are the foundations to a successful career. They removed doubt and highlight the good things that make a successful provider. They should be encouraged and cherished. Questioning the value of reviews doesn't advance a career, but it does attract some passing attention.

ust like no one will care if my business will be successful or not, I, personally don't care about your opinion. I'm not changing my prices nor was I shaming other providers. I don't think I'm better than everyone but I am better than some.  

I will be. I'll be sure to send you a love note in February .. 😏

You started the post asking for comments. You got them and you responded in a self-centered way.  

its all about protecting yourself and understanding what you are getting.  I assume you would not see a client without doing some background?
