As hobbiest I would love to know what you think. 7 years ago as a teenager (7 years wow that sounds so long ago! lol) I was a very happy, sensual massage provider that was well reviewed and charging $150 an hour. The economy was better, the great reviews were there. The price was higher than most providers where I advertised at the time - it was back in the day where craigslist was not filled with scams, fakes and... but through word of mouth and the reviews the wonderful customers come flowing in. Now in essence I appear "new" and with the economy the way it is should I leave my rate the way it was?.... or lower it to $120 or maybe even lower?! I have been looking at what other providers are charging - it seems to go from $60-$120 on backpage for girls that strictly provide massages. To up to $200 on eros (but those girls also provide full service for a little extra).

As San Diego hobbiests, for a non reviewed girl would you recommend going with $150 or $120?

Also I will be starting in January. Usually not the best month for the hobby. Would it appear "lower" to start at a lower rate in Jan and increase back up as business picks back up? I always thought of this technique negatively back in the day but with the economy the way it is I am not sure what the rules/standards are nowdays! any help/advice would be appreciated!

Oh and one more question - I will not be providing services from my home this time around, I am looking to get a room or a couple hotels situated where in the county would most of you like someone to be?

This type of question should be asked of ladies that are currently providing and familiar with the market in your area, not the guys who obviously stand to benefit from your rate being lower.

Just my opinion..
