Blogs - purchaser and provider

What are the views of folks on blogs?  It seems that a lot of providers are introducing them to their sites.

- do you think they generate more enquiries (by making the girl seem more "interesting"
- do you think it is appropriate for the provider to mention how a particular session went?
- if you have been mentioned in a provider's blog how do you feel (and, for what it's worth, I'm usually flateered to be considered blogworthy)

I've also started my own blog which is partly a description of how I got into the hobby, but mainly how being with a WG makes me feel (versus being with a lover).  I find it very cathartic to write.  Have any of you hobbyists, purchasers, punters done the same?

I read a lot of ladies blogs and think they have a lot to say. It is a good way to get to know a lady before meeting her and can be a real turn on to peek inside her front door and see what's cooking.

Blogging gives me an opportunity to share a little of myself with new friends and allows my visitor to find out things about me that otherwise he would miss.

Blogging can be good if it reflects a positive side of you and very bad if it is argumentative and shows you in a less attractive light.

Your most important point is the last one, be positive. I briefly read one providers blog until she started talking about how much she hated escorting and the men who call themselves "hobbyists" and how she was going to become a professional domme so she could be in charge. Very depressing read but useful to know to DNS her and all of her sycophants.

I love writing and I do have a blog, it has nothing to do with hobbying but, as you said, it is very cathartic.

What I have found however is that reading other folk's cathartic outpourings is not always all that interesting.  Provider blogs are no exception.  A few are well written and a pretty good read but I find that to be the exception not the rule.

IMHO, they provide way too much opportunity for someone to say something that they'll regret when others aren't stopping them from running on.

As a point of reference, when one of us says something dumb here, the gang bitch-slaps us back to reality.  Sure, sometimes that's painful, but think about how much less damaging it is than letting me go unchecked.

is critical. I suppose if you have no self-control, you could self-immolate.... but then, thta's the case with lots of self-revealing activities, no?

The Wall Street Journal has an article today in which they say that there are currently almost as many professional full time bloggers in the U.S. as there are lawyers and firefighters. I read through the article quickly, but I believe they said the average salary was around $70-90K, with the top tier (1%) earning around $200K. So I wonder if there is a way to generate advertising dollars from a provider blog and turn it into a profit center? (Besides generating interest in booking sessions with the blogger.)
