The position of Jack and GaG:  There is NOTHING you could say in a blog that would make me want to see you, whereas there is plenty you could say that would push me away.  So the bottom line is that the risks you take by blogging far outweigh the potential benefits of having my business.

I looked through previous threads about escort blogs, and saw a lot of yay or nay - but no real information about what content blog readers are interested in.  Are there specific topics of interest?   If you could write in and ask a question, what would it be?

...it gives me a hint about her attitude and if she is BSC. So I use them to rule girls out, actually.

 
They really can be a double edged sword, from a marketing/advertising perspective. Some girls use them for rants, make anti-TER posts, and can cast themselves in a negative light without even realizing it is costing them business.

 
My advice would be not to use one unless you can really manage to stay out of any drama and pick non-controversial topics and you are somewhat of a skilled writer. Of course if used properly, they can enhance your brand quite a bit as many johns are into the "connection" part of the biz.

 
I don't have any questions for you/your blog as all my questions would be directed at your reviewers if I wanted to see you, to be honest.

A well written blog, no matter how entertaining and interesting (which I still have yet to EVER have seen) will never be the deciding factor for me to just "have to see" the lady writing it. I will NEVER be convinced to see a woman because of her blog. OTOH, if her blog reveals things about her I don't like, she could very easily convince me NOT to see her because of something she has written. A few examples would be Anti TER rants, rants about how rude her customers are, posts that indicate to me that she is "all about the money" or posts that indicate to me that she really doesn't like her job. All of those things are huge turnoffs to me and if I happen to glance at her blog and ANY of those things jump out at me I will immediately move on to the next girl.

 
As for topics of interest, there is nothing you are going to have on your blog that hasn't been discussed here. The very idea of writing in to ask a question is just a foreign concept to me.  Unless to perhaps ask someone like you "Do you find threADs written on the GD board are helpful or hurtful to your business? lol

This is unbelievable. It may be the first time four of us are in agreement.

Blogs are either self-serving thoughts in the same vein  as the fake bios or they rail against the tricks. They do not help the girls and usually do more harm than good.

You would be reasonable about something said here. Lol

I read a lot of gal's posts on their twitter accounts-as an example---and you know how much of the U S Citizenry suggest that President Trump refrain from tweeting.......gal's should refrain as well.......it can only hurt your image-unless you are simply using twitter as a means of advertising-then I see no real issue with it.  But stay away from "Causes" and don't let your emotions lead you into something that can cost you money !

...blogs occasionally contain photos. I am all for that. As for content. Nah.

Most guys here are looking for a body rather than a person. Having a blog is a good idea, if you genuinely enjoy writing. There are clients you have that will genuinely enjoy reading it and see you because of it. Its simply another form of advertising, and a way to showcase your personality for those who are interested.

It seems like folks who spend their time prolifically posting here are not likely to be reading much...but the forums in which to ask my question seem few!  

I've only seen a few blogs that interested me.  It was the un-interesting or unappealing ones that drove my question.  I was wondering: am I missing something here?  Is this what guys actually want to know about?  

It wouldn't seem so as the majority of people on this thread have actually said they DO read the blogs, so I don't know how you came to the conclusion that "you won't find many blog readers on this forum."  

 
It appears what many of us are saying is that we read them for DIFFERENT reasons then why the girls may write them, I will grant you that, but that is quite different then what you said.  

 
If that wasn't bad enough, you then state "most guys here are looking for a body rather than a person." How could you possibly know what MOST guys are looking for? Did you take a survey?

 
Personally, I like both. A good body AND a good person, as I typically spend 3-4+ hours with a girl, so there is quite a bit of convo and maybe even some fun OTC later for drinks, possibly some dinner with good convo and some laughs.  

 
In fact, I won't want to see a "body" no matter how good it looks, if they don't bring the enjoyable, happy "person" with them.  

 
You seem to be making a lot of generalizations that are misinformed and/or unknowable. You also seem to be a bit jaded about the guys here.  

 
I won't speak for "most" guys on this forum, as you seem to possess that unique ability, but if you have a blog and write in it in a similar fashion to how you wrote your OP, I can only tell you what I would do...

 
I would go to the next girl on my list. ;)

meh, when i wrote my comment, the comments on this post confirmed exactly what i'm saying. but  you post is way too long, i doubt i'll read it.

But she retired.  She was one of my favorite sluts and seemed to love sex, also teasing guys.  So she'd take pix of her flashing her tits in public or do short videos of herself masturbating.  I'm so sorry she retired.

I do so to screen for personality. I will admit, while it works much better then it used to, sometimes my manhood isn't up to being "up".  

I need my dates to be able hold up a conversation and be understanding of units that don't always work. After all if I am not able to fuck, and I don't find anything more then your looks interesting, then the time and money is a waste, but if I find you fun and interesting with you clothes on a good time can still be had by all.

The topics are less important than the attitude and tone. Ladies that make me laugh or smile are going to get my money. Women who show they can laugh at themselves and awkward situations. Women who seem fun both in and out of bed.

And if a lady seems angry or demanding, it will keep me away. Ladies that mock their clients will not be concerned about seeing me. Making light of situations is a turn on, making fun of a human is the opposite.

Also it is good to show your passions. It makes conversations easier to start. Like if you like to cook, I know it is a nice safe topic we both may enjoy.  Again topic is less important then the fact it shows who you are.

To me a blog is to advertise personality and the parts of you that don't show up in a photo. I have booked girls based in large part because of board and blog posts.

And thanks, I was starting to think I was the only guy here who has been drawn by well-written blogs!

I have to call BS on your entire philosophy.

Did you watch born on the 4th of July last week?

There is a lady here who had gotten into my DNA in ways that are totally new to me.  It's unique, a little complicated but I think she's the reason we all stole the word 'awesome' from the Valley Girls.

That said, had I read her blog before getting to know her I would have been intrigued because in addition to being dang beautiful, she's also pretty dang brilliant. But reading it AFTER I got to know her is like turning a simmering pot up to full on boil.    

That is up to you.

 
Write what you feel passionately about.   Some will read it and some won't.   At least those who do will see the real you.

a blog about a provider I might be interested in seeing. I will sometimes read TER posts to see if I think we might have some common ground besides the physical.

I don't want to be with a provider who is all about TER bashing, politics, etc. Being with a provider should be about mutual pleasures, fun times, laughing, etc.

But only if I'm already interested in the lady, and have already read her ads and website. It could sway me if I'm trying to decide between 2 different ladies.

Men don't focus on connections like women do. They will only see you as a person once you're actually looking at them and talking. Online, it's like Tinder. It's all about the photos. Twitter does more for me in deciding if I make an appointment than a blog ever did.  

In my opinion, blogs are good for different business models, but not sex work. Guys loooooove feeling confident that you are that hot girl they think you are and that is always on our mind when we only see 6 photos of you, often professional. Glamor shots are nice, but weekly, consistent shots in normal, cute outfits like your pajama bottoms or you're gym clothes with your hair up is gold. That eliminates the - Did she gain weight? Are those pictures recent? Does her hair actually look that way, or is that how it was for the glamor photos? What will she look like with less makeup like when I meet her for real?  

Guys are visual. They won't connect with you until your face to face. Thats when you are a real person with a personality to them. Online, its all about the pictures that create a fantasy and the anticipation of meeting you. I can't speak for everyone, but I am a dude...that's what I think about it.

Is if I want to be in a relationship with her. I do not considered a paid date, even with a repeat as a real relationship.

The good blogs I have seen were smart, sassy, and well written - and clearly took a lot of time, effort, and skill to produce.  Based on what I've read here, it seems like a Q&A page could provide the same kind of "personality glimpse", with a lot less effort for writer and reader alike!  This is not to say I am lazy...just efficient.  :)

BTW,  completely agree with the gents who sad that blogs/Twitter/etc can be a total turnoff.   Especially when it comes to Twitter, I've been floored by how bad some ladies can make themselves look.  I just think: but why?!

xo-MM

but I will concede this last post of yours was a VERY good save as I was just about to agree with Jacks' rather harsh post about you above, you were well on your way to joining those ladies who make themselves look really really bad by revealing too much about how they actually feel about the business in general and their clients in particular.

 
I think your idea about a Q&A page is MUCH better than having a blog.

...with his harsh post. Following the line up from his post it looks to me like it's to the right (barely) under the one by Mommascomin. I agreed with him in that case.

People misplacing replies under the wrong poster has always been a problem here, but in the past it was mainly due to people using "flat" mode, under the new, (fucked up) format even experienced posters are misplacing replies at a ridiculous rate.  

 
TER quickly realized how badly they fucked up the last time they changed the format, and quickly moved to rectify the most egregious flaws, we can only hope they get the hint this time too, but so far it appears that they are turning a deaf ear to our complaints.

If you go back and see JD's comments, he was directly quoting from Mommascomin's post, not MiMi's.

He not only quoted from Momma's post, but the OP as well.

 

Some of what he said in that post was in direct response to Momma, and some of it could only have been directed at the OP, because he actually used the words

"I won't speak for "most" guys on this forum, as you seem to possess that unique ability, but if you have a blog and write in it in a similar fashion to how you wrote your OP, I can only tell you what I would do... "

 
So I guess we were both right. lol

...I know you asked the guys OP BUT ultimately, it's the women writing the blogs that will be able to tell you how effective they are...

Here's one POV.  had a blog when I was in the US - it was a highly effective marketing tool. It followed the same vein as my new one in that it wasn't an escort blog. I never talked about clients/dates etc - I wrote about all sorts of stuff from dog fights (planes, not pooches), travel, interest and music....all sorts of stuff that interested me or I was curious about. I had a high level of engagement from the blog - both directly on the site and privately and eventually dropped the site and just had the blog.  

Did it generate more appointments? A small amount. Did it generate longer and repeat appointments? Absolutely. When you are spending longer amounts of time with someone the compatibility issue extends beyond the bedroom and a blog gives good insight into shared interests, passions and sense of humour. Longer appointments often lend themselves to repeat bookings IME. Men that would ordinarily book a dinner date went straight for the plunge and booked an overnight. Beware though if you bullshit about your interests you'll get caught out very quickly and publicly! I remember a woman on here getting outed because a guy had booked a water skiing trip with her based on her blog and one previous date and yes...you guessed it she couldn't waterski. Tut tut! Blog about who you really are and you'll see fringe benefits in some way shape or form...

Or perhaps she mentioned that she was into water sports and he misinterpreted that.

Hahaha...nice one Mr F
She should have used that as her get out clause, right? 😉 Xx

I write a blog on my website that gets 1200 readers a week. I'm a pretty gifted writer in addition to other oral gifts and I garner a lot of business from my blog.

A blog might offer the lady a vehicle for hinting at sexual proclivities that she doesn’t care to reveal up front on her website.  

For example, she might subtly hint about where she lies on the scale of D to S. She might describe her secret closetful of retro-styled garments – hoping to garner attention from guys with underserved fetishes.  

Most importantly, the quality of her prose can give hobbyists a useful window into her intelligence. Since TER doesn’t have a category for ‘brains’, guys who prefer smart women do need helpful clues.  

But please:  no poetry, no promoting of charities, and never any opinions on controversial issues.  

When I am deciding to see someone, I personally read everything they have written online. Blogs, old ads, everything. If I’m going to be intimate, I’ll figure I will be intimate.  It’s hard to write a lot of stuff and not have your real personality come out at least a little. So I find the blogs valuable.

I just don't have time to follow providers.  If I find their ad on a board somewhere (aka Pxxx) that I an thinking of booking, I will follow whatever links they have to websites (and twitter, but not often.)

I would say to stay away from divisive issues -- although I could be wrong about that.  Take for instance politics.  You do run the risk of alienating half the population.  On the other hand, you might motivate fellow travelers. so it might be a wash.  I guess no way to know except by trying.

Which brings me to a provider who did have really strong political rants (with which I happen to agree.)  I would have booked with her BECAUSE of her rants.  The only thing that stopped me were her difficult screening and minimum hours for new clients.   Good fucks can be had for less.

Which brings me to my final point -- price is probably more likely to influence your success rate compared to anything else you can do.  Play with that.
