At first thought, it would certainly seem to be more of an enticement to enter. But then I thought, are civie women really keeping tabs of the rising pricing in p4p? That might be a bit of a stretch.  
.
I think it may be more of a situation where women who were going to get in eventually anyway, may say to themselves that the money is just too good to pass up any longer.

Seems like over the last few years I’ve seen more porn stars get into escorting.

saw these high prices advertised and wanted to get in on the action.   They usually get a rude awakening when they find their own pussy with limited experience is not worth anything close to what professionals with many years' experience get, and when they finally find where THEIR relative price point is, it's not as attractive to them as it seemed at first blush.  A new girl will feel like a slut at $300 an hour, but she will feel like an "elite escort" at $1000 an hour.  They don't want to do it if they will feel like a slut, and there is no way they will last more than a week charging $1000 with no experience.  Reality is often a bitch.  Lol

There is a lot of evidence that a lot of women have entered sex work over the past few years, especially during the COVID boom. That being said I met a handful of women when I hung out at sex/swinger clubs that decided to become escorts. They usually started in one form of sex-work, like camming/OF/stripping, before "graduating" to FSSW. They were always very promiscuous and adventurous in their private life before getting into FSSW. Some of them also did a lot of cocaine. Most of them go into it for the money but its definitely easier to be a whore if you're already a slut.

Lucky for us (reviewers), there must be 50 ways to start providing… Make a new plan Stan! Jump on the bus Gus! Don’t need to be coy Roy! Just listen to me! (SB, porn actress, wannabe OF star, stripper!)

The job is sales! And it’s harder than it looks! Top 1%, $600 per session, top .5% $1000+ per session. Top earners - need looks, skills, acting ability, personality and organizational skills!  In industries I’m familiar with, top salesmen make $500/hour 2000 hours per year or $1mm, superstars make $1000/hour or $2 mm per year!  It takes them at least 10,000 hours to get to that level of expertise - say 5-10 years minimum. They are working on all cylinders in all categories to do it.

I met girls charging )400 pre Covid, now charging $800 - these girls are masters! One went from $600 to $1200! Again a real pro. One at $400 pre Covid stated desire to get to $600, now she’s at $500. Good but not great! I also know a kgirl who was grossing $300k per quarter pre Covid at $250 a pop! Like I said, 50 ways (to earn a good money providing)!

I end where I began, thankfully high rates attract a wide swath of interested parties, and we welcome all comers!

Sales & Marketing is all about perception, making the customer(s) believe what you want them to believe so that they will part with their money to the tune of whatever you are asking.

This is the same with providers/escorts/sex workers....am I even allowed to use the words Prostitute anymore?    
As this thread has elaborated, since around early 2000s  when Myspace started the huge shift in social interaction and made it infinitely easier for all types of people, particularly women, to develop and morph into things they otherwise never would have, sex work has exploded.  

Furthermore, as has been discussed in numerous other threads, the role, influence and impact of Pornography on the Internet since 2000 cannot be overstated.  As was mentioned above, today's porn hubs and free sites showcasing the "starlets" and the movies themselves has "normalized" so much of this behavior for women of all ages (selling sex, selling their bodies and their "personalities")  ..........PLUS normalizing and making commonplace the actual sex acts themselves which used to be Verbotten or severely limited in the world of providing sex for money  (i.e.  DFK or even LFK;  COF, CIM, BBBJ NQNS  not to mention all manner of GREEK services.)    

420smoka nicely summed up and encapsulated the economic realities of Porn for most porn starlets, and how it segues into a real life revenue stream/income IF she plays her cards right and doesn't self destruct.

The actual Prices for all of this "providing/selling sex" follow normal economic patterns and rules;    Pricing will be at what the market will bear.    As long as there is one sufficiently lonely, desperate, horny MOFO out there willing to pay whatever the top prices are for providers in their local area, then the prices will never go down, they will remain the same or even continue to increase....

Part 2 of this discussion is coming in a different thread because it truly is a different discussion:

In "Pricing" themselves, Providers must choose (either knowingly or not) whether they offer sex & themselves as a "Commodity"  or as a  "Service";    This is crucial  and will be discussed in the next thread....

Most girls I’ve known came into the business because they had a friend who was involved or they were otherwise involved in the industry as a stripper, cam girl, nude model, etc.  
The money is definitely a motivator but I haven’t known anyone whose only catalyst was the money.  

 
In my case I started as a stripper. In fact I had actually applied to waitress at a strip club, but I believe the ad was a bait and switch as when I arrived for my interview there was no waitress position open but they needed dancers and someone called in sick so could I please start immediately, lol.  

 
Initially I would never have had sex for money, I was a “dancer” and above that. But the offers kept coming and eventually I realized what I was leaving on the table!

 
I started at a lower price while I built my skills and gradually moved up until I found a balance of volume and type of clientele I was seeking.  

 
One thing that I have experienced personally is that I was much busier at a lower price point, but I had a decent percentage of clients that weren’t my type. The guys who come on here and call me a hooker or whore, who state that I’m there to solely service them and they don’t care about my experience, those are they gents that typically don’t pay the higher rate so I don’t have to see them. I don’t fault their approach except that it isn’t for me.  

While the money can be very good in this business it is not always predictable or guaranteed and there are expenses like any small business.  To be independent you need to be somewhat responsible with budgeting and savings or you shouldn’t leave your traditional employment.

is not really posted rate but rather the change in income. Even at 5000 a pop (forget time, just act) I can see a lot of women that are making 200K and more a year would likely not see it as a viable option.  That certainly changes for a woman making 5K a year and trying to feed a child.

 
I do also think that personal values will matter, not everyone has a monetary price at which they will do something they don't think is right or perhaps socially questionable.

 
That said, sure there are definitely some ladies that are no the edge and if aware of some price or offered some price could be inticed. What's the old joke.
Guy: If I give you a million dollars will you go to bed with me?
Woman: Sure, I'll sleep with you for a million dollars.
Guy: Okay, what if I give you $50?
Woman: (indignatly) What, do you think I'm some kind of whore?
Guy: We already established that. We're just negotiating the rate.

Let's not forget about the guy who had quick sex with a lady then paid her for her service.    

She complained... Hey this is Monopoly money!   Whats up with that?  He replied well those are fake tits right?  Here is your fake money!
