I am just curious as this is something I have never participated in, or felt the need to. Have any of you ladies ever had a guy email you saying, "Hey, I saw your photo on TER and want to book you." Is that ALL it took for the booking to transpire, I mean?

But that's because I rarely post photos. So ... I will say, the few times I have posted photos all it did was prompt someone I already know to call me saying something like "I wanted to see you , but I didn't know if you were around or available, but I saw your post so I decided to reach out."

ISO threads and Regional boards. Best clients for me personally have originated from there actually, especially the ISO threads. And yes, a one liner is really all that simple. It starts the communication, and from there it transpires.

I never actually booked a date from a "photo thread".  
I have had successful bookings responding to iso threads, I do see what you mean about the same few ladies respond to every single one of them. Occasionally if I have some free time I will look through the ISO forum and if I see something that fits me perfectly then I will respond and most of the time I get some business. I have booked 3 overnight/extended dates by responding to an iso.

The only time I take any ISO post seriously while reading is if a budget is included or there is a mention of NO budget.  

In light of a recent thread I thought I should post my pic.
Ok ladies this pic is recent and not airbrushed.
Lets see how quick my in box fills with PM's

I have not YET seen any provider that has posted on these threads, but I have added several to my "consider" list that I probably would not have based just on a search.

I don't advertise very often (no EROS or any other site and only very rare TER ads) and I also don't have many pictures posted on my website (personal preference) so when I participate in the photo threads it's not the same old pictures that have been posted 100 times since it was taken.  I can think of 2 or 3 clients who are now regulars who saw me on a photo thread first, messaged me, and then checked me out and liked what they saw on my website as well. And I'm sure others have noticed me from the posts but never mentioned it.  

Yea the "I only have 100 to spend" posts, are fkin epic. "I have 100 dollars, looking for gfe, msog, and a facial...line up ladies."

Yes.  They are quite optimistic.  Just no shame

to the men who like low-profile ladies, but some of them like high-profile ladies and enjoy the tease of photos that they can look at until they're ready to book a date.

3 overnights? Shit!!!

Thanks for your contribution. I can see how this could help providers who don't advertise much, and have new photos to share. The ISO thing though, I just find the men to be quite ignorant, which is why I tend to suggest they see someone else lol. I mean if you have to ask the board who you should pay to fk, you're clueless.

judging from your post, negatives followed by more negatives.  

If it works for you, by all means do it! It would never work for me, and yes...I would feel a little desperate if I had to cruise the boards for dates every week, but I guess location and rates might have an impact on what one must go through to get business. I have a P411, do Eros every 2 months, and that's a rap. In fact, the months I don't run an Eros ad, I seem to work more...makes zero damn sense!

Did my post say "I am worried about this?" No, you shit for brains stalker, it said "Does this actually garner business?" If it does, great..if not, still great! I was just curious to know if it in fact led to more dollars coming their way, or if it was viewed as desperate by some of the guys. If you don't have an answer as to how you feel about it, then STFU and get off my track, old man.  

yet another episode of a controlling person.

these gentlemen are new I might add, they typically like hitting up 'destination' hot spots for travel and want to bring a companion along...nothing wrong with that, travelling alone sucks...so if you have the means to travel, it's definitely all good Whatever works for each of us I suppose. You can call me the travelling queen, it's been in my blood my whole life, can't help it, any chance I get to hop in the car or on a plane, I'm there hahahahahahahahaha. Too much to see in this world to live any other way.

Re: I guess Herpius forgot he was supposed to be "ignoring" everyone eom

Yea, his stupidity always gives him away. He can't even control his own bladder, so I can see why he hates dominant women who don't kiss his ass.

If we were to add a "biggest stalker" category to the SPOTY's, Herpius would win in a landslide.

You don't actually know what works for you yet! As a newbie, you need to explore these things, and get some exposure, and find out what works for you, but you answered this question like you were an authority on it. No disrespect meant to you, and I have given you helpful advice on the newbie board, but here your answer is not credible

I never look at the photo threads. As for ISO posts when someone is looking for something particular and a lady who fits the description answers with a "pick me" post, I think it is fine, but the gals that answer every ISO post with a "pick me" post seem desperate to me. Especially the ones who claim they are very low volume and very picky in their selection and screening, then jump on every ISO post with "me!" "me!" "me!"

Comical, and yep...good point. I guess if you are not going around claiming this and that it won't matter, but the inconsistencies in marketing claims are rather humorous.

Dude, even with his face blurred, Jabba the Hut is pretty hard to miss.

but am disappointed if the pics aren't new.  I can't recall if I've ever booked anyone as a result of seeing her first in a "photo day" thread, but it doesn't hurt.
And I agree the "pick me!" posts just make you look desperate.
I'd prefer her to say, "I'm really horny right now and if I don't get laid I'll just masturbate all afternoon.  Please save me from myself!"
I won't believe you but at least I'll know you've got a good sense of humor.

I don't recall seeing someone just because they participated in the photo threads, but I'm sure that the exposure over time has lead or will lead me to see someone; if only because I will feel familiar enough with them.

I don't charge by the hour, so now you've done it! Back to your corner, Mr. Hobby! For the record, I never post on TER whilst sucking c&ck....well, not the first time anyway.

I do neither. It is advertising and it would be a waste for me to do it if I don't have time to see anyone else.

Never told her though.

Thank you. A different perspective is always welcome. So, in your estimation, providers who have enough business from regulars, would not have to, or should not do this? Not talking about photo threads, but the "Pick Me" posts?  

Looking good, my boy!  And congratulations on your weight loss!

LOL, yep. Can't recall Rasha ever doing one of those. Smart and hot speak for themselves, I guess. She fkin doubled her rates!! The nerve! Now, I am going to have to BUY her a condo to come see me, vs. renting one for the week! Hooker!!!

I want her again soooo bad but that new rate stopped me cold.  If she can get it -- and I'm sure she does -- bless her.

Oh, I am pretty sure you would be grandfathered in...just call it a hunch lol.

I don't have a beard, and I wear boxers.

If it's the same photos being posted all the time, it gets old.

That's me I respond to every time she post's. I'm not stupid, in love or a pimp . I just like telling her hot She look's, what can that hurt? Must have not hurt anything She is retiring.

There is hope for you!  Read on, my boy!  Perhaps now your lap-band surgery will be covered under your insurance

And then their SHRINK bills start piling up..
welcome back

...I have decided to go ahead and contact a provider that I was considering because of photos posted on the regional board photo thread. I have seen her twice.  

Yes they work.

The idiot sitting at his keyboard scratching his head evertime he changes his handle wondering, "How did they figure out who I was?"

I just think my time and effort is best spent getting clients to return than what it takes to entice, screening and so forth for a new client.  

Jabbing first then welcoming back is an oxymoron.
