you have to adapt and adjust to suit the changes and market a bit differently.in time with age sometimes even with the changing of the seasons our targeted group so to speak can expand or decrease.
there are slow times when you up the advertising to attract more clientelle and new clients and then busy times when even your weekly ad on Ter is not needed you are already booked.
There are so many ways to gain expossure without running an ad, its just really subtle advertising in a way.
There was a time a few yrs back before the economy went down the shitter when the phone rang off the hook 24/7 people were over spending in every aspect of life here included. you couldnt take 2 steps without tripping over a hobbyist with a pocket full of money. It was indeed easier to market yourself and there were a lot less Ladies on the market so everything was different.
Now its kinda a flooded market so you do need to seperate yourself from the others so you stand out. More ppl are looking for a bargain and watching their pennys more these days.
That doesnt mean its a buyers market only that the buyers are being more choosy. Learn to addapt market to fit the need and its all good.
Run this business like any other business on the expossure level *Market* yourself. If you do so you will see the difference, I promise you that.

Good Luck!
Oh and happy St Pattys day!

It takes time. I know that you are independent, but you may want to consider starting out with a reputable agency. Once you get a few reviews, things may turn around for the better. Patience, patience.

A website would also be a good idea if you want to stay independent. What you have now is only a few pictures and doesn't tell us anything about you.    

You are definitely hot and in a good market, you just need a little more creativity.

You can see why I said she was hot.

She has an ad up on the NY ad board from a couple of days ago. You can check her out that way too.

Or may be have one in the first place....

I am sure some ladies will be willing to help you out, if you are willing to learn..

Just sayin'

You need to do what other providers do. They go on tours every few months to keep their price on target. Some providers who stay in the same area depending on looks/services/performance will have to offer price reductions to keep clients coming back.

One provider told me last fall, "You guys get tired of the same ole pussy all the time". While that may be true, a good provider I will return to use her services.

The thing you have to be concerned about is there are a lot of guys down grading to lower priced providers. Yes the price drops are some times to good to be true. You have to draw the line in the sand to figure out what the minimum price you need.

Case in point are providers from Atlanta. Many of them a few years ago migrated to Boston to be able to get a regular $300/hour rate. You might want to consider going to a place like Boston.

If you are selling something good and marketing it well the buyers will always come.

Get on some meds and come back to try again.

I guess this is a good comparison to supermarket cereal vs. name brand cereal... Both taste the same, by a blind taster..

So one can guess that you don't have that "special" quality that would make people consider you over the store based brand...

Compared to my first fiance, Anna's a lightweight.

Thank you.

I'm guessing that there's a local overload.  It happens.

Like I said, you're a lovely lady.

Doesn't make Anna less nuts.  Can't trust Crazy with your screening inf

My god, what a train wreck. The fuck are you talking about??

"Buyers market" is the last thing you should concern yourself with. Thats what established girls content with, not newbs. You will deal with market conditions later. You need to build a brand, a rep and a demand for your services, even on a small scale, and so far you've done none of those.

You need to stop making bizarre statements too. You made a number of them on the Rescue Group for Underage Sex Workers thread. Bad move. People tend not to be taken seriously after things like that.

Your link goes to a bunch of pretty pics. Is that it? Who would see you? If you think you've done everything there is to do and you're talking about retirment already, then yes I would say retire. But clearly, there are SO many things to do, if you are serious, and I am not sure you are, to make it in this business. But at this point, you would be retiring before you ever got in the game.

So its up to you. Change, with your looks, and you have a shot. Dont wanna change? Ok, then save yourself the agg and toss in the towel now.

Consciousness posting haha

In summary:

Get a nice incall & good reviews

He's saying stop with the "I am/was the..." iow guys in his opinion don't care about a lady's education, previous endeavors/accolades...they're more interested in if ya give good head.

& have lots of pics on her website and a few ideas for poses (clothes on, licking an ice cream cone or eating a banana & wear a jersey)

Hope this helps!

You've never seen him I take it.

I haven't seen anyone from TER. The best e-mails I had were to ask if I have reviews and if I don't people disappeared. I have
a whole bunch of people wanting free sessions in exchange for reviews though.

There is really no such thing as a buyer' market in the hobby. Men overall ALWAYS have a need for more sex than they are getting.  The business is tough; if you are like a kid --young and green-- about it (no matter what your age) you're going to have trouble.

If you can't get the money you want out of a session, then you are either overpriced, your service in not up to par, or you are marketing to the wrong group of men. If you have your formula correct, you will have all the business you can handle. Further, over time, you may have to adjust your formula to stay viable. That's  just normal business, no matter what the product or service.

If you need more bookings, have you tried being open to haggling?

Why do you need to post this comment?

If a hooker finds it demeaning...they'll not read it.

If YOU find it demeaning to the hookers...don't fucking read it.

Take your moral judgements and tell it to the Priest.  Might do you some good!

what is all this fuss about? i would love to tap her ass..

Men having the NEED for more sex is different than men having the MONEY for more p4p sex. The escort market, like the black market for drugs or any illegal activity is still bound by the laws of supply and demand.

During bad times, like we have been experiencing, more men have LESS money to spend on the hobby. Higher unemployment and worry over loss of job will keep additonal men on the sidelines. The supply side (i.e. the number of ladies escorting) also increases during tougher times, thus having a dampening effect on rates.

Whether this is a buyers market or not is impossible to tell because there are no studies on the topic, that I am aware. I do know anecdotally that the market is soft in NYC right now and has been for awhile. Thats where this girl is based. Not many people are paying full sticker price, especially on longer sessions. Most girls will tll you bcd the market is not good, not awful either, just not good.

Even if so, like I said in a previous post, those market conditions aren't effecting this girl one bit. Its like a bug hitting the windshield of a car, does THAT effect gas mileage? Well...yeah, kinda, maybe...you see my point.

You do realize where you're at...right?

And your opinion is fine...just don't tell posters that YOU don't want them doing something YOU fucking don't like.

Don't read the posts that YOU find offensive.  It's quite simply.  Even guys from Ohio should be able to figure out how NOT to click on a post.

If you need help on the subject...go to the life preserver and get educated.

Ally must be so proud of you  

You would see that many of the hookers who post on this board call themselves hookers!

And why the need to reply to every post on every thread?? Trying to become top poster? Is there a prize for that?  Overnight with Ally?

No, just kidding. He's a dope. Just waiting for his next bit of posted masterpiece. You should have read the "I'm bored" thread he started. That was his entire post. Had he just spelled it out rather than contracted it, at least that would have added 33% more volume to it, but wouldn't have had the boys at TER HQ any less leaping over themselves to be the first to delete that winner! Lol.

CPA, you think you're the hunter?  Would you like to know how it feels to be the hunted?

I don't ask to call me a lady, provider is fine. And the fact the Cincinati Guy stepped in and expressed his opinion makes sense
to me.

We can discuss it when you get here.

But see macdaddy1944 first.  I'll trust that if you're real he'll let me know.

Otherwise get someone...anyone to put up a review somewhere.

Don't want to find out that those aren't your pics.  

"Hooker" is not demeaning... as in "The Happy Hooker" by Xaviera Hollander.  

Besides, I LOVE hookers. I admire them, respect them, adore them. I give them 1000's of dollars every year.   Hell, I'd even marry a working woman.

Look CinGuy, in my real life, I'm politically active for sex worker rights and decriminalization of sex work. What have you done for your local hooker lately, plonker?

And who are you anyway, the White Knight Politically Correct Word And Thought Police?T his is a fuck board. Full of hookers and johns. Sheesh!

Peace, Love, Dope!

but since you wanna refer to her as a hooker then you must be a trick...
its all about mindset.
there is hooking and there is Companionship GFE if you will.
Some are clients while others are simply tricks.

I don't think there are any bad words. Using words badly, that's a problem.

You can use a perfectly plain word in a pejorative manner and do plenty of damage. You can use a more scintillating word in a banal way and have no impact.

I picked the word "hooker" because it fit the tongue-in-cheek tone of my title. I stayed away from "silly whore" because is sounded less lighthearted and a bit misogynist when I read it back. "Silly tart" was in the running, and had a funnier sound to me, but since the work "hooker" is used freely on the board (and often as a self-descriptor by actual harlots) I thought "That's the one I will use!" Never once was there the tiniest thought of an intent to insult.

Personally, I think anyone offended by the word "hooker" on it's own is a bit weak emotionally, and possibly has internal conflicts over their own behavior choices. Or... they are a severely repressed religious person who feels it's a "dirty" word. But I don't think there are too many of those types around here.

I don't care what you call me. I don't like to be insulted, of course; no one does. I'd prefer "client" over "trick" or "john" certainly, but I'm not going to get my boxers in a bind if I see either of those words used toward me or in general.

Signed...
