this obviously is a question for all my provider friends..i know someone who wants to be a provider..she is 26..she is attractive..she has a new website and is ready to launch..she knows i have been hobbying for a while and called to ask me how much she should initially charge her new clients..i was honored that she sought my advice but really didnt know what figure to give her..i told her 500 per hour to begin with..she said ok..then i realized i just blurted that out with no real basis to go on..my question for you ladies then is this..where do you get the figure on how much to charge when you enter providing? is it based on supply and demand? what the market will bear? your looks? your sexual prowess?? get back to me on this and i will relay it to her..thanks in advance for your sound advice..

Most new girls if never reviewed come in at a rate half that one that you quoted her.Rates are then raised
later once a provider has built a reputation and has started to have an actual investment . IE: requested wardrobe, gas and mileage, and other travel cost. Hope this helps you help her...

I would start at $300, until she establishes a good rep. Then she could raise her price if it's backed up with good service. I wouldn't pay $500 to be with a woman I knew nothing about.

charging a premium. Start lower, get rave reviews, then go up after. Every providers trick bwahahah. Thanks boys.

Another mangina who thinks these ladies are worth way more than the market bears for most areas,
supply is far outweighing demand, even in the hi-price upscale escort market. But he will get KUDO's from some of the ladies for this one  !!!!

He definitly spoke before thinking as he stated, I will give him that much, but as his reviews show he see's mostly PORN STARS any way.

And I will probably get MY ASS fried for my opinion ... LOL  

Is she in a big city like NY or LA, or in much smaller market? It would greatly depend on that. Yes, I would never pay $500 for a newbie, but you can find a really good escort in smaller markets for $250-300. The same providers would go for $500-600 in a big metropolitan city

Just my $0.02

....one should give the overhead aspect a lot of thought when setting rates.

Below is a sample budget.
This budget will vary based on location, dates and if she travels/tours.
Example: DC hotel rates go this evening are 300+ per night (with an average rare of 300/hr)...That along with travel expenses, advertising, etc means that each day he will need to see 2-3 clients to cover overhead. After her 3rd appt of the day she could make a profit if she has no NCNS/Candellations/etc.



Budget:

Add into every appt 6hrs (2 hrs for screening,/2 hrs for showering/preparing/1 hr advertising/30 mins email-phone/30 mins providing references to various providers/screening sites)

Retirement (Very Important-Set aside a certain $ amount for retirement) this is a pipe dream! the increase in the cost of living along with the decrease in rates make this impossible.

You seem to have all the answers based on all of your other posts...so why act so "shy" now?

With the bevy of beauties that you claim to spend time with...you are asking the "peanut gallery" for an answer on something that is absolutely NONE of your business.

Good luck with your gal pal....she is certainly going to need it!

Why not just google "What do pimps charge for new girls"?

lives in downtown chicago..ideal location ..i think 500 is possible in this market..she wants to do outcalls only..lives in a high-rise with security..incalls would pose an immediate problem..

easy on me ChgoCPA..remember its only a discussion..to answer your question..i have tried the merchandise and it is ready for sale..now i do sound like a pimp..

And this is only a discussion.  But getting involved with a gal who "knows nothing" and getting her started is simply being "her pimp".  Why would you take offense to that title?

And maybe she has other "hot" friends you can "help out" and then you can be an agency.

If it walks like a duck, it quacks like a duck...it's a duck!!

So...what is your cut going to be?

remember just one thing..this is ALL her idea..she came to me for advice..i get absolutely nothing out of this except the satisfaction i was able to help a friend..she wants to take the plunge..i didnt push her into the pool..i have no control over what she does and doesnt do..pimps do..

You're seeing $2K an hr porn stars. Not so common.

Are you aware that $200 an hour is not uncommon for hot unreviewed noobs?

Plus you're telling her to chatge what you paid (your lowest) to a reviewed porn star with 9s & 10s.

Good luck on that, keep us posted.


HH

btw, you gonna do her and write her first review ?

just tell her about this excellent website called TER where she can signup and have all her questions answered. Direct her to the newbie board.

Are you afraid to admit that your cut is the constantly free pussy that you might miss out on?

Getting involved in a provider's business and how she runs it is not a good thing. Consider this unsolicited advice from a vet who has been in the hobby for many years.

Does she look good in orange?

Wow, great insight into the business aspect of escorting. Nice to see it broken down.

will take some time to get established.  Once she has some clients who have repeated, she might consider raising her rate a little bit every few months but she should grandfather guys who took a chance in the beginning for a period of time (at least a year).

What do other ladies of similar age, appearance, etc. get in your area?  Take that rate and drop it about a $100 and you might have a good starting point for her to use.
