I was recently accused of being part of another groups efforts to try to raise the price of pussy here in Austin.
What's that old saying? If I'm going to do the time I might as well do the crime?

Check out the above story ladies.
Austin is growing faster than any other city in Texas and is the 3rd fasted growing city in the United States.
That means a lot more then just "people". The real story lies in the people coming here and the money they make.
I am sure you have all noticed prices going up around us. Housing faster than anything but across the board increases.
What does that ACTUALLY mean to any of you? That lies in WHERE these people are coming from and what things cost them there.... My personal experiences puts San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Jose, Minneapolis and Atlanta in some of the areas we are getting people here from... And form North Carolina and the Boston area for some reason.
They are coming here for new jobs in industries with major players relocating here and as the infrastructure of our city grows they are coming here for all the basics as well..
Go to
http://money.cnn.com/calculator/pf/cost-of-living/ and play with the calculator there and type in average incomes in other cities and you can see how compares to what those people need to make here to pay for the same lifestyle...... MANY of the people being transferred here as well as those simply being recruited are coming at their present salary levels.
Using the calculator you will quickly see that the growth the city is experiencing means a considerable amount of additional disposable income is here now and continuing to come to Austin. Much of this disposable income is typically expended in a first year in luxury items as well as hobbies.
Ladies..... HOW do you tap into this additional disposable income? You need to research advertising mediums utilized by the ladies in the areas that we are seeing the most growth from.
By no means am I suggesting you leave ECCIE. It is an extremely valuable resource..... But the guys moving here from San Diego or Atlanta may be used to a different board than ECCIE or select their ladies off of some site not typically used here in Austin.
You should start discussing in your own forums resources from other areas that you can use to try to tap into that money...... Maybe it's Eros.... Back Page...
I have no idea.....
But just like every major business in Austin as well as the city itself does, you need to make your presence known in those markets in the medium they are used to reading..... And when doing so.... Make yourself known at the rates they are used to paying...... or slightly below.....
If you can tap into the NEW money that is in Austin your rates will increase quickly and your dependance on groups like OPEC will drop....
Overtime ECCIE will grow.... Many of you ladies will be the Ambassadors that bring ECCIE to the guys that have never heard of it before..... In doing so you can better shape the face of this community if you do not like the face it has now. Win-Win!
Why am I suggesting you are worth more and could charge more? Personally I think it is ALL over priced so it seldom affects me. I've always stated that each and every one of you has the right to charge whatever you decide is good for you. I was recently accused of being a part of an organized effort to raise prices here in Austin and I was unaware of that. Let me apologize and state
I'll try to do my part a little better....
Why this? Why now?
Ask Toyz, Rock1Man1, dante0322, NativeTx78 or gleemonex…..
They will surely have an opinion……
Austin is growing fast and disposable income as well ladies. Charge what you believe the market will bear....
