If you are going to use a blog as a marketing tool, then you MUST use it effectively. Guys who enjoy blogs are reading them to find out more about YOU. Not your business, not your issues, but you. You've got to start with finding interesting topics to write about, then write and write WELL. Interesting stories, proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation. You must SELL yourself as an educated, intelligent woman in order to attract the type of clientele that a blog is generally designed to attract.

If you are not a great writer, consider paying someone to post to your blog, provide updates, etc. Blogs are great tools when they are properly utilized.

Smart woman.

I think when we choose the line of work that we don't realize how not having a "work social group" will really effect us.. If we held an office job we could complain to our neighbor about nonsense that bothers us..

Dear ladies, men don't want to hear us whine. Why do you think they come to us? To escape all of the negatives in life.

Please, for your own sake, keep topics like this and "Florida sucked" etc to a minimum in the ladies lounge. Sometimes you just need to get what isn't really bothering you off of your chest. Just be smarter about it.

Alyssa, you are a sharp cookie. Great statement. Yes, I do not want to hear the whining, negativity etc. There are many ladies that I choose to not see in this fun filled world for just that reason. That is also why I am divorced and single and plan on staying that way.

Back to the original topic.

I've found there is something for everyone, including rates. Back when I first started in the hobby the rates all seemed to be about equal, this did seem to allow and encourage a lot of haggling.
Nowadays with ladies advertising rates that are all over the place I personally see a lot less haggling or gentlemen trying to work out "specials", especially since if they tell me they're on a limited budget I can suggest another lady whom I know charges less.

I have that many if not most of the ladies in this business dont understand the concept of supply and demand nor do they have any idea how to choose their market price.

Its pretty simple if you are too busy and have more client calls than you want then your rates are too low. If you are not getting as much business and seeing as many clients as you want, then your rates are too high.

The same concept applies for the length of appointment. If you want multi hour appointments and are only getting single hours, offer a deeper discount on subsequent hours.

I could not agree more.. It is the place of the commons to worry about such problems.. Let them eat cake, I say...

A lot of guys just want a 15 minute blow job, get their rocks off, and be content.

For every niche in the market, there is someone to fill it.

[newalhobbyist]

In general Amishgangster is right but... I thought that the Laws of Supply and Demand meant that a businessperson would maximize their profit, NOT the number of clients or gross revenue. And some businesses are effected by non-economic forces (safety, enjoyment, family demands, other endeavors, personal preferences, etc). It might be rare but maybe there are a couple of businesses here are ok with being limited to a couple of customers a day/week/month instead of maximizing the number of clients in a day. Of course there are those businesses that say they are low volume but then see 7-10 customers a day. And the idea of niche markets is a very important one to both customers and businesses. That is why there is MacDonalds AND highend steakhouses, or WalMart AND Niemann Marcus.

This has been hashed to death. I bet the caveman was haggling on how many pelts he had to come up with to bang his neighbors daughter. It's bartering. It always will be. I want to pay this much and if your in that category it's a deal. All this I'm low volume or I'm a better class is total bullshit. Class is in the eyes of the beholder and not how much you say you have. If the pussy is good men will follow. If it's funky or comes with a lot of drama they won't come at all.

She hasn't come back to post on this thread since the first page, maybe she's attending a bacterial vaginosis seminar...........

If you want to improve your "brand" and command higher rates and good clientele, then you may want to think some of the info you share on your blog.

I don't know many guys who want to read about your personal hygiene issues, bacterial vaginosis, or that you now understand daily showers are an important thing. This information will likely scare away many of the men you seek.

You seem like a great lady. Sweet and caring. I'd guess you're very nurturing and that you attract clients looking for that type of provider. Someone who makes them feel happy and safe. I cant believe one guy feels happier of safer knowing about your hygiene issues. Maybe you could start a blog that isn't attached to your business. One more directed at non clients.

You control your business, like I said on other your other thread, stop complaining about the stuff you can't control. What other ladies charge has nothing to do with your business. All you can do is make yourself as desireable as possible to your target market.

Regardless, I enjoy your posts (even when you repeat them). Good luck!

so much contradiction in this post if its her business like you claim , why tell her what she can or cant post on her blog ?

Good business owners generally appreciate and welcome constructive criticism. I fail to see the issue.

Or are you the one guy who got turned on by the bacterial vaginosis blog and doesn't want to see her take it down? Hey whatever floats your boat, I'm not judging. IJS

Always try to haggle down the rates. Once a girl is in her incall you neve know if she is having a slow day. Most of the time the rates will drop... Happy hobby days!!! lol

So you actually book the appointment, then show up and have the balls to haggle then? That is a quick and easy way to wind up being blacklisted. I would drop kick your ass out of my incall so fast your head would spin. If you want to haggle rates, that is your prerogative. Some girls are willing to negotiate. But do so up front before you waste her time and show up at her incall location.

First of all your right in that it shows no class and I would never personally do it. But as to it's effectiveness the negotiation will be more successful at the point where both have committed and shown up. It's an assholes way of doing it but more effective. To give a like example from a provider is " Oh! you wanted sex then that's another 150.00." That's the same move from her. Very common to the upsell provider but just as much a jackass move in my opinion.
