it's on sale for 30% off right now - anyone try it out? I bought Amanda Brooks' books but they didn't help me (it was all information I could find on my own, but then again I'm a well-versed internet researcher)
thank in advance!

I never bought it the escort aristocracy it was sent to me by someone on here who purchased it, its not actually worth buying for the price she is selling it for .
^ Is there any useful information in it that is not covered in the escort handbooks?
Lovelyme, I've seen the rate decoy video. The rate plan looks unrealistic. I've browsed through a lot of escort profiles and doesn't seem like anyone is using it either. But I still am tempted to try it just to see what happens!
What are your rates if you don't mind me asking. Are you booking more 3 hour or longer appointments now? Any difference in client quality?
My rates are $400 an hour. I started at $250 an hour and raised them as I got great review after great review.
I don't know what you mean by it doesn't look realistic. It has worked for me and others I have recommended it to.
My rates were structured on my site as
$400 an hour
$750 for 2 hours
$800 for 3 hours
They're pretty much getting 3 hours for the price of two.
And for me, more guys are booking 3 hour packages.
2 (3hr) calls a day and that's $1600 seeing just two guys.
These guys are not wanting to bang away at you lady bits either.
They're looking for a mixture of a few things (conversation, relaxing body rub, private time..etc). I look at the bigger picture. I've never been the type to see more than 2 or
3 guys a day. This works for me. May not work for the backpage girl but it works for me.
Erin has a tool that also helps you do this yourself and It has been
posted here before. I don't know how it looks "unrealistic" but it's pretty smart.
Men want to feel like they're getting a steal. I would say over 50% of my appointments
are 3 hrs. I haven't had a one hour date in a long time. The rate decoy advice she posted that in her blog but that little bit of advice made me thousands of dollars. I didn't agree with her on the collecting a fee to screen guys advice. It's one of those things that would never work for me.
As for clients I attract, from day one I've always attracted gentlemen of quality.
Structuring your rates properly is not what attracts them. Great pictures, Great site content, Great reviews, Marketing is what attracts them. Hey this is just my opinion. I say use her techniques before knocking them.
By unrealistic I meant I've never seen any escort use the rate decoy before, so I'm unsure if it will work..
I start at 400 as well but most of my appointments so far have been for an hour. :(
Do you advertise the 3 dates as dinner dates where you spend the first hour in public or is it all private time?
All private time on the 3hr rate.
A friend of mine has two 3 hour rates, 2 clock free packages..etc
That way she's able to separate private/public time. Very unique how she does it.
She makes a lot of money doing it that way but I've been too chicken to try it since my method works for me.
I think it's a great thing that the rate decoy hasn't caught on. I've seen a few use it but not many so I agree with you there. Hey try it first. If you don't like it, you can always restructure.
Seems like a lot of time! (to me). I'm going on my first 4 hour date next week and quite nervous about it. :/
I've seen maybe one escort profile that offered 2 rates.. Hey seems like you're doing well so why not give dual rate structure a try!
I will change my rates and see what happens, I possibly couldn't be doing any worse..
Because I believe in the saying "If it ain't broken, don't fix it". My rate structure/marketing works for me. In this business, what works for one may not work for the other. I will never do the dual rates because it's not my style. Even when I travel, I have the same rates. I have found that different rates piss some guys off. I keep it simple.Let me know how things go for you ;).
Instead of publicly offering to pirate it bc you like it - advocate everyone buys it.
Youve always been pro-her books, do her a favor and encourage people to buy them. I think under your other name youre listed in her reviews as a supporter of her work.
It is a sex worker writing something for other sex workers - it doesnt have universal utility. It is self-published and she's already taking a risk writing about a black market industry. She isnt going to bank off of its sales. Encouraging piracy from within our own community when piracy is decaying certain sectors of our industry already is wack.
You are 100% correct and it was tacky of me. I was not thinking at all. I was just trying to help out. Please go buy her book, ladies. It's worth the money. Goodbye.
I have purchased amanda book because of the reviews on amazon and then eventually meeting amanda in person so for me buying her books for 3 times, cause the first one i left behind in a hotel when i was starting out being indie, the second copy I bought and lent it and never got it back and third i bought directly from amanda at a conference that she signed that I will never part with.
aso for erin myers package thing once I got a copy of it and noticed the price her price for what she is offering isn't worth the buy at all. which i am glad I didn't purchase it. There is certain things in erin's package that is repetative as in amanda's books and others don't even apply to me because of the city i work in.
plus after the nightmare with escortsupport.com I wasn't really eager in buying from erin myer.
^what happened with escortsupport.com?
?????
:O
I forget to check back here, lol!
(thanks LovelyMe, I just remembered ;) ha)
as far as the rate structure, I use it and it worked really well for me, but I've restructured my whole packaging since then and now it isn't, so really just give it a shot and if it works for you, great! if it doesn't, try something else - it's all about experimenting!!
I know it is almost a year later but the escort aristocracy program by Erin Ann Myer is no longer available. I am so bummed I really wanted to purchase it as I seen what rave reviews and how helpful the information was. Does anyone that has purchased this program want to sell it to me? Since you paid your hard earned duckies I would never ask for a freebie. I wanted this program to be able to go indie and not have to rely on an agency. Anyone with any help would be appreciated.
Does anyone know why it isn't available anymore?
I was looking for it as well and came across it on amazon actually had it before and misplaced my copy and Erin is no longer around.
LaChloe - it was discussed on the board at VH but I cant remember why now -
