    Default I don't understand escort ads...

    Hello ladies,

    I am a bit confused and would like to see what your thoughts are. I have been dancing for 9 years. I have worked through 8 states, made a ton of money, gotten some pretty huge gifts including new boobs and cars etc... So, I am aware of how much money is available within the sex industry if one goes about it the right way. Now that I am thinking of expanding my horizon if you will, I am confused. I have ordered Amanda Brooks' books, have read nearly every escort post on SW and am waiting until her information comes and I feel fully educated about this to set off as an indy.

    In the meantime I have been scouring all over the web checking out escorts throughout the world, although mainly the US. I have found quite a few very classy elite courtesans which is what I personally would strive after. However, what I don't understand is the way some escorts choose to advertise on pages throughout say craigslist, citypages, or backpage for example. There are a few classy women charging what in my opinion is at least something decent to go home with, but then there are all these other very cute girls who are presenting themselves in such a vulgar manner. I realize I sound like a complete snot, and truthfully I feel its up to each of us to decide whats best for us- BUT, I don't understand the marketing strategy or why they choose to make so little? Christ, I made more on stage than what some of these girls are asking for. So is it ignorance of the possiblities? Poor marketing skills? Stupid pimps who can hustle? I'm just trying to figure out what these girls are trying to accomplish and why they would want to portray themselves this way? I hope this doesn't offend anyone. I am truly not judging, it just got me thinking because I am busy trying to create this new courtesan "persona" as my dancer persona is a bit tired of the bs...

    take good care,
    Athena-

    I think for many of them it's lack of knowledge, business savvy, etc. You don't have to operate on their same level though. I'm sure many of those girls would prefer to be making more money & portrayed as high class... but they don't know how to get there.

    I'm curious though, have you thought about private dancing and just doing legal social escorting? It sounds like you probably have the skills to do both of those.

    I have thought about private dancing but quite frankly all the private dancers I know are really just escorts or they do birthday parties etc... I'm really not that "fun" kinda girl. Think more like slow, classy, elegant...blah, blah, blah... no stud parties for me. I'm not super familiar with social escorting. I have found some escort sites (independent of course) that advertise as travel companions but quite frankly I just assumed they still offered the entire intimacy of escorting? Am I wrong? Do elaborate.

    ^^^ I'm not much of a party girl either - especially since I don't do drugs & don't really drink. I just do private dancing. The work is out there. I advertise that I will do parties, but I don't really get booked for many since I don't do toy shows etc.

    You'll have to check your city codes, many do require a license for private striptease & escorting. I know the work is out there for social escorts - I always see ads where guys need a date to some sort of function or they are coming in from out of town & want a date to show them around. In my city I don't have to turn in a client list for private dancing. If you go into escorting though many cities require a monthly report of who you saw, how long you spent with them, the amount charged, & how the time was spent. Some cities allow you to fax the information in, others require that it be hand delivered.

    Best of luck with whatever you decide.

    not going to comment on this publicaly as I am no longer posting advice on this board. You can pm me if you have any specific questions about escort ads. I will say this.. If it's that hard for you to understand go with legal social escorting and private dancing. The main the is screening if you can't screen or you don't get screening then you should not get into escort work.

    First off, I'm sorry and disappointed to hear that you aren't offering any further advice in a public forum. Thank you for offering to pm with me however. I appreciate it and hope I am not part of your obvious frustration.

    I do understand the necessity for screening. I personally cannot imagine escorting without it- which is another reason I am choosing to wait. I need to continue reading the wealth of information you and the other ladies have offered as well as the books I ordered (if they ever get here- hurry up amazon).

    The real nature of my original question though was really just trying to understand the motivations of some girls versus others. I mastered dancing by studying the men but being able to understand the dancers too- we all know there are a lot of different categories each with their own motivations. I suppose in a way I'm trying to do the same here just to understand the business in its entirety. It would seem your upset and while I think my question is valid, I do hope not to upset further.

    A-

    I have both of Amanda's books. I ordered through amazon and they arrived very fast. It took 4 days max.

    Ah oh you don't have anything to do with that.

    If you don't feel confident enough to go independent being an escort start with an escort agency. You won’t be able to learn everything about being an escort in a book a lot of it from actual experience.

    You have to be able to find your own personality you want to portray in this industry. There is no standard of advertising you have to be able to find what works for you.

    There rates out there aren’t a good template now with anyone with an internet connect and craiglist anyone can post their escort services some girls who work on the street are now on craiglist advertising themselves which allows them to reach out to a bigger client base. This allows clients to be able to bargain shop for their sexual services.

    Craiglist has open up the escort industry to a new level of shopping around. You really just have to stick with your own business plan and what you want to portray and the type of clients you want to attract you can’t keep wondering the whys of other people

    Couldn't help myself .. You forgot to add that she should not advertise on craigslist. If she wants to get busted she should advertise there. Craigslist might be Great in canada (though if i were there i still wouldn't advertise on craigslist) but it's a no no here in the states. I do not recommend craigslist advertising to anyone.

    Mid range and high end girls do not advertise on craigslist. an alternative could be backpage as long as she doesn't lower her rate to be in competition with the cheapos there.

    craiglist has been great for some people american or canadians its a matter of how you write your ads on craiglist. you will attract LE no matter how you advertise.

    ^I disagree with this.

    So you are recommending american girls advertise on craigslist? Here in the states we know that craigslist is raided with stings. It is not fair to say that it's a matter of how you write your ads becaue it is not. Google prostitution in (any city) here in the U.S and you will see that Craigslist is a known spot for LE. Sorry I wouldn't' recommend a girl advertise on craigslit. 1.) It's for low end providers. 2) She would be setting herself up.

    That's like me telling you where to advertise. I can't do that because I don't know the toronto market just like you don't know the U.S market for one escorting is legal in Canada though there are somethings that could get you busted like hosting incalls. That is not the case here. Yes YOU can freely advertise YOUr services on craigslist but we can't because some of us care about our safety and don't look good in orange jumpsuits.

    There are other good places to advertise: Eros($95) depending on where you live, City vibe ($50) depending on where you live, Open adult directory (60), Girl directory(can't remember), TER (free), BD ($20), Backpage (no more than $20 for a sponsor ad depending on where you live) (as a craigslist alternative) and Avenuex (can't remember).

    There is a reason why it's only $10 to advertise on craigslist.
