    Sad I just got my very first reply to one of my escort ads! ...but... =(

    ...Im not going to reply to it cause hes a moron.

    My ad is very simple and so extremely easy to read through...one sentence with a teaser about me and my stats, two super short ones saying Im outcall and my available locations, and the last one explaining to see my website for info, rates and make a reservation along with my link.

    Short, simple, direct and obvious right?

    Heres the email I got: "Hey do u have a number?"

    Pretty much explains my range of emotions from start to end lol

    Yeah, not going to bother responding since well, if he cant even read 4 sentences or click a very obvious link, then I dont want to see him.

    I was really debating earlier if it was hurting me not to put my (google voice!) number on my ads instead of waiting to give it out after screening and ready to set an appointment.... This guy cinched it for me that I made the right choice.

    ^I don't mind posting my google number, but for me it's the people who text when it clearly says No Texts/No Blocked calls. Those people I just delete.

    See...Ive seen pros and cons of posting up a number, like that some guys would prefer to be able to actually talk to the girl and give his screening info directly to her instead of online on her site or in email... But then I worry too about the guys who just call cause the number is there and to be able to talk without really meaning to book a session.

    And generally, no matter what the context...Im no fan of one-liners. Kinda makes me feel like if he cant think to click my link or even write a decent inquiry, then will he be thoughtful when Im standing right in front of him?

    Of course, Im completely new to this aspect of things so I have nothing to base anything off of but theory... Am I being too hard on this guy?

    If I had a nickel......

    I used to think "I wonder how this guy's gonna be in person, if I'm already annoyed through email".

    LoL Thats exactly how Im looking at it tribalrose!

    On the flip...I just looked at my web stats and saw I got my very first hit through google, and when I clicked for more details, saw that someone who was looking at my site googled me and checked my site out some more. (I heart statcounter)

    I just googled myself too out of curiosity to what he may have seen, and theres only so far my site and my BigDoggie ad that come up...but I like that this guy is researching me. See...thats the guy I want an email from lol

    Girrrrl, you betta brace yourself!!!! Lol!

    Cuz if that one email irritated you, get ready...they are gonna irritate you to no end!

    They don't read, like ever.

    I never put a number out cause if you answer the phone they are going to straight up ask stupid questions on the phone and try to keep you on the line with stories about what they did today, other girls they have seen, what the weather is like, etc etc etc...

    At least if they email first, you can see how stupid they are and then give a number.

    Whether I answer stupid people back or not depends on how bad I want the money at that moment and if I feel like it.

    So whether you respond to him or not is up to you.

    Sometimes if I am in a feisty mood I will mess with them back with totally sarcastic answers. If they ask for pictures, I ask them if they are building a scrapbook, etc.

    Oh it was more of a deflated sadface that thats my very first reply ever Awe! lol I figure, if hes actually interested, then while waiting for me to reply (that might be awhile haha) he will scope out my website and then yeah, try again...

    About my number though...something I was thinking of too was to set my GV to do not disturb and have all the calls go through to VM...but then Im not sure guys would actually leave a message. You think? Just really back and forth over the phone number thing...

    This. This is common in the industry. Me? I just delete. I don't give it a second thought. You need to give your business at least 60 days to take off. If it hasn't taken off after 60 days then you must be doing something wrong. Now a client that is interested in seeing you will do one of two things or both. 1.) Fill out your screening form. 2.) Send a detailed email 3.) Both.

    If this gets to you then you might want to rethink this whole thing. YOu need thicker skin than that.

    Eh...no, Ive heard much worse in cam emails and free chat.... it was just the deflation that my very first ever ad reply, got all excited and then opened it and...plop! Not stressing over this guy at all...my first ever successful meet will overshadow that for sure

    Really though, right now Im just wondering about the ph number thing, cause it was on my mind before he wrote me, then after the email I was like yup, def shouldnt post one, but then flopped back around to the idea that there may be guys who would prefer to call than email and send info online...

    Im pretty sure that eventually it'll all just boil down to what seems to work for me. Maybe I just go with my first instinct of not inc a number and only sending it after they fill out my form...or at least see how they approach me through email first and let them call if they prefer to give detail by phone... Just looking for experience on that angle of things...

    At this point everything Im working with is research and theory til I start seeing guys and have the first hand to have a more solid idea of how things work though actually doing it.

    You'll get messages, but there are also guys who wanna speak to you right then and there. So, it would go either way.

    I guess it all depends on your personality, and what works for you. Personally, I'd rather get a phone call as opposed to an e-mail, especially when I am working and I do have incall that day. I just don't have the time to read and reply to them on the spot. I get so many calls, I'm busy screening those guys and setting appts with them. I do have down time, but it may be a few hours before I can get to them. However, every overnight I've ever booked has started out with an e-mail, so those guys aren't really looking for a same day date either.

    I'd sent him a short note with my number, I would've done it without even thinking about it to be honest. That's just me though. Staying safe is what's most important for all of us

    This is how I look at it, if it's slow, I will post a number.

    I have rarely found the need however.

    My umber is usually reserved for paying clients an not just any guy off the net.

    But I will ask for their number in my contact form, because like Miss Adventure said, if I am running into an appt already it can be easier just to call sometimes.

    I ask for theirs, but don't give mine. Double standard, whatever.

    This really gives me something to think about...thanks Ill stay no public number for a couple weeks, then try with number to see if theres a difference in the guys that contact me. I do already have on my info that I dont accept same day appointments...

    Plus for now I think better to stick with email at first, so that I can put thought into what I want to say and how I want to say it...til its more natural to me and have a better idea what to expect so that Im comfortable talking to a guy off the fly.

    Yes, that's a good idea. I'm already established, so it's nothing for me to book a full day, same day. I have alot of regualrs now, so it's a peice of cake. If I do see someone new though, I do always screen. Sometimes if I'm busy, I'll get there information and screen the new people at the end of my day. I'll call them in the morning, and most of the time they ask if I'm available. If I have 2-3 new clients that want to see me, I'll stay another day.

    I was burnt out though, for the past 3 weeks my incalls were going for 2 days, sometimes 3. I took this week off, I really needed to. It's been lovely not having to pack and leave home. Oh, and for the record it wasn't always this way. When I was new again last August/September, I can't tell you how many times I shelled out money for a hotel and didn't get a single call. It does take time, so hang in there.

    I didn't really think of that, Black Sharpie, but for a "newbie" email may be best at first as it will keep you from being caught off guard and saying something you shouldn't. Having that time to think before you reply would be really good idea.

    ^I agree. Even when I was recently "new again" I still had past experience, albeit old school experience. I had to learn how to be an escort in the day and age of doing everything online. But I had experience non-the-less. lilmisssunshine is right, you really need to think carefully about what you are going to say and how to say it. Stick with the email for now, and if it works, just keep it at that.

    Exactly.

    On posting your number I will say this:

    I recommend newbies to post their number until they have a good following.
    Good following = Established/Good reviews.
    When you are a well-reviewed provider, I see no need to post your number.
    When you become well-reviewed put this on your website: "I prefer initial contact be made via email."
    do not post your number unless you want to deal with bs.
    If you have structured your rates accordingly there will always be business lurking (especially
    if you tour). Blk Sharpie, now that you've told me the city you're based in .. all I'll say is: be patient.
    That city is known for supermodels charging $200 because the market there is so saturated.
    When you gain more experience, TOUR! Successful escorts tour.

    Here's a tip: If you ever do decide to tour stay two days in each city and make sure you put
    on your ad that you'll only be there for two days. You'll be amazed at how many guys will
    prebook knowing that won't be there long.

    ...That is a really good point about posting my number til Im established. On one hand I want to be more comfortable first, on the other, I need to get out there and be as accessible as possible to get started... Okay, Im going to go ahead and give it a try.

    Yeah, Im sure the market is completely saturated here with some fierce competition. Right now I only advertise in my city and mention Ill go to the next county over, but I think maybe Ill advertise in cities up to a 2hr drive away at least till I get myself established.

    Touring is definitely on my agenda Building up here... But yeah it makes sense, once I have a following and a reputation, then I can get more restrictive in how I want to be contacted and how far Ill go to meet a client...

    Yup. That is exactly what AudrinaN did. She worked in Pcola and would travel often to panama city which is almost 2hours away. That girl was BANKING! Always stayed busy. It's smart to advertise in nearby cities especially when there aren't quality companions around there. For example: Columbia, SC is not too far away from me. If I wanted a quick $800-1k I'd go there and work for a day. There are very FEW quality companions there. The guys are always happy to see a quality girl.

    On posting your number: Post your number to start then when you become established then remove your number from the internet (when you remove your number from your website/ads it will still be online so you will have to call your service provider and get a new number) Email all your reguars the new number and you're all set.

    Oh and if you don't have a mailing list on your website. Get one! Heck if the review boards and the escort directories were to shut down tomorrow at least you'll still have your list of fans, followers and regs.. just saying!
