    Default Frequent client emails & texts

    I'm sure that we've all dealt with this situation in the past. I have a particular client (out of the area) who's quite enamored with me and lives on the emails/texts that I send them. Thing is, that this can be quite annoying, especially when it's several a day. However, I'd like to propose a compensated arrangement (I'm sure he'd go for it pending cost) for doing so but really haven't seen anyone doing this.

    Does anyone have any idea of how this type of arrangement might best work? He likes long emails, you know, ones you have to think about to write. If I were to do it on the basis of #/emails, would it work best of #/paragraphs, #/words, etc.? Also, I have no idea what to charge for said service ($25/3-5 emails, $75/20 emails, $?/monthly, unlimited?).

    I just don't want to underestimate my involvement in this effort and make it something worth my while. Also, I'd like to transition him to being a private cam client on Skype. Any input from those who are currently doing any kind of similar arrangements (or knowledge of) is most appreciated!

    Tx much,

    JudyO

    I think if you start charging him by word or paragraph, it gets too technical and less 'fun' for him what with getting an invoice for however many words you wrote. I'd say do it by number of emails, making sure that he knows that they will be long and thoughtful emails, not just quick replies or anything. Then, yeah, give him a range for a price. How many does he normally expect? How many are you most willing to offer? Price accordingly so you don't have to send more time on these emails than you'd like, but so you're still satisfied with the compensation.

    What's the nature of your relationship with him? I assume he's obviously not a client from a strip club or a camming website or else you would have posted in those forums. Escort? Sugar daddy? Knowing this will really help us advise you better. Like, if you're his escort, you could just offer him a higher rate every time he sees you to cover emails between visits, which has the added bonus of him not feeling 'bad' for asking for email responses from you. I know you think he'll go for this arrangement, but some clients can be very touchy about certain things, so it's always best to keep them calm and happy.

    Wow, I wish I had your patience and creativity lol. I just usually end up ignoring that type of client after awhile because they tend to be more trouble than they're worth. This, however, is genius!!

    How often do you see him? Maybe he can start prepaying you or doing a 50% deposit if it is often enough. I would never have the balls to tell a client who I see often to pay me for emails. I guess it is a different story when you have to actually stress yourself out thinking about it. I don't deal with clients like that. Doesn't he have a job? Does he chit chat and bullshit with his clients for nothing? I wouldn't even for 25 dollars per three emails. It is still stressful to think you owe it. I'd go nuts. NEEEEXXXT!

    Shanna dior – You’re right about clients being touchy about certain things! That’s the reason why I want to make sure that I respond appropriately so that I don’t turn him off. He’s an escorting client of mine, and because of the distance, it’s very unlikely that I’ll be seeing him anytime soon. However, when I was in his area, it was practically non-stop with the emails/texts to the point of being ridiculous.

    After a while, I just didn’t respond as quickly and the dialogue died a natural death. That is till a few days ago (Xmas email card to blame), and now he wants to resume the banter. Well, rather than just cut him off, I decided that it might be palatable if I were to at least to get something out of it.

    Funny you should mention that I should offer him a long and thoughtful emails – that’s exactly what he asked for (along with Skype)! I’m sure he’d like to get as many as he can, but the deciding factor will be the money – he may or may not be miffed at the thought (like maybe I should do it for free – not!). And, as far as something like this goes, I wish I had a barometer of ranges -- something similar to hourly rates that are charged. In the absence of which I feel like I’m pretty much like shooting in the dark.

    Yellowrose23 – We’ve all had our share of clients who can become pests, however, this guy can more than afford it. He seems like he really wants to maintain a virtual relationship – so be it! And if he doesn’t want to pay for it, then he can always pine away. Gosh, all things considered, it would only be a fraction of my hourly rate and it would be the closest I could get to actually being there.

    If I were still in his area, I’d suggest that he schedule more visits or build it into his rate as shanna dior suggested. Most of my clients more than respect my personal space, but, on the other hand, seems that a few will always want to cross that line and try to get something for free.

    strippername - Well, I'm actually several time zones away from him now, so charging for emails/Skype would be the only way this would work. For Skype, I at least have a point of reference for per minute/blocks of time that are charged. The email thing is a little more of a grey area as I haven't come across escorts who are doing this. You're right, $25/3 emails doesn't seem like it's worth it because then you'd think that you owe him something. Believe me, the extra money wouldn't hurt, but I guess what I have to wrap my arms around is what point would it be worthwhile to me without turning him off.

    Some girls pretend they have bookers so they won't have to deal with clients sending them emails to chit chat. This may be a good idea for you if it gets too tiring to continue emailing him.

    I tried to set a price for emails but usually they never bite or follow it. I feel that the more you talk to them off your cam site or off your personal website the more they are going to want want want. You have to be careful they dont try and abuse you.
    Answer them ONLY when you are about to go online or maybe a little time before hand. Tell them you will answer their questions in private. Some client asked me my birthday via tweet email. I told him the hours I was going to be in my chat room and i would tell him my bday along with some other facts about me. Hope this helps

    I have been having the same dilemma. For me it is a strip club customer who is in town 15% of the time. I have regulars, but I always feel like I control the communication. With this guy, the only way I feel in control is when I ignore him. He is a good customer tho... I have been thinking about texting him a wish list... I am just afraid he will somehow be able to find out where I live.

    Well, I guess it was predictable, but after my proposal to said client, I've never heard anything back (figures). I really didn't even get into specifics except to say that I'd appreciate a small donation as a token of his appreciation for an email dialogue. It must've totally deflated his ego as he probably deluded himself into thinking that this is what I wanted, too. Remember, this is the same guy who was texting/emailing me non-stop like I had nothing better to do. I guess that's one way to deal with a pesky client.

    shasta: have you thought about maybe a Visa gift card? I think they only need your email address to send a donation (everything is electronic), as opposed to delivery of items on a gift list.
