    Default Would you hire a PR service to boost your career

    So I have been doing some research and business planning, and stumbled on PR service for adult entertainers.

    I ended up chatting with http://www.therubpr.com/ over on FB messenger and I got some great insight and ideas to reconnect with my career in adult work and see how I can really brand myself.

    We all know the adult industry is hard and some of us are really trying to make this a career and maybe even try and get some fame and recognition.

    I am wondering if you would hire a PR service with the goal in mind of boosting your career.

    While chatting with Rub PR they mentioned Little Red Bunny a livejasmin model I believe and of course I googled her and was trying to figure out what is she doing with her branding and maybe i can do some new things for myself or rreenjoy my old stuff.

    Let me chime in on this one. I worked in PR for years before I ended up camming. I think that PR services are a great way to build a brand but sometimes you throw away money because they can never guarantee you publicity. I think that if you have extra cash to spend to get your name out there, a PR agency would be great. Would I? Probably not right now. They usually want high amounts monthly ($1,000+).

    Back to my own experience working in this field. Lots of PR agencies are money grubbing businesses that lure you into paying huge amounts to get your name out. Most of the time, it takes months before you see a ROI as well. However, in the adult industry I'm not exactly sure how long ROI would take. Just my 2 cents.

    2 months was what theRUbPR told me $500 a month , 2 month minimum to start. I have no idea if I will use them or not but I am thinking about it there is only so much I can do by myself I feel like I need my own team to get things done that I can not do or do not have the time to do myself.

    Like with school, camming, cats, housework, homework, relationships, doc appointments, hair/nails, spa time. those 24 hours I have can only be used in so many places.

    1. it is easy to submit press releases yourself.

    2. It is just marketing to the industry, don't think it helps your bottom line.

    3. Better off doing trade shoots with other big & unknown girls, taking lots of selfies, adding the hashtags to increase your sales & online presence so that it makes you the most money.

    Marketing to the industry is pointless to me. There are plenty of broke performers with lots of industry awards. Putting that $500 into a shoot with other female porn stars with a following of 100,000 or more on twitter would be a better investment.

    I think that hiring a virtual assistant to help you with marketing (stuff the PR agency does that you probably already know how to do) can be much more cost effective.

    The others have a good point about roi + marketing and once these customers and fans come to you do you have all your content in lined up to sell them? Especially stuff they can buy from you like video clips etc even when you're not live camming

    Actually, Minnie, I have a few ideas on this PR subject.

    1. You can used adult marketers on fiverr.com to help you with marketing and rebranding yourself. From my experience, there are tons of adult marketers on fiverr.com willing to help sex workers boost sales. M00dman is very good on fiverr.com because he will help you bring in more sales by showcasing your website everywhere.

    2. Find a virtual assistant willing to help with your adult marketing.

    3. You can create and send your own press releases.

    4. Connect with other performers and shoot some special content. Make sure that those performers have a large Twitter fanbase.

    5. Take tons of different selfies highlighting your interests.

    6. Pay five dollars for either a social media boyfriend or girlfriend (This is strange but it help boost my pso sales and gave me new clients for my second life profiles)

    7. Create an interesting tumblr profile by follow and talking with like-minded people. (It really helps with my Ebony and Native American submissive phone sex characters who catered to men interested in raceplay and other extreme fetishes)

    I hate to ask such a stupid question and hijack the thread, but I've considered fiverr in the past for adult work stuff but felt awkward about how to ask designers if the do adult-based work or not.

    I'd love if you had pointer on how to have that conversation with sellers there. <3

    I never pay people to do something I know I can do probably just as well myself. And as far as camming unless they have that specific experience it probably wouldn't be worth the cost.

    You have a lot of experience Minnie. I think you could do the same things for yourself without spending $500/mo. There's some great ideas here!
