Title: Backpage or Viva Street?
Post by: mature helen on 19 September 2014, 01:13:18 pm
Hi Ladies

Not sure if this is the right place to post my question but if it is its this...
 I'm thinking of getting some paid advertising and I was wondering which of these two to use..a friend uses Viva street and she loves it as it suits her needs but when I tried it for a month a few years ago from memory I don't think it did anything for me.
I have only recently heard of Backpage and wanted to know which one of the two you ladies prefer?
I'm on the outskirts of Birmingham and can only see white clients, unfortunately other nationalities would draw too much attention from the neighbours as to what I'm doing, I'm happy with 2-3 clients a day and I prefer clients over 30 years old but I would lower that if they sound ok. Does either attract a certain type of client?
I'm undecided.... Viva Street? Backpage? or neither.
Thanks

Without a doubt Vivastreet.  It has changed from what it was a few years ago.  With backpage I think you would attract too many of the clients you do not wish to see and getting a lot of calls that take up your time but end up fruitless.

Thanks Lady Lust. I think it will be Viva Street then I'll try it for a month and see how I get on.

I went on Backpages a few weeks ago, and it did definitely bring some leads, but I agree with LL that they weren't desirable ones (like you I only see white clients, and that ad seemed to draw a lot of men from other ethnicities - who were also incapable of reading...). I edited it to include the URL to my website (which didn't seem to be an option when doing the ad), but I'm not sure it made much difference.

I'm going to try VivaStreet, though I wasn't too impressed at first glance.

With me, I used to find Backpage full of shite but the past month I have had quite a few decent ones.  I work from home so I also need to be extra careful cos of neighbours. One outcall I posted about who was quite generous but I've only been on it this time for about 3 weeks so it could go downhill herein.  Also I only paid a quid. With Vivastreet I had too many calls asking for dates and very poor English, that was for 2 months at the beginning of the year. It could've changed again though but was ?60 for a basic London ad.

Hey how do you post an ad on viva street when it says to choose a category it doesn't say escort and massages it only says adult entertainment ? X

I get so much from Vivastreet... I mean it does cost a bit, but you will make that back in 1,2,3! So thats my recommendation for sure!

When you choose your category go all the way to the bottom and there will be an option to choose escort & massage. Its just above adult entertainment. It's under free personals.

I do both viva street and backpage and get clients from both.

I would recommend doing both. Backpage is extremely cheap ads start from as little as ?1
