Put an ad on Vivastreet this week.I've heard mixed reactions from girls here. I tried a simple £17.99 ad this this week and callers seem to be subnormal.  Most barely speak English. Does anyone use vivastreet sucessfully and how?

My procedure for the rest of the week is to cut and block immediately I hear a dopey voice. I have not used a human photo so presume there's a huge troll farm of vivastreet callers ready to pounce on the blandest ad.

OK - I've been suspended from AW and therefore entirely reliant on Vivastreet. I had a week of all the bells and whistles (including VIP, Featuring, Multi Repost and Postcode change) and then when that expired I paid £126 for Featuring, Multirepost and a link to my website - no change of location needed.

Here's the thing: The guys on Vivastreet are generally pretty naive. They've just googled and clicked the first search result.
And they're used to some very different experiences on Vivastreet. There are a ton of dodgy adverts on there promising the world and delivering a pretty low standard of service. A lot of these girls are not even making the bookings, themselves. Someone else is handling the phones for them. Often because their English is poor. These punters are used to being able to ask "What's your address" and being given the address straight away and just dropping by. They may have never come across the concept of screening! I can tell you from first-hand experience that they're not put off by visiting girls in a shared flat with a revolving door (don't ask LOL).

A lot of them are looking for cheap, quick service.

That said - when you get a proper client in, they will be generally pretty easy to please. They're just relieved to find someone who is genuine. If you actually look like your photos, speak English, and smile at them they will be over the moon.

Furthermore:

I'm afraid that it really does make a big difference to be both featuring and reposting. I'm in the West Midlands and there are SEVEN PAGES of featured profiles in Birmingham alone. They'd have to scroll past seven pages before finding the top regular advert.

However, with multi-reposting, I find that every time I bump, I tend to get a couple of calls. And, even though I'm in Walsall, I'm getting calls from guys all over the West Midlands/Birmingham. I'm not entirely sure how search works on Vivastreet but I am definitely being found outside of Walsall.

We've been a bit spoiled by AW and not having to pay (or pay much) to advertise. But if you ever find yourself on the wrong side of their arcane rules and capricious enforcement of those rules, you will find that Vivastreet is the only other site that is even a fraction as lucrative as AW.

thanks for all the input! i will try featuring and repost on vivastreet if i increase my advertisement. I know what you mean about the clients. When I was working for managed flats in london it was the exact same pattern you mentioned. The managers and the girls were all eastern european and they had 3-5 girls daily per shift. The manager, madame, pimp, receptionist or however you wanna call it, answers the phone and invite the clients to come without any screening procedure and always the photos used are random photos taken from the internet. The client comes and choses the girl. The manager even lies about the nationality so if client asks what the girls nationalities, before coming, she always said oh today we have greek, french, italian, spanish, etc... So far, other than me, everyone else was EE. The money is 50% for the flat and 50% for the girl. They always advertise on classifieds sites like VS. And services were very cheap in this kinda flats it was 30 for a quickie, 60 for half and 100 for 1h, but sometimes the clients bargained for 50 half and 80 one hour, and its accepted. You can imagine what kinda clients you would get at these prices, many of them lacked hygiene manners. Anyway i only worked like this for 2 weeks during a time i was in the process of getting a new AW profile and verified (i had been suspended earlier). Honestly there're dozens of flats like this in london, i dont know if in other cities as well. But if you ask me, i wouldn't work like that again. I didn't even feel safe having no screen procedure in place. Just "come in" attitude, without caring who the client is. Having said that, if i advertise in VS, i will still charge my normal rates which is 90 for half and 140 for one hour, even if it means getting very few clients from there.

They don't let you be explicit about your services and guys don't read anything. They will call you to ask you about rates and services. Have a spiel ready. You can read it to them or have something to copy and paste. Have one with approximate postcode and landmark, one with a list of services offered and rates. I have another that says what I *don't* do. It will save you time and energy.

I had 4 bookings from Vivastreet yesterday and they were all lovely. I just had to talk to a lot of people I didn't want to meet to get them.

Spiel?

Hi all

I generally don't use this forum but I've found it's full of great advice. I've been escorting on and off for over 7 years had a four year gap and have recently returned to it.  I advertise mainly on adultwork however I no longer offer penetration, I have been getting about 4 clients a day although today has been dire! What are the best sites to advertise on other than Adult Work.
Lots of love ladies x

what are you offering without penetration? is it massage, is it spankee services? then you should probably should look in directories that are for these services

So my two cents from using both vivastreet and aw is I get more clients from viva hands down. Granted most of the clients from there either have seriously poor hygiene(I send them to the shower straight away) or a lot of them will haggle for £10 to £20 difference 

But I noticed, when I raised my rates to £150ph/200ph(incall/outcall) it reduced the hagglers even though it didnt totally get rid of them.

To get the best rates for advertising it's best to use their sales agents that will give you 50% off total advertising cost but even with that I'm still paying £115 weekly.
 AW clients can be nice or time wasters and since they're spoilt for choice many of them come across like their doing you a favour my coming to you. I've never met more pretentious men.

I have to say though the costs of advertising on aw is cheaper. I've still not figured out how to really promote myself on the platform other than available today and paying for phone number daily which works out to be £6 daily.
If you ladies have any ideas please let me know.

In regards to AW, add local escorts to what you already have.
What advertising options do you use in viva?

Please can somebody advise if Acemassage is still good for London.

Yes, it is. Most 'referral' traffic to my website comes from Ace.
In terms of actual bookings, now and again I get someone saying they found me on Ace.
