Hey there!

I'm here to introduce a new platform I've been working on for the past months. It's called Red Street and is currently live in London. Our goal is simple: eliminate time wasters, promote safety, make transactions easier. So, this is what it's all about.

Clients pay in advance. But not quite. Let me explain. If you charge £200 per hour, your price at Red Street is 🌹200. Clients buy 🌹200 with their credit cards or bitcoin and they request a booking with you. By doing that, they essentially demonstrate an interest and readiness to pay. When you meet, he simply clicks ''release roses'' and its all yours. Then we send you a bank transfer to the amount of roses you have I think its great because it gives safety to both parties: you know that if he paid, he is serious and he knows that his money is not gone until you actually meet.

Its free for escorts. You decide how much to charge. We run by charging a % over your fees, just like AirBNB for example. So, if you say you want to charge £200 per hour, the client sees and pays £230. You can also see reviews that the client had from previous providers.

Here's a quick video:

And here's the website itself:

To register as a provider, simply click on Adult Entertainers link to the top. If you have any queries, just message me here or e-mail me at info@redstreet.co.uk

Any feedback would be extremely helpful and appreciated.

Cheers!

 

Hey there!

Clients pay in advance. But not quite. Let me explain

.. explains how clients do in fact pay in advance, starting with handing over significant sums to this clueless bunch.

If you charge £200 per hour, your price at Red Street is 🌹200. Clients buy 🌹200 with their credit cards or bitcoin and they request a booking with you.

They get charged £230 for that, yes? WTF would they pay £230 to see someone charging £200, or is it just the very stupid clients that you are aiming for?

Then we send you a bank transfer to the amount of roses you have

Can you think of a single reason why someone might want to trust you with their bank details?

I think its great because

"I make 15% off your income and haven't thought of the VAT implications - the whole amount will be my turnover as far as HMRC are concerned, so in the unlikely event that I find about 400 idiots I will have to start charging VAT - nevermind that I will be controlling prostitution for gain and face up to seven years in jail"?

it gives safety to both parties: you know that if he paid, he is serious and he knows that his money is not gone until you actually meet.

WTF is the advantage for anyone here over accepting cash at the very start of a booking (or indeed asking for a deposit) and WTF would anyone go through with a booking in the hope that a client will say 'yes, it happened' rather than deny it and not have to pay? Oh yes, you are targeting stupid clients...

Any feedback would be extremely helpful

If you paid for any of this, especially for accounting or legal advice, get your money back on grounds of professional incompetence now.

All right, so where to begin with.

First of all, everything about what we do is legal. We have discussed the matter with two independent lawyers that specialize in the field. Legally speaking, we are not taking a cut from your work. Clients are paying to see your contact details.

The purpose of our business is not to serve as a booking app. I know that this is unrealistic. And unnecessary. But I know that payment providers have repeatedly discriminated sex workers and I believe we came up with a solution to this.

We are a legal business, with bank account, and we are approved by master card and visa to process payments for the purpose. You are absolutely safe to provide bank details with us and you are at the very least much, much safer than to give it to a random client to send a deposit.

I think that you also kind of take it for granted that clients are aware of what the price is. If they find you on Red Street and like you, they'll book you. This is especially true for outcalls where clients might be lazy to go look for an ATM and would value the convenience. Business travelers frequently book with their corporate credit cards and report it as a travel expense of some sort. Its much better than withdrawing cash.

Because payments are through our platform, we are essentially the only place online where reviews are genuine for sure. We know for sure that if there's a review, clients has definitely visited the escort. And the same goes vice versa. If you see a previous provider left a review, you know its genuine.

And they approved your Terms and Conditions? Really??

You won't have a problem saying who they are if you are confident of all this.

Legally speaking, we are not taking a cut from your work. Clients are paying to see your contact details.

You are profiting from arranging prostitution: you have already said payment doesn't happen until the client OKs it..

That's control for gain, just as with an agency.

It's one of the reasons people want to be paid in cash...

Do Visa / Mastercard know you are dealing with prostitution?

I am not sure where they are from - "roses" are what some clueless US escorts use to pretend they're not doing sex for cash, obviously - but other bits are Australian.

But "We bring the escort industry to the 21st century!"

And "we will tell you which of your pictures and services are the most interesting to clients"!

"We can even tell you how to change your prices during the week to maximize your earnings"!

Plus "YOU NO LONGER HAVE TO DEAL WITH NON-SERIOS CALLS!"

And don't forget that "You no longer need to take phone calls in foreign languages"!!

Priceless

Thank you Ian, for your tireless looking-at of the website so we don't have to .

Hi OP,

How much experience of being a sex worker do you have, yourself? And the rest of your development team?

I am not sure where they are from - "roses" are what some clueless US escorts use to pretend they're not doing sex for cash, obviously - but other bits are Australian.

Ah, the sole director (and company secretary, although you don't need one of those any more) of the company behind this is a Bulgarian student.
