If we can't advertise on the 'platform', how is anybody going to know that the person claiming to be us (to whom they're being asked to send money despite having never seen us in person) actually is us? Anybody could set up an account claiming to be me - it's not as if any of us work under our legal names, and I doubt very much anybody is going to be sending you their personal information any more than we would any other random internet strangers.
I can see why you thought it would be a good idea (and I'm sure your 'team' think it's great too), but it's doomed
because it's superfluous. As has already been posted
ad nauseum, there are already ways to get upfront deposits if we need them, none of them involve giving aforementioned random internet strangers money and for the rest, why would we want to lose 5% of our earnings and have to wait for the rest when we can just take a phone booking, have a punter turn up within the hour, pay us, punt and bog off again with everybody having got what they wanted?
If you're travelling hundreds of miles without any payment upfront to cover at least your expenses if not your travel time, more fool you. An awful lot of being successful in business isn't patting yourself on the back for the things you get right, it's recognising and pinpointing where you're going wrong and being self-aware enough to do something about it.
you would be better off starting your own escort agency, at least you have a chance, if you do your research regarding screening, safety, advertising, marketing, drivers etc however this is just my opinion. There are too many things that could go wrong with your current idea.
To be fair, as crap as the above idea is, it's still better than encouraging yet another clueless pimp to start yet another bloody useless agency. As for fewer things potentially going wrong, most people would count winding up in court being prosecuted for controlling prostitution for gain and having all their assets seized and their bank accounts frozen under POCA a fairly bad day at the office.
