I have never said i had a NEW idea. Offering Escorts free advertising is not trying to get rich off the fruit of the girls loins!

How do you propose to make money then? Charging clients doesn't work.

I understand your mentality

Foolish, foolish boy. You do not know me, and understand precisely fuck all about my 'mentality', or apparently anything else.

but you have not even addressed the question. If you have nothing to contribute then fair enough. But to start being so negative......... its tiring.

If this tires you out, you're definitely dabbling in the wrong industry. Spitting your dummy out because nobody patted you on the back and said what you wanted to hear ('Ooh, what a wonderful and unique idea!', etc etc); this is not the same as not making a contribution. To answer the original question in the most direct way possible, what I want from a new directory website is for it to quietly disappear, preferably without sending me any spam emails. I usually achieve the first part easily but sadly, rarely the second.


I hope your not negative towards me on every thread i post on!

Why exactly are you posting on a support/advice forum for prostitutes unless it is to tout your business idea?

Yes, I would just like to second Amy's NO SPAM suggestion. If you're determined to go ahead and make an escort directory site (please, please don't try to take bookings for girls via email. That's the LAST thing us indie's want, someone who doesn't know how to screen to our own personal specifications getting in the way!) then at least *don't email me about it*. Why would anyone starting a legitimate venture think, "Oh, I know, I'll annoy the crap out of a bunch of people as my first step in advertising myself"?!

There's really not much a bloke can do to help out the average independent escort. Driving and security is about it, and that will probably be more successful to you if you stick with the escorts you've said you already know and worked with, because they might trust you. You can't really do a secretary job, taking calls or emails, because it would be off-putting to clients (as I think you already noted) and also, would take away such a lot of our freedom of choice. Unless you asked the indie before responding to any client request, which would just be a silly faff and she might as well do it all herself in the first place.

I believe that running a successful escort directory site requires a hell of a lot of time and cash for quite a while before you see anything back. If you're that brilliant at the Interwebs, perhaps consider launching a site for the general public about, I dunno, garden furniture, where you can make lots of revenue from Google ads and don't have to deal with a bunch of snarky women. ;) I mean, Women.

Hi John,

Im so sorry you seem to have rec'd  a fair bit of negative feedback regarding ur thread/initial question. its such a shame. I have found this site to be a god send to me in terms of support/advice/ideas since joining it only a few days ago now. From what i've read so far about the founders of this site it's run by experience working ladies who have been in the business for some years so they do know what their talking about. I dont know if any of these founders are providing you with any advice because I dont actually know who the original founders are !!! t all seems they you appear to have put a few people's backs up with your suggestion, probably because they might be seeing what your offering as a major thread in some way.......................... I personally have NOT found these so called free advertising site of any benefit to me what so ever. This business is so cut throat its unreal a times. There is sooooo much competition out there on these free advertising sites that its realy hard to get any regular business from advertising on them, its very hit and miss at times.

I think you will encounter negative feedback from probably around 80% of working women out there, purely through their own bad experiences with men in this business which is only to be expected, however I would like to add to that, unless you give someone a fighting chance you'll never know, bottom line is the working girl is always in control of her money and if something does'nt look or seem right it usually is'nt ........ gut feeling goes a long way.

I will continue to watch ur thread with interest, hoping and praying that you dont continue to keep getting negative feedback and sargastic comments, thats a complete waste of time in my opinion !!

Good Luck John

P.S Like you said earlier, you did'nt have to introduce yourself as a guy, you could have posed as a working girl and no one on here would have been non the wiser ..................................

John

I always suggest Ladies who are looking for places to advertise, google relevant keywords and advertise on what comes up, so if you really want to make this thing work, get to the first page of google, for every possible keyword, and they will come running  :)

Im really surprised at that, as a career escort of many years now, its the same free sites time and time again that bring me work, I stopped paying punternet for advertising a few years ago, without a noticable difference, and as the Janitor suggested, if your appearing on the sites that come up on google, you will be found, I would be happy to offer you advice on the free sites that work for me personaly if thats any help to you, just pm me

Me too. Also, having a blog somewhere on your site is a really good and free idea. (Not saying that to you, anjali, I know you have one already!) But maybe another idea for a new girl to try. My blog's relatively new, but clients seem to love it, as well as my Twitter account where I babble about nonsense. ;D

If you want to offer a site, look at Adultwork and cut out the bareback. Its an amazing tool and more or less free depending how you use it.

Also punterlink, punternet.....

 Hello again.

 nice to see that some people can be positive.   Thank you for that.

 No toys being thrown out of prams this end.  ;)
 
 The thing is, I have been in this industry in the past, I know how things work.  I am not going into this as a complete novice with no idea.  It is a simple idea, which two parties can benefit.
 
I simply asked a question, a question that I thought would give some Escorts the chance to put forward some constructive idea of what THEY would like.  Things that would HELP them? you see?  It really is not complicated. Why some people went off on a tangent about other things says allot about someones mentality, and that is fact.

 Instead of leaving the thread alone or adding some positive ideas, some people  have used my thread to get on a soap box and have taken the thread off in a  different direction.  If you have a problem with men in the business, start a thread and vent your anger there., please.

 This is a great forum and should be used as a tool to improve Escorts business, safety, etc.  Don't spoil it please.

 I do realise that the way I type doesn't always come across how I would like.  I never mean to sound sarcastic, or like my  head is stuck up My own ass!

 Thanks again for the positive feed back  ;D

I have no problem whatsoever with men in this business; my accountant is a man, and the majority of the sites I advertise on are run by men (Punterlink, Punternet, Puntingzone, UK Belles and so on). There are men who make valuable contributions to this forum, some escorts, others not. You have made it clear that you know very little about 'how things work' within the industry by your very presence here - did you read the thread I linked to earlier? If you want to start a directory and you know so much about it, why not just get on with it?

The only thing currently spoiling the forum is your patronising attitude towards the ladies on it who have the real experience of the job (including taking care of their advertising, bookings and so on). We have told you what we want from a directory, and if that isn't good enough then why stay here and flog a dead horse? This is a support site for escorts, not wannabee pimps (male or female) and if you want to know about building a successful advertising resource then I would suggest a far more constructive approach would be to contact some of those who have already done it.

Actually, I have a great business idea.  No one else thought of it and I am sure it will have unique selling potential.  I am going to set up an ecommerce site selling Giant Bonsais!  So excuse me peeps but I am now going to find some gardening forums and tell everyone there that I know a few gardeners and pretend to ask for their advice but then jump down their throat if they dare to mock my master plan of offering High End Giant Miniature Trees. 

Oh and I will endear myself even further on such forums by telling the posters there what the purpose of their boards is and how they are spoiling the spirit of it.  Before I go, does anyone want a giant cherry tree bonsai, got one fine specimen in my garden.   What about a Fig Tree ? or does no one give a fig...?

Sorry to quote you so much Amy, I'm like some sort of annoying kid sister. :P But this point is one I've not seen mentioned before despite how much sense it makes.

I think asking Galahad at Punternet or Thingy (sorry) at Punterlink would be a really great way to get started, whu2005! Or maybe launch your site and get it a bit successful, then pop a news item on it asking for escorts' ideas for improvement? That way, they can reply if they want to and you'll be reaching your real target audience. :)

You'll need to expect a bit of criticism when you come on to a support forum for escorts and ask for advice on how to start up a directory/agency site. To be frank, why blokes keep coming on SAAFE and doing this, I don't know. I can only assume it's because it's frequented by mainly women.
First and foremost, it is a support and advice site for escorts. So it would follow that you would receive comments from escorts here that have been working for a few years who know exactly what they want and aren't afraid to express their feelings when asked.

Amy and BH could've been a tad nicer to you but yes, as the other link demonstrates, we've heard it all before. And no disrespect, but it's boring. The highlighted link is not the first time we've been asked this question. Hence the ladies' short temper with you.

And it's nothing to do with being a bloke. Contrary to what justme68 says, you already pretty much revealed you were a bloke early on in your posts. And your member name, WHU2005 just looks it's short for West Ham United 2005. So I kind of figured you were a bloke from the off.

The problem is you happen to be a guy, who thinks they've got the next best thing in escort directories to sliced bread. If you really are serious, drop a line to the webmasters you've been given as examples. They've been going for years and as a bloke it might be best to get a male perspective on what a directory might entail.

 Dear ,oh dear, oh dear

 This is  my last post on this thread. I don't need or want to offend anyone, but,  it really is like talking to a brick wall. Two ladies on here in particular are like pitballs with a bone! It's not healthy ladies.

 You just keep going on, being sarcastic and having a go, and you are now making yourselves look completely thick because you  are arguing, and accusing me of things i have not done!

 I do not think, or have i said, that I have the next big thing, or the next best thing since sliced bread, I have never claimed to have a unique angle which will make me loads of money. I have not asked how to set up a directory. Read the title!!!!

 All I done was ask you what you would like??? get it? what would HELP Escorts. Yes, HELP?  be of interest to them when they advertise their services.  I have personally had to help/support girls (Escorts) in the past, and wanted only opinions on what WOULD BE GOOD FOR YOU?   and what did this thread get instead? Accusations, assumptions, sarcasm and pop shots.

 Brandy,   If I would have wanted to portray myself as a female escort (Not that this matters or was every a consideration) but i would obviously have chosen a different name and typed in a different manner.  That's all nothing though.

 The bottom line is that I was trying to get some positive feed back for something that could possibly be of help to Escorts, and that didn't happen , for whatever reason.

 I'm sure you will try and make me the bad guy here. Or maybe you will be a bit more grown up and leave this thread alone?

 Never mind .

 I will not post on this thread any more.

 Thanks for the replies though, I actually did learn allot  ;)

Thank f*ck for that.

So you're a doctor too? Fascinating.

You just keep going on, being sarcastic and having a go, and you are now making yourselves look completely thick because you  are arguing, and accusing me of things i have not done!

You do realise that by resorting to personal attacks on other posters, you have immediately lost your argument, assuming you ever had one. And incidentally, before you start calling intelligent, successful, independent businesswomen thick, you might want to brush up on your spelling, punctuation and grammar; it's an absolute disgrace. Could you point us towards where anybody accused you of doing anything? As even you don't seem to have any concrete ideas about what you're doing, how on earth would any of us know?

I do not think, or have i said, that I have the next big thing, or the next best thing since sliced bread, I have never claimed to have a unique angle which will make me loads of money. I have not asked how to set up a directory. Read the title!!!!

Accusations, assumptions, sarcasm and pop shots.

Bless. Temper temper. For what it's worth, I imagine that virtually all escorts on here and elsewhere know very well what they want. They just can't see why there would be any reason to tell you, and the arrogant, blinkered assumption that we need your 'help' in some way is the major reason why you are pissing people off.

I will not post on this thread any more.

Thanks for the replies though, I actually did learn allot  ;)

Hallelujah. Although I'll believe it when I see it  ::).
