Would anybody use this site?
« on: 01 April 2009, 08:44:53 pm »
I've received an email asking if I could put this in our "where to advertise" section. It's a bit Adultwork-y, but it is owned by the same people who own TAC Amateurs, who have been around for as long as I can remember. I know some people swear by Adultwork, what do you think about this: http://www.findanamateur.com/

I'd use it if it worked. I think it would be premature to put it in the article before finding out if it was effective for anyone though, how about suggesting they post in seeking/offering and it can be upgraded if we get good feedback?

If you accept credits on that site, you only get to keep 52.5% of the cash. :(

Well, I do sympathise with them. They're having to pay their merchant fees which are probably high as it's an adult business, then VAT takes a chunk out, then there's advertising and then they can make a profit. It makes AW's 30% cut seem quite reasonable.

Hi All,

I just wanted to quickly introduce myself.

I am one of the Find An Amateur owners.

I noticed there is possibly a slight confusion developing in this thread.

If store owners sell movies / picture sets or webcam sessions then the commission is 60% for all non EU transactions and any UK ones are lower due to the wonderful VAT fees that have to be paid.

So we are on par with the number one video clip stores website  in terms of revenue split which is Clips 4 sale.

If you advertise your escort services this is completely free.

It is also completely free for a potential client to search our system, find your details, and contact you.

If you reach an agreement with the client and provide services, you get 100% of that fee. We take absolutely nothing.

It is also completely free for you to appear as featured escorts and appear as a new escort online. Featured escorts appear in rotation.

Therefore it is 100% completely free for you to advertise, liase with and meet clients, via our search system and to reconfirm you get 100% of any fee you agree.

I would just like to add that Find An Amateur has only been live since the 8th December 2008 so is a very new site but growing quickly.

However we have been in business online with other website ventures which are all still alive and kicking since 1999 and therefore have several years experience on how to market, develop and maintain our sites and systems.

So Find An Amateur will offer you a stable & growing advertising opportunity and all it will cost you is the time to setup your profile and liase with any clients to develop your opportunites thereafter.

I hope that helps clarify the situation and if you have any questions whatsoever please ask.

Craig

Yes, I didn't mean to give the impression that it would cost money to use the site as an escort, sorry if anyone was confused. I had a look at the rates because I sometimes use adultwork to take deposits and I was wondering if your site would be a good alternative.

It's nice to know that all your advertising options are currently free.

Hi craig

Is this a sister site to the long established Adult Coalition? (TAC)?

Also, I wonder if for escorts (as opposed to a adult models) ,find an amateur may not be the right name for a site to use. Most of us probably see ourselves as professional, in either or both senses of the word.

Just a thought.

Hi again and thanks for the warm welcome.

Yes Find An Amateur is an addition to the TAC sites.

We have a TAC Amateurs 2 now aswell as the original TAC one.

I appreciate what you are saying regarding the word professional and the new site name.

Do you think this would deter people who work in this area from using it?

That is good to hear as TAC is well established.

Re deterring people: Possibly. That said, to many, adult work looks very amateur and does have more of a bad reputation as being amateur/full of wasters (both genders) than any other site really and it is still popular.

I personally would not use a site called find an amateur but I am a bit of a marketing snob. :) so perhaps not typical.

Now that's been brought up, I would have to also agree that "findanamateur" doesn't really send the correct message if you're aiming for escorts to advertise with you. To me the word amateur implies that you're gearing towards people that are doing this for fun; swingers, party goers, etc.

Then again, I'm not all that keen on Adultwork either, I'm afraid I'm a bit of a snob too.

I may be less of a snob. I had the same initial reaction to the name and I think it's not ideal, but I wouldn't expect an ad there amoungst all other sites I advertise on to cause problems. Sure, some guys might think "amateur escorts, yay!", but they'll soon be disillusioned by the rates. I think most people are smart enough to realise that they're looking at an amateur porn site that also carries escort ads.

Hi, just putting my tuppence in here too.

My first reaction was -amateur- sorry, I'm a professional!

This is not a slight on the site or it's quality and whilst I can appreciate this being a new addition to the original site and therefore carries a name relating to that, I can't seeing it having much appeal to an established prossie.
