Do you have a web site hun?
Trust me sometimes men forget numbers or where they found you and e mail addresses. Where as if they liked you they will never forget your name. A web page can always bring them back to you when they forget other details. You may also move later down the road. I have moved 3 times in my 7 years and men find me again but it all takes time.
If you are just starting out it too takes time. But you will find that a web page is your foundation. After that advertise advertise advertise. Never stick to one place either. lol Trust me I have 7 windows open now and my e mail open and my yahoo as well just in case someone needs something. Keep the volume up too if you are alone and doing something. Men do appreciate quick responses.
Another thing you should do is take a break after a couple of months from one board and then when you come back you will find that men will have forgotten about you or there will be new possibilities. This will also let you see which places are better for you to stick with longer and more often.
Also get yourself a banner and make sure it is on good boards. I paid several hundreds of dollars for slightly over a year on one such board that is really good to advertise on. Then there became a gradual decline from there a sure sign to disappear for awhile, but I will be back. It is like a game of cat and mouse sometimes in the face of men and other times gone. They also do tend to miss you when you are gone. Or so it appears. Well I have had them recently e-mail me asking if all is ok so that is more proof.
That is funny too because I still post about 3 times a day which just shows some posts get missed if the place is too busy.
Now onto guest books if you find places that have guest books well sign them because who ever you get there will be all your own and nobody elses.
Be organized, if using a questionnaire when men e mail you have it all planned out this also makes it more speedier. There is nothing worse than having to type the same thing over and over and over again. Then you can also forget some important details you will also have things worded more profesionally so it will not come across the wrong way. ie.... "Could you please forward me your age and interests and let me know you have read the rules on my web page(s) Interests could be any of the number of things outlined in my web pages that you are looking for in services. I do like to make sure we are compatible on these grounds and that you understand my rules prior to giving out my contact information. Also if you are on any boards that I am on it is in your benefit to provide this
info to me if you are in good standing."
Just a sample of mine. Granted with that I still do not understand why some men still tell me thier interests is fishing, hiking, reading and television. lol
Always show the good side of yourself there is men that take a very long time in searching for the sp that they wish to see. I totally agree that posting and blogs etc... are helpful in finding the right kind of Gentlemen. It gives the men a feel of who you are inside. There has actually been men that have told me they were watching my posts for over two years and then voila I say something that breaks the ice and they decided to see me. Web pages do let men know what services you offer but do not let men know who you are as much as communication.
Now about services make sure men realize exactly what it is you have to offer. If it is not listed clearly sometimes they just move on to one that they know for sure offers what they want. Never offer a service you feel uncomfortable with men seem to know when they are with you that you were not too loving of it. Most men will not like phoney.
But overall with your age I think you should do quite well. Now there is men who preffer more mature but I know most men preffer younger. Just get out there and have patience.
Oh and do not let men wangle you in prices if they really want to see you trust me they create other e mail addresses and will re-contact you. I had one not long ago who actually used copy and paste and sent the precise same letter to begin he changed the e-mail address one he used full name the next only the beginning initial similar last name. I thought it looked fishy and double checked. Then he tried to pretend he never contacted me before. lol Anyhow, set a price and stick to it. There is men out there who feel that if cost is too low that they get poorer services. Personally I feel you can get good and bad service in any price range.
But you will require to see less men if it is slightly higher. I do not mean to charge a thousand or a million but trust me I have seen web pages where sp's charge that much. I guess that is one way to reach your target and see only one a week. ;) Don't laugh though if some men think you are hot enough they will pay it.
I have had a few haggle me saying that if I lessen my price they can send me more clients I just answer back why would I want to see more men for less when I could book men that pay full price why lose thier business to accept yours. That always does seem to be the way when men like that call up or make that offer you will find your phone ringing like crazy.
Well, I hope I have touched base on a few suggestions you like. But the bottom line you have to do what works best for you.
