Better than most provider websites.

And I say go ahead and "Milk" every avenue of income in the hobby.

Lily Blair · 01-23-2011, 05:46 PM

I'm not milking anything! It's a completely free site!

Lily, nothing against you or your site, it just happens to be a pet peeve of mine. One goes to a site to see about perhaps booking a lady and then finds she's trying to milk you before you even start. Bad vibe and for me, the end of the search.

Why is that Mr. Bull? She is not charging to access her site. She is allowing access to those she have seen before.

Lily Blair · 01-23-2011, 05:56 PM

K, once more, no one can pay to access the members only gallery. It's reserved for those I've seen before. No extra charge. Veda doesn't even build sites that request money for access. They're just face pictures. You can't buy them. You pay for nothing. Free site. Free free free free free.

Naomi4u · 01-23-2011, 05:58 PM

Even if you were charging for access to that area I don't see anything wrong with it. I know Amy Taylor charges $100 for 30 day access.. for example. Just sayin'

Anyways, Nice site!

Good to know, Love! It just doesn't convey that way...which I believe was JB's point. The medium's the message...

Lily Blair · 01-23-2011, 06:02 PM

What about it conveys anything different. Where does it ask for money? Am I crazy or do MANY escort sites have a FREE members only area for more personal things?

Lang Sicherung · 01-23-2011, 06:03 PM

Your new site is beautiful and classy. Just like you

Easy to navigate to the essential info, men like that!

And I love your pic on the home page.

(p.s. bring that feather mask next time)

Sorry, I was trying to be funny with a Pun after John Bull's Post.

The lock icon with the "Members Only" label typically means...get out your credit card....in adult content land. Just sayin....

If that's NOT the case here...might want to consider replacing "Members Only" with "Known Gentlemen"..."Previous Playmates"...or something similar.

Lily Blair · 01-23-2011, 06:33 PM

I'm not sure it's a good idea to infer that I keep pictures of clients on my site (which is what labeling a gallery "previous playmates" would do).

I've seen tons of sites with free members only areas. I've seen absolutely NO sites with free "known gentlemen" areas. All I can do is build a site that uses the most common escort site practices. I guess I can't do anything about the guys who make odd assumptions

discreetgent · 01-23-2011, 06:35 PM

It could be as easy as putting a note that Members Only means previously seen gents.

I've seen a lot of ladies' sites with "members only" that ALSO make it CLEAR (per DG's suggestion or some similar choice of words) that all you have do is be known (either via a previous session or pre-screened) to the lady in order to receive access to the "private" pics. Now...

I've ALSO seen a LOT of ladies' sites that attempt to use "private pics" and other exclusive content as a supplemental revenue stream. I'm comfortable with either approach...as long as the expectations are unambiguous.

JB seemed to believe you were in the latter category. You asked what might lead him to that conclusion. I went to your sight for a look-see...saw what he was basing the conclusion on...and I've told you.

Do with the information what you will. Good luck to 'ya!

My site is like any regular escort site. Plenty of ladies reserve face pictures for gentlemen they've seen before. Some refuse to show them to anybody! Did you think my site was a paid membership site or something??? What exactly did I put on the site that is so offensive?

If you're going to a site to find out about a lady, try actually reading the site. My site is totally free. You can't buy membership, you can only get it if we have already met and the only thing membership affords you are pictures of my face.

With the exception of a "celebrity" I've figured even if someone tried to charge $, they weren't making serious money off it anyway so why bother....

I always assumed these member sections were free to either clients or screened potential clients...

That said as Sissy stated "Members Only" = "get out your credit card" as far as perception goes

Lily Blair · 01-23-2011, 07:01 PM

Well the site isn't built to put text in the photo areas, which s why it's explained in three other areas of the site, including when you click on it and request access. Don't know how I can make it more clear. I guess those who assume and run away will miss out.
