RM Platinum Ads

[lonely_john]

I always see the same guys announcing their services on top of page all week, every week. In my mind I debate if this is an act of desperation (I’ve never hired escorts ’pushing’ ads), or if these ads are really profitable and the escorts are as good as they say. Lately I have been also wondering if they engage customers asking them to pay for their ads every week in exchange for services. No idea about the costs but knowing RM, it’s probably not cheap

Clearly anyone not using the osmosis method of advertising must just be jonesing for his next fix.

How else do you expect a provider, especially a new provider, to gain new clientele without publishing an ad on RentMen or similar sites?

 

Ask yourself why every business advertises.

 

Hey thanks for educating me. What you say makes total sense. My doubt originated from the fact that these are not new guys. Their profiles were created in 2015 and 2017, and despite having platinum ads on top of the page every single day their latest reviews date mid-2019, that made me think something is off. But I’m not escort so I’m probably missing out some important factors. Is it expensive having these ads every day every week @Kurtis Wolfe @Kevin Slater ? Not having reviews makes me think they might be losing money on their advertisements efforts unless they have a generous client who agreed to pay for these permanent ads in exchange for services.

What percentage of clients do you think leave a review?

What percentage of customers leave reviews on their Amazon purchases?

 

Now ask yourself why you think they are vastly different percentages.

 

RentMen publishes their prices on their website. I'm still grandfathered into their $39.95 / month plan.

I wasn’t talking about the gold ads but the white ones that say Platinum but your are the expert so you are surely right. I just assumed that no recent positive reviews means no many recently satisfied customers and more who received just average service. I probably am wrong and I honestly don’t know why the vast difference of percentages ?

I review all and everything..from Amazon to RM...I had one man on RM remark that he read my reviews after I texted him to see his availability....

Wow, this is confirmation of what I’ve always thought that they qualify us too! Now I will have to submit a couple reviews to build my reputation as a client? ?

[thickornotatall]

So because you review all your purchases and hires it means? what? That your behavior is exactly like everyone else's in the world? The percentage of both is 100%?

What is your problem...I wrote something to answer a post and you think that's odd....?

[lonely_john]

Clearly that was not what was said...

 

#ShutitDown

Honey calm down. We have no idea. I had dome questions and I truly appreciate your professional feedback. It took me put pf my ignorance but tone it down, a grumpy expression wouldn’t look good in that handsome face of you. ?

[lonely_john]

Are you being condescending right now? I’ll answer that one for you. Yes, yes you were. Now that was incredibly rude.

 

Clearly English isn‘t your strongest skill and I pointed out to you that you mis-interpreted the post. THAT DOESN’T MEAN YOU CAN BE CONDESCENDING !!

Pumpkin, I swear to GOD that condescending was not the intent of my last response. I was just trying to reconcile the points of view. And yes, you are right my English is not the best, I don’t have a higher education degree, plus all the typos (can you imagine?) thanks for the observation, but you know what, I’m ok with that. I’m an old guy and I’ve lived a long life. A few typos won’t affect my sleep. The plain text exchange does not convey tone of voice. You seem to be in a bad mood and you read my words with a tone of voice you are imagining in your head. My honest advice: Consider this public forum a place where potential clients might read how you interact with others. Please rest assured that I have nothing against you. This is the 1st time I interact with you and I regret it ended up this way. Be well.

Different “marketing” methods work for different providers. Consider this marketing is not tailored specifically for you. You are not obligated to hire or even acknowledge a platinum ad. It is safe to assume the reoccurring platinum residencies are somewhat profitable as occupying the space is certainly not free. Do clients sometimes pay for them? maybe. Should that have anything to do with your hiring practices? No.

 

Additionally, ad position and quality of services do not correlate per your “good as they say comment.” Success using platinum is an individual by individual situation.

Thank you! Nothing more refreshing than a professional POV.

Being 'platinum' on rentmen is $1 per hour, minimum 12 hours, or can convert to per day and cover 30 days for $540. This is on top of the 79.99 or the 39.99 if you have been advertising before the price increase and not lapse in payment.

 

Being platinum puts you on top, which can pay off huge, or with relatively no change in client acquisition. Advertising is psychology, always being on top with platinum is appealing to the psychology of certain groups and mindsets of browsers. This is in addition to target level of inquires for an advertiser.

Reviews is psychology, in terms of what triggers someone to leave a review, regardless of the experience they had, and the convenience and usefulness of leaving one.

 

In terms of reviews as well consider these scenarios:

Someone could be leaving positive reviews for a mediocre performance if they feel they could use that as leverage to get discounts and take advantage.

Someone could also leave a bad review that just had an ax to grind and is more indicative of an ill tempered client than the escorts performance.

Thank you sexy! Wow, $540? This shit is expensive! I must be misguided and those escorts must be doing a ton of money. And yes, you are surely right thinking there are customers who will see ads on top of the page in a different way.

[lonely_john]

@lonely_john Then let me offer you some advice since you have no problem dishing out unsolicited and redundant advice. When someone points out that you didn't quite hit the nail on the head with your understanding of something, especially since you've admitted that English is on the poor side, maybe you should reevaluate your interpretation instead of being a c*nt because you're only going to get that attitude back at you. Now move along.

WOW @Kurtis Wolfe, what a beautiful response coming from a « service provider ». You must be doing pretty well with that professional attitude. Bye now and if by chance you see another post of mine just ignore it. I wouldn’t like to interact with you ever again.

[lonely_john]

There's an ignore button. Honestly service providers should never have to deal with bitchy attitudes, ever, including yours. I've had no problem firing clients and blacklisting potential clients for being bitchy. My stress and anxiety levels have greatly improved since a growing portion of the folks contacting service providers are doing so just to fuck us over.

You are already ignored. Now I suggest you stop commenting cause you are only digging yourself deeper by showing how bad you are at interacting with others. Not a nice trait to see on a service provider.

[lonely_john]

No No No. There's an actual ignore button. Click on my profile and there will be a button to ignore my posts. But please, continue to be ignorant in your own little box.

Yes yes yes. Use it and ignore me. But please continue to be ignorant of how horribly you are portraying yourself in front of everyone. Why do you keep arguing with me? Aren’t there any clients around to service? With that attitude I doubt it!

[lonely_john]

I have no reason to ignore you since I am only stating facts and the truth. You're the one coming off batshit crazy right now. I have client appointments this evening. I am human and not a robot. There's only so many clients I can see in a day and everyone here knows how difficult it is to get an appointment with me since I do limit the number of appointments I take on purpose. THE FACT YOU EVEN INSINUATE THAT I AM NOT EVEN A PERSON / HUMAN AND SHOULD BE WORKING NONSTOP SEEING MORE CLIENTS THAN I AM CAPABLE OF SEEING IS DISRESPECTFUL TO ME AND EVERY SERVICE PROVIDER. You should never be hiring, EVER.

Absolutely agree, I (and many others after reading this thread) will never be hiring you, EVER.

Rent boy... rather rentmen, charges escorts for platinum boost, ( cost is according to how long you want the boost), RM of the Day, Video of the day, Interview of the day, sponsor, basic or gold membership, (each has profile limitations with regard to access and functions available)... they charge you for banners, edit your profile and messages of words they don’t deem fit but allow all

Kinda of blatantly sexual language that defines working boys as prostitutes... they’ve reduced the “about me” section from 2500 characters to 250 leaving little room to define your business as something other than prostitution... Thwy have also recently added an IM platform that only allows you to write short sentences... in order to contact someone they the IM platform, you have to manually enter each contact by going in and out of the program to get someone’s exact profile name... Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t~

As the advertising system becomes more complex and difficult to use, escorts seem to use the platinum boost feature in the hopes people will contact them~

Their site has become grossly self profiting at the cost of the escort providers and Clients as well~

It’s also evident that they provide favors in advertising for certain escorts but, do not extend the same rights to others while charging them full rates or more for less service~

Platinum boost is a profit gaining marketing ploy rentboy used and now rentmen uses~ Escorts do succumb to the marketing tool psychology and pay for the platinum boost.... the more who do it the more gold members are pushed pages away... it’s like inflation... when suddenly the dollar isn’t big enough, you create a new currency that devalues the lower currencies~

When so many escorts become platinum that basic and gold membership have no value and platinum because standard, they will have to start using rentboy’s Diamond boost above the platinum to sell the product~

its very profit rapey...

Quite frankly, it’s ripping escorts off~

Whose making money off of platinum boost is the new rentboy, (rentmen)

Thats really good information to know - thank you ?.

 

If 'platinum' status is something that is purchased rather than earned, it reinforces the notion the we should give the most weight to information freely shared in this forum.

 

As much as RM is trying to get providers to succumb to their marketing tactics, RM is also implying that a client stands a greater chance of enjoying a 'platinum' experience by meeting one of the 'platinum' providers. I imagine this could lead to many disappointing experiences if their status is simply paid-for rather than merit-based.

Ya... it’s a pity because instead of reputation or content and reviews... now worth and value is placed on your position on the profile pages... platinum is suddenly something special when really, it’s something purchased by the escort~

It actually undermines the quality and safety of escorts and escort/Client experiences~

The rentmen site is crafting a social media platform that is both dangerous to Escorts and Clients by reducing things from an escorting platform to something much less~

[+ Tygerscent]

I thought most clients just use the filter to find what kinda guy they liked instead of scrolling through all the pages. I’ve never paid for platinum but I’m kind of curious to try it out for a month to see if being on the top page or Top 3 pages boost clientele

I know a number of Clients who won’t hire anyone from the platinum and prefer to give business to the guys in gold or basic because they are “less full of themselves”, potentially invest more of themselves into wheat they do because they are working harder for the recognition...

Platinum is really just rentmen trying to rape escorts over for more cash~ Juat like their other marketing incentives... Regardless of whether it’s Escorts or Clients paying for those extras... it’s still only rentmen that is profiting from it all~ Each Escort/Client that is paying an extra $500 to $1,000/Month to them, is losing $7,000 to $12,000/year in advertising overhead alone~ and then add on travel overhead, physical health, websites, clothing, toys, gear, events... Rentmen has become disrespectful and abusive to the escort/Client community~ All about their self profit now~

Now you make me wonder if most users when they are new to the website and see all the “platinum” escorts on top, they think it’s because they are the best reviewed escorts, not knowing that those positions were paid.

[+ Tygerscent]

I was thinking the same. If what you say of 250 characters, I have seen escorts with very long ‘about me’ sextions

I used to have a lot in my about me section but it also listed my travel services, counseling and seminar services, medical health advocacy services... I also listed my travel scheduled more completely and date or most referent STI screenings there. 250 characters is less than this reply
