What Services could a startup offer for providers to increase profit?

[+ glycine]

Hey there! I'm underway with starting a business that will work to optimize the profitability of men in the adult/influender/fitness/modeling industry.

I would LOVE to interview anyone who is a provider here, and I am also willing to do unpaid work for the first few months until I can prove success.

I have a MSc and YEARS of qualitative/quantitative research and I'm very hopeful I can start something great!

Being a fitness influencer vs an escort or masseur are two completely different things with very different needs. One has a predominate focus on social media marketing while the others are not. You would probably want to also present ideas on what you're planning on offering rather than just  saying that you will give general help as that doesn't say much.

This Is a hard question to answer, especially openly; most clients don’t want to pay more, and anything said that frames it like that would be seen negatively. 

in my opinion, what was lost with rentboy closing and SESTA/FOSTA passing was the ability to get our profiles seen by more people.

even though rentboy was already closed, when SESTA/FOSTA passed, men4rentnow closed, Craigslist closed down the m4m section, Rentmen started calling providers “pornstars” and all other weird shit happened that made things more difficult.  

i like to use the analogy of visiting a beach town (since I’m from Houston, it would be Galveston). There’s virtually no competition there, but seeing as they used to have a gay bar, there is probably some demand on the island or the mainland. We aren’t really able to run paid search, display, or social media ads, but getting eyes in front of people in smaller cities would be great so the only cities worth traveling to aren’t big metroplexes.
