Websites to find providers?

[MCR]

What are some of the good websites you find your providers at?  Rentmen seems to be the main one.   I've had no luck on mintboys or Romeo.  Anything else out there?

If you’re in the UK Sleepyboy.com is the main source for escorts.

In Europe the main site is Hunqz, the professional side of the gay dating site romeo.com (it used to be called GayRomeo, then changed to Planetromeo, now it's just Romeo). 

You need to create an account on Romeo first before you can view the Hunqz profiles. You cannot view the profiles without being logged in (which is possible on rentmen)

What is a good website for Latin America, specifically for Colombia?  I am planning a trip.  My straight friends tell me that there are ample very hot women available there at reasonable rates.  I am hoping the same is true for male providers ...

In Colombia I’ve used RM with good results and https://co.skokka.com/ once. https://www.escortsbuk.com/  was recommended to me but I have not used it yet.

Wondering what clients think. If a similar site covered your local area, would you use something like this to find your m4m service providers for massage, waxing, and the like?

No.

Tal Sharone launched a new site (link below) to promote various spa, massage, skincare, barber, esthetician and other service providers. He keeps hounding me to join and pay subscription fees for ad space but I can’t see the value yet. It’s pretty small right now, and for the moment only local to San Diego, LA, and Palm Springs.

A couple of decades ago, there was a site dedicated to m4m masseurs in the San Francisco area.  I no longer remember the URL, but I did use that site a lot to find masseurs.  If I'm not mistaken, there was no Rentmasseur at the time so my three main sites for finding masseurs were that one, Masseurfinder and Craigslist.

If a new site dedicated to my area appeared and I heard about it, I would certainly use it.  The key issue is how clients are going to discover the new site.  Unless the site owner has figured out how to drive traffic and can demonstrate that to you, as an advertiser I fear you'd just be throwing your money down the drain (or, rather, just helping to support someone financially who really isn't doing anything for you).

I'd likely make use of it. In my view, the more options available, the better. Ultimately, my decision would hinge on the organization and ease of navigation of the site.

.. which surely suggests that the site promoter should be offering established providers a fee-free initial period to check out whether the site produces business for them.  And that should work for the promoter as well, who will get more providers on board sooner, thus accelerating the reaching of critical mass when he can start charging to be listed.

^Yes, this is among my chief concerns.

He’s advertising on TV apps (see his capture below) and trying to leverage some SEO. I thought the point is that you don’t have commercials on most of these apps, but the free ones you would still have ads. SEO I think would be more effective, but I’m no marketing guru. 

Considering how specific the product is, I wonder how he would get it to the right people…which leads me to believe his strategy relies on creepy stealth marketing data bought and sold by small and large corporations alike. I know some of you here place a high premium on privacy and discretion, so I imagine some would be upset seeing a targeted ad for gay massage on your tv apps just because of the content you view or the products you buy in your daily life. I know the over abundance of personal data floating around bothers me sometimes.

I asked about impressions, click throughs and similar data, and he shared these numbers:

 

Pardon my ignorance, but what does that second screen capture mean?  For example, does it simply mean that 13.5 million Roku Channel viewers have been served an ad for his site?  If so, then I have to say I wouldn't be impressed if I were a prospective advertiser on the site.  There doesn't seem to be any targeting at all towards either the right community (gay men) or geographic area. 

I agree with Occasional's post above: Far more meaningful would be to give prospective advertisers a free trial period of, say, three months.  Require that the ad include the phrase "when reaching out to X, tell him you found him on www.whatever.com ."  The site owner could, of course, suggest that advertisers ask where the client saw their ads in case the clients neglect to include this information.  The proof is in the pudding, as they say.

Simon, I noticed you also have a MasseurFinder website listing but you don't seem to advertise it.  How much business do you get on that site compared to RentMasseur? And do you different business, such as more erotic requests on RM vs MasseurFinder?  I am curious because I was told RM is much cheaper than MasseurFinder  but some providers prefer to exclusively advertise on MasseurFinder. even if it is more expensive - or am I wrong about the cost?  So I am suspecting that a MasseurFinder only provider is strictly for therapeutic only, and no sensual or erotic.

Thanks for the info, Simon.  Quick question on RM, do they charge extra for specific word, multiple locations, etc listings or inclusions in their search menu?  For example, since I live in the south Florida, I notice that I may see some providers listed only in Ft Lauderdale, but others listed in multiple nearby cities, such as FTL, Wilton Manors, Hollywood, etc.  I also noticed that if I do a word search like "daddy," it seems that I don't necessarily get all providers that may consider themselves daddy types, and I get more providers if I do search for "dad" versus "daddy".

Thanks Simon.
