Ultimately, you're right Kevin, the solution would be to switch the NYC ad with its associated email to Toronto. The problem is that I've prepaid my Toronto ad by money order several months in advance, so won't be able to do that for some time.

 

I'm confused (not an unusual occurrence). Why don't you have both ads through the same account, with the same email address? When I go to Lauderdale, for example, I just create another ad through my main account, no muss no fuss. Feel free to private me or call if you'd like to take this offline.

Not to step on Cooper's toes or anything but you guys have reduced this topic to shop talk that maybe better resolved over in the "Ask An Escort" area. Just IMHO

Thus my invitation to take it offline.

Thanks Kevin, will do.

www.Boys2Rent.com is family owned and operated

 

I wonder Romann if it is because lately M4RN has more

( live) escorts ads listed from the DFW market than RB does--so people at least from DFW, may check it more frequently. One thing I have noticed--escorts on M4RN seem to be more ephemeral--I have heard that M4RN is less expensive than RB--if that is true--then I could see how people who aren't too sure about escorting, people who don't plan to be in it long, or scammers might be more inclined to use M4RN over RB. And then of course we all know that M4RN has more (in)famous inactive ads than RB does. Those really are tiresome--I know it's been mentioned before--as in continually-- but you would think the bad publicity from both the clients and escorts would get them to change their business policy on dead ads.

Romann, pointed out a lot of very positive features the site offers escorts; I agree the features are nice. I also receive more referrals from M4RN than any other site, which is the only reason I continue to advertise with them. bad publicity is still publicity; in their case it's not about a good reputation, it's how easy they are to find and how many people know about them.

I think the layout and over all appearance of the site is cheesy and the only reason the derive more business is because they pay handsome fees to the search engines, as was previously mentioned.

 

I don't think RentBoy is superior, as they charge when we move our ad to a new city(and unless we lower you package to a basic plan the fee to move can be very large and you are not guaranteed your platinum membership when you return to your home city and you may have to pay again, they don't allow ads to be posted in travel cities unless you pay for a separate ad and the rate is not the same for every city. Some platinum ads run a few hundred dollars per month. Some moves are prorated, but all of this is not worth the business I get from the site. However, I run two basic ads with them one on ManWorks and one on RentBoy total for both only $60.00 per month.

 

The new "Client Review" feature oin M4RN is pretty much a joke, though it could be a useful tool to keep escorts out of the hands of bad people, "IF" M4RN had standards in place to prevent good clients from venom spewing tramps calling themselves escorts. Any escort with common sense will feel the same way about the client reviews as we all feel about the escort reviews. I mean really??? We can delete 3 reviews a month or turn them off all together.. They do require that you have the clients email or telephone to search for reviews, so you can't just browse... LOL How noble of them... Anyone with ill intent could avoid detection with Google voice and gmail, for FREE... Big Joke, Smart "escorts" would know better than to participate in such self defeating activity anyway...

 

Ok, RentMen, I think is a great site with one major drawback, but many love the feature. Videos..... The more videos you post the higher you rank in searhes... To me, that doesn't seem right, we all pay the fee; why should ones willingness to post videos for the world to see them in their very best attire be ranked ABOVE one who does not wish to be exposed that way. Other than that, good site.

 

Nobody has mentioned Boys2Rent which is owned by an escort. His PR could use some improvement; his personal and friendly approach is nice, but missing the dazzle, the sizzle, the wow factor. But the site looks great, there are boys all over the world listed there and he has yet to charge me one single dime for advertising and I have met several clients referred by theb site, even from Australia... He says he will begin to charge soon, but only 10.00 I personally think he deserves some support. If you haven't yet check out his site.... www.Boys2Rent.com

 

I think that is a bit more than 2 cents, but thanks for reading. My apologies I am tired and this was poorly written and may contain errors. lol more than usual... Wink

Email Notifications of M4RN Client Reviews

 

For the first time, I have just received an email enquiry from a client via M4RN that came with a link to that client's review. There is no field for a text review, just 4 yes/no questions and a star rating. The questions are: 1) Represents himself accurately, 2) Treats you professionally, 3) Lives up to agreement, 4) Would recommend, 5) Overall Rating. This particular client got a 'no' to all questions and 1 star.

I wonder if this client realized that his review was poor! I can't imagine someone deliberately providing such a link, so it makes me suspect that the client can't see the reviews on M4RN which I guess would make it beneficial to escorts so that they can avoid those bad encounters. I would also suspect that you sent him a polite denial.

The link was supplied by M4RN, not the client. The reviews are only accessible by advertisers. I would not reject a potential client based solely on a review like this. However, in this instance, I had already flagged this particular client as being unlikely to be serious. He is based in a city which I have listed as one of my travel cities and has sent me several enquiries over the last few months, repeating the same blunt questions, despite having already been informed repeatedly that I was up for what he had in mind and would contact him when I was next planning to visit his city. I have given up on responding to him.

Or perhaps he's amazingly sexy, has a great sense of humor and tips exceedingly well, which is why the reviewing escort doesn't want to share his biz.

I'll chime in

 

Well I have to say I do not plan on reviewing clients. In the past I have traveled to other cities where fellow escorts have contacted me to say beware of certain client. While I appreciate that , one wonders if there is any truth to it or is it simply ....

I don't want you moving in on my territory.

 

I pride myself on being very discreet. However, if I ever felt unsafe or threatened in anyway I would certainly find a way to communicate that in a professional manner to my fellow escorts.

 

As far as the escort sites. Mine are in this order

 

Men 4 Rent - 90 % of my biz

Rentboy - less than 5 inquiries a month

Rentmen - to be fair I have only been on for month and had one email contact.

 

Hmmm. What to do

[Romann]

Well I have to say I do not plan on reviewing clients.

 

The bear is watching! <poke poke, nudge nudge>

Hey Blade,

 

Just ask an agreeable escort acquaintance (who has a M4RN ad) to check for your name in the client reviews. I did that and it appears that any escort who has an active, paid up M4RN ad can check that information!

Thanks. Will do so.
