Congratulations on another successful year Kevin! And thanks for sharing this, it's really interesting. May 2016 continue the trend upward....

 

I'm with, Nate on this one, Kevin. Congratulations on your continued success as it looks like 2012 was the chart-topper of them all, but 2015 was another excellent year for you as it does show on the chart highly well. :).

 

Keep up the good work as each year will get better and better, but in the eyes who all know you're great at what you do know your already a big success as no chart is needed for that. ;);)

Just my 2 cents..... We know many escorts here have/are making a wonderful living by providing this service or supplementing their income. And it's nice that they do and it's great that they're proud of that fact. But I find it a big turn off when someone flaunts/implies how much money one makes. It's great to say you've had a busy year and such but I think finances should be private. I don't think any client on here....or at least they shouldn't....should be talking how rich or how much money they make. It's nobody's business.

Guys, don't jump on me... it's just my opinion.

I get your point, J3. I had no idea income was so taboo here, but I've now learned. With that said, I honestly feel Kevin was tryin to celebrate an increase in biz amongst forum pals. I didn't see it as flaunting. Particularly bc he left the Y axis off. Actually, you can see in the chart he has had a few not so good years, which is all part of a business experience. As I think about his chart, I like the fact he shared it bc it may help fellow escorts not only track their business more carefully but also analyze variables affecting a good or bad year. Thank you for expressing your reaction though, takes balls to go against the grain. You helped me think! as far as clients sharing how much they make....Ive seen a few folks kinda flaunting it, and I only take offense when it is done at someone else's expense.

 

@Kevin Slater , in my feeling embarrassed about my over-stepping by asking for the Y axis, I totally lost the main point of the post: celebration. So....congrats on the increase and may 2016 be even better.

I don't think it's any more taboo here than it is anywhere else. One generally doesn't go around casually discussing one's income. But sharing the good news of an excellent year doesn't seem tacky to me at all.

Maybe it was the way I was raised /reared. When I was a little kid, we had NO money, no father. (not a sob story... just the way it was) Was taught what we have or don't have is nobody's business....be humble, be proud. And when money happened, it was the same......she said remember what it was like before.... and it's nobody's business....be humble.

Sorry if I offended anyone.

I agree with your point that it is inappropriate to flaunt how much money you're making, but I think that by leaving off any number on the Y axis, Kevin has been able to share some very interesting trend information without crossing the line. Thanks for sharing it, @Kevin Slater.

You arrogant little WHORE!

 

How dare you make $Z, where Z = 7 times bars, and bar = unknown.

And that's almost 1 FULL bar more than last year!!!!

What's the matter? 6 bars wasn't ENOUGH for you???

And then you come on here and flaunt all your new found wealth in front of us?!?!?!

 

You Greedy....little....BITCH!

 

Seriously though, I find the graph interesting and I really appreciate you finding

a way to share the information. It's nice to see a whore....who's also a smart businessman.

This forum is for both escorts and clients which is what makes it so fun and enlightening. As a client (and a bit of stochastic analysis wonk) I always find Kevin's bar charts interesting and I believe that it could help some escorts. I think it would be in poor taste (and a bit off putting) if he put dollar amounts on the chart but he doesn't. I understand how the charts might make some bristle but lets be realistic, we are constantly talking about money on here when we talk about rates some people believe are too high. I am sure some escorts are a bit uncomfortable when we rip one of their colleagues a new one for charging $300, $400, or $500. Keep em coming Kevin.

KS is what a good escort should be--an f'ing businessman. A lot of men go into it just to earn some quick cash and scoot away back to wherever. This guy realizes that if you are going to be any good as an escort, you have to start off with a business mindset. You are selling a product. You must know how to market. You must know how to treat customers. You must be able to read market trends. Based on his chart, the man gets it. Newbie escorts please take note.

 

For the record, I have never met him.

Also, every time Kevin posts a graph -- his own or someone else's -- this quant geek's heart flutters. TOTALLY PLATONICALLY, GUYS.

 

You aren't alone. There is a whole contingent here who get chubs (Is there a female equivalent of a chub? :)) whenever the guys go nerdish or give us a glimpse of their business acumen.

Hi Kevin,

 

I'm curious about what's driving the increase in revenue year-over-year. Are you finding that escort rates are steadily increasing and you're seeing that in your bottom line? Or are you seeing lots more customers jumping into the market? Or maybe your revenue increase is mostly from a solid base of repeat customers? Or a mix of all of the above?

 

Being that you're not a publicly traded company, I'd understand if you don't want to divulge this information. But I figure it doesn't hurt to ask.

I'd say mostly door #3, a solid base of repeat customers.
