RENTBOY.PRO WEBSITE

[Boomxyz]

Well, currently the site is what it is. Yes it’s very,very far from being a business. As always we share our visions here, collect your opinions and make the site better just like we did it from the very beginning. And this time it looks like despite our CEO’s current vision of a world’s first completely free escort site for everyone, people will treat Rentboy.pro better if it will start charging them. Interesting:) Thanks.

I believe that competition (and sunlight) create the most successful environments. I am not averse paying for good service either. Certainly Rentmen.com, which collects my monthly premium now, doesn't give a damn about my custom unless I have options which could affect that collection. If the Rentboy.pro site offers some responsiveness, I have no problem with a reasonable fee. I like their ideas and direction thus far.

+1 from me for Rentboy.pro

Support them when I can. The best new escort site. Super easy to use

[stop]

The initial business-plan was gone with our investor more than a month ago. I was trying to give you the current and insiders information:) Looks like yeh, you are right guys, we should start charging and hire more people to update the site more often:)

 

please point me to the comment that says you should charge. i don’t recall seeing a single forum member suggest you should start charging. yet you have made that same sharkey comment a number of times while evading the questions posed to you.

Example: “What would not be understandable, and in fact would give me serious concerns about trusting the site, would be presenting the site as if there are no plans to monetize the site in the future if everyone knows it will likely happen.”

 

Or this comment of yours:

“However this whole thread has given me pause about the site. Boomxyz the apparent spokesman for this site has given very (in my opinion) disingenuous responses about the way this site is going to be a business.

 

I call BS on his responses about how they are doing this as a hobby.”

 

Looks like you want me to feel sorry that we are doing this as a hobby Lol

If you read carefully the thread you will see more references (besides the ones quoted by @Boomxyz ) that question the seriousness/honesty of a website that pretends to be for free.

 

I am not questioning their honesty. Up to now they have behaved like loyal friends and service oriented players, I like them a lot (I am talking about the people, the site has much to improve). I do question the sustainability of a model that do not include plans to generate an income. I want them to grow and be successful, I think they will have to charge for some services.

AKA "something for nothing ain't worth shit, but charge a premium price and the world will beat a path to your door.

If I was retired, maintaining an escort website could be fun. I would do it.

If several retired guys got together and are doing that, it could make sense that it stays free as long as 4 or 5 of them are healthy enough to work part time on it.

 

But @Boomxyz is far from retirement age (please tell me you haven't retired at 34!), so I assume he, and whoever else is also working on that and thereby incurs a serious opportunity cost, will think about revenue for rentboy at some point or will leave to make money elsewhere.

I agree if the service has value to the consumer. In order for the new service to be money making, the consumer needs enough information on the providers to ensure the probability that the experience will be positive. I think this can happen through their secret shopper but the need individual reviews or reviews from clients need to be integrated with little work on the client side. In addition, more information about the provider needs to be provided. Like what they are into i.e. do they French kiss. No easy answers but they have the potential to be a real power hou$e if they think and plan carefully.

[KennF]

Why do people always blame us that we don’t charge anybody? Sometimes I tell to my so called CEO and friend that everyone will be more happy if we will start charging:)

 

I think it is because people like to understand motives. Except on very rare occasions, no one does something for nothing. Even on those times where they appear to do it for nothing, they are getting some personal satisfaction.

 

If the site is costing someone money, then I would anticipate either (a) they have a lots of time and money to waste, (b) they have a NFP benefactor; © it is a hobby that will be dropped when the time/money gets too much, (d) it will be sold to someone (maybe with less scruples), (e) they are going to monetize it in someway, or (f) something else that I don't yet understand.

 

I don't think I'd be "more happy if [you] start charging", but at least then I'd understand the business model.

 

It is very hard to believe that something that is costing in perpetuity is being done altruistically. And even harder when you consider that there are multiple people involved in the site's operations/management.

Tarte may be we should work on retiring. lol

I think that my co-worker @Boomxyz answered all the questions so far. If you are really interested to look inside Rentboy.pro, just re-read his posts in this thread.

 

My personal motivation to work for Rentboy.pro is:

 

-Creation and self-development.

 

-Challenge. To prove something to myself and to some certain individuals (my former colleagues, etc.)

 

-The idea of a new Rentboy. This name means a lot for me because I worked for it before.

 

-Superman complex:) To try to make the world a lil bit better, to try to become a lil more important for people, to try to leave at least a micro nano mark on history and in memories...

 

Sorry, but I will not play a role of a stereotypical CEO and pretend to be a serious smart mofo business guru

Personally, I think you have a product that has great potential. It seems with your attitude you maybe able to make it a success.

Yes, this is the key point. It's not that there is any reason to distrust the site in particular -- there isn't, and indeed several people have vouched for it convincingly.

 

@latbear4blk observed at the start of the thread that rentboy.pro has "an aggressive business model" -- which I think must have been in reference to the efforts made to get its name out, bring it up in various threads where it's a slight tangent, etc. I think for me, that is part of what made me assume it would be monetized. It's really unusual to see that sort of repetitive and forceful (but often effective) pavement-pounding approach for anything that is strictly a volunteer effort.

 

I was going to suggest to @Boomxyz that somebody just needs to lay out what their goal is with a little more detail, to make it more convincing. While I was typing, @SecretShopper appears to have done something pretty close to that. It's like ask and ye shall receive, except I didn't even have to ask!

 

(That said, between the statement on the website and the various things said in this thread, I now truly have no idea whether we should expect it to start charging sometime, hehe.)

Neither of those quotes are asking you to charge. Both are questioning your motivation and business plan.

Why? Because they do not charge, right?

Hi Guys, my Flight to La Guardia was Cancelled late last night. Damn it!!! I guess La Guardia airport has problems with delayed flights until now. I went to the airport this morning and check with the airlines and asked if they can book me in any flight this morning or afternoon but was told that the available flight will be tonight which is too late bcoz DUNG39 works in the evening, and my return flight is tomorrow morning.

 

I already told DUNG39 that I can’t make it . It is so depressing for me right now. Oh well, nothing I can do coz I also have to work tomorrow evening. Better luck next time, I guess. It might take a while for me to come back to nyc bcoz of my work schedule. Today is just not my lucky day.

So let me get this straight...Secret Shopper is here 'schilling' for Rentboy.pro? Such a double standard, if the boys from Rentmen.Eu were on here, you'd be jumping all down their throats.

 

For an escort that has been involved in the business 8-9 years, let me fill in some of the new advertisers on the board as the the 'generosity' of Rentboy.com, and why you shouldn't trust ANY of their progeny.

-They increased their costs to the advertiser 3x over the period during which I was advertising with them. A city like Providence RI went from 19.95 to 29.95 to 39.95 to 49.95. Do you want to see comparable inflation rates for the US Economy during '08-'13, or do you think you might have been GOUGING a little?

 

-Each ad was only applicable to ONE CITY, and when you went to change it, there was often a fee difference involved. Switching Providence to NY(larger city), incurred additional costs, and when you switched it back to a smaller city, it kept you at the higher price.

 

-For touring escorts, you NEED to have ads up in multiple cities ahead of time- with the Rentboy model, I was out 200-300 a month for ads, and dealing with customer service was not always a treat. They had some good people, don't get me wrong, but most weren't altogether too nice. It was all about the $$$.

 

Now, with the Rentmen.Eu model- as a gold or platinum escort, you get your main city plus SIX travel cities, all at one cost. I don't know about any of the other advertisers on here...but between interaction with Daddy's Forum users, and clients who just peruse RentMen....I couldn't fit more people in if I tried. It's the perfect balance.

 

Furthermore, I can personally vouch for one of the people that works over at Rentmen- he used to answer my phones and emails. He's discrete, honest to a fucking T, and actually cares about keeping RIP OFF FAKE ESCORTS off of their service.

 

If all you guys think a free service out there that has a track record of upping their price, offering less, and doing NOTHING to protect your personal information is the way to go- then there's the door! BYE!

 

RentMen has been the best thing to happen to this industry in the past 10 years, anyone is a fool to think otherwise. #FACT

[+ tristanbaldwin]

FYI- offer a service for free for 6 months to a year, get people hooked/used to it, then introduce 19.95, then 39.95 then 89.95 rates; that's what Rentboy surely has in store for you. It's called taking someone to 'Training School'- how they get naive people hooked on drugs, then they're in for the long haul.

Except he has been very open about it.

 

He is a client, which gives him the right to be here and participate.

 

He has disclosed that he also happens to work for rentboy.pro. I think it is better that he has disclosed that, rather than remain here as just a client and participating without disclosing his affiliation.

Except he initially denied it, playing word games with the definition of "work", when he knew exactly what people were asking. So you'll have to excuse me if I don't trust anything he says, and his association with the site is a net negative for them as far as I'm concerned.

 

As for the site, without reviews from reliable sources, it's not particularly more useful than any other ad pages. It does appear they are soliciting actual reviews now, so it looks like they are moving toward posting those.

Oh, come on, give them time. They are working for free.

Do you really expect all the functionality of a site that makes a significant revenue per year? How much does rentmen make per year? A million? More?
