What would yinz do if Rentmen.com is taken down?

[marylander1940]

I hate it when I'm the one who's naive. But if all this gets signed and happens, then what? I never hired before the internet. Where do the advertisers advertise? Where do the clients find their providers? And if the answer is obvious, please just answer the question anyway.

 

It's been talked on here before, I just think a thread about this might be more useful.

Yard sales.

Move to another country? They may build a wall to keep the flood of freedom loving Americans out or maybe that is why Trump wants the wall-to keep us in?

Learn to not rely on the internet? Lol. I notice a lot of these boys post and ad and wait for calls. This just means more footwork. I’m blessed with a lot of straight clients or first time crossovers so I will have no problems playing the field with the girls at hotel bars. I can only imagine Vegas is about to be flooded...

Have you ever worked at a hotel's bar?

 

Maybe some bars might allow solicitation just like some saunas do in Europe.

I’m thinking about printing business cards. I already have a website that’s more informative and contains much more eye candy than my RM ad.

Get a different job (already plotting).

Hotel bars sound like too much work. I wouldn't even know where to start with that, though I've definitely heard of guys suggesting it. I mean, how would one even begin the conversation of being paid?

 

I've done the bar hustle thing briefly or on occasion, but that's been at gay bars where there was already a door opening to make a move. But even that, is too much.

 

I don't mind posting an ad and waiting for calls. I'd rather get that 1 serious call. I don't care for flagging down clients or playing all kind of tricks and schemes (not saying that's what you're doing, just speaking in general). That was the pitfall of Craigslist. One had to do all that to get clients, but you'd also go thru a lot of no's to get there. I can't imagine that same level of rejection in real life.

 

And despite being in the game 10 years, I'm still a Black gay male escort. A very niche market. Even if they are game, will they want to pay? Clients can be far and few in between, if I'm looking in the general public. For example, in Orlando I have to travel 30-40 miles from where I live for most of my appointments. When I do end up at a client's hotel, it's $20 to park. That in itself would make it not worth the effort.

 

Don't get me wrong, it definitely sounds enticing and I would love to expand to gyms, hotels, and bars...but I can't imagine it being a replacement to online though. Most every business relies on the Internet, we wouldn't be any different. I do think business cards would be a great way to use in conjunction with it, but I'd want to keep it very massage based.

I’m plotting to add a component of my brand that is sex educational in nature, revolving around my niche skills, which are helping beginner bottoms learn how to successfully take stuff in their ass and introducing people to prostate stimulation and orgasms. Planning to host all that content in a separate location from my escort content, but connect the brands in discreet ways such as my name and some overlapping photo content. Basically so that if anyone researches me to SEE if I ever escort, it will be obvious that I do. Seems like it would add a small second stream of income as a sex educator and attract a small number of well-suited clients to me at the same time.

 

I was originally planning to host the sex education content on my personal/escort website, and make it VERY clear that I can provide personal sessions to teach the techniques, but SESTA/FOSTA is gonna have me separating them so that its easier for US clients to reliably access my sex education content even if my escort website starts getting deleted off US servers or blocked by US ISPs...

[FTM Zachary Prince]

Also started focusing on my other streams of income more seriously than before, which include webcamming, custom clip-making, and escort marketing consultations.

 

Not only does this help me feel less panicked about escort ad websites getting deleted, but all of these revenue streams occasionally refer me escort clients.

 

Basically I’m exploring non-criminalised smaller revenue streams that double as subliminal advertising for my escort service. Fleshing out my brand into other arenas. I have been advising friends to consider doing the same.

There will be escort sites anyway. Maybe even better ones than RM

With the bizarre changes in the law regarding prostitution, can you tell me how new or even better escort sites can or will be formed?

 

Just hoping to be as optimistic as you.

After the RB raid the sky didn't fall... let's see what happens now and how much Sesta will be enforced.

Wrong!

 

The location of the server makes no difference if it gets blocked to U.S. users or providers.

 

Thus, for U.S. users, rentmen will "go down" for all practical purposes -

The poster did not say "bi" he said "straight"

 

He said he would be competing in a bar with "straight clients"

 

" - - lot of straight clients - - "

 

Bi has nothing to do with his claim.

 

Therefore, the posters claim is optimistic (unrealistic), at best

How do you know? Why so much distrust on what escorts say?

 

If @BlakeBenz says he gets a lot of straight guys and first timers I just take his word as valid, and I'm happy for him!
