Probably too much actually...
It's probably best for my pocketbook that you all don't comment so much too...
So really, thanks everyone for staying silent!
I posted an ad on Craigslist this week looking for a photographer to take some photos for me... some good shots to put in my portfolio for adult work. As would be expected, the first wave of responses were all from 'hobby' photographers (by which I mean, horny guys who have dug out their ancient point and shoot camera), but surprisingly I've got 4 serious responses that look like they might pan out. Two of them are actual hobby photographers but are quite talented and looking to expand their personal portfolio and work on their skills, and 2 are actual professional photographers looking to expand their portfolios. I've replied to all of them and will take photos with any/all of them that pan out... you can never have too many photos in different styles, etc.
This means, of course, that my dear LD needs to get started on my website. Once it is up and running I will be linking it here for all of you lovelies to gander at and give feedback. The purpose of this site will be to entice the boys and girls in to purchasing my goods and services... either escorting or adult modelling/video. This leads me to a couple of questions for you to start things going:
Do I post photos that show my face clearly? This would be a bonus in getting video/modelling work, but of course risks revealing my secret identity to the world should my day job employer find my site. That said, I do have porn floating around out there, and have just been informed by my old producer that they're re-editing everything to high-bandwidth and relaunching material, mine among it, and that my videos do still get quite a few hits. So while my old stuff is somewhat 'buried' in the digital pile of naked bodies, it's certainly not obscure or hidden. For those of you who'd like to go out and find me, check out Amateur Canada and look for Francis... I think that was the name I was using at the time.
What sort of information should I post? If you were going to hire an escort and/or adult entertainer, what info would you want other than contact info/price/physical measurements? Anything? Do you not need any further information?
Where would you advertise? Should I shell out some cash to get some Google AdWords or something similar to give me a spike in hits to the site and get a good client base built up? I've got the start of a profile going at Adult Staffing, but of course I need photos... does anyone know of any other similar sites or escorting sites I can post the link to my website on?
Any other thoughts or advice?
