How much to charge for managing a profile??

[Trinity-Belle]

Do you know what Trinity! VERY naive I know but I did not know that is what it is classed as If I managed her profile and I'm guessing neither does she!

It all depends how you deal with it, what you do for her and how she pays you for doing it... or more specifically, how you earn money from it. It's different for cam girls or content providers, but you do need to be careful with escorts. Legally it is a whole different game.

I know for a fact she has a Blackberry! Does adultwork have an app?

No, but they do have a mobile site, which is kind of the next best thing and allows you to upload content, edit your profile, check and answer your messages and manage your bookings. The only really important thing which is missing is profile featuring, but you can always navigate to the main site to deal with that.

We are meeting tomorrow evening so I'll show her the agencies you have recommended. I know she would prefer to be independent

Well, I'm sure she does... everyone wants to be an independent escort... but sometimes, in some circumstances, you are just better off working through an agency. I started with an agency... Learnt the ropes, got wise and eventually moved on. I worked that way for a couple of years, actually. Sure, you give up some of your income, but they do keep you fed with work and they manage everything for you. You just get a phone call with a time and an address or hotel room number. Easy Peasy.

Thanks Trinity. When she comes round tomorrow I'm going to let her have a good look around the site and also these forums so she can see what is going to suit her best.

I was under the impression 'Living off immoral earnings' no longer applies, the offence is 'profiting from another persons prostitution'. The old offence was done away with some years ago to stop it being illegal for partners or family members to receive the earnings of their partner, when voluntarily brought into the household.

Arranging bookings for an SP would probably mean you'd fall foul of the offence of 'control for gain'.

If you were to 'manage' her profile as many pimps do on AW, you'd also be responsible for weeding out TWs and sussing out the quality bookings. Since you've never worked as an SP, or at least probably not had many bookings yourself I very much doubt you'd have any of the senses and intuition many of us pick up as we go along. I think you'd also find yourself having to reply to messages pretty much all of your spare time - many guys like to exchange quite a few messages and of course you'd need to know in detail exactly what the lady will or won't do(as well as her stats inside out).

Most people with the help of the help articles and this site should be able to administer their own profile without much problem.

Hi Strawberryblonde,

Again you make some valid points. I don't think I would be able to keep up with the emails as you mentioned and I would not wanting to be playing email tennis while some guy gets his kicks for free.

I have set up her profile for her tonight but will not be managing it. Her phone number is showing and I've set her email to auto respond saying to contact her that way. Aside from that she will manage profile through her blackberry at for the time being.

I've also mentioned these forums to her so she can visit if she likes and the option of going to an internet cafe to manage it.

Darren.

Good stuff and good that she's got the opportunity to take charge of her advertising(which is what a profile essentially is) and screening of clients.

i'd steer well clear of this girl. if she's not capable of running her own profile she must be a bit of a flake. you could be taken advantage of financially or worst case scenario, as someone else said, be charged with 'living off immoral earnings'. there are already enough sleazy pimps out there living off girls money, don't be one of them.

A plumber friend of ours is also being "Pimped" out by a sleazy fat low life. He sends him off out to work each day, regardless of the weather, and takes over 30% of what he earns. The guy has 5 others that he also controls to make him a fat profit that affords him a large detached house and flash new cars.

What is the world coming too?

No worries Connie. I certainly don't want to be like that. I know in this industry it takes time to earn trust & respect so I don't blame you for being suspicious!
