How to get started?

[Enrique]

I made a rentmen profile and got approved today and I got one call (we scheduled for tonight, but no guarantee), but it seems like I should be getting more calls. I have 225 views so far but only 2 tried to contact. Any suggestions to improve profile? I think it may be the quality of my photos.

When I started I put my price little low than the average just to people get to know me and get confidence. This job is pretty much mouth to mouth. So, my suggestion in case you don't want to make some adjustment. Be patient

Has clients that love people who is starting now

I just checked your profile. Some comments:

 

A picture is worth a thousand words. You say "I am very polite, easygoing and seductive." Add some photos that suggest this, as well as your claim that "I am upscale by nature." I'm not exactly sure what that means, but perhaps take some photos that suggest upscale tastes or something.

 

"Be prepared to be amazed."

 

How do you/will you amaze clients? Do you have strong hands? Are you a passionate kisser? Do a bit more describing of the experience you offer rather than telling, without being too graphic, same with "both passionate and sensual." Describe what these mean in practice and/or convey them with photos. Good luck.

I think your expectations of the rentmen website might be a little too high. You'll probably always have more views than calls and conversely more calls than appointments from those calls. I'd suggest to lower your expectations a bit and let your ad circulate through the rentmen population of users for a few days. No need to get stressed out at this point.

Washington DC has a lot of escorts. I would try dropping the rates by a little for one so you are being more competitive until you get to be better known and get some reviews. Not being able to do incalls can be a problem for some locals.

 

No face pic is a definite turn off for me. You have a great body but no face shot. I will not meet an escort without a face pic. If you aren't comfortable with a public one at least have a locked one to show potential clients who you think are serious

I definitely agree more specifics are needed. You have my middle name lol - are you Latin maybe market yourself as Latino to grab more market - some ideas for you - good luck!

Sorry, I was in the middle of changing photos that's why. It should be up when the administrators approve my photos again.

[Enrique]

All good replies!

I'm not Latin, I just chose that name because I pass for brazillian and dominican a lot. That being said, what would bring in more clients, marketing myself as latin with the name Enrique, or using my real heritage (half african--liberian, half european--danish) and choosing a different name.

[Fogdance]

For what's it worth. For me personally as a client, I tend to gravitate towards men that have posted a few short video clips in their ads. This helps me verify that the person in the video is matching the pictures and in my mind tends to make me feel more comfortable with contacting. In the meantime I'll be anxiously awaiting the RM administrators approval of your pictures!

Message me and I'll send some to you.

I'm not a fan of "I have big and strong hands that gives the best massages in your city." Sounds odd to claim to be better than any other masseuse in any other city anywhere and makes me question any of your other claims. Also, I'd lose the and (I have big strong hands) and gives want to be give (hands give). Last nit: discrete wants to be discreet.

 

Don't fret the slow start. Most guys need to jack off to your pics for a week or two before they gather the nerve to call. And you'll eventually build a stable of regulars.

You're definitely exotic that would easily get my attention!

My sincere apologies, Enrique. I have deleted the post where I made the incorrect assumption.

 

Best of luck to you in your endeavor.

I'm a client I'm not in DC area but in Miami these are things based on your pics alone might make me hire you

• A bit of beard showing a big plus don't know if you want to use a full face pic
  
• Shaved head - I find sexy as hell
  
• Skin color appears caramel again might say " Latin" or other - very sexy
  
• Tattoo- I find them sexy
  
• Excuse my bluntness but you have a great dick - again a big plus
  

Ok I'm done, maybe a few more pics you might add?

Thanks yea, this helps a lot.

Just throwing my hat in the ring: Your profile could be a bit longer. Yea's? Nay's?

 

One of my favorites is Mike Gaite saying how he couldn't live without scones and clotted cream:

• What are 5 things you can’t live without?
  
  
  Scones, clotted cream, the soft glow of the outer limbs of a fire, the works of Garcia Marquez, my friends and family.

When your circumstances permit, you may want to consider offering the option of in-calls. It's possible that many prospective clients are unable to host.

Yea I know. This is a big one.

[AlexThomas]

Don't fret about the number of calls, I think my first week I got a couple hundred views and very few calls. I did eventually setup one appointment with a very kind gentleman. Some people are wary of new escorts until you have a review or two, I would definetly say keep your price lower to be competitive in your area. I started very low at first until I got my confidence up and a few clients told me I was worth more then I was asking.

I"m guessing the pics have been updated, there is a reasonable variety there now. I would say that an online profile is a very tiny aperture through which to squeeze a whole human being, but that cuts both ways. Readers should allow some lattitude for that and writers should take care to maximize the significance of all the content of the profile. In the case of pictures, one thing I notice and am impressed by is a lack of visual clutter. You are literally asking people to put themselves in your hands, it behooves you to appear to be able to act with thought and consideration. You can move your laundry basket and bike out of the shot, unless they are intended to convey some meaning, but if so, I missed it.

I can't speak for everyone, but I can give you feedback from my perspective.

 

Your ad seems a bit disconnected to me.

 

My recommendation would be to change the ad text a little. You've got a single block of text and that tends to read like you didn't know what to say. It is very focused on you. (You say "I" six times).

 

Personally, I think the ad should be about the experience you provide or about your client. And I'm pretty sure the client is paying for an encounter that is focused on themselves.

 

Based on your existing text, here's what I might suggest...

 

Thank you for reading my profile.

 

Whether it is a night on the town at an upscale event, an afternoon playing sports, a workout at the gym, or a discreet/seductive masculine encounter, then I'm here to amaze you.

 

I've got the ability to go from a gentleman, with an aura of relaxation, to an alpha male, depending on your desires. And afterwards, hold a well-educated conversation or talk about the weather. Let me give you an experience to remember.

 

I'm available for travel. Contact me via ___________.

It is more focused on the client. Just a thought.

Some of your pictures are duplicates. At least as of this moment.
