Don't give #leolist any money! The site could be totally shut down very soon! They screwed a really big company & lied to major banks in the EU! The site could be gone very soon and you will loose your $ just like I did with #Backpage last year! Post on all the FREE sites!

The definition of a #DigitalPimp: Instead of a block it's a website! If you don't pay you can't work on their block/website! Exactly like a #Pimp! Don't feed the #pimps! Post FREE Ads On FREE Sites!

This should stir a lot of comments good and bad.
Yes leolist is a paysite but I really think you are pushing it calling a DigitalPimp.
Not saying that you Cristy are doing that at all but the lady out west is certainly doing it.
We don't see the entire picture with this lady and her motives because we don't have a lot of traffic on this board for Trans people or Trans escorts.
Ms. DVyne would have you believe this is all about protecting escorts from pimps but it looks like her motive is really to get you to advertise on her site.
Clear as mud right.

Yes it is a conundrum for sure. Lots to read about this on twitter. You are right I'd never refer to or think of anyone/or any thing as a pimp, unless I've absolute proof and I don't agree that simply because a site overcharges it then is "pimping". We do have a choice as to where we spend our advertising dollars, so therefore no one is being forced into doing anything. Time will tell what the outcome of leoslist is, they're now advertising they're under new management and that there are new things on their horizon.....so we'll see. The only frustrating thing is having to buy that "space" money if you want to continue to advertise there. I choose not to, for now.I'm to ill informed and to lazy to learn about bitcoin/space money at this moment. But I may change my mind in 20 mins....lol. I just hope the story didn't play out as Ms. Dvyne portrays it, as being vindictive never does anyone any favors.

Seen a lot of complaints from SPs about LL's fees (they charge +$ for everything) and not yielding much in return. Limiting payment methods will probably kill them.

I have always felt Leolist is very confusing.

Yes many dislike it...and some don't understand why or how it's sister sites, Lyla and vipfavors, can be free, and or reasonable to advertise on yet Leoslist kept increasing it's fees and allowing spam ads to over run real ads. But perhaps no one site can control spam? In Halifax and the Maritimes, it's the go to site so time will tell if it will rise or fall.

I wrote this on other forums as well.

LL was making a change before this girl went on a rampage. They were, from my understanding - looking at review site as well. Based on a new twitter handle I followed a couple of days before this happened. So I think the ”ownership” change was already happening.

Bottom line folks, our industry is not ever going to be as simple as mainstream. As much as I don't want to get into crypto, almost every single site that we need, will take it. So maybe it is time to just hop on board.

What is more important, food on your table or the convenience of a CC.

As for prices, its a lot. When that is what you solely rely on. I bet women pay more on there then they do on a forum like this for a month. Diversity is the name of the game here. I have never and will never put all my eggs in one basket. Not for anything, personal, business etc. That is especially true for this industry.

It sucks when things don't go the way we like or the way we think it should go. Yet we have seen that stirring the pot too much leaves us worse off. Bedford case, CL shut down then BP, now this. The storm will pass but how many people will learn this time. Learn how to adapt or learn how to change up your game by diversifying?

Bottom line - men will always buy sex and women will always sell it. It is just a matter of how easy or hard you make that within the limits of the ever-evolving industry.

I will say if the powers at LL are no longer using an EU based company for processing, then change the currency back to CDN. That is a pure cash grab if they don't. Which again, I recognize is their right and I will continue to pay so long as I want to have my ad on that platform and feel, I get an ROI.

Right now a bump once a month is good for me. However, when I tour East/West, I'll use it and pay. If a $10 as is making $250 - I ain't bitching about price. Escort advertising is so cheap compared to the mainstream for real businesses. Hell, my print cost on flyers for just events at my job cost more than a year of advertising on forums and that us just to advertise to customers I already have.

Ladies have to watch, they think guys only look for sex when they want it. That is not true. They research beforehand. You don't need to have your ad up on the front page all the time, you don't need to only use LL on the day you are working. I say take this time to learn about other advertising venues or how to support those who have stay tried and true longer than CL, BP and LL combined.

Sorry, that turned into more than I thought. As a businesswoman, I get frustrated at how upset these women get. Only because I know if they just tweaked a couple of things in their game, they wouldn't have to worry as much as they do. I wish there was a magic handbook I could give out. I wish women would put 10% of every booking away for days like today. It would help pay that hotel when you found out after you checked in that you can’t place an ad LL. I wish ladies would use more then one site. It would make sure you had another place to advertise when now stuck in a pre-paid hotel and no LL.

To be clear, I'm not mad at women. Just frustrated they have to go through this when I know a change here or there could have made this issue such a non issue for them as it is for me. I wish one person didn't decide for the rest what was good and what was not. First with Bedford and now this trans woman from Vancouver.

Hmmm, well, I wish...... one day that escorting will be considered a "real" business, especially by other escorts.

Well, I didn't know all this. Thanks for sharing.

 

[Canada-Man]

try vipfavours

 

[Riess]

Never used them and don't plan to.

 

[cristy]

They appear to be accepting credit cards again for ad payments....
