WHAT IS MARKETING?
def: the activity or business of promoting and selling products or services, including market research and advertising.
Whether it’s sex work, selling lamps or offering maid services, you have to market your business to potential customers. We in sex work do the same. We offer products in the form of content; our time, (per min rate) mp3’s, mp4’s, and photos. We offer services in the form of phone fantasies, acting roleplays, telling stories, listening to customers, sometimes offering advice and helping them to create a great sex scene.
It starts with you and your perception and what you believe and your self-worth. So, yes-self-worth is associated with the price you charge.
SEX WORK IS WORK, AND IT INVOLVES MARKETING/PRICING
PLACE/PROMOTION
Recently, I read a fully thought out, probably researched and complete and accurately written forum post about pricing as it relates to marketing sex work and ‘self-worth.” The post was ‘general’ using terms such as “we” and “our” and included some very poignant points and references to proper themes of marketing and pricing. In other words, it was a great post!

DOES PRICE REFLECT YOUR OWN SELF-WORTH OR LACK THEREOF?
In a nutshell, yes. She/He may believe this because she/he simply is not delivering anything of value and/or she/he is dealing with “cheap thinking” clients who won’t or can’t pay more. If that’s the case, then you and your clients may be suited for each other.
BEFORE YOU THROW A PRICE UP FOR SEX WORK ASK YOURSELF THESE QUESTIONS:
- What message are you sending?
- Are you aiming for a quick sale or building a long-term customer relationship?
- Are your pricing strategies in sync with your marketing messages?
- Does that price reflect the comparable price of others selling the same product?
- Does your price reflect the low value you offer?
DOES PRICE REFLECT SELF-WORTH? YES.
The price a person commands is going to be in direct proportion to their level of self-confidence, and the level of price they command is going to be a direct reflection of customers they attract. eg: cheap begets cheap.
WHY IS EVERYONE SO READY TO BE OFFENDED?
Hopefully, you read a few of the articles I’ve linked to and have discovered that marketing professionals understand that price reflects self-worth, your own perception of self-worth and the quality you perceive your product is worth. Unfortunately, after the post was read by a few people who seem to have nothing better to do but sit in the NiteFlirt forums, a few comments were, “I am so offended” This is condescending, etc…
I THINK YOU ARE CONFUSING EMOTIONS WITH BUSINESS!
How do you become offended by a business woman offering her own well thought out, well researched and well written opinion on price vs. self-worth and comparable market prices for the same business? Moreover, the discussion was meant, as I read it, to encourage others to see their value. If you downgrade your own service, you make the NiteFlirt platform seem a place for the lowbrow, cheap and desperate.
If you’re offended so easily by business speak, maybe ‘business’ isn’t for you.
It seems that everyone on social media and public forums are there just to be OUTRAGED-OFFENDED-TICKED OFF and incredulous! This exposes your lack of professionalism. It also says something about your ability to navigate daily communication in business.
IF YOU WALKED INTO A CONFERENCE ROOM WHERE PEOPLE WERE DISCUSSING MARKETING PRACTICES, AND YOU STOOD UP AND EXCLAIMED, “I AM SO OFFENDED BY THIS MESSAGE”, I imagine someone in the room would tell you that the women’s emotional support meeting is down the hall, ‘we are discussing business”.
PHONE SEX IS A BUSINESS.
If you are so sensitive that someone else’s opinion /or suggestion on a MARKETING concept sends you into a state of ‘outrage’ or being ‘so offended’ then maybe stay off of social media, stay out of public business forums and consider why you are so easily offended? Are you looking for a place to show unreasonable emotions? Maybe.
PHONE SEX sales and marketing is a business related matter!
*WE ARE IN BUSINESS.
*WE ARE BUSINESS WOMEN.
*WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DISCUSSING BUSINESS CONCEPTS
*WE ARE SUPPOSED TO SHARING INSIGHTS INTO MARKETING
AND HOW TO INCREASE VISIBILITY AND SALES.
That’s why you are on this site, isn’t it?
Otherwise, why are you in phone sex?
