LA Player on blogging

LA Player pays for the ultimate intimate encounters, and he tells us how he does it in his blog.
What is the first weblog you came across?
Maybe in 2004, when Xanga first ranked top 100 at Alexa. I found a few pitiful blogs about prostitution.
Why did you start blogging?
It's logical after playing in discussion boards, then I had my rather popular local oriented groups. But the traffic became one way. So it's natural to jump ship when the blog format became popular, and when I could find more like minded bloggers well after 2004.
Which blogs do you read?
I subscribe to all the blogs in my links. Even for my less favorable authors, I read at least the title of the entries.
What appeals to you about the blogs you read?
It has to be something not too superficial about interactions between call girls and their clients, and that I can identify with.
Whose writing do you particularly admire?
Nia of course, when I have enough energy to cope with the current events and issues. Otherwise, it has to be college call girl. The details keep me interested, even without writing about sex (I'm highly visual anyway). Particularly, I know much more about say London than New York.
In your reading do you seek out different points of view ?
Naturally, just on the legalization front I think I'm different from everybody else.
How do you choose items to link?
I list all the postings that I find particularly interesting for any reasons. As for authors, I'm rethinking about it all the time. Currently I list all authors that claim they are or have been available for hire.
What is your policy on comments?
Minimal, just enough to prevent advertising spam robots.
Do you ever receive abusive comments , how do you handle it ?
Yes, and I'm so proud of them that I always link to them with highest profile.
Where do you find interesting links?
From postings that I read.
Do you ever write to provoke a reaction, how do you do that ?
I don't remember any except for James - open fire first and apologize later.
How much traffic do you get?
It's irrelevant for me as, like most bloggers after a while, you know how to be popular, but that is just not what I want. On Barbie Dolls, I get over 100 hits a day.
What is your rank on technorati?
I opened an account and never looked back. I think the links to yourself counts.
Has your writing changed since you started blogging?
I camouflaged my writing style and content a little when I started this new blog. Now it's 100% me, except for some confessions that I can't make at this point.
How many hours do you spend online a day?
A few minutes to catch up with the subscriptions.
How much time do you spend on your site a day?
When I write, it's when I have 10 minutes here and there, in between DVR time, snack time, and some other chores. The reminiscing could take a lot longer though.
How many blogs do you read?
All blogs in my link and more.
How do you find new blogs?
Follow links in other blogger's postings.
How much reader email do you get?
Very little, a player does not fancy commitments, and if you know what RTFF means, you'll understand.
What do you think makes a successful blog?
The same thing that makes a successful call girl - sell what people want to buy.
What is your advice for a new blogger?
A moment of glory isn't forever.
How has blogging changed your life?
Nothing, it reflects my life.
What blogs do you think deserve wider recognition and why?
College call girl, who is able and willing to write about the reality as I know it. I'm sure everybody else, like me, has some wild secrets that they cannot confess yet.
What are your hobbies?
Sex tapes.
How has your blog changed over the years?
It started as a john's adventure but now it's more of a memoir. I'm sure it will change again, or I'll be rich.
Are you fairly accurate in predicting which of your items will be widely linked?
Very accurate, as my contents aren't suitable for linking.
Do you have a background in writing?
Believe it or not, my work has to get into document form before it counts. So I write for a living, and in English. But I enjoy writing in my own let the hair down style.
When do you blog?
Late night if not on DVR.
With regard to blogging what was your most memorable moment?
When, for a brief moment, I felt Clandestine call girl liked me for what I am. The same feeling from a call girl who likes me (as long as I pay the going rate).
Would you read your site?
I enjoying reading my own posts, reminiscing along the way.

Shopkeepers exchange sex in return for clothes

I had mentioned in my unexpected requests post that I had seen escorts offering their services on messageboards in exchange for different services.
These are Bluesladys comments in the unexpected requests post
"I have had offers of work in exchange for "favours". I have also had artists offering to let me have their work in exchange for mine.
The reason I always decline has nothing to do with undervaluing either individual, but simply it crosses boundaries, or makes them fuzzy at the edges. There is nothing quite as clinical as cold hard cash at the end of a lovely encounter. Everyone knows where they stand,and a return visit is far more likely :) "
I came across an interesting article yesterday, and women seem to be doing it in Iran.
1.Estimated number of Iranian women who work as prostitutes,300,000.
2.Average age of prostitutes in Iran 20. Many are girls who have run away from home.
In a smart boutique displaying an array of miniskirts and skimpy tops, the shopkeeper was too busy attending to his female customers to listen to a sermon on HIV/Aids. "I don't know anything about it at all. Come back after I've finished with my customers," he told the volunteer health education worker.
In the Qaem mall in north Tehran's affluent Tajrish district, where two floors are dedicated to women's fashion, several shopkeepers admitted to first-hand experience of receiving offers of sex. Arash, 23, said he had been propositioned 40 or 50 times in his store. "I reckon that 50% of shopkeepers have accepted sex in return for clothes," he said.
Ahmed Reza, 23, admitted having accepted such offers. "I was sitting outside the shop when two women came and said they wanted to try various manteaus [overcoats]," he said. "They asked for a bargain and I offered them the standard discount. But they said, 'We cannot pay that - if you give us a good discount and your mobile number, we will serve you'. So I gave them more discount and got their mobile numbers.
"I can tell a prostitute by their attitudes and body language. When she asks the price of something, I say it's much more than it really is. Then I reduce it when she asks for discount, so she think she's getting a great bargain and offers sex."
Deals between prostitutes and boutique owners raise fears over spread of disease, an article by Robert Tait of the Guardian.
Escort Advertising
I have come across some interesting posts by other bloggers regarding escorts advertising on the internet versus paper advertising.
LA Player has an intersting post on Price,Law and sex travel.
His post mentions that it is cheaper to advertise in the paper, where he is. This is not the case in the UK. Conversations that I have had with other escorts who advertise in papers, or magazines in London, prove that they spend more money on their advertising.
You pay X pounds to advertise on Eros per month. If I was to put an ad in my local paper it would cost me three times what I would pay for an Eros ad. The same applies to topshelf magazines. When the Herald Tribune ran ads, that was pretty expensive too, but the advertising was worth it. There are other magazines that are just as pricey. A friend had given me the name of a magazine that she used, that had rates that were in line with internet based sites. It did not work for me, but then I only advertised there for two months. I think the women who advertise in papers or magazines, are trying to cover all bases, and clearly not all clients look on the internet. The internet is easier for me. My friends who advertise in papers have hundreds, and I mean hundreds of calls per day. I could not deal with this. Their rates tend to be lower, in most cases, however they are busy. I believe you get more exposure on the internet. I am happy with internet advertising.
Here is a post from the Saafe site in the UK.Where to advertise.
Note that they do not mention any paper advertising. The cost of advertising on Punternet is very cheap and as they are the largest, most well known site in the UK, they send lots of traffic to anyone who advertises on there. On Captain 69, you pay for yearly membership, which is reasonable, and you can advertise on there.
Glengarry Leads has just come back from LA, and his post shows that paper advertising is working there.
Scarface thinks it is money down the drain in his post.
I know that it works for some escorts, but it is not a form of advertising that I want to use, as I am happy with what I do. As I said, the volume of calls is a major deterrent for me. I think there are also limitations on what you can put in your ads.
I read this story yesterday, and have so much respect for what Oprah Winfrey does.
Oprah Winfrey was already the planet's most watched talkshow host, one of America's most successful magazine publishers, a billionaire, an Oscar-nominated actor, the most important black philanthropist in the US and, according to several assessments, the most influential woman in the world.
So from one perspective, the school that she opened for 152 poor South African girls outside Johannesburg yesterday was perhaps not all that significant. But that was not how it felt for Buhle Zulu, 12, who found herself whisked from sleeping on a floor with six family members in Soweto to her own bedroom and bathroom in the site, funded with $40m (£20m) of Winfrey's $1.5bn fortune. The Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls also features computer and science laboratories, a theatre, library, gymnasium, health centre, sports fields and beauty salon.
"I went to their homes. I know all of them by name. Their story is my story," Winfrey said. She had chosen "every brick, tile, sheet and spoon" in the academy herself, she added.
Mr Mandela, the 88-year-old former South African president, was helped to the stage by Winfrey. "The key to any country's future is in educating its youth," he told the audience. "Oprah is therefore not only investing in a few young individuals but in the future of our country. We are indebted to her for her selfless efforts. This is a lady that, despite her own disadvantaged background, has become one of the benefactors of the disadvantaged throughout the world and we should congratulate her for that."
