"Punters on esa forget that esa is not the only site to advertise on and not all punters read this forum. Perhaps their lack of interest is due to them having better things to do then run around handing out pacifiers, like getting bookings in from other sites for their girls and catering to their expanding regular list of clients. I was on another site after I was banned from esa, and my business only increased, so what you guys say on here reaches but a drop of potential business. It's only those few that only advertise on esa that risk having their entire livelihoods messed up by a handful of punters!"
Veronica Franco, I would like to call you out on the statement you made above. You are disingenuous and dishonest, if what you say is true that you got more business from other web sites why are you back on ESA?
I was not around when you got banned, I don't know what you got banned for nor do I care. 50 000 plus people read this forum daily, I know this because I have access to real data, not thumb suck information like you are writing here. You should be careful about insulting the very web site that feeds you.
Kind regards,
Erin

Okay, To answer your first question, I was banned for years, yet I lived in a 5 bedroom mansion in Houghton during the coarse of those years and my lifestyle was second to none. After being banned, I thought my business would crumble, having only ever had one ad on esa and one here and there on those various sites, which brought in money, but not as much as esa. Esa worked/works best when youre online grabbing attention. I tried to have an ad and passively sit on the sidelines same as so many others not active on the forum, but it doesnt bring in the same amount of business as being active, hence, I'm yet again using the features, which does work wonderfully, so I cannot bash esa on any merit concerning income. I just need to take initiative and learn how to be a good girl.
I had to invest more money into advertising back then and given that your'e active on esa or a supermodel with 5 star ratings, the cost is very reasonable, but it was not the end of me when I was banned as so many on esa thought. Granted, I spent more money on advertising, but it was possible to survive beyond esa. I even get old esa clients that thought I disappeared all those years ago still welcoming me back because esa was all they knew, but so many of the clients, who didn't bargain or complain about my fees never even knew what esa was and were shocked when they discovered theres a rating system and forum to discuss this as a lifestyle for some.
Perhaps my wording was wrong in what I tried to get across and perhaps I'm still not conveying myself right. I was not knocking esa, that was the last thing I intended. Certain comments got under my skin due to superiority complexes thinking that if they destroy someones business on a forum, that they have taken the place down and they take the liberty of knocking what the place charges and expect some grand ass kissing gesture of apology from the owners. They think they have this immense power and say in the industry, but fail to realize, this forum is but a drop in the advertising pool and many are not interested in posting or reading it and many do not even know about it, regardless of the stats you present.
Kickass reckoned if I came back in 2014, that I would do well again. I left a lot in others hands, but I didn't really give a rats ass back then and agreed. I am happy to be back, although I struggled for all these years because I honestly didn't want to be an attention whore again. I was tired and depressed. The guys on here rarely realize what it takes to withstand their bashing, insults and their perception that they have this great power over us. That is one reason why I am so verbal. I do not have a huge ego as others might perceive and I hate the pedestal some put me on, it's a curse to be honest, so that thread or this one is not aimed at stroking my non existent ego. You would be shocked to learn how little I have actually thought of myself for years, but No one has power over me, including the few big egos here. It has nothing to do with esa and I apologize for making you feel that I insulted esa, but as adults, we should know and recognize that there is competition out there, that maybe doesn't even come close to competing with esa in terms of the features etc that you offer, but the clients on here do not have the power or means to take someone down for making a mistake or not falling to their knees and begging for forgiveness.
Again, I apologize. I was wrong in bringing the integrity of the site into a school yard fight. I was not thinking clearly in terms of posting. A poster had to tell me before I was even aware that I had insulted esa. I have witnessed the site grow from strength to strength and I recognize the undeniable success of it and the effort put in on a daily basis.
My apologies to Erin, Eddie and everyone else that makes this site a success.
Regards, V.
