A lot of SP's would want their pg photos kept to a smaller group, with a 1 day option the would be tons of screenshots taken.

As much as I wanna say this is a great idea coz as mentioned with the opentime analogy, you don't know what you don't know so you don't miss it and don't feel the need to pay for something you don't know which is paying for nothing. But if you docknow and see value, you will pay to have it all the time of it is valuable to you.

BUT, there is a big downside. There's already wgs paying 1 month gold memberships for fake profiles to review themselves and fake their way to high rankings and false trust to newbies that can't tell. Can you imagine the influx of selfies if they and all others have a cheap option now to get just a one day membership. Instead of a couple fake reviews a month per these wgs, we'll have 30-60 for the same wg from brand new gold membership punters and not to mention the amount of spam on the forum saying absolute bullshit to boost post count to fake some credibility.

It would most likely destroy the credibility of the review system further as most will have complete opposite experiences to the fakes and won't trust it and in reality the reviews are the main and maybe the only thing that sets ESA apart as a more trusted and reliable site.

Thanks N4P and all the other punters that provided decent feedback.

As per the feedback from "uwillwantme", I think a one day membership with limitations/restrictions is a good idea, i.e. no reviews etc. This will protect the review system.

For a punter like myself, I only visit these purple pages when I am looking to book a SP, which is very rarely. If I have the option to view the higher resolution photos I can make a more informed decision.

Peeeeriod!

It's not a question about affordability, and I didn't imply that in any way!

I have previously viewed your profile with a gold membership, and can quite confidently say that your profile doesn't appeal to me and I won't consider booking you.

Or a trial membership. Even Amazon,Netflix offered it as a marketing strategy to entice customers see their membership base. And about screenshots is there no way one can embed coding so it can't be done. One last suggestion what about giving regular longer members ie 1 year,3 year,5 year and 10 year discounts. That's just my one cent suggestion. Have a great evening everyone

That's quite alright sir ;) Not only am I a professional, one who doesn't aim to market herself out to appeal to any and everyone... but I've also done a deeply analytical thread on here and actually, hardly any (like less than 20%) of my total clientele, consists of members at all.

Furthermore, the only thing (in my profile) that a GM would see that others don't, is the gallery - and if that's what you base your appeal on, or take into consideration when booking, then I stand firmly by your point :) I wouldn't consider seeing you either.

Lastly, when I agreed to the above comment, it wasn't an attack on you - I didn't say YOU could not afford it, but that it should be kept to exclusivity. You had a suggestion, opening up the topic to the opinions and thoughts of others.
The fact that you took it personally speaks volumes.

Love and light x

Limited access makes sense, I know I can spend weeks without going on the site, and just need to get some additional info before booking, so I get where this may be coming from. Other side of the coin for me is having to be inventive when I pay via EFT - going with another theme on the site, we need burner sims, burner cars, maybe burner bank accounts (until I eventually look deeper into bitcoin).

Perhaps an option to pause your GM like the advertisers have could be a possibility. When you are on a punting break, or overseas, you could pause your GM, and upon your return unpause it
