When I think about it, you're probably right. At least collectively by all those that help out doing the bookings to see how many are B&S. The sex workers view me as a time waster so they complain to NZG that they are no getting enough bookings or people like me that walk away because they're not up to standard.

You know what that's going to do? It won't make my job any easier. Those that would have advertised on NZG will just end up going to Escortify. The punters still have to sift through it all anyways.
 
This NZG trial of putting the advertisers phone number behind a paywall? This is just wacko, how many of the curious eyeballs think a members lounge membership worth pulling out the credit card for. Like most who have a penis I also like porn, but it doesn't mean I'll ever subscribe...

Once the punters shift, advertisers will follow them. The market is ripe for someone to see what NZG did right in its early days. Credibility coaxes the curious & risk adverse into finally jumping into the market and to bring that credibility back again - Forums also help fill the gap.

Mr AF recently let slip that NZG claims 800k eyeballs a month... I call BS but adding a paywall when their competitor doesn't, expect a 99% of those eyes to bugger off - they learnt nothing from the AF exodus.

What stops me from finding an Profile on NZG, jumping over to Escortify or even Google, putting her name into the search box and finding their number for free?

If you happen to be a WG advertising in the testing market, it might be a good time to run a test of your own. Try the alternative or pay a premium waiting for the phone not to ring, it'll give them good feedback.

Yep they've never not been out of touch with us.

I'm advising my regulars to keep the numbers of their favourite girls and those they're interested in seeing.

A number of us also have our own websites with contact details or are on social media so remember to search us.
 
AI thinks it's a daft idea too.
---
Charging users to access contact information is a high-risk strategy that rarely makes sense for general advertising platforms, as it fundamentally conflicts with the goal of generating leads. While it may offer a short-term revenue boost, it typically leads to a significant decline in user engagement and advertiser value.

1. Impact on User Traffic and Engagement
Implementing a paywall for basic information like a phone number usually results in a sharp drop in traffic.
  • User Friction: Forcing users to pay for contact details creates immediate friction, often causing them to abandon the platform entirely.
  • Traffic Decline: Similar to digital news paywalls, which have seen visits drop by over 50% upon implementation, an advertising platform would likely see a massive decrease in active users.
  • Competing Platforms: Users are highly likely to migrate to free competitors where the same information remains accessible without cost.
2. Impact on Advertiser Profitability
Charging users can decrease the platform's ability to charge advertisers more, as it devalues the advertising space.
  • Reduced Lead Volume: If users cannot easily access phone numbers, the number of leads generated for advertisers will plummet.
  • Lower Ad Revenue: A decline in traffic leads to fewer ad impressions and lower click-through rates (CTR), which often offsets any gains from user fees.
  • Advertiser Exodus: Advertisers pay for "reach" and "conversions." If a platform intentionally restricts access to their contact info, advertisers may view the platform as ineffective and move their budgets to platforms with higher engagement.
 
Very few of us even post in the 'Members Lounge', so using that as a selling point is disingenuous.

Why would we want to post content for free... when we should be encouraging clients if they want to see 'more' than the ample amount of images available on our ads...to come and see us in the flesh! Plus we can get paid for our content elsewhere anyway.

Next thing is we will start getting nagged by punters to post in the Members Lounge, because now that they are paying for it they will feel entitled to US providing that. Which actually creates more pointless contact and time sucking for us, not less!

Ava, they have never understood (or valued) the fact punters drive their demand and that WG's are savvy enough to follow the eyeballs.

You have an effective feedback opportunity by discontinuing your advert during their trial period. I'm guessing they have not offered any compensation or discount for the likely drop in booking enquires to encourage you keep paying during their testing.

The only way to have a company change course is to pull on their Revenue strings. Until then any feedback is just noise - you have to prove it.
 
They won't be getting any payments from me. This is dummer than making the red witch a moderator. Looks like it's a race to the bottom for NZG. Or maybe readying for a sale. It's the same sort of stupid arrogance that sunk AF. Just shows NZG don't have any idea how the Asian scene works.

This is clearly a load of rubbish, if it was about the girls wanting to reduce time wasters they'd add the option to hide their number from non-members, not force the issue.

I would like us all the remember that time OF decided they weren't about porn anymore, lasted fuck all time as they back pedalled hard.

This will be no different. When you forget that your business is connecting people, and make people pay for it instead when there are other alternatives? Brain dead idea.
