Honestly I think that its beginning to suffer one of the things that mainstream porn has and that is Blurred lines.
I have mentioned this before and been laughed at but let me explain.
The porn industry made a huge mistake many years ago by starting to blurr the lines of reality and the internet. By this I mean shooting videos of a 26 year old woman and calling her a teen. On some girls it works for a while but once they become known and the cat is out of the bag, they stop selling as well.
Using a woman in her 50's and calling her a MILF even though there is no evidence of a child. Remember that MILF stands for MOM I would like to fuck. Or using a 20 year old with no obvious signs of being a mom. Not even a wedding band.
Similar has happened in the escort business.
Some of these women are getting their images photo shopped into something they really are not. Once word gets around, well people stop calling or at least less people call. Also the amount of Identity theft that is going on with the photos and videos is amazing. We get at least 2 notices a week of people running ads of our girls in places that these girls have never been. And the sad thing is the images they use, these girls could never ever pass for.
Then add in the lower economy, the worry of doom and gloom preached daily on the news and all the other negative things and yes the sales in the industry have take some hits and some swings.
Locally the girls are telling us that escort sales are way down.Webmaster: http://anatranny.com http://tsKarlaCarrillo.com and many more.

Escorting is still pretty lucrative in my opinion, especially in North America.
Conventional porn is dying. However, there is some rooms for interactive porn.
I'm thinking of doing it that in few years. Do you think people will buy that?
I start posting snapshot and video clips on my facebook, similar to interactive porn, just not hard core, and gradually my facebook's page has become more popular than my website, showing that people love one on one interaction. O well...obviously it's not exactly one on one of course..but it seems like one.

I like statistics, on average my facebook's page being checked by 604 people daily (data taken from July 31 2013)
Let's wait and see....i'm excited with all the changes in this industry as well.
As a provider, i dont have any choice but to follow the current

The answer is, of course, NO.
You made a very good point and I will use the same example you provided. The porn industry is always going to be there with the only difference that to become successful in the industry today, you have to come up with something authentic and new to gain more audience given the fierce competition!
It is easy to notice that a lot of porn these days is just overtly fake and not convincing to the average viewers. But there are still few porn website that deliver something authentic and specialized towards certain fetishes and they have their own followers. In other words, using the 80s and 90s tactics are not helpful these days.
The same applies for escorting. It is not enough these days to put a couple of pictures there to attract clients. You have to bring something new and convince the people that you are authentic. Speaking of authenticity and as you have alluded, photo shopping is a major drawback. I can sympathize with minor touches which are very common even for movie stars, but I really can't understand the benefits of excessive photo shopping that I see in some ads. As you correctly pointed out, once the words are spelled out, the involved provider will be affected.
I also heard from many clients that they will never see a provider with heavily touched pictures unless she also display non photoshopped pictures. So some clients are smart enough to figure that out and some choose to follow the illusions!
What most people don't realize is that in this business and if you are aiming to stay in one location, you would have to build your own clientele as you can't always rely on new comers. It is the repeat clients that maintains the provider's business and not the occasional ones!

hehehe.. sorry if I sounded like people would stop watching porn. No of course they wont. But they will become more careful in what they buy and buy from Brands more so than from independant.
Same thing could " COULD " happen with escorts in general.
The only people being hurt in the long run by using overly chopped photos, and or photos of someone else is a decline in the individuals sales. With social being what it is today and advancing every day, the girls that do this will lose more and more money.
At least thats what I am seeing.Webmaster: http://anatranny.com http://tsKarlaCarrillo.com and many more.

Your can incorporate your twitter feed right into the members area as well as FB and many others. Just have to know how.
The guys want to know you. The more photos you shoot of yourself doing real life things, the more you will gain their trust that you are not just a model and only interested in the money.
Fans are very very important and deserve just a touch of your time weather they pay or not. 1 fan can knock down a house of cards. ( not that you have built a house of cards, ) Just a figure of speech.Webmaster: http://anatranny.com http://tsKarlaCarrillo.com and many more.

If I offer to sell you a hummer for 40K and tell you all about it and describe it and show you a package of what its going to look like and you then decide to buy, how will you feel when you get in to drive away after having paid and it has a VW bug engine?
Thats what a lot of sites are doing. On the outside they show the target content. then the members area is loaded with content that just does not quite match the niche they are selling.
No a ring does not make a mom and yes lots of moms dont have rings but if you are into MILF porn dont you think that there should at least be some sign that the girl is a MOM? You CAN NOT show the kid in the photos with her so how do you prove its a mom? Stretch marks are one way. Boobs that have had milk and show signs of this. that sort of thing.
If a TGirl advertises she has a 10 inch cock and then arrives at the door sporting 4.5 inches, someone is not going to be happy.

less demand? eh? lol..
Maybe in her city/state that's the case, but I'd think escorting is a recession proof industry.
Also, I think as shemale porn is probably the biggest growing porn genre, it lends to heightened demand for TS escorts.
Think of it, who had heard of TSs 15 years ago? I was in my late teens then, and I hadn't. I'd think at that time, most TS porn was amateur from Brazil or some such, which is maybe why most TS porn even today comes from Brazil.

I have mentioned this before,
it is simple economics really:
In the past the supply of tgirls did not meet the demand.
Demand was very elastic and the seller can demand high prices.
Natural market forces have caused the supply to meet or exceed demand.
Also in Canada the barriers to entering the tgirl escort market have decreased.
Relaxed escort laws, easier access to free advertising and the reach of the internet.
Also there is still little enforcement of escort licensing and taxation.
No equipment or education is required to escort, so theoretically any attractive person can do it.
When there is few barriers to entry markets become over supplied and prices drop.
The elasticity of demand has decreased and the amount you can charge compared to the average is limited.
Plus this product is fairly homogenous so there is not much differentiation between providers really.
This is where service and reliability really pays.
Adam Smith said markets will naturally balance themselves over time.
I'd disagree regarding differentiation. In GG escorts, there are mature, black, white, East Asian, Indian, BBW, slim, blonde, brunette, big boobs, small boobs, etc. There is a type to match any type a man would have for non-paid dating/sex. Same is true in TS escorts. If one really likes East Asian or black TSs then he can find many in a big North American or European city. I would say though that because TS porn is big now, then demand for TS escorts has increased. I doubt in the 80s or 90s, there were as many TS escorts about.

That's true theoretically...but if you see at specific cases, especially from tgirl's point of you, don't you think the market is becoming less lucrative for us.
Though i totally agree that the market is definitely not in decline and the pie is getting bigger...but...it's just getting harder and tougher for new girls to establish their names, don;t you think?
Anyway keep going.....
That said, it will be the escorts who provide the best services/get the best reviews that will come out on top (no pun intended lulzz..!) The Web has been the biggest boon for escorting perhaps ever because with good reviews one can see which escorts are good or bad.

I agree.
Maybe we can work on something once i decide to work on interactive porn someday when i'm semi retired.
Do you think people will like my natural and tomboy look?
I hate wearing make up....
I hope they do

I do however, plan to offer professional service for those who are eager to be in this competitive industry. For those who follow my advice, i will guarantee earning at least 200K annually. This is billions dollars business after all.
Wait and see....
Rather for your expertise in world wide travel. I don't want to reinvent the wheels, I want to make better ones than those that are existing!

We have to have a good drive and positive thinking in this industry to start with.
the moment you will be able to charge the starting rate of, let's say $300 or even better $400 an hour, and people are still lining up. I personally will come and salute you in Ottawa.
Why?
Because you will be the second escort in that category who will be able to do that, besides me (when I was flat chested) in Canada
my reason:
as an escorts we can charge whatever price we want to charge, but the clients (the market) ultimately will decide whether or not the "price" is right. The moment you charge $300 or $400 an hour or even more for some escorts, you will move to "upscale market", catering the service primarily to professionals and business men. When you are still busy in this category, that is really something to celebrate!
good luck
