My PHD in hooking Chapter 8
Choosing a wise web designer and Photographer
Lets Start with a photographer
1- You do not reply to every Tom, dick, and harry that says they can take your pictures for you. Just because someone owns a digital camera, does not mean that are a photographer or that they have your best interest at heart.
2- Google Professional Photographers in (city) your area.
3- Make sure they have a studio, and no, this doesnt mean an empty bedroom in their home. I have an office in my home. This does not mean I have an offfice in some corporate building. It's a vacant bedroom. LOL
4- Make sure their email is joeschmoe@myphotostudio.com ( or their server ) .meaning.They have a site with their Portfolio, and an email that matches it.
5- Check out other escorts or girls in the industry he has photographed. Perhaps even email these girls and get a reference on him if you can.
6- Make sure his models arent all in the same style. You don't want your pics to look like all the other girls in your area. You want to stand out.
7- when taking pics- refrain from nudity, fingers in your cookie, etc. Men look for style and grace. Ya seen one cookie ya seen them all. If ya want weirdos and free pic mongers, by all means.. Shove a beer bottle up there if you wish. However, A pro will not take these sort of pics unless he caters to porn stars.
8-Make sure his replies to your emails are free flowing and consistant. No one cares that he has shoots in LA, NYC and Toronto. A pro wants your business and will sit on top of his emails.You dont want to be just another subject to him or another one of his jobs.
9-you are paying for the photos. DO NOT LEAVE HIS STUDIO without your discs. These are YOUR photos, you paid him for them. Any professional photographer will have his computers hooked up in his studios. I have three Pro photographers. And this is how they all work.
10- if you dont like your pics the first time. DO NOT GO BACK AGAIN FOR ANOTHER SESSION. find someone else. A pro will know how to capture the real you after 15 minutes in his studio. You have already exuded to him a personality. He should know how to capture it.
Ps/ If any girls wants the name of my photographer.. Email me .

web designers..
Now heres a crash course and if you are a GOOD web designer reading this, you will not get mad. If you suck..Its rightfully ok for you to get mad.
First lets talk about what a web designers job is.
He/she designs your site.
well, big deal, my 14 yr old can design your site too!! this does not make a good designer simply because he is proficient in html. 5th graders are learning html in computer labs at school !
Your web designer knows that your whois info is to be kept private and she/he signs you up with FAKE info.
Your web designer knows what a registrar/host is .
Your web designer keeps up to date on when your domain renews, and when your registrar/host renews so you never experience downtime from your site.
you always pay for one year or three years. HE/she emails you to let you know when payment is due again.
Your domain costs never anymore than 15.95 a month... your hosts never costs more than 10 a year. Do NOT let them schiester you.Webmasters come and webmasters go... depending on their abilities and
customer service, how you are as a client, price, budget, etc. Owning and
administering your domain name and hosting account keeps control in your
hands and saves you money in the process. For a registrar, I recommend
Godaddy.com (avoid the extras when signing up). Webair.com is an
outstanding host. It is $10 per month for a basic plan. Bounceweb.com is
also pretty good. There it will cost you about $5 per month (but customer
services is not as good as webair.com).
Your hosting account is also something you should own and maintain. It is
very easy to sign up for one. There are a plethora of good hosts and for a
text/graphics site (most are), it shouldn't cost more than $10 per month.
Once you have your host, you have your FTP username and password (afterall
you created it). You can allow your webmaster access by giving it to
him/her or even setting up an FTP account for them through the control
panel. Be sure when signing up to supply an email address that you will
have for a long time to come. That is where payment reminders are sent.
Your web designer charges you for many things.
Make sure your template is different and stands out from the rest. A great example is www.highheelsdesigns.com. Look at her portfolio of accounts. Every girls site is different. you'd never know the same designer made them all
Marketing
A good designer knows how to include you in Search engines. They are a good SEO. This means Search engine optimization.Or they at least tries to. They title your page, they add metatags and keywords so Google, yahoo, etc, will pick you up when someone types in Wyoming Escorts. Or whatever the area. SEO is also something not many web designers truly understand. There are
many who think they know it. Some really do but most do not. An easy way
to tell is to look for where their sites are placed. If their only "claim
to fame" is their site comes up first when searching for "kukla fran and
ollie webmasters", so what? That is not a competitive search space. A much
more telling thing to check is where do they place when searching for
something broader and widescale. I could write volumes about SEO. Bottom
line is se placement is another category of service. Your webmaster should
indeed be familiar with the onsite factors and incorporate them but actual
strong placement is a process that requires varying degrees of action as a
function of how competitive is your search space. It also takes time to do
it right and obtain lasting results
After you pay for your site, and all it entails.. it is YOUR RIGHT TO HAVE YOUR FTP INFORMATION. THis is the pass and username to your server. It does NOT belong to them simply because they made your site.
You paid them to set things up and design it.. It is YOURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR USERNAME AND PASS TO HAVE !!!
NOT THIERS..
There is no need to tell your designer your real name, info etc.
If you pay your designer for updates, it is their responsibility to do so. Pick a date during the month and send out all your updates ,banner exchanges etc for them to update on that same day every month.
As an adult oriented Web person , he /she knows what
article 18 USC 2257 is. They know the laws of escorting. What should and shouldn't be on your site despite what you want. If you want, My services are BBBJ
CIM .. etc...He/she will know not to put this.They will work with you. ( many girls get busted simply by their site alone.
They will know to put your domain on a server that is overseas where this industry is legal.
Again, look at their portfolios of other girls they have done domains for. Email them and ask about their reputation as a designer.
Always make a backup copy of your site. Incase your designer is irresponsible and your domain goes down for non notification of your yearly payment with registrar or domain. Always keep this disc in a private place. If you dont know how to do it, Find someone whom does..
