Why I Gave Up Gold Membership
|
Why I Gave Up Gold Membership I was asked in a chat room a few days ago why I quit being a gold member of this site. I have been a member of FriendFinder-x for well over a dozen years. I have chatted with a lot of interesting people and even made friends with a few, but I have been in a financial downward spiral for a while now (too old, too educated and too much experience to land a full time job anywhere, so I work part time in the retail industry making a whopping $9.00 an hour - $9.33 as of January 1st), and some things just had to go. FriendFinder-x was one of the things that was eliminated from my new budget for 2017, along with cable tv, unlimited data and texts on my cell, hot food a few days a week, going out to eat, health insurance, and pretty much almost anything Sabrina related (like makeup and new heels and dresses) and so much more. 5 months ago I started my own business to help with my financial situation. I opened an online<b> hosiery </font></b>boutique which caters to the trans and larger women community (although I now carry small and medium for you skinny bitches). I love the<b> hosiery </font></b>I sell. I thought that I would bring all this beautiful European<b> hosiery </font></b>here and sell them at really great prices so that you can feel luxurious. I'll give you an example "Secrets In Lace" sells sheer 100% Nylon Stockings for $21.95. They are made on the same exact machine (Reading Machine) that my stockings are made on and I sell mine for a lot less. I am not as well known as SIL, and I also don't have my name stamped to the welt, but they are the same quality<b> hosiery. </font></b>The same goes for my Fully Fashioned stockings and my reinforced heel and toe stockings. I opened a business I am passionate about and should be doing well in, but I am consistently being beat in sales every month by a few other competitors who have flashier websites and charge a lot more than I do. What do they have that I don't? Models. Real female models modelling their products. Sex sells people and I don't have $1000's of dollars to spend on hiring models like they do. I can't compete with the hotness of a Secrets in Lace model, if I could I'd probably be a world famous model myself. So I tried the next best thing, direct marketing and offering to post sexy photos and videos of me wearing my products when I reach sales goals. I added a dozen videos of me wearing the<b> hosiery </font></b>I sell and received a bunch of likes and false promises from people on this site to purchase from me if I add more... stupid me. None of you came through. I sent 1000's of messages to the TG/CD/TV community here on FriendFinder-x. I would sit here on my days off, all day sending up to a 100 messages a day to my trans sisters asking them to visit and give me a chance to be their official<b> hosiery </font></b>store. I would be on my webcam wearing a certain brand and trying to let people know about my store and what products I offer. I had 100's of trans girls from here promise to buy, I saved all their messages (of course I can no longer read them not being a gold member) and would follow up. Let them know I got something new in, let them know I ordered their size, let them know I had coupons and sales and a contest to give a free pair of fully fashioned stockings away. But only 1 person on this site has become a customer. 1 out of roughly 2,000+ people I contacted on FriendFinder-x bought from me. She is now a friend and customer because I provide great customer service and am there for my customers. Try that with any other<b> hosiery </font></b>seller, ask them to chat with you for an hour or two about what to get, what the<b> hosiery </font></b>feels like, what to wear with it, etc... let me know what they say. So, a friend told me to try Facebook. She said there are a lot of trans girls on Facebook and they are more serious about dressing and being feminine than on here. So I did. She was right. On Facebook I have made friends with about 100 fellow trans girls, and 8 of them are now customers of mine. They are way more into being feminine and looking their best. Not that there aren't some really cute t-girls on here, but it just seems to be I hate to sound cold and business like, but the cost to benefit ratio on Facebook is so much better than on here. Also on Facebook I don't have to put up with men and their 1-2 word messages every day. So to summarize, I am on FriendFinder-x a lot less and I don't get on my webcam very much anymore, I have taken down all my videos and the hundreds of photos I had on here because in the end, 99 percent of you were not interested in helping a person succeed you only wanted to jack off to my photos and videos. I wish you all the best in whatever it is you are looking for from this site. I can no longer look at any of your profiles or read messages from anyone, and my chat room and IM are also limited.
