Because, they are asking that I pay $1200

For the $1,200 they are offering me $500 in ā€œfreeā€ creditsā€¦.

Which I would argue were actually 500 credits I just paid $1200 forā€¦.

But my understanding of this original email I received is that this is an opportunity offering me the ability to test out the claim that my ad will in fact have 5000% more visibility at minimum

( which I assume Iā€™ll see in the analytics and understand that it may not necessarily lead to clients but the visibility is whatā€™s being offered to increase my chances of getting clients )

IN ADDITION to this opportunity to test out this claim for a minimum of 4 weeks so that the minimum 5000% claim of visibility can be reached in that time I would also be given 500 free credits added to my account

(500 credits would be an additional week (7 days) of national ad plus 200 remaining credits but I would assume Iā€™m free to use the credits on anything as I would had purchased the credits myself but assuming since the seller here seems to focus on the 5000% and national ad that once I seen the results I would want to continue purchasing this type of advertising and 1 week after I used the 500 credits towards this and had 200 remaining I would be at least satisfied enough to spend the $100 required for me to have another 7 day national ad in hopes Iā€™m so thrilled that after that 7 days I continue with this type of ad or at very least continue to see the value slixa offers my business and remain a paying customer of the site going forward.)

But I live in NYC and my slixa ad is usually a little over 100 credits a month so the 50ā€ credits would be obviously appreciated but it would only stretch so far because I would probably use them to try out some of the different options Iā€™m not sure about and havenā€™t tried for whatever the reason so less than 5 months definitely and Iā€™ve never hit a national ad so who knows I may actually love it, this email appears to me an offer to try that out.

This email does not at all appear to me an asking that I spend $1,200

As at least for me I have sent many many thousands of clients to slixa to view my ad and know this because of the analytics on my link list I use to show clients where all I can be foundā€¦..

However never once in my time using slixa in multiple cities now have I ever had a single client who has found me because they were just browsing slixa and found my ad nor has a single client so much as thought slixa was the place they may have saw my ad and unless Iā€™ve mentioned it to clients, they have never even spoke of slixa in any way, shape or form.

I personally like slixa, the way the ads look and otherwise have little complaints about its existence in general (I HATE the credit system I find it annoying and confusing, but whatever) I wish more clients used slixa and itā€™s actually free to post a ad in most cities I believe ā€¦. Could be wrong

But if ever I were to reduce my advertising cost slixa would be the first to go, because besides my liking it and theory that it possibly could be helping the clients who bother verifying me by utilizing my list of sites Iā€™m on and seeing slixa being one and trusting that because of its appearance maybe idk but that being what helps them feel confident Iā€™m real and continuing to book me and that belief that the possibility exists to some extent is the only actual reason I have in paying for slixa PERIOD.

So I just wanted to confirm what Iā€™m reading in this email appears to others the same as it does myself before I send a reply to the response I just got asking me for $1200 and then having the audacity to then insult me by saying Iā€™m being given free credits that in reality I actually paid over 700 for and could have just paid the 500 if thatā€™s what was willing to pay slixa ever for anything and why in the fuck I would be willing to invest in this $1200 sales pitch simply because they and literally not a single sex worker anywhere that I have ever seen said my $1200 investment was worth paying is beyond my ability to comprehend and the level of stupidity they think I must be to also then believe Iā€™ve been offered an opportunity free of cost to me by being gifted this 500 fucking credits I sincerely find offensive as fuck personally and also angers me that a very real possibility exists some other sex worker may have also gotten this email who may not be aware communities such as this even exist to know slixa is not a poppin site that will have clients pouring in regardless of the type of ad placed really pisses me off that they would exploit us like that because I donā€™t see click bait here that upon further reading makes clear Iā€™ll be paying $1200

I also didnā€™t see anything click bait like in their response instructing me to create a national ad on my account they would then post and credit me 500 credits

I was only aware of my investment of $1200 in the most recent email which just tells me to pay it for 4 weeks worth of time and still avoids mentioning the cost of that being 300 per 7 days itā€™s now and only now making clear will come at some expense to myself thankfully Iā€™m aware of since their credit system is complex as is the difference in national vs city banner which I feel would be further exploited by someone paying for the wrong amount of credits possibly a few times before finding out the actual cost of what they are asking and never saying will be in fact $1200 out of pocket before qualifying for this so slixa comes out ahead every step of the way profiting from this confusion as they wonā€™t refund you just simply not ā€œgiftā€ you the 500 credits you didnā€™t qualify for
