so like, this Don LaPrie guy says I can make money by placing small classified ads...

I just need to buy his course...

Basically you are asking for $2000.00 so someone can call themselves a pimp.

Nothing more.

This is stupid.

thank you for voicing your opinion, we will take it into consideration :winkwink:

actually, what bums me out the most is that this is like franchising a degradation factory for any females who want to make some extra money.

it isn't just doing shoots or video in a controlled enviroment, it is like saying to a girl "hey, we will whore you out ANY way we can make a buck off you."

"one on one, dancing, parties, modelling - if someone will pay us for your sweet, sweet ass, we will gladly facilitate it! don't worry your pretty little head about those complex money issues, we will make sure you're taken care of!"

who is recruiting the girls? if it is each local franchise, do you screen them for past offenses? get to know if they are people you would want repping your brand name, or if they have $2k are they ok by you?

do you give them brochures on effective manipulation and sales techniques for bringing new girls into the stable? a copy of the book "Pimp" by Iceberg Slim? some Too Short records? copies of "Pimps Up, Hoes Down" on DVD? guides on breaking a bitch written by Mr. White Folks...?

yea you can make money by doing that too, if you do it rather than just talk about it and scrutinize it..... its just like MLM, if you use it to your advatage, you can make alot of money doing it regardless of the product or the company, you are just using the concept to your advantage. :)

bottom line is our concept is innovative and our plan is effective.

x: a life lesson to all reading this post, dont sit around and think about things and analyze them to hard, run with them and adapt to the changes. you will become more successful that way.

everyone involved in our operation shares the same vision.... life doesnt come with instructions, if you think that a little bird is going to fly to you and spell out for you how to become succesful, you need to change your mentality. you need to take a chance at something new and adapt to the changes that come with it. we are providing a vehicle. the people involved with our operation are using this vehicle to create a lifestyle for themselves they only dreamt about. its true most are already successful and doing it as a side venture, but being a part of something in the begining that is expanding so quickly is a reward in itself. seeing other's succeed with us is far more important than anything else.

i wish the best of luck and good health to all of the skeptics replying to this post :thumbsup

Im really puzzled by your comments and bashings. I read in one post where you were a content shooter and was complaining about girls not showing up? now you are lecturing me on exploiting women?

to answer your question, we deal with "booking agents" which are also contractors who recruit entertainers and also secure bookings for the company. they recieve %'s off of the entertainers they recruit as well as the bookings they secure, they also recieve bonuses for recruiting other "booking agents".

if you are really in the content business, you should know that you can never have to many talent scouts running around recruiting entertainers. the world is a huge place with alot of talent, the more people getting talent for you the merrier.

btw. we are not exploting anyone, we are providing work for entertainers looking for work. :thumbsup

AKFK, you must be drinking hatorade tonite :glugglug

:1orglaugh

Translation: The only people who are going to lay down $2000 for this PIMP FRANCHISE are the ones who have not analyzed the offer carefully or given any thought to the legal implications.

Don't forget pandering :winkwink:

Rob, I didn't even attempt to bash you let alone slander (libel actually) you. If I were to have set out to do that, trust me, that you'd know it.
As an ex dancer with quite a few years experience, I have seen this sort of BS before. Sans the net of course as it wasn't that big back then, but it was the same deal. We had a LOT of undercover cops, ATF agents and the like frequent the dance bars in this area and I knew quite a few pretty well. I asked about this sort of thing out of curiosity and they had ONE word... RICO.
Interstate sexual commerce (prostitution rings) seem/s to be against the law. You can call them entertainers, performers or what have you, but when the nickel drops, the "members" you speak of want sex, pure and simple. (Personal opinion that I'm sure any state level or higher attorney or police officer could answer much better) Of course, the company "agents" cover themselves with a "I didn't know she was selling sex..."

Very ethical. Start out with a lie on your lips to the cops. Smart way to do business. Let alone in THIS day and age the police have a dim view of this explanation to them and the courts hold you accountable anyhow. Yet again you slid under the questions-statements posed... mutual legal counsel?? WHO benefits??

Just the mention of a mutual legal defense fund probably shook you. That wouldn't benefit YOU eh? So you keep playing this as a upfront great opportunity. Keep us up to speed on how many of your "agents" end up as guests of the various states-countries they are operating in.

BTW, skeptic I'm not.... intelligent woman yes. So keep picking up those 2k signup fees from the 18 to 20 yr old kids. You should be able to make a HUGE success with your company. Good Luck! What was it that circus guy said?? There is a (fill in the blank) born every minute? :1orglaugh

Disclaimer: I am in NO way trying to talk anyone out of this HUGE deal! I understand from the originator himself that you stand to make thousands your first month. And exponentially increase that for a few years!! Retire by 25 and buy a Caribbean island (get a midget that says Boss... de plane de plane) :winkwink:

note to self: coffee before spelling.

when you go to a strip club you might want sex too, doesnt mean you are getting it. alot of dancers are also prostitutes, would it be fair for me to label you as a prostitute? you are making alot of assumptions. contracts hold up in the court of law. everything here is done by the book. we are merely booking entertainment. it is very clear in our policies and code of conduct that we do not condone, promote, endorse anything illegal whatsoever. is this concept that hard to understand?

as each representative of our company is running their own business, a mutual legal defense fund is not feasible. they are not employed by us per se.

what business are you in now btw? our business model proves effective in getting our entertainers work, since we have so many people promoting the company and finding work. we are growing every day. i hope that some of you will decide to grow with us.

gemini post a pic :)

You started this thread with the subject:

So Fantasy Entertainment is "hiring" people, but they won't be employed by Fantasy Entertainment.

And you're you're not promoting a franchise despite charging each of your non-employees a $2,000 fee for this turn-key business opportunity.

Sounds nice and straightforward to me! :eek7
