xScorts

Quick, what’s better than running your own porn tube site? That’s right – running an escort site. The profits are larger, the service is sexier and you can scale like a mad man if you play your cards right. There’s always going to be a need for more escorts in the world. It’s a different competitive field than the shit you get with porn tubes, since they have been saturated since the get-go. Escort sites will never run into that problem. Sure, you still have competitors, but your biggest concern is encouraging more escorts to sign up for your services. That’s what it always boils down to.

Enter Adent’s XScorts template. You found it – the single-click one-time payment solution to all of your escort management problems. Technically, it’s a site template. But, there’s so much more under the hood of this amazing script. I’ve said it before; I’ll say it again – they shouldn’t call these scripts. That makes them sound humble. They’re basically site-wide systems that are ready to go out of the box. You get your hands on a hosting solution, you buy XScorts and you plop it in. Then, you just populate your site with escorts and you’re good to go. Don’t forget the payment integration, though. Just like that, you’re ready to start making money.

A Sexy Landing Page

They went for a very chill outlook with the colors and menus. Keep in mind; I’m going off of what I can see on the demo page. You should check out the demo page too, since it’s basically a live preview of what your site is going to look like if you were to use Xscorts. It’s modern, but without any moving pieces. I like this approach to web design. They mostly let the content do the talking. You get a giant banner with a sexy picture of a large-breasted babe, to remind the customers what they’re here for. They can enter their country and city if they want to narrow down geographically and then they’re on their way to finding the perfect woman for the night.

Further down, you can see the featured escorts. This is a section that the admin, in this case you, would set up with a list of escorts you are willing to promote. Save the best babes for this section. The home page is likely to be the first thing that people see when they arrive on your site, so you want to hide the dog-faced women behind a tarp or something. Bury them on page 10. Save the featured section for the babes that look like supermodels. Do whatever it takes to reduce your bounce rate. These babes are both your product and your advertising. I don’t see a lot of escort sites running third-party ads or decorating their website with free smut that isn’t related to the actual escorts. So, you have to encourage your babes to try and float to the top of the home page. That’s how you get your retention rate up.

Nothing Too Impressive

The visual template for Xscorts looks… simple. Maybe it’s a bit too simple; I don’t know. If this were a WordPress template, I wouldn’t mind too much, because I know I could edit in a bunch of crap if I needed to. With WordPress, you just pick some plugins out of a hat and they just work out of the box. I don’t think that’s how Xscorts intends you to use their site. I think that what you see is what you get and there’s no way to gussy up the website with additional tricks from up your sleeve.

For example, I don’t see any live chat optionality on here. I also don’t see any live streams or video embeds. Yeah, they might be easy to insert after the fact, but I doubt they’re a part of the actual script. This is a problem for me, since moving titties are better than static titties. It’s a basic fact of life. Then, there’s also the fact that there are literally no marketing widgets on the site. I don’t even think you can push notifications through Xscorts.

I can’t guarantee any of this, since these features are neither listed nor are they a guaranteed no. You’d have to reach out to Adent and check with them. If their script is compatible with third-party plugins, then none of this would matter. And yes, I know you can also just add Google Analytics to your site regardless of what engine you’re using, but I wish they’d go at length describing the process.

Built-In Analytics

They do, however, talk about their own built-in analytics and how that ties into the payment system. Xscorts seems to be a closed system that’s planned entirely around a merchant structure. You’re the merchant and you’re selling a service. The escorts provide the service and you check your numbers at the end of the week. You get a bunch of simple metrics like your profits, their geographical data and of course, the actual performance metrics for every individual girl.

These are great basic metrics, but I don’t see them doing much for the actual SEO and PPC of your site. I don’t think that the template dives that deep. You’d have to use an external tool for your marketing and the internal tool for your sales. I like having one dashboard for a single business. I don’t like splitting my attention.

Still, it’s nice to see that the tools within the site are all integrated towards that one profit dashboard. I’m guessing that Adent were trying to create a script that would work great on offshore VPS’s. They even outright say that you’ll need a VPS to even install the damn thing. You can’t just host it locally or whatever. That’s a bit of a weird requirement, when you consider that literally any web server functions as a VPS in practice. But, I guess they’re encouraging you to protect yourself. Escort sites often get attacked both by pirates and by people that hate escort services. There are a lot of crazy white knights out there.

My recommendation to you is that you try the Xscorts demo and see how you like it. If the design works for you and all the payment methodology covers your expectations, just roll with it. It’s really not that expensive. You pay $399, once and you have it for life. This also includes the cost of installation. They do it for you. They even throw in 6 months of free support, though I doubt that’s going to allow you to request custom features. I mean, you could ask them, for sure. I doubt they’d say yes. You’re also privy to all the upgrades to the script that arrive down the line, which makes sense. It’s not like they’re losing money by throwing bug fixes your way.

They do also offer you a free domain and a 75% discount on VPS hosting with one of their partner sites. I have zero opinions on that, since their partner is a separate service that I have no personal experience with. They’re called M3Server and they seem to specialize in Adent script hosting. It’s pretty rare to see a hosting site dedicated to a specific type of platform, but maybe this is just an affiliate marketing page and they cater to other types of industry as well. Again, you can drop them an e-mail and ask.

All in all, Xscorts does seem to deliver everything that they promise. They’re an out of the box solution for webmasters who want to get into the escort business overnight. After you pay for the script and you get your VPS up and running, you’re officially ready to start making money. Don’t forget what I said about the payment methods though. That’s entirely on you. Plus, you have to take into account the legality and compatibility of the escort service and the actual payment gateways. Not every payment gateway feels the same about escort services. Personally, I think you should just figure out a way to receive payments over Bitcoin and be done with it. The simpler, the better. I can’t think of anything simpler than cryptocurrency.

Failing that, just try to find a payment gateway that is open to the escort industry and preferably hosted somewhere offshore. Then, put your VPS somewhere offshore as well and pay some money to go completely virtual through several proxies. Hide your shit. Remember, you’re not the only one who’s under attack when hackers start knocking on your door. The personal information of your escorts is also at risk. Do not take any chances, all right?
