So much for being down 12 hrs…
September 16th, 2009I thought this would happen. Niteflirt said they’d be down for 12 hrs. and lo and behold…they’re down for 39 and counting. They say they’ll be back up at 6 pm PST today, but who knows if that’s actually going to happen. They could get to 5:59 and then say “Oh, oops, we won’t be back up til midnight!”
I’m afraid that this is only the first in a long line of deadlines they miss by a mile. Honestly, I’m not worried about putting on a brave face for my customers and acting like nothing’s wrong. One of the main things my callers tell me they like so much about me is that I’m not fake. I tell it like it is. If I’m having a bad day, I say I’m having a bad day. If I’m freaked out about something, I’m gonna say it.
However, I have a pretty fun life and if something fun is going on, I talk about that too!
All that said, I’m not leaving Niteflirt. They are still by and far the best solution out there for what I do. They’re secure, pay on time and lately I’ve been optimistic about the future there. I’m disappointed that they have been down for so long when they said only 12 hrs., but hopefully it will be worth it to be on a new platform that’s glitch free. Not to mention the fact that they say we’ll be getting NEW features eventually. The thought that we might be able to SMS text our clients sometime in the future makes my whole body tingle.
I sent out an email telling you all how you can help during the next few months while us flirts are without a lot of the features we’ve grown to rely on. I’ll post it here as well because these are things that will help ANY flirt. I’m sure a lot of you will be wanting to help the girls you call regularly.
1. If it’s been more than 30 days since you’ve contacted a flirt, instead of using your “favorites” list, surf to their listing from the main page of Niteflirt. You might have to go kinda deep, since we don’t know where our listings will show up, but don’t sort by “highest rated”. Stay in that main list that it defaults to and just look for them. It’s complicated to explain why this will help, but it will.
2. Leave feedback. A lot of flirts have stopped caring about ratings, but having points does help when there are guys who sort by “highest rated.”
3. CALL! Some flirts might be experiencing a slow down because they’re no longer able to affect their positioning in the lists. Just giving them your business will help. If you don’t tip, think about starting? Even a few dollars will be appreciated.
4. Share your creativity! Have an idea for something you think your favorite flirt could sell to her clients? Email her and ask her to do it!
5. A lot of us will be marketing ourselves in new venues. If a flirt has a top site link on her site, click it and VOTE for her!
I hope those were some useful suggestions. End of depressing business talk! hah
In other news, I started talking to Erin again recently. I’d stopped talking to her altogether back in April, after six months of scant contact and canceling on me multiple times, I just told her to forget it. Then the other day, I texted her in a little fit of anger and she called me. She’s really not doing too well.
I ended up flying to Portland on Saturday to go see her and help her out. She’s still with her douchebag of a boyfriend (god, that guy is a loser), and their lives are not going smoothly right now. It’s possible that we’ll be doing 2 girl calls again here sometime soon. That was SO much fun, I can’t wait to do it again.
We didn’t sleep together when I went up there, but I’m sure we would if she came down here alone. What her man doesn’t know won’t hurt him!
Erin’s kinda old news though. Remember that girl I said I had a huge crush on and was going to see at a party the day after I met her? I didn’t end up seeing her the next day because I didn’t go (turns out she didn’t either), but I came across an opportunity to contact her yesterday so I did! I asked our mutual friend for her number and called her. We’re going on a double date this weekend! YAY!!
I don’t really know if she’s into girls, but she saw me kiss a girl, so she knows that *I* am at least. I mean, I think she was into me, we hung out a lot that night…but my gaydar might be off, ya know? I guess we’ll see! Wouldn’t it be funny if we went on a double date and the two GIRLS ended up hooking up?
We’re supposed to go hot tubbing after the date…mmm I can’t wait to see her in a bikini!! YUM!
Ok, I’m off to get some stuff done around the house. Keep your fingers crossed that Niteflirt comes back up at 6 pm! I’ve been having withdrawals and I know a lot of you have too!
