The Internet Escort’s Handbook: How To Make A Fucking Profit

We got a bit uppity yesterday about people who are mean to hookers, but we were quickly reminded that not everyone is out to get them. In fact, some people are actually looking out for them, in particular, those who have been "on the job" and know what a challenge it is. Like Amanda Brooks, a former escort who has self-published her own guide to sex work: "The Internet Escort's Handbook, Book 1."

A little clueless herself when she first started out in the sex game, Amanda figured out that with a little business sense and the right precautions, you can make a successful living as an escort-for-hire. More than just good advice, the book takes a look at sex and money and it's a reminder of how the "online revolution" (we totally just made that up) has changed the very nature of prostitution. Setting up your own corner of the internet is a heck of a lot safer than standing on a street corner (safer for the johns, too) and when done right, it can also make the life easier and more lucrative. Plus, when you're online you can talk like those adorable lolcats. Everyone loves them!
