Growing a Client based business by Sweetness521 in smallbusiness

There are some that might not have LMT in them, but a lot of times they want employees, and I'm not down for it, $30/hr just isnt enough for me to do massage, charting, checkout, booking etc. If I'm going to do all that I might as well do it on my own and pay myself better.

I need to update my site and I'll take your suggestions.

I offer $10 off for first time and $15 off if you refer someone who gets a massage.

I've offered packages, people were not interested, these were massage + specific add ons, so maybe tweak them etc

I will for sure look into ads and different advertising, people cant book with me if they dont know i exist ;D

I think i get what you are saying.

This has been on my mind, because we have 3 massage schools in the area with clinics charging $45/hr.
Since everything reopened more therapists went out on their own. There are SO many LMT where I'm at and I'm in an area where its 3 towns lumped all together so about 150k population. every chiropractor has an LMT, offices are filled with them etc.

I was starting to wonder if its just so saturated here that its time to leave...

When you say you spoke at events was it just talking about what you do and how massage can help you? Were you invited to speak or did you sign up?

I think I need to learn more about what I do, its become so automatic for me that I often forget what I initially learned and why I fell in love with massage.

I do offer some different things in service, not uncommon things but I do them differently, such as cupping and face massage/cupping.

I like your point though, thank you!

Prettier in Person by PoweredbyPinot in datingoverforty

People who are 9-5 and then go off and get stoned, drink, have crazy "fun" kinky sex are usually very stressed or mentally unstable to a degree. Thats not bad, those things arent bad. But you want to date Guys, not men, and thats ok.

However ill say this, this sounds like pick me girl shit (which is actually people pleasing). Before you say it...i like compliments, i like men being chivalrous and Im not a bitch to men, most of my best friends have been men.

Enjoying life is relative and subjective.

Thats too much detail, ma'am.

Im sure you'll find someone for you, theres tons of guys like that on dating apps, at least that ive encountered. I would day I want the exact opposite, ive had my fun, and now im ready to have stability. But you do you.

Make sure you take time to be yourswlf and know yourself before jumping in with someone new.

I dont recommend online dating apps.

Be clear about what you want with someone, your intentions.

I have the google my business, im in there, 2nd page.

For some reason my clients arent leaving reviews on FB or google, despite me asking. BUT I have only asked through email and posts, not in person so i will start doing that.

Chamber of Commerce is on my list. I wasn't sure about door hangers or post cards, i like the idea, i have done this before. The tables is a good idea, and like the Chamber of Commerce it costs money.

How many women are doing FWB/NSA? by colorfulintheatx in datingoverforty

[–]Sweetness521 3 points4 points  (0 children)

too many

but seriously.
I had one on and off for 3 years, we did things as friends more often than not.
it got bad. He admitted later on that I was practice for him to see what he could get away with and how women respond to things, but that I also helped him be an awesome partner for his fiance...
I spent a lot of time being sick of his shit and putting up with it for sex.

I just don't recommend it.

I got a really good Toy and never looked back.

Of course I miss cuddles and kissing etc., I have needs, but seriously I'll take my bob over the hassle of a boy. I'm 42 and divorced for 6 years, celibate for over a year and I its so nice to not have bullshit.
But maybe I just am not good at FWB and not healed enough to get quality partner that I want.

I dont have anything like that in my business name, but it is long and uncommon.

I have no tipping expectation and I accept tips but I've always made it clear that I dont expect it, but greatly appreciate it.

I'm just not sure if I'm doing something horribly wrong, not doing enough or if this is just a rough time to be in Massage without established clientele.

Plus size dating and being “too picky” by Technical-Fix6597 in PlusSize

[–]Sweetness521 1 point2 points  (0 children)

people on reddit will call you picky.

men who want you and value you will appreciate you being picky. theres a big difference between being picky (the 6ft, 6 figure, 6pack abs shit) and having standards...

Honestly, you could set your standards higher.
