Any other massage therapist out there freaking out about how they're going to pay the bills? Ever since bp shut down I've be so slow. Ive only had 5 clients this week and they were my regulars. I finally caught on to post in the dating section just a couple of days ago but that didn't help. I just need someone to talk to .
Sorry to hear that. We assume demand must still be there, so it is just a matter of finding the best advertising stream. It might take some time to settle in.
For certain ladies, not her
It will settle down at some point but who knows when.
Since I'm a visiting provider I do not have that privilege of having regulars here as you MN providers have other then couple but how many times will they come see me within the week. Not many 😒😒.... My phone use to ring off the hook (time wasters included) but it's been very quiet, a call here & there... I also tried to post in the wsm section but someone flagged my ad which is classless!!!! Thank goodness for ter & p411 (also thanks to rude providers, I got a client last night cuz the provider he contacted was so rude to him so he moved onto the next aka me on his list). But some other advertising venue will pop up... Unfortunately it's going to take time. Everyone is suffering so just breath & be positive..
Happy weekend everyone!!!

Thanks hun ! Be safe !
A couple of other possibilities are My Provider Guide and also A Sexy Service.
the first days after were hardest but people are figuring out how to find us. Still a little slower than usual though. Like I'm free tonight and usually saturday is pretty easy to book for me idk?
Just get on LinkedIn and start networking for another job just like anyone else when they actually lose their job. Sheesh.
You're always so rude for no reason at all. It's very sad
Only towards the few select providers who deserve it for various reasons. You are one in that select group, just a handful of you lol.
What have I ever done to you?
I'd say make the best of their suggestions.
Here's some more, you mite want to have a regular give you a honest review so we know what's offered etc.Also price point there aren't that many fat cats to go around for a higher priced New gal, and some of the gals are way out of line. It seems the price of pussy has went up substantially over the last couple years, where most guys have the same amount of hobby money translates to less visits. GOOD LUCK
Well said! I agree totally. Mathematics do not lie. With everything else going up except for incomes you are forced to cut back on non essentials first. I suspect we are long overdue for a price correction in everything including the hobby.
Exactly Vorlon. Good advice as usual.
When he was banned from posting he'd PM providers who posted on the Minnesota board with his unsolicited nonsense. He can't control himself. Has nothing to do with you hun.
Wasn't banned from posting. Was busy and chose to not post as some of us have a life other than TER. Maybe you should try it.
May have been busy, but the not being allowed to post also played a part.
I'm not taking OTB's side on this (he Is becoming a nuisance) but why would ter admin announce that he was suspended? I am familiar with US history but not ter history. Has ter admin called anyone out like this in the past? I don't think they should have confirmed that he was prohibited from posting his negativity
If you believe TER, they'll tell you they don't have moderators in MN.
But it sure seems like it's a local "unbiased" opinion to many of us.
Sorry I've been a bit of a nuisance. Other things starting to happen so I doubt I'll be bothering you much from here on out.
It is ok to admit to all of us that you were suspended OTB. Everyone knows that you were. Others have been suspended in the past and more will be in the future.
You said sorry, which was nice of you but it was very general and not specific enough. I'm no WK but you stepped over the line quite a few times. You have a lot to offer this board and I hope you stay but if you feel you must go then I wish you the best.
I think TER moderators have to consider what is best for their own bottom line. If I was in TER's boots a lot of posters would get the boot for the destructive effect they have on the forum, and therefore on TER's bottom line. This really isn't the public square and they can censor as much as they like -- whether I like it or not -- and yes, some of my posts have been yanked.

With the demise of BP MN needs a healthy board where ladies aren't afraid to post. Anything done to make this board nicer are welcome. This is a community and only the admins can effectively police it. I'd like to see more negative posters banned, they usually add nothing but spite and hatred to some threads.
I'd recommend a special. I look at some of these massage rates for 200 and it's absurd, especially if the provider doesn't even do b2b and other things to and just do a rub n tug
Specials.
And you're spot on about the absurd $200 rub and tug girls. I get more bang for my buck AND enjoyment at a $60/hr Asian massage parlor.

No one likes getting less money but that's life. Your posts and Amy other s like it feels like a sob story and free advertising. This isn't a charity and providers aren't going to give discounts 99.99% of the time because they feel bad for a hobbyist so move on and find something to supplement your income. If we brought up our income is down to our boss or friends, most would say who cares, that's life. Go do something about it
Also you should diversify your ad campaign. I am surprised by the number of p411 gals who don't check in every day. Just signing in bumps your name to the top of the listings there. The number of ads here in the ad board is small compared to the number of providers out there. I'm sure neither of these two things bring in a zillion customers. But they are something and really should only take a few seconds per day.
Someone last summer said he saw a gal running around the lakes with her P number spelled out on her chest.
Hit everything you can find -- and keep it current.
start posting on some other sites and see what clicks.
have you tried using the "Available Now" feature on p411?
Good luck
No I haven't tried that . thanks!
The rent, is too damned high!
I find it pretty amusing that some of these providers keep raising rates in a down economy, and then the first advertising wrinkle pops up and it's time to clutch the pearls? Lol
I'll agree with this in the general way, mark down a product that isn't moving. You can always raise prices when the demand improves.

Link YOUR reviews to your posts here.
That way everyone will be able to read your reviews rather than wasting our time by making us go through all the different "Chanel's" and wondering which one is you.
No use trying to hide them from us.
I am a firm believer of when business is slow that is the best time to work on your business.
Have you got new photos recently? How is your optimization on your website doing? Are you networking with other ladies?
From my own personal perspective my business doesn't come from boards. Do I advertise on them Absoultly YESS!! Make sure you are marketing yourself so that people can find you.
What sets yourself apart from ever other massage lady? You can run a special as a means to an end, but what happens when you stop running that special? Running a special may drum up short term business, but many guys that see you on a special aren't really return clients unless you run that special again.
Have you thought about opening your menu up a little more? If that is not something you feel comfortable with maybe pick up a part time job.
Slow business is the perfect time to figure out who you are as a provider and where you would like to go from here on out. What works for one lady, doesn't necessarily work for another. When I first got started, I wanted to see every guy on the board and meet as many new people as possible. This was all for me to get to know what type of provider I wanted to be. Now, I prefer to see guys that want to get to know me as a person. I don't necessarily have to watch the Clock and I get a lot more free range as what we can do in an appointment. I fully get to enjoy myself and have a blast.
With all said and done, don't forget to advertise! Their is a list on p411 of places to advertise you may want to check that out!
Nicely said girl!!!
Also be NICE to clients... I say this cause in the past week I've had not one but 2 clients being turned off by Mannerisms. Guys who contact you don't want snottiness or demands... Yes there are jackasses but you get more honey aka money being sweet then being rude...
Hang in there ladies. This is only temporary, there will be another venue opening up, that's a guarantee!!! Hmmmm maybe I should create one 😜😜😜😜
Happy Monday everyone!!!

"in the past week I've had not one but 2 clients being turned off by Mannerisms."
You mean they came to you because other providers were rude to them, or you were rude to them and turned them off? I assume the former. They tell you this? I usually don't discuss that sort of thing.

Referring to other...
You are a man of very few few words.. But yes they related this to me but did not name which providers.
I suppose I am reticent, but I thought it was common to keep mum about other providers/clients during a session. Or maybe generalized comments don't count.
I don't see why there would be a concern over generalized comments. And if it's not something you want to discuss during a session, simply change the subject.
I called up a provider recently who had never answered my calls, thinking she might be more receptive under the advertising circumstances. Sure enough, she answered my call. Then she NCNS'd me. SMDH.
I wonder if it was one of the providers posting here...
Doubtful it's MsChambers but otherwise, it could very easily be AbbiMinx or Chanel. They both have the history of doing NCNS at least once.
Sorry you were treated this way.
I've never Ncns anyone before .
I have enjoyed the company of Abby minx and actually find her to be a lovely person and provider.
False. Never have I NCNS anyone.
You're butt hurt you were caught in a lie and wrote a nasty message about me that was removed.
Give it up.

First lesson you should have learned before becoming a "provider".

It's no one who posts here. She's a BP girl with decent reviews. Shit, if I had more spending money, I'd give Abbi a try.
