Hello, I'm new here.teeth_smile

I am trying to navigate the site but its a little overwhelming. I just haven't found where exactly to start.
My goal is to offer discrete therapeutic touch services and stress treatments while I finish school and get properly licensed for massage. I have many years of experience and have been adequately trained I just need to get my certifications in order.
I am a new mom again with 3 under 2. I had twins ( 3 weeks ago) within a year of my previous birth.
I had to leave my successful business behind in another city and I went through my savings on bed rest.
My previous city was not so conservative and over regulated.
I hope to find places to advertise possibly for free and work without interference until I have my license.
I am not a provider but I am an honest and caring practitioner.
I used to do massages and pedicures for ladies who worked in  "modeling studios" as well in brothels in major cities so I am somewhat familiar with TER.
I hope to offer relief from pain , spasm , or tension for people who just want to feel better . Some people in my area are very uptight and are more concerned about the license and will turn anyone in who is operating underground.
I hope there are still free websites for this business . I will have to google to see what is available.


Thank you for any suggestions.

I tried to register to build a site but couldn't get registered. It says "register" but there isn't any form for it that I could see. Is that site no longer offering websites?
i found another free website site and it isn't easy :/
I am not a web designer :(

i use escortsite.com and they are wonderful for my hosting needs. Although as you get acquainted and established in the biz you will probably want to upgrade your site.

of the men on this board expect erotic services to go along with that massage. Also, I would be very careful about using the word "massage" in any ads on escort boards, because it is a double whammy if you're caught.

Use the self help center, but until you have some type of ad on the web, you can't really advertise much here. I would think the first step is to start using FBSM and Massage venues to advertise, get at least 3 or 4 good photos, and set up a website eventually. You don't "need" a website to make money here, but it certainly does help when you have no reviews.

Maybe cruise the regional boards in your area, and see if any other providers might be offering the same thing as you, and ask them what they did to start. You could even work in a massage parlor, but those things seem to get busted all the time, so be very careful.

In many areas one must be a LMT to advertize "massage".  LMT are bound my a medical code of ethics & violations can cost you your license.  Some statutes describe 'massage' & can still prosecute violations.
Also, touching & body rubs can be problematic & get you arrested & fined for not having a license.  Some time ago, there was a postfrom a male masseuse...  the local licensing authority busted him for business premisis zoning violation, fire exits, unlicensed...  with big fines to run him out of town.  If you choose to work unlicensed, you need to screen...  even if you are not performing sex acts.  
This said, if you are not providing erotic services...  depending on where you advertize...  you'll still get requests & pressure for such services.  Again, there is a great risk of misunderstanding & possibly an disgruntled customer.  First they might demand a refund which I would suggest you give if they'll leave peacefully.  Second they might hurt you.  Third they might turn you in.  Fourth, they'll certainly use review sites like TER to hurt your business.  

This is all pretty basic & you are probably well aware but I thought I'd make sure the bases were covered.
Best Wishes,

Thank you for your concerns. They actually allow "therapeutic touch" here. I am offering a "stress treatment" but would still need to screen.
Some places you can't lay 1 finger on anyone without a license but regardless if LE has a hard on for body workers or providers they can harass you.
I posted an ad in the "other cities ads" board. I didn't say that I was just getting started. It will probably be obvious.
I will surf Eros and see what ads look like and what is in the text. Wish I had thought of that sooner :/

 Third they might turn you in- could this be why I am getting aggressive callers insisting that I gave them a "massage" and not a treatment or a foot massage that I offer online.    and that i told them "to say it was a treatment and a foot massage"  I denied it and hung up

I didn't realize I advertised on a "review site".
