I've had some how-to requests, so this one is for the ladies.....
1. Enroll in
Google Voice. I have used both pre-paid cell phones and Google Voice and find
Voice to be best. If you have an iPhone, you can download the google voice app,
that way you can check all messages even without Internet access. GV also has
the benefit of blocking numbers. Pre-paid cell phone minutes can get pricey if you are busy.
Program all male friends’ phone numbers in the event they
unknowingly respond to ads. NEVER use this phone number for anything else.
2. Purchase
unscented oil (preferably grapeseed/jojoba/coconut, not baby/mineral oil),
unscented lotion (quick-absorbing such as Eucerin), sheets, hand towels, and
essential oils (men like peppermint and eucalyptus) to sprinkle in the room to
cover up the smell of ejaculate.
3. Select a
venue. Men don’t appear to mind a residence as long as it’s discreet, clean,
and private. If you work out of the home, I recommend a massage table rather
than a spare bed (overstock, Sam’s Club, and amazon all have massage tables for
less than $150). Most men are better behaved on a massage table. It’s also
easier to scoot out of the way if they get too grabby.
The best option, in my opinion, is to rent a small,
private studio. To minimize expenses, look for massage therapists who would
be willing to share space. Many masseuses don’t work weekends and evenings and
might be willing to sublease for cheap. This also prevents needing to buy a
massage table right away. If you choose this option, be prepared to answer
where you went to school and where you worked before. I don’t think most will
verify but if you stutter rather give a fluid response, you might cause
suspicion.
4. Get a
creative accountant. If you are not a licensed massage therapist, you’ll need
to come up with a source (i.e. self-employed occupation) to explain your
lifestyle (even if you don’t deposit a lot of cash), particularly the home you
live in and car you drive. If you stiff the IRS and you’ll risk paying more in
penalties than if you had paid a modest sum annually.
5. Advertise on
places such as backpage/411/Eros under Body Rubs but not before you are one
hour away from being ready to take clients. Placing a fresh ad on backpage is
like spilling a drop of blood in shark-infested waters. Be prepared to
immediately take appointments.
Be clear that you don’t offer escort services, because many
men will assume this as most escorts advertise under both the escort and body
rub categories. It’s best to pay for backpage ads with a prepaid
visa/mastercard/etc rather than your personal credit card. Just as with a
prepaid cell phone paid with cash, a prepaid credit card (paid for in cash, of
course) would be pretty difficult to trace.
If you services are limited to body rubs (mine are), I
encourage you to include “Not an Escort” in the ad, because many escorts still
advertise under body rubs. Are you willing to be massaged by the client? If
not, you might want to add “No switch rubs” or “No mutual massage.” I believe
it’s best to be upfront to prevent disgruntled clients.
6. Develop a
standard operating procedure (SOP). Even if it’s just you, it’s a potentially
lucrative business and you should think of what you will and won’t do, options,
prices, etc. If you budge on any of the items on your no list, you will regret
it, trust me. Giving more doesn’t necessarily equate to earning more. Some
other things to consider in the SOP is whether you should allow dating clients
(I say no), going fully nude (again, a no-no), kissing (never!) and giving
discounts to returning customers or just hot, well-behaved ones (yes!), and
incentives to regulars who write favorable reviews, which is critical when you
are no longer the new girl.
7. Take great
full body lingerie photos. Probably showing both the face and body gets the
best response, but that’s not a risk I’m willing to take so I just go with my
body. Guy#1 took my pictures, ostensibly for my Melissa Blade profile. I’m not
a fan of the self-portrait in the bathroom mirror, seems reminiscent of the
hyper meth addict in a hurry to make a buck.
8. Create a
fake name and email account and keep all separate from the real you. When it’s
time to move on, you can delete your email account, toss the prepaid cell in a
Dumpster and if you’ve been careful, friends and family never have to know.
