Operating a successful massage therapy business “Hands Off”

Part:2

Hands off success in a massage therapy business, is what I believe all massage therapist need to consider, to operate and to expand, their massage practice. Massage therapy is a business that is built on the power of touch and that will always be there for us. But the very thing that built the massage industry can also be the very thing that will force the small massage business owner to an early retirement. You as a small massage business owner can only make as much as you work. This massage business is a very physical demanding job for most of us. It is this love for our work that will cost you your health eventually, for most of you not all.

Massage therapist love their work so much that they will often take that extra client when they call in for that emergency appointment even on their scheduled day off. This love for our massage business will often have you giving that discount for family and friends, but the bills need to be paid as well. So now we start to work more and take more last minute clients to make ends meet, does this sound like you?

What if I say to you that there is way to work your massage business, keep your body strong and take clients only when you wanted to and still, make enough money to support your business and yourself, would you be interested?

I was when I discovered the power of the internet, most massage therapist business owners are not internet, tech or computer savvy enough to utilize or realize this power. But when you do, it will allow you to work your business as much as you want or as little as you want, because the internet has the potential for generating an extra revenue stream that is literally, “hands off”.

There are 3 basic ways for you to make money online…

1. Affiliate programs (services or products)

2. Buying wholesale and retailing products

3. Creating your own products and services

The first two are great but they do not offer the profits margins or utilize the true potential that the net has to offer. Affiliate programs, is where you agree to sell other people’s products and then you split the sales. Buying wholesale requires you to handle a physical product not to mention the upfront cost of actually buying the products and packaging and shipping, this is not quite a “hands off” business model right?

Our goal is a “hands off” income stream that will support us and continue to make us money even when we are not working on clients. And to utilize the full power of the internet without buying anything or handling a physical product ever. In number 3 I mention creating your own product or service. The informational ebook is the easiest to make it and it is easily downloaded from any computer user that has an internet connection and it has the best potential for huge margins.

In a future post I will go into more detail on how to achieve this and the huge benefits that this has for you as a small massage therapy owner. Until then start thinking about a skill or technique that you personally have and would like to write about and sell on the internet, that people may want to read.
