Additional revenue streams for MT's

I wanted to ask my massage community what do you do to add additional revenue into your practice? Do you sell retail products, are you involved with network marketing, do you conduct workshops and seminars, or do you provide onsite chair massage outside of your office?

I am looking for ideas to help bring in money without overusing my body. Any suggestions or ideas that you currently use or have tried in the past will be helpful.

We've found that a lot of MTs have blended careers. meaning they practice another profession in addition to bodywork. There was an excellent feature a couple of articles a few months ago in Massage & Bodywork magazine about this subject, check them out here and here. For some general tips on increasing the success of your practice, check out this article by Eric Brown from the end of last year. And of course, don't forget all the marketing tips and materials you get as part of your ABMP membership! Just login at abmp.com and poke around a bit, especially in the Marketing section--there's bound to be something that will help give you some fresh ideas.
