Lots of Questions
I am getting a lot of questions from therapists just starting out and thought maybe a discussion group could serve as a reference point for them.
This time of transition is a delicate time. So many therapists lose confidence. Do not let this be you. This group is here to help you make it. You ARE one of us!
There is now an alliance forming for therapists and students at the Massage Therapy Alliance of America. Click on this link for details http://www.mtaamassage.org

I would like to extend an invitation to list in my holistic wellness directory. The basic listing is free and gives you a listing under your name and also under your state. The premium listing is $20/year that allows you more exposure, links, a photo and submission of articles. The link is http://www.synergisticcenter.com/Directory-listing-form.html

I had the same issues recently. My first 3 months or so, I had similar hand pain that got unbearable. I was also having issues down my arm. A combination of a couple visits to the chiropractor, trigger point work, and stretches for the scalenes has taken care of it for me. I also had to take a good look at body mechanics, I was holding tension in my neck that didn't help matters.. Good Luck!

How many of us say, when we go to work, "I Have To Give A Massage".
Don't do it!
Read this quick article, the idea which came from Richard Carlson, PH.D., on how to make comments with a more positive outlook and attitude.

Facebook Advertising and Facebook Marketing is much more involved than just learning how to place 'pay-per-click' ads on Facebook.
I've put together (and will continue to expand) a webpage that contains a ton of free marketing and advertising tips on how to utilize Facebook to attract clients.
Please stop by and visit, here: Facebook Advertising.
Also, please share your favorite applications on Facebook, any great articles that have assisted you, etc., etc. I will then add them to this webpage.
Thanks and have an excellent day!

The tax deadline is over (for most) and now the CPA's are relaxing.
Wow...as a massage therapist, can we find a better target market???
Send me an e-mail to: kris.kelley@yahoo.com if you'd like me to e-mail you a letter I mail out to all the CPA's in my area. This letter is in the format of MS Word. No, you won't be added to my mailing list or anything else. I'll JUST send you the letter. Now, if you'd like more in-depth information on what I'm doing, please sign up for my Ezine here: MMS Ezine
Use this template and substitute your own personal information and experience.
Perform a quick search on the Internet for CPA's in your area. (CPA=Certified Public Accountant). Get their mailing address. Or, grab a telephone book and find them.
Ensure you personalize EVERY letter with the CPA's first name.
Example: In the letter is says, Dear (name). Ensure you put each CPA's name here. Ensure you do this throughout the letter where personalization is needed.
Print these off on some good quality colored paper. Nothing to flashy, yet something to get their attention.
Next, you need to personalize your envelopes so that your mailers even get opened!
This is extremely important (how to create your mailer enevelopes) and is often overlooked.
Here's how to create a proper mailer envelope: Get Your Mailers Opened!
If you send this out to fifty CPA's, what's this going to cost? Thirty bucks?? Or....
Save your postage and drive to their office! (The postage $'s will go towards gas).
Prior to this though, ensure you've personalized your letters to each CPA in the office. (Many CPA's have offices with multiple CPA's in one office). This shows a personal touch as well as you can discuss your 'Stressed Out CPA Massage Package' with the receptionist or administrative assistant. Most administrative assistants I know work just as hard (or harder) as everyone else!
If you can drum up conversation with the receptionist all the better. Some will even want to read your letter to see what it contains. Include them in your offer! Also, if you've managed to strike up a conversation, they may give you tips on how to re-create your letter to better suit each CPA and their individual wants and needs.
OK, let's get to work!

P.S. Find out when 'extensions' for sumitting taxes are due, then you can run this letter past your CPA's at that time as well!
