As I move away from performing outcall massage now that I've my own massage room, I'm going to be creating numerous massage videos to market myself.
Do YOU have a video of you and or your massage practice?
I've used videos in other retail businesses I've owned and operated, yet have been fortunate with my outcall business to never really need them. As I've a solid client base, any new clients came via word of mouth. Yet, with this new 'massage room' opportunity, I'm going to begin from scratch!
Here are a couple links to a couple quick massage videos I made just yesterday, on the fly. I'll be the first to admit they are very amateurish, but here's the point: We all must begin somewhere! Obviously I'll get the tripod out, my good video camera (these massage videos were taken with a cheap camera that's probably at least 10 years old) and make them more professional prior to posting on my massage website.
So, get that camera out! Almost all cell phones, cameras, etc., etc., now take video. Why not practice just a bit? That's what I'm doing. Get some exposure and get some advice from fellow massage therapists!
Here's a link to explaining a bit more on Why we needs videos on our websites:
Here's the two massage videos I put up yesterday:

Hi again, Angela!
Before I reply to your comments, let me touch on the topic of massage videos and how powerful they are. Just within the last two and a half hours of posting my massage videos I've already attracted two new clients. One gentlemen found me via the video, called me to schedule, and one just found me on Facebook. (If you look up my profile, Kris Kelley, you'll see a new client there.)
People LOVE (short) personal videos. They see we are actually 'human.' Much more, but I'm out of Internet time for today. I've clients to tend too!
Ok, on to your questions. I'd rather not get specific as to what I pay, but it's on a percentage split, with a capped off amount going to Dr. Kenny. The room is included, with all utilities paid by the establishment. I think if one can get a room and pay somewhere around 20% or 30% to the location, that's a good deal. I don't like flat rental monthly fees due to the fact that...let's say it takes 3 months to get your practice rolling. Well, the renter is still taking your money regardless of if you have business or not. If the room rent is very low, well, then that's a good deal, but I don't see many of them around ;)
As to working with Dr. Kenny, we're pretty seperated. He has two CA's (chiropractic assistants who are also well seasoned massage therapists.) Dr. Kenny also has the student clinic he needs to attend too. So, it's up to me to grow my own business. I'm not concerned either about the $30.00 student clinic massages as I've my own marketing in place. ;) In a more 'normal' setting other than my own, yes, the therapist would hopefully be able to treat the Dr.'s patients and get paid that way.
Gotta run...
