I finally ended my MF membership last month. I’m sick and tired of all the strict policies, exorbitant fees, and low return on investment. I have been on the fence about leaving for a long time.
To make the decision, I conducted a test. I ran generous specials for two weeks, something equivalent to 50% off, just to see if that would attract a lot more inquiries. I expected many, but only got a few hits, mostly from visitors.
The visitors business doesn’t really help because the idea is to bring in new potential repeat business, not someone who would likely see me only once. I appreciate the bookings, but tbh these people would have booked me at full price anyway.
The other hits were from clients who also viewed my RentMasseur ad and were asking for the discount. One of them booked me through RentMasseur and then a day later viewed my MF profile and asked after the fact if he could get the MF special I was running. That was the last straw. I canceled his appointment, telling him that I could no longer give him 100% of my effort. I would rather not have the appointment than deliver subpar service knowing this client is willing to pay full price but now isn’t because I was running the deep discount test.
I canceled MF right then and there. No regrets. I get plenty of business from RentMasseur. If anything, I am using the savings to double down boosting my RM ads with paid extra advertising features. So far it’s working nicely.
So basically I have been paying MF a steep premium for the privilege of having to discount to get new business…when all the while most clients are viewing my RentMasseur ad anyways. And many of them are willing to book me at my normal rates. The value is just not there, at least not for me.
MF works best for therapeutic only providers.

Tbph it's not a very good site. It has very limited controls, many restrictions and is most expressive.

Regarding things like deposits, in my experience. I do ask for deposits if:
1.) They want me to travel internationally
2.) They repeatedly ask for custom videos / replies to horny messages throughout the day.
This in my opinion is a fair ask, they don’t need to pay it. However I’ll not be responding to messages like: “You have my new speedo pics for me”, “have you ever fucked someone so hard they piss themselves I really love that if you can do it to me”.
These types of messages go hand-in-hand with time wasters, and I’ll not allow my time to be wasted. I’ll respond and engage with them to a large extent but they should be prepared to pay for that time.

ReynST reacted to studchaser in RM guy stole my deposit -- any recourse? July 22

I disagree about no to deposits. It sucks when ppl aren't honest but clients play games too!!! Clients will ask for oics claim they are booking and the day of "get sick" or simply ghost. Providers need some kind of assurance if they are traveling say an hour or more or clearing their schedule for a significant amount of time.

If a guy is new on the scene or has a questionable reputation you have to gauge your risks adequately but a blanket no to deposits is unwarranted. In most businesses a contractor is getting something before the job starts. Fair is fair

This is one of my go to guys when I need bodywork. The therapeutic value of his massage is solid. I understand he only does sensual work with clients with whom he's established a rapport but he's also just really ... chill. Be open and honest about what you want and ask for it. He won't be offended or put off.
I understand I have a biased perspective, but even so I'd recommend going back the few extra times. You can make much worse choices.
... also, the kid is massive

ReynST reacted to + ApexNomad in Starting Massage as a Side Hustle June 10

I’ll speak strictly as a client—so I defer to the professionals who actually do this for a living, but I’ll say this: If you’re offering a service, especially one where people are paying you for your time, body, and energy, then you need to communicate why someone should choose you.
Right now, this reads more like a fantasy than a business. You mention being turned on by the idea of getting paid, but from a client’s perspective, that doesn’t tell me what I’m getting in return. What makes you good at this? What’s your style, your vibe, your niche? Is it sensual, therapeutic, deep-tissue, connection-based? Are you intuitive, strong-handed, good with nervous clients? Etc.
This might be a side hustle for you, but to a client spending real money, it’s not a side experience. So if you’re serious, advertise with intention. Let us know what makes you worth booking—beyond the fact that you enjoy it.

Ditto. Just ditto.
It being the holiday period with less traffic on the highways, I took the drive out to La Mesa for a 90-minute session with Reyn. Just a fantastic experience. Excellent therapeutic massage with NUDEMT extra (see the blog post in his rentmasseur ad). Totally recommended.
