Just Left the 'Industry', Need Advice!
Hello loves!
I haven't been on here in such a while!
I recently, just a few weeks ago finally 'left' escorting for good. And all the other adult odd jobs I would venture into from time to time.
I've been breaking out as a Dating and Relationship Coach for Single Women -- working hard on building my business, marketing, etc.
But I'm REALLY not connecting with it. At all. I don't want to talk about and give advice on fucking dating tips. I'm sorry.
After talking with a spiritual guide, a friend, a coach, meditating hard on this shit... I'm realizing that I'm being called to use and share this part of my life to help others. I'm feeling like instead I need to offer coaching services to current or ex industry leaders/members.
That being said, I don't really know where to start! Would any one every be interested in this? Has any one or does anyone currently see a coach, a therapist, etc.?
I want to offer free coaching/a beta program to anyone that's interested and would love some suggestions or advice on where else to go to advertise/be 'seen' by anyone who may be interested and to see if this is a viable way to use my gifts.
Thoughts/suggestions/questions greatly appreciated!

I think there is definitely room for a sex worker coach.
The first step as I see it would be to create a website/blog. A free one would be fine. A section with the highlights of what you did and achieved in the adult industry and what the site sets out to help with.
Then blog articles on pertinent topics - not just the easy stuff - but the harder topics aren't often tackled. By sharing the website and blog in support forums then the right clients will read your articles and approach you.
Sex work is often a secret, so having a blog would establish trust and your perspective.

I would be interested in talking to you about being a test subject. I do pretty well, but I would like to step it up a notch and I am one lazy girl. ;-}
That being said, something that establishes credibility is a huge thing. As you well know, ladies in this business have extremely refined bullshit detectors. So you need something that will address that. A website and blog is a really good first step. We need to know who you are (more or less), why you are legit, what are you offering and why is it worth the price?
Also, you may need to refine your audience a little (or maybe not). Current sex workers and former sex workers are going to need/want different things. Are you going to serve both markets in different ways or focus on one or the other?
