Well, I'm back. I dropped the whole idea for all this time due to changes (good ones) to my financial situation, but now due to more changes (not so good ones), I'm considering it again.
But the same issues remain that I had before - nowhere to work.
I have been applying for COUNTLESS jobs at already established massage parlours, as in my particular case, if I can work only part time (NO full time for me, doing this job. I'd go insane), I'd be ok with it I think, even though yes, they take half your income. It'd be worth it for me for the relative safety, screening, potentially more stable stream of customers, and a place to actually work that's not a hotel or my own private home. I don't need a LOT of money anyway.
Also, the way I see it, if after a while I accumulated some regular trusted customers, I WOULD then switch to indy and work from my home. I am moving soon and have a proper spare room with space for a massage table and it's the first room in the apartment so the customers would see nothing else. It also has a bathroom connected to it so they can shower, etc. I am just SO not wanting to have any men know where I live (unless as I said, they're trusted regulars) and although it's a high rise complex and I'll be one of 120 apartments, they would still be able to work out which one is me. I can't literally blindfold them until they get inside!! (can I? lol) I would so hate to be sleeping at 3am and have some weirdo buzzing me and my partner.
But sadly, NOT ONE of these massage places ever gets back to me about these jobs. I'm not talking about anything in my responses to their advertisements that they may view as suspicious or LE. They just don't reply. I guess they have too many other girls applying, same as all the other "normal" jobs around here.
I was looking today at small (like tiny) office rentals, but it's just all too expensive around here. The cheapest one was $10 an hour but you had to commit to a minimum of 5 hours a day, and I can't do that. Most were around $200-$300 a week.
Then I looked at tiny rental apartments and that was even worse. Most were $250-$400 a week.
THEN I looked at sharing an apartment, but I don't think that'd work very well. A poor Japanese student seeking a housemate who then doesn't live there and only keeps a massage table set up in her room and leads strange men in there sometimes? Ah...yeah. lol.
THEN I was looking at hotels, and I went on Priceline and put in say, next Tuesday. Cheapest one was a not so nice place for $90. Check in after 2pm, check out 10am. I can only work from 10am until 5pm so that doesn't really give me much time, does it? Paying $90 to only be able to take customers for 3 hours? Hmmm.
I might try to put an advertisement out looking for any girls who might want to rent a small 2 tiny room office nearby to use...but then I worry about flakes. Girls skipping out and disappearing and leaving me with rent I can't pay and a lease I'd have to pay thousands to break.
Around here, the classifieds places are absolutely FLOODED with ads from indy girls offering body rubs for $20. I mean...come on, ladies. Why price yourself so low!? I want $100 for mine but who's gonna come to me when they can get the same for $20, and then there are other girls who offer full service for $50 an hour. COME ON!!!!!!!!!
Ok...vent session over. lol.
