Business Ideas

1.  Mobile/Traveling Massage Therapist

What do you guys think of traveling massage therapists?

I think I would gladly pay someone to come to my house to give me a massage but I worry about the safety/security side of it.

Here's an idea for someone looking to start a business: Start a traveling massage therapy company; charge a reasonable travel rate and massage rate. 

You'll definitely get a repeat customer in me if you:
- Are a Hmong woman and
- You charge $.55 per mile for travel fee (or whatever the federal mileage travel rate is) and
- You charge $1 per minute for massage

PLEASE, SOMEONE START THIS BUSINESS--make sure there is a female and a male massage therapist in your company!  Your female clients will likely want a female massage therapist for safety reasons.  Thank you!

I have a friend who does massages.

Would you like her to massage you? I'll chaperone to make sure you are safe.

$65.00 per hour, plus mileage.

Has anyone used home cleaning services before?  Pros and cons?

That's not a bad rate at all.  Pretty reasonable.  How long has she been a massage therapist?  How much does she charge for mileage?

10 years.

$1.00 per mile or so. But she's only about 6 miles from your place.

Cool!  Could you share the app name or business name when you remember what it is?  Thanks!

That's a lot per mile!  But if she is only 6 miles away, that's nice.  But, how do you know where I live?  Hmm....

theres a couple out there but  Soothe App is one of them

There is the rate but I'm afraid that my terms may not qualify. 

Like I want her to massage me on my front side while I'm butt naked.  I'll pay her handsomely just to see me raise my flag.

Wild guess.

If we do take this business on, I'll have to ask you for your address in that southern part of town.
