Making Craigslist Work For You...

[pegasus]

Gosh, I am loving all of this great marketing info and feedback. I'm learning a lot! After reading some of the great stuff here, I got very brave and posted my own ad at CraigsList. Here goes:

Do something good for yourself, call for your appointment today: (910) 330-3351.

I know you're going to tear this apart for me, but I have a couple of questions. First of all, why not post your rates? Does this not weed out the cheapskates and put your services on a clear level, so they know what to expect and don't get totally FLOORED when they find out I charge $40 an hour?

Also, why not tell them clearly that this is (or in my case includes) about YOGA? Why be so sneaky about what you do?

*A deep thanks to Harlan and Sarah for their desire to help the rest of us. We really do need to learn this stuff and bring yoga and other related services out of the poor house! I'm learning so much and am not only very excited, but also getting a lot of motivation and encouragement here!!!

Sorry, I meant to remove the word "massage" from my header. I no longer use that word, because in my area is often means "prostitution."

Thanks!

Oh, I think I'm going to make a video in response to this.

Get ready.

I better do some pranayama first...or sparks will fly.
