Webiste ideas

There are so many ideas that I have for making websites that are on
topics related to massage that you can incorporate into your massage
business site or do a completely separate site that can be a good way
to make additional income.

- A continuing education calendar for your area. You can contact all
of the schools and start contacting some of the teachers in your area
who are offering continuing education and start a service that provides
a listing of the classes. You can either put the listing on your
website and have it appear there regularly or you can just collect the
ads (with people paying for them of course) and put the information
out once a month or whatever in a newsletter. SBI already has a
newsletter function, but you can start it with a Yahoo! Group. I have
a Yahoo! group for WA state that doesn’t have many members yet or much
activity, but I have is so I can implement that idea. I also think it
is good to have local communities of massage therapists for support.

- A job opening/ office space for rent listing. Start contacting
schools and let them know you will be starting a list. I was shocked
to here from a therapist in TX who said the schools did not have a job
bank for their graduates. Most of the schools here in WA have job
banks/office space for rent listings but it is available only to their
graduates. Someone on here mentioned creating a job agency for
massage therapists which would be what this really does. You could
charge a small fee for listings or charge a small fee for a membership
for the massage therapists.

- A site that talks about a certain type of massage that you do. I
have heard from a few of you that you have developed your own
technique and have ideas for teaching it or writing a book about it.
A website is a great place to put all of this information and then put
Google ads or other ad systems on your site or you could also write an
ebook and start selling it (all automated through your website.)

- Do you know a lot about massage tables or massage tools/supplies.
What we really need is a great site that reviews all of the products
and compares them and has a place for readers to rate them. You could
do this in a membership type of site or just make money through
affiliate programs and recommending products. Or just write reviews
and use Google Ads again.

- What about the success you have had in a specific area such as
working with fibromyalgia or some other condition? What about a
special or specific population? Do you know a lot about hydrotherapy
or other modality? While there probably are a lot of sites out there
that talk about these things – most of them are junk and don’t really
give any real information.

I have so many ideas for websites – if you want any more or have an
idea that you keep playing with in your head and want to discuss or
expand on – just start talking about it here or submit my short
questionairre..

One of the common reasons for people not wanting a website is not
having the time or the money to put into it. The time doesn’t really
matter – it is a process. You do what you can when you can. When you
see how you can make money while you are at work or on vacation through
your website, I think you will start making more time to put into it.
Right now the bulk of my income comes through Google adsense (if you
don’t know how this works see -

http://www.workless-playmore.com/google-adsense-program.html)

Basically you put Google ads on your site and when people click on
them you get paid. I know it sounds too unbelievable but I was at the
bank the other day asking a question about my account and the teller
even asked me what that deposit from Google was about.

So whatever your fears about starting something, it is always good to
take a look at where they are coming from as most of the time, we are
just getting in our own way.

I know building websites isn’t for everyone.
So right now I am offering to build a 10 page website for you to start
with for $300 (and the website itself will cost $299 for a year of
hosting) and then you can decide if you want to start adding pages and
follow the complete Sitebuildit! Action Guide yourself. I can then
maintain it for you for $50 per month.

This is the last you will be seeing offering my services so cheaply as
I am becoming a Certified Sitebuildit! Webmaster and I am also going
to start teaching at a local school here. When that happens my rates
will be going up to $1500 for a website and I won’t be able to take
people who are not serious about creating something for themselves
online. As a part of that fee, I will be coaching you and helping you
to learn to talk about what it is that you do and how to connect with
potential clients starting with your website – but the whole
Sitebuildit! system and process are really the basis for building a
successful massage business or any business and I am using it as part
of my coaching program.
Actually you can just start with this ebook from Sitebuildit!
The Service Seller’s masters course -

And to top it off Sitebuildit! has extended their sale until May 8th at
midnight.

So are you sick of hearing about this already? or have I got you
really interested? or did you just delete this?
