BEAUTY TREATMENTS COMING AT YA

In today's edition, we're talking about how you can make $100 an hour by providing home-based beauty and wellness treatments.

The at-home economy is ever-growing. Anything that we want nowadays can pretty much be delivered right to our front porches.

You have Instacart for groceries, Amazon for Christmas presents, and Doordash or Ubereats for breakfast, lunch, or dinner... I think you catch my drift.

In-home massages are no different. Create a business that brings deep-tissue massages or beautifully decorated nails for the holidays to people front porches.

When's the best time to start this business? Right now! The demand for these services hit an all-time high this year.

It's clear, people don't want to leave their homes anymore, and that's fine! More opportunities for you.

Plus, let's be real. Who doesn't love a spa day?

(my team thinks they're real funny with these pics 😂😂)

HERE ARE THE STEPS TO STARTING YOUR OWN HOME-BASED BEAUTY AND WELLNESS BUSINESS:

1. Train yourself

If you're not experienced in the beauty and wellness field but it's something you have a passion for, teach yourself!

Start small. Kick off your business by providing one service, maybe massages. As you get more clients and more comfortable, move into facials and then manicures - you decide.

Nowadays, basically anything can be learned through YouTube so if you're looking for how to professionally give someone a deep-tissue massage, this is a good place to start.

Just don't do any back alignments. That's for trained and licensed chiropractors. You don't want your clients like this when they try to get off the couch:

You want them leaving like Mary Poppins:

2. Gather equipment and supplies

Next, you'll need to gather the essentials to provide your services. This might include massage tables, hot stones, face masks, facial steamers, or nail polish.

Don't cheap out on these products. Invest in high-quality, professional-grade equipment to provide the best experience for your clients.

3. Outline your packages

Create a set of packages for your customers to choose from and set them up to maximize your revenue.

When we look at Ultimate Massage Spa's packages for deep tissue massages, they are set up accordingly:

This offering of discounts or promotions encourages repeat business and word-of-mouth referrals.

4. Obtain necessary licenses and permits

Message therapists are required to get a license in the state where they practice... for the most part.

The states where you don't need a license are:

• Minnesota

• Kansas

• Wyoming

• Vermont

• California (depends on the city)

• Indiana (as long as you don't call yourself a "massage therapist" - leave it to Indiana to have the weirdest law)

In all other states, you need to pass what's known as the MBLEx (the Massage & Bodywork Licensing Exam) to operate a legal massage business.

I won't sugar coat it, this exam will take time to complete (most say it takes 1-3 months to study for) but once you pass it, you don't have to worry about any fines or legal issues, and you can solely focus on building your business 💪

5. Fire up your social media accounts

You can't have a business if no one knows you're out there and since you won't be in a brick-and-mortar building, it's time to market your business properly.

Start by reaching out to potential clients to let them know about your services. Create a website and be active on your socials to showcase your work and attract clients.

You can also network with other professionals in the beauty and wellness industry to find referrals and build your client base.

5. Be the Apple of customer service

Finally, provide high-quality services and build a reputation for excellent customer service to keep your clients coming back and attract new ones.

Building your own home-based beauty and wellness business and providing convenient and personalized treatments to your clients can make a lot of money and be extremely rewarding.

The quick math breakdownAlright, ready for some public math? Here we go.

Let's say after some time you're able to schedule 10 sessions per weekend with each one averaging $80. That's $800 per weekend, or 3.2k/mo.

You'll probably be able to take home around 50-60% of that considering you're mobile and don't have to pay a huge rent bill every month. Now you're at 1.9k/mo - almost a whole average salary ($52,000)!

PRO TIP FROM YA BOY 👀

• Start this as a side hustle on the weekends - that's when most of your clients will be available anyways with work. As it becomes larger and you're no longer able to meet the demand, hire a professional massage therapist and scale!

TECHY TECH 🤖

I'm frequently on Twitter and when I see cool things I want to share them with you guys. So from now on, this section will be called "Techy Tech" - I know, super original.

Today I have two mind-blowing tech features to share.

First up, is a new VR headset software that's basically like living in the movie, Iron Man.

Check out this video - the holograms pop up in the headset just like in the movie 🤯

Next up is Tesla's full self-driving system. It's looking like we're never going to have to drive pretty soon - it's a lot closer than people seem to think.

This Tesla successfully drove 4 miles on the crowded streets of San Fransisco while stopping at lights, stop signs, and maneuvering around parked trucks blocking the street all while no intervention by the driver.

Pretty awesome - check it out.

If you found these interesting and want me to include more cool AI or tech finds let me know!
