Yes, you can be a successful male cuddle professional if you are willing to put the effort in. In the long run, you might even be able to make a decent living out of it. Although if the money is your main motivation, this is probably not the place to be - much better if you are here because you care about people.
If you haven't registered as a professional on the site yet, do it now. Done? Good, now read on.
So, firstly, welcome to this world of cuddling, and congratulations on becoming a cuddle professional! You’ve made an amazing choice to bring more love and warmth and peace into the world, and you’re going to have an incredible time doing it. You will make powerful connections with women who are going to like and admire and respect you. You are looking forward to a fulfilling career that will bring happiness to many people ... including you.
This guide is the culmination of a wide range of experience and knowledge from these forums and elsewhere. For clarity it is written for a male professional in the USA who only or predominantly cuddles women, but the truth is that it applies equally anywhere in the world no matter what kind of cuddle professional you are or who you are cuddling. It has also been assumed that the covid pandemic has finished or at least been brought under control sufficiently for cuddling to continue as usual.
Note that this is not a get rich quick scheme. Nobody has ever earned $150,000 or anything like it in their first year as a cuddle professional and you won’t either. In fact, for the first few months you won’t earn much at all, so two things to remember straightaway. Keep the day job until you can afford to give it up; and persistence, persistence, persistence.
To put it another way, this is not going to be easy. The truth is, you probably don’t have what it takes to make it: most men don’t. It takes a pretty special guy to be a cuddle professional at all, and an extra special one to succeed. But that success really requires only three simple things. Unshakeable determination; a commitment to personal growth; and a true belief in the value of good old fashioned, honest, hard work. The more you put in, the more you will get out. Sure it’s a cliché, but it’s true. And you know it.
(If you’re not sure if all this is for you, well that’s ok. We are all different, we all have our own strengths. In this case, the best plan is simply to set up your profile and let it run for six to nine months and see if anything comes of it. If it does, well then you can use that baseline success to build a future. If it doesn’t, well, no harm done.)
Creating the Foundations
Let’s start with the basics. You’d be amazed how many people can’t even get those right. This guide assumes that you have set up a basic profile and have been accepted by the site as a professional. (If you try to sneak under the radar as an ‘unregistered professional’ you will be caught very quickly, the site is very good at this.) If you haven't done this yet, go to the bottom of the Home page and click on the link Become a professional cuddler.
A professional knows his business, that is part of what being a professional means. You’re new to this, so you have a great opportunity to expand your brain by getting up to speed on how to present yourself as a true cuddle professional. This will give you confidence, and give your potential clients confidence in you.
The first step to knowing your business is simple: read the Frequently Asked Questions thread at the top of the General Board. Don’t wait, go and do it now. It’s pretty long, so maybe break it down into two or three sessions.
Finished? Good. Now go read it again.
Finished the second time? Great job! Over the next few weeks, read this thread maybe once or twice a week. It has a huge amount of essential information, far too much to absorb in one or two readings. The real professionals know all of this stuff inside out: they don’t remember it, they know it. It runs through every cuddle interaction they have without them even thinking about it.
The good news is that you can get to this stage in just a couple of weeks by reading the thread frequently. Forwards, backwords, middle outwards - every which way you can. It is the life-blood of your business and therefore your success. If you get this right, in a matter of weeks people will perceive you as an experienced cuddle professional! And how cool would that be?
