How do you promote your cuddling services?
Talk to anyone and everyone about what I do, go to networking events, I put a directory listing in the local new age / alternative healing newspaper, I have business cards, I want to get a sticker to put on my car, and I plan on wearing my business t-shirt out and about sometimes.
Business cards I have thought of @ubergigglefritz ! How much progress have you made with all of this? I'm all ears?
I tried talking to people on different types of chats..social media..I was getting nowheres!!
It is very slow feeling. I scheduled a few networking events for next week. Every new client is a huge win since there seem to be so few... =(

I relate hard with this. Nearly all of my ads get a great amount of responses, but of those I have to sort out for an actual genuine message from someone who is aware of and gets this, amongst all the "hi how are you tonight"s and "are you available right now honey"s. And sometimes those messages just never come for a while. When they do, it's like the clouds part.
Word of mouth primarily.
I will say Portland is a pretty liberal city and the saturation that comes and goes in this town brings lots of interesting people who are open to being educated about the benefits platonic cuddling can bring into their lives and seek that experience with someone genuine. So it may not be the case for smaller, remote areas where the density of population and subculture may be minimal.
But the flux comes and goes, so sometimes I hear from maybe 1 person, other days it could be 6....or more. But it takes time to connect genuinely in conversation past the "hi how are you tonights..." that @Catloaf mentions. So sometimes it ends up being that slow feeling, but I appreciate the human spirit and try to move forward and bond with those few gems we get to come across.
Really like your input @ubergigglefritz for ad's in paper and shirt concept. fun!
