@ladybug7, if you are comfortable with your friends and family knowing that you do this work, advertising beyond this site is a great idea. I have been advertising on social media for the past three years, allowing me to stay in business full time for nearly 6 years and counting. If I entirely relied on Cuddle Comfort, I would not be in business full-time anymore. These days it is just a slice of the pie regarding where I find clients. Feel free to pm me if you want some ideas and tips.
@ladybug7 It's an excellent idea and I wish more professionals would do it. It is likely that a non-trivial investment of time and/or money will be required to see much of a return, but anything and everything is potentially helpful. There is a great deal of free and very cheap advice on the internet about marketing for small businesses, in the first instance the main problem is simply being overwhelmed. Stay away from expensive advice until you understand more about what you are doing and want to do.
I know I'm a little late to the party but congratulations on your first session and first Karma!
thankyou so much, i tried asking chat gpt of all things but honestly this was great, thankyou!
I am male pro who joined over the summer. I have one regular (who's great!) but besides him, there have only been random requests that aren't followed through with. Is there a way to advertise a special offer or something like that somewhere on here? If I advertise that on my page, I still am faced with the fact that I'm not getting many visitors viewing my profile. Any and all suggestions are encouraged and appreciated.

Guys have it rough as a pro.
Things that can sometimes get you more views:
▪︎Being online often can pop your profile up on searches. ▪︎ Be active on forum posts ▪︎ Change up your profile picture occasionally ▪︎ Add text for a promotional on your profile pic ▪︎ Click through people in your surrounding area ▪︎Make a post in the request section and make occasional comments like quotes, updates, memes, etc on it to bump it up.
Advertise outside of CC.
Read the sticky topics at the top of this board thoroughly. Especially the one entitled "12 top tips to get more enquiries". 🙄
You will never get a significant flow of clients from this website alone: even seasoned professional women struggle with that. You will have to create multiple marketing channels elsewhere. There is much free advice on marketing on the internet.

Hello everyone! I am new to this platform. Never have I done anything like this before. But I will say that I have been complimented on how cozy and comfortable I can be with talking, cuddles, and just being easy to be around.
I've been on for a few days now, and I have not been noticed. I have 2 pictures of myself to go along with my profile (that needs work).
So what do I do? Is the app/website designed for people that need cuddles can see the cuddlers?
Just wanted to know how to go about this and make an impact on a potential cuddle.
Any other tips would be welcomed. Thank you have a great weekend everyone!
Dig through the forums and the FAQs. There’s a lot there. Here’s a couple to get you started.

@lovingspoonfull thank you so much for your time and help.
I will definitely use these as my guides!
I would suggest adding some friendlier photos 😊
Not trying to be a downer, but it's not necessarily about getting noticed. There is just not a market for men who want to charge women to cuddle with them. Period. People will chime in, as they usually do with this topic, that there is and give their reasons why they would be willing to hire a male cuddler etc. but these are all typically hypotheticals and under the most narrowly specific of circumstances, so it's unreliable and in no way a generalized norm.
Sorry, just being honest. It's not because I want you to feel discouraged.
Hello!
I’ve been a past professional cuddler for a while now and took a break (muted profile). I was wondering now that I’m back, is there any way to boost my profile?
Commenting in the forums helps. Log into the site often so it keeps you at the top of the search bar for your area. Always send a greeting to those that look at your profile. 👍🏻🌸👍🏻
I mean, I just peeked at you due to this post so that's a start
I'm new here, commented on a few discussions but I've yet to have a booking. I don't know if it's my location or something on my profile?? I'm so bad at those things. 😆
@CapybaraCuddles Welcome to the site! 😊 Your profile is lovely.
Unfortunately, it is your gender that is the reason for the lack of bookings. Most of the demand in this industry is by male clients for female Pro's.
Also, group cuddle pricing I've seen is typically $25-$30 per person.
I'm sorry you've lost some bucks to the site already. It's a wonderful place to cuddle and find connections, but making it as a male Pro is extremely rare, due to the lack of demand. 🫂

Welcome to the cuddle community! You're profile is great! I wish you the best of luck! 🤗
@CapybaraCuddles Yes, as SunsetSnuggles said, it's likely not anything to do with you. There is simply no call for male pros. Women have guys lined up on here to cuddle them for free, they don't need to pay for it.
Moved to Professional Cuddling as OP is currently a Pro.
Read the sticky topics at the top of the Professional Cuddling board.
@SunsetSnuggles thank you for the compliment ❤️ , I thought it may have something to do with that. Fortunately I am an equal opportunity cuddler. 🙂 I figured i would give it a try and I'll adjust my group rates. Thanks to everyone else who has answered. Much love and good luck!
I wish there was a way my profile could stick out more or I could sponsor it. Any advice?
There is a stickied thread on this forum about 12 tips to get more Inquiries. That may help you.
Your profile looks good so I'd also suggest the thread with 12 tips for more inquiries.
I recently put this as my FB dating profile pic. Profile text is a blurb about me not being interested in dating, just spreading the word about Professional Cuddling, and lists some websites (bummer that links don't work on that platform). I am still getting "Hey," and "How r u?" conversation starters, but a few have gone online and I have a booking from one of the new users! *The image attribution is embedded, all are welcome to use this graphic with the text I added
@DeerLady I love that. It's so cute!
I look at distance than age. Simple content after that If it's too heavy, chances are it'll seem more like a cold machine I usually bring a gift/snack/plant small but meaningful/rememberful
I wanna be able to get started right away but how can I get myself out there so that I can get people to actually book with me?
