If you log on several times a day, I think it keeps your photo & profile more visible on the front of the home page. Best of luck!

Great 😊 advice !
Hi all,
Where can we advertise as Pro’s
Hi @KaraBear1980 I’ve messaged @CharlieBear with your question and hopefully he will get back to you. I was told a while ago that it’s in a Pro Request section of the forum but I don’t see that, possibly because I use my phone for this site. Anyway hopefully he or another Mod can help…. Best of luck! 🤗😊 @cheeseboy @stormydaycuddle @CharlieBear
@KaraBear1980 Under Cuddle Requests (which is the forum for enthusiasts' cuddle requests) there's a subforum called Pro Requests where pro cuddlers can place ads. You won't see it unless you click on Cuddle Requests first. It's at the very top of the page.
Thank you both very much for the answers and help. Happy cuddling and holidays🎄
Thanks @BlueIris I had never seen that section, though I’ve been here for a few years so thanks for clarifying!
What are some best practices to market yourself to get bookings in your own city. I noticed that I’m booked more when I travel VS when I’m home.
For reasons that are not well understood, at least not by me, many clients value novelty. It's very common to meet a professional only once no matter how successful the experience. In many areas there aren't actually that many serious professionals, and thus little opportunity for novelty. A visiting cuddler therefore makes an attractive booking.
There is a sticky at the top of this board which may help.
Thank you. I completely agree.
I do almost none of these things and have to turn down more inquiries than I accept.
A lot of clients gossip. That is your biggest advertisement right there. Be humane, be respectful, have empathy, smell good, enjoy what you do, be honest and straight forward and have boundaries and word will spread.
So usefull thank you to everyone
Thanks for the advice. 😊
I thought it was odd my profile gets views all day most days but very rarely does anyone plan to book. It also doesnt help, posting an ad gets you banned. 🤯
@OG_Otaku you can post ads on the Pro Requests board, which is a sub of Cuddle Requests. The problem (from your point of view) is that the board doesn't get nearly as much traffic as the General board.
In any case, advertising on CC isn't going to produce many clients because this website, like most others, has a global reach. In other words 99.9% of the people who see your advert are too far away to book you anyway.
If you're getting views but not bookings it sounds like your profile photo is great but your profile text might benefit from revision.
As @CuddleDuncan mentions, novelty is important to many......I have found that pros who travel to a new area for a limited time, get booked up quickly. It's why many pros tour; and when they do return home, if it's for a limited time, they will also get booked more.
And finally, there are some areas that have quite a well-developed community of cuddlers.....as opposed to other areas, where therapeutic cuddling is less known.
How do I get started and get clients?
Read the stickies at the top of the board, starting with New Professionals! Here Is Everything You Need To Know.
LOL . Ive bee here a while and didnt know there was a place to 'make a post' I did look where you all advised but I don't see it 😔👀. lol someone hold my hand plz?
@Suzie_Q I am in the same boat. I’m working on trying to trim mine down but it’s clear some folks don’t read. Just yesterday someone asked me if I “sell content.” I almost couldn’t believe it 😭😭
@mimiloveshugs2 please Report the person who asked that. There is a significant group of people who will not read profiles under any circumstances, even though they can read perfectly well. This is nothing to do with cuddling and applies in any context.
@shecuddless click on Cuddle Requests and then Pro Requests. Look carefully, it's there somewhere.
@CuddleDuncan thank you. I reported and blocked him for it. It was just shocking to me that someone had the gall to do that on the site, knowing he might get banned.
Thanks for the tip
"Would you book you?"
Oh yeah. I'd book me. I'd book me so hard. 🫦
🤣🤣🤣
@sweettexanna80 ... as an enthusiast not charging a fee ... you are probably going to be flooded with cuddle requests.
I dont get many inquiries, maybe my profile isn't interesting enough. 🤷♀️ Those i do get have been looking for things I'm not offering. 🙄😤😡
