What's the best way for me to get noticed/find customers?
First thing I notice is you are a male pro with no karma and questionable level of experience, yet you are asking for the market average pay rate (would you expect that in any other job?). Your profile also doesn't come across very professional. That's fine if you're just trying to make some extra money, but your rate should reflect that. I started out at $45/hr. I started inching up as I got more experience. At this point, I am $75-100/hr after about 125 cuddle hours provided, nearly 30 unique clients served, and both cuddlist and cuddle sanctuary trained. Everyone can do as they please, charge what they want, and market how they want, but it will be reflected in level of response and inquiry, and well, you asked ?
I agree with @ubergigglefritz. Well said. Keep trying Joel, the industry needs male cuddlers! No matter what the Downer Danny's on here say about it.
I checked your profile, too, and my recommendation is to sell yourself. A big part of our job as professional cuddlers is to help people feel comfortable and relaxed, and hten to cuddle away their stress. We take on the planning, preparation, cuddle knowledge, and social concerns so they can come in and relax. Showcase this ability in what you write in your profile - sell confidence, trust worthiness, maturity, comfort with cuddling, experience with cuddling, and a bit of your unique personality that will make people think "You know, a cuddle with this guy would be amazing".
That's the goal, and your pictures show an open and inviting person so you should be able to succeed here.
Also, post in the forums if you feel comfortable doing so so your profile gets out there.
I have one question: what's pewdiepie? Is this something I missed an inside joke on or am I too old to know
Keep it up and best wishes!

Please tell me this is a joke? Albeit not a good one. Subscribe? Discount for people who “like” and “friend” and write good reviews? I’m not going to condone this. I feel like it’s creating a mockery of something that I have personally seen make a huge improvement in lives. I can’t be alone here.
