Home Service Massage: A Highly Profitable Home Business
Let’s face it. America’s health consciousness has catapulted during the last five years. Foods low in fat, sugar, and carbohydrates, have topped the must-buy charts. Gyms and fitness clubs have sprung up. More and more Americans at the rate of 10% per year are booking spas and massage parlors. With such a growth, offering a massage “delivered to your door” is not such a bad idea. In fact, it can be a very profitable idea.
For starters, you need not spend on expensive “spa” set-up and equipment because the massage will be done at your client’s home. Most of your staff will be direct labor; meaning most of them will be a massage therapist. You will need only one overhead staff, a telephone operator that can double as a therapist scheduler. You may also choose to do this yourself, to ensure proper handling of customer calls.
Spend a little on fluffy towel, good and fragrant oils and training for your therapists and you’re on your way to start the business.
You may charge an average of $30- $40 per hour. Out of that, $3 will go to supplies, while $10 will go to the therapist. The rest is profit for your home business. Here are two types of massages that you can offer that your clients should love.
Acupressure
A massage based on a traditional Chinese method of cure, acupressure is the massage version of acupuncture. Acupressure massages the body in a way to redirect the flow of energies, releasing blocked energy centers or “chi,” and thereby achieving balance between yin and yang. To perform acupressure, finger pressure is used on points on the body to stimulate them. This type of massage is ideal for tension and stress pain, constipation, menstrual cramps, bloating and any need for stimulation and rejuvenation. Charge $30 – $35 per hour.
Reflexology
When you see a massage parlor that has a map of the feet displayed outside, chances are, their specialty is reflexology. This type of massage is administered on the feet as it is based on the different reflex points on the feet, which affect major organs of the body. Light to medium pressure is used in reflexology and that in it relaxes the subject. This is ideal for tension pain and tiredness and helps your clients’ over-all well being, when done regularly. Before starting the reflexology, throw in a shoulder or head massage while soaking the feet in warm water for more relaxing session. Without the soak, charge $40/hour and throw in another $5 for the foot soak.
With minimal set-up and profits as high as 50% shouldn’t you be opening up your dial-a-spa soon?

HI friend first of all be careful in choosing the “work from home job”, Because I have gone through various money making programs and lost many of my savings in past four years and finally came across some good money making programs that pays you monthly and I, am going to share my personal experience and experiments which I have gone through, so those who want to earn money using their computer and internet connection please go through the site which I have given in the source, for not getting into scams and false programs.
I work in the industry and to have home care is a great opportunity to help out with the normal activities of daily living. Just be sure to ask for a criminal record check on who your hiring for your parents..sometimes it's good to hire someone who is a health care worker with some experience in the field, at least that way you know your parents are getting the best care by someone who is knowlegable in dealing with seniors, as well as they have more experience in seeing things that most people don't that are red flags in the elderly….good luck!
aww
Bob,
My hat is off to you. Astounding video and an even better cause!
Oh yeah! I have a friend who is an I.R for all telecommunications services. I'm sure she can hook you up with some really good deals in NJ. Her web site is http://www.tiffanyvague.acnrep.com or you can email her direct to kaiden4@aol.com Just let her know what you are looking for, she may ask a couple of questions then she can find something best for you. That's what she did for me!
You might like to get a spell checker. That will make you look more professional when you write your adds.
Not sure about the Medicare/Medicaid stuff, but there are other considerations to ponder. Like getting bonded. And the cost of purchasing and maintaining a vehicle equipped to handle the elderly, some of whom will be in wheelchairs, or with crutches or a walker. Then being licensed to drive said vehicle (depending upon what state you're operating out of). And insurance. And staff, and their benefits.
I get mine through the cable company for about $20 a month. Local calls are free and long distance is .05 a minute.
Begin with your local health department. They can refer you to reputable agencies that can help you.
Good Luck!
why don`t U ask a cleaning company/agency direct they can come and give U a quote.
PEACEB4U2 !!!
I would rather write a check. This way, I will have a good prove backed by the bank that I did make a payment for the services.
I would find it highly suspicious if a payment needs to be made in cash. Usually, contractors who cheat on the income taxes do that. I would rather not give my credit card number. The reason for that, I am not sure at all how privately the contractor will store this information, and if it will be easily accessible by others.
Personal check would be the best way for me to pay.
