just wanted to update on my new adventure as a business owner...

my second solo month is about to end, and it has been quite interesting how things are picking up in the last two weeks. I was freaking out the first two weeks of my second month, but somehow I am managing and paying my bills (YAY!!! lol PHEW). I started a groupon last week (which I think it's not really bringing many clients - only 1 purchased a groupon and a second one called me before getting the groupon but I honored the price meaning she paid me the full amount instead of going to groupon, teehee). I have listed myself on SpaFinder and so far one person has called from their search site which I think it's great! People at the salon have showed interest in getting facials, and I've been doing some facial sugaring which my few clients are loving now.

I've been doing major social media advertising though, and I have asked my clients to please review my public pages (yelp, google, facebook, etc.). I listed myself on basically all social networks lol (ie. instagram, twitter, facebook, google). Overall, I'm very happy with the response!!! Oh and I purchased a 4 day Ad on Facebook and gave me around 70 local "likers!!!!"

I may do another Facebook Ad next month, but it's great to get your Facebook page a kick! :)

I'm VERY HAPPY to finally have my own thing going. Life is great! <3

OOOOH!!! So Exciting!  Hang in there.  It seems to me like it takes a couple of months or so and then BOOM!!! You're so busy you need a little break!  Things will start to really pick up about the 6 month or so mark. :D

Mine did about 8 months but I'm only part time and that was with NO advertising.

o, wow, im excited, definetly will try it pretty soon. 

I was told today about the website, styleseat.com. 

The girl i'm working with is using it and very happy with it. 

I use styleseat and I love it! They send apt reminders and followup email and texts to clients which helps to eliminate some of my workload :) I also like that you can run specials from your styleseat page

Christyn, my question - is this website popular? I mean how do people find it? 

But i like the idea that there is a recommendation button,  it definetely attract. 

Honestly, I think mostly the people who know about it are people who are already in the business or people who know people who are so while it's not the absolute best for bringing in clients it is great for scheduling and keeping track of revenue and client followup and reminders. You can add the app to your fb page and website (how my clients find it) so that clients are able to schedule themselves too which is one of my favorite features. It also will send you reminder to your phone to let you know when the client is coming in.

Amazing ! Congrats ;)

Sounds like me. I will try the FB ad idea. Good luck
