Doug, I looked them up and I would advise some caution. Not only do they charge a fee per lead (with no guarantee the lead is a good or valid one) they are also apparently entitled to an 8% commission on your fees if you end up doing business…

Anynoe useing Thumbtack.com to generate any business?

I just got my first lead from Thumbtack.com. All I did was sign up for free, add my profile information and then update items until I was sitting at 100%. I did not know until today there is a $1.99 charge to reply to a request for information, but $1.99 is a small price when charging by the hour for a session with a client.I'm not advertising for Thumbtack.com, just wondered if anyone else has used it or is familia with it.

How to build a private practice!

You can have a full time, successful and financially beneficial private practice. I spent 34 years in private practice, in three states and two countries. I would love to share my knowledge and expertise with others. Zoilita Grant MS. CCHt.

Ever since I started learning hypnosis with the idea of becoming a Consulting Hypnotist, one if my biggest supporters was also my biggest skeptic…my wife. She backs my play. In fact, she is the one that set up and bought most of my home office décor. Like I said, she backs my play…all the way.

However, she has been a skeptic of hypnosis from a long time ago. She “doesn’t believe in that stuff” at all. I know she thought I was crazy to want to spend money on learning something that she was… Continue

It was great, I had 12 days of NLP during the day, and HMI case conferences, classes, and hypno practice at night. Meeting all of the staff I had been watching for so long was terrific as well. It was a real confidence boost to see how I stood with my peers from my distance work. That was probably the best part of all. Mark
