Freelancing/ Part time

A number of massage therapists are looking for ways to increase their hours and income, but already have either another position or significant family obligations.

Part time and freelance positions are ways to increase your experience and client base while still generating a steady income or meeting other responsibilities.

Some important features to consider include:

• Total time required: If you have limited amounts of time available, focus on opportunities that fill up the time you have available with work. Investing significant amounts of time on marketing and promotion can significantly reduce your effective income.
• Hours you have available: Overlap of the hours you have available to work with the available position are important. Are you looking to help out during peak hours? Available to handle clients after hours?
• Notice required: Are you available to work on an as-needed basis? If so, you could command a higher rate for an on-call position. This means that you are available to fill in on short notice, and may be especially valuable if you can respond for next-day needs or even clients looking for a massage within the next few hours.
