Wrestling the kink-friendly massage blog beast.
By sierra on Mar 28, 2007 in blogging, Kink Friendly, Massage
The truth is, I have a mind like a chopped salad. I look at what I have accomplished thus far and I wonder how the fuck I did it with a mind and impulses like mine.
It’s a wonder I even do more than go to parties and stay home meditating.
I just love to sit in front of my fireplace and contemplate all of exsistance.
Unfortunately, I seem to get this bug in my head that says, “hey, sierra, don’t you think it’s time to figure out your business goals?” or other such lovely subjects that then force me to get off my ass and do some bloody work.
I want to be all cool-looking all the time… no mistakes and never a wrong move. All things perfect and beautiful All the Time!
Is this possible? not really. but I can try.. and then kill myself trying. Nope! I just gotta keep moving forward. and moving forward often means going thru some pain and messes.
My experiences in the landmark forum definetly showed me that I have some issues about looking bad.. mainly the fear of doing it. making mistakes. but then my mind goes “hey, Babe Ruth was both the strike-out and home-run king.” he was the shit because he fucked up as many times as he succeeded royally. Now this is what inspires me to keep trying and trying till I come up with a valid point.
I think I may have one finnally. I was getting a massage yesterday from this guy that works down on 3rd and Stuart, (seattle downtown) and his name is… Jason Rumohr. He’s a VERY bad-ass Heller Worker - it’s a type of myofascial release massage that I have not studied myself.
He’s really good.
He was telling me that he knows of ONE massage therapist in spokane, I believe, who has a blog and it gets a good amount of traffic. I have not been able to find it, myself.
So many things occured to me while I was getting my massage… I was thinking about how all my fellow massage therapists are often not keen on blogging or even going online for stuff… that or I’m projecting. but the truth is.. there are sooooo many hours that massage therapists spend just doing one on one sessions of really “into-the-body” interaction… it seems logical to me that the inclination to do something so disembodied as surfing the net… is not the most likely thing we’re gonna wanna do.
So if there are no really heavy bloggers or even that there are not many of them at all.. it would be super easy to get to the top of the charts on certain google categories and searches.
so my point:
I’m a trail-blazer (as usual) and I get to be really visible because now I have the tools and ambition and audacity to actually show up and be visible and have it work in my favor.
I’ll be one of very few bloggers that talk about massage and I’ll be one of the few bloggers who talk about doing business as a kink-friendly practioner… and I think I might be only blogger who’s a kinky massage therapist. so getting reference material is something of a bitch.
It is apparent to me that I will have to step up and be a voice for a few different types of communities. Ones that do not normally have lots of loud voices on line… or so I have found so far… and believe me, I’m not sure if I’m just not seeing a whole slew of online massage therapists and kinksters-in-business.
It’s ok though. I figure I might get people subscribed to my business blog because of the unique information… pluss.. anyone can get a massage.
anyone.

One could say, that it is a matter of finding who you are, before you can blog it.
You’ve got writers block, not bloggers block.
Leaders, by fate, are not chosen. They simply find themselves thrust into being the first in line.
