This article is a DEEEEP-DIVE into how to create a successful profile. There is a lot to consider so take your time and treat the creation of your perfect profile as a long term project.
We are in Partnership
We want you to have a successful profile.
You want you to have a successful profile.
Our Job – We look after SacredEros.com and its SEO to make sure that there is traffic going to the website and to your profile.
Your Job – Create a high quality profile that gets the right clients sending inquiries.
If we both do well it is a win, win, win situation… you, us, the clients.
Your Profile
Detailed below is what we have found to work as a model for a successful profile. One that keeps people reading and lays out information in a digestible way. (Other profile styles can and do work, so do what suits you)
We are going to split your profile into the following sections:
- Images
- Text
Images
Images matter a lot. Take time to create good quality images, a friend, a mobile phone, and a good eye for photography work well; a professional photographer works better.
There are 2 types of images on your profile; the banner images, and main text images.
- Banner Image
Is an image we can use as your main profile photo (we also call it the banner photo), ideally between 1 and 2 MB in size and in landscape format (wide but not tall). Rough dimensions are 1024 by 500 but we can crop an image for you. The quality of this image is more important than it may appear. It is the image that comes up in the Sacred Eros search results, and the first photo you of potential clients will see, so you want to stand out (think, YouTube thumbnail). We understand everyone is different, but what catches our eye in the search results is: eye contact, a friendly inviting face that is distinct from the background, and some sense of uniqueness. Feel free to look down some results and see what stands out to you. - Images
Send more than you think you need. Something showing you clearly, we recommend: direct eye contact with a smile, and a variety of image styles. We will spread these images throughout your text. The more text you have, the more images we can add but don’t go too long with your text.
Our Rules
- Use images that represent your practice. If your: butt, legs, & boobs are not on offer, don’t use them to advertise.
- If your body is available to clients, you may use it but within limits. We want to advertise you as a professional practitioner, not primarily your body parts.
- Hard rule – no selfies (or images that look like selfies), no low quality, or poorly shot images.
- No nipples (all genders).
- No “escorting” style images.
- You must confirm that you have consent to use images of other people.
If you don’t want to show your face in your photos that’s fine with us but instead of blurring the face out we prefer for the photos to be taken from an angle that doesn’t show your face. You can also hide your face with a hat, scarf, hair etc.
Quality is often subjective, we reserve the right to reject images that do not meet our requirements. We are also mindful of FOSTA / SESTA.
Text
As the client reads down your profile you want them to stay interested and engaged. You can do this by tapping into their personal experience and therefore their emotions. In order to create an effective profile you need to know: who you are as a practitioner, what you are offering, and to whom. So, before writing your text we recommend asking yourself these questions (and writing down the answers):
- Who is your ideal client, what kind of people do you enjoy working with the most? (be specific: age, gender, life circumstances, etc)
- What are your clients’ needs and wants?
- What is your clients’ problem, how do they currently try to solve it/live with it?
- Why are you the right person to help them?
- What is the solution you offer?
- What does the transformation and better future for your client look like?
Now you can write it all down and communicate it in your profile.
We require a minimum of 300 words and we recommend a maximum of 600 (it matters for SEO reasons).
Break your text down into these sections:
- Intro
- About
- Sessions/Services
- Contact/Next steps
- Testimonials
It is important to understand the utility of each individual section. Although it might be enriching for you to talk about yourself in your profile, clients are there for themselves. This means that your profile should revolve around them.
Here is how each section can talk to the client
Intro
This is the first thing they are going to read once they are on your profile. Within the first sentence they should understand how their life will improve from your services.
E.g. Bad intro
“Hello Darlings, welcome to my page. I’m happy the mother universe has led you to my page. I am Adhira Dakini Daivik, the artisan muse of the West and I have been healing with floweriness and starlight for the past 2 years.”
E.g. Good intro
“Discover and explore your sexual fantasies. Find out what turns you on. What kinds of touch, talk and scenarios do it for you. Is it being tied up and stroked all over, or stretched out riding the edge of pleasure and pain?”
About
This is where you show the client that you are the person to work with. That you understand their position (possibly/probably) because you have been in their shoes, that you have empathy for them and the skills/experience to help them. Talk about your specialities and why you do this work (still with them in mind).
Side note: Reading a list of qualifications is boring and means nothing to someone who is not educated in all the schools and courses available.
E.g. Good About
“BDSM, kink, and fantasies in particular have fascinated me for the past 20 years. Seeing how I, my partner, and my clients have become: happier, more content and, sexually satisfied beyond what they could previously comprehend has driven me to become: more educated, more versed in communication and more openly curious to see what is out there; to help people discover what turns them on, what takes them to that state of complete arousal and indulgence of sexual satisfaction. It is something I feel grateful to witness and facilitate.”
Sessions and/or Services
This is where you let the clients know what your sessions are on a practical level. Depending on how your practice looks you can do one, the other, or both:
- Sessions
This is where you can talk about your practice as a whole, what are the main positive outcomes and what it is built from (a little of this, a lot of that etc). You can also talk about boundaries. e.g. one way touch, no nudity etc. - Services
Simple and easy to digest format: title and description repeated for each service you offer.
“Cuddle Therapy
Lower levels of depression, anxiety, and stress with platonic touch. Everything from spooning in PJ’s to a soft relaxing foot rub. It is more powerful and positively impactful than our society gives it credit for.”
Contact/Next Steps
Tell them what the next steps are, be specific about how to contact you, what to include with first contact and briefly describe your screening process so people know what to expect.
How people contact you has an impact: You can include the following:
- Phone number
- Website
- Client intake form
- Social media links
There are pros and cons to each of those so consider how you want clients to contact you and clearly encourage them to do it that way.
Phone Number
The easiest and quickest for people to use but you might be getting phone calls at all times of the day from people who might not actually intend to book a session but are looking for entertainment.
Email
Still easy to use but requires a bit more effort from people to write a sentence or two.
Website
You can use Sacred Eros to drive traffic to your personal website with more information about your work and ways to contact you, however it is one more step for the client to make contact.
Client Intake Form
Clients will need to fill out a form that you created. You can tailor the form however you want and generally speaking this produces serious inquiries.
Social Media
Link: facebook, instagram, X and anything else you might have. It is good for SEO and broadening your network.
Screening Process
We want to make the screening process to be the norm in the industry. This is why we ask each practitioner to mention it in their profiles. The objective is to eliminate people who are not a good match for you, hence, you need to be clear about who you want to work with and who is a good match.
You can ask for:
- Photo
- Contact details
- Links to professional websites
- References from other practitioners
- Description of people’s intention for working with you
- Anything else that will help you get to know the client and find out whether you are the right practitioner for them.
Keep in mind that this information or parts of it are sensitive so you need to store it securely and delete when no longer needed.
Problematic Clients
Unfortunately, in this industry, there are some inquiries where the client is dishonest and uses underhand methods to gain something we as practitioners are not offering. It comes with the profession. Hopefully the above can reduce the number of these occurrences, however there is also a list on Sacred Eros of clients who were flagged by our practitioners as wasting time or crossing boundaries. You can also use Mr Number; it is a free app where you can check potential client’s phone numbers and see if anyone worked with them before or raised concerns about them.
On the other hand, you will come across people who do not know much about Sacred Eros’ work and appear: ignorant, confused or not serious. You can use this opportunity to open their horizons. They might turn out to be very good clients.
Testimonials
Boring testimonials do not work. They should paint the picture of how you helped someone improve their life and solved their problems. Testimonials work better when they are about how you helped people rather than about you.
Last words
Creating a good profile is often a trial and error process so don’t be afraid to make changes.
As you grow in your professional practice, your offerings and approach might change, so don’t be afraid to make changes.
You can send us however many emails it takes for you to have the profile that you want and that gets you the cliets you want.
Your work matters to us.
We used to advertise on Sacred Eros offering individual sessions but through Sacred Eros and your help, together we can reach many more people, healing the dysfunction in our society’s sexuality and creating a more wonderful world.
