If you are so lacking in communication skills about what you are up to and not explaining it clearly, how can anyone know if they would be interested? It sounds like you are putting yourself out there as a trainer. That's a pretty iffy type situation to me. Training is personal in my opinion and those that tend to present as a trainer tend to have a one way is the right way attitude and they know it. If you are a trainer, what qualifies you as such other than being trained by some unknown to us, dominant of a household? Due to the lack of information or clarity, I would question your ability to clearly teach whatever it is you are teaching. You are going to have to do far better if you want to interest the masses.

I agree with Lockit. Since you don't even say what your "program" is about, there's no incentive for anyone to participate. IF - and that's a huge if - I were looking for some type of "training" program, I have at least five groups in my area that do excellent demos. And I live in the Bible Belt. Why would I want to attend yours?

Let's assume for a moment that you are offering something I can't get from my local kink community or learn on my own (yeah, right). What sets you apart from a well-known and respected program like Butchmann's Academy? Why should I choose you over them? What qualifications do you have? Your master training you to train others sounds rather shady. Why should I trust you? For that matter, why should I trust him? What qualifications does he have? Where has he presented? Where have you presented?

My suggestion is that you go back to the drawing board and rethink this whole idea. Then go do some research on both your competition and your target market. It sounds like you're putting the proverbial cart before the horse.

Hi all,

Many of you do not know me, but I am wanting to put a program together for both Doms and subs. I am very much a lifer as it would be, and have the resource to put together a program both online and in real time. The real time would be in columbus , ohio. The real time would be a two day event, motel expenses included. We are currently looking at May, may be moved up to june. Those interested, please contact me personally at [Mod Edit: Removed Contact Information]. For the online basis, we are hoping to get it up and running two weeks from now!!

Those that are curious, I was once a sub, my Master took me under his arm and trained me to train others. I have felt it all and given it. well almost all!

He may be availablie for comment, but to few.

Let me know everyone,

Laura

1. You posted a contact email/phone number and broke TOS.
2. You posted a vague announcement about some kind of program. We know it's two days and that it comes in online and RL flavors, and that's it.
3. You gave three sentence fragments for your own qualifications, basically that you'd "done everything".
4. You never came back to check feedback, to see that your contact info was removed.

To be very blunt, I'd have concerns about your ability to make such a program successful.
