For a long time I was struggling to find hypnosis training partners. This is no longer a problem as I have discovered a relatively untapped source!
If you live in a relatively populated area, meetup.com is a good option. Even if you live in a smaller city or town, it can be a good resource. The reason Meetup is so great is that it automatically emails people whenever a group is created that they might be interested in. Be sure to join and search for hypnosis meetups in your area. No meetings in your area? Create one!
When you create a meeting group, keep in mind to avoid spam. People are looking for hypnosis training partners, not a hypnosis training you are trying to offer them. If you are actively promoting a business, your group will be closed immediately. Trust me, I found this out the hard way. I wasn’t trying to promote a business, I just had a link to my website. A few days after you create the group, Meetup will send an email to everyone in your area who is interested in hypnosis/NLP. Very soon there will be so many people interested in hypnosis that people might request training.
The following method of finding practice partners is practically bulletproof! It uses a relatively unknown Facebook search feature. Instead of just finding everyone in your area, you can find people who are actually interested in hypnosis. How it works is very simple. There is a special Facebook search feature that helps find people by exact location. To top it off, you can find people who have mutual friends. For this to work, there are two things you need to keep in mind:
1) The more hypnotists and NLP people you have on your friends list, the better. It’s basically a numbers game.
This method of finding people works best if you have more Mesmers on your friends list. The reasoning behind this is: the more hypnotists you have on your friends list, the greater the chance that they will meet someone in your area. I know, not the best explanation.
two) You’ll probably get better results if you have someone who doesn’t live next to you doing the search.
Let’s say you live in San Diego, CA. and you want to find training partners in hypnosis. Surely you can try to search for people in San Diego with this method. The only problem is that you will probably end up with a lot of false positives. Considering that you live in San Diego, chances are good that you are friends with a lot of people who live in that area. The search function will end up throwing up a lot of people who live in that area who are not interested in hypnosis. I know this might not be the best explanation, just trust me.
