Indie means independent. Sorry for not clarifying. There are some girls in this business that get fed up with working in the spas, and they decide to go independent. They either work with some other girls in a condo, or work out of a place of their own. Although you'll have some initial costs to take care of, in due time you will not have to give any of it up to a spa, and you get get to keep the whole amount charged. You also get to set your own rates, and can work out packages and what not. Of course, many start out at the spas, and then end up indie. Good luck to you either way.
One thing I must ask though is how open you are to this industry? massageplanet.netites, can be pretty picky about service and what not. Are you up for it? I mean a MPA that really cares about her clients and is enthusiastic about her job will do far better then someone that is just their for the quick buck. I am not labelling you by either type, but just raising a question to ask yourself. If you are not ready to be seeing the whole spectrum of men, then I suggest you hold off until you are ready.
