For a long time I was struggling to find hypnosis training partners. This is no longer a problem as I have discovered a relatively wasted 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 the meeting is so good is that it automatically sends people an email 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 creating a hunt group, keep in mind that spam should be avoided. People are looking for hypnosis training partners, not a hypnosis training that 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’ve created 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 may request training.
The next method of finding practice partners is practically bulletproof! It uses a relatively unknown Facebook search function. Instead of just finding everyone in your area, you can find people who are genuinely interested in hypnosis. Its operation is very simple. There is a special search function on Facebook that helps to find people by exact location. To top it all, 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 friend list, the better. It is basically a numbers game.
This people search method works best if you have more hypnotists on your friends list. The reasoning behind this is: the more hypnotists you have on your friends list, the more likely they are to meet someone in your area. I know, it is not the best explanation.
2) You will probably get better results if you search for someone who does not live next to you.
Let’s say you live in San Diego, CA. and you want to find hypnosis training partners. You can surely try searching with this method for people in San Diego. The only problem is that you will probably end up with a lot of false positives. Considering that you live in San Diego, it is very likely that you are friends with many people who live in that area. The search function will end up returning many people who live in that area who are not interested in hypnosis. I know this might not be the best explanation, just trust me.
