Types of buff butlers
Once you decide to be a buff butler then next step you can take is to register with a buff butler company.
But this can be a bad decision.
You need to know what other options there are.
A butler in the buff company is only one option, there are more options to take that will get you the best clients and the best parties.
In fact.
You’ll earn more without going down the company route.
One reason most buff butlers don’t get clients (and then give up) is due to a buff butler company.
We did. So started out on our own.
Nothing to do with a hen party disaster but rather the company we signed up to.
Many new butlers don’t expect what happens AFTER signing up to a buff butler company, because they don’t know how the company works - not to mention the business of buff butlers.
But now you will, and you can start today.
A butler in the buff company supplies butlers to parties and events:
1. You register with the company
2. clients contact them when they want to hire one.
They are the middle men.
They select a butler based on who they think the client will like and never letting the client choose.
Many people who run a buff butler company are not buff butlers or have never even done it.
If you want to join a buff butler company you have to register and even then, you are not guaranteed to be accepted as a member of their team.
To be accepted as buff butler onto the “books” of a company you usually have to meet their strict criteria.
Their strict criteria are different for each buff butler company and can be anything from having tattoos, no tattoos, too tall, too small, over a certain age, not tanned enough, not muscular enough, too muscular etc.
There are many reasons why they might knock back your application.
Many buff butlers are still getting rejected from butler companies for stupid reasons like above and in some cases the company doesn’t even give a reason why.
Apart from the reason mentions above the main disadvantages are obviously costs and fees involved.
Because you are working for a company you get no choice in the service costs to hire you as a buff butler – they set the price that clients pay.
When you do get booked for a party, they take their fee – which can be anything and since you accepted on registration there will be nothing you can do about it.
Some buff butlers have been known to take home less than £50 for a night after the company has taken their cut.
To sum up the disadvantages of using a butler in the buff company:
• No choice to pick your clients
• No choice of who you work with – they can put you with other butler
• They write your profile bio and choose your images
• They can drop you without reason
• They can drop you without warning
Theres been stories of some buff butlers who have been dropped from the company without any warning – “surplus to requirements”, “no longer needed”.
Some weren't given a reason.
There are some benefits to working for a buff butler company, with the added protection of when things go wrong, they will have your back.
If things go right, a buff butler company is a good choice for those starting out and need the experience. But this may also go against you if the company is reluctant to put you forward for parties because the fear you could no live up to the client’s expectations.

With a buff butler company, you have limited choice regarding the type of buff butler you can be.
If you work for a company and want to offer anything different than instructed by the company it will result in you being removed and no longer working for them.
That’s why more buff butlers are now ditching the restrictions of company so that can do what they want.
Without this restriction you can offer more, such as:
• Buff butler cleaner
• Buff butler home help
• Topless waiter
And more…
Not only that but you can offer more uniform choices to your clients.
And clients who get to choose your uniform are more likely to hire you because they can pick on that fits the theme of their party / event.
The salary and earnings for buff butler can vary depending on:
• Demand in the local area
• Where you live
• Type of buff butler services you offer
Other factors such as your perceived attractiveness and how big and muscular you are, also play a part in how much you can earn.
But there is one thing that will affect your earnings – the buff butler company that your work for.
With a buff butler company, they can limit your work and only offer you clients in that location.
But having buff butler services and not going with a company you are not limited by a small area such as your own area of town.
The whole country is yours and potential customers from ANYWHERE can book you– if you want to travel that is.
The chance to make more money is unlimited.
Getting hired to work anywhere is something no buff butler company can offer.

3. Charge more – your worth it (why else would they be looking for a buff butler)
Some buff butlers are able to charge more – especially if they are very good looking and have a muscular body.
If clients want a buff butler, then they don’t mind paying extra.
A high costing butler also means that you must be good – since price signal quality.
If you are with it then why not charge more.
No, there are other ways to be a buff butler.
You can go out on your own and offer butler in the buff services – keeping all the profits for yourself.
There isn’t a best buff butler company.
Most buff butler services and companies have requirements that you need to meet (and keep meeting) in order to join.
A buff butler company offers no guarantee that you will get work.
With a buff butler company, when you apply you aren’t automatically accepted and have to wait for your application to be accepted - with a buff butler platform once you place your ad or create a profile you are a buff butler.
With a platform, you can start attracting clients who like the look of you want you at their party because they have direct access to you – this doesn’t happen with a company as they control everything.
