Fitzroy – SideBlooms

What A Sidebloom Is

Georgie, A Lawyer All WeekTeaches Tennis On A Saturday Contracts, deadlines, other people’s trouble.She is paid for it. The sunshine of her week.
A Librarian By DayTeaches Tango On A Thursday Quiet, ordered, everything in its place.She is paid for it. A room that is none of those.
A Teacher Since She Was TwentyA Flower Stall On A Saturday Thirty years of other people’s children.She is paid for it. Her own stall, sold out by ten.

Imagine the Tuesday evening you spend on the work you love — and the money for it sitting in your own account by Wednesday.

You Already Have Something You’re Passionate About

The cake you were making anyway. The photographs everybody asks you for. Or the tennis you would love to teach on a Saturday, and have never once done. Loving it is enough to begin with.

Now Let’s Make It Work For You

Your rate. Your hours. Your own account, and nobody else deciding what it is worth.

Passion Is Why You Begin.
Joy Is Why You Keep Going.

Why Any Of This Matters

It’s about You and your future.

Promote

Promote Your Sidebloom.

The hard part was never the work. It was being found — setting something up on your own and then standing in an empty room shouting about it.

Here you are in the directory from your first morning, and the women beside you are sending people to you. A shopfront of your own, in a place every woman in Australia can turn to when she is looking for exactly what you do.

Your Listing, In Your WordsWritten by you, with your own photographs, and edited whenever you like.
Your Hours, Your Suburb, Your RateShown the way you set them, so the enquiries that reach you already suit you.
Reviews That Belong To YouEarned over time by the work, and yours to carry wherever you go next.

The part that costs you nought and changes the most.

The Lending TableA mannequin standing in a hallway never once used, a spare chair on a quiet Tuesday, a kiln fired twice a year. Whatever a woman has sitting idle, listed for the woman who needs it.
The Cover NetworkYour shift runs over and a client is waiting. Hand the booking sideways to a woman who does what you do, on terms you agreed long before you needed them.
Collaboration ClustersA wedding needs five of you — hair, flowers, cake, photographs, the car. Assemble for the day, do it beautifully, and go home as five businesses.

The Whole Of It

What you keep changes what is possible in your own life. What all of you keep changes what is possible for everybody.

You ChooseEconomic power is the difference between a life you are living and one you are getting through.
You Widen ItA chair lent on a quiet Tuesday, a booking handed sideways, a wedding done by five of you who went home as five businesses.
They WatchA daughter who grows up seeing her mother paid for work she loves never has to be told it is possible.

This is what Lamoureux Lane is for — the Path to Love, and the potential of humanity fully realised. One woman, at her own rate.

The Way In

Three Ways To Start. Pick The One That Is You.

One door is straight in. Two come with a first month beside you. From month two, everybody pays the same.

One I know what I want to do You know your work. You know your rate. Come straight in. Your shopfront is up this afternoon. $29a month, from day one

Two I know what I want to do, and I want help opening it You know the work. You want it set up properly, with somebody beside you. The Opening. Four weeks beside you. Open, priced, and booked. $79first month · then $29

Three I want one, and I do not know what mine is yet There is something in you. It never had a name. The Finding. Four weeks to name it, ending in one paid job. $109first month · then $29

Every door opens onto the same world — and it is the world you are paying for.

Your Shopfront, Made In The AtelierYour work, your words, your hours and your rate, on a wall women are already searching. Found by name.
Your StudioWhat you are building, what you have taken, what a year of it holds. The life underneath the work, written down by you.
Side By SideThe women who have already answered the unglamorous questions — the ABN, the insurance, the awkward client — answering yours.

Or $290 for the year, two months on us.

You Keep Every CentSideBlooms takes no commission on your work. Charge $400 for a wedding and $400 is yours, less only what the bank charges to move it.
Your Invoicing, If You Want ItWe can raise and chase your invoices for you, or stay out of it entirely. Yours to choose, and it changes nothing about your rate.
It Stays Joyful, Or It StopsA sidebloom is chosen, kept at the size you want it, and paused whenever life asks for the room. Tanoshii — the conscious choosing of a joyful life.

Members are independent operators, running their own businesses and holding their own insurance and registration. SideBlooms lists you, supports you and stands beside you; the work, the rate and the reputation are all yours.
