Good morning fellow Ladies and boys,

I hope this post finds you well on this fine St. Patrick's Day. Today I would like to introduce to you a few Topic Previews from the upcoming April Issue of the Financial Domination Magazine (Print) and answer a couple of questions.

The first Topic coming this months was really inspired by watching silently from the sidelines as some of our newer and even more experienced Ladies hodge bodged their way through new subs. I always watch in absolute awe as the time from first joining a website as a sub, to being owned in full standing reduces from months to suddenly hours and days. Then a little while later, the boy is back on the market and both are just a little more jaded and upset.  So what went wrong? Perhaps they jumped in without thinking first? Maybe no sort of "testing" was done?

April Issue will cover:

 "10 simple ways to test the average newbie financial sub."

 I personally always test my potential boys fairly early on, simply because it cuts out a lot of heartache on both sides. In my opinion, if a boy can not handle me when I am demanding now, he can not follow my training later either. Let me give you now the first 2 examples of some of my personal tests and if you want to see the rest you will need to purchase the Issue when it comes out for sale on April 1st 2010.

#1 The Random Questions Test:

If a boy comes to me to get to know me, or I have invited him for a chat on my personal messenger,  I usually spend some time with him, asking seemingly random questions of him. Many of them are NOT fetish related, but rather go into his personal life. His private interests and experiences etc. I may ask him a question as to his favorite color or food. About his last relationship and why it ended. I also invite him to ask me questions, which I will answer honestly. But here is where the test truly comes in. A boy who is just there to get off, will always come back to ONLY fetish related questions and even if he asks a "vanilla" question, they will still have the "fetish" overtones. A Wanker will often try to avoid or be slow to answer very private questions, claiming that he is not ready yet to give you this information. Since you are not going to ask him for his Address or SS#, that is pretty stupid. A boy who truly wants to serve you, is not going to be worried about that. Considering he should trust you enough to want to serve you to begin with, and if he trusts you enough to want to serve, then the trust to answer simple questions must be a given. Plus he will be interested in you as the Person as well and want to know the Lady behind the Title.

#2 The you don't have to do this, but I would like xyz Test:

Ok, I admit that is a bit underhanded but it shows you quicker then anything the true submissive heart or not. Usually within the first few days of talking I will bring up a small item (small meaning small priced) off one of my wishlists or something he can tribute cash for. I will let him know that it would bring me great pleasure to receive this item from him or the cash tribute, which ALWAYS will be something that is JUST FOR ME. Meaning it will not be something that would arouse him to purchase.  I also make it clear that this is not an order, but simply a request from me. Now here is where the true test is that 90% of the subs flunk. They do not understand that since I made the request, to them it should feel like an automatic Order and Privilege that I would ask something so little of them and give the great opportunity to PLEASE ME with it. You see what I mean? A good boy, will eagerly look for an opportunity to serve his Miss, to make her happy and if that means she wants that $9.00 Book from  her Wishlist, that $21.99 Pair of Shoes, the $12.99 Chocolate Giftbox, or have a $27.00 Bill paid by him, it would be an honor to hop to it. And he will do so gladly and quickly. You did notice that I kept the amounts rather small didn't you? I figure that up to $50.00 a boy should be able to afford something for his Miss at random. Of course if he has just got done spending 100's on you that is no longer necessary. I recently had a boy apply to serve me and talk very very big. How he wished he could work so hard for me and make me rich etc. Now he did tribute well enough to me, but when I tested him and asked him to pay for a small $118.00 bill (not a bill paying sub, but if he wants to make me rich what is the problem right?) so I could take the next day off and enjoy myself,  he ran. Not only did he run, but he also gave me a very lame excuse the following day, which I saw right through. So yes I think the …request test…is very necessary in weeding out the true intentions of a submissive. Serve Me or serve himself? Now an acceptable answer would be..Goddess, I would love to do it right this minute, but I do not have it right this second. I will however to do it by the morning." That is fine, as long as in the morning it is really done. Remember once a boy says he will do it, you should be able to count on his honesty and sincerity. If he promises and not follows through he is finished and gone.

Look for the other 8 Tests in the April Issue of The Financial Domination Magazine.

Full financial Management – the ultimate control

Most submissives dream of a full Ownership, but very few are well suited to it. Not only are few of the submissives fully suited to such an extreme as full financial management, but many of the Ladies are sadly not in a position to be able to take on such a HUGE responsibility either. I know, it sounds like so much fun, but you literally hold the FULL welfare of your boy in your hand.

What do I mean by full financial management anyways? In short you are his accountant and will have access to ALL his bank statements, all his income, his bills, his obligations, his credit card statements etc. It is a FULL DISCLOSURE of all his assetts and debts. Now you need to sit down and lay out a financial plan for him to make certain ALL his Bills are ALWAYS Paid on time, at times you even have full access to the full banking online and will pay them for him out of his accounts. You will make sure money is allotted for savings, for food, for hygenic items etc. and you will need to give him a small allowance which he can have for himself. Now couple that with you as the Domme having to spend an immense amount of work, time and effort on the boy, plus training him, you need to make also certain that you are being tributed fairly for all of this, but do not become greedy. The Power you hold is immense, but so is the responsibility that you do not overpower him the wrong way.

More on that in the April Issue of the Financial Domination Magazine.

For US based Dommes and subs: Greendot money pack refills – the perfect cash tribute solution.

I have no idea why so many of the financial submissives seem to want to shrink away from greendot money pack refills as their form of cash tributes and gifts to their Lady. Here is a little way of putting it in perspective for you and the reason why I personally PREFER this cash method of tributing.

Many of you boys do not wish to leave a Papertrail for your tributes, due to private vanilla obligations. Some of you do not have debit or credit cards, or claim not to. Others yet again, do not trust certain third Party Billers like alertpay and we all know that PayPal is a really scary options for most of us.

So how do you give a cash tribute which you do not send in the postal mail (which is so easily claimed lost by the boy and Lady). You physically walk into a STORE near you home or office, pick up a greendot money refill pack  and put the amount you are wishing or are ordered to tribute on it. Now yes there is a $4.95 fee for this transaction, but seriously if you are too cheap to pay that small fee in order to make your Lady happy, you are a poor excuse for a sub. Think about it this way…No matter which transaction method you use, their is ALWAYS a fee involved, and most of the time it is higher then $4.95.

Now let us take it even further, this is the so near having to hand cash over to her as possible. Here you are forced to walk into a Store (you keep the purpose in mind at all time and trust me you will be aroused), pick out the card, go to the cashier and if you are really courages, you may even say to the Cashier: " I would like to add X amount of Dollar on this Card for my Goddess". Wow what a rush!

Phone Domination / financial Domination:

If you have a good boy who has served you loyally for a while, it is often automatic for most experienced Ladies to allow him phone training contact. Since he is one of ours that is natural and should be part of the training in due time. There is a very special feeling for both the Lady and the boy to be able to hear each other and connect even deeper. In those cases you usually do direct phone contact to each other. Meaning no third party is involved.

What about the flyby boys or occassional fetishists, who do not have that honor yet? Do you offer financial Domination via phone to them? I have a financial Domination Phone Line via NF, which is seldom used, but often open. Since like all my lines I keep it very clear and precise and do bring it across that I am not just a phone sex operator, but a real Domme, who will not sit here and take your BS, most fetishists do not want to go that route. Remember that many of them are just out for the fantasy, not the actual service when the call a Phone Line like NF.

I see a lot of boys talking big smack about ALL Phone DOMINATION Lines are just Actresses and fakers. Now honestly I find that extremely offensive, since I am certainly not one of them. And when you say ALL then you heap me into it as well. I do offer Phone Financial Domination via Pre-pay option as well, in which I call the boy on a preset appointment and drain and train him that way. But again….

As usual I will include 1 fetish fantasy Story in the issue as well and the deadline for you Ladies to add any Advertisement is March 30th. So write to me with your advertisment fees and the information at GoddessBellaDonna@cox.net if you would like to be included in the issue.

Now to answer a frequently asked question:

Goddess Bella Donna do you still mentor or give workshops for new Dommes?

The answer is yes on both accounts, but I no longer mentor for free. I do have a couple of Ladies for whom I have done this for free for a while now and who have been appreciative of my efforts on their own account. But since most Ladies seem to have an entitlement attitude and assume I should automatically do this for them and give them ALL my knowledge without anything in return, I have decided to make it a lot simpler.

I do offer chat mentoring via my Yahoo messenger and in some cases Phone as well, but the minimum amount I will charge you is $200 a month. No I won't do it for cheaper sorry.

Workshops are available on a weekend bases at my location. You will need to rent a Motel Room, you are not going to be staying at my house. My workshops usually run from Friday to Sunday from 11 am to 4 pm each day, and will include basic BDSM information as well. Hands on training etc.
My Workshops for the Weekend are $1800 for one person, or if you want to bring your subby boy-friend or husband with you to learn bondage, flogging, waxing etc on him, then the cost is $2500. I do require a 50% deposit at the time you book the appointment.

Well darlings I hope you have learned something new. Make sure you purchase the back issues if you haven't done so yet, and the new upcoming April Issue of my Magazine.

Your truly

Goddess Bella Donna
