Transform Your Mermaid Passion into a Thriving Business with MerMapp!

Hey there, fellow merfolk enthusiasts! It's Corinna, CEO and MerPreneur at MerMapp. Have you ever dreamt of turning your love for all things aquatic into a real-life career? Maybe you envision yourself gracefully gliding through a pool at a children's birthday party, captivating everyone with your shimmering tail and infectious enthusiasm. Or perhaps you see yourself as the go-to underwater photographer, capturing breathtaking images of mermaids in their natural (well, pool) habitat. Or maybe you’ve even already dipped your fins into the pro-fish-ional waters?

Whatever your mermaid dream might be, the reality is that navigating the waters of the professional mermaid world can feel a little… murky. It's a young industry, and while the demand for mermaid-themed events and experiences is definitely on the rise, there's a lack of established guidelines and resources. This can make it tough to stand out from the crowd and land those dream gigs.

Before MerMapp came along, I was a struggling freelance mermaid myself. I spent countless hours scouring online forums and social media groups, desperately trying to connect with potential clients. It felt like swimming against the current – exhausting and frustrating.

That's one of the reasons why I created MerMapp - to provide our community with the first global job portal specifically designed for the mermaid community and its fantastic fringe dwellers (like underwater photographers, costume makers, and swimming instructors). It's a one-stop shop for all things mermaid - and our “Service Exchange” has everything mer-career-related, and let me tell you, it's a game-changer!

Been there, tail-flipped that!
