You have a provider profile here, which means you can send and receive PMs. Personally, I feel that VIP is worth it because you can read reviews on other providers and read reviews that potential clients have written.
While I don't read client reviews all the time, it does give you a good idea of what it is they look for in a provider. You gain clients here by being active on the boards and posting a weekly ad on your city's ad board. Be engaging. Respond to ISOs when they're applicable! The original poster may not respond (and often they don't), but responding to those gets you out there; other potential clients read the boards a lot, but don't participate. Lots of places have free website services, but you're better off investing in one and paying; clients generally don't like websites that contain a bunch of pop-up ads, and most free sites do. I personally use wordpress, and i pay $100 a year for it and maintain it myself. I'd recommend doing a search of this forum for specific topics pertaining to websites and the like. it's worth the time! Good luckall help would be appreciated

Good luck
a provider has a profile does not mean she can send and receive PM messages. VIP is needed to use the PM system.
...available to providers but she has to request it from admin. The way to tell a provider has the free limited provider VIP is the link "see my TER reviews" will be below her handle whenever she posts something.
The OP has the free limited provider VIP since the see my reviews link is present in her post.

You should get a WIX if you're crafty and like to play around with layouts. They're free, except that you'll have ads popping up. I'd recommend investing in a domain name too.
