If so, I suggest going to the Self Help Board/Board Policies link that you'll find on this page, and look up the rules for putting up an ad.
It will involve you having an active TER link on your site, among other things. Do some research and if you have questions, people here will be very happy to help you. Welcome to TER.I am looking to post to your boards. Please let me know what my next step is.
Thank you Rebbeca --

Welcome to TER.
Your next step is to let potential clients know about you. I've included some information here on how you can use TER to do that. I know this is lengthy but it's all in one place. Finding it yourself would take a while since it is spread over several sections of TER.
I've also included information on how to use TER after you have received your first review.
Everyone when they join TER is a basic member. There is no "Provider" membership, provider page, etc. (Even though you may have clicked register as a provider when you signed up [joined].) The way to let others know you are a provider is to post ads on your TER regional ad board, post comments on your regional discussion board (Don’t make these discussion board posts about you like an ad. They will be disallowed. Make them pertinent to the subject.), and participate on the Photo Only board. Check out the Self-Help Center for the guidelines for posting ads and how to post photos on the photo only board. The Self-Help Center link is on the upper right of most of the discussion boards under the red and white life preserver. It’s also at the bottom of the list of Quick Links on the left of the My TER page. See the My TER tab at the top of the page. Read everything there even the stuff for the guys. It's good to know all you can. You can also find the Self-Help Center by clicking on the Site Map link at the bottom of any page.
You can pay for a VIP membership. It's $30 a month. It will give you full access to all TER has to offer but it won't distinguish you from any other member. It won't give you access to provider functions. The things I mentioned above and the link spoken about in the next paragraph will do that.
Once a guy has seen you, written a review of you, submitted it to TER, it's been approved, and posted you will have a provider profile page. Your first reviewer creates this profile when he fills out your information. You will then be assigned a TER provider ID number. It will be on the upper left of your profile. (You can contact TER and correct anything the guy got wrong or didn’t know on your profile.) Now you can contact TER and request they connect your newly created profile with your TER handle/user name (Rebecca6555). Contact them using the e-mail you signed up with. Their address is [email protected]. (If you like you can use the “Contact Us” link instead. It’s at the very bottom of any page.) This will give you the free limited provider VIP membership. It will also give you access to the TER PM (private mail) system and allow you to read your reviews in there entirety. TER will place a link which says "See my TER reviews" under your handle whenever you post on a TER board. Guys can click the link and be taken to your profile page and check you out. The provider VIP will also give you access to the provider functions on TER such as being able to white list clients. There is a Provider's only discussion board. You have to have 3 reviews and establish yourself on the boards then request that TER give you access to it.
If you think you already have reviews here you can search to see. Click the reviews tab at the top of the page. Then click search reviews (just under the reviews tab). Scroll down to the 4th section titled Provider's Contact Information and enter your info. The basics should be enough. That is your provider name, phone number, e-mail, city, and country. Next scroll to the bottom of the page and click the big search button. You will be taken to a page containing the results. If you have reviews your name along with others will be listed down the left margin. Click on your name (in teal colored font) and you will be taken to your profile.
One other bit of information is your posts on any board right now are moderated. TER admin has to check them and approve them before they show up (post). Every new TER member goes through this. After you have posted on the boards for a while you can contact admin using "Contact Us" at the bottom of any page and request to be un-moderated.
Keep coming back to the Newbie Board (aka FAQ's for Newbies) to ask questions. Read back on the Newbie board and you'll find many questions asked and answered many of which will likely be things you want and need to know.
Welcom
luck in your quest to start your own business.
