Maybe work with an agency to get started and get known to build up a client base and then you could go indy after that.
Lots of guys won't see a lady with no reviews, because of not knowing who you are. I know I won't, unless she is with an agency that I trust.
Whats the best way to gain exposure and gain client reviews?
Combined with patience. It's rough at first, but it pays off. Definitely post on the boards though, especially the photo only board.
Post ads on your local regional ad board, once every 7 days is allowed. Post on your local regional board so your name gets known there. Post daily pictures on the photo only board, you can do that every day.

you are moderated which means all your posts are reviewed by TER staff before they go live. It could take hours to a day to display. Don't be disheartened. Please post as suggested above. After a time... maybe 30 days... and with adequate posting history showing you can follow the rules, you may request to be un-moderated. IF you break the rules, moderation can be re-applied.
There are rules to learn.
Welcome!

As a client, I mostly "shop" on BP. I know it has a bad reputation here, but my experiences this year have been, overwhelmingly, positive.
So my advice is, don't be so nervous. Get a separate number (voice only or text only, whatever makes you most comfortable), and put it out there on BP. Beware you'll probably get a bunch of bullshit, time-wasting contacts. But I'd bet you'll find plenty of useful contacts at the same time.
Still reading? Ok, lemme define useful bs BS contacts. (Note I prefer text to voice, so yeah):
"Yo". Useless, block immediately.
"Dayum you sexy". Same
etc.
"Hello". Equally useless, but probably benign. It depends on how desperate you are for more business. If you need more regulars, respond, at least until some BS answer happens. Otherwise, ignore.
"Hi, I'm Richard, I saw your ad. I'd love to see you for 1hr OC tonight if you are available"
This is probably me, so please respond!
It took awhile, but my point is, lots of perfectly reputable providers also advertise on BP, so don't be afraid of it. Just be prepared for it
I took the plunge lol richard lol. Also people are messaging me but i can not read "vip only" mail as a basic mmb so i must wait. For three reviews to read.
Richard thanks for that information. Because I too, just started on BP and I was so scared. I felt like everyone was bsN. But I am trying it out again. I am new and everyone does approach the texting differently. I was laughing, because it was so on point!
