Can I do that without having to join an agency?I'd prefer to stay solo. I'm only asking because my first was very honest in tellin me that I expected too little, I just don't know little I was shooting at.
Hi, I tried to add to a previous post but it was a little ways ago so figured I'd add at the begining instead. I'm recently providing privately, my first is who told me about this site to get advice and such. I have no idea how much of a donation to expect, I know someone said to check local rates and such, but how do I do that? I don't know anyone else to talk to about it, nor do I necessarily want my friends and family to know. Any help and other advice would be greatly appreciated!
You should be asking for a donation on what you feel your time is worth... not what someone else says.
You can check local rates by going to search reviews section and plugging in your area code to get an idea of what the market is like in your area.
Most importantly, you need to network with other providers in your area... not sure where you are actually located, but I know in Chi Town the provider community is highly supportive of new ladies.

and sgandolfs is right, the value of your time and companionship is up to you. Still, I understand your curiosity about what the going rate is.
The easiest way to find out what other ladies charge is to search the reviews. I don't work for TER, but I would encourage you to buy a VIP membership, if only for one month, if you are serious about pursuing this. As a VIP you can do a much more detailed search. If you want to know what the market will bear for you, you can do a specific search of your city, or area code, of ladies matching your general description and services on offer. BTW, on more than one occasion, I've bought the monthly VIP status, which is set up for recurring billing. Trust me, you can immediately cancel, no future billings will happen, and you will have 30 days to gather information.
Even if you don't choose to become a VIP you can do a search on your area for ladies that match your general description. Look at their web links! What do they offer, and what do they charge?
I hope this helps,

Set your rate to again, what YOU feel you are worth timewise. I would also post a message on your local board asking for feedback from local ladies...
Good advise given as to joining TER community as VIP member if only for a short time, although I believe your will find the investment well worth the outlay of money.
Honestly from a client perspective, I rarely use agencies and prefer to see independent ladies that are either well reviewed or recommended by my regulars.
