At the risk of sounding like a wise-ass the only non-pros I know have sex for free.  If you are charging for it you are a pro. Embrace that as obviously non of us reading and posting here have a problem with it!

Craig's list has become a tough place for a legit gal to advertise. It is still possible but you have to be diligent and savvy about screening. Cityvibe and Eros are good places to post a listing.  There may also be local boards in your area.  Have you tried posting on the Chicago area board? Best of luck!

in that you will see new men but don't want to draw too much attention to yourself.  I have known a few gals like that.

Here's what I would suggest:

Team up with gals that you can meet on various chat rooms and offer to do doubles.  That way you can network and meet clients that way.  (Though don't go stealing any without being upfront about it.)

Also, right here on TER you can meet guys.  You ought to get yourself a website and affix the TER badge to it so you can be all legal here, but mixing it up with the guys on the General Discussion Board or even on this board is how I've met some very nice providers whom I otherwise would have never met.

Best of luck to you.

and see us over on the regional board in Chicago.  There have been some prvious threads about LE and doing what "you" have to do to become "professional" and "safe" for not only yourself but to us clients as well.
Look forward to seeing you on the Chicago board!

you do this on the side (in addition to a "real job") and just want to play safe while making some extra cash.  My suggestion is to either list on Preferred411, Eros, or some other mall site.  Or, if you prefer, use one of the templete web sites, Rare escorts for one, to get a web site inexpensively for yourself.  You also might want to contact a lady or two in the Chicago area who is also low volume and UTR.  You can find ladies like we guys do by searching reviews.

You are allowed to post one ad per week on a regional board (Chicago for you).  Other details can be found on the top of this page under Newbie Manual.  Good luck and be safe.

Ive found some provider's websites where it is clearly established that she is "selective" in her choice of clients, and has "limited availability". This leaves it open for you to screen thoroughly, and not be committed to the general hobby community.

An ad on Eros, or similar site, is designed to draw all of the reader's attention to your pictures, while a website places the emphasis on wherever you want it to be. If you want to avoid a bunch of calls/emails every day than you should consider the amount of control you need to have over the presentation of your information.

But I also understand there is a provider's only board (here on TER) where you can talk to, and ask the advice of other providers. Im sure they have MUCH better advice to offer you! This might be an even better place to start than your regional board, though you may need VIP status to access it.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

I have to agree with all the advise listed here.  It's not at all a bad thing to stay low volume/ UTR (Under The Radar).  YOU have every right to be selective in who and how often you choose to work.  My ATF is low volume and does consulting work days (except for days when I'm with her).

Having a day job allows for paying taxes & shows a reasonable source of income (means of support) necessary for so many things.  

TER is the best of course.  I'd also suggest that you get a free membership on Escorts.com (my first site).  2 or 3 real pictures...  seductive.  Topless but covered (hands/drape).  I'm gonna puke if I see another butt shot!  TER leans towards the client, Escorts towards the paid girls...  I see some clever ladies have their contacts encoded in the free interview section.    

Re:  Reviews.  They may vary no matter what you do.  Don't worry about it.  (I always disreguard the highest & lowest.)  DO be a good, HONEST PROVIDER.  Honest time (there's an art to keeping things moving without letting the client see you look at a clock).  Provide the services you say at the prices you say.  Don't over book...  leave time between for rest & clean up.  Use a disposable phone, not your regular phone & shut it off when you're not taking calls.  Be discrete, demand the same from clients.  Do Not See any that are not.  

I think a web site is a great idea.  Be discrete in how you descibe your location (if in call).  Just a city is enough usually.  Don't post a exit number if the hotel is the only one there.  Even if the management winks at the goings on, they can't withstand the publicity of being made public.    

Tell the client to call from the exit & Be prepared to give good directions from there.  Have them call when they arrive outside & look them over before you let them in.    

It's much safer to work from a location, away from where you live.  I've learned a tremendous amount by reading discussions here.  It's worth your time.  

Have fun, be safe.
