You've made a very good choice by joining TER.
CL is a huge NO-NO. There are other websites that are more reputable:
Escorts.com
EscortPost.com
Girl-Directory.com
Eros.com
Backpage.com
No high-class man is going to use CL. They will go sites like TER and Eros.
I got assaulted twice by clients I met off CL. I screened them well..and they turned out to be sewer scum.
If you don't have a website, get one for free at rare-escorts.com.
Make sure the TER logo is on the home page of your website before you post.
You can also post an ad on your local regional board (once every 7 days)
In order for you to get a review, a client must submit one for you.
Do NOT self-review yourself (that'll get you banned)
I suggest reading TER's Instruction Manual. It's a lot to read, but well worth it.
hello all. i'm katie.
i just started this whole escort thing, less than a month ago. in fact, my first client is the one who referred me here, he said that you girls could help me.
i have no idea how to get started, where to advertise, how to effectively advertise, or anything like that. i've been posting on craigslist but not only do high-class men avoid CL for the most part, i am TERRIFIED of getting in trouble or being snared by an undercover. i am a single mom to a 19-month-old boy who is absolutely the light of my life, and if we lost each other it would be disastrous for both of us... but this is the only way i can make good money and still spend most of my time with him. i don't know how to get reviews.. i don't know any of that stuff.
could someone please help me? i hate to sound so desperate.. but i could really use a mentor. if you have AIM, my screenname is ktbutterflydust.
thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Invest the $20 to get VIP status until you start getting reviews. You can then use the PM mail system in TER and talk to ladies and gents personally. You can also take a look at all the juicy details of other providers reviews and get an idea of how you want to run your business.
Good luck to you, have fun and play safe. Screen intently. Don't just let any guy who calls you up for a date show up without finding out who he is and that he isn't LE. Be sure to check the national DNS lists or black lists. The other girls can help you find those as I don't bother to look for them.
b-
*blink* i canNOT figure out how to post something on Eros.com as a provider? it is making my brain hurt. i'm getting frustrated.. sigh.
Eros is a pay ad site, at the top of home page click on info/help and at the top of that page click on New Advertizer Contact Form. Either fill that out or a shortcut would be just to call the 800 number. You will be on hold for a few minutes but they will be very helpful in getting you started. Hope that helps.
oh, btw, thank you so much everyone for your help. sorry if i sound like an ingrate, i'm feeling uncharacteristically frazzled today.
DO NOT POST IN CL. Use Eros (they have so much traffic) or Cityvibe.
Also DO screen!

Most cities have a local board that is popular with the hobbyists. Ask your gentlemen friends which boards they frequent.
Yes, avoid CL and Backpage. Be careful because LE is everywhere. Screen well.
usually post for ladies such as yourself. I've checked back a couple of times and he hasn't posted it yet so I will steal it. I turned a lady who was going indy from an agency on to the site at the end of a session not too long ago, and she has since told me that it was invaluable to her.
The lady who runs the site will help you as well (I don't know who it is, but my provider friend says she's great), but at least look through the site if you choose not to contact her.
Pay particular attention to the blog - it has great advice.
Also, my advice in addition to terrev's link is to find your regional board and watch it for a while (or browse back if you are impatient) to see who the players are. You will quickly identify other veteran providers who you should approach for help. Buy a VIP membership so that you can read the local reviews, particularly of the providers you have identified for possible help, and then PM an introduction. Depending on your area, you probably won't be seen as competition, and you should know that a vast majority of these ladies will be happy to help you as long as you don't abuse it.
Good luck and whatever you do, put safety first.

need to make contact with several ladies in your area who can teach you the biz; not the sex part but the business part. You need to screen your clients so you don't run into a wierdo or LE. Ladies can give the how & why better than we guys.
Good luck and hobby safe. I for one admire your courage to seek a better life style.
