Newbie - FAQ
Alright, thanks for the info. I figured that would be a way to attract clients, but I did want to make sure. I kind of feel silly now, but I do understand what you're saying. But, I'm glad I said something because you mentioned maybe giving discounts instead of "freebies" 
I think that's a great idea and I will try offering it in the NY board.
PS...Thanks for the offer to come to Seattle.

Thanks for the response Meow, but now I'm more confused. I took Jazz's advice and posted the offer in NY (my regional board). I realized that my orignal offer was flawed, so I did add that I wanted several TER members to take part. I'm hoping that would elminate some of the doubt and bias that allowing only one member to particpate would create.
My assumption was the integrity of the review would rely more on the reviewer (considering they are apart of the same community I am trying to become apart of) than myself. If I was offering this to people outside of the board, I could understand. But, considering members have paid their dues to the site, I don't see how a PERSONAL discount should be for the benefit of the board. My discount is a benefit of the board in itself. The fact that I would offer this shows that I believe in the board and what it's particpants can help me accomplish and learn. And the benefit they recieve is obvious.
I'm pretty much putting my livelihood in the hands of a few people in hopes it will show my potential to the entire group.
I apologize if this has created a stir. But, it suffices to say, as a "newbie" I make mistakes. If anyone is in objection or offended by my posting, I apologize. Anyone who is interested or able to provide constructive critism, let me know. I think it's a good idea, and with tweaks, it may provide a venue for the many girls who are working hard trying to become legitimized (ironic) in this business. Besides..it's only an agreement between consenting two adults
