I know it can be frustrating, but all of us, provider and hobbyist, face this situation.

I see you have posted an ad on the Florida board, and it has received some attention.  Florida is a fun, chatty board.  If you take part in the banter, you can introduce yourself, and let folks get to know you.

Best wishes to you,

Re: newbie provider dilemma

As long as you are up front with the guys and explain your situation, it won't be long before a few will "take on for the team" and you will be on  your way!

Give them an offer they can't refuse - a money back guarantee.  I've never had anyone take me up on that - except one guy who fell "in love" with my partner after drinking our beer in our jacuzzi and playing video games with her for an hour...

Once you have three reviews be sure to request access to the provider forum.  

Hugs,
TS Jamie

there are over 1,000's of escorts writing books with useless information -

you have to live the life, to walk the walk, and live the talk -

After 11 years- You still cannot write a book - beause you learn something new everyday..

One persons book  - is only ONE persons view -

I was an escort for  6 years without reviews- because- there wasnt any such thing LOL ...

there are many girls that are delisted or not on review boards at all -

Not all girls are on review boards -

you can make lots of money in this industy, its all about approach..
with a free site ... You arent a step in the right direction -

Its all about presentation -

As it's been said time and again Patience, Patience, Patience...

Not knowing what geographic area you're in but if you visit your Regional Board and get known by asking questions and providing a little insight to yourself will go a long way.  Another BIG plus would be to look at the Meet & Greet board for your area as well.  Ladies usually attend for free and will most certainly increase not only your bookings but you'll be seen by all TER members, most who write REVIEWS!
And for God sakes, try to remember the gents/TER aliases (most have a name tag stating such)you encounter and send them a PM telling them how hot you thought he was and that you really enjoyed your conversation, etc. etc. etc.  This happened to me recently where a local provider shot me a PM apologizing for not getting to talk with me because I was engaged in another discussion.  That really didn't say much. If she would have said something along the lines of " I couldn't help noticing from across the room how Hot you were and it was my loss not being able to speak with you, etc... I would have booked with her the next day!!
This business is all about the Fantasy, play up to it and I'm sure you'll eventually do well.
Also adding a pic/link per the rules of TER will help as well.
Good Luck!  Send me a PM if you have any questions.

Overnight successes rarely happen overnight.

As already stated your "catch 22" is suffered by new hobbyists as well as new providers.  Any new venture takes some start up time.
VERY MUCH in your favor is that you have priced yourself attractively for a LARGE economic demographic, and I'd like to add that there is NO shame in a low cost or "free" website in which to advertise yourself. (a prominent member of TER's unofficial "Club 300" uses a simple 1 page web ad that she constructed herself for free and costs less than $10.00 per month to maintain.)

 Breaking inertia requires far more energy than maintaining it; but if you give a great value for the hobbyists dollar you'll soon have those all important reviews to propel you at what ever cruising speed you wish.

 Best of luck

Alot of truth in Ciara's comments. TER is a wonderful place with wonderful people, but as a provider you must realize it is only a portion of the market for you. It is all about how and where you market yourself.

Just kidding. Stay away from CL and Backpage.

I did a quick TER search on Pensacola and 850, and you don't seem to have much quality competition. Either that, or guys in FL are really hard graders.

Be a little chatty on the boards here and other places. As guys get more comfortable with you, they might decide to TOFTT.

You can always tour the Midwest. You look very pretty and I'd be happy to TOFTT.

One other problem you will have: TER has a new policy on reviews of New Ladies by New Gents. Those reviews are "unapproved" until the lady gets a few of them, or gets a review from a seasoned TER reviewer. Then the newbie guy can resubmit the review.

Your area of the nation has been hit hard with the mortgage crisis. You should consider touring in the DC area.

Hi Joy and Welcome...
I have said this many times, and I know how you feel.
I see a great deal of Gentlemen who are Not Ter members and some who are members but they will never review anyone. I get so few reviews in connection to the Gentlemen I see. It is helpful and even non members read about us on Ter and will call because you are listed, yet you can still be busy without reviews. It will happen it just takes time. You can still earn a good living w/out the reviews so don't worry, til it does happen concentrate on your expossure, your site, your Gentlemen and in due time it will happen. Sooner than you think.  Good luck Hon~~
