I am new and I was wondering...a lot of sites are 29.95 to view your listings and this site did charge something, I can't remember. I advertise a lot since I started last week but I have one review under a name I used when I worked w/ an agency and found out about advertising on the internet. Can I pay a smaller fee to see that one review. It is by a name the agency gave me but I am just wanting to know what I did wrong so I don't get negative reviews under this name

Since you are here posting, you are at least a basic member.  As a basic member you can read the basic information of the reviews that were done concerning you when you worked for the agency.  The only problem is that some basic reviews do not give as much detail as you may feel you need, but some reviewers will state in the basic section whether they would see you again.  Normally, if a statement is made in the basic section of the review that they would not see you again then the detail in the VIP part of the review probaly is going to be somewhat negative.
    A quick way to get a sense of whether the reviewers were pleased with you, and you can do this as a basic member, is to look at the performance rating that you were given by each reviewer.  A score of "6" is borderline, 5 or lower is not good, 7 or higher generally means that the reviewers were satisfied enough with their visits with you that they would probaly book you again if circumstances allowed them to do so.
    If you want the nitty gritty as to why you were rated as you were, then you will need to get a VIP membership.  You can start with a one month VIP member ship, which I think is something like $20, or you can buy a quarterly membership for $50.  I know that the quarterly membership can be purchased by money order and I would guess that the one month one can also.  If you are looking to increase your first time business and return business by evaluating your past reviews, then the $20 or $50 is a small investment that will pay you back many times.
    Another advantage of the VIP membership is that it allows you to get mail from other VIP members.  This may prove to be valuable, say if there are NO reviews of you anywhere (this happens) but a VIP may want to see you.  Many members of this site will not see an unreviewed provider, you may have to do some email exchange with the ones who are interested in you but reluctant to take a chance due to no reviews.

turned up when I use the Search Engine (that also comes with a VIP membership)  And I chat with them on that board and get a sense of their spark and appeal.  If they PM me (private message) about something... and we chat privately once or twice I discover all sorts of things about them and want to meet them.  A VIP membership seems like a small investment for your business if you are active on the board.  It can be so much more than reading your reviews.
 I'm guessing you'll meet a different kind of hobbiest on the TER board than the casual internet surfer.
 You have a very interesting style on your website!  Very frank...  It sounds like you'd be fun on the board.

(I'm glad we met in your wild college days!  If you travel, PM me!)

I just tried to see my one review and it is gone. I have had trouble with computer viruses lately but I think this may be something taken off the site. I have another customer who says he is going to post a review also but now I can't find my first one

I am doing a search under carolina 843 and wannarideher since there is already a stephanie in charleston so I have my own handle to help hobbyists tell the difference.

If you buy a VIP membership...even if it only turns into one appointment a month, you're way ahead! VIP Private Mail give hobbyists another way to contact you. It just basic marketing!

email them off the homepage and ask.  I'm sure they'll get you set up and ready to roll.
