Will offer some tips if I like what I see.

You seem to be missing a lot, but that's to be expected from a newbie.

they are already in the game.
many are either former providers or also providers with long set of clients and p411 date check rs2k and so on they know the ropes and many of the clients
Some screen for many women all over the country ask around and someone can point you in the right direction.
OR you could go to work for a local agency for some time many have gone that route as well. Get established reviewed and comfortable in your market before you try to make it on your own.
RSG is an agency Id recommend although there are a few more here in Boston.
This Im afraid is not the place to ask such questions...
I wish you the best.
feel free to pm me if you have any questions.

Welcome to Boston!

Work for an agency for a little while. Although I'm sure there are lots of women in the business who are willing to help a new provider in a general sense, a long mentoring of all details to keep you safe is probably more than can reasonably be expected to get from a stranger. I think most indys start out working for someone first. This sort of networking is, I think, the most reliable way to learn the ropes.  

The provider board is also probably a better place for your inquiry, since you have kind of announced a difficulty in screening to the very guys you hope to screen, and it's probably safer to keep insecurity about that stuff out of sight, just in case there are guys out there looking to avoid any screening.

If you would like to be screened please email her at [email protected] with 'Giana' in the subject.
Include the following info:

full name  
email address

2 provider references

Do NOT let a hobbiest mentor you!

Either hire a reputable screener or sign on with a reputable service. There are plenty of both in the area.

Never let a hobbiest mentor you! Even though they think they do, they have no real idea how to screen or keep you safe. They will suggest locations that are self serving to them, regardless if they are safe or not. They will then expect discounts or free dates for their help. Also never let a hobbiest take your pictures or make you a website. There are a lot of guys here who think that they are professional photographers because they have a digital camera and some lights, again they also self serving giving you the wrong advice while at your photo shoot or while making your website. Oh and for the same price theses so call photographers and webmasters do a crappy job while expecting "favors". A professional webmaster or photographer is just that, professional and they do a much better job, usually for close to the same rate the hobbiest charges.

Good luck

Don't just have a friend take pics for you. Your pictures are the first thing a potential client is going to see, and spending a few hundred on a photographer is definitely a worthwhile investment. You'll certainly make your money back quickly anyway.

If you need a photographer, I can hook you up with mine. He's very easy to work with, and his rates are reasonable.

To this day I'm asked "who taught you how to do what you do" because of my attention to details.   I'm from the school of illusion- and I was taught by a top madam in Atlanta several years ago.  The agency scene is different in the south, girls typically work out of three bedroom or so corporate apartments- so there is constant access to one another.  What I didn't know by instinct (and aside from the tingle between my legs trust me, I didn't know much) I was taught by watching other girls entertaining their clients on a daily basis (peering out of closets and cracked bedroom doors because clients were never to be aware of another girl in the apartment for their "date" ).
A madam can give you something an individual screener can't. They're vetted by YEARS of dealing with MULTIPLE girls, thousands of clients and often have worked "in the room" in some other incarnation herself. Their knowledge base is just wider.  You are more obligated to submit to a madam's direction than a screener who is essentially a peer working for you so her thoughts can be reduced to suggestions.  Structure is good in the beginning.  Unless it is your intention to work ultimately work at a high price point or extreme low volume- trust me...if you work with an agency you learn you can do anything independently in terms of time management and being professional, taking good care of yourself physically if you know what I mean lol.  Also you can relax more and learn the actual practice of hostessing if you know that a client is a longerm guest of a service versus someone who may have just worked with the screener for the first time ever.  Employment information and references and the like are great- but what is really great are known friends who have been patronizing a particular service for years.  That little nagging 'danger' voice in the back of your head is completely eliminated and you can just be free to explore the situation.

Here girls don't work in the same space so the closest you can get to that sort of thing to learn how we hostess is either working for a service or aligning yourself with a companion who is your personal template for how you wish to be/work.  Look on Eros- who do you admire?  Whose photographs, website, general presentation and reviews do find enviable?  If you could be another provider overnight who would you be?  Contact her.  Women in this business are generally speaking...crazy.  Some are quite dangerous.  But if you take some time to do a bit of research via boards you will see which ones are "on it" and which ones are communicative and caring enough to give you advice when you seek it.

Like Nicole said, I did some wild and crazy shit in the beginning as an independent- I don't know how I survived my early twenties.  But you have so many resources available to you, all just a click away.  Email me, I'd like to send you an e-book which was just shared with me and has literally changed my perspective on the business overnight a couple of weeks ago and I think its a must read for everyone (even us "veterans" but especially the new ladies).

I would agree with comments above- don't take advice from hobbyists until you can discern between what you can take to the bank and what is entirely self-serving.  Some of the things you will be told as a new provider by clients are entirely harmless, perhaps even helpful.  Some of it will legit put you in danger.  Until you can suss out which is which an experienced lady friend / screener/ madam can steer you in the right direction.

Good luck...its hard, its beautiful, its amazing.
One taste of this world was enough to make me turn my back on everything.  I think that if a woman finds this world for the right reasons and has the right temperament for it...it can be deeply fulfilling on many levels.

All of my best,
A
