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.

Thank you! Hoping this is right-

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!

Thank you Nicole!

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.

Both good suggestions a screener like Nicole who has worked as a provider or an agency are for sure your safest and best way to learn the ropes

when I started, a gabillion yrs ago...well 8yrs ago actually...lol it was a very different climate. It was a different game all together.
we went more on gutt instinct and hoped for the best thank goodness I had a guardian angel back then as well...
Now its all organized, refs verification sites reviews the whole nine yards.
You need to understand whats going on and today with all the help avail theres no need for You to stumble through it.
Screeners or an agency will do that for you. They will keep you safe.

Hi Gina!  

Nicole is a great mentor and screener. She helped me get started and learn the business about a year and a half ago. She is a smart cookie and will keep you safe.  

I would recommend her to anyone as a potential mentor/screener.

Welcome to this crazy, awesome lifestyle!

Best,  
Alex

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  
ter handle (optional)  
2 provider references

 

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

END OF MESSAGE

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.

END OF MESSAGE

yes shoot only with a pro. imo

to link your reviews to your screen name
that way the (see my reviews) shows up every time you post allowing ppl to get to them at anytime.

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

Go with Sweetnicole1. Stay away from agencies. To many of them are getting busted all around the country right now by LE. Screeners are more private and less likely to be tracked. The work in smaller cells then the agencies do.  Agencies can be charged with human trafficking where a screener can't.  Pay attention.  Nicole will keep you out of trouble. She is worth every penny, you can't puta price on your safety!

"Photographer suggestions" started by RobinArdeur on 7/20/2013 11:19:29 AM.

Advice, recommendations, suggestions (including mine):  

Don't forget to WATERMARK your pictures!

Depending on your major concerns, get everything written in the CONTRACT (privacy issues, copyright, ownership, etc.)

Etc

Thanks Nicole, I'll do that!

Good Post Ally.

I do however think some hobbyist can be helpful to new ladies.

I have also met some ladies that I would trust to give somebody new in the business
good information. Unfortunately, not as many as the ladder.

I find not only jealousy but an interest to take the ladies money is sad but is out there

Hobbyists can absolutely be helpful to providers.
I have one client who I run just about everything I say and do professionally (and personally lol) by before I do it.  
He's saved me from putting some pretty ratchet shit into the atmosphere and he's helped me become more confident in who I am.
He tells me when to temper down my public comments or attitude and go sit down somewhere.  He tells me which photographs are good and which are bad.  He tells me what resonates in an advertisement or in session and what doesn't.  9 times out of 10 he's pretty dead on and the opinions of other clients I also respect/have befriended or new clients who are to see me reflect the impressions he's taken away from whatever I've asked him about.
Someone like him would (and does) give amazing advice to a brand new provider from a true gentleman's perspective.

But for every hobbyist like him there is another out here who will tell a brand new girl condoms are optional, she should lower her rates across the board for mass appeal, she should incall in a certain town because he can throw a rock out of his office window and hit the hotel he suggests- nevermind that town has a hard-on for rounding up the girls etc.
There are clients for whom escorts are not only merely the entertainment (not real people) but who also find the mindfuck/manipulation/seduction game as amusing as the actual sessions if not more so.
I could tell you some pretty heartbreaking stories of this- any girl who has been at it a while can.
This is why I say a provider is better off learning in a structured way from a madam or a peer than accepting the advice of hobbyists before she can discern which client has her best interest at heart and which would like to exploit her.

New girls should not go knocking on every provider's door for help either.  Some of these pirate wenches just want to keep tabs on "the competition" and will intentionally give harmful advice.  But again, its not in the interest of a madam or a screener or a well-established provider who participates positively within the adult community to do so.

Those are my thoughts on it...

Good luck to Gianna. Check your email for the book.
Escalade- you're on punishment for six months since you can't stop yourself from crazy talking to my lady friends.

Much love to all~

"I did some wild and crazy shit in the beginning as an independent- I don't know how I survived my early twenties."

DANG I wish I knew you in your twenties...

                 

I would not recommend an agency.  That's how I started and I learned a few things(very few) but for the most part they did all the wrong things. I am positive not all agencies are super bad but many are glorified pimps. Just be careful which again y you pick if you go that direction.  

I will say this. I have learned 10x more from this forum and all the wonderful people who are so willing to help out than I did with the agency or just on my own!!!! Love the TER family!

I'm still in my twenties babe- 29 in the fall.

But yeah uh, 22-26 I was out of control lol.  
Around 27 shit started to get real haha.

...errors in your profile.  Click on "Contact Us" at the bottom of the page.

From TER Guidelines:

"The first step to a provider taking advantage of complimentary limited provider VIP is the provider requesting that her username be linked to her review profile.  You can check to see if this has already been done by looking at one of your messages posted on this board. Look for a link that says "See my TER reviews"  just under the subject line and to the right of your username. If it's already there, then you're linked. If it's not, click on  "Contact Us"  in the upper right corner of the page and request to have your reviews linked to your user name. Please make sure to include your provider ID number or a direct link to your review profile in the message. Alternatively, if you cannot locate your profile ID number,  you can include the contact information that is listed in your TER review profile, such as your phone number, email address, or website."

and not on this thread to find out how to see you.

Good luck.

My best advice to you is to read all the information you can find and use your judgement on the advice you do get.

I never had a screener, or mentor.
