your local ad board is a good start, also

I would spend time getting to know local posters on your local discussion board.Perhaps  make replies or even start a thread.                    tc & gl

as you are not reviewed yet.  Someone with a TER history...  posts or reviews...  is more likely to get reviews approved.  
Even without a TER Profile (which is established by your first reviewer), you are still a member.  You can post an ad once every 7 days on your local ad board.  You can particpate on any board but it would do the most good on your local board...  be careful not to start posts that look like ads which would then count as your ad for the week.   Thoughtful replies will get members comfortable with you.  I know that led me to some meetings which I otherwise would not have made.  If you want TER reviews, you have to have ads on TER.  
It is bad policy to give discounts for reviews but it's ok to have a price for TER members.  Since your account is not yet linked to a provider profile, you can't use the TER Private Message system unless you pay for VIP.  Once you are established as a provider, you get FREE limited VIP, so you can read your complete reviews & access the PM system.  A PM on TER does not replace screening but does establish that they are members.  You can read their board posts & other reviews.  

I hope this helps

I am in the same boat as you!   You asked what I was going to ask!

It sure is a process!!

I am totally with you here, SweetCheeks! It's such a conundrum. I finally got one review, but getting any more has proved to be fruitless (although one of my old regulars who is not a member of TER has promised to think about it). My clients tend to not be members as well, which is weird since I only have one ad up. It's an Eros ad. I am convinced they lurk here or something.

Welcome to TER and all he best of luck to you!!

I'm in OC and love to meet (and review) new girls. I find them to be very genuine. They haven't been tainted by the profession yet. Send me a pm and lets meet.
