Read the self help guide. It can be found at the top of the main newbie page under the life preserver. The "Provider Ad Posting Guidelines" can be found there. (along with a lot of other useful info). A little general info on ads: you can place them in the regional ad board where you provide, or the region you will be touring. You can place an ad once every seven days. You can put a picture on your ad. Look at the thread below started by "sweetblonde" about 6 threads below this one. I have provided a link there which goes to a post with some really good info on posting pictures.

To become a member of the provider only board you need to have at least three reviews. If you already have at least one review here, you can contact admin and ask them to link your review profile to your username. (If you don't have reviews yet, then you should do that when you get your first one) This will create a link to your reviews every time you post, plus it will give you "limited provider VIP " which allows you access to The PM system, and allows you to read your own reviews. If you want full VIP, (which gives you access to everyone's reviews as well as better searching abilities) you have to pay. Once you have 3 reviews (or if you already do) you can contact admin and ask them for access to the Provider Only board. They might ask you to develop more of a posting history, before they allow you on, so you may want to post occasionally on threads on your regional discussion boards and/or one or more of the general boards.

Welcome, and good luck.
