since many hobbyists are unwilling to TOFTT and be the first. Are you really brand new, or have you worked from places like BP or CL? If you have already seen some clients maybe you can get one to review you here. With some good advertising here on TER (on your regions ad page), eventually someone will step up and be your first. Where are you located?

BTW - love your "ladies too" comment.... we female hobbyists appreciate when we are included in a providers post

When you do see a client, encourage them to join TER (if they are not a member), and to write a review for you.

Don't be overly pushy, but do let them know that you would appreciate it greatly.  They might even do it.

as a provider.  Be sure to read several pages here on the Newbie board so you can see just how this site works.  Many questions repeat every 5 or 6 days.

Check reviews for ladies in your general area and with your similar characteristics and menu options to determine a fair rate.  You might want to start slightly below the local going rate since you are just starting out.  After you establish yourself, you can slowly raise your rates.  You might want to consider grandfathering the rate for those guys who saw you in the beginning.

Good luck to you.
