Hello I am trying to become an agency on ter and promote my website and get clients im not sure on how to begin. if theres anyone out there that could help I would really appreciate it.
I agree with p'storm's comment and more. There's a tiny little thing that says based in Houston but then the names say available "nationwide" but no one seems to actually be anywhere.
You need to look at some other agencies and see how they built their websites (and good reputations). From MY side of things, I'm usually not looking by name or hair color, I'm looking to see who is in the city I'm in: sort / organize by location.
There are many agencies that maintain good websites and SERVICES, post ads to TER and comments to the boards, reply to posts on the boards, answer phones, emails and texts, make appointments and do all that other agency stuff but do not exist on TER as an AGENCY. (Agency fields on the Profiles are blank, Agency Search = zero hits for their name, etc.).
I'd suggest focusing on your business first and worry about the TER Agency listing after you're established.
EDIT: mrfisher was posting while I was typing. REAL photos, for sure. Professional pics are good but not necessary, depending on the "scale" of your agency. UPscale had better be pro pics. Even intermediate agencies will use pro pics. The agency will pay for the shoots, I believe, as a cost of doing business. I can think of an "upscale" agency in the NY-NJ area with a good rep that uses selfies; the fact that the girls are super hot helps!
And I'll add a comment or two about "good" vs "bad" agencies. After a while, some girls want to move on and go indy. Good agencies don't stand in their way: they give them control of their own profiles, they let them have their own pictures to use. You might be surprised how such good will can have an impact on agency clients and new girls, just by word of mouth. A newbie looking to get started might be told ont he Newbie board, "I started out with PU and it was really good to learn the ropes. After a year, I went indy with no hard feelings. You can't go wrong with PU."
