TER was closed to USA users from April 2018 to Dec 2019. They are open now so you can definitely post ads in the US now. If Chicago is now your home area you can post ads on the Chicago ad board once every 7 days. If you are touring other areas, you can also post ads on the ad boards for those cities, but you must put your tour dates in the subject line.
To get more exposure you can post photos on the photo only board, and you can join in discussions on the regional and general discussion boards.
I’ll link the provider ad posting guidelines below. Please read them before posting your ad. I recommend reading the Self Help Guide, also called the newbie manual, or TER instruction manual. It’s the pinned post on the top of this page.
Ads are free on TER, and you don’t need to be a paid member to post on the ad boards or discussion boards. Since you have already linked your review profile to your username, you now have the Limited Provider VIP. This allows you to send and receive PMs and allows you to read the juicy details of your own reviews. If you do decide to pay for VIP, it will give you full access to all reviews which means you can read the juicy details of other reviews and can use search features unavailable to standard members.
You are also able to make changes to your profile. You can do this by sending in a problem report for simple changes or using the “contact us” button for complex changes or to make many changes at once. I notice your home city says Pasadena but you say you are now in Chicago, and your P411 profile says Chicago. You might want to change that in your TER review profile (unless you are just visiting Chicago). Also there are many catagories that say “don’t know” on your profile, because the person who wrote your first review (which sets your profile) didn’t know the answers. You are able to change those and fill them in correctly now if you want.
If you have more questions, always feel free to come back to the newbie board and ask. Good luck.
Your photos have to be on a photo hosting site such as imagecoast.com . Look at the photos on the photo only board and you will see some of them have imagecoast.com or some other site on them . Putting them on a site like that gives them a URL, copy/paste the URL into the box labeled Picture URL at the very bottom of the posting form (window) when you post an ad, or on the photo only board. Your photo will show every time someone opens your post to read it.
xyz gave you good info on how to post a photo. Additionally I wanted to add that you can only post a photo on the photo only board, or with your ad on an ad board. When you are posting on regular threads on discussion boards do not add a photo to it. TER doesn’t allow that.
To answer your other question, the reason you can’t add a link to the pd site is that it is also a review site. TER does not allow links to any site that has reviews. In fact they don’t even like you mentioning other review sites in discussion board posts.
P411 profiles used to be allowed to be linked to your posts. However TER doesn’t allow links to sites that are not public (ie you have to log in to see it) and while p411 profiles used to be available to the public, they are now all private. That is probably the reason you can still link it to the review profile but not as a link in your ad. I think I suggested you use your p411 link in a post to you the other day. I didn’t realize they were being rejected now. Perhaps admin can jump in and state if this is the reason, or correct me if I’m wrong and provide the reason you weren’t able to attach the p411 link.
You should be able to link your Slixa ad to your posts. I know you said you move around a lot and that’s clear by looking at your profile. Your first 2 reviews are from Pasadena, CA, your Slixa ad is from Seattle, WA, and your P411 profile shows your location as Chicago (plus you told us you were in Chicago in your first newbie board post). Because of this, you might want to get your Slixa ad location changed to Chicago. You can also run ads on other ad malls and try to link one of those. Just make sure the ad mall does not also have reviews if you want to link it on TER.
As to a personal website, a few years ago there were a lot of escort friendly website hosts, and even easy cookie cutter templates so a beginner could quickly make her own website and have it hosted. However, after FOSTA/SESTA, a lot of those got shutdown. Hopefully a current provider or someone with more website making knowledge than me, can jump in to this thread and help you out.
