with everything he just said. Great advice and discussions going on here, as well as some eye opening topics and behaviors to witness. Also, that handle may or may not fit your sense of humor or personality (if you're very sarcastic, etc) but some gentlemen may be off put by its brashness or judge too swiftly. Good luck and enjoy your time here. We all love it.

Hello and welcome!
My advice is to participate on the boards, post you ads on the regional boards every seven days and provide stellar service ALWAYS so you can start getting great reviews..it is also important once you start growing your clientele (and maybe even now) to get pictures taken, my personal recommendation is to get professional shots although they can be a bit pricey, you should also consider a website, some are free some others cost more but they will provide you with a better presence. My most important advice is Safety, you may need to get an assistant in order to screen your clients (it is hard to do it by yourself if you are brand new), I will be glad to talk to you privately if you need more guidance.
Good luck and be safe
This was the first place I came when I started out, and I cannot even begin to articulate how invaluable the advice I've received here has been. I am forever indebted to these lovely people.
Oh, and definitely take London up on her offer. She is easily one of the most knowledgable women in the business, and has been absolutely incredible to me from day 1.
Best of luck!
