Hey ya'll, I'm a little new to being a provider, but am finding lots of success pretty quickly.  My friend who is also a provider suggested I get on TER, but I'm baffled by the site-  

I've read faqs, posting rules, and actual posts by providers and am still a little confused for how stuff works:

1.  How can I find reviewers on here to provide reviews for me?  
2.  At what point, and under what procedures, may I post an ad seeking reviewers and other hobbyists?  
3.  Are the recommended sites for building a web page for linking potential hobbyists to?
4.  Any other feedback would be appreciated.  I'm tired of backpage.  I deserve more, you know?

To answer your first question, this place is loaded with reviewers, that's what we do after spending time with you.  The guidelines for posting reviews are in the self help center.  If, after reading it, you still need help, come back here and ask.  You must follow the guidelines for ad posting or your ad will not be accepted.

I also suggest you start posting on your regional board so guys can see what your personality is like.  At first, you will be moderated by admin so your posts will not appear right away.  After you have posted a sufficient number of times and have demonstrated that you can follow the posting rules, you can ask to be un-moderated.  Then your posts will appear as soon as you submit them.

 
Good luck,

wimtrekr gave you good advice I have simply embellished it some.
 
Everyone when they join TER is a basic member. There is no "Provider" membership, provider page, etc. The way to let others know you are a provider is to post ads on your regional ad boards, post comments on your regional discussion board (Be sure these posts don't come across as ads. They will be disallowed.), and participate in the photo theme threads on your regional board. As the previous poster said check out the Self-Help Center for the guidelines for posting ads and how to post photos in the photo theme threads. The Self-Help Center link is on the upper right of most of the discussion boards under the red and white life preserver. Read everything there even the stuff for the guys. It's good to know all you can.  
 
You can pay for a VIP membership. It will give you full access to all TER has to offer but it won't distinguish you from any other member. The things I mentioned above and the link spoken about in the next paragraph will do that.  
   
Once a guy has seen you, written a review of you, submitted it to TER, and it's been approved and posted you will have a provider profile page. Your first reviewer will create your profile when he fills out your information. You will then have a TER provider ID number. (You can contact TER and correct anything the guy got wrong or didn’t know.) Next step for you then is to contact TER and request they connect your profile with your TER handle (mina000hartt). Contact them using the e-mail you signed up with. Their address is [email protected]. This will give you the free limited provider VIP membership. It will also give you access to the TER PM (private mail) system and allow you to read your reviews in there entirety. It will also place a link which says "See my TER reviews" under your handle whenever you post on a TER board. Guys can click the link and be taken to your profile page and check you out. The provider VIP will also give you access to the provider functions on TER such as being able to white list clients.  There is a Provider's only discussion board. You have to have 3 reviews and establish yourself on the boards then request that TER give you access to it.

To your first question: You have found reviewers by joining TER. Use the info I gave you in the first paragraph above to let guys know you are open for business.
Your second question is answered above.
Do a search on this board "Newbie" board (aka FAQ's for Newbies) to find all the recommendations for getting/building a web site. Look for the large "Search" button on the right next to the New Thread and Top 10 posters button.
Read back several pages here on the Newbie board for more answers. Maybe even something you haven't thought of.
 
Good Luck, Welcome to TER
