Hello, I'm new to this site. Does anyone out there happen to have any tips for me when using the site? Also, could someone explain reviews to me, pretty please with a cherry on top?

First, read the self-help center (lifesaver icon).

Next, lurk here and on your regional board until you get a sense of how things flow.
Stay away from General, Politics & Religion, or Legal until you have some experience,
they will eat you alive

Clients of yours who are also TER members may want to write a revew of your time togather. They will complete a profile including your general description, contact info, and a list of services that you may offer based on their experience. Then they will write a freetext review of what happened on your date - the "juicy details" - that can only be viewed by VIP members (obtained by paying a fee or writing reviews).

Obviously, good reviews will build business for you. Once you have a few reviews and cultivate a posting history on one or more of these boards, you can gain access to the "providers only" area of TER where you can share a lot intel with other providers.

I'm sure others will add to this. Welcome, and good luck!

...could someone explain reviews to me, pretty please with a cherry on top? "

TER is primarily a review site for guys to find and research escorts. Once a guy has seen an escort he can write a review of his experience. The review will help others to see if the escort/provider offers what they desire, the level of service she provides, and establish she is not a scam artist/rip off/rob etc. Looking at a providers profile and a review will help you see what I mean.

Click on the "Reviews" tab at the top of the page. Go to the left and click on the "New Reviews" link (it's in teal colored font). Choose a country (United States) from the drop down menu then choose any city (your city if it's there). Click the big dark "submit" button. Look down the left of the page and click on any provider's name (they are in teal colored font). This will take you to the profile and reviews list of that provider. Because you are not a VIP member you won't be able to see the info specific to her but you will be able to see what kind of info is in a profile. Down at the bottom of the page are her reviews. The TER handle of the guy that saw her is there along with the date. Click on the "View" button on the left and you will be able to read the General Details of the guys experience. You won't be able to see the more specific details because of not being a VIP member. You will see "VIP only" whenever there is info not available to you.

Now click the link below to read my answer to another poster that wanted similar to what you have asked. And then do check out the Self-Help Center which is referenced in that reply.  

Welcome to TER. I hope this helps. Feel free to come back and ask questions here on the "Newbie" board

...decided to make you wait to see it. They are holding it for some reason and it will appear sometime in the near future. I hope it gets posted in time to be helpful.
