and still no reviews. I've had many appointments
but the hobbyist I've seen do not write reviews.
I've been all over the discussion boards and have
posted my weekly ads. What am I doing wrong or not
doing? Most hobbyist will not see or give a provider
the time of day without any reviews. I'm not LE and
I know what I'm doing in the bedroom. Can someone
please give me some advice of some kind?

This is how I started.

If you have some clients that you have a good rapport with, you would think that some of them would join TER and write a review for you if they knew how important it was to your livlihood.

All I can suggest is that you continue to market yourself on TER and meet people here so that some TER member will write a review of you.

By the way, do you have a site with a TER logo on it?

If so, link to it every time you post.

Don't waste any opportunity to blow your horn, so to speak.

Best of luck.

Sixx, it doesn't sound like you have done anything wrong so far.  Have you been asking them to write them?  Strange as it seems, there are a lot of hobbyists out there that are totally unaware of TER.

After session is over is when to ask them.  If they are TER members, you could offer a whitelist referral if the review is a good one.

Good luck,
Swim

Lots of review writers show up at the Vegas M&G's. Put in some time and I'll bet you get reviewed shortly after.

A whitelist is NOT a reward for a positive review!

It is nothing more or less than an easy way to tell other providers "he was clean, respectful, the envelope was right, and he didn't arrest me".

Do it or not, but DON'T use it as a tool to extort positive reviews.

Christ...

Thank you all for your replies. I will keep up the
posts and I will be at the next M&G.

I don’t know if this will make you feel any better, but what I found out was the Extremely low percentage of reviews actually being written.

Here is what I found. (a quick summary)

For my total access of active providers listed on TER in my area codes, are approx. 96 on any given day.

Some working part time, some full time, and some doing overtime.

Taking an average of 1 1/2 sessions per day. Times 96 providers = 144 sessions a day.
Times 26 days a month = 3,744 sessions per month.
Times 12 month = 44,928 sessions a year.

The providers listed on TER in my area codes average about 6.4 reviews a year. (Some with 1, some with over 25)

Taking 96 providers times 6.4 reviews = 614.4 written reviews. Dividing 614.4 by the number of total sessions 44,928 = 1.36 percent

For all the sessions being preformed only 1.36 percent is actually being written up in reviews.

So with this kind of percentages, It will be hard to get reviews written.

I used a whole year to get a better average. And there are a lot of variably factors that can change the percentage But I was only looking for an approximation to see how accurate the review system is working.
The actual reviews are good, It just we don’t write enough of them to get a better picture.

I think the guys can do I lot better!

I think you'll find this may just do the trick for you. Your experience is not that uncommon with new escorts. With the economy the way it is, many clients want a sure thing. And even though the hobby is supposed to be a sure thing, it's not always that way for clients. Good luck

Sixx, It is all about marketing.  The suggestion to attend the next M & G in Vegas should do wonders for those guys who are in doubt as to see you or not.  Patience is a virtue you must have to get started in this biz.

You are doing the right things by posting ads and making posts on the boards about the various topics.  One suggestion, I found those flashing pics on your web site to be distracting.

Good luck.
