I have yet to have a review (or even an appointment). I've posted over on the Houston board and posted my site. I know gentlemen are weary of providers with no reviews, which I can understand. How do I break the ice and get business going?
If you are starting out as an indy girl, it may take you a little more time to get established. You might consider going through an agency to get a few appointments under your belt.
You might also try contacting some of the local ladies. They may be willng to share a little input. I'm sure you'll hear from some of the ladies here. They were all new at one point, and they will have good advice for you.
1) Take part on the General Discussion Board! You CAN NOT advertise there, but posing a good what-if question, or a pithy reply, with a link to your site, may help you get noticed.
2) Unfortunately, the Houston board isn't very "chatty", or I'd suggest you do the same there.
3) If you want to meet TER guys, you may want to give TER guys an incentive to see you. Some new gals offer a discount to verified TER members (guys willing to share there "real" TER id). This tactic is most effective if you are a VIP ($25 per month well spent) so you can see the reviews, or in other words, the hopes and expectations of your potential clients.
4) When you do have an appointment, and a few extra minute, introduce them to TER. But DO NOT allow them to log into TER on there ID, or create a new TER ID on your PC. TER can track such things, and it will smell of review fraud.
jazz, thank you for the feedback. I like the TER discount suggestion. I think I will do that along with vip. Unfortunately I HAVE noticed the Houston board is slow. I'm hoping that as I get some reviews under my belt to work in a little travel.
TER is a wonderful site and Review Board, but just because you finally get a couple of reviews here does not mean your business will start booming. Of course it will help, I just hope this is not the only place you are directing your efforts.
My advice would be to concentrate on your marketing. Check around your area and see what ad sites guys are likely to see your pictures and link to your website. There are plenty of good provider ad sites with high traffic, if the only place you are advertising is the Regional Board you will probably starve, LOL.
Also, you are an attractive lady, I would seriously consider checking around to find a good photographer that caters to providers and knows the type photos that will make the phone start ringing.
Once you start getting appts., the reviews will happen..
Thank you for your suggestions and compliment. I have been advertising outside of TER. I feel like I know TER pretty well since I spent a lot of time here researching before ever building a website or coming up with a stage name.
Are you friends with any other escorts? Or did you decide to escort on your own?
If you are friends with an escort (who is reviewed), a joint ad, or ad to do doubles with the other lady, would help to establish credibility (not LE). Unfortunately, it doesn't help to establish desirability (positive reviews).
Unfortunately it looks like your attempt to purchase VIP membership has failed due to your card being declined. Good news is that we have several other payment options that you could try.
