Re: One suggestion would be to stop posting in all CAPS. It's considered rude and shouting.

And your response is a little sarcastic for someone looking for help.

The first one is compliments of Buffalo Ciara,
once, you log, look for MY PHD.  

The second is www.myhoneysuckle.com

Hope this helps

Re: The site is geared towards the Hobbyist. However, if you think about it, the best way

to be successful is to know your customer.  If you read everything in the manual from the perspective of a Provider, you would see that the information could be invaluable to you because it includes an inherent POV of what is expected from a good provider.

Also, there are sections that are directly related to Providers and agencies.

To give you an idea, I've included a brief summary of how each section would be of benefit to the provider:

What is an agency profile and how to get one
     Self explanatory as to how it relates to providers


Definitions, Acronyms, Abbreviations, and Terms
      When you post an ad on the boards or receive responses to the ads, this section will help you decipher any Acronyms


Discussion Board Guidelines
       You will need to know these to effectively market yourself on these boards

Tips for Searching TER Profiles and Reviews
       If you want to know what the other providers in your area are offering, this section will help immensely.

INFO & POLICIES - REVIEW FAQ
      When you start receiving reviews, or when your clients discuss whether or not they reviewed and if they were approved, this section is very valuable to understand the whole process.


Getting your Website TER Reviewed
      To advertise on TER, and to receive reviews, you will need a website.  This section is obvious in its helpfulness.


STD Information:1 and STD Information:2
      Stay safe.  For your sake and the client's.  Again, obvious in its helpfulness.


Newbie Tips
      You are a Newbie to this site if not the hobby.  Newbie hobbyists will ultimately be seeing you.  Wouldn't you want to know this information?


Some Info for Providers
      Can't get more relevant than this.


The Newbie Primer
      The information in here cuts across all levels of experience, and is an insight into the veteran hobbyists POV and expectations.  IMHO, you would want to know this.

De-Listed/Banned Provider Info?
      Good to know so that you can avoid.

New!!!  Provider Relations 101:
Contacting A Provider
Getting ready for your appointment
Your Outcall Appointment
GFE vs PSE
The Cover
Playing Safe
Cleaning Your Internet & Cell Phone Tracks
More Hobby Do's and Don'ts
(trust me if you do the do's don't do the don't you are on the right track!)
       All of these above sections were written either by experienced providers or with their input.  Wouldn't you want to know what those ladies were expecting from their clients so that you can adjust your own expectations?


So, as you can see - mrfisher actually DID give you some GOOD suggestions.  Be gracious.

Good luck

Red face used to get your attention, not in anger.
