Since no ladies seem to want to offer advice...

Go on your local ad board , put up pics , create a website.Go on your local discussion board (& neighboring states ) along with  all the other ter boards make comments to others threads( be sure to link your webpage in the url @ the bottom),Ter allows this .Beyond that any suggestions I make you will need to PM me .

I assume that by now you've already weighed all the pros and cons and have decided that this profession may be something that could work for you. Taking the first step is not easy alone, so good that you came on board to ask for help. Also, You may wish to buy a VIP membership, at least for a month so you can have full access to TER including Private messaging with other members.
FYI - I had an ATF many years ago who told me she started out "under-the-wing" of an older semi-retired provider who was going UTR. So maybe there is a local lady who can help you learn the basics?  Good luck and Welcome to TER.

All of that other stuff won't do much good if you don't know the guys contacting you are safe. If you have VIP, feel free to PM me or you can email me directly at [email protected]

...her offer to help you out. Listen to her advice.

So the most obvious is to go to work for a reputable agency. They will train you and handle the difficult part of obtaining screened clients. Once you have a handle on things, you can go indy.  

One way to go indy when you are experienced is to get vetted for some M&G in your area and attend. Find out if there are local boards. If so, those can be the gateway to getting into a local community, if one exists. (they do in many areas)

Some sex workers start their careers by stripping, then offer extra services in VIP. Some will work in massage parlors. Some just put an ad up on BP and dive in solo head first.

You could always find out where the 'track' is in your area and go stand around in a sexy outfit. Some nice man will certainly notice you, introduce himself, and offer to  help you launch your new career
