You won't have an ID# until a client posts a review of you.  You don't need that to post ads.  You do need either a personal website, or a link to one of your ads on another site.  You post ads on your regional ad board.  There is a section in the Self help manual that covers rules for posting ads.  I suggest you read that thoroughly, the whole manual.  The link is right under the life preserver at the top of this page.

If you have any questions, feel free to PM me.  Once you have 3 reviews, you can request to join the Providers' only board.  Once you have any reviews, you should ask for limited VIP membership and to have your reviews linked to your handle.  With the limited VIP, you can read all the info in your reviews.  Having them linked to your handle makes it easier for guys to read them.

I also suggest you start posting on your regional board, to get your name out there.
