...As a provider, you cannot review other providers.  Once you receive a review, you can receive free limited VIP which allows you to use the TER mail system (PM).  You will also be able to read the Juicy Details of your own reviews, but not of other reviews.  If you want more than the free limited VIP, you will have to pay for membership.  However, members are allowed to transfer VIP days from their accounts to the accounts of other members.  Maybe some generous man or woman will gift some VIP days to you after you receive your TER ID.

2.  You will get a TER ID number after you receive your first review.  There is no other way to get an ID number.  You should post an ad every seven days on your local regional ad board.  You should also participate in your local discussion board if you have something meaningful to contribute.

3.  If you reply to any posts in this thread, you are allowed to link your ad or website.  As a newbie, you should take advantage of that rule.

Until you get your first review, hence Profile and, after you request it, FREE limited VIP, you might want to consider paying for FULL VIP. Using anonymous gift cards, it's around $40 for 34 days. (You buy a GC at a brick and mortar store using cash = anonymously and use that to pay for VIP.  That will give you access to PM (Private Message, full reviews, full search capability, etc.).  If things go well, you'll have a Profile and FREE VIP in the first month and not have to renew. Or you can continue paid VIP as desired.

Perfectstorm had a typo = PHOTO ONLY board. The Photo Only Board and the Local Ad Boards (there is one for Austin) have different rules.  Read the rules, follow the examples of the posted ads and photos and ask questions here if anything isn't clear.

I looked at your website and it already has a TER logo on the main page. That is one of the requirements for posting a website link on the ad board, so you're all set as far as that is concerned.

Good luck! Be safe! Have fun!

Why do I think of Japanese swords when I hear Katana?

once you get a TER ID send me a PM and I will gift you 30 VIP days.

members (hobbyists or providers) are moderated. This means your posts may take a little while before they appear. Once you are considered a safe and viable poster, you posts will go up immediately.

Before someone reviewed me. TER was hard for me at first to get used to. I had a nice client and asked him if we would review me. He didn't have any prior reviews which doesn't hold much clout here come to find out. But even a year later he saw me for a 2nd time so guess that's good lol. Just be patient if you mesh well with someone have them review you after your date if course. A client with alot pf reviews is better than one with none.  I posted on several other sites and on CL OFTEN. I used the public/local boards (can't get onto provider boards until you have posted alot and have multiple reviews) alot of people talked so much shit to me for being new and asking genuine questions I didn't know. You will probably be told your posting ThreAds when all you're trying to do is understand the damn site lol. But once you learn it , it's a great tool. I would look into p411 also bc you can be verified and verify which is huge and very important for your safety. I use both sites in conjunction to help screen my clients.  
Post everyday on the photo board. Use a great selfie or a professional shot and go to imagecoast to get a link to post. Do this everyday with different shots. Post 1 a week in the local board and let your personality shine through.  

Most of all,have fun and stay clear of the drama. You will get a feel for which posters crave it and who to avoid. Personally, I look at board post history as well when considering someone, you can tell alot by how they interact on here. Same goes for you, remember your persona you want to create. Good luck!!!!!

*Oh and the VIP is worth it at first to be  to navigate the site fully.
