I'm new here and quite lost. Where do providers start?  I've only had one client so far and I was thinking of asking him to write me a review but I don't see that I have a profile or anything I can link to.

I've read the FAQs but if there is something there that tells me how to begin I've missed it. I feel stooopid!

Post on your regional ad board, respond to threads on your regional board.  Get your name out there.  Link your reviews to your handle.  PM me if you have questions.

There was a detailed post about this written by a handsome stranger and first posted back on December 27, 2009.  Click on the link below and you will be taken to it.

will be established by the first reviewer.  You can not be reviewed unless you have a web pressence; meaning either a website or an ad on a escort mall like Eros or Cityvibe.  Once your profile is set, the only way to change it is to file a Problem Report.  For example, "I'm districtpup and I am 5' 6" tall, not 6'."

The Self-Help Manual contains all the key information you will need.  If you offer good service for a reasonable price, you will be successful.

Thank you all sooooo much! This was all super super helpful. The lack of a profile (and thus a link to give out to my guy friend) was what confused me. Also although I don't have a website/ad posted yet, I didn't see where I can add it even if I did. I see I can add links to posts on the discussion board though so I guess that is what I should do until I get my first review.

You need a website or an ad ( an ad not on TER) that can be included in your profile by your first reviewer. Your website (when you get one) must have the TER logo.
The above I'm sure of.

I think the TER logo must link to TER. Not sure about this. You may have to have the TER logo in your ad. Not sure about that either.

I recommend you click on reviews at the top of the page and then click on New reviews. (No particular reason to click new reviews except I thought it would be the quickest since you're not interested an any particular review.) Enter a country and a state then search. Next click on any ladies name ( in blue font) and look at her profile to see what info is included there. This is what your first reviewer will have to fill out. The first thing is a link to your site or ad.

For much more info look at the Self-Help Center link at the top of this page on the right.

on a personal website must be a link to TER and be on the first or second page of the site.  An ad on an ad website does not have to have a link to TER, as far as I know.

I'm sorry to be a bother, I am new here, and noticed that someone else who was new had some of the same questions that I do, and you suggested posting on a "regional ad board"- where is this located? Is this a part of this site, or something different? Thank you for any help.

Pardon my butting in, but what do you mean when you say you need a site? Like, do girls have to go and buy themselves a domain name and have their very own website? or are there hosting sites that do all of that for you? Thats what confuses me....
