I'd agree, but maybe a slightly larger discount, making it clear that it's a one-time deal for first-time clients. I think that's a good practice for ANYONE trying to get into the business, BTW - the value of a positive review and perhaps a long-term repeat client greatly exceed a modest discount. I'd suggest $50/hr off your base rates.

I also agree that TER VIP status is well worth the expense for being able to communicate through PM's with other TER VIP's.

The only Aurelia I found at all on TER reviews was in Philly with no reviews since 2006.

I wouldn't necessarily say that TER is "not popular" in the Bay Area, it's just that there are competing local resources.  I still maintain my TER presence both to have alternatives, AND to have a great resource when traveling.  (The localized resources do NOTHING for me when I'm out of the area!)

Occasional advertising is allowed on the San Francisco board.

I forget, a provider is allowed to advertise either once a week or once a month.  Check with Puck, our fearless moderator.

As EXAMPLE, I might be allowed to "shill" here a bit by posting Aurelia's link and perhaps a pic.  (OK, not REALLY shilling - don't know Aurelia personally...)

Note that once any of y'all get some reviews (assuming they're good or at least decent reviews) it's a "good thing" to have the review link posted!

Personally, I LOVE to see bay area babes active here on TER - don't have any particular bias about "her" being on this website vs that website - as long as I can hook up with amazing babes.  (Wheee...)
