Hi there I've been provider for 5 plus years last few years Ben extra slow. I also advertise on some sites  too, and the clients either  don't show up or say they will , and won't,  I do this part Time but  the head games are getting  old.im running out of optio6to advertise too. Any suggestions?.

This sort of Q also shows up on the Newbie Board. Read some recent threads there, too.  E.g., post to the Photo Only board; post to your regional Buzz Board (buzz is TER's new buzzword for ad).  
.
Do you remember your former Profile name and TER Profile ID number? You might have to prove to TER that the new you is the old you. Is the old email still active? Is the old phone  number still active?

I'm so confused. How are you not booking dates on TER?  If you have a website why is it not linked to your profile with TER reviews? I get bookings off TER more, than any other paid advertising sites. I get more traffic to my website from TER, than any other website. Why are you not booking dates here?

Get reviews & get bookings. Are you posting from an alias? I just don't understand how anyone who has been a provider for 5 years doesn't know how to use TER to their advantage. Post on the photo board, post on the buzz boards & other GB to make new friends.  Get reviews.

If your clients are playing you with head games cancel them. Rebrand. Invest in yourself. Pay for professional pictures. Create a website. What are you doing to build yourself?

I consider myself an OG of the industry. One young provider referred to me as a dinosaur. There's a old quote I learned from the provider who introduced me to this wonderful industry... "Hoe money is slow money, but it's for sure money!"

If you're getting flaked on require a deposit to book. I have required a deposit to book, since 2010 and I never have my time wasted. You get respectful clientele when you set your standards higher. What are you doing to change?

Save your money honey because it's not always busy in this business. Regulars are your bread and butter babe. Treat your customers right, or fire them and get better clients that you enjoy entertaining.

 Where are your TER reviews, pro pics, and website?

It's impossible to give you any substantive advice without knowing that basic info.

I think people are skeptical after a rocky 4 years and are strapping down the hatches in a way to prepare for an eventual recession.

Not sure what segment of the market you target with your ads or what things are like in the area you typically see anyone but just going off your post here you might consider how well you are presenting yourself to others. If your ads are as poorly written as the post was then I suspect many of the more affluent potential customers reading will simply move on to someone else. If your communications with them are similar, that might also result is some making initial contact and express interest in an appointment but then change their minds.

 
So perhaps work on presentation and professionalism and see what happens.

END OF MESSAGE

you have done this for years???

Everyone who wonders what’s changing in the economy should read the following:
(1). The 2028 Global Intelligence Crisis by Crimini Research;
(2).  Read the news on the SCOTUS slap down of the Liberation Day Trump Tariff’s, and his follow up with the 150-day 15 percent tariffs;
and  
(3).  Generally keep up with what’s happening in Iran / Israel / Middle East.

Any one of these things is cause for concern.  All 3 are new, unsettling developments.  

The Crimini Report projects white collar incomes and employment are hit hard, with downstream defaults in mortgages, private credit, and insurance / annuities.  This is the most unsettling; as the report indicates, “there is no brake” to stop the bloodshed.

It's Citrini, Moron!  Crimini is a mushroom 😂

Given the OP was talking about the past few years, that is SOME leading indicator you got there.
