Hello Raquel,
I hope a few gents here can give you more input. Overall, this board has become quiet in comparison to a few years ago. From what I see now, it's evolved more into a discussion board or members asking others about providers.
If I can offer advice as a provider. Please don't doubt yourself or your services. If someone does not want to see you because you have not been recommended here yet, then that will be their loss. Keep up your online presence and give the serious clients that are interested, your full attention. A little extra correspondence can go a long way in developing a nice rapport with someone. That speaks for itself. The rest should follow in time. You sound lovely.
Warm regards,
Erin
