Hi Amy,
You register for free as a provider (
Provider sign up)
Then hobbyists can leave reviews if they know your TER ID#.
Once registered, you can access the discussion board for all the info about how TER works.
The info below is from TER discussion board thread
Newbie FAQ:
HOW TO REQUEST TO BE UPGRADED TO PROVIDER VIPThe first step to a provider taking advantage of complimentary limited provider VIP is the provider requesting that her username be linked to her review profile. You can check to see if this has already been done by looking at one of your messages posted on this board. Look for a link that says "See my TER reviews" just under the subject line and to the right of your username. If it's already there, then you're linked. If it's not, click on "Contact Us" in the upper right corner of the page and request to have your reviews linked to your user name. Please make sure to include your provider ID number or a direct link to your review profile in the message. Alternatively, if you cannot locate your profile ID number, you can include the contact information that is listed in your TER review profile, such as your phone number, email address, or website.
Free, limited "Provider" VIP access is available to all providers who have reviews on TER. All you need is a username and to request that your username be linked to your reviews.
This limited VIP:
1. Never expires.
2. Allows the provider to use the TER Mail / Personal Messaging (PM) system as if they were a paid VIP member.
3. Read the "juicy details" of her own reviews (but not of other reviews).
Once you are upgraded your TER Profile is automatically linked to every message you submit on the discussion boards, making it easy for guys to find your reviews.
Hope that helps, even though their info is a bit vague...
Have a nice night!
