I haven't mastered navigating around the site yet. I'm not really sure how you see the community or I how you make yourself seen to the community
Read some of the forum threads and get an education! And, welcome!!
Since you are a pending pro, you should go to the Professionals forum for advice. Other people will see you when they do a search in your area or if you post to the forums. Having a friendly profile will help. If you charge more than most other pros in your area, you will limit your customers.
@lifeisbuttdream just remember: you can’t start charging until you are actually a pro. You have to wait until they finalize it.
