I generally don't advertise, I wait and see who is looking in /ooc, and I then send them a tell. I port those who are needing it for a CR, and those under level 20 for free, and refuse to accept a donation from them, even if offered. When I am porting and/or available for a port, I take off my /roleplay tag, so people can see that I'm a druid. I often get random tells.
As far as income: I get anywhere from 10 to 100 per port, per person. I NEVER tell people a price. I also have been stiffed from time to time. Sometimes its the person telling me up front they have no money (I'm ok with that. I've been there myself) Sometimes they let me port them and then just run off and say thanks. (That's just rude). The average amount of the tip is between 40 and 50 plat, although it depends on the area and the time of day.
During peak hours, less need for porters, and there are lots advertising their services. I often go /roleplay and go get xp during that time, and/or camp something. During non-peak hours, its not uncommon to earn 500pp per hour or so, depending on how long I can play.
