Reading good books on the subject also helps. Focus your attention on the things that you like most. If you want to try out something like a flogger on a sub try it on yourself first, or have someone else try it out on you, so that you have an idea of what you will be putting her through. Learn basic first aid and study up on the safety of each act that you might want to try. As a Domme I read, interviewed people, and attended munches for a year before trying a session. I was never asked by the men how long I had been a Domme and they just assumed from my confidence and experience that I had been at it for a long time. One main focus for a new Dom is not to be wishy washy. I am now a slave, and one of my tasks is to train a new Dom. He will say things like, "if you want", or "if you feel like it". I will tell him that I need a command before I will follow it. Remember that gaining someone's trust takes time and they need to know that you care for them to some extent even if you are meeting for only one session. Romance doesn't need to be involved, but caring enough for them to make sure that they are safe and get some fulfillment from the session does. Being inexperienced don't forget to talk about safe words. The first thing I would do during a session is to have my sub strip and do a physical examination of them looking for any bruises or cuts. I would ask them to tell me if they had any ailments that I should know about, and review the safe words with them. (I used yellow light and red light for ease of remembering.) Any toy that was new to them I would explain and tell them that they only got the explanation once so they needed to pay close attention. I would review with them what they had told me that they wanted from a session, tell them ideas that I had on top of that, and make sure that they were comfortable. You can drop some of these things once you become more experienced but it is a good way to start.
