Randall Twehous: yellowpages is good for unusual jobs.also try outdoor posters near the places that need you (walmart? home depot?)
Cassidy Pangrazio: Be careful about working without a license, insurance or corporation. Without these things your personal assets can be held liable for anything that may happen in your customer's home.This being said, many publications will not allow you to advertise without your license # because it is illegal in many states to not have it on your publications. I would try grassroots marketing like putting flyers around the neighborhood or going to local networking groups. I would also speak with local companies who might be interested in outsourcing your skills under their license and insurance....Show more
Brenton Cornwall: I will tell you what i have done, i have 2 business's , i made postcards on the internet, for my business and advertised it on the postcard, and then got into a yellowbook or phone book and sent it to e! veryone in there. I know u think well thats not going to work, but you will be surprised @ how many people do respond to your postcard . Just keep track of everyone you have already sent it to, and do surrounding areas. Then another thing i did , was called alot of business and got their fax number, i made a flyer & faxed it to everyone within a 60 mile radus. i have been self employed , by word of mouth now, at first it was the cards & flyers, and i make a really good living w/my business and its not much expense if you do it ur self. What ever ur selling or can do, if its a good product or u do quality work. Ur advertising by word of mouth by clients will make ur business grow... trust me it works!!!! good luck...Show more
