[QUOTE="Murdoch, post: 495447, member: 24445"] Unfortunately you are now understanding the reality of how hard it is to establish yourself. Year 1 is about covering costs and earning beer money. My first year netted about £6500 profit. Luckily for me the misses has a decent job, we had cash set aside, and our mortgage company allowed us 1 year of interest only payments. The most effective marketing is turning up on time, doing the best job possible and don't argue with customers over a few pounds. Word of mouth is what you need. Looking back it was the end of my 3rd year when things got easier. I'm at the end of my 10th year being SE now and in shedding difficult clients ... Imho the trade sites can be a waste of money, as you are probably realise. Hope this helps [/QUOTE]
