[QUOTE="davetheglitz, post: 488438, member: 173"] I've retired now - but my work was mainly domestic. I struggled to start with (tried Trusted Trader - what a crock of s*** that is!) but it took off when I changed my style of advertising. Initially my advert was all about the brand - professionally produced, artistic and as good as any up market company ever. I was in Yellow pages (yes that long ago) and the only people who ever contacted me were youngsters looking for an apprenticeship. I changed my advert so it looked like it had been produced on a 1980's home computer. I didn't mention the company name in highlight - just the fact that I'm a highly qualified electrician who would do any job. Great results. Everything built from there with recommends from that point on. Cut my advertising costs big style and had good responses. Once you get things moving you are the advert - not your van or professionally produced half page advert of self promotion. Keep within budgets - buy budget tools if they are good enough - look after your little old ladies (LOL) and you will make a living. Hope all works out for you. [/QUOTE]
