How's the Business Going?
Terrible! ;)
I've been getting asked that question quite a bit, lately. Well, I operated for my first week from last Monday to yesterday and I made slightly more than $200. While most people would consider this low, I feel it is a good start. In fact, making any money at all in the first week of business is a very good thing. So I feel I'm heading in the right direction at least.
No, I can't live on $200 a week, but some of my new customers want to pass my information on to people they know who need work done. So, the "word of mouth" advertising has begun. As I build up my client base, they will tell more people about my work and I will get more business. That is my primary strategy for now: a little bit of traditional advertising followed by a lot of referrals.
So, really, it is going alright. In fact, I already did a short job this morning, I have another scheduled for tomorrow and one more for this weekend. I've barely begun this week and I have more lined up than I did a week ago. So, I hope to net more this week than last week. :)
