Check A Trade

[Qwerty]

At the moment I'm putting in crazy hours and also subbying out. See what time I wrote my last post!
That is only short term until I take on extra hands! I am fortunate with the amount of enquiries coming in that I can cherry pick the jobs to suit me for profit, distance travelled, ease and satisfaction. Arrogant some may think, but a necessary short term sacrifice for long term gain.

Alot of people are happy to wait 6 months for me. Is it the area I live, my customer service or my work......I don't really know, but I do know of others that are in the same boat.

All these sites are a way of reaching an interested customer but at the end of the day it's up to you to convert the leads into contracts.

Called yell.com. my brother sign up for a year. Min amount to promote his web page. £800 a year. Put all his eggs in one basket and he's not had one job where they have said they found him from yell. It's all mine field.

I'm on checkatrade and I have been for around 4 months now, I've already made back 10x more than the sign up and I have found some good companies to do regular business with. I start a 190m2 floor and 40m2 wall job on the 25th which is from checkatrade, a company that build huf houses so hopefully further work will follow!

Was a very good move to make in advertising for me I also get a call every 6-8 weeks from checkatrade asking how it's going and advising me on captions to add into my profile to appear on Google searches more. Also since joining my website traffic has increased and enquiries submitted from my website have increased a great deal, I assume this is from being found on Google more!
