Hi everyone

I was just about to go part time tiling to run aside my welding job (which i hated) and was going to use the money from my job to pay for advertising etc...

But now ive lost my job Grrrrrrrrrr and now have got no funds to help me with my tiling business, Ive ordered 250 business cards from vista (which was free) put a ad on gumtree which was also free.

Any other ideas on free advertising or anything that may help me get up and running would be much appreciated???
I have a van and tools just no god dam money to advertise...:mad2:

Thanks in advance guys.

Gumtree is free and proved fruitful for myself in the past then yell.com as said by others.
Thomson local allow a free listing so do bt directory enquires and finally 118 118 all the best
