Good to hear your new to the game and trying your best mate. do you have a logo and a website. never thought o posting business cards though doors. might get myself a load of flers made

where do you buy your flyers from

Got my business cards from a local guy who works/has his own business, Vita Design. Everyone who I give the card to comments on how good they are. They are like a vinyl feel on both sides and not the cardboard ones you see so often.
Cost is £110 per 5000, you may get them cheaper but I was really happy with them. Loads of different designs.
Their website is www.vitadesign.co.uk

All the very best Tysfoot, it's been said before but if work doesn't come looking for you then go out there and find it. I didn't have the balls to go self employed, I was forced into it, (redundancy) but I wished I had done it years earlier!

I can beat the lot of you!..... I did 20 yrs in Royal Mail and in the end I just had to get out so I re trained myself and here I am! There is still a lot I don't know and much experience to be gained but with the help and support of these guys and girls on here we will be ok. I am very scared too but I know that if there's anything I am not sure of there is a wealth of good advice on here so well done Tysfoot and good luck to us all!

You want to make sure your website is ranking when people are searching for 'Tiler in Manchester' etc - luckily you have me and I optimised a couple of listings on FTT and that's ranking first lol.

If your website is ranking well you have a good chance of getting business through it.

Good luck m8 hope it all go's well for you i know theres lot of work out there & i hope it comes your way. :yes: I wish i had the bottle but i don't think i'm ready for that big step just yet.:25:

 

[burgie]

wish you the very best of luck - it's a huge step to take, but i am sure with determination and hardwork it will pay off for you!

nice one tys. In same boat m8, lost cleaning contract last year so thrust into it virtually full time. Jobs are slow coming in mainly friends and family but been walking the streets putting flyers out and got advert in local rag (just got phone call today from that one for a estimate) so bearing fruit hopefully after one week! I've hooked up with couple of tradesmen also so maybe something will come of that!! good luck from me

 

[tysfoot]

where do you get your flyers from. the ones i see on the net are expensive. i only need some cheap paper flyers

 

[tileform]

I used www.cheapleaflets.net

Cracking quality - got glossy ones for £140 for 10000
Think they do paper ones a lot cheaper
