Ratedpeople.com.. you can build up a rating, and buy leads locally if you want the work... and choose what work you want... from £12.00 a month + price of lead ;-)
I pay for a higher ranking on yell.com it has allowed me to up load 30 photos of my tiling and I get alot of work from it.....it cost me around £250 a year that includes a small add in the yellow pages and it pays for it self ten times over..
I also have a web site and a small add in the local parish magazine. ....This keeps me nice and busy. .
It works for me. .....you need to go to town on it. Upload photos of your work. Get customers to leave feed back. Link your website to it. Sets you appart from the rest. And paying for an add means you will be top of the page. ...
