ehhh no.

I am having my sister work with me in selling web design to local businesses. We plan on spending a whole day just going to businesses next week. Do you think this will work out better? She is very pretty and already works in a bridal shop and outsells everyone. She has a pleasant...

I'm thinking about starting a website about my experience in the electrical trade and other trades. I will write detailed articles to help diyers. There are many DIY sites out there but they do not give in depth detailed instructions. I will give details with pictures. The problem is how to...

Sorry to rain on your parade but... I've seen thousands of signs on the side of the road on poles, in the grass, etc. You know how many that I remember what they are for? NONE. Get a hot chick in a bikini holding a sign now THAT i will remember!

I sent about 10 emails last night to contractors I found on craigslist that didn't have a website or a bad one. I emailed them through the ad on craigslist I got 0 responses back. I made my email sound like a real person not a marketer or robot. Title: Man you do excellent work! I have a...

Yeah i can't sell my tools they are like a man and his dog inseparable. Some people want estimates so I have to drive out to them and when they see me in a car I'm sure they think I'm half ass. Also I can't carry an extension ladder or conduit in a car. I am trying to save some money and...

Sounds good. The problem with this area is that their isn't a statewide license to do electric work. So I am competing with handymen and guys on craigslist claiming they are electricians because they installed a light fixture LOL! I put in years working for reputable electrical contractors...

There's always a dick in every bunch congrats on being one. Normal people plan things first. You can't just jump into offering services without having a payment method setup dumbass. I'm researching alternatives to paypal and will be taking checks over the phone most likely. Who said I...

Yes I have thought of that idea myself and the only thing holding me back is designing my own site to show examples. Also figuring out how to accept payments. I will NOT deal with Paypal at all. I had used them in the 90s and had an account for 8 years and the locked it.

Thank you for the input everyone. I decided I won't sell my tools even though I'm not making any money with them right now. I do have lots of time to dedicate to my online stuff and I also don't have to pay rent for another 8 months. So I have the time and some things on my side. I've...

I have hosting i just started 2 weeks ago I pay 5.95 a month for. I have started my wordpress website offering services such as website design, mobile websites, custom craigslist ads, custom videos. My main focus is to create custom craigslist ads (html,images) for contractors because I am a...

I'm an electrical contractor struggling to get by because I was forced to go out and start my own business. I barely make any money and I am broke as a joke. I didn't have the money to start the business with tools, truck and materials. So I do small jobs out of my car and I have some tools...

I see free website offers EVERYWHERE on the internet. Even lots of the hosting companies have a free web design utility same with the domain name companies.

I want to design websites along with other services for local businesses but read that web design is really saturated. I just don't want to waste my time if it's like that. If I can't pull in at least one design a week at $500 it's not worth it to me. So what kind of money are some of you...

I'm not attacking HG never used them just can't believe they can pay that out without making a dime for years. Reason being is I plan on designing websites and getting my customers to signup with them under my affiliate link (if i use them). So all of my customers most likely won't upgrade so...
