I've been posting on craigslist and backpage in my local city for the past year. I must say that I've been getting a lot of good service calls and have made a decent amount of money. However, being that the summer have started, the calls have started dropping to absolutely none! I assume it will get better around school time and winter when people are inside more, but I'd like some advice.
Where else should I advertise? I thought about running a google adwords campaign as well as get some facebook ads, but I'm not sure how many people actually participates in ads on google/fb. Is it worth starting this off with a low budget?
I personally feel as though my CL advertisement is better than everyone else's as they just seem like they're looking for a quick buck with no certifications like I do, no creative and professional website like I do, less experience and charging more.
I thought about posting flyers by some red lights, but who can I get in touch with to make sure this is legal and my sign won't get trashed by the garbage company? I have business cards that I give to my clients and have got some word of mouth, but as I said, it's really been slowing down lately and I'd just like to pick up again on my side income.
Also, the work that I do is all IT. Hope I didn't post in the wrong forum.. Thanks for any help. I'd also like to mention that the site that I advertise is not the one I'm trying to do SEO with - its all static joomla content with prices, services, etc. I actually have a blog that I'm working on (which is completely separate from my question and point).
