    How to find website clients.

    This advice comes from Gary V - text everyone in your contacts: 'Do you know anyone that may need a website designed?' Follow up with a bit more of a personal message... 'I've just started my own company and would love to get some new clients...

    Google My Business and social media would be a great way to promote your business. I help a number of local businesses with their social media and have seen fantastic results. A local builder received 17 FB messages asking for quotes (loft conversions, double extensions etc) within the first...

    Suggestions Sought

    I realise this is an extremely old thread... but was wondering how the OP got on? Also, if you had 600 businesses signed up and needed to raise £20k, could you not sell something to the 600 businesses at just £33.33 each?

    Forum Plugin Advice

    I've set up a sports forum and would like articles, comments and ultimately, users to be rated... with either a 5 star rating or a points system - similar to this site. Could anyone recommend any plugins for this? Thanks!

    Social Media Followers / Emails Worth?

    @wevet - the plan isn't to sell on email details. We would email our own regular updates, which should be of interest to the people receiving them... and there would be the potential for businesses to have advertising on these emails.

    I'm currently looking in to a project, with the business model based on social media followers and email subscribers. I know the likely answer is 'how long is a piece of string' but does anyone have experience of what 50k, 100k, 250k likes/follows are worth in terms of selling...

    Going from 'One man band' to a bigger business

    If you haven't got the work to expand currently, why to you want to? Could you partner with another local one man band who has the work to expand? Or otherwise take steps to increase your client base. Do you leave cards with your clients that they could pass on? Do you post bus cards/...

    How Much Should I be paying?

    Not necessarily for the unemployed... I was thinking it would be more attractive for students or mums/dads that don't work and may have a few hours a day while kids are at school.
