Just a few quick ideas about cheap/free advertising.

make sure you tell your relatives who go to church....especially the big sprawling500+ member churches....word of mouth can spread quick in those.

Also naturally if you have kids or nephews etc tell em to spread the word at school....hook em up with a nice comp to play games on and their friends will spread the word for you.

One thing I have thought of but havent followed through with yet is printing up some decent flyers/brochures and placing them in hospital waiting rooms....like emergency rooms etc....I remember sitting in one with a broken collarbone over 5 hours once waiting to be seen....you can read a lot in 5 hours.

Also of course the local colleges are a prime place to do flyers etc.

Got friends who work at the local tire plant, steel mill, factory etc?? sure you do....find a way to get the word around there also...flyers etc.

Im sure there are a million other cheap ways to get the word out.

And there are a ton of good articles online that tell you everything to do step by step to be succesful...like how to write good advertisements etc.

I am trying to figure out the deal with licenses etc, I called the other day and where I live they aint gonna give you a license to sell out of your home, hehe...so maybe I will see about getting a license to do tech work...maybe I can still sell that way.
