So, I decided to advertise on Craigslist, Google AdWords, radio and on Facebook… The result… I’m getting more work than I can almost handle working this business 3 days a week!
In the last 4 days I have booked 3 commercial accounts (two credit union locations) and 5 residential. One customer has 2 homes…a lake home and one for guests… And one customer booked two services …
This is a really good problem to have. I’ve been saving money up like crazy and it looks like I just might be way ahead of my goal of going full time in this business!
The lesson… Don’t be afraid to spend some money to advertise… It’s already paid for itself big time! I’m a happy guy right now!
Dude amazing. I am doing this part time until I can, like you, go full time into it. And I bet it has helped huge! I haven’t advertised myself and it’s already good. Im afraid to advertise until i finish my home office. I can only imagine advertising on that many platforms. Right on dude! Right f’n on!!!
By far the most successful ad campaign has been Google… I’m not planning any more Facebook ads…I think Google is the way to go… I’ve gotten a couple off Craigslist, but it’s free, so I’ll keep putting professional looking ads there as well… But I’m sold on Google adwords. It drives people to the website!
Could you perhaps show me the Web page that works for you? I’m a cleaner in the UK and at the stages where a website might help me. Just wondering what works.
I decided to give Responsibid a try as well… And while I was writing this post, I got my first customer generated estimate on there! They want to book w services… And he’s already given me a positive review lol…
Looks like I’ll be taking a sick day from the full time job next week… He’s hoping to have it done by the 3rd because apparently my competition was a no call no show!
BOOM… Getting business is like a drug…I want more! Haha!
