You're not very good at posting to Usenet. Both you and Dustin should
learn how to snip.

Things dont work like that. I give out over a thousand business cards a
year, and if it generated a hundred jobs, i would be exceptionally pleased.
I generally do about 750 jobs a year.

Advertising works. It would be best to think of sector that you are less
familiar with, for example, if you needed to get your vehicle serviced, or
need a locksmith, like most people you would be drawn in by an advert.
Yellow Pages, here in the UK is key to such advertising.

Again, it is about a sector you are familiar with. When i first started, the
Yellow Pages and the phone book (BT here) were, without doubt the major
source of new leads.

I now have a large pool of repeat customers, but it has took five years of
very heavy advertising to get to this stage.

That word of mouth is not enough, *heavy* advertising is often needed to
make the job pay full time.
