Today, I went door to door to hand out business cards and get some business. I figure that most of us are a bit lazy about taking our stuff in for repair. So, if somebody comes in and offers to fix something, it’s not a big deal to hire on the spot. It worked. Within my first ten stops, I got a quick job setting up a wireless router and DSL modem that had stopped working. I was able to get the computer and the router talking to each other. Tomorrow, I’ve got to talk to AT&T technical support to set up the DSL connection again.
I think this approach to getting work is preferable than simply putting out ads. We’ll see in the long-run if this pays off.
