If I were you I recommend reading A LOT on this web site. I just visited your web site. It is obvious that you haven’t spent much time on here reading from people that do this for a living….this is nothing like running a construction company or a grocery store along with some of the other things you mentioned from your family past.

Not trying to bust your bubble but I don’t want to see you get off to a bad start. If your interested get with me via a private message and ill see if I can help.

Experiment with different ads and track what does best and pour more money into those. Take money away from ads that do not work. Read Guerrilla Marketing.
Advertising does pay so don't be afraid to spend $$$ on it. Just don't waste money on low performing ads.

make sure your pricing is right...too high can really scare people away...too low can make folks think your worthless!
