For those of you who have or have had a home-based repair business, what have you done to increase the number of customers? I have a start already, but so far I’ve been relying on word of mouth and a free website on Geocities. I get customers sometimes, but not enough to make this my full-time job. I do contract work for a tech focused temp agency, but I’d like to just do the repair business some day. I don’t think I’m ready to rent a space in a strip mall yet. I would probably need some sort of business licence and increased insurance first.
I’d like to keep it home-based for now but I wish I was a bit busier with it than the occasional job.
