Getting out of the rat race and running it alone...
I run a fairly successful web design company, part time, building high quality sites for various businesses - mostly though word of mouth contacts. Now is the time for me to take it to the next level - quit my full time job and build websites from home.
I know the market is crowded but I think I can find a niche and having worked for one of the most profitable websites in the world for the last two years I think I have a decent product and knowledge to sell.
There are lots of people on here who run their own small businesses and are very successful - but I'm still finding it hard to make the step from word-of-mouth contacts to potential clients finding me for themselves. Does anyone have any tips on marketing to local businesses? Or recommendations to make this startup successful? (maybe it's asking too many trade secrets!)
