What else can I do, design or otherwise, to market myself better? Thank you in advance for your input. My student_loans are making me poor, side work needed so i dont know what else I can do.I will reciprocate when queried myself...

Thank you, Bryant

When I started out I sold noodles and kids toys for a living and within 6 months of starting ejrs.com I became partner to 7 european/international software companies. What was my advertising plan. I spent a total of US$500 (altogether in 2 years) to promote myself (1000 Full color glossy business cards and full color letter heads and brochures). I gave them all out and got webmasters to link to my site totally free. Today get 15,000 visits per day at each of my 2 major sites. Small investment, big payoff. Also this helped a lot: http://www.hearandplay.com/at.cgi/216621/course.html

Hey Bryant a hot link might get more attention!

Try marketing in the County you live in. Use your county directory as a resource. Randomly pick a local business that you think might be a client, build a site (small) around that business and demonstrate it's value. In the final analysis business is personal, you got to get closer to the clients in the service sector.
Your site moves, but it’s cold, impersonal, it needs a puppy or some other warm body.
I like the ripples, but in blue, warmer, water, softer........ seeya... Just my 2¢

Good luck
Mark
