    Top tip Paddy - I'll look into this.

    I got nothing through The Yellow Pages apart from letters from people wanting jobs.

    free of charge for a simple 1 line entry, i was quoted £500 p/a for the next step up (paragraph of text and link to your website).

    i imagine it would bring the hits in though.

    yellow pages is the best return I've seen, I tried in the local paper (half page add) but was lucky if I got back what I spent on it each week. Go for the yello pages everytime.

    started a topic IT Service Private work

    IT Service Private work

    Anyone ever done this in-between gigs?

    If so, what's the most effective way of marketing?

    Is it postcards in the newsagents window or sticking a flyer in the local paper.

    I'm thinking about doing some when on the bench or at w/ends but wanted to get some idea of effort vs return from those in the know.

Working...
