No form of advertising has ever worked for me.
I think the main problem for me is that I live in a technological backwater. This is the North Midlands. It's the pits, literally! Nothing happens here, nothing ever will. It's doom and gloom. As Alexei Sayle used to say, even the rainbows are in black and white around here!
The city of Nottingham, a much more technologically advanced location, is probably just a little too far from home to be of any practical use.
I recently placed a series of ads in the Nottingham Evening Post, all of which brought ZERO telephone enquiries.
My biggest advertising success has been the Yellow Pages. My regular free one-line entry has produced three telephone enquiries in the last few years.
What little work I have had has been all down to word of mouth.
What the **** can I do? I'm almost out on the streets.
Oh - btw, I'm no good at phone sales so please don't suggest that.
