p.s - Almost all of mine have been through personal contacts - it seems many people wanta website, but dont know where to get one so forget about it, until a friend says they have just the person!

Referrals from satisfied clients.

Yes, it always seems to come back to networking. Put on a short presentation at your local Chamber of Commerce, get involved, etc...

Current customers will begin to refer new customers. It will snowball.

Referrals and Networking - no doubt about it

You also get a better class of customer that way:)

I asked a similiar question a few weeks ago, this may help

referrals and networking. Treat people right and provide a solid product and you'd be amazed to find out how many friends they have that need work done. :)

lol - i wasnt asking so that i could find out how to get business, i was simply interested in how you guys do, strangly enough i almost have too many jobs on, and become stressed as i get about three all at once, then quiet for two weeks, then hell again - but ive now decided to use that "off" time starting up useful projects of my own, or studying a new area, newlanguage, something like that

Im just forming a company of our own with my brother, whos a truly amazing software programmer - so im looking forward to the future!
