Literally all of my clients are either warm market (people I already knew including a relative, my hairdressers husband, a supply teacher at my kids school - crazy but true!) The rest of my clients all come from online marketing efforts. Either direct hits to my website or a few from Twitter. I've never done any cold calling or flyers - actually I haven't done any traditional advertising at all...strictly online. __________________ www.thebrainygal.com

I belong to a networking group called BNI. It has helped me grow my business and I receive on average 2 - 3 referrals a month. I also receive referrals from current clients but you have to ask. I have learned this is the key. __________________ Cindy Schroeder Bright Bookkeeping

Networking and word of mouth. Lisa reminded me that I created a business card for my hairdresser...and I will receive THREE free haircuts. Not bad. __________________ Terri Williams, Assisting the small business owner www.terripwilliams.com

Website and online as I prefer clients at distance. My experience with locals is that they're mostly looking for a cheap, on-demand 24/7, go-fer. __________________ The Wordpro Wizard www.wordprowizard.com
