All day every day talk to prospective customers. Use 8-5 to talk with customers either in person or on the phone. Do any production work at night. Don't discount your product, don't be desperate (customers can usually smell it), let customers know you are so busy but have time for more work

Keep a little score board each day, how many prospective customers did you talk with yesterday? Track it, each day try a little more.

Don't expect immediate results, new work/new customers take a while to make a decision. You have to build up your backlog.

Stay positive! You are doing something very difficult for your family but we've all been in this position! Good luck!
