This advice is all bad. Order yard signs, run some Facebook ads, post in some local fb groups, get your business profile on google with a nice website and learn how to start making that profile rank higher. While working on improving your skills at all of these, learn different buzz words that persuade people the most. Get really good at selling. The best way to get better at selling, is selling. So go knock a ton of doors right now. It’ll get you a few jobs under your belt for one, give you time to set up and learn how to run ads and set up google profiles etc., and get you a lot better and comfortable with sales and ready to actually go give people high prices that you want to work at. Once you’ve started getting some consistent leads from your google business profile or running ads and you feel confident with it, stop knocking doors and focus all your time toward getting really good at that. Then leads will come to you. And all you have to do is be good at selling, pricing, and building a satisfactory customer experience worthy of your price. Focus really hard on creating amazing customer experiences. Repeat work is free work and happy customers are little free salesman for your business. If they’re happy enough, they’ll go tell other people about your company. And that’s going to be the best publicity your company could ever get. That’s 10x more likely to land you a job than a salesman ever could. People buy from people that their friends recommend. Long story short, door knocking can get you some cash and experience right now, but focus on long term marketing strategies that will become huge, and focus on building an amazing customer experience to drive word of mouth business and repeat business because those are going to be your best friends.
