It’s soo good to hear all the different opinions and experiences. I’m in the same boat. I started my business about 3 years ago and have done alot of marketing (FREE ofcourse) to get the word out. I created a facebook page and a twitter login. I have come across clients who value what I do and the time I put into doing it and I’ve also come across clients who want everything for a very minimal cost. Initially I was very flexible with everyone and then i realized that I was putting alot of money and time into this and not making any profit at all. I also have a fulltime job so I do alot of advertising at work as well..(mostly by making baked goods and taking it in..yes i know..another Free marketing source) but I guess starting out you will be putting in more money than making out of it. Good Luck to all :)
