Thanks accord. I have a free basic site set up but will be looking to try and improve and utilise the web more in the next year. All your tips are much appreciated.

No problem mate.

One thing I'd add is that free websites are often very restrictive in what you can control over all.

You'd be better off looking for some low cost paid for webspace, with your own full domain, and control over what you can and can't do with the space.

Unlimited Web Hosting is a reasonably good one, and only a couple of quid a month too.

Cheers!

Used this one Getting British Business Online

Gives you your own free personalised domain name and is easy to operate for a basic site. Just a few brief pages about what I provide and how to contact me with a few before and after pictures is all I really want at the moment.

Thats a great website you have there using the same package as myself. Yours looks alot more professional though. In the process of getting a logo designed which should improve mine a bit.

Unless you have done a comprehensive course on PPC I wouldn't go near it. It may look easy but google works on a quality score,unless you understand this then google will charge you an arm and a leg everytime your add gets clicked. It basically means that those who know how to play the game will pay far less for the number one slot than those who don't.
You need to understand how to do keyword research to know what phrases to bid on, build an add for each phrase and be able to track your adds to know which convert and which don't.

GOOD TIP from me to you is to use gumtree
Its free to advertise on there and within 2 days of offering subby services on there on the olnline manchester and liverpool ones I was getting calls
I turned the work down as it was to far to go and had work at time, just shows it works though
they have editions all over uk, london one is massive - just google gumtree and you cant go wrong!!

Good luck mate

Keep putting the same advert on GumTree everyday or once in 2 days, deleting the old ones; that way you will stay on the top of the search results.

Best of luck!
