Question

Im not a pro, but im not just some hack. Im 19 and in collede,I love to deltail cars, truck, and dirtbikes. I made some flyers and I rang some doorbells in the surrounding neighborhoods. I had a few bites but nothing to big. Do any of you guys do this? How do you get your name out there when you first started?

Re: Question

Jared to be honest with you, there really is no magical way of getting your name out there, unless you open up a large car wash place/shop where you get tons of walk-ins daily.

I you're doing a good one-man job and want to get more clients, you're simply stuck with slowly growing. You'll probably get 1-2 new clients a month, sometimes more sometimes less. If you advertise more and in effective places (certain newspapers, car dealers/shops, car clubs, etc.) you'll obviously get more exposure, but it's really the word of mouth that helps most.
