Thanks for the helpful info, question and you dont have to answer if you dont want to, how much customers do you get on average a week? also how long did it take for you to get your buisness "running" as in a good flow of customers[/QUOTE/]
I`ve been building a customer base since I was 15, and I`m nearly 33 now. Some of those first customers are still customers to this day. I work 7 days a week and have for years.
I spent several years doing very difficult restoration details for a commercial truck dealership, and when I left, I left on good terms because they need me. On rainy days and during the winter months, I work there. Its not glamorous but its the job security I need to stay afloat in the winter. As far as Facebook goes, it took me about a year before I really saw the traffic I wanted to see. Something that has generated a lot of buzz is my May Giveaway that I do every year. I raffle off a full detail, and people have to comment to be entered, or share for a double entry. I`ve seen 30 new likes in a week just from that. My business is no where near where I want it to be, but its getting there. I`ve managed to build it to what it is with no help or support from family, banks, investors, or anyone else other than what I`ve learned from my late father and what I`ve picked up along the way from working in body shops, dealerships, and countless hours on here. Hang in there..I`m living proof that you can do it.
