Starting up can be very difficult. Your best bet is to get your name out via referral. If you do not have any clients yet, your best bet is to offer incentives to people you know. Give them a discount for the first month and then do a very good job. All it takes is for you to have one client. Make sure that you do the best job you can. Once you have done this a few times, approach your client and ask if they are happy with your work. If they are, ask them if they can give you a referral. I work with a few house cleaners and most of them has never even put out an ad throughout their house cleaning careers. My cleaning lady is so successful in the biz that she is no longer accepting any new clients. Just remember, never be afraid to ask for that referral.
