Make your own flyer/business cards with home computer - pass around the neighborhood, pick good neighborhood, get tax id no from irs for tax filing purpose you can deduct your expenses - do word of mouth - first is to get good clients - you have to decide if you want to do as self-employed - www.irs.gov has lots of info on self employment, mileage to clients, cleaning supplies, etc are all deductible.
