Join your local community communication groups (WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook, whatever else is out there) and advertise when allows to. Reply to any and every post looking for something you can do, and actually show up when making arrangements. I can’t tell you how many people I contact, make arrangements, and they just never pitch.

I’m like, hanging in there.

Started the business in 2020, was given an existing client base. Many, many people left us, we’ve not gained more clients that have left, but we’re hanging in there. We have just under 200 monthly clients and our turnover is about 2m a year. But we still don’t make a lot of profit because people are wanting to pay less and less and less for more.

You can at least say you tried. Not everyone succeeds, it’s damn difficult to succeed, but you can at least say you made an effort.
