Buzzy Gordon		Hi Audra, Your main problem is similar to that of most small businesses: how to advertise/get the word out without spending money. There are a number of resources that can help. The Small Business Administration sponsors the SCORE program, where you can receive free marketing mentorship from retired volunteer businesspeople. Join one or two local chambers of commerce, and attend their networking functions. You and your husband can divide up those chores. You shouldn't have to pay full membership dues right away. If you and/or your husband are temporarily underemployed, re-read the mission statement of this Network, and follow the path we members are choosing: develop multiple streams of income, and assets that can earn money for you. Your computer skills can work for you here, as Internet-based infopreneurship and network marketing are both taking off. Go to the library and check out the books that are recommended here, seek out a local CashFlow game circle, and don't give up! > Audra Russell wrote: > Hi Stephanie! > >Thanks for writing me back. I'm in the computer field. We offer computer support for small businesses that use RedHat Linux, Mac OSX and Windows; web design and hosting; 3D graphics and animation and videography services. > >My target market for the computer support service is small businesses (1 to 100 maybe) because they often have computer problems and no one to fix them. The other areas I'm not really sure what my target market is. Would like to do freelance 3D graphics work for Discovery...my husband has excellent graphics skills. > >As far as my goals, well, it was to have a steady stream of customers....guess I have to refine that one, huh? > >Well, this is a start....help! > > >> Stephanie Frank wrote: >> Hi Audra: >> >>Before we can help you lay out a plan for your financial success, I need to ask a few questions. >> >>1.

I want to make lots of money with my business so my husband can come home and work with me and stop being underpaid.

I have a great business, but not a lot of money to market with....ok no money to market with. I do a lot of networking, only to meet other people in the same boat as myself (ironic, huh?). >>> >>>What I need are clientele that aren't afraid to spend money for a quality product. >>> >>>So, anyone have any tips for me on how to become wealthy?
