My friend and I started our own cleaning business...Essentially all we did was extend a license from her other business. So far we have gotten one client, people that hire us to clean for only one hour every two weeks. So I mean, our business is making $15 every two weeks, $30 a month. Naturally we have to have other jobs to keep afloat! I've been trying to think of ways to increase our business so my friend and I passed out a hundred flyers to apartment complexes. It cost us $5 for the stack of 100. Despite a glossy flyer, no one called. My next plan is to go to entrepreneur meet up groups. I am very poor but is it worth it to make the sacrifice of $10 for 250 business cards to pass out at the entrepreneurs meeting or will I just end up losing my $10 on the business cards again do you think?

Yes. Absolutely. If you get somebody's attention and they want to hire or recommend you the worse thing that can happen is they don't know who you are. Don't print them either. Vista print has some professional looking ones at that price.

Also put up a free brochure style website. Most people don't consider somebody with out one. Plus you gain entry to all sorts of other marketing avenues.

You state should also have small business resources. Classes and stuff. Good luck!

Thank you, we do have a website already, thanks to my precocity...So I will be probably adding the website to our business cards.
