    Print up some do-it-yourself business cards from Walmart and print up some wall flyers for posting on bulletin boards. Or if you have the extra money you might buy some scrapping cards from our SMF store. http://www.scrapmetalforum.com/smf-s...fessional.html

    Network with friends and family and pass out cards and flyers, people know people and will keep you in mind.

    I got business cards from one of the office stores and I've been telling everyone that will listen that I am now doing junk removal. Things are starting to trickle in more and more. I went out last Saturday to the yard sales and even though I didn't find anything I thought would be profitable, I did give my card to the various homeowners, two of whom are moving by the end of the month and said they might call.
