    Got a good lead finally!

    Been running ads on CL and FB Groups for a couple months and haven't been getting the greatest replies. Been slow I guess. Yesterday got a call from a thrift store that everyone has probably heard of and they wanted to see if I wanted to take over scrap metal removal. I went and talked to the manager and was loading the truck that night. Lots of steel, alum cookware, e-scrap, etc. they said I need to be there every other day to keep the clutter down. I'm happy hopefully this will turn into a good side job for me

    That's great. Keep building that client base. Networking pays off, as you've just proven. Now all you have to do is keep repeating it. And always be on the look out for new place to sell your business. Especially free advertising!
