hi there. so i just started scrapping couple weeks ago and i havent netted much income lately. i have a car so im mostly into electronic scrapping like Moose Scrapper off of youtube. Im wondering how i can get my business known and out there as there is a lot of competition around here. ive been posting tons of ads on kijiji but not many replies... any help would be appreciated.. thanks!

Craigslist is huge look in the free section if you wanna get serious get business cards made check out the Smf shop here for templates , also make t shirts with your name and number on them tell everyone you know what you do friends family co workers eventually they'll tell their friends family and co workers word of mouth is the best advertising

thanks man! but here in nova scotia they only have halifax in the craigslist category lol im from the valley about 2 and a half hours from there but thanks for the other suggestions and such!

Welcome to the forum from the Dakota's. The first step is to introduce yourself to the forum. Then use the search options to take advantage of the library. As a member you have a library card.

Next reach deep, be creative, and create a network. Get your name out there. I recommend that individuals bypass the first level and go for the big players. The first level only creates barriers for the rest of us. As you create networks and expand your business, you will be amazed by the opportunities available to the average peddler. Just my perspective.

Hey Thomas, I advertise some in a city 3 hours away, and still get a few hits

thanks everyone and will sure do your suggestions!

Save up some money(won't take much) and have some business cards and fliers printed. On your fliers put on them what your looking for and not just electronics. Make a list of electronics like computer towers, servers, ups back ups and so no. Make sure you have your contact info on them. Then go to every business you can and hand them out and tell people at the businesses what your doing. It might take a while but the calls will start comming in. You will be suprised to see that people will be glad someone is willing to take thiere unwanted stuff off thiere hands.

okay thanks for the suggestions! and those fliers with the rip off tabs at the bottom with the number/email on them?
