I’m 1 minute in and already learning. Thank you

I love all your suggestions, however, I don't entirely agree with the 1st one. Rather than Craigslist, I was thinking of using Kijiji which is similar to Craigslist. Unfortunately I think that will only bring me clients who are price shopping. Last time I tried to use Kijijiji or Craigslist all I got were several marriage proposals from people who were not very good at typing in English.

Also, I didn't realize you could do advertising on Yelp for Business. I thought it was just for setting up a business account and then you have to wait for people to post reviews of your business.

[WillertMorris]

Good advice. Simple, direct and true.

Big Thanks to you brother, that was helpful to me.

Do you know which is more important to know as a bookkeeper, Quickbooks or Excel?

Hi Steve, I tried posting on Craigslist in several locations twice for a month and got zero leads. I’m also on Yelp but didn’t get much from that. And I’ve been in many fb groups to interact and network with people, but didn’t bring me any clients either. It’s really discouraging after doing so many ways to get clients for over 2 years and got nothing. 😓

I just put up my first CL ad based on this video. What kind of time does it usually take to get a hit? How many ads do you tend to run? Just wondering if I should put up a few more ads in nearby cities.

Thanks for the video, Steve! I have a question as I entertain the idea of starting an accounting firm. Do you have suggestions or a video on which type of business entity is best to form in CA? If I'm not mistaken, you have to have a CPA license to be able to register your business as S- corp right?

I think my main question is, how do you let them know you're only going to be working remotely and nights/weekends? IE - you're keeping your day job and this is "just" a side hustle.

[arunachalamlokesh]

Sounds awesome Steve. Can we have a small discussion in phone call, if possible.

[draganadjordjevic]

What you think about people for hour platform?

[jandavis]

I have access to nextdoor digest, a way to converse with neighbors on a big busy street Everything from lost cats to where to find__. Do you think this would a possible way to get clients?

[janetechaney]

I am a newbie and need help marketing my business to get clients.

[bodycoach]
