I don't know where you are geographically, but increasingly, people go on-line to check for local services. \n There's a great free e-book at http://services.inquire-sbi.com about how services can use the Web to build business.  I have done that. My site is http://www.writershelper.com. My business is different because I can have world-wide clients, but the book will show you how to use the Web to build a local business, too.\nOf course this is only one piece of the pie and others will give you other advice as well.\n\nBest wishes.

Check out your competition. Find out what they charge, who their preferred suppliers are, etc. Do they do anything in-house or outsource?\n\nAlso, find out if they're all really busy. If they are, then there's enough room in the market for one more. (Heck, one might even mentor you if there's more than enough business to go around.) But if they're struggling to find business, you might want to look elsewhere.
