Unless you're ambitious and want to employ people to have a larger business I can't see the need for going on any of these lists. All you have to do is quote fairly for the work requested, be friendly and polite,do a high quality job and always clean up thoroughly and you'll never be short of work.

Anyway Peg, what have outfits like Trustatrader ever done for us eh??

Let us all,understand what "Trustatrader",and all similar entities,before and since,are about.
It is a business,whose model and reason,is as old as trade itself.

The pyramid nature of these set-ups,is born out,by tracking their longevity and income stream,over any years that they last.

The benefit of presented work,is promised to the tradesman.
The promise of cheapest quote and vetting,is the alleged benefit,to the customer.

In truth,every body cannot win,and as it is the customers choice,the only losers will be on the opposing side. As in pyramid models,it is the people running,not the people using,who stand to win regularly.

I do not doubt there are a few winners,but to ensure the profits and continued operation of these schemes,and schemes they are,there has to be a commensurately greater number of losers,and they will be those who have put something in,to lose.

There are numerous studies,thesis titles and F.E projects on advertising based businesses,and it is not an accident,that the authors of some of the more incisive and understanding tomes,become directors of similar successful businesses,in the same vein.

come on people, please don't use these types of websites, all they are is a parasite.
They do nothing, while your out working and making money for them.

never spent a penny on advertising...but if you are self employed, you can offset the cost against your tax.

Surely that kind of advertising is a very indiscriminate shotgun approach and unlikely to get you quality customers. Also sounds hellish expensive, I'd be looking at more focussed advertising
