i agree; ANY business is hard to start up. i love the idea of the home business & blogging because it’s both fun and entrepreneurial. great advice here, i have yet to follow through with social bookmarking..
Diversification is important, don’t rely on one income or marketing stream. Look out for new trends and developments as opportunities come along in areas that never previously existed.
By giving a good service you don’t really need any other marketing. I haven’t advertised since I started my business and I’m currently turning new clients away as I have enough existing work to keep me going.
