If your area has Facebook swap & shops, you have exposure to 10’s of thousands of people likely. In my area, this method kept me pretty darn busy for a little over half the year. If it works for you great! If not, let me know what you’re doing that is low cost, low effort, but returning value.
Honest feedback is always appreciated.
Note: I’ve found that the smaller local suburb swap & shops are the best bet. Kansas City general swap & shops I get buried pretty quickly under everyone else selling.

lol. My business facebook thingy pops up occasionaly on my regular facebook page and says it has been like 1500 days since I last visited. I didn’t realize for over a year that they were messages sent to it. Don’t have the password to log in and deactivate it.
At 7 figures a year it sounds like you’ve got good control of your market. Those of us only doing 5 (I think I might break 6 this year though!) need everything we can! Worse case scenario we’re visible and when we put one out quarterly we’re already in the head of someone who saw us last quarter.
My wife and I both agree that facebook has no place in our lives. Plenty of other valuable marketing means without bringing that garabage into the mix.
Absolutely to each his own. Definitely wasn’t knocking you for your choices. Was simply stating my feelings on FB.
What we’re doing is working well beyond our wildest imaginations. I make in two days what I made in a month as a senior systems analyst. And it’s only a few months in to our second year. My wife and I really balance each other out in this industry - her realtor background and knowing how to close sales, and knowledge of the real estate market. And my systems skills and being a jack of all trades. It’s just working very well. Each business has to figure out what works best for them.
I may steal some of this. I use FB for posting pics etc. and try to include a little vignette with it. I never had a FB page before I started the staining business. and my personal page has nothing on it and is locked down. That said if I show someone a picture on my phone that is on FB they are absolutely convinced it is wonderful, if I just show them the same pic out of my photo gallery it’s just a nice picture. It’s ridiculous but FB is instant credibility.
Hope it’s helpful. Hey can I text you a picture of a wood deck I did on a million dollar house and it doesn’t look like anything changed and you can tell me what you think?
Sure. Better yet send it to my email mark@sureshotstainandseal.com. My eyes aren’t what they used to be and it helps to put pics on the big screen. I am going to get a tooth pulled this afternoon and they are going to knock me out so you might not hear from me until tomorrow.
