Re: Yellow Pages Listings

You all bring up a great point here, and it has made me think twice about
not doing the yellowpages ad I was offered.

Any advise for me? I am a professional photographer working from my home.
Just starting out, I also work a day job, as does my wife (untill she had a
car accident). We are living pay check to pay check right now and thus, have
no money for the $150.00 a month fee. Any tips on other avenues of marketing
that would really work, and not just waste my time and money?
