Good afternoon,
I have been reading these boards for awhile and know a few of you that are on here (met in the game).

Things at my job are a tad rocky at the moment and I do not know if I will be employed in the coming weeks. I have always wanted to jump on the entrepreneur path and open my own drafting and design business.

As I am new to this and do not know where to start I was wondering if some of you could give me some pointers as to what/how I should go about building a clientele. Maybe some of you may require some of the things that I do. If that is the case then GREAT I can email you my contact information.

I currently am still doing all the drawings/drafting for my previous employer and this is what made me think of opening my own business.

I am currently experienced with electrical schematics, piping drawings, 2 dimensional drawings, 3 dimensional drawings, detailed spatial planning’s of various rooms, fabrication drawings, etc.

So what tips can you give me on building a clientele to bring business in? I am currently in the process of putting a portfolio together with some various work that I have done.

Would any of you need any of these services?

Any information that you can give me would be GREATLY appreciated.

how am i spamming???

im simply asking for advice how to start up my own buisness...
i dont know where or how to go about getting a clientel...

yes i did ask if anyone needed my services but not once did i post a link to a website. the main reason i posted here was to receive "advice". i didnt post this in the main forums as that is where the "tech" questions and discussion questions for the game goes.

i figured that there were some well educated people on these forums that have took that one step most people are afraid to take and open their own buisness.

It is people like that i am trying to reach so that they can help me take that next step.

After all these forums are for discussion and help. and that is what im asking for... help/advice. if you have nothing to say then please dont post on this thread.. just ignore it. its that simple

lately all that has been on these forums are flames. and i didnt expect to receive any on this post.

so for those of you who have taken that one step... please give some advice.

not spam just looking for help

Same post two different forums = spam.....

Im in the same Field you are in, I do contract drafting on the side... My advice: Make friends with as many Engineering companies/Independant contractors as possible... I do Instrumentation & Electrical Design/Drafting and have 3 clients at the moment.... Think long and hard before you get into this, because all free time is GONE.. Good luck
