My experience is that paid ads get a few more "likes" than not having a paid ad but not much else. Word of mouth and referrals from existing clients work best.

Collecting money is the most difficult part of being a freelancer. You must be persistent. They always have excuses for not paying. If they string you out more than 90 days you have to get tougher which means it may be the last job you do for them but who needs clients who don't pay their bills?...

If they call you again for a job ask for a deposit before you begin your work.

Postcard promo pieces. The return was awesome so I continued with a series of 7 postcards. Two of the seven had the best responses. I continue with postcard promos both mailed and handed out at every opportunity. (more) Postcard promo pieces. The return was awesome so I continued with a series of 7 postcards.

It depends on the circumstances. If someone is unresponsive about the topic of my business I won't push the issue. If they show interest I ask them for their card first and that usually stimulates the same question from them. (more) It depends on the circumstances.
