In answering yes, I am not adverse to the app, but am very wary of the algorithm, data gathering potential and control by a non-American entity and in particular China a vehement American adversary. Having spent years in China on business, I am very aware of the Chinese government's control and desire to gather intelligence and affect public opinion both inside and outside their country! That is why these social media apps are outlawed in China. Beware!

Regardless of which path you take, in an entrepreneurial role you will struggle. Whether in sales, operations, management or ownership, communication in difficult situations will be required. As mentioned in most of the previous replies, another line of work that plays to your introversion (laboratory, health care, inventory, stocking, etc.) may be your better job path. If your heart is set on consulting, then you must learn to conquer your introversion, develop your interpersonal communication ability and work diligently on your self confidence. The problem here is that all of this will take time and diligent effort that will not produce a monetary gain! Therefore, my suggestion is to seek a different employment path.

We have never tried it, but Houzz typically showcases products not services. We have tried Angie's List and Homes Advisor with no real profitable results. For granted, they do not have a specific category for masonry, but their leads program never turned into real projects. Now we're using Google Ad Words and for less investment we are realizing great results. Good luck with finding a good fit for you!

As you so aptly have been counselled, marketing is a game of information being placed in the face of potential customers. You can spend thousands of dollars on it, but our experience has taught us that printed material given to sources that can get you in front of your potential market work well. Ad flyers in a weekly local shopping guide, given to remodelers, contractors, builders, realtors and materials suppliers are good. A great website with an identifiable brand, Facebook and other social media will spread your product or service better than expensive printed, radio or TV spots. Home shows can be good, if they have reliable attendance numbers. Ask for references. Think like a buyer, yourself. Where would you go, if you were looking for your service. My guess would be online these days. Be sure your presence is on the first page of the search engines!
