It is really difficult to get going and the first year is really hard and a learning experience. It's good that you found a good support system where you can vent and ask questions. Don't give up - keep trying to advertise as you have been. Some of my best clients have found my ads on this very site, but I also have friends place my ad at big companies, hospitals, especially when they have internal electronic sales type systems. You reach a lot of people that way. Advertise at Mom's groups, get your family and friends to spread the word for you. Good luck!
