Why don't you build a small site dedicated to solicitors and accountants
within your own area and webspace (saving money) and charge them a small fee
to advertise? If you charge £30 year and you get 50 customers, that's £1500.
Take out of that a couple of hundred quid to advertise the site in local
papers and hey presto.

You made a £1000, you got extra work from these customers wanting their own
site, and your own website and business is getting loads of attention.

The beauty is once you've put these customers onto the site, you have
nothing to do for a year !

This idea works well if its not to broad (only covering a specific area
thats not too big, not like a large database directory)

My selling point on this is its to generate more business in the community.

Any help :-)

Regards

Damian Thomas
