I've been on the go for three months now and it is hard work. I am now making about 2000 a month which is less than what I was on before I started but being your own boss more than makes up for it.

Marketing yourself is vital. Take pictures of your work and get testimonials from your customers. Also get them to go into the tile shop they bought their tiles from and tell the shop how happy they were with your work. The retailer will be happier to recommend you if they know what you are like.

The faster I have got the better I have got but it takes time. Be prepared to fret about work. At the most I only ever seem to get work booked up 3 weeks in advance and I still panic about what happens beyond that.

I use rated tradesmen a bit as well. A lot of people don't like it and it is expensive but I do get work from it, and at the moment I can't be choosy

Have you got listing on findtrustedtradesmen.co.uk? If so, what is it? I'll try and optimise it a little for you.

Just over a year ago I was an IT manager went on Darrens course at NETT, 4 weeks later I started my own business and have never looked back, I was lucky not many tilers in my area so I am making the top end of the market money wise, have to work for it though!!
Definately recommend NETT walked out of there confident I could go into someones house and do a pro job. definately worth the money,I think courses which are any longer are wasting you money which you could be spending on tools! I did the natuaral stone course aswell, I now have a contract with a fired earth franchise, some of the tiles I put on for them are over £550 psm. made nearly 2 grand in one week laying stone, good to be into

OH did i mention how good the NETT course was!

if Darren is reading this it is Gary from Northallerton

I'm just bumping some of the tiling course & tiling training related threads. Ignore them if they're not current threads for you. They will drop back off the list in a week or so, and I don't do this much.
