What I like the best about this method is that you don’t have to invest your
own money, you will collect the payment first and then pay, without
spending even $1 of your money.
Without wasting any more time, let’s get started.
First thing you have to do is navigate to Canva (https://www.canva.com/) and
create an account there, it’s super simple & free + you can register/login with
your Gmail account.
You’re going to click on create a design button at the top left corner and
you’re going to find Business Card under Marketing Materials

Now you’re going to go to Craigslist (it doesn’t have to be your local
one, it can be whichever one you want) - https://www.craigslist.org/ for
this example i’ll use Milwaukee (even tho I’m from Europe) and
you’re going to navigate to Services -> Skilled Trade
The reason I like to use that section is because people who mostly post
there are just getting started and they haven’t got their ‘business’
established yet, for example; website, logo, etc.
We’re going to take advantage of that.

You’re going to pick a random business owner and you’re essentially
going to create a business card for him & his team. It sounds hard but
it’s actually pretty easy.
For this example i’ll use Jeff and his drywall & woodworking services
and we’re going to go back to Canva and create a simple business
card for him and his team/business.
Search thru Business Card section until you find a nice looking
business card that is matching the craigslist ad.

I went with a simple but modern style for Jeff and his services (as you
can see in the image above). It took me less than 5 minutes to create
that business card.
Now what you need to do is e-mail (or phone??) business owner and
offer them your services. I prefer to phone them and explain them over
the phone what I’m doing and then ask for their e-mail but you can just
e-mail them, it doesn’t really matter.
You can search for their e-mail and other business info thru Better
Business Bureau
(https://www.bbb.org/) or you can contact them thru
Craigslist list if they have that option enabled.

As for BBB, you can simply search their phone number on the site and
if anything will come up.
