Topic: I'm Looking for Business and Web Site Tips

Hey,

    I started my business, TJ Design back in August with the intent to make enough money for a second source of income. My main problem is that the area I live in is scarce on the business side. I have managed to raise a few eye brows after the word got out that I am $20+/hour cheaper the all the local competitors, and after I landed a gig for a local restaurant.
    But I am looking for some advice on marketing a web design business and also any advice/tips that I can use towards my own web site.
    So far I have posted a few fliers around town, dropped off business cards at some appropriate places, and joined the towns business association.

Here's my site.

http://www.tj-design.net

   My Flash experience is still in the beginner stage which is why I haven't thought of anything too animated.

Take a look at some of the podcasts here:

And this might help a bit:

There is a business of web design section in this forum that might be of some use as well.

I should also mention... Sitepoint (http://www.sitepoint.com/) is another useful resource.
