Steps

  1. Go to Vista Print's website (see below).
  2. Click the link to "Free Business Cards".
  3. Choose from their wide selection of well-designed cards.
  4. Use their template to enter your own personal information (name, phone, etc.).
  5. Order several hundred cards free. What's the catch? There are two:
    • (a) You have to pay about $10 for shipping and handling;
    • (b) The back of your business cards will have a small plug for Vista Print. Not a bad deal, though.

Tips

  • Give a handful of your business cards to each of your customers and ask them to recommend you to other parents they know.
  • Always carry a dozen cards with you, and whenever you meet someone and the conversation turns to your job, give them your card.

Warnings

  • WARNING - this company will sign you up for a membership company under many different scam companies (shoppingessentials, vistaprintrewards, passport to fun); it's too bad because the printing side of the company is actually good quality.
  • Since you do not know who will ultimately see your cards, don't put any information on them that you would not share with a stranger. For example, it would be better for a young babysitter to put her mobile phone or pager number on her cards, rather than the family phone number.
  • Likewise be careful about your home address: better to include the town or neighborhood in which you would work, rather than your full home address.
  • If you share your phone with family members, roommates, or other people, consider including "best times to call."
  • Professionals often scoff at free cards. Note that many people may think you don't take your business seriously because you didn't take the time to get a professionally created card done.
  • WARNING - this company will sign you up for a membership company under many different scam companies (shoppingessentials, vistaprintrewards, passport to fun); it's too bad because the printing side of the comapny is actually good quality.

Things You'll Need

  • A computer with an internet connection
  • A credit/debit card (to pay for shipping)
