Twice a week we publish problems that will feature in a forthcoming Dear Jeremy advice column in the Saturday Guardian so that readers can offer their own advice and suggestions. We then print the best of your comments alongside Jeremy’s own insights.
I am a self-employed Tefl teacher in London. I set up my business in 2012 and I’ve been working hard on my website and blog. I enjoy what I do but the problem is that I don’t get that many inquiries because my website isn’t in the first few pages of Google.
I advertise through Gumtree but it’s £100 a week (for a featured ad). I’ve also tried Google adwords but that’s pricey as well. I’m wondering if you have any ideas about how I can advertise or get funding to build my business.
Do you need advice on a work issue? For Jeremy’s and readers’ help, send a brief email to dear.jeremy@theguardian.com. Please note that he is unable to answer questions of a legal nature or to reply personally.
