How do I make money - self-employed - without using corporate social media?

I was coasting along on an extremely minimal income and I embraced an ethical position of using only privacy-compatible technology.

I subsequently had a wonderful little person come into my life who has made me want to have more material capability & flexilibilty. And so I have turned to trying to sell my skills again.

By refusing to use to use corporate social media to promote my services, I am handicapping myself in getting work.

I also struggle to bring myself to cooperate with powers which are working to undermine my child’s opportunity to have a good life.

Would appreciate your thoughts

    Use Thumbtack or search engines/listing sites specifically for your type of business. Make friends with your clients. Cater to a specific group. Word of mouth can be powerful at gaining new business, but it takes about 6 months to get going.
