What you need to do in my opinion is not advertising as such, but marketing more broadly, including networking.

LinkedIn is a good place to do this.

Good Morning Kate, 

Not something I feel ready for at this stage in my career and I don't want to hijack this thread completley but I’d absolutely love to hear a bit more about it and your journey into consulting if you’d be open to sharing?

Just the basics really, what initially appealed to you about consulting, how it’s impacted your work-life balance, and roughly how long it took you to build a solid customer base? Did you stick to the sectors you already had worked in? I often imagine that selling the services is actually harder than delivering the service sometimes, I think it's something I'd be really interested in the future.

Hi Jonny

I won't go in to detail here.  The one key point I'll mention is that I left employment and went freelance only once I had secured my first client.
