I'm a chippy and generally get all of my jobs from the same few customers. Work's pretty consistent but there are always a couple patches where I have too much time between jobs... and the money tree starts looking a bit run down.

Had a spat about rates with one of the few people I consistently contract for, and it got me thinking about how all of my work comes from the same people. Obviously I'm not hitting panic stations yet but I think it would be a good move to branch out a bit so I'm not on struggle street if work dries up.

Wanted to hear how everyone markets themselves. Was thinking about setting up a website, what are people's thoughts ? any good? I hate shit like Wix, it's too much work and so is talking to a web designer, but could probably do it if it's worth it. I put the word out on Facebook groups and have had some (not heaps) of work come from there.

A mate and I are visiting Austin from Australia in September and need to book accomodation. We're both mid 20s so not flush for cash so want somewhere cheap and safe. Anyone have any recommendations of where to stay and general cost? We'll be there for about three days.

Also happy to take suggestions for things to do and any other tips you may have. Currently visiting some friends at college there and want to go to a longhorns game over labor day weekend.
