What do you guys think?
Jeff thinks it is a bad idea.

Dear Bizi

Find out how much the commission is.
Ask some more questions. Are there rules before you agree to the Internet ad?

I am afraid to really advertise as I don't want to be overwhelmed. I look at my schedule and it seems pretty full. I just need to get more clients.
With this kind of advertisement you would get people who would want your services once or twice and then stop. You need a certain number of first time clients before you get the right number of regular people you want. You would be busy in the beginning, but you might anyway -- no matter how you advertise.

I could put a limit on the number of vouches sold.
Is there a time limit? Are the vouchers good for a year?
Are you obligated to make appts immediately or do you have 6 months to accommodate the request?

Here's what might be a stupid question.
Does that ad cover a large geographical area? Would you be expected to drive far to get to a client's home?
Right now, perhaps you already have people who are within comfortable driving distance for you.
