I've done conversions for friends, but i'd like to start doing this for money now. For everyone experienced with this, can you give me and anyone else interested some tips/advice? How did you get started? Who did you target first? How did you market yourself? Do you do housecalls/drop offs/what? What's the entire process of a conversion? How much do you charge? What are common problems, things to avoid, etc, etc, etc.
