Our youngest did the course and got 0 hits off the Ads, but one night something happened and our (sadly former) neighbours needed a babysitter and off she went. After that she must have been the #1 babysitter among Calgary's Rwandan community.
Its simple. People trust who they know. How can you blame them?
I think of it within the context of my business, I only recommend my clients to people I know are good, I would never just pick a random name out of a flyer.
