I am planning to start mail based Math assignment help services for the students up to 6-8th grade. I can’t start in big way by developing a site and paying for SEO. What would the be the effective ways to reach the needy students?

Since your service user will be a child, you will need to sell your service to their parents (who will be paying you) as well as to the children. One great way to promote a tutoring or homework help service is to put together a presentation on homework tips for parents and making that presentation to the PTO (parent-teacher organization) or other parent group at the schools in your area. Another idea is to put together a "fun with math" type presentation that could be done directly in the classroom. Your handouts would then include a marketing piece for students (or their parents) to contact you directly.

Best regards,

Molly Donaldson

Selling to the parents is definitely one method.  Selling it to the Teachers/Counselors I would think is another strong approach.  The students teacher will most likely be the first person to notice when a student is in need of a service such as yours.  Presenting your ideas to the faculty/staff of local schools may be a way to get your foot in the door.

Also a side question that I have is will this be a "snail" mail assignment?  In todays digital age I would not limit myself to paper mailings.  Lots of unnecessary costs involved with creating/printing/mailing assignments if the student/parent is capable of receiving it via email and printing it at home.
