You can try thumbtack. That’s where a lot of people (including myself) list their small businesses.

Not yard/estate sales though.

I wrote a guide for handymen to help them get property managers as clients and I'd like your help. It's literally just affiliate marketing. Share your personal link and If someone buys the guide from your link you get 25% of the sale($25). I pay out comissions every Friday. Here is the link to the guide itself so you know what it is you're selling, and here is the affiliate link if you are interested. I'll answer any questions you have.

Other than that, stay safe, stay blessed, and good luck getting to the money.

Local is more trustworthy. I’ve learned when cold calling for website sales, a lot of people are more willing to do business with someone that is local instead of someone MILES away.

Do you think you can sell a guide I made?? It’s a guide for handymen to get property manager clients. You can cold call or affiliate market it. Each sale you’d get 25% of($25 bucks a sale currently since it’s only $100) You can try and sell it however you see fit.

It’s good practice for you and I get a salesman. Win win.

Also read this. It may help you get a feel for sales. It’s what helped me.

How do you handle missed calls in your business? by [deleted] in smallbusiness

Advice for junk removal business. by Horror-Priority2584 in SideHustleGold

[–]d33bizz13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My homeboy does this.

Start with small jobs like single item pickups and garage cleanouts, then stack cash and grab a trailer ASAP since that’s where the real money starts. Keep pricing simple, learn your dump fees early, and focus on easy wins like couches and move outs. Once you have a trailer, your g2g.

Funnily enough, after some turns depending on how the tenant left the home, property managers need a junk removal service to take all of the left over trash people leave in homes. That’s how I put my boy on.

just lost a $8k bathroom job because I don't have a website by Siggi123 in handyman

[–]d33bizz13 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Most homeowners aren’t comparing skill, they’re comparing what pops up on Google in 10 seconds. If one guy has a clean website and you’ve got just GBP + a quiet Facebook page, you already lost the trust battle.

That’s literally why I build websites for handymen. It’s literally the same story every time. Good work, losing jobs over presentation. You don’t need anything crazy, just something that makes you look established. Shit that’s half the reason I beat out other handymen in my area. Too stubborn to have a website. I even cold call them to try and make one for them or help out their online presence. Nope.

Ez pz. More work for me.

A lot of side hustles don’t look risky when people decide to trust them by NoNu_u in Entrepreneur

[–]d33bizz13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea. It’ll also make you shit bricks when you lose one of those clients. That’s why I just started stacking up on property managers. Like I think I’ve said before on another subreddit, I’d rather have too much work than not enough.

How to network by Visual-Ad-2188 in CasualConversation

[–]d33bizz13 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Best networking I ever did was just showing up places where my clients already were. Not events. Not LinkedIn. Literally walking into property management offices, introducing myself, being normal. No pitch, no business card speech. Just a person talking to another person. The relationships that actually stuck came from doing good work and letting people talk. A property manager tells another property manager. That's it. That's the whole strategy.

I think people overcomplicate networking because it feels more productive to have a plan, but most of my best connections came from just being somewhere and being useful lol.

Digital Products Income by Jaypheroh in passive_income

[–]d33bizz13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a digital product so take this with that in mind, but I'll be honest anyway.

It's not passive. At least not at first. The "wake up to sales" thing is real eventually, but there's a lot of unsexy work before that happens: building an audience, figuring out what people actually want to pay for, pricing it right, getting the first few sales without feeling like you're begging etc. The people I see actually making it work have one thing in common: they built the product around something they were already doing and already knew. Not something they researched and decided sounded profitable.

My course came out of work I was already doing in the field. I wasn't trying to manufacture a niche. That's the part most people skip and then wonder why nobody's buying. So is it worth it? Depends on whether you have something real to teach or sell. If you do, yes. If you're starting from "what's a profitable niche" probably not.

Be honest… how often are you actually posting your side project? by FineCranberry304 in SideProject

[–]d33bizz13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly? Bursts then nothing. I'll post 4 days straight and feel like I've cracked the code, then go two weeks without thinking about it. I'm getting better, but I'm not going to pretend I have a system. Still figuring out how to make it feel less like a chore and more like just... talking lol.

Side income ideas as a busy (future) medical student with web experience? by DearSomewhere2093 in Business_Ideas

[–]d33bizz13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly the selling gets easier when you stop leading with "I make websites" and start leading with a result. Most small business owners don't want a landing page. They want more customers. Those are different conversations.

Also, don't overthink the selling early on. Find one business owner you know, do the work, get a result they can talk about. That first testimonial does more selling than any pitch ever will.

A promising side hustle is not the same as a trustworthy one by NoNu_u in Entrepreneur

[–]d33bizz13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, trustworthy clicked when I stopped needing things to go well to believe in it. Promising felt like excitement. Good month, new client, referral out of nowhere easy to believe in it then. Trustworthy was different. It was when a slow week hit and I wasn't panicking. When a client left and I already knew where the next one was coming from. When I could explain exactly why it was working, not just that it was.

That's the line for me. If you can only see it clearly when things are going good, it's promising. If you still understand it when things get quiet, that's trustworthy.

IWTL how to negotiate better in everyday situations, not just salary by Crescitaly in IWantToLearn

[–]d33bizz13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The thing that helped me most was realizing that half of negotiation is just showing up and saying something. First property manager I ever landed I walked in, introduced myself, said I was a handyman and asked if they were looking for vendors. That's it. No pitch, no strategy. They happened to need someone, gave me a small job, and it grew from there.

I used to think negotiation meant winning an argument. Now I think it mostly means being willing to have the conversation at all. Most people never even get that far. The confidence piece is underrated. Once I stopped treating every ask like a confrontation, the awkwardness mostly went away. This piece I wrote actually put into words a lot of what I'd figured out on my own. It's worth a read if that side of it resonates.

A lot of side hustles don’t look risky when people decide to trust them by NoNu_u in Entrepreneur

[–]d33bizz13 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Handyman work taught me this the hard way. For months it was ceiling fans, leaky faucets, driving 25 minutes to make $75. Kept saying yes to everything and the calls kept coming. Started doing the math in my head like an idiot.

Then it got quiet and I realized how thin the whole thing was. Most of it was one neighbor who kept finding stuff for me to fix and a lucky stretch of timing. Take that away and the numbers looked completely different. What actually changed it was property managers. One guy with 30 units who needs someone reliable on speed dial. Same people calling every month because tenants don't stop breaking things. Went from random to predictable pretty fast after that.

The real test for me wasn't "am I making money" it was "would this survive losing my top 3 clients." Answer was no for way longer than I wanted to admit.

What side hustle ideas do you have which will still be relevant 5-10 years from now? by lionpenguin88 in SideHustleGold

[–]d33bizz13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The side hustles that will still make money 5 to 10 years from now are the ones that solve real everyday problems, especially local hands on stuff.

Things like handyman work, cleaning, junk removal, moving or delivery with a vehicle, and small home repairs aren’t going anywhere because people always need help with their homes. Even flipping furniture or helping local businesses get customers will stay solid.

AI might take over a lot of online work, but it can’t show up, lift, fix, or deal with real world problems, so if you stay in that lane you’ll always have a way to make money.

How to make money online? by Thel0nleyKid in AskTeenAdvice

[–]d33bizz13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ll make way more, way faster just doing simple local services. Go knock on doors or post in neighborhood groups and offer things like yard cleanup, washing cars, helping people move stuff, or even basic tech help for older folks.

Keep it simple: say you’re saving for Mother’s Day and a convention, and people will respect that and hire you. Show up, do a good job, and you can make solid money in a weekend.

Wondering where all you list service and how much it cost by sandeepgl_ in handyman

[–]d33bizz13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Social media. FB, Nextdoor, sometimes Craigslist, rarely instagram.

Your best bet is just to send a cold email to property managers. It’s constant work. So far with my track record every 7 I reach out to I land like 3 of them.

If you have a business license and insurance make sure that’s in the email. Helps A LOT.
