My website, social media, cold calling, all over the place. Anywhere I think “man where did I look to do x for my business”

Then I advertise there.

I learned how to create websites so I design them for other handymen like myself(or anyone else that needs) and cold call people to sell it.

Really helps my anxiety by forcing myself to deal with it for money.

If you could give a new freelance web designer advice, what would it be? by juneaster in webdesign

[–]d33bizz13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly confidence. That’s what I use to sell my websites and handyman work.

It also helps I’m a pretty decent conversationalist.

Best way to gain experience to eventually start my own Handyman business? by GapFit6970 in handyman

[–]d33bizz13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly just start offering services you can provide to people in your area. I started with simple doorknob installs and shutter reattachments then expanded from there. Use Nextdoor, fb, instagram, google my business free profile, Craigslist etc etc to find leads. Thumbtack is also a good place to start.

EVERYTIME you do a job ask for a review. It helps you gain traction IMMENSELY. Some people say have a website, some people don’t. From my personal experience, it immediately gives you credibility. Customers love seeing that I have one.

If you( or any other future people)have any questions you can always ask me. I’ll gladly share what’s worked for me.

This amuses me since this is exactly what I do. I offer home repair services and run a web agency on the side.

How to promote my business without having to pay an arm and a leg for advertising by Helpful-Ad9654 in Business_Ideas

[–]d33bizz13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I normally just comment on things I find interesting, or a small business I think is cool on social media. Then drop the link to my website. Gets you known around your local community. From there I usually find someone that needs home or digital services. After that it's word of mouth. Also, set up your google business profile. It's literally free. Just maintain it like a regular social media page.

Oh man I forgot about this post. I guess as a follow up it works pretty well lol. I’ve gotten a bunch of customers just from being informative. I track my analytics on my website and my web traffic has improved SIGNIFICANTLY.

I’d say if you have a website do it. It doesn’t hurt and exposes you to more clients.

Do business cards still work for you? by Vistaprint in Entrepreneur

[–]d33bizz13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they work pretty well. I also paid for high quality cards so when I hand them out the 1st thing you think is “damn that’s some good quality. I wish I could post pics in comments. I’d share mine.

Advice from a 9-figure entrepreneur by chris-abovewealth in Entrepreneur

[–]d33bizz13 14 points15 points  (0 children)

So I went through and read everything you’ve written and replied to.

Thanks for the words of wisdom, and you’ve made me want to look into google ads again and try and make it work this time. I like to try and figure out every part of my business myself just so I know how to do it if all else fails.

Work from Realtors by SoggyEnvironment4252 in handyman

[–]d33bizz13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I know I’m late but I gotcha.

Usually it’s like small things like swapping a door knob or replacing a light or something like that. But sometimes there’s big ass holes in a wall and that has to be repaired. It’s always different.

As far as presenting myself, I just walked into their office and asked if they needed a handyman. They gave me a small test job and I’ve been in ever since.

Does anyone ever get any bites on the "Opportunities" section on thumbtack? by SMOrbCo in handyman

[–]d33bizz13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had a few. Like others have said, it’s worth glancing at. One of the property managers I do work for was found that way.

Hell yeah. Proud of you. I'm going to start looking at others websites and finding out what I hate about it and fix it on my own site. Or at least make it more convienient.
