HOW TO MAKE CASH FIXING THINGS
If you’re a repair wizard you can easily profit from your skill. People break things all the time. You can get extra cash by just helping out your peers and others. Here’s Cashtown University’s ways to make cash fixing anything from computers, videogames, electronics and more!
POST UP FLYERS
Make some simple flyers advertising your service. You can easily design one yourself or get a friend to do it for you. Just make sure you mention the following things:
-Your location
-What you can repair
-The price range per repair
-Any past experience or qualifications
-Average timeframe per repair
-Your guarantee
-And of course, your contact information
MAKE BUSINESS CARDS
A little business card can make a big difference. You might hand off a business card to someone that might not require your service, but know people who could use a repair or two. He might refer your service to his friends and pass your card off to them.
CLASSIFIED ADS
There are free classified ad spaces on the internet, and you might even find some in your local newsletter. Or you can just pay to be listed in your state’s newspaper, as well as the phone book. You’ll get a boost in business in no time. Anything that’ll get the word out about your business is a must!
DIRECT MAILING
Consider mailing a brochure to several small companies. Off your repair services for costs that compete with the other repair services in your area. Maybe you’re the only repair business in your city. They’ll be likely to contact you for repairs rather than getting a repair business that’s miles away. When companies see your brochure, they’ll definitely consider your service. Include the same information you put on your flyer and maybe even some photos.
MAKE A WEBSITE
Create a site to offer your services worldwide. You can target local clients or have overseas customers ship you their broken items for you to repair. Set up some sort of payment system on your site, like PayPal. You can easily reach people locally through Facebook, Craigslist, and even MySpace.
THINGS TO REMEMBER
If you can’t fix it, don’t risk it! Let customers know if you can’t fix their item. Be honest about what you’re capable of.
Don’t over charge. If you’re a new service provider, your biggest advantage will be charging less for your service.
Consider expansion! You can start a handy man network once you get familiar with the business. If you know a few other repair wizards, find the customers for them and take a percentage of their pay. This is a good idea, especially if you feel overwhelmed with work. Plus, you’ll be making money without even doing any work!
It’s simple as that! Get started providing repair services today! What better than making a profit by fixing people’s mistakes? After all, no one’s perfect!
