How to Make More Money as a Professional Handyman

30 hours per week at a labor rate of $50 per hour = $6,500 per month.

Why settle for $20 or $30 per hour when you can make substantially more? In some areas of the country independent handymen are earning $65 and more per hour. Regardless of where you live, you can increase your income substantially if you take certain steps.

Start your Handyman Business Today

Step 1: Read "Become a Handyman - A Quick Start Guide." This is an invaluable tool that includes chapters on setting your labor rates, estimating jobs to maximize your earnings, effective marketing for your business, working legally as an unlicensed handyman and protecting yourself financially. Here's what Paul T. in Boonsboro, MD wrote: "I like how you wrote it, you speak like you are talking to an old friend. I am excited about my new venture. I do handyman stuff sort of under the table for a realty firm, but now am taking this to a new honest and legal level and will be marketing to a broader audience. Thank you for your help!"

Step 2: Develop your professional image. Look at how the franchise operations go about their business. They appear to be clean, professional and efficient but they're spenging a lot of money creating and maintaining that image. Face it, to set yourself apart you'll have to spend some money too. But it doesn't have to be thousands of dollars...just spend on the right things! Invest in yourself and reap the benefits!
