Last time I was on Craigslist gigs I found a lot of people wanting their drains cleaned, and they were requesting the job be done at unusual times like 10pm or 1am.

I’m 20 years old and do this kind of thing often. Im starting to get more calls every month by referrals and let me tell you, it pays way better than the $8/hr I use to make.

I've only watched a few of this guys videos, and I already like him more than alot of others I've watched.
That price seems very reasonable and remember a lot of his work comes from referrals (like this one), If he was charging
too much then he wouldn't have gotten the job (+ additional work). I'm glad he is making a good living, at least then he is
not wasting several minutes in his videos begging for us to "like and subscribe", which annoys the piss out of me.... or have
a bunch of advertisements interrupting his videos, so he can make a few bucks!
Thank you, Mr Handyman for sharing quality videos with us. I do some handyman work and always think to myself after
I'm done, that I did not charge enough. I also would like to see what kind of tools you carry around with you.

Former HVAC contractor here. You know what truck lettering and the phonebook (old days) gets you? Aggregating, cheap, rude customers. While it brings in good customers too, it brings a lot of terrible ones unfortunately.

Also, you should charge as much as possible. There are a lot of hidden costs to running a business.

The Handyman

Instant Subscriber here on the strength of this video.
I have a struggling carpentery and painting business and your information here is giving me the confidence to succeed.
Thanks for talking about project pricing, advertising on Craigslist and taking care of your customers so they give you referrals.

The old saying “ word of mouth is the best advertisement “ is true.
It’s valuable to establish trust right away.
Thanks again.

Thanks for your channel. I'm finding your videos helpful and resonant with my experience. "Exceed their expectations", a key concept that has worked for me. I've been a handyman in a fairly rural part of the country for over 15 years. I didn't have the experience in construction that you've obviously had, but have always been up front with my customers about my skills, and ability to do the job(s), and researching how to do things I've not done before. Other contractors/handymen in this area seem not to be interested in little jobs, or the really pita jobs. And it amazed me how people really seem to like that I return calls, do what I say I'll do, or call to reschedule if something comes up and I can't get there on time. What advertising I've done is focused on communities of people, like Chamber of Commerce and church bulletins. Keep up the good work.

I like that you kept it so simple. Some people try to make too much out of nothing and it's boring to see them drag it out into this childlike lesson on something so simple. I subscribed off of that alone. I think you get it that no one likes to be talked to like an infant. Well done in case you did not realize it but I'm sure you do. Well, I should say you did something else I liked because I looked up to click subscribed and I already was subscribed so to ad a plus ill ring the bell. I'm a cancer patient and my health has been failing now found out I have lung cancer. No one cares about your problems and I have fell behind on rent and need some extra cash to keep up with rent so sick as I am I got to get my hustle on. LOL Thanks again.

The referrals thing is very true. I found my contractor from a referral and have referred him to several other people.

Im not that good fixing things, yet I find it so rewarding to be able to complete a task with your own hands! Gota thank my old man for all those times he draged me with him to help out in the family house, i thought i was only holding a flashlight for him many times, now I realize it was not only that haha.

Wow!!!! Common sense can make for a good income. I help my neighbours with odd house repairs and they are blown away with my work. When I was in public school I started cutting lawns that led to handyman jobs around the customers house. Eventually I worked on restoring log barns into houses then work doing construction on new home for summer jobs. I could never justify paying someone to fix things that took common sense to fix. I was to cheap. But after watching your channel I'm thing about a career change. Thanks

lol I am charging only $12/hr doing kind of the same thing with social media but like you said, under-promise and over-deliver! Really appreciate your great advice.

The one thing I can add is... If you tell a customer you will be there at 8am Monday... Be there at 8am... I get more work than I can do... Because of that one thing... Being there when you say you will... The Bid... Be on time... You don't know the times I got work because the other Bidders showed up late or the next 2 or 3 days... My price was the higher price in most cases... Be On Time... Or tell them it will be Next week so they can maybe get someone right out... I have got work two weeks later just calling to see if they got someone to do the work... Most of the time they say no one has even come to look at the work... That is when $$$ signs go off in my head... They want this fixed at any cost then...
