Consider putting out handwritten signs offering your services. Most of the people I know and talk to would prefer to hire the little guy to do what they need.
I bring my cars and small engine repairs to a neighbor. It's closer than any commercial shop and the government doesn't get to intrude on the transaction. He has enough business to open a commercial shop but chooses to work out of his own backyard. Additionally, I get better service and better prices.
We need to build our own separate economy, free of the government cabal.
YES! Whole-heartedly agreed! Even combining several small, occasional or part-time gigs. Non-traditional worker? Seek non-traditional work. Such is the path I've followed to this point. Will I be operating a snow-thrower this season? We'll see. THANKS, cryofreeze!
I truly hope you strike out on your own. It's more rewarding in every sense.
Quick start marketing: find the parallel contractors. If you are snow-throwing then make sure every landscaper, paver, side walk contractor, and any other services you can think of have your business card. Text them, email, or walk up and put a card in their hands. Some of them wish they knew a reliable snow guy to recommend to their clients. Some of them will hire you to sub-contract.
Treat every contractor and customer the way you wish others treated you and your business will flourish.
