Odd Jobs

Using our skills for money is an excellent way to make money. If you are good at something or better than someone else, this is to your financial gain.

There are a million jobs around that want а little work done in the house but some form of knowledge to do it. People don't want to call out the professionals and get charged the earth for something that might just cost a couple of pounds to fix or do. They just want someone they can rely on who know and can do the job.

Odd jobs can be from simply fixing a leaking tap or right through to landscaping a garden, if can mean anything. If you are a good DIY person this is right up your street.

People need to know you are there so advertising can take on many forms. The cheapest is to personally go house to house offering odd jobs that you are good it or jobs that they might need doing. You can post business cards that tell your potential customers what you can do. These can be bought very cheaply and advertise yourself as an odd job expert. Don't forget to follow it up with a personal visit a few days after you have posted you cards. That is where you will get most work.

Gardening is always needed, especially in the spring so this is a good time to get started, you will find that many have their own gardening equipment such as a lawn mower for you to use anyway so there will be no financial layout needed. This will of course lead on to regular work if you do a good job.

Simple plumbing, painting and decorating is also a job that many people want but don't want to pay big buck to cowboy companies and the odd job person would be an ideal option for them to take up. Electrical work would not be advised unless you are qualified.

Even going shopping for people who are too busy is something you might offer, baby-sitting, housekeeping or cleaning. Al these are in the odd job category and open money earners if but you need to get yourself known to get the business.

Another cheap way is to put an add in the local paper or in the local shop window, again this is cheap and will get you known as an odd job person in the area. You will be surprises how many take the number and keep it in case of emergencies, you may get a call from an ad you put in a year ago.

So, look at your skills and decide what odd jobs you can offer, advertise and the money will come in. If you are good and reliable you will get referrals and more business from it. The beauty is most will be little one person jobs but of course you may want to get someone to come in with you and share the profits if you get a job that is too big for you. There’s always someone who want to earn a bit of extra dosh.
