Better Than Painting

noreply@blogger.com (painting business guy) — Wed, 04 Dec 2013 20:18:00 +0000

Without a doubt, a painting business is a top business opportunity for many of us who don't have a trade and want to go into business instantly. Not only is it an easy, low-cost business to start but the money can be twice as good as a job right out of the gate. And it gets better the longer you paint.
But even if you are a painting contractor with 25 painters...

Painting Business - How To Make More Money With Painting Tools

noreply@blogger.com (painting business guy) — Wed, 27 Nov 2013 15:47:00 +0000

I've never bought a painting tool that I didn't wind up using over and over again and that didn't make me more money.

I just finished up a commercial painting job where I needed scaffolding. It is the indoor type which is smaller than normal scaffolding and comes complete with wheels.

I sometimes need it for ceilings in people's homes. I used to rent it by the week for around $100 but now that I own my own scaffolding I can charge the extra $100 for the extra effort of loading it and setting it up. So now it can pay for itself over and over again.

This is how to make more money with tools. Having the right tools makes any job easier and turn out better. The best painting tool for starting a painting business is a manual that shows how to estimate and advertise like a pro. ==> http://Painting-Business.com

How NOT to Start a Painting Business

noreply@blogger.com (painting business guy) — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 14:47:00 +0000

Wanting to know how to start a painting business? Don't do it like I did it and most people do it. Like many others, I started mine the hard way. I did it the slow way. I learned through trial and error. I did it that way mainly because no other painters wanted to give up any of their trade secrets. They didn't want anyone else to make any money as a self-employed house painter.

Doing estimates was rough in the beginning. I had no idea what I was doing. I used to even feel guilty if I made more money than expected on a job. Finally at one point I figured out how to estimate painting jobs using systems. All of a sudden I was making better money and feeling justified in my bids as well!

Because I knew my estimates were correct I walked away knowing that if I get the job I will make a good profit and I still do today. Going it alone without any help from other skilled painting business owners is NOT the way to start a painting business. http://Painting-Business.com

How To Start A Business - 5 Questions To Ask Yourself

noreply@blogger.com (painting business guy) — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 03:35:00 +0000

Want to know how to start a business? Here are some questions to ask yourself. You may think of some better ones:

1.) What Are You Good At? Everyone is better at some things than others.
2.) What Do You Enjoy Doing? Find something you are naturally good at and love to do and it will be fun work for you.
3.) What Can You Do To Serve Others And Have Fun Doing It? We must all serve one another. There is no such thing as something for nothing.
4.) Can You Get Started Without A Lot Of Capital? You don't want the added stress of debt on your shoulders.
5.) Where Can I Get Customers? This is actually the easiest part. Once you figure out where the customers are it is just a matter of making them an offer that will attract them.

I started my own painting business years ago simply because painting is what I knew how to do (or at least I thought I did). Fortunately, I do love to paint. Some projects more than others. Here is how to can start your own painting business: http://Painting-Business.com

How to Start a Small Business From Home - 3 Points To Consider

noreply@blogger.com (painting business guy) — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 21:06:00 +0000

If you want to know how to start a small business from home you simply need to ask yourself 3 main questions: Where, When and How.

1.) WHERE are all the target customers located? - How to get all the customers you need is important. Most people new to business don't have a clue or aim at the wrong crowd. If you are already asking yourself this question you are halfway there.
2.) WHEN does the money come in? - When will you see a paycheck is another. Will your small business produce immediate income? Multiple income streams? Residual income?
3.) HOW much do I charge? - This is very important to know. Most people grossly under charge for their goods and services.

When I first started my painting business I had no clue to getting customers or how much to charge. I roughed it for a long time because I didn't know who I could turn to for advice and most other painters were keeping it a secret. I wish I had this course back then: http://www.painting-business.com/

Small Business Start Up - How To Find Customers

noreply@blogger.com (painting business guy) — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 18:45:00 +0000

Any small business start up can instantly be profitable as long as you have customers giving you cash on a daily basis or as fast as you can accept it. Many people know pretty much everything they need to know about running their business except for when it comes to getting more customers. With all the media choices out there it can get confusing. So which one is perfect or the fastest for your local business? Maybe this technique will help: http://unlimitedleadsforever.com/

Start A Painting Company - Does One Have To Have Painting Experience

noreply@blogger.com (painting business guy) — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 04:22:00 +0000

Does one have to have painting experience to start a painting company? Not really but it does help of course. I say that because I thought I new all about painting when I first started my company. But I really didn't know much at all let alone running a business.

The real question is do you like to paint? But even that doesn't really count because when I first started out I just wanted my own business and painting seemed to be what I had the most experience in. I do love to paint though. Some jobs more than others of course. But the biggest challenge for new painters is getting work and knowing how to estimate correctly. If you can do those two things you have it made.

Painters Directory - Are They a Waste of Time?

noreply@blogger.com (painting business guy) — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 15:25:00 +0000

Whenever I think about being listed in a painters directory I think "BORING"! All my career as a painter I have mostly gone after prospects and not waited for them to come to me. Paid advertising can work well also but you cannot just rely on it by itself. This is where direct marketing fills the voids. Directories sound like a stagnate dead zone in my opinion. I would never pay to be in one unless it was awfully specialized. Need estimating and advertising help? Please visit http://www.painting-business.com/

Starting a Painting Business - The 3 Things You Need

noreply@blogger.com (painting business guy) — Fri, 23 Mar 2012 15:08:00 +0000

Starting a painting business is not as difficult as some may lead you to believe. I started out with a handful of tools from my garage, an old step ladder and I borrowed an extension ladder when I needed it. I didn't even have a work truck yet. I worked out of the trunk of my car and nobody even noticed.

There are 3 Things You Will Need.
1.) A few basic tools to get started.
2.) Know how to get jobs.
3.) Know how to estimate.

I went about it the hard way on estimating in my first few years, but you won't have to.

Interior Painting - Flashing Problems

noreply@blogger.com (painting business guy) — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 15:43:00 +0000

I had a fellow painter e-mail me the other day with an interior painting problem.

He wrote:

Hi Lee,

I was wondering if you could help me with a simple issue? Every time I do spackling on small holes and I paint over it with eggshell or any kind of sheen paint , the paint is always a different sheen in the area where I spackled. Even when I use primer it happens. What can I do to make it so that there are no sheen differences in the final coat of paint? Thank you.

I wrote back:
Hi Vince,
Yeah, they call that "flashing". That is exactly why I don't use spackle anymore. I use drywall compound in the powder form that I can mix right on the job. It won't flash and you can go over it with just paint when dry.
