Prosper Painting

People are always looking for someone to paint the inside and outside of their home. Now with spring here you may get more and more jobs.

Most people are busy at work and with their children so they do not have the time to paint besides get all of their household chores completed.

Some people may want you to add a texture to their walls in a room. There are textures such as sponge painting, feather painting, and more. Nowadays you can even find paint rollers that create these effects for you. Talk about making your job simple. Discount stores such as Wal-Mart and hardware stores carry these paint rollers. I used a two tone paint roller and the results were fantastic. It was super easy to do and people complimented my walls. They thought I hired someone to do the effect.

Businesses may need to hire you to paint their walls in the evening and/or on the weekends. You may have to bid on a contract against other people who paint.

Advertising
It would be wise to create a website and/or blog online to promote your painting business. Use keywords on your website and/or blog to bring your page rankings higher on search engines. You need to be on page one of Google, Yahoo, etc., to get business through your website online, i.e., you will get more traffic to your website by being on page one.

It would be wise to type in the keyword of where you live so you will get business from people who live in your area.

Add your name to fund raisers in your neighborhood as your name will be posted on signs, brochures, t-shirts, etc.

Of course you can advertise in the newspapers in your area. Once you paint a few houses or businesses word of mouth will spread your name around, too.
