Tilers Forums Official Sponsors

Nice going, you have to remember you make money with your brain, not with your hands, your brain just tells your hands what to do, however there is only so much physical work you can do in a day or a week therefore your earning potential is governed by this, the big money is made from the likes of whats been said above and add on the extras, Think like a businessman and look for alternative ways to make the money that links to what you are doing as a tiler.

I offered to run a course that would make people think differently to how to make big money like the samples above but only one person out of the whole forum was interested.

Anyway there is money to be made out there, all you need is the motivation, drive and determination and some simple pointers of how to get it, There is a lot of money out there with your name on it, just waiting to be collected, however it will not come to you, if you dont go and get it someone else will pick it up and take whats yours.

Never stop thinking of how you can add ways to make money from what you are doing, it is called link sales for example Clarks shoe shop sells shoes, but how much extra money do you think they make from selling polish, i bet it runs into millions, thats why when anyone buys a pair of their shoes the salesman are told to push the polish, or Macdonalds asking if you would like the large meal when you pay, how many just say yes that would have settled for a regular, how much will they make from the extra large price, millions, so you see you are on a smaller scale to these companies, doesnt stop you thinking like them though and making extra money that you wouldnt have got

Something for you to think about

Regards
Darren

making money is down to experience, i was once asked to look at a small local job, when i got there it was a splash back above a sink, i said to the lady of the house why didnt they try and do the job themselfs, because my husband is useless at D.I.Y was the replie.

i told her it would cost £40.00, no probs she said when can you do it, now i said got my kit out 10 mins later splash back tiled.

poped back in after work the next day to grout and was met by the husband, after the grouting was done (5mins) he turned to me and said you must earn a fortune that only took you 15mins no i said it took me 30yrs experience and 15mins

I know exactly what you mean. There is money out there with MY name on it to be earned.

After nearly losing it completely trying to do someone a favour over Christmas, I've come to the conclusion that I need to look after no 1. OK at times there are little jobs 'sweetners' I call them to be done. It's often these that pull me back for bigger jobs.

However, favours are now selectively applied. The plasterer I know is doing up a house for his landlord in lieu of cheap rent. If he needs a hand or some advice with plumbing or another trade I can work with - he gets it. On the flip side I know that if I were to spend a day plumbing in his bathroom then I would likely see a day of him plastering my house.

The plasterer has often asked me if I can get him work, even if he helps me quote for it. Essentially He's actually suggested that I go out and get the work, then get him to do it and take a cut.

To be fair I did know he'd offered to do the course, but - like his tiling courses, travelling to attend is out of the question for me. He's a bit far away 😀
 
hi cornish

glad things are on the up.
insurance work has always been a good outlet to make money. just make sure you know your business inside out!! dont run before you can walk.
use plasteres if your technique is still at the beginers level because you'll get found out otherwise, so well done for subbing it out. things look positive all of a sudden hey! ;0)

ps, pretty soon you'll be making £600-00p in a day and a half because thats how long that job should take and if you keep working at your skimming and perfecting your technique and work practice, then you'll be doing really well soon!

jobs like that dont come along every day, so make hay while the sun shines..or get in with an insurance company specialising in water damage and then you can push you tanking systems aswell as new ceiling...prevention before the cure ??... another link ;0)

all the best, its nice to see someone fighting back and having a go
