When you're a skillful painter, surely you'll be recommended to clients who need's painting services. My brother is a painter, he doesn't advertise himself much, cos he knows his job. His past painting gigs are what's selling him off to get constant painting gig even during the job scarcity here for the skilled workers in our country.

One thing about doing a good job is that you would always have the recommendation you need without having to say anything. Your work speaks for you and speaks volumes. So the best bet is working as a painter to have referrals from already existing clients. It will be a lot easier this way

To be honest, skillful people don't have much problem in selling their skills. They only need recommendations from people. A painter that's very good would be recommended by many of his customers. That doesn't mean he won't also try to make sure he sells himself online by displaying most of his works on social media.

You're there bro, when we work better for our clients, by given them quality, nothing but quality. That will put us on the podium of getting more future jobs from other clients. Because the one we satisfied will surely tell another, and so on. And that's the best way we can aim for to earn regularly from our skill.

What type of painting are you talking about? House painting or picture making painting? Well I'm an artist though and I do painting and sculpture as my profession but you are right at time if you are new in the system and you don't have customers you'll really confuse either to quite or continue.

I was referring to house painting whereby a lot of painters don't necessarily have a workshop but still need to market themselves to survive. You would need different ways to meet the demands of your customers by first a availing yourself to be known. So yeah one needs to harness all avenues before quitting

Definitely the best way you can get a job with confidence is through Referrals. People tend to trust you more when someone had.refer you it shows you do good jobs. So it 8s always good to deliver quality jobs and your clients will market you for free because everyone will believe that you are good

Sure, the positive there is ability to do nice job for each one of the clients that hired us. Even though we market ourselves exponentially and failed to deliver the gig as directed or required by the client or employer, it shows we are downgraded and their is no point for the clients seeking for our services.

If this is about house painting then I had seen a cousin on how he markets his services. He would message me once or twice a month to ask if I know someone who needs a house painter. He said that it is best to tap his connections to help him promote his services. I think that is the best because we surely would help him on that.
