Work From Home Hanging Pictures

Posted by: Tracy M. in Creative, From Home Businesses

Many people are talented at turning plain boring rooms and homes into beautiful, cozy, delightful living, sleeping, and eating areas. Are you one of those people? When people visit your home, do they comment on the pictures hanging, or other accents in your home? Do you just love accenting your home with nice furniture, tables, and pictures, among many other accessories? I bet you see the room in your mind before you even begin your creations.

Interior design is a talent and skill not many people have. You must be highly creative, and work with a plan to create your beautiful rooms. You are probably also very organized, neat, and detail oriented.

With all of this talent and skill, why not take it outside of your home? Use the old saying, “Work, and think outside the box”. Bring your creative skills to others homes by offering a picture hanging service as a work from home business. Unbelievably, many people don’t even know how to hang a picture so it looks great and works well with a particular room. A little secret – I am one of those people! I just keep rearranging my pictures, and they never seem to look right. I would love to accent my other rooms with nice pictures, but I just don’t know what to buy or, more importantly, where to put them! Someone like you could help someone like me, and the best part is that I would pay you for it. There are thousands of people just like me – who are potential customers for you!

To begin your picture hanging service you will need to stock up on some essential tools. You might already have some or even all of them. Let’s make sure.

Tools Needed

Drill and Bits
Variety of Hanging Hooks
Hammer and Nails
Tape Measure
Pencils
Level
Step Ladder
Screwdrivers and bits
Maybe one of those cool laser level things?

You will need some snappy business cards and flyers ready. Scatter them around your local stores where people will see them. You could also have brochures that list all of your services, what they are all about, and the fees associated with them. VistaPrint has some free marketing materials for first time customers.

A website could be a great marketing tool for you as well. Get the word out by talking to other people interested in your services in various forums. Create a newsletter about picture hanging that anyone could sign up for. Make sure you make it clear on your website that the information you offer is for beginners, or those learning. You want those people there, because those could turn into your customers. You could also create online classes where you send lessons to your students via email on a regular basis, and offer one-on-one help via email and/or phone.

There are many possibilities for profits when offering a picture hanging service. Brainstorm and figure out which way of servicing would be best for you.
