Expanding Your Welding Business

If welding has become a passion for you, you might have taken on small projects for friends or acquaintances. Welding can prove to be an excellent source of secondary--or even primary--income. Beginning your own welding contractor company might be the next logical step. Your next moves should include these individual welding business suggestions.

Get Certified

For clients to trust you with their metal work, your skills need to be excellent. As a self-taught welder, you may have welding skill, but you might need work on your techniques. You may need to explore different welding styles and materials so you know which are best for individual applications and jobs. You may be ignoring safety methods. A training program could be required. 

A good education will likely culminate in the opportunity to be certified. Certification credentials can boost your welding profile and convince employers to believe in your personal ability to weld. Earn certifications to secure better-paying positions in the welding industry.

Join the Union

They usually offer insurance discounts on vehicles, boats, homes and other things. If you experience conflict with clients but belong to the contractor union, your union representative can handle the situation. 

Start Video Blogging

Positioning yourself as someone who enjoys welding and excels in it can attract clients. You may not be able to meet up with prospective property owners often, but you can certainly record yourself talking about welding. Video blogging is rather popular; it permits company owners or independent contractors to interact with the public through video. You might record yourself doing some welding work, talk about how to be safe with welding machines or perform tutorials. People will warm up to you and when they need welding, you're someone they'll consider.

Partner with Complementary Businesses

To get a greater clientele base, you may need to enter into joint ventures and relationships with other small businesses. For example, you might talk with fencing contractors, fabrication shop owners and others who aren't in direct competition with you. They can send business to you without jeopardizing their own.

Thriving with your welding business is possible; with knowledge and savvy, you can onboard new clients regularly. Keep learning, start communicating and work hard; your welding company should grow.

About Me

Don't Overlook Your Home Remodeling Options

When I purchased my first home, I loved it. However, I was soon eager to move on to find a new home that would have an additional bedroom that my aging parents could live in. Once I glanced at the local houses for sale, I quickly realized that there was not one that would fit our needs at a price I could afford. I decided to speak with a local contractor to see if adding an addition to my existing home was possible and if it would fit into my relatively small budget. I was greatly surprised to find out that I could afford the addition and, eventually, my parents were able to move in with me. I learned so much about home remodeling projects during this experience that I am eager to share my advice with others who could use it on my new blog!
