Are you an experienced jackhammer operator who wants to get away from a daily nine to five grind? Do you specialize in the operation of a specific type of jackhammer? Perhaps you prefer to use a hydraulic or electric jackhammer, or maybe a pneumatic drill is your jackhammer of choice?

Improper use of a jackhammer puts an inexperienced person at extreme risk for personal injury, thus it is not recommended that just anyone buy themselves this (expensive!) equipment and try to perform this task themselves. People in your area are in dire need of professional jackhammer operators who can properly perform specific tasks that they cannot safely perform themselves.

In many cases, the people who need these services performed for them only need them for a small portion of a project or for a short period of time. And even when the project is larger and requires more time of a jack hammer operator, they have no wish to spend the money to keep one on staff at all times. This is where you come in! Your time and abilities as a professional jackhammer operator are valuable and in demand!

It might be very easy to overlook the residential tasks that would require or benefit from the use of a jackhammer, such as the removal of a landscaped pathway or driveway. However, don't forget, for someone without a jackhammer or the knowledge necessary to use one, this task would seem quite daunting and might be given up as an impossibility. However, knowing that you are available to offer your professional services, they would readily undertake their home improvement projects, without fear of injuring themselves or having to give up the project half finished because they lack the skills and equipment to complete it.

Once you decide to forgo the daily grind and strike out on your own, your first plan of action will be to get yourself in touch with the people who are looking for you! You could advertise your services on your own website listing the skills you are able to offer, any areas of expertise, as well as a set fee per hour. Some have offered their services to the highest bidder on eBay or other auction sites. While this may not be a permanent way to advertise your services, it would put your name and abilities in front of a wider range of customers, many of whom would have no previous knowledge that such a service was even available to them!

No matter which media you choose to use to advertise your jackhammer operator services (online or off), be sure to provide a local phone number as well as email address so that your potential customers can request estimates or ask about specific details of the services you are available to offer. Also, be sure to list the localities that you would be willing to travel to and when you are generally available to perform these tasks.

You may also want to advertise your per-hour services by running a visible ad in a local phone directory, list your business with an online business directory, also by printing up flyers and posting them in places where professionals and nonprofessional people in your area (who would be more likely to need your services) would more likely frequent. Be sure to include popular lunch places and coffee shops! Most post offices and grocery stores also have bulletin boards that they will allow you to place an advertisement on. Be sure to take advantage of any public bulletin boards in your immediate area to find the people who are looking for you and your services. In no time at all, you will have built up a large clientele base, many by word of mouth as they witness your professional services in action!
