I didnt charge as much as I wanted. I have to do a few jobs cheaper to prove I can do work. Everyone sees that Im younger and they expect a half ass job. So once I get a portfolio behind me, prices will go up substantially in the higher packages. On this one I charged about 120$.

Owner was ecstatic but cheap. Didnt even give me a dollar tip He tried talking me down past 120 and I just said no. I do quality work and I will charge you for it.

Congratulations Ryan! I'm sure this is the first of many. Keep the Show 'N Shines coming.

once you get a few extremely satisfied clients, they will mention it to some friends. word of mouth is the best. when someone is told by someone else that they trust very much that you do a very good job, they are more likely to be more than willing to pay whatever you ask really. it just takes time, and im doing the same thing right now. and ive got people telling their neighbors and friends about my work so im getting calls on my cel from random people, and i have done zero advertising. trust me, thats the best way, if you can afford to keep your prices low for the time being

Hey Sparkie!

Yeah that is the magic of pc speed 6 and DP Super Swirl Remover. Has to be one of the best random orbital compound ever.

Plus, there might have been a lil pc skill involved


Thanks for the comment


I have two more full details in next weekend!
