I moved to Vegas a few years ago from San Diego. I am a very experienced and extremely talented welder (ask me, I will tell you) ha ha. I have been fabricating custom trailers, roll cages, pre runners, racks, carts, etc. But always part time as I am a glazier by trade. I have enough equipment to open a shop and/or set up a good mobile unit. My biggest concern is making that transition into going full time. I don't advertise, I pick up work by word of mouth and it is usually feast or famine. I am wondering if any of you have any advice on advertising cheaply. I am also having trouble deciding which direction to go. I think that I need to decide on a "bread and butter" niche and then take on the rest as it comes. But the work I get now is so diverse I can't decide which way to go. I sell a lot of custom carts and racks for some of the local glass shops. Thinking that might be the way to start, but I also do pretty good with the trailers. Any advice would be much appreciated
Thank you
