- Hello everyone, in this video I’m talking about different ways, tips, tricks, and secrets to finding work when your just starting out. How to advertise, how to approach potential clients and so on PLEASE, if you like my videos subscribe to my channel, like the video and leave me a comment. I always look forward to having conversations both with new rig welders and experienced rig welders. So join the team, learns something and teach something, until the next video guys get out and get better
I had a welding business for 7 years -- I disagree about finding a "niche". I would do just about any type of welding. I would say in order of frequency from most to least would be the following: architectural, food service, trailer repair, general maintenance, and lawn care equipment.
I really wanted to watch this video and get some knowledge but after about half a second of that loud beeping couldn't watch no more
One good place I found my first few jobs was for the local fire department and EMS. They are always tearing up and modifying service vehicles.
heck yeah man. a lot of these younger guys on here can definitely learn a thing or two from this video. I'm currently in a slow time right now but a lot of what you said has been how I started. I built like 35 flights of stairs with an old Hobart stickmate running off a portable generator. I too am also a mobile guy and everyone that calls me with all sorts of machining work I send to the welding shop down the road. they sometimes give me customers that want mobile work done.
Hey man thanks for all the advice. I’ve been looking at starting a mobile welding business and at first I was hell bent on putting myself into a whole with buying either a miller or Lincoln but after watching 3 of your vids, I’ve decided to put myself on an absolute must stick to CASH budget challenge.
Your video just popped up on my home screen. Great advice. I sub's yah..I plan to do some binge watching this weekend. Keep burning it up.
This is a great video,been looking into starting my own welding truck on the weekends! Also Im your 100th sub lol
Ain’t nothing to small or to big for me I’m in HVAC you can call me for couple ceiling grille change outs or maybe a gas heater has a dirty flame rod to a full blown re duct an new air handler an outdoor unit etc if the pay I play
looking to pull the trigger on a mobile welding job, scared to jump in without having a customer base built up, good info
I’m trying to start my own mobile welding service. I’m 17 year old welding with my own welding machine. It’s not the biggest but it gets the job done. It’s a Miller Multimatic 215. I do have access to a Lincoln Electric Ranger, but have no way of transporting it as I’m srill building a trailer for it. Finding work is hard I think that it’s me being young and people being skeptical about someone so young providing services like this. I am making a business card not with a company name, but with my name, information and skills I have and where to find work I’ve already done. I’ve built trailers, done some repairs and uses a plasma cutting table to cut out whatever people want. I’m not looking to make a fortune right now I’m looking for experience and then the money.
I'm interested in these websites you spoke of. It kind of sounded like a version of U-SHIP for welding. I'm looking to get some side work going to get my name out there. I'm coming from the gas industry into food grade Stainless TIG and loving it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Austin, nice video
I'm 15 I go to a trade school i love welding I've been doing it since 6th grade. I've done a welding competition for skills USA. I'm about to go to the high school competition for tulsa welding school. But I dont have my own machine yet, but I am about to buy a miller 220. My goal is to open my own fab shop. My welding instructor has his own shop and i want to work for him but he lives almost an hour away so I can't.
hey, I'm 31 years old and I've made a choice to learn the art of welding after years of being in the dead end work of cooking for 13 years...
I just subscribed 👨🏭
I'm a welder who has brain damage with a couple disabilities and I've been thinking about getting into a mobile welding business of my own. Not sure what would be best for my abilities I've developed up to this point, especially since I do have disabilities that makes some things more difficult for me compared to others
Austin : Great video with good encouragement for beginners. I found your video's from reading Austin Ross's comments. I had to leave your video after a while because I was getting dizzy from the thing swinging on your mirror. I would sure move it to the seat for your future videos. It's very distracting to what you have to say.
I just got out of welding school and I’m a level 2 with one ticket I’ve looked at a couple fabrications shops that turned out to be crap and I couldn’t apprentice so I’m thinking of going mobile I live in a city and wondering how do I get out there or even get a job it is currently winter here
Hey guys I live in the mid Florida area with mig, tig, Aluminum spool gun. I can do Sanitary Welding, decorative welding repair work etc. I am a new business so any advice would help. Peace and blessings.
