Weekend side "business"

[Missile]

I've always been an outdoors type of man. My father and I used to split firewood when I was a young boy and I cut my own firewood (with an axe) every time I bbq which is often being I live in Texas. What I'm getting at is I've used a chainsaw for quite some time now and I feel very comfortable using one. To make long story short, I would like to use my experience to make me some extra money on weekends. I'm needing some help as to how to advertise myself. What type of tasks/jobs should I start with? Please no smart ass answers. I'm just trying to make a little extra money. Thanks!

I have one chainsaw with an 18" bar with a sharp chain and a Chevy truck.

Look up 'arborist' online or in a dictionary.

That will give you some idea of what type of task/jobs arborist know how to do.

Start with the ones you know how to do.

I would scrap the idea Paul Bunyan idea and think about opening a BBQ side business. Do something you enjoy and won't potentially get you injured or killed.

Having an AX and a chainsaw as your go-to will limit your work immensely. Do you know your tree ID? Are you going to be insured? You'll get a lot of calls for work that is beyond what you're capable of doing-and customers will either think you a). Have no idea what you're doing or b). Think your operation is too insufficient to trust. Save your reputation-get some real training. A good entrepreneur doesn't have to go to an Internet forum asking how to advertise. Dream big, plan realistically.

Knowing a thing or two about tree work before you start advertising might be a good idea
