How to Turn Your Skills into Income: A Guide for Lebanese Handymen

In Lebanon's ever-changing economy, skilled workers like electricians, plumbers, painters, and general handymen hold immense potential—but often struggle to find consistent work. At Shghilni, we believe your craftsmanship should bring you stable income and recognition.

1. Understand Your Market

Many Lebanese families, businesses, and landlords are constantly seeking reliable help for maintenance and repair. Your skills are in demand more than you think!

2. Build an Online Presence

Even without a website, having a profile on platforms like Shghilni allows clients to discover your services, view your past work, and contact you instantly.

3. Stay Professional

Small things like arriving on time, wearing a clean outfit, and following up after the job can make a big difference. Word-of-mouth in Lebanon spreads fast—make sure your reputation works in your favor.

4. Offer Transparent Pricing

Clients appreciate knowing what to expect. Be honest and consistent with your rates. Shghilni allows you to post your pricing or offer free quotes.

5. Expand Your Services

Think about offering more than one service—electrical repairs plus TV installations, for example. Versatility can bring in more jobs.
