>Im in central texas
I'm sorry. I have to live near Killeen and Waco for some years while in the Army. Truly the worst place I have ever lived and that is counting Barstow, the Armpit of California. Terrible weather, no trees, garbage infrastructure, awful people, and a day drive from anywhere worth being.

Im in Austin. Its expensive but very livable.

I did HVAC for about a year and a half and wanted to start doing side jobs. Where I worked didn't pay the best, so all the guys there did some sort of side work to make their nut. They would pay us $15/hr and a side job furnace install would make them $400 in 4 hours or so.

Make an ad on Craigslist. Works really well for me. I've also concidered flyers at grocery stores and neighborhood joint mailboxes when I have more time.

Make sure you charge fairly, meaning don't sell yourself short. People want quality and depending on how you market, people will be willing to pay $100/hr+ on labor if you're licensed. I charge $60/hr as a handyman. Others charge as low as $25/hr but I always get calls any time I post. I know I'm worth more, but I also know people go to Craigslist for a better deal, so I split it down the middle, kind of. I really enjoy taking side jobs too because it allows for variety from my somewhat monotonous job.
