So a few months back I was offered a rather unusual job... had to paint 2 matching signs (18" x 48") for a storefront. Custom logo & fonts on a simple 3-color faux background.
Worked on it for an hour or 2 per night for a week, and made $1500.
The interesting part of this job was that I tried to get bids from competitors to get a comparable price - but I could not find a single sign painter in my area... it seems this is a dying art. To me, this is an opportunity to get some nice, high-profit business.
Just planting a seed.
