I need help making my day job V4V. I produce estimates for handyman-general contractor projects. Some commercial, but mostly residential. My company has high labor prices to cover overhead, and the labor themselves don't make as much as they should after the companies cut, the struggle of small businesses. Management I think keeps it as fair as possible but it's dog eat dog and all.
Anyway, I've been trying to figure out a model where the estimates basically get put out as high quality instructables, and/or projects get posted to local job/guild board.
There's lots of capable people that can do complex projects with the right guide, University of YouTube type mindset. So a customer with a problem could find or commission a professional scope of work, and pay the writer their fee. Then freelance labor could follow the scope.
There could be sponsor/mentor arrangements as well, theres tons of skilled trades workers aging out of manual labor that still have a ton of value to bring to the table in knowledge and tools.
