Here is my business channel. How I get my customers, how much I charge, how much I have to pay in taxes. I have been self employed doing home repairs and remodels for 13 years. ua-cam.com/channels/MDrLJJDIhcXjSYrPy5iOrg.html
I just left a comment with a question could you check it out
Does dirt and grease from your fingers affect the life of a light bulb? Does it matter if you clean the bulb off with a cloth?
@@JayZoop That's really only an issue with halogen bulbs.
Awesome! Just have to find 70 new clients every single week to do this. Totally feasible for 1 man.
I’ll take this one. He’s being sarcastic
Even better if they all live in the same street.
Gosh damn, no kidding. It’s easy when you have 300k subscribers on UA-cam. Not saying this guy hasn’t earned it cuz he’s great at what he does. But it hard for us non youtubers
You gotta start somewhere but this is good money and fairly simple
This was more helpful as a tutorial video 😂
Got my home security in several drawers around the house 😉
Lol
It’s nice to have something alert you to an intruder so you have time to get to your guns. The average home invasion takes place in seven seconds from the time the door is breached to the time they are shooting your family! How long does it take you to wake up in a deep sleep!?
Door Armor is another great product you can install on any door, takes 1,200 lbs of force to kick the door in compared to 50 lbs of force my daughter can generate to kick in any door!
If and when you do shoot the intruder it’s nice to have an interior Ring Camera to capture the footage for court so you don’t get locked up for 30 to life😉
@@aaronsalvesen4553 your daughter can't kick in a solid core front door lmao. It takes more than 50 lbs of force.
Judged on one good day and not counting the other 80% bad days.
This guy took a profitable and successful handy man business and turned it into a whole enterprise with the merch, youtube channel, instagram, ads, etc...Brilliant! Kudos to him!
I feel like you're getting more detailed in your videos. Really helps out. Thanks!
Glad you like them!
I expect nothing less from the #1 home improvement channel in the universe!
What makes it number 1?
Looks like he's updated how he does his videos, after I last watched him years ago, and complained that he wasn't actually describing how he was doing the repairs.
I have a Nest Hello doorbell, purchased 2-1/2 years ago and installed myself. My mechanical indoor chime recently stopped working. I assumed it was the chime connector that came with Nest and mounts inside the chime box. I called Google and they sent me a new connector free of charge. Still didn't work so I assumed it must be the transformer. Did some research and learned other people had the same problem and corrected the issue by purchasing a 24v transformer. I should have tested my 16v transformer first with a multimeter but I went ahead and upgraded to a 24v transformer. Nope, chime still not working. So.... I think to myself it has to be the mechanical chime. I did some research and found there was only one mechanical chime I could find on Amazon that claimed to be compatible with a 24v transformer. I bought it for $15 and replaced the old chime. Still not working! Guess what? I finally discovered I had the indoor chime turned off in the Nest app on my phone! I felt like an idiot! I guess I have a backup chime and transformer now! Maybe this comment will help someone learn from my own mistake.
lol.Nice read thanks
😂😂😂. Sometimes it be the simplest thing we do not think of.
Noob
@@cesaredwuardsperezrobles5458 Really Noob, I only hear from kids. Sounds like someone play roblox...hahaha
You didn't do it in was the update on your phone
Came across your channel about a week ago and have been binge-watching your videos whenever I get the chance. Wayyy more entertaining than anything on Netflix, and I've already gained some practical knowledge and got a refresher on some things I've done in the past. Keep up the awesome content!
Thanks for the nice comment. 🍺👍
Most useful tool is a multimeter. Most smart door bells require 18-24v so it comes in handy at every job otherwise the customer will be calling you back. Always carry extra transformers (hard wired or plug in) and be prepared to go into spider infested basements or dusty attics to locate the transformer. All in all easy money but I’m constantly going out to customers home to re do a job a random electrician or DIYselfer attempted. The fun installs are front a rear door bells to a chime. FYI that’s a fair price for a install. We charge $99 and $50 extra for a transformer replacement and chime replacement. 👍🏽
Something to keep in mind depending on what brand you get and how old your home is you might have to get a new transformer that does 16vac 30va.
I put in a ton of the ring doorbells and floodlight cameras, so many that ring might be looking for a cut of the install profits😂 I really like the ring stuff- can see live video without paying the cloud fee... only have to pay the fee if you want to be able to look at past videos. The motion sensors are light years ahead of any regular flood light motion setup. I recommend staying away from the ring doorbells that have a battery- even if hardwired to a transformer it only charges the battery so eventually ud be replacing the battery- stick with the ring pro hardwired doorbell- no battery to fuss with
The battery version isn't bad, lasts a good 3 or 4 months and the app let's you know when to charge it.
Installed a Ring doorbell with my dad and brother about a month ago. Powered it off a 24v transformer we had from work leftovers. I dunno how we've lived without one, this thing is so much fun to have. Spying out over the front porch looking out at the road like I'm up in my fortress gazing down on all the peasants. Love it lol.
I was always busy, but in one of your vids you said, take the job and do it the way they want it done. Don't say, 'I don't do it like that.' I adopted this motto and $$$. Thanks handymon
I'm opting for a 6 POE camera system instead. Installed one for my Father in December. About $591 delivered with tax. Excellent quality with 24/7/365 DVR and also phone app connectivity as well with motion alerts and other features.
I prefer just keeping the two wires and having to touch them together to ring the doorbell... way cooler than any other doorbell on the market
Same here... just my doorbell uses 120v...
Normally I would agree with a stance like this, doing things the tried and true way. But a ring/security cam doorbell is such an easy and effective way of adding some home security. So don’t know what you two are going on about
Yea most people just install these for their friends and family For free 1200$/day 😂😂 for a useless service
Sounds like a liability lawsuit.
@@YOGITHABEARv2 it’ll be alright
I thought it might be strange that I do the same type of things you do all day then come home and watch you do them. Now I'm watching you while I'm working, I might have an addiction 🤣 Merry Christmas Handyman!
But how much do you make a day?
Get back to work boy.
I cracked up when you said, "if these two [wires] touch, the doorbell will ding-dong inside" lol
I never thought I’d be so entertained watching a guy install a doorbell. But here I am. Good work.
By the way. I don’t plan on installing a doorbell anytime soon. I was still entertained.
Yessir, I've been installing a lot of ring and wyze doorbells, floodlights and security cams as well as ecobee and nest smart thermostats inside.
Hey how can I get started?
I started out on Amazon Home Services, Facebook and Next Door. You can also try to send out targeted mailers or post ads in the clubhouse / newsletter in 55+ communities. If you consistently do a great job in 55+ communities you're gold to the residents.
this is sweet. i think my favorite part is when you say "it's the number 1 home improvement channel in the entire world." i think leaning into that would be a good idea.
I would of had a microfiber cloth and dusted out the light as you said all I am here for is to change a light bulb. 10 seconds to do a dusting inside/outside the glass and it would of been a job done right , you chose to skimp on 10 seconds. Even if the glass needed window cleaner, it would of been 1 minute to grab it from the truck and do it right. You chose to skimp. You can even charge them for the extra 3 minutes it would of taken, but you chose to skimp. What will that light look like in another 2 years, because you chose to skimp?
I wouldn't give this guy $1.200 a day for doing a job doesn't matter how good he is
Neal. Plenty of people will and that's why he has THE NUMBER ONE HANDYMAN UA-cam CHANEL IN THE WORLD! He doesn't fiddle around with people who won't pay high prices for quality work and trustworthiness. Accept it.
I use task rabbit to get clients now, and I only make around 1000 a month off of that app even tho it’s a side gig.
Point of note you always do the power regulator piece inside the chime. It regulates the correct constant power so not to blow the circuit/transformer or doorbell
I'm a software developer, and I'm gonna switch to Doorbell Camera Installer & light bulb replacer, so I can make more money ! Great video bro !
I installed my Ring door bell about 2 years ago and I love it.
As a professional Handyman in Reno NV, Rock Solid Handyman Services LLC, I bartered with a customer on a 30 min job to get my New/used Ring. LOVE IT!!!
Hmmm. I think that’s the one that goes back to a server in China. It basically gives the Chinese government access to your home network. Not good!
The screw drops, your heart drops, then the sigh of relief that it didn't go into the abyss.
Hahaha… i know the feeling, specially when you’re on a 🪜
Im an electrician from sweden. I know the feelling with those tiny screws falling down between the planks or whatever. Great video! :)
Wow! Patting yourself on the back for ripping people off. What a guy!
Handyman, doing his annual boosting of the numbers in the last month! lol
Hard breathing after screwing 2 small screws
Thank you for these videos, I'm a handy woman well mostly work on upholstery and wood but your channel helps in so many ways , thank you.
Was installing a ring on the exact same house, the angle of camera view wasn't perfect so I cut 45 degree 2x4 that I screwed before that lock. My neighbor loves it
It's crazy seeing these newer videos with simple or relatively simple projects, compared with the ones a couple back where you're basically building an entire house..adding rooms, building bathrooms, etc. from 0!
Things are about to change next month. Back to the salt mines for the handyman. Building a master bedroom suite with bathroom.
@@TheHandyman1 wow. that stuff is amazing, looking forward to seeing them. Also, this video got me motivated to hardwire our ring doorbell to the house. And I never was a handy person, but this video helped a lot and I feel super accomplished. Thanks, handyman.
me watching this video at 5am in the morning makes me think I should sort myself out
Customer: How many Benjamins does it take to change a Light Bulb?
Handyman: Yes
You know your handyman is good , when he is wearing rolex while installing doorbell cameras :D
Well when you're making $1,200 a day ya gotta flex a lil on these 🏡 owners!
I bet the handyman has more cash in his bank account than the homeowner. Don’t be fooled by the old 🥾 and dusty 🧢.
Ring doorbells come with angle mounts and you can stack them to increase the angle.
They make one that is power-over-ethernet, too. Bit more complicated install.
Rings are also battery powered, hence that bottom set screw. Keeps the battery from being removed. (It’s also a torx in my experience, which most people don’t have lying around)
@@Landoftheignorant the Ring doorbell comes with a torx screwdriver just for this purpose.
@@TrustTheScience It was meant as “torx isn’t common to the thief”
Great content as usual Handyman! My business(Rock Solid Handyman Services LLC RENO NV) has made probably 4 times the money i used to make as a General Contractor, just by following your simple advice! Thanks for that!💰💰💰
Thats awesome.
New fan here, I've been watching a lot of your videos. I love them because you show from the easiest to the hardest ones. You are blessed with years of knowledge and skills, thank you for sharing your videos.
Thanks and welcome
So many brand and many specs ... most of them work on 2,4ghz wifi bandwidth so make sure your select the right one folks. Always a pleasure to watch you handyman. From Montréal Canada ;-)
As a Professional Handyman in Reno NV, Rock Solid Handyman Services LLC, I bartered with a customer on a 30 min job to get my New/used Ring. LOVE IT!!!
I have Ring doorbell. A lot of different settings. You can change the distance and angles for the sensors to watch. Always know when I have a package delivered or the neighbors are gettong a little nosey. $3 a month also gets you unlimited storage of anything that is recorded. Not a sponsor. Just happy with my purchase.
UA-cam took so many years in recommending me your channel.
Loving each of the Video I've watched today
Here in India, I am handyman for my home, but people don't pay even 10$ for setting up a Video Door Bell 😭😭 LoL
Anyways keep up the good work 🙏🙏👍👍
I have the number 200 yard improvement channel in the entire world. Gives me room for improvement.
I recently changed my outdoor lights. The new ones had a built-in photo sensor, with no separate switch option. I didn't want the hassle of the sensor dictating to me when I can use my lights, so before installing I disconnected it and bypassed it so it's just lights only, like a basic unit. Now even if the sensor get dirty or faulty, I can still use the lights.
Heim is german for home
i know, absolutely necessary information
I love your videos. I own few homes and your videos helped me to remodel and fix my homes. Thanks for your help. happy New Year.
Doorbell cams seem cool. I can see why they would be needed in some places. I'm glad I live in the middle of nowhere on top of a mountain where they are not needed.
I just want a b side roll for all the tiny lil screws dropped, or major mistakes and fixes lol love the videos man, bout to move and have a situation where I can start my own thing and not work for anyone, so I’ve watched all your stuff in preparation
Somehow I missed the #1 Home Improvement UA-cam Channel in the entire world. ..Until today. Glad I caught you. Subscribed! Excellent video! Look forward to seeing where you go from here. The bar has been set hahaha :)
I’ve been trying to do this recently, great timing
Hey are you still getting into this?
Day 17 of asking Handyman to say Howdy in the intro.
Your hussle game is on point!
I'm totally a newb when it comes to home repair - however after watching several of your videos, I'm thinking I know a lot more about home repair that I initially thought. ;)
Is it really that difficult to type two more letters?
Great video! You always educate and entertain! Thx! Happy Holidays to you and your family and all the Handyman Followers! John 😎👍
I have the ring and it senses everything .works vary well .glad I installed it.
We got the ring last year during black fri. I installed myself, and it has been working great ever since. I really like the neighborhood app, and most of my neighbors got one after all the porch pirates. Now, if we could just get ups to hit the damn button.
Love listening to him talk to himself, good to know other people are crazy like me... 🤪
I use ring devices. Live in 155 yr old house so battery powered cams and lights are great. Most customers would prob prefer hard wired. I charge batteries usually on a Sat when I’m working around the house.
Love me some doorbell installs.
Hahaha the panic noise when you dropped the screws!! Classic man stuff!
I'm a new viewer and it was a good, informative video but I'm confused on the title. Is he saying he charged $1,200 for this job or is he saying that if you did like ten of these that you could make $1,200 a day? Or is he just making fun of clickbait? Its not really addressed in the video.
If you read the title again. It says PER DAY NOT per doorbell.
Great work and thanks for the awesome content stay safe and take care
If you watch the video in reverse is him preparing for this video🤣
It's actually $200 from customers and one grand from UA-cam subscribers.....
UA-cam is about $1,400 to $2,000 per day.
$1200 , why you rippin people off
I started with the G4 Doorbell from Ubiquiti, it connects wirelessly to your Ubiquiti home network. In my case I bought into the whole system and installed cameras and access points. The router/nvr/switch stored all the footage on a local hard drive and I don't have to pay cloud fees. Ubiquiti - Simplifying IT
I love this video. Am fixing to start my own business
Bought the Wyze cameras and door sensors. Been very happy with them and I can get 7 days of HD playback with a 128g sd card.. Also, I work nights, so no doorbell at my casa.
I have done quite a few of those doorbells. Have a merry Christmas!
Bro your awesome 👊 seriously your very straight forward
Quietly “transformer”
Sometimes those exterior lights photocell functions can be toggled on and off by flicking the light switch twice.
Replaced our bell with a wireless one, but our wired bell had three wires. Clipped them and the bell went off. Fun party trick to show the kids. I still don’t know why it had three wires, though.
My name is Chad, Do you have any tips for someone who is about to start a handyman business, I was previously a full time reseller i owned a estate liquidation business for almost 10yrs and now i am completely out of the reselling business and i am about to start a local handyman business here in Gainesville Florida. I am sort of OCD about doing things and i am trying to do everything right or at least to the best of my ability to began with so i stumbled upon your channel and was blown away by your business and work ethic. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
More tips then you will know what to do with on my business youtube channel. ua-cam.com/channels/MDrLJJDIhcXjSYrPy5iOrg.html
I have a Ring door bell, but I prefer Nest, because it records 24/7 and that’s what you want. The Ring WILL MISS what you want to see. Anyways. I had to recharge the Ring very often. So what I end up doing was buying a plug-in transformer from Amazon, just search Plug in transformers for Ring or Nest. Connect the transformer to the Ring Drill a hole through the garage wall and plug it in.
Damn porch pirate hit us last week I need me one of them
The doorbell doesn't catch anybody it just takes a video of them dummy
I've installed 2 of those for customers. Pretty cool item.
OLD LEATHER SMITH here been watching U 4 quite a while, learned a lot, I WOULD LIKE 2 WISH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A SAFE AND HEALTHY NEW YEAR GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃
I bought a ring last year and it sucked. returned it.. This year I got a Eufy 2k doorbell. I love it . awesome picture and easy setup. Only cons is 4 gb memory on board so if they steal the doorbell all your footage goes with it
Wonder how long you could go with out deleting your recordings before it would run out of space? Just curious
@@randyman8984 well I just looked at the app and I started recording on NOV 12 and its still going now dec 23
How many days of video can the included 4GB eMMC built-in storage save in the most common usage scenarios?
The doorbell has a 4GB eMMC built-in storage, which can store up to 30 days of video, assuming you’re recording 30 videos a day and 30 seconds of each video. This is more than enough in most cases. Actual duration varies depending on the recording frequency and video length.
@@mib20000 thanks for the info
Holy cow! $1200 a day! Sign up for that 30yr mortgage, college fund, might as well get a Lambo. Wonder how much anybody is making installing ring doorbell’s six years from now
Doorbells are a pain in the ass! Who agrees!
My doorbell is in the same position I didn't know there was something angled. Going to get this little number and give it a try Thank you!!!!!
Merry Christmas! I just installed Ring.
I have a ring doorbell, had to turn the motion off. Even on the lowest setting it would pick up cars driving past. Drove me crazy. But they’re a cool little device. Merry Christmas handyman
You're my hero The Handyman!
I use the RING doorbell and cameras. I really like to use them, and I have them for several years.
I install home security systems daily and a doorbell camera on just about every install. They aren’t that hard and I sure as hell don’t make 1200 a day unless I upsell a lot of additional protection for the house. Doorbell cameras are stupid easy to install and it’s kinda crazy how scared homeowners are to install them themselves. It takes 15 min max and couldn’t be easier. I install sky bell and ring all the time and as long as the doorbell rings inside when you touch wires together they just about always work without changing wiring. And most modern doorbells have a setting to change from analog to digital for if it just ding dongs inside or plays an actual chime. I’ve been doing them nearly 8 years. But I absolutely agree doorbell cameras are a must have and if you don’t have one you need to invest in one immediately. Ring is probably one of the easiest and most user friendly doorbells on the market and work well with just about any wiring in house. I have one on my house and would never use a different brand because it works so well. Be smart and buy a doorbell camera.
Do you own the company or are you an employee?
How much do you charge per install
Always enjoy your vids handyman!
can you imagine having to pay someone to change a lightbulb out for you. amazing
Maybe its. Having the luxury to be able to pay someone to change your light bulbs. Not everyone is poor and looking for ways to save money. Some people have worked hard and have earned a lot of money. They now have the luxury of not having to do maintenance on their house, cars, landscaping... The list goes on.
I can see a handicap person needing help with that or someone young or old who (physically) can't do it...As easy as it may seem to a lot of us, not everyone is capable hence the reason why this gentleman does what he does.
@@TheHandyman1 i agree ,that's where greed comes in though
I am just amazed that someone will pay you to change light bulbs, how much easier can a job get : ) !!! Way to go!
I have been paid to tighten a loose light bulb.
We had installed ring doorbell for self and works works great and I i’ve got it for a great price as it come with the chime
I use the Unifi G4 Doorbell. all video is stored locally on my network. nothing in the cloud.
I installed a Ring at my house. Nice clean set up, my wife says. You should start installing these as a side job. I laughed and said who would pay for that...........
And yet here you are😂
HM, The jumper you refer to is a diode used to allow new digital doorbells to work on an AC voltage supplied by your doorbell transformer.
It's just a solid wire. No diodes.
Who provided the light bulbs? Shouldn't they have been replaced with clear LED bulbs. Those looked like standard frosted incandescent.
Customer. Leds make you sick.
No door bell for me i got 11 cameras and one by my door has a two way talk and love it
the key to doing the jobs I do is a Magnetic screwdriver haaaa ! I drop stuff ... a LOT !
Flouresent bulbs sometimes have issues with motion/light sensors. LED Cobb bulbs work great and are dimmable.
