Hey guys,

I've been checking out this forum for a while now so I thought I'd actually register and start this topic. Anyone know of a great marketing site for contractors and/or a place to find discounted equipment and materials? Yeah, I'm aware of Ebay and Craigs but I'm wondering if there is anything better specifically for us builders.

I don't recommend Craigslist and Ebay is a cheezy way to promote your contractor services. I've used and recommend the following:

Reliableremodeler.com
servicemagic.com
Renovationexperts.com
Bidclerk.com
Calfinder.com

If you know how to bid (and not underbid) and present yourself professionally with knowledge and confidence, you can generate all the business you want from these sites. Be prepared to pay about $50/lead regardless of whether you win the job. You will have to meet many potential customers and at first your close ratio will probably be pretty low. I strongly recommend you prepare yourself to invest a couple thousand into marketing material and leads.

Go get 'em and make a million!
