Write a service post people can act on
A useful post answers the questions a customer has before they need to ask.
- Name the work. Be specific: “lawn mowing and hedge trimming” says more than “yard work.”
- Give your service area. Include your town and the nearby places you can reach.
- Explain pricing. State a starting price if you have one, or say that you give estimates after seeing the job.
- Make contact easy. Add your preferred contact method and when you usually reply.
Example: “I mow lawns and trim hedges in Albemarle and nearby towns. Message me with your yard size and a few photos for an estimate.”

Before a project starts, describe the result you want and get the main details in writing—even for a small job.
- Share photos and measurements. They help the worker understand the job before visiting.
- Confirm what the price includes. Ask who buys materials, handles cleanup, and removes debris.
- Set the schedule. Agree on a start date, expected duration, and how changes will be handled.
- Check the fit. For regulated or higher-risk work, ask about the credentials and coverage that apply in your area.
Looking for work? Put yourself out there.
Workers deserve their own place to be found. Tell people the jobs you want, the area you can travel, and the experience you bring.
- Say what you do. Name your skills and the work you are ready to take on.
- Share your area and availability. Let employers know where and when you can work.
- Give a pay range. Add your desired hourly rate or explain that it depends on the job.
- Watch for replies. Your post gets its own page where interested people can message you privately. Your conversations are in the message center.
