Where do the Jobs come from?
100-percent of our residential and commercial projects are submitted
online personally; by project owners themselves, looking for your
services. In addition to online project posting, many project owners
utilize our contractor directory data base to find a contractor
for their project. Premium members again have the edge; with premium
member listings ranking at the top of each category listing.
How good are the projects?
HandyCanadian.com does its best to ensure that all posted projects
are listed with adequate contact information and sufficient details
so that contractors get an accurate overview of the scope of the
job opportunity.
What kind of projects are posted?
Posted projects cover all areas of residential and commercial construction,
renovation, maintenance, and repair; ranging from 100 dollars to
several million dollars in value.
What is the Posting Process?
Once a project is received, it is posted to a secure server on our
web site. Contractor members receive an e-mail with complete details
of the posted project, and can login at HandyCanadian.com with their
own personal user name and password to view the job description
online.
Premium members are provided the additional information required
for direct contact with the project owner. They can connect with
the project owner about the job, or respond to any other active
job posting of interest – locally, or anywhere across Canada.
With the option to make contact independently, or use our state-of-the-art
online communication tools to interact with project owners and bid
on projects.
When does HandyCanadian.com get
paid?
HandyCanadian.com does not charge lead fees or fees for posting
projects. HandyCanadian.com earns revenue from contractor Premium
Membership fees only. A low, one-time fee; paid annually or semi-annually,
at the contractor’s discretion.
How does HandyCanadian.com select
Contractors?
Any contractor or service professional can join as a HandyCanadian.com
member, add their profile to our directory data base, and receive
e-mail notification of new project postings; Premium Membership
provides additional benefits – including direct project owner
contact information, tools to bid on jobs posted and Top-of-Directory
Listing.

From a bottom line standpoint would
my business benefit?
One secured project from our database, and a contractor member could
immediately recover the membership fee paid – in addition
to a healthy profit! Additional secured projects present even more
profit earning potential; growing your business and increasing company
revenue, without pounding the pavement in search of new job leads.
Successful business owners are well-acquainted with the expense
involved to acquire new project leads; primarily through mass media
advertising such as newspaper, radio, and television. One full-page
ad in a major metropolitan newspaper, for instance, can cost over
$20,000 to run one time! By joining HandyCanadian.com under Premium
Membership, you avoid these high costs. And receive a continuous
flow of regular e-mails outlining new job opportunities in your
area. With complete direct contact information that allows you to
connect with project owners that require your type services.
Analyze the cost of our service and profit potential, and then
compare it to the immense cost of mass media marketing; it makes
perfect sense to join HandyCanadian.com. Theoretically a contractor
could join our service for 5 years at a total cost of $1625.00,
win only one project in that time frame and yet come out with a
profit. Still not convinced? Click

How do I know my personal and
credit card information is secure?
Online security is a matter HandyCanadian.com takes very seriously.
All personal information and credit card transactions are made secure
using SSL (secure socket layer) technology and secure server software.
SSL is the industry standard for protecting web communications
present day. The SSL security protocol provides data encryption,
server authentication and message integrity. Credit card transactions
are processed immediately and securely, using 128-bit encryption
- the highest level generally available modern day.
When you are viewing any Web page, a lock icon near the lower-right
corner of the window informs you whether the entire contents of
the page is protected by encryption while it is being received by
your computer:
Closed lock icon, like on the images displayed below - means that
the page is protected by encryption. Open or broken lock icon -
means the page is not protected by encryption.

The latest version of Windows Internet Explorer 7 displays the
lock icon in the upper right corner of the browser window as indicated
in the image below:

By inputting information into secure online forms, only the intended
party is allowed to translate the encoded information. Again, most
browsers have secure forms built right in, but to be sure, always
look for the locked padlock symbol on the bottom bar or top corner
of your browser window or a change in the address line from "http"
to "https" to ensure that a site is running in secure
mode before you enter sensitive information.
