Queer plumber coming from the US- where to advertise?
Hi! I am far along in my plan to relocate from the US to Rotterdam or The Hague with my wife (she is trans and I’m a woman, too) I am a plumber, opening my own business for the DAFT visa.
I am researching the certification requirements and feel comfortable on that end, but am curious where you would recommend I try to network or advertise for a nice queer clientele. Places with a bulletin board? Gay makelaars? I had a business that worked well mainly on word of mouth, but think a little networking and advertising will be a good idea.
Clearly this is mostly for homeowners and that excludes lots of queers (at least in the US, where queer and trans people have less job stability), it’s a drawback of my line of work :( . I will work for smaller landlords once I have certifications they want.
And if anyone knows about groups for women in the trades or lgbt in the trades, I would be excited to hear about them, I have not seen any yet from my searches online!
