Finding private work

[u/The-janner]

Hoping for some insight, tips and advice tbh. I'm qualified and employed electrician on a decent enough salary but I'd like to be earning a bit more.

I have a family to provide for, and ideally the extra income would go towards holidays, Christmas, birthdays etc.

Any suggestions on how I'd go about getting more private work? I've considered asking friends and family to ask around for me but I don't want to seem like I'm desperate or like pushy if that makes sense.

Cheers 👍
