    What would you do? - Jetwash cleaning biz

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    I actually just listened to that podcast yesterday. I follow it. Listen to any of the service based business episodes and I’m sure you’ll find plenty of good advice and hints to skew value and outdo your competition. A lot of it has to do with just bringing your brand up to date with...

    Lion’s mane is valued for quite a few health benefits, and can be easily dehydrated, ground and put into pills so it’s quick and convenient.

    Can’t find needs

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Every vehicle driving down the road with a company name printed on it is fulfilling a need. Don't worry about reinventing the wheel. Take a proven concept, find the current competition's weak points and improve on those. Value skew. One thing that has really helped me lately has been...

    What Is the Online Equivalent of a "Boring But Stable" Offline Business?

    HOT! 
    Service businesses that farm the work out to contractors/freelancers and take a cut off the top. Commercial and/or residential appraisers, notary publics... tech will never be able to take over these jobs as by law they require an individual.

    Why can't I succeed already? Is something's wrong with me?

    Wordpress web development is not "niching down". Developing websites for business owners specifically is not "niching down". You're competing with literally millions of other web developers. Niching down in web development is finding a specific industry and most likely a small fraction of...

    To me this just sounds like proof that you were successful. When you do well you’ll always have haters. Unfortunately it looks like they got what they wanted by eliminating you as competition.

    Starting a cleaning business

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    @Tubs how‘s it going with the business? I saw a post on NextDoor in our area today with a lady asking if anyone is interested in hiring their cleaning service/maid after giving her a shout out on the app. 5 people immediately replied askIng for the contact info. Hope you’re getting some clients.

    Whats one thing you think or believe that most people on this forum would disagree with?

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    10+ years ago, nobody working in restaurants thought their jobs could be replaced by machines. Now we have automated PoS kiosks that eliminate cashiers... robots making pizza, flipping burgers, deep frying, stir-frying in woks, etc. You can literally run a fast casual restaurant now with maybe...

    Ice vending machines

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    You should weigh your options between ice vending machines and bagged ice coolers. The vending machines you typically find at places like hotels have very low output. I'm sure there are machines with higher output but at the end of the day from my experience in hospitality they won't have the...

    SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING 
    Provide real value and/or something of great interest to people. There’s no secret formula to growing social media. It’s just like a business, it’ll start slow but ideally pick up momentum as you go if the market likes what you’re producing. If you post the same average crap that 99% of...

    Fairfax County? ... or Loudoun? I live here as well. Shoot me a message sometime if you want to talk. I’ve lived here my whole life and know the area and people well. I’ve actually tried to get my wife to start her own cleaning business here but she has no interest. I’d be glad to help you...
