    Took £570 today, two end of tenancies. Was serious graft and I will be sore tomorrow. Decent pay though for a days work, probably the most I've ever been paid in a day. @Jockomofino thanks for sharing that. Yeah honestly don't know what the plan is, I guess see what happens. For now I'm...

    @2dads its going to be £325 this week and around the same for last week. Not where I’d like it to be but it’s taking a little longer than I expected to get my appointments filled with regular repeat customers. End of tenancy are great and all but they’re one and done type jobs you don’t see them...

    I got sober off drink and drugs 6months ago. There was many failed attempts in previous years but right now I can honestly say I've never felt better, I feel like I've been able to wipe the slate clean and really go after creating the life I want. Your experience with moderation was similar to...

    This is my market. What I'm essentially doing is skewing value which is also discussed in the book. It does violate "entry" fully aware of that, to be honest that's one of the reasons I was able to get in so quick and start making money. I'm aware it's not truly fastlane but that does not mean...

    Thank you. I'll check that interview see if I can pick anything up. I've not niched down yet but I know I'll need to at some point. At the moment I'm literally doing domestic, commercial, airbnb, end of tenancies, but know I'll need to position myself in the market at some point, just not...

    So WTF are NFTs all about? Buying JPGs? Why can't you just right-click save? Is this a giant ponzi? Far from it...

    Thanks for starting the thread. Only just starting to get my head around NFTs. Gonna be a lot of reading/studying/listening in the months ahead and it will take a while for it to settle in. I thought about buying BTC in 2013 and it was like $100, but decided it was all a load of bs. Took my eye...

    £540 this week. Relatively pleased with that as I'd set £500 as a short term goal. I've set up Stripe to start taking a small appointment booking fee when they agree over the phone. Had a couple of flakes from Facebook ads this week and think this could be avoided if I get a deposit from them...

    Never had any negative feedback. I leave the place looking mint. But I’ve gone over on jobs sometimes by a full half hour so I say my bad I’ll just accept what we agreed as the price because it was me being inefficient. Obviously they’re not gonna complain about that but I know I’m shooting...

    Yup I’ve noticed this Also fall victim to this sometimes and I’ve gotta watch for it. Like today I was cleaning this window panel when I realised I’d spent over five mins on a single panel trying to get it a absolutely perfect - wtf am I doing a need to move on - literally had a whole house to...

    Last week: Only two jobs last. £220 for the week so not great. Felt like more of a pipeline/lead gen week. Set up a Facebook page.Tried some Facebook ads which someone offered to help me with. Called the leads that the ads received. I had a booking for this tomorrow but the guy cancelled cause...

    Yeah it’s trickier for sure. Margins a lot thinner. Things change when the cleans get more specialist - like carpet cleaning - people seem to accept that there’s equipment/training costs so are more agreeable to job type pricing rather than by hour.

    Yeah I get you. I think home service work is just better paid over there though not a chance I’m getting that sortve rate in UK. I’m more looking at like 15ph at the moment, maybe 25-30 for end of tenancy/deep cleans. £145 for 1.5hr general cleaning would be very high over here. A customer I...

    This is a very good idea, thank you. I'm not on TaskRabbit yet because the hourly rate they recommend I charge looks very low but I should probably get on there as well initially just to fill my diary. And yes I need to remember the before and afters shots, one guy has just asked for those and...

    Thanks for your message David. Makes sense. I plan to move into these in the next few months once I've built up domestic customers and have regular money coming in, hopefully then I can give the general cleaning working to employee(s) leaving me to work on carpets. There are some equipment costs...

    £385 for the week from 3 days work. Could have been more like £450 but had to say no to a couple of smaller jobs because they wanted the work done at specific times that coincided with other work. Feel like £500pw is a good goal to aim for right now.
