    Thanks. Well, that is some good sharing. Here is a nugget to repay you....if it helps. Step 1. Get a list of all the addresses in city/county (from public websites, from county assessors offices, from GIS websites, or even from real estate agents).

    A new marketing tool I'm using with ridiculous ROI

    GOLD! MARKETING 
    I have a couple questions: Does anyone know of a service that will append phone numbers to a list of addresses that you upload? It makes sense that might be a missing piece of the puzzle for folks who have a list of addresses and want to know the phone numbers associated with those addresses...

    Hey, I used to wholesale too. How are you getting the phone numbers to call ugly house owners (as mentioned in your recent slybroadcast post)?

    A new marketing tool I'm using with ridiculous ROI

    This is interesting and well-timed. I got ahold of a list of 17,800 registered contractors in the state of Iowa (from a public records request). They released their names, addresses, phone numbers, and even email addresses to me in one excel spreadsheet. I got it for a friend as a favor but he...

    Starting (and Fastlaning) a lawn care service business

    Its not really landscaping. Strictly mowing. And if he has over 30 customers from word of mouth, I suspect I could blow it up with some targeted marketing.

    He doesnt do snow removal. That was my mistake -- I should have been more specific. The blowers I mentioned are leaf blowers.

    There is a dude in my town who has a mowing side business that is getting big through word of mouth (literally no marketing at all). He wants to sell it because it was just a side hustle that’s now eating up too much time. 2 zero-turn mowers, two push mowers, two blowers, two weed eaters...

    Out of curiosity, are you renting the equipment and doing this on the side? Or, do you own the equipment and do this full time? (I ask because you referred to work during the coming weekend). Also, how are you getting clients (marketing)? Do you offer any additional services like dethatching...

    This is a really insightful post. I never considered aeration. I stewed on your post a bit and it makes total sense! As a lawn mowing business, you are competing against homeowners who already have lawn mowers. So you are trying to zero in on customers who can’t/won’t mow their own lawns...

    I don’t know. Good question. I’ll try to find the program. You could probably call a local parole officer and ask about that program. They wouldn’t be involved but they might know some details. Plus, I know lots of hard working felons who are great people and no one will give them a job...

    I’ve heard of a program (not sure if it’s state or federal) where the government will reimburse employers for one full years worth of salary if they hire felons. Lots of folks getting released are decent people and need jobs. So, basically you get a free employee for one year. Of course...

    Also, if "bandit signs" (like the yard sign I posted above) are allowed in your community, then remember this hard lesson I learned: people LOVE knocking down your signs, especially if they are stapled to telephone poles (at busy intersections, of course). So, consider using a tool like this...

    There was a dude in a facebook group I belong to and he owned a lawn care business. He split tested yard signs, testing out 'pitches', then he tracked which sign generated the most calls. That became his control. So, he replicated it and then tested different 'offers', tracked results...

    This thread got me thinking about how little entertainment there is in my hometown (pop. 23k)...so, i went to a local facebook group (a 'community chat group') and created a poll, asking people what type of entertainment they want to come to town. I was surprised.... Of course, you have the...

    Some new ideas on making money from a marketing/mailing list

    IDEA MARKETING 
    Hello. Thanks for the reply. There are several ways to make money from lists: You can sell the lists themselves (anywhere from $0.05 - $0.13 per name) by cold calling businesses that could use the list. Or, put an ad on craigslist and sell it that way. You could upload lists into facebook and...
