What's good guys Spencer Claeys here I haven't posted in a while but I'm doing a writing challenge of at least 500 words every single day. This is part 1 if people want I can continue depending on what people want to learn more about.
A bit about me:
I run a Roof and Gutter cleaning business in Seattle, Wa.
We hit $30,000 in the month of November and I have two full time guys working 11 months a year.
My big passion is making videos on Youtube and writing about the process as having business online is much more profitable, but for anyone just starting out, doing any home service is one of the best and fastest ways to break past $10,000 per month.
I've seen guys do solar panel cleaning, gutter cleaning, window cleaning, roof cleaning, mobile car detailing, painting, junk removal etc.
The math is pretty simple.
If you can clean or do a job that's a minimum $200 bucks maximum of about $1,000-2000+ (our average is $400) you simply need to do 20 of those per month to hit $10,000.
Finding 20 customers can be challenging but it's not impossible.
To start you need to find a service that is in demand.
I clean gutters in one of the rainiest places in the country, this business wouldn't work if you don't have gutters in your area.
Find the demand. Search facebook groups, knock doors, look at craigslist etc.
Also, make sure you can charge at least $200 bucks. You don't want to start a car wash and only charge people $20.
To start getting jobs the quickest way is to knock doors. I wouldn't even waste time with a business card or anything just hit the streets and offer something like gutter cleaning for $100 or $200 bucks. SEE what happens. Maybe people want pressure washing or window cleaning instead. Right now you're just gathering data.
I first started with pressure washing and later switched to roof and gutters because that's what the market wanted.
That is the first big key, find an in-demand service and the rest of it is like running downhill.
