Make Your Own Part Time Job

In order to earn egg and butter money sometimes you can have a lazy strategy, but for the most part you are going to have to have some get up and go.

Today's suggestion involves some get up and go. Start a part time (or full time) cleaning business. When you clean as a job you are probably looking at minimum wage money. However, when it is your own business, you are looking at $20-$30 per hour on average.

Let me make it clear that I am not talking about buying a franchise. Rip off!!! So you are wondering how you get clients, right? Everybody shops somewhere, knows people, and basically gets out and about. Just start asking. When you go to the restaurant, hardware store, ANYWHERE take two minutes to ask the manager if they would consider someone to come and clean their store. Figure out how many hours it would take you to clean the place and multiply the amount of hours by $25.

Give them more than they expect - wash windows even though it isn't in your contract, you should be able to eat off the porcelain in the bathroom, scruuub, scruuub, scruuub. Your benchmark when you leave the place is "Does it SPARKLE?

You will be amazed at the power of word of mouth advertising once your first client is happy. If you want to place a small ad in the local paper that may bring some business, but remember Craigslist is FREEEEE!!!

Which cleaning products to use? The cheapest and most effective possible. Also, for my own health I use an enzyme based cleaner as opposed to a chemical based cleaner. This product is a concentrate. You mix it with a few drops of concentrate and a spray bottle full of water. It works great and costs not even pennies per use.



I can't really tell you what you can earn cleaning. I guess that depends of the level of your get up and go.
