My investment in window cleaning business

[mrClen]

I’m tired of working for someone else and simply wanted a better life. I had family to support and the typical 9 to 5 just wasn't cutting it. I’m getting tired of my efforts making someone else rich. I knew there had to be a low cost service I could start that didn't require a lot of skill or start up capital. I don’t have much money and I needed a working business fast. I knew if I put the same effort into my venture as I did at my job I would be doing great in no time. I tried several business ideas in the past but most simply required too much time and money to get going.

The fact is, I tried and failed roughly 18 different business ideas. In a last ditch attempt at being self employed I tried commercial and residential window cleaning after seeing a man clean a storefront in 4 minutes and go collect $15. I walked up to him and asked about his profession. He then told me he makes $115,000 a year cleaning windows! It didn't take long to decide I wanted to try it and in four weeks I was working FULL TIME cleaning windows.

And your point is..??
You can make that much money, not cleaning windows, but simply in the comfort of your own home with the internet.

i'd be suprised if you could make 120 K a year of domains.

I make around 2 K a year, of course i am only 14 but still you'd need at lest 20 high profte forums to make that type of income.

I honestly don't knwo that many people who can do that.

Hey mrClen,
Well you gotta do what ever makes you happy. If you can make $100k+/year from window cleaning, i'd go for it, I know you can make a fair bit from for sure, as I have friends window cleaning.

All the best, Rhett.

its all about owning your own business thats what got me interesting domains and websites it doesnt matter what you do as long as you own it theres people who sell nothing but junk at the flea market and make 6 figures lol

 

[mrClen]

$115,000 a year cleaning windows or from spamming forums and selling eBooks?

A $50 eBook on how to start a window cleaning business? Seriously, any buyers yet?

You will need:
Buckets, cloths, ladder, time
Find some customers, get them to recommend you to their friends/neighbours/colleagues.

It's great to see someone doing something. Most everyone talks about putting things together and making money but very few get off the starting block or get past the part where things get difficult. Congrats on completing a project and good luck with it.
