Working For Yourself Ideas | 3 Work Solutions To Start Earning Money

How To Start Working For Yourself

Most people who want to start a new business or do freelance work either do not have alot of money or do not want to invest alot of money to get things rolling. This is understandable as the main objective is making money and not spending it. Also the freedom of being your own boss is a dream that most would love to achieve.

I want to lay out a few work ideas that can be done without investing alot of cash to get started but still be profitable in a short amount of time. Here is the short list of jobs you can work yourself and start making money pretty quickly.

The truth is to start making money you will not need very much equipment or tools and marketing is pretty easy to get things going. Of course professional window cleaning cannot be learned over night but if you are serious about making some cash you have to just get started.

Go to a hardware store and get the following supplies.

• Squeegee 3 sizes
• Wand or sponge
• Rags
• Bucket
• Extension pole
• Small step ladder
• Dishwash liquid

How To Market This Type Of Work:

To get started just make some flyers advertising your services and try to find mid to upperscale homes to distribute them. You can get flyers copied for about 7 cents a copy so making 200 flyers will only cost roughly $14.00.

Add screen cleaning as part of your service and start with a introductory price of say $75.00 for a single story house in and out cleaning. This will help to start getting customers and once you have done your first job ask for refferals if possible.

Cost To Start $100.00 - 150.00

How Can You Market A Flyer Service:

Start advertising on Craigslist to help other small business in the area. If you charge about 7-10 cents per flyer delivered you can make roughly $70.00 to $100.00 per day by putting out between 700 to 1000 flyers. You will want to contact any new businesses in the area to help them get the word out and also check into pizza chains and other businesses which could always use more customers. This is an easy way to start working for yourself with a very small investment. You can have flyers made for your customers or make them yourself and buy a cheap commercial copy machine to increase your profits.
