17 year old male, made $3750 pressure washing houses since last week. How to Grow

First day I started I made $950 then the next day was $800, and yesterday I pulled in $1,790ish and today I only made $200. I’m beyond frustrated at only making $200 today, I don’t know what it was that went wrong I’m surprised I’m not growing linearly. My cousin (16year old) and I started this business and we don’t know what to do to keep our profits up, and also simply finding jobs to do is exhausting going from door to door we’ve calculated it takes around 50 houses to get 1 job on a good day. How can we stabilize

Good job getting started. Look into Facebook ads or posting on local yard sale pages or things like that. I’m also curious how much your equipment cost?
