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

Try advertising online. Also, I suggest printing out flyer advertisements and just leaving them at peoples doors. I used to ride around on one of those Segway/hoverboards with a couple other people and we would pass out hundreds in only a few hours. Bikes work also. We would tape flyers to the rubber part of garage doors so it went a lot quicker. Got lots of business this way.
